History KarmicDeath / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Befitting his parasitical nature and need to manipulate others or get their aid somehow to proceed in his plans, when [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]] is finally ripped off the Titan's heart and left bereft of any power, all he can resort to is shapeshifting back into his original human form as Philip and pathetically trying to claim that [[BlatantLies his actions were the result of being cursed by dark magic]]. It fools nobody, and Luz doesn't even bother to respond to him. With his glamour and body falling to pieces in the boiling rain, all he can do is rant at her that killing him like this will only make her as evil as the witches. He is then promptly shut up and finished off for good by said 'evil' witches themselves, [[UndignifiedDeath helplessly stomped into muddy paste underfoot]] by the woman who is greatly hinted to be descended from Caleb and Evelyn, the son of the mythical being he pretended to be a messenger for, and his latest possession victim, scarred from his control.

* ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'': The antagonists of "Ndovu's Last Journey" are a couple of {{Evil Poacher}}s who kill elephants for their tusks, as they're shown doing in the opening scene. They try to kill the old HonorableElephant Ndovu for the same reason and are foiled several times by the Quest Team because Ndovu asked Jonny to escort him to the {{elephant graveyard} so that he can die in peace. Following the Quest Team to the graveyard, the poachers plan to strike it rich with all the ivory of dead elephants and attempt to kill the entire Quest Team before [[AndroclesLion Ndovu comes to the rescue]] and kills the two elephant killers by [[FinishingStomp trampling one]] and throwing the other in the air, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice causing him to get impaled by a tusk]].

* ''WesternAnimation/IHeartArlo'': In the Season 1 finale, the Bog Lady receives her ultimate fate -- for secretly protecting Arlo to the point she did not want him to leave the swamp, luring him back to the swamp and trying to force him to stay forever, and almost eating him and his friends alive -- when Edmée blows up her shack right underneath her, causing her to sink and melt into nothingness.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'' episode “The Stars at Night”, this happens twice:

** King Sombra, twice. First in Part 2 of "The Crystal Empire", he meets the consequences for invading the Empire when Cadance and the ponies power up the Crystal Heart and restore the town, destroying him. He meets an even worser fait when he gets blasted by the mane ponies' friendship magic -- without the Elements of Harmony -- and disintegrates into nothingness.

** In book three, this ends up {{Double Subver|sion}}ted. [[spoiler:Simon is narrowly saved from falling into the train's wheels, the same method Simon murdered the lovable Denizen, Tuba. Simon repays mercy with treachery, kicking his savior Grace toward the wheels instead and ends up biting it for real when he's cornered by a Ghom, with Grace now totally unable to protect him a second time. Simon's death, while karmic and totally his own fault, is also played for tragedy as it in the end is a needless tragedy and a bitter conclusion to Simon's already troubled life.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', "Knock It Off" features one-shot villain Dick Hardly, who mass-produces shoddy clones of the Girls for financial gain. When confronted by the girls, he literally ''swallows'' an entire bottle of Chemical X, [[OneWingedAngel turning him into a monster]]. He is soon afterward killed when [[TheDogBitesBack his clones turn against him]] and [[CollapsingLair his factory falls on top of him]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'': In "They Craved Duckman's Brain," A doctor by chance discovers the CureForCancer buried within Duckman's brain. Duckman is then kidnapped by a depraved medical supplier, who plans to kill him so he can continue profiting off of the infinite money he's made off the disease. Later, while trying to chase Duckman down, he crashes into a truck full of cigarettes which catches fire, and inhaling all of the cigarette smoke causes him to waste away from cancer in mere seconds. To make it even more obvious, the brand of cigarettes was "Poetic Justice."

** In book three, this ends up DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler:Simon is narrowly saved from falling into the train's wheels, the same method Simon murdered the lovable Denizen, Tuba.

* In the second season finale of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', when Hank Hill is forced to work at Mega Lo Mart, Hank warns Mark Buckley, his niece's boyfriend, that he should properly carry propane tanks or it will explode which Buckley dismiss since Hank is a new worker despite Hank being older and has experience with propane tanks (plus out of pettiness since Hank disapprove his niece's boyfriend). By the end of the episode, Buckley's carelessness not only gets him killed but also causes a big explosion that destroys Mega Lo Mart.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': Unalaq is killed by the very same spiritbending technique he used throughout the second arc and considering everything he did up to that point (banishing Tonraq, putting Tonraq in jail, manipulating Korra, putting Jinora into a comatose state, treating his own son as a liability, destroying Korra's link with her past lives, nearly destroying the world etc) he definitely got what was coming to him.
