None
Added DiffLines:
* Sakura (a boy, mind you), the main character of ''LightNovel/{{Bludgeoning Angel Dokurochan}}'', is a particularly good example. He gets killed and revived several times per episodes in the most brutally over-the-top ways possible.
** At least he isn't the only one to suffer: The angel Sabato, who's introduced in the second episode, has to suffer a lot of misery and hardships after she fails to kill Sakura.
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Ship Lee-Soo and Parakewl. One because his reactions are just to funny and the other because he just has it coming.
* Mikuru from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' eventually ends up being God's [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haruhi2.jpg literal chew toy]]... and God is a mix of GenkiGirl with {{Jerkass}} (and in the beginning, much more the latter than the former). In the opening, she cries as Haruhi forces her to be a cheerleader. She can go either way in TheWoobie Vs. TheChewToy debate, depending on how sadistic the viewer is feeling at any given time, or how serious Haruhi's abuse of the moment is.
** The computer club president is a much straighter example of this trope.
* Kon from ''{{Manga/Bleach}}''. He is the right size for it and constantly fails to be cool. He's is ''literally'' a chew toy (or a doll), anyway.
* ''Manga/JunjouRomantica'': Takahashi Misaki, who is the love (and jealousy) interest for an entire clan.
* The titular ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''. [[MadeofIron He can take it.]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower He trains.]]
* Jaken, Sesshomaru's impish retainer, on ''Manga/InuYasha'' is forever being abused by his "Master". (Drowned, stepped on, headbonked, etc. Although he's actually fairly good at defending himself from others who mean him harm.) Myoga, the titular character's flea-demon advisor, fulfills this trope as well (for Inuyasha), but once in a while, Shippo may get thrown (literally!) into the role.
** Sesshomaru's abuse of Jaken in his early appearances was threatening to kill him; it was other characters that beat up Jaken. But as Sesshomaru become less of a villain and started to care about Jaken after a fashion, his abuse of Jaken started to descend into slapstick beatings and verbal abuse.
* Keitaro in ''Manga/LoveHina''. He moved in to the place of his childhood, only to find it to be turned into a [[UnwantedHarem girls-only pension]]. When he is accepted as a legitimate resident [[ItMakesSenseInContext (it's a long story)]] he is then forced to work like a slave for roommates who constantly beat him up for his [[AccidentalPervert bad luck]], when they're not doing it ''for fun''. It gets better, but [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale for some reason]], [[KarmaHoudini none of the girls ever get any retribution]] [[AwesomeMoments except one]].
* In ''{{Manga/xxxHOLiC}}'', one Watanuki Kimihiro never seems to get a break. He's antagonized by monsters [[InvisibleToNormals normal people can't see]], degraded and belittled by his employer, constantly having to be rescued by his "rival" and to top it all off, he never gets the girl.
** It's later either {{justified|Trope}} or made worse, depending on perspective, when it is [[TheReveal revealed]] that ''he is literally [[spoiler:not supposed to exist]]'', and he knows it. Those invisible horrors stalking him? They're only doing it due to his supernatural nature combined with ''[[spoiler:subconscious suicidal desires]]''.
* Lancer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' may have been a credible threat in the original work, but subsequent sequels and fan works often portray him as largely useless, particularly whenever Archer is around. In the recent ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' series, he's killed off more or less OncePerEpisode, and his 'guest appearance' on the (fake) preview for Arcueid's magical girl show has his silhouette dramatically show up... before instantly being hit by a car. Assassin has been entirely replaced with a cardboard cutout.
* Mesousa from ''Anime/PaniPoniDash''. Not an episode goes by without the universe inflicting some form of misfortune on him, from being attacked by malevolent soda cans to being stranded in space to being used as a ''literal'' chew toy. Appropriately enough, his name means "weeping rabbit".
* Normad, a DeadpanSnarker AI stuck inside an immobile plush toy in ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'', is generally abused and mistreated by every single member of the cast (usually due to his snarking pushing somebody's BerserkButton), including [[EmotionlessGirl Vanilla]], whom he worships despite the fact that she drags him around on the ground by his tail, uses him as a shield whenever needed, and has resorted to eating him whenever she's on the verge of starvation.
** As a ContinuityNod, Mimolette, a bizarre floating cat-head thing from ''Anime/GalaxyAngelRune'' gets much the same treatment, despite being generally nice and helpful to the girls. Nearly every single episode ends with a freeze-frame of whatever horrible suffering was piled upon him, following the PostEpisodeTrailer.
* Kiyone from the ''Anime/TenchiUniverse'' branch of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' endures constant humiliation due to being partnered with Mihoshi, who is the personification of [[TheDitz ditz]].
