27	* In ''Anime/AceAttorney2016'', Morgan rants to a young Maya about how Misty and Mia, Maya's mother and older sister, respectively, dishonored the Fey clan through their involvement with outsiders. Misty had agreed to channel Gregory Edgeworth's spirit to solve the DL-6 case, only for Edgeworth to identify the wrong culprit, leading to Misty being disgraced and disappearing out of shame. In response, Mia left the village and became a lawyer, albeit partly to avoid having to fight with Maya over the succession. Morgan, however, [[spoiler:conspires with an outsider to frame Maya for murder (in the anime, she blackmails her accomplice into assisting her)]] and later [[spoiler:manipulates Pearl into channeling the spirit of her dead half-sister Dahlia so she can kill Maya and/or frame her for murder.]] Basically, Morgan ends up being far more disgraceful to the Fey Clan than her sister or niece were.
28	* Heroic example in ''Anime/AngelBeats'': Otonashi ''successfully sends his friends that were in purgatory'' to find peace with themselves. He then tells Tenshi to stay with him in that place which, while pretty much in-character for him, is pretty much infuriating due to the fact that their goal was to go away from that place. Thankfully, that didn't work out.
29	* Several characters in the ''Manga/{{Area 88}}'' manga demonstrate a dangerous lack of self-awareness.
30	** Saki waxes poetic about his love for his country, explaining to Mickey that the Vashtal royal family must care for the country and its people. However, Saki has no qualms about using nuclear weapons in his country's civil war and supporting an economic system that keeps many Asranians poor and uneducated.
31	** Mickey was traumatized by the horrors of combat during his deployment in the Vietnam War. Knowing this, he nevertheless works as a mercenary in a bloody civil war, thereby inflicting the horrors of combat on others.
32	** [=McCoy=] grieves for the deaths of Area 88's pilots, but has no moral qualms about selling arms and profiting off death.
33	** Hoover was grief-stricken by the deaths of several young pilots during a NATO training exercise, a tragedy for which he blames himself. To escape his painful past, he becomes a mercenary in a senseless civil war, killing enemy pilots every day without batting an eyelash.
34	* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'':
35	** One commanding officer for the Garrison forces during the Battle of Trost says that deserting is a crime punishable by death, [[DirtyCoward but quickly withdraws to safe territory]], leaving those guarding the resupply station high and dry.
36	** [[spoiler: Kenny]] criticized Rod Reiss for being a horrible example of a father to [[spoiler: Historia]] but their own record of being a parent was not much better, if not worse. Though they did take in and raise [[spoiler: Levi]], they were abusive to the point [[spoiler: Levi]] continued to have "quirks" well into adulthood and flat out says they didn't teach [[spoiler: Levi]] anything beyond fighting and killing. Of course, [[spoiler:in his dying moments, [[HypocrisyNod Kenny admits that he's not fit to be a father]]]].
37	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Griffith admits to Princess Charlotte that the only person worthy of being his friend is a man who chases his own personal dream, even at the expense of his own dream. After Guts overhears this, he decides to leave the Band of the Hawk after helping them win the war for Midland, to discover and chase his own dream. Griffith challenges Guts to another duel after he finds out, since at this time, Griffith has become quite obsessed with him. When Griffith loses the duel and Guts leaves, it is the point where things go FromBadToWorse, both for Griffith and for the other Hawks soon after.
38	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
39	** [[MasterOfIllusion Aizen]] tells Ichigo to abandon his arrogance, in spite of growing more obnoxious throughout his final fight with Ichigo. When Aizen is de-powered by Ichigo long enough to be sealed by Urahara's hidden [[FunctionalMagic Kidou]], Urahara lampshades the fact that, once Aizen started going through his power-up cycle, he became less dangerous the more the power [[DrunkWithPower went to his head]].
40	** Yhwach claims to hate violence and preaches about peace, but he [[BadBoss kills his subordinates without any hesitation]] and orchestrates a war with the Soul Reapers. This is reflected in how his volume spread picture contains the word "Peace" written in blood.
41	** Bazz-B gets pissed when Cang Du steps in and declares he will be the one who will finish off Hitsugaya, saying {{Kill Steal}}ing is not cool. Later, Bazz-B [[TeamKiller shoots down]] Candice, Giselle, Liltotto, and Meninas during their fight against Ichigo and claims he has every right to perform a KillSteal.
42	* ''Manga/BrynhildrInTheDarkness'': Kuroha is [[MartyrWithoutACause eagerly self-sacrificial]] to the point where whenever [[{{Seers}} Kana]] predicts her death she makes no attempts to avoid that future. This goes unacknowledged when Kuroha is telling [[spoiler:Nanami]] not to take any risks that could cost them their life.
43	* ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': StockShonenHero Kazuki is repeatedly called a hypocrite by the AntiVillain Papillon for wanting to continue fighting him despite having been [[FirstEpisodeResurrection killed]], comparing it to how he was practically on his death bed because of his illness and wanting to fight to continue to live. It's when Kazuki fights Papillon and says that he should stop killing and accept his fate that he begins to call Kazuki this, when Kazuki got a second chance. Of course the entire thing falls flat because Kazuki doesn't have to kill people in order to survive. [[spoiler:That chances after he begins to turn into a WalkingWasteland, but once again falls flat because Kazuki fights to find an alternative that means not having to siphon life from people.]]
44	* In the ''Manga/ChiosSchoolRoad'' episode “Bloody Butterfly Effect 2”, Mayuta admits that he thought the name Chio gave herself, “Bloody Butterfly”, was ''really'' lame and couldn’t tell why he was able to say it with a straight face. At the end, Chio finds out that his motorcycle gang’s name is the even less threatening [[spoiler:Starry Night Gang]].
45	* The Angels in ''Manga/CodeBreaker'', they seem to view pretty much anyone who isn't them as evil, all while playing fun games such as "who can kill the least amount of people". Then one even states that it would be more fun to just kill them, these being the guys who believe normal people are evil for wanting to kill people.
46	* [[Characters/CodeGeassSuzakuKururugi Suzaku Kururugi]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' preaches [[InternalReformist non-violence and systematic change]], all the while serving in the very army causing the tyranny. It's a lot worse in the second season, where his primary plan to obtain Japan's freedom is to deprive ''everyone else'' of their freedom (if necessary) just so he can get a high-enough standing to claim Japan as his own.
47	** [[Characters/CodeGeassLelouchLamperouge Lelouch vi Britannia]], the main character, is a hypocrite, too, but the big difference between him and Suzaku is that [[HypocrisyNod he holds no illusions about that fact]].
48	--->'''Lelouch''': I have no time to debate which of us is the bigger hypocrite!
49	** [[TheEveryman Kaname Ohgi]] believes that soldiers should not be used as pawns, which he holds to... until [[spoiler:he uses [[ActionGirl Kallen]] to bait out his leader who he intends to turn over to [[TheEvilPrince Schneizel]] in exchange for Japan's freedom]]. Also, he contradicts his bitterness over Lelouch's disappearance during the Black Rebellion, both by his abandonment mid-season, and [[spoiler:the aforementioned trade made without the UFN's consent that would have left its member nations abandoned]].
50	*** Ohgi's hypocrisy eventually made him [[TheScrappy one of the most hated characters on the show]]. [[spoiler: Ohgi led the effort to betray Lelouch, accusing him of using the Black Knights as pawns, of abandoning them during the failed Black Rebellion a year ago, and for being a Britannian prince with a hidden agenda. Yet he himself had an affair with a Britannian agent, [[TheBaroness Villetta Nu]], [[SpannerInTheWorks who had caused Lelouch and the Black Knights no end of problems for her own gain]], and almost caused Ohgi and other Black Knights to be executed. Ohgi himself had gone AWOL a few episodes before the betrayal on account of her. It's important to remember that Ohgi and the other Black Knights based their actions on the (almost entirely unsubstantiated) allegations of a notorious Britannian prince who was their current military enemy, who was also responsible for creating the weapon that ''just nuked Tokyo'', and who took numerous liberties with the truth. Not to mention that Ohgi asked for Japan in exchange for Lelouch, which is tantamount to if not downright worse than Lelouch going AWOL during the Black Rebellion, as it would have constituted the Black Knights abandoning their role as military protection force of the UFN and leaving the other member states to the tender mercies of Britannia.]]
