History VillainousBreakdown / AnimeAndManga

** You know what? Freeza and Cell, upon seeing their opponents' new transformations. Freeza especially. He goes from using a very polite form of Japanese (shown in translation by not using contractions) and treating the whole thing like a workout, to using a rougher speech form (contractions now in subtitles!) and attempting to ''destroy the whole planet''.

**** Later shown even quicker when Freeza shows up to get his revenge on Earth. Goku is MIA, and Trunks shows up instead. Freeza, not knowing who Trunks is, goes on long winded posturing about the backwater weakness of Earth and laughs at him thinking he can win... and when Trunks turns into a Super Saiyan Freeza goes from gloating to ''absolutely terrified'' to completely enraged in seconds, going from standing around talking to frantically trying to blow him up.

** Zommari probably had the biggest one out of all the Espadas, he comes off as being the most [[TheStoic composed]] of the group, going on long [[LargeHam tangents]] on how his opponent cannot beat him, believing his powers is enough to stop him from moving. When he attempts to have that man's sister to be killed, he gets tired of this game and simply casts a Kido to paralyze her. Zommari, more explict in the anime, immediately loses it and demands his target to move; immediately following a 360 attack by his enemy, causing him to use his full power while proclaiming loudly, even though it fails miserably. The Next chapter has him basically in MadnessMantra mode, going on a [[LargeHam speech]] about WhatMeasureIsANonHuman, ending with a clear VillaneousBreakdown of him praising the BigBad as he dissolves.

** Plays out a little differently in the game's storyline. Harry just gets a punch to the face because he had plans to manipulate Maria into being Brandon's wife, something that Brandon would never do. Harry's also oddly calm when Grave/Brandon confronts him at the very end of the game. With all of Harry's lieutenants and monsters destroyed, he simply [[spoiler: accepts his defeat and allows [[GracefulLoser Grave to kill him]].

* ''{{Naruto}}'': Gaara, whose sand provided him with such perfect protection that he'd never been hit, much less felt physical pain (up to a certain point, though), is stabbed in the shoulder by Sasuke. Gaara wonders what that warm, wet stuff is and then goes [[FeedMe NUTS]] when he [[MinorInjuryOverreaction realizes it's his own blood]].

** And Zorin Blitz gets seriously freaked out when [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome she learns just why]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes she shouldn't have fucked with Seras.]] Basically she was all confident while she was pulling a BreakTheCutie tactic on Seras, mind raping and maiming her, killing Pip, and referring to the dead Pip as an insect. Seras then snaps and Zorin basically had a permanent OhCrap expression on her face up until [[spoiler: Seras kills her by cheese grating her against a wall until her skull breaks]].
*** If that wasn't bad enough [[spoiler: when its obvious she going to be killed. Schrödinger appears and tells her flat out that The Major won't be using the suicide chip on her as she didn't fight her enemy honorably. [[{{Karmic Death}} As such she would be despatched in such a method as well.]]. ]]

** In fact, there are probably only three villains who avert this trope: Jan Valentine (Who goes out ''laughing his ass off''.), the Captain (Who goes out the same way.), and the Major (Who just wanted constant and everlasting war, regardless of who won or lost.).
* Daniel D'Arby's breakdown in part 3 of [=~Jojo's Bizarre Adventure~=] is pretty much one of the most epic examples. Jotaro beats D'Arby in a game of poker by [[InsanityPloy messing him up]] through sheer bluffing! Keep in mind that, D'Arby is an expert gambler and had the whole game ridged to his advantage and Jotaro had never played poker before that moment.

* "In ''GundamWing: Endless Waltz'', [[BigBad Dekim Barton]] has an epic one when his entire plan unravels.

* ''FullmetalAlchemist'' is no stranger to this trope either. In the anime, Envy nearly breaks down after Dante sends Hohenhiem through the gate (thinking she killed him) but is talked into calming down when Dante promises to let him kill the Elrics. Even after killing Ed, it doesn't satisfy him. Upon being sent to the gate (thanks to Al using the stone and him trying to prevent it) and learning that Ed's Father is still alive, he practically forces his way into the gate and pretty much loses it transforming into a dragon in the process. Also Dietlinde Eckhart, the main baddie from the movie, near end of the climax goes into a tirade about how Ed's world is full of monsters when Ed gains the advantage. Ironically she ends up turned into something of a monster on the the trip back to her world through the gate and shot as result of her appearance.
** The Manga on the other hand. Envy somewhats goes through this (this version isn't very sane) [[spoiler:whenever some forces him to go into his true form, a small fetus like thing]].
*** And on top of that Envy has such a tremendous breakdown [[spoiler:due to being rendered to his fetus like form, unable to manipulate anyone, and being called out on his Envy of humanity by Edward that he rips out his own Philosopher's Stone and crushes it, killing himself while cursing Edward for being able to read his motives.]]
** Not to mention [[BadBoss Central Command]], with each General more or less losing it due to [[spoiler:Roy and Olivier Armstrong's revolution defeating their forces and [[BigBad Father]] betraying them]]
** Other than, Envy, there's the BigBad himself, Father, who [[spoiler: ''succeeds'' at becoming God, but the countermeasures that Hohenheim placed ended up making him lose 50 million souls, meaning he's got all the souls from Xerxes, but that's ''barely'' enough to keep God in his body, and he ends up having several veins pop out, struggling to keep God in, it doesn't help that, he's put in a situation where he's constantly being attacked, depleting his Philosophers Stone, and when he loses God, he loses his mind and attempts to make a Philosophers Stone out of Ed, but that fails too, due to Ed getting his arm back, and Father loses his stoic nature before and after that]].

** Hell, just [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLxw5N1uuTg watch]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbz7Bx2y18M it.]] Slightly broken up, but you'll get the picture.

'''Hao''': Hah... hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Opacho's gonna miss out on all the fun! '''HEAR ME NOW, SPIRIT OF FIRE!''' (Spirit of Fire appears) '''REGENERATE, AND ARIIIIIISSSEEEE! Devour him!''' (Spirit of Fire lunges at the Great Spirits and starts absorbing their energy)

* In the second-to-last episode of ''ShamanKing'', Hao gets a huge VillainousBreakdown when Yoh regains his soul and his consciousness to the joy of his friends and his fiencee Anna - leading Hao himself to lose his cool and get really mad as well as go AxCrazy.
--> '''Hao''': (preparing to engage Yoh in the final showdown as his now-enlarged-and-bright-gold Spirit of Fire fully emerges from the Great Spirits) '''[[PrepareToDie Get ready to meet your END, Brother]]'''!!

* In the [[Manga/TheLegendOfZelda Legend of Zelda: Four Swords manga]], Shadow Link gets one when Vio is freed by the other three Links and the Links defeat his Hinox servants. His VillainousBreakdown has him fly into a rage and hit the four Links with a ThisIsUnforgivable and make one last lash at them - only to be defeated by the combined power of their Four Swords.
