He also doesn't seem to care about anyone affected by this and only about the end result.

Some of his kills are needlessly nasty as well (eg. said girlfriend was forced by the Death Note to ''set herself on fire''), and on several occasions, he takes a moment to watch his victims die; for example, when he writes Naomi Misora's name in the Death Note, he reveals himself as Kira to her just because he wanted to see the look on her face before she died. And of course, like many sadists, he absolutely believes that [[NeverMyFault his victims had it coming, and that he himself is blameless]].

She describes watching the Grimm slaughtering Vale citizens as "wonderful", and when she stole the first half of Amber's power, she drew out the pain of Amber's last conscious moments with needless theatrics that gave Amber the chance to see what was going to happen to her and beg for life in horror. When she kills Pyrrha, she doesn't simply shoot her through the heart, her arrow also burns Pyrrha from the inside out -- while Pyrrha is still alive. After Ruby disfigures her, she motivates herself to grow stronger by burning alive illusions of a begging Ruby that are created by Emerald.

** The elaborate illusions it crafts against Marcy and Olivia contain details that serve no purpose beyond mocking them for how badly they feel they've failed at protecting what matters most to them. Olivia's mother turns into a machine-newt hybrid monster belching factory smoke, whose lower half is comprised of polluted earth and ''strewn'' with Amphibian bones, symbolizing how the environmental devastation will kill not only the creatures of Amphibia but the people as well, something that clearly upsets her. The two-headed Anne/Sasha fusion that mocks Marcy for selfishly betraying them and claims her friends want nothing to do with her anymore has [[FreezeFrameBonus the St James emblem on their chest turn into a heart]] as they do so, symbolizing how much Marcy loves her friendship with the duo and how awful she feels for metaphorically breaking their hearts with her DarkSecret. And, while it's not necessary for its plans for Marcy, it has Andrias outline ''exactly'' what's about to happen to her before it begins the conversion process, and keeps itself hidden inside the room for the entirety of Olivia and Yunan's attempted rescue apparently out of [[HopeSpot amusement at their futile efforts]], when it could have physically interfered at any point.
** When Andrias suffers a VillainousBreakdown and throws a [[PsychopathicManchild childish tantrum]] over failing to kill Anne again, Darcy mocks him for his 'unkingly' conduct, calling his reaction 'pathetic'. This is despite his emotional outburst being born from the [[PsychopathicManchild same negative traits]] the Core itself explicitly encouraged in Andrias over the course of 1,000 years in order to make him a [[BlindObedience more compliant servant]] to it, essentially mocking him for not acting more mature when ''it itself'' encouraged his emotional immaturity as a means of controlling him. The fact that one of the Core's collective minds is Aldrich, Andrias' father and the one he explicitly seeks to impress through the Core, gives another cruel twist to it expressing contempt for him not acting like a proper king would.
** When Darcy sees Andrias shooting a pained glance at the portrait of him, Leif, and Barrel together in his childhood, it snidely mocks him that it's not the only one that needs to let go of old memories, explicitly {{Gaslighting}} him for his still-painful regret over the implosion of his childhood friendships and how it's still distracting him from his duties as the Core's loyal servant. Darcy's smug grin explicitly shows it knows this hurts Andrias and that it takes amusement in his emotional turmoil, aware that he's too devoted to it now to do anything but loyally serve it, and [[VirtueIsWeakness finds twisted fun]] in how he's still hurting after all those years. When Andrias [[LetThePastBurn burns the portrait]] to help re-commit himself towards serving the Core, it adopts a smug SlasherSmile and briefly lets Aldrich's personality surface from the collective in order to tell Andrias how he's ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise almost]]'' proud of him for doing so, explicitly withholding the approval for his actions that [[WellDoneSonGuy Andrias so craves]] from the Core even as he acts in line with its wishes.
** While it admits that inhabiting Marcy's body caused the Core to start [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody exhibiting some of her quirks and mannerisms]], it's implied that it's also deliberately emulating Marcy at times to mock Andrias for his [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone suppressed guilt]] over making her into the Core's vessel, at one point making it clear to him that Marcy's still around, but [[AndIMustScream trapped inside her own mind]] because of what he did.
** In "The Beginning of the End", when Darcy reveals themself before Anne and Sasha, they mock both the girls' failure to stop it as well as their claims that they're still friends with Marcy despite her stranding them in Amphibia, pointing out that from browsing Marcy's memories, it can tell they weren't the most supportive friends to her back on Earth, even though neither was actively malicious towards her, pointing out that they ignored or overlooked Marcy's needs and interests and treated her as 'the friend that was just there', which fuelled her poorly thought-out decision to use the Calamity Box. Having more or less already won at that point, it has no logical reason to taunt the girls with their past failings beyond its sadistic pleasure at their regret. It even specifically taunts Anne's intelligence, calling her 'dumber than a bag of rocks' because Anne previously admitted to Marcy her insecurities with being 'the dumb one' of their trio and it wanted to rub that in her face. It clearly relishes [[HopeCrusher broadcasting the strike team's failure]] to disperse the resistance, and when they decide to kill Anne to retrieve the Calamity Gem energy powering her, they're clearly enjoying the chance to gut her with a laser knife. They even allow Anne the opportunity for AnyLastWords before they start cutting into her, clearly not intending to honour any pleas for mercy, doing it just to enjoy the moment more, and while Anne manages to successfully reason that they [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou can't afford to kill her just yet]], they're displeased that they've been forced to delay her demise and make it clear that they ''will'' finish the job later.

During season 5, the BigBad Prometheus spends several days torturing Oliver, with the hopes that Oliver would reveal his "secret." Eventually, Oliver is so exhausted that he eventually cracks and claims that he only ever killed because he liked it and wanted to, seemingly confirming that he is a sadist. However, things get more complicated in the following episodes, as Oliver only admitted to such under immense psychological pressure. Meaning he might not enjoy killing people, but was rather pressured into believing it.]]

* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'': Out of everyone in the franchise, the only clear-cut example is [[spoiler:[[BigBad Monokuma/Junko]], who willingly takes a visible joy in spreading despair to satiate a personal fetish [[TheUnfettered by any means necessary, showing no signs of ethical restraint whatsoever]], and constantly laughs at everyone's misery during the killing games, while showing a complete LackOfEmpathy. It's notable that Junko's personality is also one of choice. In ''Killing Harmony'', Kokichi depicts himself as a sadist, but it's later implied that it's an act for the game's mastermind, Tsumugi. And while Tsumugi is also the mastermind in question, she is not in control of the killing game and how long it's run for, as Team Danganronpa and the audience are responsible for that. Team Danganronpa are invisible to the audience, making their reactions unseen, and the audience takes pleasure in the entertainment of the killing game, not the pain the characters suffer through. Overall, Junko is still the only clear-cut sadist, without anything to make her role as one ambiguous. Monaca also counts due to also [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy]], however, she is a lesser example, as Junko is the overall cause of everyone's pain, even with Monaca serving as her primary assistant.]]

[[spoiler:Fusion Zamasu]] succeeds in killing all known life in the universe except for the remaining saiyans, Mai and the past kais for the purpose of laughing at them, instead expending his energy expanding into the past timeline, making Beerus wonder if he'll have to get involved.
