History BullyingADragon / AnimeAndManga

** Mikoto is often targeted by gangs of delinquents. Even if they don't recognize her personally, she is always wearing the uniform of a school that only includes Level 3 or higher Espers.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' gives us Ash Ketchum, an unarmed ten[[ComicBookTime (?)]] year old boy who has never let the fact that a [[OlympusMons Legendary]] or armed criminal could reduce him to greasy paste stop him from chewing them out if need be. He even once yelled at [[OlympusMons Palkia]], who just spent half the movie [[RealityWarper disintegrating space]]. And the first movie has Ash ''twice in a row'' futilely attempt to stop [[PhysicalGod Mewtwo]] by ''punching him in the face''. (Miraculously, Ash seems able to reason with these titans of the Pokémon world somehow and get them to back off... ''Most'' of the time.)

* Cell does this to Gohan in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. In an odd variation on the trope, Gohan ''at the time'' was hardly a match for Cell. Cell kept pressing his {{Berserk Button}}s so he'd unleash his hidden power and be a WorthyOpponent. Cell underestimated just how worthy he'd be.

** Then there's Dr. Gero having repeatedly insulted and berated 17 and 18 who were rebellious teenagers before he forcibly turned them into cyborgs. Cyborgs far stronger than he is, mind you. What happened to him was inevitable.
*** And there's a double dose of TooDumbToLive in this example. See, when Dr. Gero built 17 and 18, he realized how difficult they would be to control, and so came up with a new design for future androids that, while still strong, were more limited in their power. Sounds pretty GenreSavvy, right? Except that he then rebuilt ''his own'' body, and used the deliberately weakened design on himself rather than the fully powered one that might've enabled him to stand up to 17 and 18 (or better yet, to not even need them in the first place). Yeah, he's a genius, alright.

* At the start of ''Manga/TigerMask'', the title character is attacked first by a child and then by a knife wielding grown man. Tiger Mask is a wrestler in a world where ProWrestlingIsReal, and at the start of the manga was [[TheDreaded a heel infamous for the beatings he inflicted on his opponents]]. While Tiger Mask is willing to forgive the child because he is, after all, a child and the son of one of Tiger Mask's previous victims, the knife wielder is not so lucky, and [[MakeAnExampleOfThem Tiger Mask uses how he beat him up as example on why you shouldn't try and imitate the child]].

** Unlike his father who favored the carrot (cake), Babidi preferred to use the stick in controlling Buu. Whenever Buu showed some disobedience, Babidi would threaten to reseal the monster. This continued until Goku scolded Buu for letting such a weak coward order him around and Babidi shortly found himself lacking a head.

** Chi-Chi did this to Buu for murdering Gohan. What's his response? Turning her into an egg and crushing her.

** The extra chapter "Fly" confirms that the Green Dragon's village is the same way. While the Blue Dragon villagers were scared of the dragon's eyes and had forgotten the history of the power after two thousand years, the Green Dragon village was razed by people wanting the power of the Green Dragon for themselves, and the villagers reacted by chaining and imprisoning the Green Dragon so that no one would know of his existence. Jaeha finally escaped when his predecessor grew too weak to stop him. While he resented the previous Green Dragon, Garou, for beating him up and capturing him, he also recognized that Garou suffered as much as he did, and seemed to respect Garou for never attacking the villagers. Jaeha offered to carry Garou with him when ran away, but Garou chose instead to hold back the villagers shooting arrows at Jaeha.

** A literal and double case of this happens in the Sabaody Archipelago arc with Saint Charloss, one of the World Nobles, a.k.a. the Celestial Dragons, living proof that AristocratsAreEvil. See, a ''lot'' of people would love to show the Nobles the true meaning of pain, but you can't attack a Celestial Dragon, because if you do, they'll call an Admiral and a warship to come attack you. So, Saint Charloss decided to shoot one of Luffy's new friends and enslave him, but he was unaware of two little details when he pulled the trigger: the one he attacked was Luffy's friend, and Luffy ''does not care'' about consequences. [[BerserkButton Attack his friends]], and you're on the fast track to death's door, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB-2pNWspRo here]].

* In ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'', the "guardians" of the blue dragon isolate the bearers because of a curse that they themselves made up. Luckily for them, the dragons have either been ashamed of themselves or, like Sinha, are [[TheFettered kind enough to forgive them]].
** It is strongly implied that the Green Dragon’s village is the same way.

** Special mention goes to Don Krieg, who picks a fight with Dracule Mihawk, who'd previously turned his several large battleships and army of pirates into one badly trashed battleship with most of his men dead. Then showed up just to finish off Krieg's last battleship due to being bored. Which he did with [[ImplausibleFencingPowers one swing of his giant sword]].

** Also, Kyouka of Tartaros captured Erza, stripped her naked, and tortured her. Later, Erza broke free and then completely and utterly curbstomped her!