51	*** Presumably as a result, the CompilationMovie series dials all of this back [[CharacterRerailment to make him closer to]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse the Ohgi that people originally liked]]. Here, it's depicted and/or [[AdaptationExpansion clarified]] that [[spoiler: despite all the evidence Schneizel and Villetta had, he was still reluctant to go through the betrayal and wanted to hear from Lelouch first, apparently seeing through his claims that he was using them as pawns and insists he just tell the truth. When Schneizel's men prepare to open fire, he objects that they still haven't actually gotten their answers yet. This is when things proceed like in the original and [[TykeBomb Rolo]] comes to save Lelouch. The TreacheryCoverup was also changed to being more of [[ImmoralJournalist Diethard Ried]]'s idea. While Ohgi may have still kept Villetta a secret, he wasn't ''intentionally'' working behind the Black Knights backs like Diethard, [[HypocriteHasAPoint whom he punches in the face while still being right enough to do so.]] ''Anime/CodeGeassLelouchOfTheResurrection'' also explains that he stepped down from being prime minister of Japan after deciding he wasn't fit for the job, and even went as far as to attempt suicide for everything he ended up causing. The only thing that stopped him was Lelouch, now BackFromTheDead, who reveals that he doesn't really care about the circumstances and is willing to forgive him.]]
52	* Spike Spiegel from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' is a more tragic case of this. Throughout the series a CentralTheme is him encouraging Faye, Jet and the other characters to forget their troubled pasts and move on with their lives. Yet despite saying that, Spike himself is utterly incapable of letting go of his own DarkAndTroubledPast with Julia, Vicious and the Syndicate even though it ultimately brings him nothing but pain and despair, Faye explicitly calls him out on it in the final episode.
53	* Richter of ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'':
54	** He calls Raiza "useless" for not being able to defeat Daimos, as if he's any better. When Olban sends Aizam, someone more competent, to replace him, Richter isn't having it.
55	** [[spoiler: Richter is furious when he finds out that Olban has been messing with the Baam in cryostatis and executing them, even though he ordered the executions of Gurney, Cindy, Erika, Margarete and many other Baam under the justification of them being "traitors".]]
56	* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': Emperor Dolmen despised [[spoiler: the Helios Empire for abusing him relentlessly for being a clone of Emperor Palmillion. However, Dolmen groomed Kloppen into being subserviant for the Zaal Empire and discarded him once it was revealed Kloppen was a clone of Prince Harlin]].
57	* L from ''Manga/DeathNote'', who tells Light that it is evil to murder outside the law, then proceeds to do a whole manner of illegal things to capture the 'evil' Kira, (including spying, kidnapping, and [[ColdBloodedTorture torture.]]) This goes to show that they are not that different. He is also more than ready to let both criminals and the innocent die just to prove Kira's identity during the investigation of [[spoiler: Yotsuba]].
58	** And of course, there's Light himself. Ryuk tells him that, even if he succeeds in killing all the evil people, he'll remain as the only evil person, and Light refuses to consider what he does evil.
59	*** In the 13th volume, Light considers all killings are criminal, even if they are carried out from his order. However, he doesn't believe he should be punished for it, so he is still a hypocrite. Especially since his victims include plenty of innocent people, killed to tie up loose ends, because they were trying to stop him, or in one case when they used the Death Note to kill people for profit - even though he gave it to them and expected them to do just that.
60	*** Light declares himself God, and that anyone who opposes God is wrong.
61	** Also Near, if [[spoiler:Matsuda]]'s theory [[spoiler:that he wrote Mikami's name in the Death Note to verify it was real and prevent Mikami from doing anything that would undermine Near's plan, thus enabling him to expose Light as Kira]] is true.
62	* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', Kaigaku mocks Zenitsu for being weak and a [[CowardlyLion coward]], while Kaigaku ends up being so much of a DirtyCoward that he [[spoiler:willingly becomes a demon]] to save himself. Kaigaku also chides Zenitsu for not showing their teacher, a former Hashira, the respect he deserves, but Kaigaku's actions end up disgracing their teacher to the point that he [[spoiler:commits {{Seppuku}} to atone for his pupil's transgression]].
63	* ''Literature/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'':
64	** Emi Yusa, and she's self-aware enough to know it. After sneering at Maou for being broke and with a mundane life and job, we then cut to her next day at work at a call center, after which she buys some chicken that's on sale and goes home to her normal apartment and watches bad TV before exploding that she's doing the exact same thing Maou is.
65	** [[SinisterMinister Olba Mayer]] calls Emi out for working with Maou, questioning her sanity... despite the fact that not only was he himself in a VillainTeamUp with Lucifer, a FallenAngel and Maou's [[TheStarscream Starscream]], he was actively using Lucifer to terrorize innocent people. Even ''Lucifer himself'' calls Olba out on this.
66	** Rika Suzuki is very nosy and constantly pries into peoples' pasts, but anyone asking about her past is a major BerserkButton for her.
67	* In ''Manga/DGrayMan'', the Black Order is supposed to be the good guys, and represent light to battle the Noah and Akuma who have darkness based powers. [[spoiler: and then we find out about [[EldritchAbomination fallen ones]], heresy trials, the second exorcist project, the third exorcist project, and Apocryphos.]]
68	* ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' has [[spoiler: Marcille. She detests and complains about the rest of the party's bizarre and outlandish combat tactics and eating habits, but she herself is a specialist in forbidden BloodMagic, which is far more outrageous and unacceptable than simply eating something a bit weird.]]
69	* Neo Saiba, TheRival from ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01'' got [[TheHero Taichi]] banned from the Digimon tournament after Taichi's digital pet glitched into a DummiedOut Digimon and accused him of hacking his digital pet for an unfair advantage. It's later revealed by [=MetalGreymon=], his original Digimon partner, that Saiba himself modified his virtual pet for the same advantage and deleted [=MetalGreymon=] when he was only a Greymon for losing a match.
70	* ''Anime/ADogOfFlanders1975'': Alois's father, the wealthiest man in the entire town, hates Nello because he's from a poor family. However, it's later revealed that he was also born a poor rural boy.
71	* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
72	** The titular guild (particularly Natsu) have a real moment of hypocrisy in getting angry that Phantom Lord destroyed their Guild Hall. Remind us again how much property damage they've caused? Though to be fair, the difference with Fairy Tail is that they often don't do it entirely on purpose, or with any ill-intent. Phantom Lord destroyed the guild hall out of spite. Makarov takes it in stride, but the final straw comes when Gajeel (then part of Phantom Lord) beats up and crucifies the three members of Team Shadow Gear.
73	** The guild also criticizes Raven Tail for cheating in The Grand Magic Games. While they're ''nowhere'' near as bad as they are, they haven't exactly been adhering to the rules very strictly either.
74	** Natsu became one late in the battle with Sting and Rogue. If there is anything ''Fairy Tail'' hammers our head with is the whole concept of friendship, comrades, and teamwork, but it seems that Natsu always has to fight the stronger opponents and win all by himself. The point where Natsu became a hypocrite was when [[spoiler:during the tag-team battle between him and Gajeel vs. Sting and Rogue. Natsu actually kicked Gajeel out of the fight just so he could win it by himself]]. Teamwork, comrades, friendship, all those concepts pretty much went out the window right there.
