* Then in ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' we have Shay doing one of these in the English Dubbed in his duel with Dennis via the effect of his Satellite Cannon Falcon, dedicating his move to his fallen comrades, his sister Lulu and his friend Yuto. It can be seen here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnd_Qbh73II)

* ''ComicBook/{{Bloodlines}}'': The Creator/DCComics CrisisCrossover features this in the portion of the storyline told in the 17th annual issue of ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''. After Ballistic has succeeded in killing the alien who murdered his fellow Gotham City cops, he states that what he did was for eight good men...[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and McCain]].

'''Elan:''' You know, the first time I met [[EvilTwin Nale]], we ended up in almost the exact same situation. He wound up hanging over a pit of monsters, and I pulled him up. He didn't understand why I did it. I told him it was because [[CharacterAlignments I was the Good Twin, not the Neutral Twin]].\\

** In ''ComicBook/UltimateThor'', Odin traps Loki in the Room Without Doors saying "And this is for Balder!"

* ''ComicBook/{{X 23}}'': When Zander Rice has X-23 strapped to an operating table to extract her claws for bonding with adamantium one at a time ''without anasthesia'', he makes a point before beginning of telling her, "This is for my father." For the record, Laura didn't even ''do'' anything to Rice's father, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} killed him escaping Alkali Lake. He's taking it out on ''her'' because [[RevengeByProxy she's Logan's clone and genetic daughter]].

* Titan delivers one in ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}''

* A Belgian Malinois dog named Cairo was among the group of Navy Seals that conducted the fatal raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. Given that a police dog (Sirius, a 4 year old bomb detecting gold labrador) was among the many officers killed on 9/11, it seems like an inadvertent example of this trope.

* The absolute king of this: In R.A. Salvatore's [[Literature/TheIcewindDaleTrilogy second]] published Drizzt novel ''Streams of Silver'', Bruenor the dwarf king-in-exile accomplishes his life dream of [[spoiler:finding his ancestral home, which his clan was run out of when he was barely old enough to remember. When he finds it, he discovers it's still inhabited and operated by an evil dwarven sub-race. Using the axe and armor he inherited from the discovered remains of his father and grandfather (they died fighting heroically, of course), Bruenor examines the place. He runs into a group of the new inhabitants, and becomes so over-wrought during the skirmish he dedicates each axe strong to his ancestors, beginning with: "For me father! For me father's father!" Later he's heard saying, "For me father's father's father's father's--". Lampshaded when the narrator says Bruenor's ancestral line was "long indeed. The gray dwarves never had a chance."]]
* An odd combination with the ArsonMurderAndLifeSaving in the Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures novel ''Infinite Requiem''. When one of the characters realises the full extent of the Doctor's manipulative plan, she knocks him to the ground, saying "This is for using me!" Then she kisses him, saying "And this is for saving our lives."
* Creator/CSLewis's ''Literature/TheHorseAndHisBoy'' when [[spoiler:Aslan wounds Aravis in order to make her know the pain inflicted on her stepmother's slave. The slave was whipped due to Aravis' actions, and Aravis earlier stated that she didn't care what happened to the slave]].

* In Paul Robinson's ''Literature/InstrumentOfGod'', Andrea 528, researching her criminal case, gets into an argument in the law library with a rapist who's researching his case. They trade insults, and then it rises to a fight. She more or less beats the tar out of him, with her first punch a bit of retribution for the woman he raped, when she says, "This is for Ann!" before clocking him one so hard he drops to the floor.

* At the very beginning of the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' novel ''[[Literature/XWingSeries Wraith Squadron]]'', Myn Donos loses his command, Talon Squadron, to [[TheDragon Admiral Trigit]]'s various plans. His almost-girlfriend Falynn dies during the final battle. Needless to say, Revenge Ensues. And then Trigit (while losing badly) decides to bail from his [[CoolShip Star Destroyer]] in a fighter. Donos shoots him down with two missiles. One for Falynn, the other for Talon.
* A psychological example in the ''Literature/{{Revenge of the Sith}}'' novelization, where Anakin unleashes his various childhood demons while fighting Count Dooku, followed up by projecting the atrocities he's suffered during the war against Dooku.
-->When Count Dooku flies at him, blade flashing, Watto's fist cracks out from Anakin's childhood to knock the Sith Lord tumbling back. When with all the power that the dark side can draw from throughout the universe, Dooku hurls a jagged fragment of the durasteel table, Shmi Skywalker's gentle murmur ''I knew you would come for me,'' smashes it aside.

* ''Fanfic/AvatarSongOfIceAndFire'': In chapter 28, as Team Avatar fights Gregor Clegane, Jaime metalbends his helmet while shouting the names of the people he killed twenty years prior, in a ShoutOut to when Oberyn did this in canon.

* ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'': A nice version appears:
-->'''Marion:''' ''[kisses Sallah's cheek]'' That is for Fayah... ''[kisses his other cheek]'' ...that is for your children... and this is for '''you'''. ''[kisses his lips]''

--->'''Bond:''' I had a [[BloodBrothers brother]]. His name was [[spoiler:Felix Leiter]].\\

At one point ORP ''Piorun'' [[LeeroyJenkins charged ahead by herself, blasting away]], transmitting the signal "I am a Pole!" to the German crew. After an inconclusive shootout that lasted almost an hour, the ''Piorun'' [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat withdrew,]] without either ship taking damage.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6655266/17/To-Kill-You-With-A-Kiss To Kill You With a Kiss]]'' the past version of Tom Riddle hits Harry's uncle after seeing where his relatives kept him until he got his Hogwarts letter.

-->'''Kaeloo''': One org-yurt for the rainforest! One org-yurt for the Siberian tiger! [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers And one org-yurt for butt-naked Indians!]]

* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. During the battle in the New Turin Nuclear Plant, a balaclava-wearing terrorists repeatedly stabs Henrietta while saying it's for his brother that she just killed. This awakens Henrietta's suppressed memories of being raped and mutilated by a masked criminal and [[BerserkerRage she decides to inflict some payback of her own.]]

--->'''Mishka''': And this ''[prepares to throw knife at Bond]'' …for my brother! ''[charges towards Bond, who opens the door behind him]''\\