* In ''Manga/AkatsukiNoYona'', the "guardians" of the blue dragon isolate the bearers because of a curse that they themselves made up. Luckily for them, the dragons have either been ashamed of themselves or, like Sinha, are [[TheFettered kind enough to forgive them]].

* ''AngelDensetsu'': Ryoko is trying to have a nice, peaceful date with Kitano when some jerk tries to pick her up. When he gets grabby over her refusal, she curbstomps him. Once he wakes up again, he gets pissed off by the fact that a girl beat him up, and goes after her again. She curbstomps him ''again''. The pattern repeats (even as his more sensible friends beg him to cut his losses) until he and his friends corner her and she trips and sprains her wrist. Then Kitano shows up...

* ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'': Kenichi used to be weak and powerless. He still looks like a little dude due to his training, and even still acts afraid of people many, many ,many, MANY times weaker than him, just because they look scary. This is slightly subverted as the moment the bullies/thugs find out who he is, they usually back off and immediately apologize out of fear.

* In an early arc of ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'', former EvilChancellor Stoffel von Spitzweig tries to curry favor with the protagonist Yuuri (recently made Maou/Demon King) by kidnapping him. That's actually not the bullying part - Stoffel was only doing it so he could have a chance to talk to the kid alone, and treated him well while he was there. But when Yuuri's retainers naturally objected to this, in the pitched battle that followed Stoffel chose to target the most frail-looking of them: Gunter von Christ, known as not only a powerful magic-user but one of the best sword instructors in the kingdom. It'd be understandable to assume the ridiculously-pretty skinny one was a weakling if it was anyone else, but Stoffel should have known damn well what Gunter could do.

* ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'': Fei Long and T. Hwak make the mistake of picking a fight with RyuAndKen, respectively. Both end up regretting it in short order:
** Ryu gets shoved into the ring, while he's in Hong Kong, simply for commenting on the fight he saw. Then his would-be opponent taunts him by grabbing his dogi and jostling him... Ryu [[OneHitKO drops him with a simple headbutt.]] Fei Long decides that's his cue to step in and doesn't take "no" for an answer. He ends up with a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder.
** T. Hawk tries to gain fame and recognition by picking a fight with Ken, who tells him twice that he isn't interested. Then adds that Ryu was the only one capable of beating him, but T. Hawk doesn't listen. So Ken shows him why he ''should've'':

* ''Anime/VariableGeo'': [[LipstickLesbian Yuuki's]] first match was nearly her last, after making the mistake of sexually harassing [[{{deuteragonist}} Satomi]], who happens to have one of the highest latent fighting potentials on record. Satomi warned her to knock it off and fight seriously, but when Yuuki [[ForcefulKiss went so far as to kiss her cheek]], Satomi's patience [[RageBreakingPoint reached its limit.]] She unleashed her [[KillItWithFire ultimate attack]][[note]]which is essentially her rendition of [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheRugalSaga Kyo Kusanagi's]] "Ama no Murakumo" [[LimitBreak NeoMax]][[/note]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill incinerating the ring and Yuuki along with it.]] She barely survived the attack and was hospitalized afterward with second-degree burns (seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbdWdf_WoeU at 22:37-23:03 here).]]

* ''Anime/VariableGeo'': [[LipstickLesbian Yuuki's]] first match nearly wound up being her last, after making the mistake of sexually harassing [[{{deuteragonist}} Satomi]], who happens to have one of the highest latent fighting potentials on record. Satomi warned her to knock it off and fight seriously, but when Yuuki [[ThanksForTheMammary went so far as to grope her]], Satomi's patience [[RageBreakingPoint reached its limit.]] She unleashed her [[KillItWithFire ultimate attack]][[note]]which is essentially her rendition of [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheRugalSaga Kyo Kusanagi's]] "Ama no Murakumo" [[LimitBreak NeoMax]][[/note]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill incinerating the ring and Yuuki along with it.]] She barely survived the attack and was hospitalized afterward with second-degree burns (seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbdWdf_WoeU at 22:37-23:03 here).]]

** Arguably the biggest example in terms of representative power levels in the series came in the first chapter, when the 8 million bounty mountain bandit Higuma bullied ''Shanks'', who was formerly a member of Gold Roger's pirate crew, and in canon, is one of ''the Four Emperors'', and easily on par with the Marine Admirals. It may be slightly justified in that Shanks showed no indication of such strength, that it was probably a secret that he was part of Roger's crew, and that he wasn't one of the Emperors at the time (probably).

* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', lots of people screw with half-demons, despite the fact that many half-demons openly possess enough raw power to destroy everyone in the towns that scorn them. True, demons scorn them as well, but even the weakest demon is, generally, much stronger than a human -- in other words, they have a decent chance of fighting back. Humans don't.