75	** Miriana apparently hates people who dress up as cats since they're not "real" cats. And yet she's a human-cat hybrid (it's not explained why she's like this or if there's any explanation after all). Natsu appropriately calls her out on this.
76	** After the second TimeSkip, Natsu returns from a year-long training journey to find out that [[spoiler:Fairy Tail disbanded in his absence]], and is quite angry that the people he knew would allow that to happen. He also gets angry with Gray when [[spoiler:Gray, who'd been living with Juvia during the time skip, leaves without saying anything to infiltrate Avatar (the lack of notice was Erza's idea, so that Juvia wouldn't be targeted)]]. Lucy, however, points out that Natsu doesn't have a right to complain about that when he himself left while only leaving a note behind, [[ForgivenButNotForgotten something she forgave Natsu for, but doesn't hesitate to remind him of when he displays this tendency]]. In Natsu's defense, he had no way to know that Fairy Tail would disband right after his departure (he left before the members were told to disband by Makarov), so his anger and confusion upon his return is understandable.
77	* ''Manga/FoodWars'': Central is an organization that takes over Tootsuki Academy to teach their "superior" cooking methodology while suppressing those who want to cook and experiment in different ways. Despite their elitism, many members also have no problem sabotaging the exams and Shokugekis of those who disagree with their methods instead of fighting them fairly to prove their supposed superiority.
78	* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
79	** [[BigBad Father]] loathed humans; his fondest desire was to see them punished for their arrogance. Yet his ultimate goal was to [[spoiler:become a PhysicalGod by consuming the real one]]. [[LiteralGenie He got called on it]], [[AndIMustScream big time]].
80	** Also, according to Kimblee, Pride is this, as he [[spoiler:insults humans and states his desire to [[GrandTheftMe steal Ed's body]] in the same breath]]. It's why Kimblee decides to [[spoiler:help Ed]].
81	** Ed, Winry, and Al believe that Scar should be punished for the murders that he committed against Amestrians, but are more hesitant to believe that Mustang, Hawkeye, and the rest of the Amestrian soldiers should be punished for doing the same thing to Ishvalans. Most of Scar's victims were State Alchemists, some that participated on his race's genocide, but the Amestrian soldiers killed ''thousands'' of Ishvalans, women and children including. Granted, they believe that the Amestrian soldiers were JustFollowingOrders and being manipulated by the homunculi, but Riza, a soldier who participated in the genocide, states outright it doesn't excuse their actions.
82	*** That being said, Ed never denies that Scar is right in being angry over what happened to his people, he just hates that Scar is basically killing people regardless of what attachment to the state they have nor how they truly felt about it; that's not getting into the fact that Scar also tried to kill Ed and Al just for Ed being an State Alchemist, even though they had ''nothing'' to do with the Ishvalan genocide. Also, Winry's case is a bit more justified, since on top of Scar trying to murder Ed and Al, her {{Childhood Friend}}s, his very first victims were [[YouKilledMyFather her parents]], who were {{Innocent Bystander}}s and had ''saved'' Scar's life (though in his defense, he was having a FreakOut that time, and the murder of the Rockbells is the only one Scar actively regrets).
83	** Scar himself can be considered this, as he, an Ishvalan, hates alchemy, but uses the deconstruction part of it to kill his targets. [[spoiler:When he comes to terms with himself and realizes what he's doing is wrong, he gets a tattoo on his other arm and starts using alchemy fully, understanding that the stakes have grown too high for him to continue abiding by his beliefs anyway.]]
84	** Envy is an absolutely sadistic bastard who will KickTheDog as much as possible and laugh in his victims' faces about it as he does, but the minute ''he's'' the victim rather than the aggressor, he'll bitch and moan about it non-stop and accuse his enemies of not fighting fair.
85	** Shou Tucker conducts utterly unethical experiments in his desperation to remain a State Alchemist with no understanding or regard for the well-being of others, but when he's found out, placed under house-arrest and has his certification revoked, he bitterly wonders why "no-one is capable of understanding me".
86	** [[spoiler:Dante]], the BigBad of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'', is also a massive hypocrite. [[spoiler: She claims to be "above humans", just like her manga analogue. At the end of the series, she gives Edward a big speech about how life isn't fair and that humans would destroy the world if they had the Philosopher's Stone. After her defeat, she whines about how her own efforts were ruined; moreover, she herself instigated nearly every atrocity in the past four centuries out of a desire for the Philosopher's Stone. Although she seems to believe her own bullshit to an extent, she mainly uses it as a means to excuse her colossal selfishness.]]
87	* Leonard Tessarossa from ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'' makes a big deal about how he's a perfect gentleman, and is shown to constantly [[GreenEyedMonster get jealous and angry]] when people like [[MagneticHero Sousuke]] more than him. As far as he's concerned, Sousuke is unworthy of their praise because he's far less [[MenAreUncultured "cultured"]] and [[SociopathicHero has killed people]]. Of course, Leonard isn't nearly as gentlemanly as he likes to pretend, stealing a girl's SacredFirstKiss because he's convinced that she should be with him whether she likes it or not. And on top of that, while Sousuke ''has'' killed people, it was people like terrorists, mercenaries or enemy combatants he fought in direct combat to protect innocents; meanwhile, Leonard is the head of a terrorist organization and has overseen the deaths of far more people, most of them innocent civilians, than Sousuke ever did (not to mention the fact that they kidnap and exploit people with psychic abilities in order to invent even stronger weapons so they can kill ''even more'' people). But in Leonard's mind, because he didn't pull the trigger personally, those deaths don't count and therefore he's a better human being than Sousuke. Needless to say, Kaname throwing his hypocrisy in his face and calling him out on being a rotten person starts wearing on him, and eventually (after she accidentally shoots him in the face) he drops the "gentlemanly act" entirely, smacks her across the face and tells her to shut up...but still remains convinced that they're meant for each other[[note]]the fact that his plan ended up causing her to get "possessed" by a woman far more willing to cooperate with him and return his affections might have something to do with it[[/note]]. All told, it's easy to see why Leonard is one of the most agreed upon [[TheScrappy Scrappies]] in the series.
88	* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has quite a bit:
89	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' has Blue Cosmos. Their main goal is to kill all of the [[DesignerBabies Coordinators]], and how do they do it? By kidnapping children and conditioning them into Artificial Coordinators, which is the only way they could possibly stand a chance in 1 on 1 combat against ZAFT. It should be noted that the process used to create these "Extended", which involves [[PsychoSerum drugs]], mental conditioning, torture, and memory tampering is far, far more invasive than the process used to make Coordinators.
90	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'': Shinn Asuka is horrified when he finds out about Stella's backstory as a {{Tykebomb}}, disobeys orders in order to save her, and is outraged when Kira Yamato cuts her down while she is rampaging through Berlin. In an earlier episode, Shinn had killed Stella's fellow SuperSoldier and Tykebomb, Auel. In a later episode, he kills her other partner, Sting. In both cases, he is fully aware of who they are and what he's killing--and treats them like monsters who deserve to die.
91	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' - Celestial Being, what with the whole fighting (and killing) to eradicate war. They are at least self-aware about it: [[LampshadeHanging Lockon calls himself a "walking contradiction" at one point]] due to being a terrorist who hates terrorism. They still believe that their actions in the greater Aeolia Plan will lead to a better world. Celestial Being exists because the members believe that such drastic actions will be the only way all the various conflicts of the world will come to an end. Sitting around and waiting for change to happen wasn't an option for them, especially when most of them have been confronted with the senselessness of war and would want to put a stop to it.
92	** There was also a terrorist group called La Eden, who bomb numerous cities, their reason was to stop Celestial Being from their military interventions. They state that their actions weren't evil, however their actions could hardly considered to be anything but evil, and they're just a bunch of wannabe terrorists trying to imitate Celestial Being. The rest of the world seems to agree, as various government intelligence agencies [[EnemyMine quietly leaked the location]] of La Eden's home base to Celestial Being.
