* In ''Anime/BloodPlus'' this is Saya's reaction [[spoiler: to remembering that it was ''her'' who set loose [[BigBad Diva]].]] This is one of the major reasons Saya is [[TheOnlyPersonAllowedToDefeatYou the only person allowed to kill Diva]], along with the fact she's the only one who has Diva's Kryptonite.

* In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qj8PhxSnhg one]] of the MuppetViralVideos, two pumpkins unwittingly goad the Swedish Chef into using a bazooka on them.

** The ''Everything but the Rain'' flashback arc reveals that when Masaki made the decision to save Isshin's life, her own life was nearly lost in the process, causing Isshin to have to sacrifice his shinigami powers to save her. The event not only completely ruined Ryuuken Ishida's quincy future but left him feeling like everything that had happened was entirely his fault [[spoiler: Although he warned Masaki she was breaking Quincy law, he didn't physically try to stop or her interfere in her fight because her trusted her and her power. He regretted his decision bitterly.]]

* At the very start of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', [[TheHero Ichigo's]] family is attacked by a hollow and they are all badly injured ''except'' him, since he was talking to/being restrained by Rukia when the hollow first attacked. He is horrified to see his little sisters bleeding out but is at a loss to understand why the hollow didn't devour their souls, since Rukia told him that [[ItsWhatIDo this is what hollows]] ''[[ItsWhatIDo do]]''. When she explains that the hollow is here because it is attracted to ''him'' and it is ignoring the others' souls in favor of his, Ichigo instantly blames himself for the situation and starts [[TakeMeInstead shouting at the hollow to come after him]].

* ''SoukouNoStrain'', [[spoiler:when Lavinia indirectly causes Carrisford's death and the revelation of Sara's identity. Maybe next time she shouldn't grab an [[{{Fanservice}} episode]] all to herself.]]

* In ''TeenWolf'', there's a very good reason Derek Hale is the way he is.

* The U.S. ''Film/{{Godzilla}}'' movie.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Peggy blames herself for the problems of Hank's co-worker, uttering the "It's all my fault." Hank tries and fails to re-assure her. "No it's not...OK, it is."

** Yet another ''Simpsons'' example; after Homer refuses to pull over and let Grandpa go to the bathroom, Grandpa's kidneys burst. Homer's response? "I blame myself!" Marge's response? "We ''all'' blame you."

* In ''MagicalDiary'', during Damien's path, the player character blames herself for the injuries Damien caused her. Virginia is quick to dismiss this, but it doesn't comfort the PC much.
--> '''Virginia:''' Don't say that! It is ''not'' your fault, it's his! ''No one'' saw this coming! He's dated lots of girls and broken all their hearts, you're not the first!
--> '''Mary Sue:''' No, I'm just the only one stupid enough to [[spoiler: agree to give him my soul]].

* She didn't ''speak it out'', but this is how Haruka of ''Manga/{{Kotoura-san}} thinks about [[spoiler:the events in the latter half of episode 3, when Hiyori sent dojo members/cult thugs to attack Manabe, causing Manabe to be hospitalized and Hiyori having a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.]] This line of thinking, however, came from all the BreakTheCutie [[BlessedWithSuck that came from]] her {{telepath|y}}ic powers, eventually causing her to think she will eventually cause the downfall of anyone she cares about.

* In ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Justice For All'', Regina Berry says this when [[spoiler: she realizes she was responsible for the accident that sent Bat into a coma, and thus partly responsible for Acro killing Regina's father in an attempt to get revenge on her.]]

* In ''Phoenix Wright AceAttorneyJusticeForAll'', Regina Berry says this when [[spoiler: she realizes she was responsible for the accident that sent Bat into a coma, and thus partly responsible for Acro killing Regina's father in an attempt to get revenge on her.]]

[[folder:Film]]

* In {{Brave}}, finally admitting their own role in everything that went wrong is an essential bit of CharacterDevelopment for both Merida and her mother.
** In a more Meta example, {{Pixar}} blame themselves for making AllCGICartoon movies the norm rather than the exception and forcing traditional animated films out the mainstream.

