* In the ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' light novel ''Drugs and Dominoes,'' Luck Gandor beats the hell out of [[spoiler:Gustavo]] with a chair, announcing as he does that each blow is for a Gandor business or employee attacked by the [[spoiler:Runorata under Gustavo's command]]. One of the more amusing items on the list was actually his own ''head'', which one [[spoiler:Runorata-hired]] druggie had sliced off some time before… Er, [[{{Immortality}} he got better]].

* ''Manga/DetroitMetalCity'': Krauser II gives this speech as he humps death metal legend Jack III Dark on stage, randomly dedicating the last one to [[Franchise/DragonBall Kuririn]]…
** Pretty much the same thing happened in Manga/{{Gintama}}, only more randomly. Kagura kicks a turtle alien at the beach, shouting, "Stand up! That was for Krillin! Next is…" She gets interrupted before she can go on.

-->'''Kaname''': This is for the pain in my heart! ''[BAM!]'' This is for the pain in my body! ''[BAM!]'' And this is for… THE PAIN IN MY SOOOOUL! ''[BAM!!]''

--->'''Hermes:''' This kick was for Gloria. And this one is also for Gloria. And the next one is also for Gloria. And the next one. And the one after that. And the next one, and next one… '''They're ''all'' for Gloria!'''

** ''Anime/MazingerZ'': In the manga, as the main team are making preparations for the FinalBattle, Kouji declares--[[HotBlooded loudly, of course]]--that, for his poor murdered granddad, for everyone who's been hurt, and for the peace of Japan… THIS TIME HE'LL DESTROY DR. HELL FOR GOOD!

'''Duke''': But Gandal! It was your mistake coming here! For my parents… And for all citizens of Fleed… I will kill you!

** Not too much later Ranma himself got to do it to his father Genma, who believed his son had finally surpassed him in skill--the most significant aspect of this being (to Genma) an end to the days in which he could beat up his weaker child and eat all of their food himself, as apparently happened on a regular basis during Ranma's formative years (…and beyond). Ranma reassures him that he holds no grudge, and he ''certainly'' [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial wouldn't think to take advantage of the situation…]] and of course we immediately [[DescriptionCut cut to the sparring lot]]: "And this is for the rice bowl! This is for the pastrami!" [etc.]

* The titular character of ''[[Manga/TsujiuraSanToChupacabra Tsujiura-san to Chupacabra]]'' does this while beating up some would-be perverts. She declares each blow in dedication to the fossilized "Mongolian Death Worm" [[SuperGullible (actually an obvious fake, but don't tell her that)]] she had just bought and which they had destroyed, prompting the beatdown. The male protagonist Yuu, who had been beaten up by the thugs, hopes for a second that the last blow will be dedicated to him… but Tsujiura being Tsujiura, it's again for the Death Worm.

* Yusuke Urameshi from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' pulls this one in the Dark Tournament arc against [[MadScientist Dr. Ichigaki]]. He delivers a pounding and a ShoutOut for each person Ichigaki had hurt or done wrong, including the three martial arts students he had enslaved, their master whom he had given a terrible sickness, Kuwabara who had suffered grave injuries in trying to save the students from their enslavement (slightly played for laughs since he had thought of it on the spot, which Kawabata gets annoyed by), and then he wraps it up with "And the last one's for me… just for pissing me off!", along with the final, fiercest blow.

* ''Franchise/XMen'':
** In ''Manifest Destiny'' #1, Boom-Boom, having used a FriendingNetwork to research a villain who'd humiliated her, gets a rematch and starts dedicating the NonFatalExplosions she uses to knock the villain around:
--->'''Boom-Boom:''' ''[BOOM]'' This is for tricking me with a crappy superpower!\\
''[Boom]'' This is for being dumb enough to put damaging personal information on a website!\\
''[BOOM]'' And this is for having more inter-friends than me!
** At the climax of ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'', Apocalypse asks Nate if he has any last words.
--->'''Nate''': Four, in fact. [[MentorOccupationalHazard THIS IS]] FOR [[ParentalSubstitute FORGE]]!

