* In ''Manga/{{Inuyashiki}}'', BigBad & SerialKiller Hiro Shishigami is a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] {{Otaku}} who feels a strong attachment to fictional characters and talks casually about them even as he's committing horrible atrocities, and while he knows what he's doing is legally wrong, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood he doesn't truly understand why]]. When choosing houses to enter, he spins around like a child playing a game before pointing at one and saying "You're it". His one redeeming quality is that he's a MommasBoy [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes with his parents, girlfriend, and singular friend being the only people in the world]] safe from his wrath.

* At his core, Licht from ''Manga/BlackClover'' is this, taking a childlike glee in revealing to his human subordinates that he never did care about them and taking out his anger over the elves' massacre on humans who were not even responsible for an event that happened five centuries ago. This is seen when Asta mentally speaks with him after he becomes a dark elf, during which he takes his form as a child before the massacre, showing that he never truly matured after this event.

** Vanica Zogratis' childlike desire to fight makes her this. When fighting Noelle she treats it like a game of tag, telling her "here I come". She impatiently keeps on increasing the percentage of Megicula's power she's using when she's not even having trouble, [[spoiler:causing her to fall for Lolopechka's plan, who expected her to use all her devil's power and have Nero seal her then.]]

** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'': Despite being a GadgeteerGenius, ManipulativeBastard, and [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]], [[spoiler: [=AxeKnightmon=] falls under this. Ironically enough, when he first swayed Ewan Amano to his side, he tricked Ewan into thinking that the Digital World was simply a game. Despite knowing it to be otherwise, [=AxeKnightmon=] treated the war for the Digital World like a game. He treated all those who surrounded him like toys, demonstrating a sadistic streak along the way. And the final goal of all his efforts? Simply to ''surpass his big brother,'' Lord Bagra, in power. He’s essentially a SpoiledBrat willing to do anything and everything to one-up his big brother, and outright admits that he’s DrivenByEnvy. Tellingly, Bagra himself calls him out on this, claiming that his short-sighted attitude was his greatest weakness.]]

misuse: Mcqueen from Stone Ocean doesn't necessarily count as an example since while he is selfish and entitled, his mood swings is less indicative of immaturity and more of some underlying psychosis (compounded by how violently suicidal he is). Moreover, His more loathsome qualities isn't portrayed with any indication to childishness compared to Gwess, only pathetic-ness.


** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean'':
*** Jolyne's cellmate [[StarterVillain Gwess]]. Upon first meeting her she attempts to [[MoodSwinger brain Jolyne with a chair in a fit of rage]] after she mistakenly attempts to use her bunk before doing a full 180 and acting friendly, and treats her [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrunken victims]] like [[LivingDollCollector a girl playing with stuffed animals]], having them do cutesy animal sounds in the "costumes" she makes for them. She also [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness has them killed when they stop being of interest to her]]. Her ability is [[PersonalityPowers explained as a manifestation of her desire]] to [[FriendlessBackground make friends]] [[ControlFreak but have power over them]]. She's so hopelessly insane that Jolyne breaks the longstanding DefeatMeansFriendship tradition and keeps her at arm's length.
*** Thunder [=McQueen=] was a MoodSwinger with a LackOfEmpathy, easily brought to tears of despair or joy at the slightest provocation. His EstablishingCharacterMoment was stealing money from Ermes and the other infirmary patients at the prison, and his boss [[BigBad Pucci]] states that while he holds no malice towards others, his childish EntitledBastard attitude and selfish HisOwnWorstEnemy behavior that drags down those around him makes him "the purest form of evil".

* Naoka Ueno in ''Anime/ASilentVoice''. Even though she is 18 years old, it's clear she retains her childish mindset from grade school. She ridicules and humiliates Shouko, throws temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way, doesn't take responsibility for her actions, and refuses to move on from her past friendship break up. She finally overcomes this by the end of the manga, though [[AdaptationalJerkass not so much in the film version.]]

*** [[BigBad Father himself]]. Not immediately obvious as Gluttony due to Father for the majority of his screen time as a stoic and foreboding older looking man but deep down he's this. When Hohenheim describes to Ed that his attempts to burn their home were akin to a child's hiding the mess they made, it is strongly implied that he's referring to Father's hiding the existence of Xerxes when he makes the comparison. When forced to remove his pseudo-Hohenheim skin, Father acts in a sadistic and childish manner until he absorbs God, resuming his trademark stoicism, implying he only acts stoic as a means to act in a manner of what he sees an adult as. His rebellious attitude towards Hohenheim and Truth plays into a child trying prove he's superior to his father, both in literal and a a [[SatanicArchetype biblical devil aspect]]. When he finally gets taken back to the Gate, Father whines like a brat begging not to be punished. It is very telling of his Gate of Truth being blank that truly speaks of his lack of maturity.

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Before the Eclipse, many characters comment that Griffith has an almost childlike innocence about him (though since he would sometimes display this at inappropriate times, certain people would find it creepy rather than endearing). Indeed, one could interpret his dream of obtaining his own kingdom as a boyish fantasy he never did quite let go, and has hissy fits whenever things don't go his way (as him sacrificing his own comrades and then raping Casca during the Eclipse can perfectly show). Once he becomes [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Femto]], he still tries to pursue this fantasy, but in a much more ruthless and remorseless way. And to drive the whole point home, there's the fact that, as the series' ArtEvolution progresses, he's drawn to look increasingly more cherubic and childlike despite being at least 2 or 3 years old than Guts is, showing how Griffith hasn't bothered whatsoever to move past his infancy.