93	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' - Gjallahorn spreads propaganda against cybernetic modification, to the point that they don't consider people who have had the Ālaya-Vijñāna implanted to be human. Then they convert one of their own soldiers into a cybernetic abomination that makes the Ālaya-Vijñāna look positively tame in comparison. The Gjallahorn soldiers who witness said abomination in action are horrified and even call it a devil. [[spoiler:Invoked by [=McGillis=], who wanted to make Gjallahorn look bad to the public to destabilize it and reveal its corruption. All part of his plan to take over Gjallahorn so he can ostensibly reform it.]]
94	** From the second season of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'', we have Rustal Elion. But his hypocrisy is actually an ''[[{{Reconstruction}} asset]]''. Rustal doesn't care about using weapons banned by their equivalent of the Geneva Convention because 'his enemies started using them first', nevermind that [[FalseFlagOperation he was the one who made it look it like so]]. He'll take down Gjallarhorn's old aristocracy to establish his own dynasty. Rustal will do what's good for him first, what's good for the galaxy second, and preferably both at the same time. And this is why he's such an incredible menace; [[TheUnfettered he'll do whatever it takes to win and reap maximum benefits]], while everyone else trips over their beliefs and morality.
95	* ''Manga/HelloMelancholic'': Hibiki-senpai criticizes her father for his views on music while she herself is overly pushing when trying to convince Minato to play alongside professionals.
96	* In the fourth OVA of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', Rip Van Winkle opts to kill three British vampire turncoats [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves for killing the crew of their aircraft carrier and handing it over to her]]. Earlier that same episode, she and her cohorts at Millennium betrayed and murdered a dozen aging former senior officers when they got angry at [[BigBad The Major]] for refusing to turn them into vampires.
97	* In the anime/manga version of ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', Silvermask/[[spoiler: Prince Hilmes]] proclaims that Andragoras is the usurper of the throne and unjustly ruling Pars. However, given the GrayAndGreyMorality at play, Silvermask is just setting himself as a usurper. While at least Andragoras was smart enough to keep the whole thing internally, Silvermask allied himself with Lusitania to wreck havoc on Pars and its innocent citizens.
98	* ''Manga/ImaizuminChiWaDouyaraGalNoTamaribaNiNatteruRashiiDeep'': The classmates try to make Imaizumi to be in the wrong for defending Reina from their SlutShaming because "he doesn't know her". It's not like they know a thing about her either, which is what Imaizumi replies with. They just dismiss him as a virgin.
99	* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'': Sesshomaru calls Inuyasha disrespectful for trying to attack him on their father's grave. Inuyasha calls him out because Sesshomaru was intending to rob their father's grave.
100	** In the sequel ''Anime/YashahimePrincessHalfDemon'' Sesshomaru proves himself to be an even bigger one when, after he spent almost the entire ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' manga declaring how much he loathes half-demons, trying to KILL his own half-brother for being one, and how he constantly resented his father for marrying a human woman, he ends up married to a human woman himself and becoming the father to ''two'' half-demon girls.
101	* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'': After Josuke and Okuyasu start attacking Yoshikage Kira when he [[spoiler:unwittingly reveals his true identity]], he goes on yet another spiel about how he simply wants a quiet, peaceful life. Josuke and Okuyasu quickly call him out over his hypocrisy given that he's a SerialKiller.
102	-->'''Josuke:''' We were coming after you because you killed [[spoiler:Shigechi]], you dumbass!\
103	'''Okuyasu:''' A pig bastard like you whose hobby is to kill people doesn't have the right to talk about what he wants to do, you dipshit!
104	[[/folder]]

106	[[folder:K-Y]]
107	* ''Anime/KillLaKill'':
108	** Satsuki Kiryuin starts off as this:
109	*** In middle school, she disparages two bullies who rely on their parents' positions and connections for their power. Gamagoori points out that she's doing exactly the same thing; she counters that unlike them, she truly ''owns'' her parents' power. It turns out that [[spoiler:she's only doing this so that she can eventually rebel against her mother]], making this something of a subversion.
110	*** She spends a good three-quarters of the series lambasting Ryuko for having something as small-minded and self-centered as a revenge quest fueling her one-man war against her. Then she reveals to Ragyo that [[spoiler:she originally started her rebellion plans when her father revealed what was done to her little sister and requested her to carry on his quest to stop Ragyo just before he was chased off by her]]. When Ragyo points out how petty that motivation is, Satsuki, without a modicum of irony or self-awareness, asserts that great causes and champions are fueled by personal desires. Of course, her original statement was made in public before witnesses, and she had a cover to maintain at the time, so whether she really believed it is suspect at best.
111	*** Her SocialDarwinist ideology doesn't apply to her friends. The Elite Four are badasses, true, but they can't hold a candle to Ryuko, and they all get stripped by her. Satsuki just gives them better uniforms when they lose, when any lesser student would be back to No-Star. [[spoiler:She used the battles to train Ryuko up as well as catch weaknesses in the Elite Four's Goku uniforms, as the latter were completely with Satsuki in her true plan. At the end of the day, this ideology always came second to her goals if it interfered, and later she [[HeelRealization realizes]] that this ideology was wrong in the first place, making her no different than Ragyo.]]
112	** [[BigBad Ragyo Kiryuin]] repeatedly tells both Satsuki and [[spoiler: Ryuko]] that they should be respectful towards their mother. However, she herself is shown to have no respect for either of them, as she had put the former through horrendous abuse and callously threw the latter in the trash when she was only a few months old.
113	** Rei Hououmaru despises abuse of the weak by the strong. [[spoiler:As such, it's not a coincidence that her Black Constructs are built on memories of Satsuki and the Elite Four's iron-fisted rule of Honnouji Academy.]] However, she conveniently glances over the fact that her beloved boss, Ragyo, is [[spoiler:and was]] without a doubt the most powerful person on the planet and the most horrifying abuser of human rights.
114	** Uzu Sanageyama chews out Takarada for relying on his vast wealth for power and for using the citizens of Osaka as a hastily amassed private military. Conveniently ignores that not only is Honnou Town only formed because of the money Satsuki was loaned by her mother, but that Satsuki and he are far worse abusers of human rights than Takarada, not to mention that he is leading an army of teenagers to subjugate Kansai.
115	** Takaharu Fukuroda accuses Ryuko of mocking boxing by wearing a {{Stripperiffic}} uniform to [[DistractedByTheSexy distract him in battle]]. His defending the sacrosanct spirit of the sport is soon revealed to be a complete bull when it turns out his boxing glove is there to hide his metal PowerFist.
116	* ''Manga/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'': Belle gets concerned about Xion going with Roxas to fight Heartless, since she's an unarmed little girl. Cogsworth immediately points out that Belle was just going around Beast's Castle hunting Heartless herself, and she's less qualified due to lacking combat experience.
117	* ''Literature/KonoSuba'': Kazuma constantly criticizes Aqua for being useless, despite being quite lazy and hedonistic himself; he would rather flirt with girls than support his teammates in their time of need.
118	* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
119	** In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', [[spoiler:Admiral Gil Graham]] realizes that he is being a hypocrite by [[spoiler:regretting having to seal a young orphan like Hayate away for eternity with the Book of Darkness (yet considering her ideal in a sense because few would mourn her), and providing for her until then for the sake of her happiness, which implies the belief that it would offset sacrificing her]].
120	** Regius Gaiz complains about Riot Force 6 being led by Hayate, an ex-con ([[TakingTheHeat who'd taken the blame for what her knights had done without her knowledge or consent]]), while he [[spoiler:secretly works with Jail Scaglietti, the BigBad of the season]].
