* ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' exemplifies this trope, being based off of ''Literature/BattleRoyale''. Of course, if you really want to get into the nitty gritty aspect of it, it's much more of a KillEmAll. This is doubly true in that the vast majority of deaths (or at least, when they are to occur) are determined randomly.