* Mic Sounders The 13th in the first half of ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' lasts, on average, about five seconds in any real battle until he gets swatted away like a fly. In the second half though, the universe makes it up to him by giving Mike a [[TookALevelInBadass System Change]] transformation powered by ThePowerOfRock, and the most potent WeaponOfMassDestruction in the series.
* In ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'', Lithuania seems to exist to be tortured by [[HeterosexualLifePartners his best friend Poland]], [[KnifeNut his crush Belarus]], and [[PsychopathicManchild his boss Russia]]. This can be applied to any of the Baltic States, with little Latvia being the most obviously traumatized. Oh, and let's not forget Ukraine, Russia and Belarus's sister and the [[OnlySaneMan only sane nation-tan]] in the family.
** This is sadly TruthInTelevision, as Eastern Europe's history is full of ChewToy situations. Usually, only Poland gets any recognition.
* Metallis in ''LightNovel/MagiciansAcademy''. Not an episode goes by where some misfortune befalls him. All of his magic was [[PowerNullifier drained]] by Suzuka's first in-show appearance, he was tied up by Synclavia and was the one who released the HardGay angel onto the school. After Metallis finds love, the role of Chew Toy shifts to George.
* Yuuki Rito of ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' invariably ends up in so many AccidentalPervert and NotWhatItLooksLike moments that get him horribly beaten up by girls, [[OncePerEpisode episode after episode]] (or chapter after chapter if you read the manga). Comes with the territory of having [[strike:a [[MagicalGirlfriend Magical]]]] an [[HumanAliens Alien]] [[MagicalGirlfriend Girlfriend]].
* Mutsumune, Mina's UnknownRival in ''Anime/GetsumenToHeikiMina'', is subject to AmusingInjuries every episode, usually as a result of her hubris putting her in the wrong place at the wrong time.
* In ''Manga/ExcelSaga'', Excel normally tries to hold down a job while completing a mission for her beloved Il Palazzo, but her hyperactivity and stupidity means she always fails at both, and destroys wherever she is working.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'''s Sanji just cannot win. It's not just his [[ChivalrousPervert constant failing attempts to woo women]], either. There's also his dreams of mermaids being destroyed by [[{{Gonk}} Kokoro]]; his attempts at earning a bounty bearing fruit in the form of a poster with a [[FacialCompositeFailure God-awful composite sketch]]; his childhood dream of becoming {{invisible}} demolished because Absalom beat him to the punch in a way [[MoralEventHorizon he couldn't even envy]]; and finally meeting a man who hated him because his face was near-identical to that God-awful composite sketch. Ending up in an [[IronicHell island of transvestites]], where he was forced to briefly go native and wound up stuck there so long that he briefly experienced life threatening {{nosebleed}}s around real women.
** Spandam: You hate him from the start of the story, being physically weak and feeling strong only because he has strong people working under him, he ruined Franky's childhood by killing his mentor, and he doesn't seem to believe lowly pirates, scum of the sea can possibly be superhuman enough to defeat [=CP9=], and is under the misconception that [[OneManArmy Luffy]] only killed 5 of his guards, with no idea that Enies Lobby has actually been invaded by pirates, and then of course, he is punched and crushed with an elephant by Franky (ItMakesSenseInContext) then is slapped repeatedly by Robin, while later having his spine broken by her. And after watching the whole "Enies Lobby" Arc, you'll love to watch it, along with his other mishaps during the arc.
* Hol Horse from part 3 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. In his first appearance he was quite a threat, as he [[spoiler:almost]] kills Avdol, but is forced to run away when his backup is beaten as he's too much of a coward to fight by himself. The next time we see him he's forced into an EnemyMine situation thanks to his previous actions, but once again gets away, this time with the heroes' car. The last time we see him he's teamed up with Boingo, trying to take advantage of the latter's powers of prediction. He screws up and winds up shooting himself in the face with his ''own gun''.
* After being disgraced by Edward of ''FullmetalAlchemist'', [[DirtyCoward Yoki]] spends the rest of the manga being on the receiving end of constant humiliation, from being beaten up by refugees, practically being Scar's slave and being a useless hostage because no one cares what happens to him. It actually gets to the point that everyone (including the reader and ''Yoki himself'') is surprised when he saves everyone from a really nasty BigBad with some well-timed CarFu.
** In the first anime, it all comes to a head when [[spoiler:Lust kills him to set off a riot]].
* Arguably, Ranma of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''. He gets a fair amount of ThrowTheDogABone moments, but examining his past makes one wonder just how much his family must have pissed God off to warrant the stuff he goes through. Some of it is his fault, some of it is Genma's, but a lot of it is just implausibly bad luck.