121	** The end of [[WhamEpisode episode 4]] of ''Anime/VividStrike'' has Nove make a joke about Einhart's actions at the beginning of ''[=ViVid=]'' to lighten the mood. Yes, the ''ex-terrorist'' is teasing somebody about having a dark past.
122	** The Huckebein frequently claim they're in the right, even while they maim fan-favorite characters and commit murders on a near incessant basis.
123	* ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'': Kyoko regularly taunts Rei about being dependent on, and subsequently ruining, families that he stays with (out of bitterness toward the awkward relationships between Kouda family's father and siblings as a result of Rei becoming Mr. Kouda's legal ward), especially in Chapter 35. At the same time, Kyoko herself is still dependent on her father financially despite being older, and is straining her relationship with her father even more all on her own.
124	* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'':
125	** Shikimi bashes other girls for using men to take them out on expensive dates; not long after that she outright extorts her date out of his hard-earned money in order to buy herself a really expensive dress. She also views herself as "more desirable" than Kiritaka’s mother, who she refers to as a "[[SlutShaming used auntie]]" over the video of his mother in a heavily edited porno. This coming from the same bitch who shamelessly [[HoneyTrap seduces other men into a badger scam]].
126	** Iijima calls out and cruelly mocks the people Shikimi lures into her HoneyTrap for [[ReallySeventeenYearsOld unknowingly attempting to have sex with a minor]]. Meanwhile, he has full knowledge of Shikimi's age and he is ''still'' shown touching and kissing her inappropriately while telling her that he loves her (the implication being that he is attempting to get into her pants or has already done so).
127	** After concluding that Kowase and Shikimi are dead, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes a grief-stricken Kinugawa]] decides that the only thing he can do is avenge them by murdering their killer. He says this to Maria, [[DramaticIrony who secretly wants him dead for killing her son]].
128	* The villains of ''Anime/MasterOfMartialHearts''. [[spoiler:Aya's fake friends rub it in her face that those who lost the tournament were mind raped into being sex slaves and she's to blame, despite that they were the ones who took advantage of it and caused said mind rapes. Also, they sought revenge on her for her parents causing their lives misery and grief with the original Martial Heart tournament... by bringing the tournament back.]]
129	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
130	** Monoma strongly feels that Class 1-A is cocky, especially after Bakugo's speech antagonizing him and his classmates in 1-B. The majority of Class 1-A are clearly not arrogant and were mortified by Bakugou's speech, yet it is Monoma who constantly boasts how superior he is, to the annoyance of ''his own'' classmates.
131	** Iida had to be talked down by Midoriya for his vigilante ways of trying to avenge his brother for what the Hero Killer, Stain did to him, yet when Bakugou gets kidnapped by the League of Villains, it's Iida who has to literally knock some sense into Midoriya for trying to stage a rescue against the heroes/teachers' safer judgement.
132	** Sir Nighteye looks down on Midoriya as an unworthy inheritor of All Might's power compared to Nighteye's own protégé Mirio, who is TheAce. [[JerkassHasAPoint He has a point about Mirio]], but he's conveniently forgetting that Mirio struggled to master his Quirk, had bad grades (Midoriya, however, is one of the top scorers on the midterm) and did poorly in the Sports Festival[[labelnote:Midoriya's Performance]]While Midoriya only barely managed to win against Shinso and lost to Todoroki, thus costing him the chance to get any internship offers, he was the first to get through the race. Compare that to how Mirio couldn't even keep his gym clothes on.[[/labelnote]]. Essentially, Mirio seemed almost as hopeless as Midoriya, except for not being Quirkless, but Nighteye made him into an excellent hero anyway.
133	** Overhaul is one big ball of villainous hypocrisy:
134	*** He mocks Shigaraki for losing several of his League of Villains' members, but he considers his yakuza followers expendable and he kills them for minor mistakes.
135	*** He wants to eradicate Quirks, but he uses his own Quirk to do so. Shigaraki calls him out on that before [[spoiler:taking Overhaul's arms, thereby leaving him unable to use his Quirk]].
136	*** He berates everyone for their small-mindedness when using their Quirks, but he himself uses his Quirk to murder people for petty reasons.
137	*** Disdains the idea of breathing the same air as everyone else without his mask and is willing to murder people just for touching him, [[spoiler:but when backed in a corner he has no trouble in absorbing someone else's genetic material into his body or breathing the same air as everyone else when his mask becomes his mouth.]]
138	** [[BigBad All for One]] mocked his brother Yoichi for thinking that he (All for One) would eventually be defeated by heroes like in the comic books they read, saying ThisIsReality -- yet it turns out he patterns his behaviour after the {{Big Bad}}s of those same comics under the belief that he was an invincible Demon Lord (and he never finished reading the comic books because he disliked seeing the BigBad being defeated by the heroes).
139	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
140	** [[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionAsukaLangleySoryu Asuka Langley Soryu]] has her moments:
141	*** She always criticizes Shinji for being useless, even though her own stubbornness, pride, and need to be the best so she can feel validated cause her to increasingly mess up missions as the series progresses.
142	*** She blames Shinji for their botched first kiss, claiming that he is rejecting her. While he did freeze up, her signals were convoluted and mixed; she didn't help things by pinching his nose shut so his breath wouldn't tickle her, which just suffocated him.
143	*** She treats all the boys around her with contempt and considers them perverts, yet she very clearly has a crush on her guardian, Kaji, and behaves in clingy, inappropriate ways when she is around him. In addition, she makes sure to wear a new swimsuit around Shinji and pressures him into their FirstKiss.
144	** Misato is greatly annoyed at the fact that Shinji has no personal stake in being an Evangelion pilot beyond the fact that doing so might please his father, but she herself is only invested in killing the Angels out of personal revenge and to please her now-dead father. However, it's implied that part of what makes her so angry at Shinji is that so many of his motivations mirror hers, and she encourages him to do it for himself.
145	* Given that ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' is set in a WorldOfJerkass, expect this from both villains ''and'' Heroes:
146	** Saitama himself usually has impeccable precision in finding out what a person lacks in order to have a more truthful and fulfilling life and without their heavy issues dragging them down, and so he has dished out basic advice on several key characters as the series progresses; however, Saitama isn’t very receptive of others trying to give him a tip on how to enrich his life of continuous boredom. For example, King gave a simple answer to his issue of feeling completely hollow as the strongest being in the world, unable to face any real challenge in his hero hobby: he could just take another hobby and start from zero all over in that new venture, and continue to try new things until he finds something to enjoy; Saitama completely ignores King’s advice.
147	** [[{{Jerkass}} Amai]] [[NominalHero Mask]] has no problem berating other heroes for not "living up to their responsibilities" despite frequently ignoring monster attacks to further his career as a singer/actor. [[spoiler:Played with in that he has a justification for his behavior; he considers his career as a singer/actor to be a part of his responsibilities for the sake of the Hero Association's PR.]]
148	** Tatsumaki gets mad when people call her a brat, yet [[IResembleThatRemark her attitude is exactly like that of a spoiled child]].
149	*** Blast told her to protect her sister. He also told her to never expect someone to save her. She always tries to save Fubuki even when Fubuki doesn't want her to and can handle it herself. In fact, she socially, mentally, and even physically isolates Fubuki. Also, Tatsumaki thinks she has to be self-reliant because no one will save her and that Fubuki '''can't''' be self-reliant because Tatsumaki has to save her, yet she refuses to help anyone else who begs for help and even mocks them. (To be scrupulously fair to Tatsumaki, there was a traumatic incident after Blast saved her that left her with a GuiltComplex over Fubuki; she might have had a slightly healthier attitude towards her sister otherwise.)
150	** [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Suiryu]] is very fond of mocking and taking others lightly because he's stronger than them, but the moment Saitama does the same to him, he gets pissed off. He also looks down on heroes as being condescending and self-serving while performing deeds in return for favors even though he's guilty of the same thing.
