** Ikuto, from ''[[Digimon Savers]]'', also is given some of the woobie treatment. First, his foster mother is killed right in front of him. Then his friend, Gotsumon, deems him a traitor (because he's human) and tries to kill him. Next, he meets his real father, who ''wants no part of him at first'' as he might bring back some serious emotional issues his mother suffered from. Once he does meet his mother, she's arrested. Then an entire fleet of digimon, headed by Gotsumon, declares war on Earth unless he's turned over to be executed. After that, his foster father is killed right in front of him, and suffers quite a bit while it happens. Hell, that's not even taking in his whole identity complex either. |

** There's also Touma from ''[[Digimon Savers|Savers]]''. First, his mom was hit by a truck and died on their way to a festival, so he was sent to live with his rich Austrian father. Touma's dad is a good guy, but spineless, so he did nothing when Touma's grandmother basically refused to acknowledge him either for being half-Japanese or [[Heroic Bastard|illegitimate]]. ''Then'', we find out he has a younger sister who's very ill, and that the reason he's been working himself so hard that he's a licensed doctor at age 14 is to cure her. And that's not to mention the {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]] bit he pulled, which involved him nearly killing Ikuto and Yatagaramon, and indirectly killing Agumon.}} |

* Touma Kamijo from ''[[ |
* Touma Kamijo from ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]''. The entire reason Touma {{spoiler|ever came to Academy City in the firs place}} makes him a woobie. His right hand giving him bad luck is the entire premise for the show, but some {{spoiler|people came to believe that being around him was enough to get affected. When he was a kid, a man blamed Touma and his right arm for his business failing and tried to stab the poor kid.}} To top it all off, a {{spoiler|TV agency}} caught wind of this and decided to {{spoiler|run a special program on little Touma and his arm.}} Adding insult to injury, {{spoiler|they released photos of Touma without his parents' permision.}} And if THAT wasn't enough, you also find out that the head of Academy City {{spoiler|'''orchestrated all of that to ensure that he would end up in Academy City in the first place!'''}} Talk about a [[Gambit Roulette]]. |

* Some fans of ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' feel this way towards Satoshi, and the series does seem to set him up this way sometimes—particularly his assertion that he can't let anyone close to him for fear that his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] will harm them. |

* Future Trunks from ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', what with being the only hope left in an apocalyptic hellhole of a [[Bad Future]] where the villains could kill him at most any time and just leave him alive to toy with him for roughly twenty years {{spoiler|until he finally turns the tables and it was awesome}}. |
