* ''Anime/CrossAnge'': The series' BigBad, [[AGodAmI Embryo]], is usually a calm, collected, sophisticated, FauxAffablyEvil [[EvilGenius Genius]] who is hellbent on making [[FallenPrincess Ange]] his wife, in hopes that he can be the progenitor of a new world with her as this generation's "Eve" and he its "Adam". But the first time his usual polite demeanor cracks and he starts raising his voice [[spoiler:is when he confronts [[BadassNormal Tusk]], Ange's NiceGuy LoveInterest, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech who angrily calls him out for trying to claim her like she's some beast he can tame]]. This isn't what upsets Embryo, though; what pisses the "Tuner" off is when Tusk makes a quip that he knows Ange so well, he could count the number of freckles on her inner thigh. Embryo deduces it as a threat to Ange's virginity, which he feels he is entitled to. Then Tusk [[IShallTauntYou proceeds to proudly reveal]] that [[TheirFirstTime he and Ange slept together in a very heartfelt first time]], and even goes into detail about how good the sex was. At first, Embryo thinks Tusk is lying, but once he realizes he isn't, he is BlindedByRage as he furiously proclaims that he won't let what Tusk did stand, accusing him of defiling [[EntitledToHaveYou his]] wife]]. At that point, Embryo lets go of all pretenses of pretend affability; [[spoiler:when he catches Ange again, he beats her and [[AttemptedRape attempts to rape her on the spot]]. And when [[BigDamnHeroes Tusk saves her from his clutches before he can violate her]], [[RageBreakingPoint Embryo finally loses his cool]]; he angrily states that [[IfICantHaveYou if Ange won't "accept his love", he'll just kill her and find someone else to become his "Eve"]]]].

* Light Yagami of ''Manga/DeathNote'' lost his cool from time to time, but the ultimate freakout was [[spoiler:right at the end, when he realized that he dug his own grave via his unshakable belief that he could never be defeated, leading to a series of fatal oversights. Once he realizes that there's no hope of fooling anyone anymore, he breaks into an EvilLaugh as he goes on a MotiveRant about how he's just a WellIntentionedExtremist who was the only person who could make the world "better." Then he resorts to using a piece of the titular Death Note to try and kill Near when the latter [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech verbally tears him apart]]. Touta Matsuda, who had previously wanted to believe that Kira was indeed well-intentioned, immediately stands up to him and shoots Light's hand, provoking Light to furiously shout at Matsuda for "screwing with him" as he desperately tries to convince him to kill Near and the rest of the [=SPK=]. When Matsuda is unswayed, Light tries to write Near's name in his own blood on the page he concealed; he then devolves into incredulous, fearful screaming once [[UnstoppableRage Matsuda flies into a rage and unloads the contents of his revolver into Light's body]]]]. In the manga, [[spoiler:the wannabe god realizes that he, who built his gargantuan ego upon so many deaths, does not himself want to die, and [[VillainsWantMercy begs desperately for his life]] after Ryuk writes Light's name in his Death Note in front of Near, Mikami and everyone in the [=SPK=]. [[AssholeVictim He dies pathetically, without sympathy, bleeding on the floor as a heart attack finishes him off]]]]. In the anime, he [[spoiler: ends his reign of terror by trying to flee the scene, running aimlessly through the city, crying as [[MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes his life flashes before his eyes,]] before finally collapsing and DyingAlone. Notably, [[AdaptationalSympathy unlike his unrepentant and truly vile manga counterpart]], Light in the anime is given a case of AlasPoorVillain, seeing as he seemed to have a tearful HeelRealization before he died.]]
