** [[spoiler:As Yuda realizes while Kinugawa is pursuing him, instead of [[DisposingOfABody burying Iijima]] he should've just left his corpse alone, since technically speaking his death ''was'' an accident and forensics would've determined as much after finding him at the spot where he died. Instead, because [[RevealingCoverUp Yuda went out of his way to dispose of Iijima's corpse]], he can't go to the police now that he's in trouble without potentially exposing himself.]]

* ''Anime/TrainToTheEndOfTheWorld'': Shizuru prepares for her trip to Ikebukuro by learning how to drive the train, but the only supplies she gathers are some junk food and a single bitter melon planter. It's only after they've left town that the other girls point out she doesn't have nearly enough food and also didn't bring any other supplies like bedding or extra clothes.

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'':
** Kiritaka's bullies regularly recorded the various tortures they put him through, and either sent them to him or uploaded them on the internet. Somehow it never occurred to them that Kiritaka would gather the [[CaughtOnTape evidence]] that [[StupidEvil they conveniently handed over to him]] and that he would save it up in order to turn them all in one day -- which he might've done if [[PlotTriggeringDeath they hadn't accidentally killed him]] after going overboard with one of their pranks. No, instead they now have to deal with Kiri's [[KnightTemplarParent vengeful mother Maria]], who upon finding the videos decides to, rather than turn them in, make them ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath suffer]]'' for their sins.
** Using her maiden name to infiltrate the school may not have been Maria's brightest move: [[spoiler:when her ex-husband Taiichiro is assigned to investigate the dissapearance of her victims and learns that the local SchoolNurse's last name is Akeboshi, he starts getting suspicious that she might be related to his ex-wife (even though he admits that it's a common surname)]].

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders. Moving example to the correct section.


* In ''Manhua/GoddessCreationSystem'', Xiaxi assumed she'd be whisked out of the feudal Chinese world she found herself in as soon as Mingluan fell for her, so she [[spoiler:poisons herself and makes it look like Mingyi first blackmailed her and then did the poisoning]] to earn back his trust after he catches her faking concern for him. It works, but then the mission continues [[spoiler:and she's still poisoned.]]



* In ''Manhua/MyWifeIsADemonQueen'', Prince Lolan expects the demon tribe to keep their agreement with him after they broke their agreement with Kahn and Barte. What he hasn't considered is that Kahn and Barte can fight back, but ''he'' can't.

** In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDFreedom'', [[spoiler:Shinn tries to get in between a fistfight between Kira and Athrun. They both end up socking him in the face and dropping him]].
* ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'' has one that mocks the franchise's habit of tearful farewells and a TimeSkip. [[spoiler:Sora, Tsubasa and Ellee say their goodbyes to Mashiro and Ageha in a heartfelt and heartwrenching farewell. The ''very next day'', as Mashiro wonders what the others are doing, a portal opens up and ''there they are''. Tsubasa admits that it's kind of embarrassing to have went through all of that and then just suddenly return]].

* Zigzagged in ''Psychometrer Eiji''. Makihara Kazuma is the son of a high ranking government official as well as the older brother of a recurring character. After making some bad investments, he staged a FakedKidnapping so that he could use the ransom money to recuperate his losses without anyone knowing. This is actually a relatively good idea - unfortunately instead of using a random thug for the scheme, he hired the world's best ProfessionalKiller who wasn’t too happy about being used like that.

* The first episode of ''Literature/{{Gate}}'' starts with an other-worldly army comprised of Medieval tech that enters the modern-day Ginza District of Tokyo -- Japan through the titular "Gate" itself, while obviously succeeding at first as it's nothing more than poor civilian targets along with mild Police combatants, after showing nothing but brutal slaughter as their "First Contact" solution to the people of Japan, the JSDF shortly preps up a retaliatory force that completely annihilates the invading forces and then proceeds to make a Forward Operating Base on the other side of the Gate so that the event never happens again. The main medieval force promptly suffers the same defeat its "scouting force" did, and it just gets better from there in showing the "Empire" new ways of utter humility. Several critics of the Empire like King Duran call them out for trying to invade an unknown land without assessing its strength first.

** Madara Uchiha's plan relies on two other people's actions, and would be ruined if either person died or decided to do their own thing. [[spoiler: Obito]] had to carry out most of the plan, but while he was sufficiently convinced to go through with it there was nothing that made him actually personally loyal to Madara's vision for how the plan should go. [[spoiler:The seal on Obito's heart]] prevented him from directly hijacking the plan, but could be removed through [[spoiler: being stabbed in the heart, which Obito tricks Kakashi into doing]]. He also relies on Nagato resurrecting him at the right time, ignoring that last he saw Nagato, he was an orphan in a war-torn country who could end up dead at any time, and again relies on Nagato actually carrying out the revival [[spoiler:and not using it to revive ''other people'', which is exactly what he ends up doing]]. [[spoiler:Black Zetsu, who was actually manipulating Madara himself, had to go through a round-about method to get Madara revived CameBackWrong, and then to properly revive him to get the plan back on track]].

** Uranus and Neptune's [[spoiler: FakeDefector act in ''Sailor Stars'' amounts to absolutely nothing because they failed to realize that Galaxia was wearing the same bracelets as all her minions, so their ensuing backstab attack [[NoSell doesn't work because she has no star seed]]. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero All they accomplished was making the final battle even more difficult for Sailor Moon than it should have]] by depriving her of Pluto, Saturn and themselves.]]

* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'', the villainous cowboy Hol Horse tries to use his Stand, Emperor (which looks like a revolver and shoots auto-tracking bullets), as a WeaponForIntimidation to threaten some workers into doing what he wants. Unfortunately for him, Stands are InvisibleToNormals (only another Stand user would be able to see Emperor), so all Hol Horse does is make a fool of himself, at which his unwilling partner Boingo reminds him of the previous fact.