151	** [[spoiler:Despite the Neo Heroes' claim that the Hero Association is only built on appearances, their first goal is to improve their own PR and overtake the Hero Association. For this goal, they try to convince Pro Heroes to move over to Neo Heroes, some of their Neo-Leaders only got their position due to their popularity or influence and denied the Hero Association's request to work together to save more lives. According to Forte, he and others only hear the positives of the Neo Heroes.]]
152	*** From the same organization, [[spoiler:[[AxCrazy Ryumon]] calls Pro Heroes who fight with their own strength arrogant fools, which actually describes Neo Heroes better since many of them were shown as jerkasses with bloated egos due to the power they gained from the suits.]]
153	** Melzagard constantly insults the Heroes for being fragile targets, ignoring the fact he would have been killed instantly by an A-Rank Hero if not for his [[FromASingleCell regenerating abilities]].
154	** [[spoiler:Psykos, the real identity of Gyoro Gyoro despises humanity, turned several people into monsters, and leads an organization composed of monsters, but she never turned herself into one until forced to the GodzillaThreshold fighting Tatsumaki. Although as a super-powered psychic, she does already consider herself above human.]]
155	* ''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':
156	** In the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica 2011 anime]], Homura often scorns the other girls' idealism and sentimental reasons for [[DealWithTheDevil contracting]]...[[spoiler:yet is insanely dedicated to saving her LoveInterest from despair, and whose contract was spurred entirely by her need to preserve ''some'' happiness in the world]].
157	** Furthermore, Homura thinks that it would be worth any hardship to protect the person she loves. She espouses this belief at length during the third movie, right before [[spoiler:reversing Madoka's HeroicSacrifice (on behalf of ''every magical girl who has ever existed'') because she doesn't believe that Madoka made it willingly]]. [[note]]Admittedly, [[PoorCommunicationKills she has a good reason]] for thinking this, but hypocrisy still forms a big chunk of her motivations.[[/note]]
158	** ''VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory'': Despite their supposed mission to save magical girls from [[spoiler:becoming Witches]], the Wings of the Magius have no compunction over endangering them.
159	*** In Season 2 Episode 2, Yachiyo understandably blames the Wings of the Magius for [[spoiler:Iroha's demise (she got better)]] and takes out her anger on Mifuyu.
160	*** In Season 2 Episode 4, it is revealed that [[spoiler:magical girls who overuse their Doppel contract Doppel Syndrome, which causes them to fuse with their Doppels and turn into Witch-like creatures; Rena even says that "it's the same as being a Witch"]]. In Season 2 Episode 10, [[spoiler:Touka and Nemu proceed with awakening Embryo Eve]] even after Iroha warns them that [[spoiler:magical girls could contract Doppel Syndrome or witch out should that happen]]; the results aren't pretty.
161	*** At least Touka managed to called out Alina for trying to [[spoiler:create Witches (for her series finale plan to wipe out humanity) even though their mission was to stop the Witch cycle]].
162	* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': [[{{Tsundere}} Nino]] has a brief moment of this during the Seven Goodbyes arc. She rants to Miku that she cannot forgive Fuutarou for putting on a disguise (as his "cousin" Kintarou) to fool her. Miku quickly points out that [[TwinSwitch they and their other sisters do that all the time]] (and Nino herself had done it once to him).
163	* ''Anime/ReCreators'' has the Military Uniform Princess a.k.a Altair who, during the final battle against the other Creations, mocks one of them by saying that her powers won't work on her (Altair) because they're not integrated with her backstory and, as such, the audience won't accept them for being too far-fetched. This is being said by the in-universe VillainSue who can do basically everything for no clear reason (other than benefitting from fan works, which her "Holopscion" ability flawlessly weaponizes), including rewrite reality and nullify other characters' development and "plot twists". The in-universe audience as well, for bashing the other Creations but cheering on such an improbably all-powerful and broken character just because she's "cool" and "edgy".
164	* Touga from ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' fits this. He mistakenly believes his sister Nanami is a lesbian in the episode "Nanami's Egg" and gives her a lecture about how "evil" homosexuality is. At this point, he's sleeping with [[spoiler:Akio]].
165	** In the same episode, he also says that the reason that he and Nanami get along so well is because she's not the type of girl that lays eggs and that he pities the parents of a girl who would do that. Now, if you look at this as a metaphor for teen pregnant then it becomes clear that Touga is a hypocrite because he sleeps with so many different girls at the school and may have gotten more than one girl pregnant. Actually, it would be surprising if he managed to never knock anyone up during his high school career. So, this episode highlighted Touga's Jerkass hypocrisy.
166	* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'':
167	** In [=Capu2=] episode 8, Ruby spends most of her screen time chewing out the other girls for their skirts, going so far as to appoint herself the dress code monitor and force them to wear longer skirts, but is then revealed to have very risqué underwear herself; as pointed out by the other girls, Ruby has no room to lecture other people about dressing decently wearing ''that'' kind of underwear.
168	** In the manga, the members of Fairy Tale constantly go on about how HumansAreBastards and how their ultimate goal is to KillAllHumans for monster supremacy, and yet they spend just as much time killing their fellow monsters as they do humans, if not even more so.
169	** While beating Inner Moka to a pulp, Kuyou lists numerous negative traits as proof that HumansAreBastards, including lying, cheating, selfishness, and hurting others without caring. His reasoning falls flat when one realizes that he and his Security Committee have done all of those things and more and have abused their authority for God knows how long to make the other students miserable, as well as the fact that Kuyou is saying this after he just immolated Tsukune in cold blood right in front of the members of his UnwantedHarem and while he's beating Moka senseless.
170	** Gyokuro Shuzen once lambasted Akua for bringing her emotions into battle, explicitly calling her a disgrace to vampires. Gyokuro herself is ''ruled'' by her emotions, with literally ''every'' atrocity she commits being motivated by her IrrationalHatred of Akasha Bloodriver.
171	* In ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', Kana, a second-year, chides Yuuki, a first-year in high school, for not using honorifics on her, since Kana is older than Yuuki[[note]]Although Yuuki's from a different school, so she'd be expected to use -san rather than -senpai on Kana[[/note]]. Kana, however, doesn't use honorifics on Hisa, a third-year, due to being jealous of her closeness with Kana's close friend and senpai Mihoko, something Kana gets called out on.
172	* ''Manga/ASilentVoice'':
173	** Ishida's former best friends Shimada and Hirose assisted and/or watched as he tormented Shouko relentlessly, but once it came time for someone to take the fall for it, they pin the blame all on him. On top of this, they bully him afterwards in much the same way. Ishida couldn't make friends because Shimada spread the word that he was a bully—this, coming from the boy who is also a ''bully''.
174	** Kawai is a massive one, she happily calls out Ishida, Ueno and other classmates for bullying Shouko even though she contributed to torment and yet did nothing to stop herself. Years later unlike Ishida, Kawai refuses to accept to she ever bullied Shouko and has the gall to tell Ishida to face the truth even, though that’s exactly what she’s not doing. She even cries out on the argument on the bridge that she never insulted anyone, yet when Nagatsuka tries to calm her down she immediately calls him “a disgusting blob”.
175	** Ueno also has shades of this, as she furiously blames Shouko for turning her crush Ishida into an outcast and for splitting up their friendship group in elementary school. Yet Ueno herself hardly went out to bat for Ishida and just stood by as the class used him as a scapegoat when Shouko‘s mother Yaeko complained, she did feel guilty about it and apologized to him... several years after that fact. Ueno’s opinion of Shouko (triggered partly by [[ClingyJealousGirl jealousy]] thanks to her and Ishida getting close) is very hypocritical: her InnerMonologue reveals [[spoiler: she thinks Shouko is a BitchInSheepsClothing who just pretends to be sweet when she’s actually horrible, which ironically describes Ueno herself]]. She even calls Shouko and the things she does “creepy” which is very rich coming from someone who feverishly [[StalkerWithACrush stalks]] the boy they like, crawls into said boy’s bed [[spoiler: and initially refuses to get out and even [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kisses the boy (Ishida) when he’s in a coma]] and unable to complain.]]