* When Zander Rice has ComicBook/{{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]].
* ''ComicBook/GlobalFrequency'' #10: The Frenchman, after tearing off the PsychoForHire's arm at the shoulder, beating him to death with it, and stuffing it into his mouth:
-->'''The Frenchman:''' And that's for stealing my girlfriend's book on biofeedback.
* ''ComicBook/{{Dinocorps}}'': Kayla, after she encounters Icks or Blix and shoots him dead:
--> '''Kayla''': "That's for Buzz!"
* During the GLA miniseries, ComicBook/SquirrelGirl reminds her squirrel army "that this" is for her squirrel sidekick, Monkey Joe, as they incapacitate the villain Machete. A bit of a subversion, as Machete had absolutely nothing to do with Monkey Joe's death, and the next panel has the ghost of Monkey Joe saying "Not like it's going to bring me back or anything."
* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} does this quite often… [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Usually for something utterly unrelated to the target of his attacks]]. Shouting "And this is for the ''Valdez''!" while attacking Roxxon ('''not''' Exxon, the actual owners of the ''Valdez''), for example.
-->'''Deadpool (in Germany):''' This is for ''Normandy''! And this is for… uhm… for… Bridgitte Nielsen!\\

'''Merc:''' And this… ''this'' is for-- ''[notices Deadpool is right in front of him]'' --huh?\\

* During Walt Simonson's ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'' run, Odin, Thor and Loki join forces against Surtur as the fire-demon attacked Asgard with the intent to bring about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Ragnarok]].
-->'''Odin:''' For Asgard!\\
'''Thor:''' For Midgard!\\
'''Loki:''' For myself!
* The event comic ''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}'' has this when Richard Rider kills Annihilus, whose Annihilation Wave previously destroyed the entire Nova Corps.
-->'''Nova''': ''[as he's tearing out Annihilus' insides]'' THIS IS FOR NOVA CORPS!
* In ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', Pinocchio uses this when he's tearing into [[spoiler:The Blue Fairy]]. He relates every single instance he almost had sex, as it's kind of hard to score when you're [[NotGrowingUpSucks stuck with the body of a 7-9 year old boy]].

* As Rosemary Almond prepares to [[spoiler:shoot Adam Susan]] in ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', her mental monologue runs along these lines: "Yes, because my husband gave his life up working for you, and you don't even recognize me. Yes, because I had a life and a husband but you didn't care. Yes, because you played games with our lives, and they didn't matter to you, but they were all that we had. Yes. Yes."
* ''ComicBook/BeastsOfBurden'' when Orphan attacks the frog creature.
* ''Friendly Neighbourhood ComicBook/SpiderMan'', during the "Back in Black" timeframe: [[TookALevelInBadass Betty Brant]] rescues Flash and Peter from [[TheWormThatWalks Arrow]] by repeatedly blasting her with a shotgun. She underlines each shot with one of these, ending with [[ItMakesSenseInContext "And this is for making me afraid of toilets!"]]
* ''ComicBook/HackSlash'': "…and this is for my acorns."

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** In one issue of ''ComicBook/TransformersGeneration2'', after [[spoiler:Red Alert and Mirage]] are killed in battle, the surviving Autobots invoke them as they're kicking Cybertronian butt.
** ''ComicBook/TheTransformersLastStandOfTheWreckers'': The action in Issue 3 is interspersed with quotes from Ironfist's "Unofficial Wreckers' Training Manual" which list six rules that the Wreckers should always follow--each rule is shown with Springer's group doing the complete opposite as they run from the Decepticons. Save for the last rule--that Wreckers don't show weakness and is paired with Twin Twist screaming as he gets violently tortured--which obviously isn't meant to be funny.
--->'''"Fisitron":''' Rule three is simple: Don't make it personal.\\
'''Impactor:''' ''(firing wildly)'' It's payback time! This is for Maximus--and the rest!
* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': [[AlliterativeName Emil Eagle]] once tricked Gyro Gearloose out of his clientele. When said clientele figured out his tricks, they started beating him. One said it was for Gyro. Another one said it was for trying to trick them. And yet another said it was for himself.

* In ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis: Rogue's Revenge'', when the Rogues finally confront Inertia.
-->'''Heat Wave''': This isn't for Kid Flash.\\
'''Weather Wizard''': This isn't for my son.\\
'''Captain Cold''': No. This is for one $%@#$@-up year.\\
''[The Rogues blast Inertia with their weapons, killing him.]''

