History LaserGuidedKarma / AnimeAndManga

* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' gives us Nobuyuki Sugou, aka Oberon. He's shown to be a complete scumbag when he's introduced, conspiring to marry Asuna (who hated his guts even before being trapped in SAO), trapping her mind in another VRMMO, then near the end of the Fairy Dance arc, tortures Kirito by running him through and decreasing his pain inhibitor while sexually assaulting Asuna, all the while promising to rape her comatose body in the real world. Karma comes in the form of Akihiko Kayaba's digital ghost giving Kirito administrative control, so he can set Sugou's pain inhibitor to level zero and [[CurbStompBattle beat him so badly, he started going partially blind in the real world]]. On top of that, when he tries to kill Kirito in the real world as revenge, Kirito overpowers him and leaves him unconscious in a parking lot, where he's arrested and incarcerated.

** The series being known for having plenty of AssholeVictims, whose cause of death are usually at the hands of someone they wronged or the families of their victims, ,many of their fates can be seen as this.

* Sasuke Uchiha from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity abuses his Mangekyo Sharingan so much during the fights with Bee, the Kage's, Danzo, and finally Team 7]], his vision completely vanishes just as he completes [[PowerArmor Susano'o]]. However, it didn't stick.

* Wong Lee in ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' proved to be a jerk and a bully who put the profits of Anaheim Electronics over the needs of the AEUG, going so far as to beat Kamille Bidan to a pulp and calling it "correcting". When he returns in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'', he's put into his place by Judau, greatly humbled by the young teen.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': [[TykeBomb Nena Trinity]] attacks a wedding purely out of spite ([[ItsAllAboutMe "How dare you have fun while I'm busy working!"]]), killing all but one of the attendees, who loses a hand. Karma bites Nena extra-hard: firstly she gets to watch her beloved brothers get killed by [[PsychoForHire Ali al Saachez]], then after the four-year TimeSkip to the second season she's forced to be TheDragon to Wang Liu Mei (a position she considers humiliating), and finally the lone survivor of the wedding massacre, who became a mobile suit pilot herself in the intervening time, finds and kills her.
** Ali Al Saachez falls victim to this. He gets overpowered and badly injured by the only survivor of a family he almost destroyed. The man, Lyle Dylandy, is willing to spare him because he doesn't want to sink to Ali's level. Ali tries [[ISurrenderSuckers to take advantage of this]], only for Lyle to beat him on the draw and blow his brains out.
** Ribbons has his plans collapse around him due to the child he manipulated behind the scenes and who inspired him to try and play God. Said kid? TheHero, Setsuna F. Seiei.
* Tsubarov and Quinze in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''. Tsubarov dies when the Mobile Dolls that he held to be superior to manned suits were reprogrammed into destroying his base. Quinze was killed by the original Gundam Scientists on board the crippled battleship Libra while attempting a ColonyDrop at the end of the series; the ColonyDrop being what Operation Meteor originally ''was'', and the very Gundam Scientists who retooled it to be the less deadly version we saw ended up giving their lives to prevent Quinze from making it happen.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': [[TykeBomb Nena Trinity]] attacks a wedding purely out of spite ([[ItsAllAboutMe "How dare you have fun while I'm busy working!"]]), killing all but one of the attendees, who loses a hand. Karma bites Nena extra-hard: firstly she gets to watch her beloved brothers get killed by [[PsychoForHire Ali al Saachez]], then after the four-year TimeSkip to the second season she's forced to be TheDragon to the DarkChick (a position she considers humiliating), and finally the lone survivor of the wedding massacre, who became a mobile suit pilot herself in the intervening time, finds and kills her.

** Rubeus [[BadBoss treats the Spectre Sisters like crap]] and often enforces YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness onto them. After failing to catch Chibiusa and the Sailor Guardians, he is on the receiving end of a [[YouHaveFailedMe similar punishment]] when [[KickTheSonOfABitch Esmeraude leaves him to die on his exploding ship]].

* ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao'': In episode 3, Junko assembles a lynch mob to kill Akuto, only for Keena to say something that causes said lynch mob to turn on Junko as well. When Junko pleads with them that they've misunderstood and should listen to her explanation, Akuto points out that he's been trying to say ''the exact same thing'' to her almost since he arrived at school, and that they're unlikely to listen to her any more than she did to him.

* Seraphim gets this in ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' when she decides not to follow through with the hit on Eucliwood. One episode later, when she's killed in an ambush, Eu was on hand to supply blood to revive her.

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' gives us Nobuyuki Sugou, aka Oberon. He's shown to be a complete scumbag when he's introduced, conspiring to marry Asuna (who hated his guts even before being trapped in SAO), trapping her mind in another VRMMO, then near the end of the Fairy Dance arc, tortures Kirito by running him through and decreasing his pain inhibitor while sexually assaulting Asuna, all the while promising to rape her comatose body in the real world.