176	* This is actually very common for many villains in ''Manga/SoulEater''. They often ridicule Lord Death for defining them as evil and needing to be killed, stating he shouldn't have the right to determine what souls are "evil". All the while, they're murdering innocent people, trying to drive the world into chaos, manipulating and deceiving others, and destroying property.
177	* In ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', Yubaba refuses to accept Chihiro into her bathhouse because in her words, Chihiro is a "spoiled, lazy crybaby [with] no manners". Shortly afterwards, Yubaba is interrupted by her baby, who she immediately coddles and pampers, and who fits Yubaba's description of Chihiro perfectly. Furthermore, she criticizes her employees for being greedy and attracting the wrong customer when {{Greed}} is one of Yubaba's defining characteristics.
178	* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'': Yuri Briar, Yor's younger brother, is an officer with Ostania's [[SecretPolice SSS]], whose job is to catch spies, traitors and other criminals. Yuri despises liars, but lies about his actual job, even to his sister, brother-in-law and niece, and feels justified in telling any and all lies for Yor's sake. When he learns that his niece lied while bragging about her recent cruise trip, he says, "Yeah, liars are trash", all the while mentally justifying his own lies (unaware that his niece can read his mind). There's also the moment earlier on when Yuri requested Yor and Loid kiss to prove they’re actually in love — then ''immediately freaks out'' and goes to intervene when Yor does go to kiss Loid after some LiquidCourage.
179	* In ''Manga/TheSummerYouWereThere'', Kaori arranges a meeting between her "girlfriend" Shizuku and her friend Ruri, whom Shizuku bullied in elementary school, so Shizuku can apologize. When Kaori notices that Shizuku is so anxious about the meeting she is practically sick to her stomach, Kaori proposes postponing the meeting, but Shizuku insists on going through with it, a decision Kaori respects. That's all well and good, but it soon turns out that Kaori has a respiratory disease that makes it difficult for her to even go out, and she brushes off her and Ruri's friend Seri when Seri expresses concern about it. In fact, Kaori collapses as Ruri and Seri are leaving, resulting in her being rushed to the hospital.
180	* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'':
181	** On one occasion, Asuna's FantasyForbiddingMother Kyouko forcibly disconnects Asuna's VR helmet for being late for dinner, not knowing she was about to log off, accusing her of "disrespecting the staff's efforts." In response, Asuna is sorely tempted to, but ultimately doesn't, remind Kyouko of several occasions where she herself was late for dinner, threw the meals out untasted, and forced the staff to make them again for her own convenience.
182	** During the climax of the Fairy Dance arc, Sugou/Oberon proves to be an utterly {{sadist}}ic {{Jerkass}} who gleefully subjects Kirito to ColdBloodedTorture, going so far as to [[AttemptedRape molest Asuna]] [[ForcedToWatch right in front of him]]. And yet, when Kirito [[PayEvilUntoEvil tortures him right back]] and kills him in-game, Sugou confronts him in real life and has the gall to tell Kirito that what he did was cruel.
183	** Sugou also takes the time to rant about being AlwaysSecondBest to Kayaba, declaring that Kayaba always acts "all high and mighty, like some big shot." This coming from the guy who treats everyone around him like crap, believes he's [[EntitledBastard entitled to do whatever he wants]], and openly declares himself a god.
184	** Similar to Sugou's first example, Kuradeel poisons the rest of his party with paralytic poison, kills Godfrey (as well as a RedShirt in the light novel), and starts torturing Kirito to death, taunting his victims about how he'll blame their deaths on a group of [=PKers=]. Asuna shows up, saves Kirito and almost kills Kuradeel, who [[ISurrenderSuckers tricks her by pleading for mercy]], only for Kirito to finish him off. With his dying breaths, he calls Kirito a "murderer."
185	* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'':
186	** [[SpoiledBrat Malty]] commits various evil acts throughout the story, but every time she's on the verge of getting any kind of punishment she'll blame someone else for it; as seen when Naofumi ordered her and Aultcray to be executed, she shouts that "that's tyrannical" and that a hero shouldn't be doing this to her. Naofumi calls her out on this.
187	** Aultcray tries to derail Naofumi for having a demi-human as a slave, but he allows demi-humans to be slaves in his country. Also, as he tries to make Naofumi's life as difficult as possible and deny him any assistance, he demands that Naofumi should tell him how he got so strong after seeing the [[DeadlyUpgrade Shield of Rage]] in action, despite seeing Naofumi as a useless liability (and still sees him as such).
188	** Motoyasu always tries to pin crap on Naofumi like being a cheater, mistreating his party members, or not accepting responsibilities for actions, when that's what he's really guilty of; and Naofumi has always tried to reason with him or make him see reality, which never helps as [[NeverMyFault Motoyasu is just a delusional hypocrite.]]
189	** Itsuki had the nerve to drop the iconic quote "WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility!" on Naofumi, [[HeroWithAnFInGood when it was really him who messed up]] by killing a noble who was overtaxing a village [[AttentionWhore just to get better publicity]] as the "ally of justice".
190	** [[AristocratsAreEvil Idol Rabier]] tortured, raped, and murdered demi-human slaves without any remorse or hesitation; but when he's on the receiving end at the hands of Raphtalia, he begs for his life like a pathetic coward despite not showing any mercy himself.
191	** [[HighPriest Biscas T. Balmus]] tries to pull a delusional statement that he is a follower of God, then goes on to say that he is God and that [[TautologicalTemplar anyone who opposes him is "evil"]], when he's committing evil deeds by his own church -- which is really a cult. He even calls out the royals for taking advantage of commoners, when he was taking advantage of them along with the royals as well for his own gain.
192	** [[InsufferableGenius Kyo]] belittles his enemies for their mistakes in battle, but his attacks are predictable and easy to see through.
193	** Tact believes that any woman on the opposite side is brainwashed and must be "saved", when he's the one brainwashing most of the women he supposedly freed, even killing their families if they resist him.
194	* In the AnimatedAdaptation of ''VisualNovel/TogainuNoChi'', Akira becomes this near the finale. [[spoiler: When he saves Rin from Shiki, he tells Rin to forget about killing Shiki because it's not worth it. Later on, Shiki kills Keisuke and Akira tries to kill him. [[IronicEcho Rin tells him the same thing.]] Akira doesn't listen to him at the end and returns to Toshima to kill Shiki.]]
195	* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'':
196	** Touka repeatedly berates Kaneki for his selfish actions and even goes so far as to physically assault him for it, while forgetting that her obsession with revenge on the [[HunterOfMonsters CCG]] caused all manner of problems for Anteiku.
197	** Kaneki's [[MissingMom late mother]] repeatedly drilled into her own son that it's "[[ExtremeDoormat better to be hurt than to hurt others]]," but the sequel reveals that [[spoiler:she herself failed to take her own advice and was prone to flying into rages and [[AbusiveParents physically abusing Kaneki]].]]
198	* ''Anime/TokyoMewMew'': Early in the series, Minto constantly scolds Ichigo for not pulling her weight at work, even though she herself rarely helped out in the cafe, preferring to sit and sip tea instead.
199	* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'':
200	** Monev the Gale considers Vash “chicken shit” for running away during their confrontation. When Monev manages to successfully [[GlowingEyesOfDoom piss]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes Vash off]] after killing heaps of innocent bystanders and is about to be killed, Monev himself dissolves into a blubbering DirtyCoward begging for Vash to spare his life.