-->'''Uncle Georges:''' This for my back! This is for the car! And this is for you!
* ''ComicBook/ScribblenautsUnmasked'': Maxwell, Lily and Doppelganger all give one to the Antimonitor in #17:
-->'''Maxwell''': This is for the Phantom Stranger\\
'''Lily''': And for all the people you’ve hurt\\
'''Doppelganger''' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And for trashing my crib]]\\
'''Doppelily''': Oh brother.
* ''Franchise/GIJoe'':
** ''ComicBook/GIJoeDevilsDue'':
*** The 31st issue of ''G.I. Joe: America's Elite'' has Roadblock fire at the Interrogator and state that the shot was given on behalf of Duke's father Max Hauser, who was killed by the Interrogator.
*** The 36th issue of ''America's Elite'' has Storm Shadow kick Scrap-Iron in the face and tell him that it was for killing the Soft Master and others.
** Issue 179 of ''ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroIDW'' has the Baroness, Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander attacking the Blue Ninja leader BN-001 while stating that their attacks are payback for the death of Cobra Commander's son Billy.
* Done with gunshots at the end of ''[[ComicBook/TheAuthority A Man Called Kev]]'' -- not with the usual anger, but with cold-blooded precision as he slowly and brutally kills the man responsible for killing two of his friends, while listing all of his other friends who have died as a result of other people's scheming.
-->'''Kev:''' *Shoots Rashid in the leg* That one's for Tony Morgan.\\
'''Rashid:''' You're out of your mind! No! Stop!\\
'''Kev:''' [=PIRA=] blast bomb got him in Belfast. Fucking wicked what those things do to you. This is for Haggis Higgins. Killed by an incoming mortar round while having a wank -- and thereby hangs a fucking tale, I can tell you. *Shoots Rashid again* And this one's for poor old Nosh Riley. You'd have liked Nosh. He wouldn't've liked you, though.\\
* Another 12 bullets later...*\\
'''Kev:''' This one's for Bob. Your biggest mistake, just in case you were wondering. *Blows off Rashid's jaw* And all that leaves is Danny. *Taking careful aim* You know... half the shit you think you believe... it's just the bollocks they knock into you over the years. The stuff that life grinds into you. I think that's what Danny was trying to tell me, the night he fucked off with his tiger. I was too thick to get it -- which is a shame, 'cause I might not have been such a twat to him over the last couple of days. But anyway, [[BoomHeadshot this one's for him]].
* The Creator/DCComics CrisisCrossover ''Bloodlines'' 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]].
* In the ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'' storyline "The Hunt for Extant", Atom-Smasher pummels the titular time traveling villain while calling out the names of the Society members he killed during ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime''.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1983/11/15 clobbered Odie]] and said "That's for not being a cat." [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1983/11/16 Later on]], Garfield realized it was wrong on his part to Clobber Odie for not being a cat since it wasn't Odie's choice. Garfield then kicked Odie. "This is for being a dog."
* Hilarious non-violent example happens in a ''ComicStrip/{{Mafalda}}'' strip. Mafalda is a girl who ''hates'' soup with a reverence (to the point that she uses it as a curse). The following exchange happens:

'''Mafalda''' (thinking): This one for giving arguments to the enemy. ''[gulp]'' This one for not knowing what to answer. ''[gulp]'' This one for…

-->'''Rei''': That […] was for Shinji.

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Blue Moon, [[OhCrap Slim Chance…]]

** After discovering that [[spoiler: her new CastingAShadow powers]] let her harm Tarakudo ''sans'' [[WeaksauceWeakness onion]], Jade proceeds to pummel him interspersed with this trope, listing [[spoiler: brainwashing her]], trying to kill her friends and family… [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and being annoying]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'' has a slight variation when Rocky the rooster returns to the chickens after leaving. Ginger first slaps him, saying "That was for leaving," then follows up by going to AlmostKiss him, finishing, [[SlapSlapKiss "And this is for coming back…"]]

-->'''Anya:''' This is for Dimitri! ''[stamp]'' This is for my family! ''[stamps]'' And this… this is for you! Dosvidaniya! ''[final stamp]''

-->'''Patchi''': That one's for my brother! And that one's for my dad! And this one… ''[Knocks one of Gorgon's teeth out]'' …that's so you'll remember me!

''[Punches Les]'' That's for… being really weird!\\
''[Punches Les' [[Film/AmericanBeauty plastic bag]]]'' …I'm not sure what that was for.

'''Vito:''' My father's name was Antonio Andolini… and this is for you! ''[stabs him]''

--->'''Forrest''': I'd shoot you, but I don't wanna dirty my bullets…\\

-->'''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]''

-->'''Riddick:''' We can't leave… ''({{beat}})'' without saying good night…

''[…and so on until…]''\\

-->[[spoiler:'''Crash [=McLarson=]:''' This is for [=SuperMagic PowerMan=]! ''[stomp]'' …and this is for Lanolin Lady! ''[stomp]'' …and '''this''' is for '''THE CHILDREN!!!''' ''[stomp]'']]

-->''[kiss]'' [[KissKissSlap That was for coming back…]] ''[punch]'' [[KissKissSlap And that was for leaving.]]

