** Of special note is Dabi. Dabi will do anything to achieve his goal of breaking his father's spirit and heroic legacy. He doesn't even care about his own family anymore; not even Natsuo, whom he relied on for emotional comfort as a child, is spared from his quest for revenge against Endeavor, as shown when he lamented how it's a shame Natsuo didn't die so Endeavor could suffer another emotional loss. This is even visually shown in Chpater 351 by the way he uses Endeavor's Hell Spider Super Move. When Endeavor uses the move, he fires thin, precise beams of flame to limit collateral damage and avoid casualties. But as noted by Idia, Dabi's use of the move has him release thicker beams of fire in a more haphazard way, showing how little Dabi cares about collateral damage. Even his own allies aren't safe, as his final gambit, compressing so much thermal energy inside him that he'll explode and take everything in 5 kilometers with him, would have all of them in the blast radius.

* Shigi from ''Manga/FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden''. After Prince Hakei rescued Shigi from a harem, he became completely devoted to his new boss; his obsession with killing the Genbu Warriors initially begins because of his loyalty to Hakei and the Kutou army. When Hakei changes his mind about killing the warriors after Genbu's summoning, Shigi cannot handle this fact since his entire life revolved around the warriors' demise.

Lelouch in particular forces another character to back down by ''threatening suicide'', as he'd rather die than not achieve his goals.

** One of [[GodEmperor Yhwach's]] defining character traits is his complete and utter ruthlessness and his almost unemotional determination to overcome any obstactle that gets in his way, both physical and moral. In the state of being very weak? Just conduct ThePurge and regain power and extend your lifespan, of "unnecessary" and "impure" Quincy, regardless of age. Team Killing from his soldiers? It doesn't matter. Power ups from the heroes? It doesn't matter. Barriers keeping you from walking further? It doesn't matter. Squad Zero itself meeting up with you head-on? Fuck off. All four of your Schutzstaffel Elites falling to one guy? Conduct ThePurge on your own soldiers so you can simultaneously revive and strengthen the elites. Destroying the world? A necessary sacrifice. No single thing can and will keep him from undoing the original sin by recreating a world without death, and there's not a single thing he will not do to further his goal of creating said perfect world.