* Takeru in ''Rokushin Gattai Anime/GodMars'' is a terrific example. The head Bad Guy sends him to Earth as an infant such that, once grown up, he will destroy the planet. But things go wrong - relatively speaking - and Takeru, now grown up, decides against the plan. Whereupon the Bad Guy sends out assassin after assassin to kill him and, in just about every episode, he's beaten, burned, frozen, zapped, electrocuted, asphyxiated to within a centimeter of his life, at which point the title robot arrives to save him. In the second half of the 64 episode series, he's even stuck with a psionic device which drains part of his life force if he attempts to use his powers. It doesn't get much worse than that. Oh and, he knows that, if he does die, the super-bomb in his guardian robot will blow up the planet.
* ''Originally'', ''{{VisualNovel/Higurashi|NoNakuKoroNi}}'''s chew toy was Satoko. However, by the fourth arc, she's [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescued from the bin]], and gained a large fan base. She's now just TheWoobie. She can go between being a chew toy and a woobie depending on the mood of the show at the time.
** In ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', Rosa gets the worst of this. [[spoiler:The only time she's made it past the second twilight was [=EP2=].]] And frankly, dying horribly is probably an improvement over what she goes through in some of the other arcs, ''especially'' [=EP4=], when [[spoiler:Maria kills her over and over again with magic in the most painful ways she can think of as a NightmareFuel version of CallingTheOldManOut.]] Unlike Satoko, she's still not TheWoobie, given her [[KickTheDog relationship]] [[AbusiveParents with her daughter]].
* Katsuya Jounouchi/Joey Wheeler of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' almost constantly gets this treatment from Seto Kaiba.
* [[IdiotHero Yoshii]] of ''LightNovel/BakaToTestToShoukanjuu'' gets [[WrestlerInAllOfUs beat up]], starved, given detention, and generally mistreated constantly. And it's hilarious!
* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Shimon]] of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Gurren Gakuenhen]] has all of the qualities of TheChewToy: his prayers for a normal life get answered with [[http://www.onemanga.com/Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann_-_Guren_Gakuenhen/1/06/ Kamina doing a flying kick through his bedroom window]] (and this is the most normal entrance into Shimon's room Kamina will ever perform), accidentally gets involved with a girl who regularly draws him into bizarre situations, gets chased by sharks for most of the BeachEpisode, gets blown up by landmines repeatedly, and much much more. The entire universe seems to exist to make try to hurt Shimon. The only things that separate him from an ordinary ChewToy is that he is the main character of the story, and the fact that he manages to take a speech about his constant misfortunes and transform it into a BadassBoast and has an AwesomeMoment before the end of the series.
* Yukinari of ''Manga/GirlsBravo''. Though some fans differ on whether or not it falls into DudeNotFunny at times considering how Kirie, who is supposed to be his best friend, beats him up to a brutal degree constantly.
* Kelly from ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' is a [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender female]] version of this trope. She's not clumsy or incompetent, just ''incredibly'' unlucky. No matter how remote her vacations or how many cars she buys, they will always be ruined by the Transformers on a regular basis. To add insult to injury, it's seldom as a result of collateral damage and instead of incredible misfortune.
** Episode 1: Fired out of her SUV via Ejector Seat. Episode 2: Car eaten by robotic shark, etc...
** Sky-Byte was a villainous example, with his tendency towards panicking, and getting blown up. In one episode Megatron mistakes him for an Autobot and blows him up ''twice''.
* Noboru from ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' is abused, embarrassed, and driven to suicide by Anko.
* ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'' has Keima.
* Gai of ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'' is a bit of a failure as an inventor, [[StickyFingers a thief]], and a prankster, and frequently gets ribbed over his "boorish" attitude. This is all part of his charm.
* Chuck from ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' (shown above) is constantly beaten up and killed by EVERYTHING for no good reason. The very first thing we see at the start of the first episode is Chuck being [[BoltOfDivineRetribution fried by a lightning bolt]] (as he always is) when God sends down a mandate for the girls to take care of. Among many, ''MANY'' other examples, he's been kicked around, [[ChunkySalsaRule shot]], decapitated, run over, sliced up on a cutting board, thrown in a blender, thrown in a microwave, had his spine snapped, [[BatterUp batted out of a window with a metal pipe]], [[MadeOfPlasticine casually thrown against the ground]], scalped by the roof of a car, and pummeled into a pile of gloop. Even his own brain killed him once, [[MakesSenseInContext just to get a little nookie.]]