* ''Series/MrBean'': Bean is watching television, and although we can't see what's on we can hear machine-gun fire and someone shouting between bursts: "This is for my brother… this is for my sister… this is for my father… (etc)" Bean turns it off in disgust.

** In a Season 8 episode, a recurring character pulls a revolver on the [[MonsterOfTheWeek villain of the week]]. She starts listing his victims ("This is for…") and punctuates each one with a trigger pull. Turns out, the gun is unloaded. She just wanted to see his terrified flinches.

* In the ''Series/{{Taxi}}'' episode "Guess Who's Coming for Brefnish?", FunnyForeigner Latka meets Simka, a woman from the same country as him; when he tries to break the ice by telling jokes about the "Mountain People" (a clan to which she belongs, unbeknownst to him), she responds by slapping him repeatedly for her mother, father, grandfather, etc. (Latka: "I hope you have a small family…")

* Memorably parodied in ''Series/TheYoungOnes''. This week's member of the Balowski Family is a police commissioner who just happens to closely resemble Mussolini, and has done since he was very young. Cue his sad tale of how his potential date headbutted him at the school disco… "I said, ‘What's ''that'' for?’ …''she'' said, ‘''That'''s for the invasion of Crete!’"

This is for me…''

** In ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando'', [[DeadpanSnarker Scorch]], after shooting a group of droids, says, "And that was for Delta 23! …or was that 32?"

* In ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' #303, Lothar Hex, PsychoForHire, tests out his new robotic limbs… on his teammates. Panel by panel, it goes…

-->'''Linus:''' This one is for love! And this one is for valentines! This one is for romance! This one is for [[Literature/SonnetsFromThePortuguese Elizabeth Barrett Browning]]! This is for "How do I love thee!" This is for…

-->'''Negaduck''': Oh, almost forgot… This is for MEGAVOLT! ''[jump]'' BUSHROOT! ''[jump]'' LIQUIDATOR! ''[jump]'' QUACKERJACK! ''[jump]'' And NEGADUCK… ''[jump]'' makes five: '''The Fearsome Five!!'''

--->"This one's for you, Kaiser Bill. Special delivery from Uncle Sam and all the boys in D company. Yeah… Johnny, Harris, Brooklyn Bob. And Reggie. Yeah, even Reggie. He ain't so stuck up once you get to know hi--" ''[KABOOM!]''

-->'''Marcus:''' That's for [[spoiler:Horatio]], bitch.

* The PlayerCharacter in ''VideoGame/Postal2'' often shouts "And one for…" after killing someone.

** Price in "Return to Sender", after [[spoiler:interrogating Warrabe]].
--->'''Price:''' Right, then. ''[tosses Warrabe a gas mask]'' This is for [[spoiler:the boys at Hereford]]. ''[shoots Warrabe in the head]''

* A much nicer version appears in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'':

** Parodied in the ''Mad'' Magazine spoof, where Indy is beating up the truck full of German soldiers:
--->'''Indy:''' And this is for sinking the Titanic!\\
'''Soldier:''' Wait! That was an iceberg!\\
'''Indy:''' Maybe, but who are people going to believe? A Nazi or an American history professor?

* Present Mic delivers one to Garaki with his D.J. Punch in ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia''
**

** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': Despite Enya's hatred towards them and her son being a monster, Jotaro make it clear that they're disgusted over [[AlasPoorVillain her death at Steely Dan's hand]], given how cruel it was and that she died at the hands of the man she refused to betray.

* In ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': [[TheLancer Hermès]]' revenge against her sister's murderer goes into this.

-->'''Harry:''' ''Take that you vile monster! And that! I'll teach you to mess with Harry Kitty Potter! This is for tricking me! And this is for giving me to bloody Malfoy, and THIS is for the BOW!

* In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', Astrid does this to Hiccup [[RuleOfThree three times]]. All of them begin with her punching him ("That's for (something bad)!"), but while the first one had more punches as a follow-up, the second and third [[SlapSlapKiss end with a kiss]] ( the second one on the cheek, then quickly on the mouth, and the third one with a slow kiss on the mouth).

