* ''[[WebVideo/LifeSMP Last Life SMP]]'': On Day 7, Martyn became the Boogeyman[[note]](a randomly assigned role who [[{{Geas}} needs to kill a player with more than one life left before the end of the session]], or lose all but one of their lives)[[/note]] after Pearl, the original Boogeyman, left the day early due to a power outage. Martyn attempted to kill his only ally Grian, but unbeknownst to either of them, Joel was watching from the shadows and was able to shoot Grian once before he killed himself with Ender Pearl damage. This caused the game to credit Joel with the kill, leaving Martyn friendless and still needing to kill someone.

** Mortarion grew up as the protege of an alien overlord who ruled a world of tall mountains wrapped in poisonous fumes, while a population of humans lived in the valleys below and were treated as prey. Mortarion eventually turned on his adoptive father and led the humans in reprisals against the aliens on the heights, until only one fortress remained on the highest peak, wrapped in the thickest fumes, belonging to his hated foster father. At this point [[GodEmperor the Emperor of Mankind]] reached the planet to reclaim Mortarion as a Primarch, but Mortarion refused his offer of aid and stubbornly went after the last alien fortress, only to succumb to the poison. The last thing he saw before passing out was the Emperor effortlessly slaying the alien tyrant. The lingering anger over being denied the pleasure of ending his adoptive father and greatest personal nemesis festered until it drove Mortarion to Chaos.

* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'': [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Micheal Myers]] pulls this on [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]. [[spoiler:That alongside trying to kill Jason only [[MuggingTheMonster resulted in him dying to Jason]].]]

* Subverted in ''{{Manga/Berserk}}''. At first glance it looks like the Skull Knight's appearance during the final battle with Ganishka qualifies, but the dialogue reveals that his stroke was actually meant to hit ''Femto'', who was about to fight Ganishka. It's debatable whether Femto actually planned this.

* In ''VideoGame/StarFox'', Fox's wingmen will complain if he shoots down an enemy they were taking care of.

--> '''Sokka:''' Hey he was mine!
--> '''Jet:''' Gotta be quicker next time!
* ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'' has a scene where [[SupermanSubstitute Omni-Man]] chases [[AlienInvasion the Flaxans]] off of Earth and takes the fight to their homeworld. [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Before he starts killing them all]], he delivers the line "you don't understand, [[BadassBoast Earth isn't yours to conquer]]." The true meaning of this line only becomes clear after TheReveal in the season one finale, [[spoiler:where Omni-Man is himself revealed to be out to conquer Earth for the glory of the Viltrumite Empire. Omni-Man wasn't trying to save Earth from the Flaxans, he was angry that they tried to steal his conquest.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Primal 2019}}'': in the second episode, Spear and Fang pursue some wild boar for dinner, but every time Spear makes a kill Fang steps in and devours it before he can get a piece. At first it's PlayedForLaughs, but as the kill steals continue Spear gets angrier and angrier until the two almost break their partnership over it.

* ''''VideoGame/WarThunder'':

** Mortarian grew up as the protege of an alien overlord who ruled a world of tall mountains wrapped in poisonous fumes, while a population of humans lived in the valleys below and were treated as prey. Mortarian eventually turned on his adoptive father and led the humans in reprisals against the aliens on the heights, until only one fortress remained on the highest peak, wrapped in the thickest fumes.

* In ''FanFic/OffTheLine'', PlayerKilling is [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment punished]] with infamy, a status buff that decreases EXP and loot. Treasure Princess and Red XIII attack players but have Rainstorm finish them off so they don't gain infamy.

* ''[[LetsPlay/LifeSMP Last Life SMP]]'': On Day 7, Martyn became the Boogeyman after Pearl, the original Boogeyman, left the day early due to a power outage. Martyn attempted to kill his only ally Grian, but unbeknownst to either of them, Joel was watching from the shadows and was able to shoot Grian once before he killed himself with Ender Pearl damage. This caused the game to credit Joel with the kill, leaving Martyn friendless and still needing to kill someone.

* This happens in ''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'' when [[spoiler:Optimus Prime was about to kill a downed Battletrap... then Optimus Primal kills the Terrorcon [[HoistByHisOwnPetard off with his own mace]].]]
