* At the end of ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'', Masato Arakawa is fatally stabbed by Sota Kume [[HeelFaceDoorSlam right as he agrees to turn himself in at Ichiban's behest]], as the cherry on top of Kume's MoreDespicableMinion tendencies. The epilogue makes it seem like he got off scot-free for murdering Arakawa, but ''VideoGame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'' reveals he was arrested shortly after and now serving a long prison sentence for everything he did.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears'', the Mysterious Girl is one of the main instigators of the events of the game and she always. Gets away. With everything. [[spoiler: Also because there's more than one girl]]. And she also looks down on every playable character of the game, treating them only as nuisances, and always uses a [[spoiler:controlled Eidolon to [[HopelessBossFight destroy the characters]]]]. But finally, she gets what she rightfully deserves in the Final Tale, when [[spoiler: Bahamut regains his senses and blasts her with two Megaflares, with her trying to cast Reflect with no avail]]. That. Was. ''Satisfying''. On another note, after that fight, you'll come across a couple of areas where [[spoiler:those girls are found as random enemies. But you can defeat them. Time for some heavy payback!]].

* There is an odd case with ''VideoGame/LuminousAvengerIX'', in which the game takes place 100 years after the bad ending of ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'' where Asimov succeeded in killing Gunvolt and Joule and bending Sumeragi to his will with the power gap left by Nova's death. Copen gives him his just desserts and breaks his power over Sumeragi. In the canon timeline, Gunvolt and Joule barely survive and chase him down before he can implement his plans.

** Although by Central Fiction, while it's unknown how, we might be seeing Hazama/Terumi gluing his warranty again because he's back. We'll just see how successful the gluing is once it's revealed HOW he survived. As it turns out, both Relius and Terumi managed to glue back their warranties, since Terumi turns out to be Susano'o, a PhysicalGod and the original soul possessing the SUSANOO unit inhabited by Hakumen and goes to wreak more havoc... until Ragna himself tore it anew and burnt it to ash by obliterating him out of existence. Unfortunately, Relius managed to keep his warranty intact this time around.

* After being the main antagonists in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift'' and causing a whole bunch of trouble for the cast and never suffering any sort of setback in their plans, karma comes and bites Hazama and Relius right in the ass in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueChronoPhantasma''. Hazama is weakened significantly after being caught in a trap laid by Kokonoe and is ultimately killed by Hakumen in the True Ending. Relius gets his ass royally handed to him by Valkenhayn and while he comes out of it alive unlike Hazama, he's at Carl's and Litchi's mercy as the then former Imperator abandons him when he no longer proves useful.

** The ''protagonist'' can suffer this should he try to date multiple girls. Not only is his infidelity found out on Valentine's Day, he's also beaten up by the girl(s) he cheated on (outside of the one he spent the day with, who never finds out). This is ultimately played with, however, since, assuming you date one of the girls on Valentine's Day instead of hanging out with Ryuji, you'll still get to keep their chocolate (a powerful SP recovery item) you receive from the date, Sojiro will give you a pity chocolate after your subsequent beatdown (which, while a pitiful SP recovery item, is still one more chocolate than you would've received for being faithful), and Sojiro will successfully salvage your relationships with the rest of the girls. This is played more straight in ''Royal'', where female characters with maxed out platonic Confidants with now give Giri-Choco to the protagonist, meaning he'll receive one less chocolate for every girl he romances.

In vanilla Persona 5, Sojiro's Chocolate isn't really a "punishment", since you still get chocolate from the girl you spent Valentine's Day with (meaning you technically "profited" from cheating).


** The ''protagonist'' can suffer this should he try to date multiple girls. Because not only his infidelity is found out on Valentine's Day but he's also beaten up by all the girls he cheated on. And to top it all, Sojiro takes pity on him and gives him a cheap chocolate that is by far one of the worst healing items of the game. Yeah, if you did that you deserve it. Period. In contrast if you're faithful, you are rewarded with one of the best SP-recovery items of the game. Though this can be slightly downplayed if you date one of the girl's on Valentines Day instead of hanging out with Ryuji, as you'll still get her SP-recovery item, she'll be absent from the aforementioned confrontation and subsequent beatdown, and she never finds out about the cheating either.
