Line 12:

This often shows up in [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]] scenarios, often targeted at a character who either is or is trying to be human.

'''Alucard''': I get that a lot. }}

* Nanoha from ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' gets this a lot.

** ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As]]'' In the second season, it's the "[[Anti Villain|villains]]" who refer to the eponymous heroine as a demon (after she shrugs off enough magical punishment to kill a lesser being 20 times over, no less). Her reaction? See that page's opening quote.

Her reaction? See that page's opening quote.

** In the third season ''[[Striker S (Anime)|Striker S]]'', Dieci wonders if Nanoha is human after being quickly defeated and seeing the amount of power Nanoha had at the start of the battle -- ironic, seeing how she is one of the few mages of her level who actually ''are''.

** Signum also comments "Good grief, you monster. I thought I was going to die back there." to Nanoha in the last chapter of the ''StrikerS'' manga after their mock battle concludes in a draw. Kind of hypocritical of her, as she probably came closer to killing Nanoha with her fiery explosions.

Line 34:

** ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' has Goku say this after Krillin's death and Frieza's subsequent threat:

{{quote| '''Frieza''': *laughs* I think the brat should go next.

'''Goku''': Y-you ruthless... heartless... MONSTER/[[Precision F Strike|BASTARD]]! }}

'''Goku''': Y-you ruthless... heartless... MONSTER/[[Precision F-Strike|BASTARD]]! }}

{{quote| '''Rosemary''': You...damned...monster.

'''Teresa''': Monster... That makes two of us. }}

* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. Cyborg assassin Triela calls [[Badass Normal]] terrorist Pinocchio this during their [[Final Battle]], because he doesn't [[Why Won't You Die|just keel over and die]] like all her other targets. After Pinocchio throws her out a window, only to have Triela [[Determinator|smash through another plate-glass window after him]], Pinocchio can only comment dryly, "Who's the monster now?"

* ''[[Darker Than Black]]'': The line shows up several times, but it's usually as much due to [[Fantastic Racism]] as to actually evil behavior. Though [[Bad Powers Bad People|given]] [[Good Powers Bad People|the nature]] [[Lack of Empathy|of supers in this show]], there's some intersect there.

* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'': In response to a demand for his name from one of the early bad guys, Kenshiro replies "I don't give my name to monsters." Said early bad guy had just [[Kick the Dog|forced a villager to try to shoot a can off the head of his little boy who was tied to a stake, William Tell style]].

* ''[[Kirby of the Stars]]'': "Anyone who abandons his reason, and lives only by hatred, is a monster!" Interestingly, in the Japanese version, the term "Demon Beast" (which was replaced by "monster" in the dub) is used to describe someone who is consumed by hatred. And, in fact, anyone who has been so not only is considered a monster, it's also possible for that someone to turn into one.