* In ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'', whenever the higher-ranked students are shown to look down upon or make fun of Class E students, Koro-sensei helps them to get their revenge or something eventually happens to make them regret it unless Asano Sr. intervenes. [[spoiler:In the end, Shiro/Yanagisawa, the MadScientist who [[BigBad was behind most of the misfortune in the series]], is left a vegetable while his antimatter experiments are officially outlawed, while Asano Sr. is forced to resign after his school's discriminatory policies are leaked into the public.]]

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' Myotismon gets karmic payback for everything that he did to the Digidestined but more specifically, for murdering Wizardmon. This causes Gatomon (whom he had previously enslaved and forced to work for him) to Digivolve into Angewomon, the Digimon predestined to kill him. The karmic retribution for the crap he put the others through comes when they combine their energies with hers to form an arrow she uses to shoot him through the heart and kill him ([[OnlyMostlyDead but not really]]).

** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' Frieza forces Broly to fight despite Broly generally hating violence, and pushes him past his RageBreakingPoint by [[spoiler:killing his AbusiveDad, [[AssholeVictim Paragus]]]]. This comes back to bite him when [[spoiler: Broly, now a Super Saiyan, proceeds to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat Frieza into a pulp for an entire hour]] while Goku and Vegeta are working out the Fusion Dance.]]

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', this is applied to a few of the homunculi. Gluttony, who ate his victims, was himself devoured by Pride. Envy killed himself when in his helpless maggot-form the humans started pitying him, and Pride was BroughtDownToNormal, made into the human boy whose form he was inhabiting, despite being extremely, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin proud]] of his homunculus superiority.
** One of thing really bit Pride in the keister was his habit of devouring his beaten comrades. Turns out he should have been more careful because one of his victims is able to keep his consciousness in his mindscape and helps the hero at a critical moment.

* Sasuke Uchiha from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' (despite it not sticking). [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Abuses his Mangekyo Sharingan so much during the fights with Bee, the Kage's, Danzo, and finally Team 7]], his vision completely vanishes just as he completes [[PowerArmor Susano'o]].

** One chapter features Kenshin pitted against a foe by the name of Senkaku, a towering, hulking pinheaded thug armed with bladed knuckles, the same speed which our hero can achieve, and is the bullish tyrant who dominated a village for his master's conquests, going as far as even murdering a boy's family for the simple act of leaving. Though he hopes to best Kenshin to gain brownie points from his boss, he is tricked into utterly tearing apart his knee muscles from being goaded into speeding up as fast as our hero, who had better training to adjust to his level of agility, and used his hulking mass to his advantage, by merely gradually speeding up and forcing him to his limits. After this, he is subjected to three people's verbal breakdowns: one from Kenshin, who lets Senkaku know why his body gave out, and puts him under fire for his atrocities, bringing to him the realization of his actions; one from Saito, who explains how Kenshin's tactics worked and gives him a faceful of ironic humble pie; and one from his aforementioned boss, Shishio, who nails it in that he knew from the start that he had no chance in hell of defeating Kenshin, lets him know that a personal execution is in store for him for being embarrassingly defeated by not even getting his foe to draw his sword, letting him know of how much worth he truly is to his master and ups the shame factor to 11. By the end of this, he is shipped off to the authorities to be tortured and up on the block for Death Row, while the anime shows that he escapes- [[spoiler: And is put to death by right-hand man Sojiro, who still follows the group's "Kill or Be Killed" mentality and is not convinced of his turn of cheek.]]

* In ''LightNovel/InfiniteGacha'', the entire elf race, to the last child, suffers a face full of karma for the way they abuse their human slaves. As part of his XanatosGambit, protagonist Light engineers a full and immediate SlaveLiberation and evacuation of all the humans in the elf kingdom, upon threat of deadly force. In ''less than a week'', the elves all learn, rather painfully, that every single one of their GreenAesop complaints against the humans actually apply to themselves instead, as now they have nobody around to clean up after their filth and refuse, and none of them even know where to start trying to do the work. Vermin of all stripes are lured in by the stench and start spreading disease. Light (and the fanbase) find it all very, very gratifying.

** Speaking of her brother, [[TheEvilPrince Julio]], who is responsible for most of the events mentioned above, used his army to order a genocide of all the normas after his original plan to have Ange killed failed. This comes back to [[TheDogBitesBack bite]] him big time in episode 13 when Ange, who at this point has [[TookALevelInBadAss become a]] [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge completely decimates much of his forces]] and was ready to kill unless he called off the massacre. Even after he does, Ange, who is understandably pissed at him, is prepared to kill him anyway, leaving him [[DirtyCoward pleading for his life]]. Ange is about to deliver the final blow but is stopped by the series BigBad, who proceeds to do the deed himself, taking Julio and a good chunk of his army down.

** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' Frieza forces Broly to fight despite Broly generally hating violence, and pushes him past his RageBreakingPoint by [[spoiler:killing his [[ParentalAbuse abusive]] [[AssholeVictim father]] Paragus.]] This comes back to bite him when [[spoiler: Broly, now a Super Saiyan, proceeds to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat Frieza into a pulp for an entire hour]] while Goku and Vegeta are working out the Fusion Dance.]]