* In {{Teen Wolf}}, there's a very good reason Derek Hale is the way he is.

* In ''Phoenix Wright AceAttorney: Justice For All'', Regina Berry says this when [[spoiler: she realizes she was responsible for the accident that sent Bat into a coma, and thus partly responsible for Acro killing Regina's father in an attempt to get revenge on her.]]
** Quercus Alba from ''AceAttorneyInvestigations'' does this a lot. [[spoiler: It's to prop up his facade of being a frail old man, when in reality he's the BigBad.]]
** Miles Edgeworth falls into this for about half a case during the finale of the first game (not counting the Bonus Case), until Phoenix manages to snap him out of it. With Evidence.

** Also from ''The Simpsons'', Marge says that Homer getting thrown into a U.K. jail is "partially my fault" in the episode "The Regina Monologues". This was also done in an earlier episode ("Bart the Lover"), where Bart said "I can't help but feel partly responsible." when he was entirely responsible for Mrs Krabapple's hurt feelings.
** Another one from ''The Simpsons'': When Maude Flanders gets KilledOffForReal after being hit by cannon-launched T-shirts while getting hot dogs, Ned worries it's all his fault, for not getting them himself.

* This is essentially the plot point of ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.
* This is most of the plot of Disney's ''[[Disney/TheLionKing The Lion King]]''.
* ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' does this on occasion, in both the series and films. In the first film, Jasmine says "It's all my fault" after Aladdin is taken captive. It's actually Jafar's fault, since he'd have needed Aladdin and had the guards capture him whether Jasmine got involved or not. Then Aladdin says it after Jafar steals the lamp and takes over Agrabah, which partly IS Aladdin's fault for not setting Genie free.
** This instance from "The Spice is Right" is probably the best example:
-->'''Aladdin''': I'm gonna lose her, Genie, and it's all my fault!
-->'''Genie''': You're right, kid. All your fault.
-->'''Aladdin''': Huh?
-->'''Genie''': [[ReversePsychology You know, the situation: Mingle with zombies, pay the price. You have every right to feel like a creep... creep!]]
-->'''Aladdin''': Now, wait a minute here! How was ''I'' supposed to know giving Jasmine a gift was going to unleash that guy?!
* From ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', Belle says this after she's comforting the dying Beast.

* In the BatmanBeyond episode "Curse of the Cobra" after Zander kidnaps Max.

* Used [[NightmareFuel terrifyingly]] in ''SoulEater'' with Dr. Stein. After the battle to reclaim the Brew [[spoiler:fails because Stein is overtaken by insanity and becomes unable to fight, he says this line to try to comfort Marie. The scary part kicks in when he then repeats it amid peals of [[LaughingMad mad laughter]].]]

* [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji's]] mindset in the A/S fic ''Scar Tissue''. He goes so far as to carve "my fault" into his skin... [[spoiler: after the first time he was [[RapeAsDrama raped]] by [[JerkassWoobie Asuka]].]]

* In ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'', Shinji decides that everything is his fault, and thus that everyone would be better off without him. Unfortunately he doesn't recover from his HeroicBSOD, with disastrous results; namely: his inaction, apathy, and {{wangst}} ensure that everything that happens in the movie actually ''becomes'' his fault.

* All over the place in ''PrincessTutu'' (Fakir blaming himself for not protecting Mytho, Rue's breakdown after Mytho's [[spoiler: transformation into a crow]]), but the titular character has the most, which is to be expected when the main character is constantly trying to make everyone around her happy. The first major instance is when she [[spoiler: overhears Mytho saying he's terrified of her after she returns his feeling of fear and realizes she might have been hurting him all along]], and later on, near the end of the series, [[spoiler: she tries to drown herself in the Lake of Despair because she believes her inability to remove the pendant has doomed the town and everyone she loves]].

** Averted in the episode "The Desert" when Sandbenders steal Appa. Aang blames Toph for saving him, Katara and Sokka instead of Appa.
