== Note: As a [[Death Trope]], [[Handling Spoilers|all spoilers on this page are unmarked]]. ==
----
* Right, [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Keiichi]], go into that creepy basement with a self-confessed psychotic murderer. Nothing bad will happen. And after you survive that, feel free to go out in the [[Idiot Ball|dead of night to chat with her]].
** To be fair, the original game had a decent reason. Doesn't make it any smarter, though.
* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': Several characters of the series (including [[The Hero]] or its [[Tsundere]] [[Battle Couple]]) get at least one occasion where they seem determined to off themselves. The civilians thought it was a good idea remaining near from the place where a [[Humongous Mecha]] and a [[Robeast]] were fighting, or blamed the heroes for the destruction and deaths Hell and his lackeys were responsible of, or pressed the Government to yield EVERY TIME Dr. Hell was blackmailing it are good examples. A good, specific example is ''[[Mazinger Z/Characters|Yuri]]'', [[Bratty Half-Pint]] Sayaka's cousin: Let's go over the facts, Yuri. You are a disabled, little [[Ill Girl]] can't run or move quickly because you need a wheelchair. You know there is a giant robot in the city, stomping on buildings and people. Kouji has gone out to stop it after telling you very clearly you must stay in home because you are safer. Still do you insist on leaving the home and go to where the giant robots are fighting because you have a crush on Kouji and you want to see him? Okay, you can leave. After all, what can possibly go wrong?
* Many, if not all, of the characters in ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]'' get at least one occasion where they act like this. However, this trope gets played to its actual conclusion in one late-manga story, which really makes it into [[Mood Whiplash]]. One character's father receives a scroll detailing a martial arts style which makes use of a lot of brute-force tricks, and a bearhug attack explicitly stated to be capable of snapping a man in half. Kumon Senior intends to use these moves to revitalize his dojo, which is dilapidated to the point it's being held aloft only by a single, rotting pillar, but he decides to master this spine-shattering bearhug by '''practicing on the pillar'''. Naturally, when he succeeds in learning it, the whole house collapses on top of him, killing him.
** In the second movie, the monkey guy who uses his super-cool psychic attack of soul-crushing despair.....on [[Angst Nuke|Ryouga]].
*** Though that's partially justified, as he had no idea Ryouga was empowered by depression, and against anyone else it would have been a [[Game Breaker]].
Line 22:
** Loly goes so far to claim that she's going to kill Yammy and Ulquiorra, two of the Espadas while she has no special combat ability of her own even if she most likely didn't know about Yammy being Espada #0.
** It doesn't help much that the only thing stopping her from being mauled ''AGAIN'' is the fact that Ulquiorra, of all people, was forcing Ichigo to continue the fight, saving them... for another ten seconds.
* In ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', [[Dirty Coward|Makuramon]] decided it would be a great idea to show up and taunt [[Psycho for Hire|Beelzemon]] over the latter having trouble fighting [[Walking Wasteland|Megidramon]], ''while he's still fighting Megidramon''. [[Sarcasm Mode|'Cause pushing the]] [[Berserk Button]] [[Sarcasm Mode|on a guy with a]] [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] [[Sarcasm Mode|who's already a]] ''[[Sarcasm Mode|lot]]'' [[Sarcasm Mode|stronger than you and has been having a bad day is totally a good idea]].
** Never mind the fact that said guy [[Your Soul Is Mine|kills Digimon to absorb their data/strength]]--which Makuramon ''knew''-- and currently needed a boost to beat Megidramon. [[Kick the Son of a Bitch|Guess who]] [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|he picks]].
* Inverted in ''[[Baccano!]]'' when Randy and Pezzo's stupidity leads to them becoming ''immortal.''
** Isaac and Miria, also Too Dumb To Die, as they'd probably fly under the radar of anyone who ''could'' kill them.
*** Not that they'd be able to anyway; it takes them until they're walking around the modern-day world to realize they haven't aged in about 70 years, and are thus also immortals.