* In ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'', [[GenreBlind Takanuva makes the mistake]] of [[TalkingIsAFreeAction trying to do this before he starts attacking Tuyet]]:
-->'''Takanuva''': For Takua, for Lesovikk, and for all the Toa and Matoran whose lives you have ruined, I strike. ''[Gets blasted through the wall.]''

-->'''Macratty''': This one's for {{Mook Tumbler}}. ''[hits Jack]'' This one's for Bullock--\\

-->''For my mother. (slices one arm off) For my father. (slices off the other arm) For all those that you've slain. (cuts it across the chest) For myself. (cuts off its head)''

* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 3'': While every game has a similar scene, this game is where it follows the trope. When his buddy Yan Liang was killed, Wen Chou charges at the killer, Guan Yu, dedicating that this killing strike will be for his fallen friend. Props for trying, even with all the {{Narm}}y delivery.

* A sniper in the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty 2'' Soviet campaign invokes this by saying "This one's for my [family member] " as he is shooting Nazis, and goes through his family, before ending with "and this one's for my dog!

-->'''Lilarcor:''' …and this one's for grandma, who said I'd never amount to anything more than a butter knife!

* ''VideoGame/{{Deadpool}}'' has way too much fun with this trope when the player is given the option to "bitch-slap" Wolverine.

* Done right at the end of ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar3'' [[spoiler:As Marcus stabs the Queen with Dom's knife growling; "Feel that? That's from Dom, and everybody else you killed, you bitch!"]]
** A less personal one is the COG rallying call "For the Fallen" in multilayer.
* ''VideoGame/GladiatorSwordOfVengeance'' has the main villain, Arruntius, valiantly demanding you to back down in his final cutscene, by claiming [[AGodAmI he's a god]]. You then execute him while dedicating your kill to the gods.
--> "This is for the gods." ''[[[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks hurls sword into Arruntius' chest]]]''
* Only discussed by Morgan in ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan'', while [[TalkingInYourSleep talking in her sleep]]: "THIS is for JUGBENDER!"
** Before that, in Chapter 1, Guybrush raises his Cutlass of Kaflu and says, "This is for the monkeys, [=LeChuck=]!" before [[spoiler:his Pox-infected hand goes out of control, making him unable to kill the human [=LeChuck=]]].

* In ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'', if you keep shooting at the BigBad's greenhouse during the endgame--instead of taking [[PuzzleBoss the sneaky route]]--Manny eventually starts to say this. The last victim he names, however, died under circumstances completely unrelated to the central plot and the villains' plans (this prompts the BigBad to ask who he is talking about). Subverted earlier in the game when Manny punches [[AmoralAttorney Nick Virago]] in the face; Nick asks if it's for the camera girl he sprouted, but Manny replies that it was just for Nick being Nick.

-->'''Loghain''': Good, there's some of [[spoiler:Maric]] in you after all.\\
'''Alistair''': Forget [[spoiler:Maric]], this is for Duncan! ''[decapitates Loghain]''

-->'''Sheva''': That was for our fallen brothers.

--> [[spoiler:'''Springtrap:''']] This is where you eat my shit\\

-->For the highest bidder!
* In ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagicV'', this happens when Markal is confronted by the heroes. Two of them play it straight, but the third subverts it by pointing out that Markal's done so many terrible things that he doesn't need to point out any specific atrocity.
-->'''Godric:''' Vile scum! For the abuse you have inflicted upon Isabel and the Griffin Empire!
-->'''Findan:''' For the butchery you committed in Irollan!
-->'''Zehir:''' For just about everything you have ever done anywhere!
-->'''Findan:''' That should cover it.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'s'' Volume 4 finale, Lie Ren, facing the Grimm that [[DoomedHometown killed his family and destroyed his home]], calmly faces the monster once it is immobilized and begins listing off all the people it killed while chopping off its limbs and head with his father's knife.

'''Bart''': What about all the times he tried to kill ''me?!''\\
'''Homer''': ''[unsure]'' Eh…

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan,'' Spider-Man is seething over the fact that he was forced to publicly defend a VillainWithGoodPublicity from an attack by {{Supervillain}} the Green Goblin. In battle, he delivers a particularly violent kick to Green Goblin's face, adding "''That's'' for [[SaveTheVillain making me protect]] Tombstone!"
** The debut of the 1967 Spider-Man series has Spidey confronting the thug that murdered Uncle Ben. He intones "This is for the man you killed!" before socking the thug to kingdom come.