201	** Knives is a big hypocrite himself, he constantly derides Vash for being a weak crybaby who succumbs to pathetic human emotions believing himself above such things. Not true at all, as Knives has a massive hissy fit over Vash ''daring'' to shoot him (even though he has a HealingFactor) showing he’s just as prone to petty emotions. He’s also outwardly disgusted with Vash connecting with humans, yet isn’t above forming alliances with humans (creating the Gung-Ho-Guns) himself. Worst of all his FreudianExcuse over his his race the Plants [[TheyWouldCutYouUp were treated]], but in the manga Knives absorbs other Plants into his own body just to increase his own power, on top of abusing his own brother and fellow Plant Vash whenever he can.
202	* ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'': King-Il hated weapons and violence. However, according to Soo-Won, King-Il killed his own brother Yu-hon (Soo-Won's father) with a weapon.
203	* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
204	** Noah, the apparent BigBad of the Virtual Nightmare Arc of [[Anime/YuGiOh the original series]] is the most obvious example. He mercilessly punished his minions for cheating and not following the rules, but blatantly did so himself when dueling Kaiba, using Mokuba as a human shield when he was about to lose. Yami rightfully calls him out on this.
205	** When Yami duels Johnny Steps, Johnny plays monsters that are different types from each other. Yami calls him out on not having a real deck theme. While Yami had a point that Johnny's deck was full of cards that were chosen for being aesthetically pleasing instead of concentrating on winning, Yami had a deck with a hodgepodge of monsters as well. (This is only in the dub. In the original, Yami says he's using "fan cards" that duelists never use seriously; when Johnny uses Witch of the Black Forest - a potentially powerful card - he changes his mind and thinks he's gotten serious.)
206	** [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]]
207	*** Minor example involves Kaiba in Battle City. After Yugi defeats Strings, Marik gloats, telling Yugi that his plans involve targeting his friends. Yugi then runs to find them, ignoring the challenge that Kaiba made. Kaiba grumbles that refusing a challenge is a violation of Battle City rules. The problem is, Kaiba himself did that when he prematurely cancelled the duel that Jonouchi challenged him to in order to rush to this very battle (meaning it was likely only an hour earlier, despite being about three episodes ago). Apparently, cancelling on account of an emergency is only a good reason when it's ''his'' emergency.
208	*** Another example involving Kaiba came during his duel with Gozaburo during the Virtual Nightmare Arc. Kaiba gave a brief TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in which he told Gozaburo that his deck was focusing too much on a single monster, and little synergy. (Kaiba was giving him too much credit; Gozaburo's strategy was ''nothing'' except "summon Exodia Necross and attack with it", trying to draw on Kaiba's fear of Exodia.) Unfortunately, this was sort of a BrokenAesop coming from Kaiba, who spent all of Battle City before this point (and much of it afterwards) relying mostly on [[PhysicalGod Obelisk the Tormentor]], modeling his deck on ways to summon the God Card quicker. Even without Obelisk, Kaiba's all about his Blue Eyes White Dragons.
209	** Another example with Kaiba. He chastises Yami Yugi for being hung up on his past instead of focusing on the present and now when Kaiba refuses to let go of his own past losses against Yugi or his memories of Gozaburo's abuse. Gets even more emphasis in ''The Dark Side of Dimensions'' when Kaiba is the one who refuses to believe that Atem has moved onto the afterlife and is determined to settle their rivalry whereas Yugi, who initially didn't want to complete the Ceremonial Duel to lose his friend, has since made peace with it and urges Kaiba to do the same.
210	* A smaller example is Keith from the manga ''Manga/YuGiOhR''. When Jonouchi uses a card called Summon Capture in their duel, Keith becomes angry, implying that the card is broken and overpowered. While most would agree that it is, Keith not only blatantly cheated in their first duel in Duelist Kingdom, but used a card called The Pillager that was a lot like Summon Capture, but probably even ''more'' broken.
211	* From ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'':
212	** Manjyome dueled off against the five upper-classmen of North Academy, who mocked him by calling him an amateur and the Giant Rat he summoned a weak monster. While Manjyome was indeed using a makeshift deck to replace his destroyed one, not only did these five supposed upper classmen not know about Giant Rat's effect (it's a very common and widely-used card) they themselves had pulled a Marauding Captain Lock, one of TheOldestTricksInTheBook in regards to the game. Manjyome beat them easily.
213	** A similar situation came up in season two during his duel with Obelisk Snob Reginald Van Howel III (a more generic name for a spoiled rich kid, there ain't). Reginald mocked him and his deck, calling it lame (despite using little more than a Toolbox Warrior one himself) and calling him a "a nasty, stuck-up snob" (Reggie was even worse. This was dub only, however; in the original, he was more respectful.)
214	** Edo Phoenix absolutely cannot tolerate anyone looking down on or disrespecting his Destiny Hero cards, yet he frequently looks down on and disrespects other people's cards, especially Judai Yuki's Elemental Hero cards.
215	* In the manga version of ''Manga/YuGiOhGX'' [[TheDragon Reggie [=MacKenzie=]]] expresses disgust at one point how sadistic her colleague David Rabb is being towards an opponent in a Shadow Duel... And later proves capable of even worse cruelty in one towards Midori Hibiki. (Made worse by the fact that [[spoiler:Reggie is NotBrainwashed like most of [[BigBad Tragodia's]] servants are, and she's the one responsible for the comatose state that Hibiki's brother is in.]]
216	* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds''.
217	** Mild example, Jack Atlas. Even after his HeelFaceTurn, he gets ''very'' upset whenever people steal his things (even his cup ramen) or even borrow them without asking (like when Crow borrows his D-Wheel). This from a guy who previously became an outright thief in order to escape Satellite.
218	** Another mild example, one-shot villain Rudolph Heitmann. This guy blames his students' poor grades on low-Level cards (including Tenpei's "Batteryman AA" and Rua's Morphtronic Remoten, both Level 3), and yet, has three copies of a ''Level 2'' monster in his own deck. (Yeah, he used them to summon three copies of Ancient Gear Golem, but then, that's what ''almost everyone'' tends to use low-level cards for in [=5Ds=]).
219	* Mamoru Jinguji was a minor character in ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' (only appearing in one episode) but may have been the worst example of this Trope in the entire franchise. As the Student Council President of Heartland Academy, he was adamant about school rules being followed, but he blatant broke a lot of them himself by enforcing them, forcing Yuma into a duel with house rules that would be considered outright cheating, such as making Takashi – who he duped into working for him – force Yuma to return his monsters to his hand for dress code violations. Then it got worse. When Yuma tried to avoid breaking this “rule” by Equipping Gagaga Girl with a Spell Card that covered her, he countered it (that would be considered entrapment by any actual legal authority) then insisted Yuma be punished for “assaulting” him (meaning attacking directly, even though Mamoru did the exact same thing to Yuma just five minutes earlier). And to make this even worse, he used monsters [[LightIsNotGood that resembled Shinto priests to do this]]. (Of course, you have to forgive him for all this, seeing as he was a BrainwashedAndCrazy pawn of the Barians, but it didn’t make the whole thing any less demented.)
220	* In ''Manga/YuriIsMyJob'', Sumika calls Kanoko out on her jealousy towards Mitsuki- Kanoko was Hime's OnlyFriend until Hime reconciled with Mitsuki, whom she'd met before Kanoko, [[LoveTriangle and both Kanoko and Mitsuki have feelings for Hime]]- and warns her that Hime may eventually come to hate her if Kanoko can't get along with Mitsuki. While [[HypocriteHasAPoint Sumika isn't wrong to say this]], she doesn't acknowledge that she was passive-aggressive toward her friend Nene's girlfriend Yoko from the very beginning, causing friction before Sumika and Nene. [[ProperlyParanoid While Yoko turned out to be abusive and manipulative]], Sumika's animosity toward Yoko had only been based on a GutFeeling at the time. What's more, Sumika eventually realizes that she's in love with Kanoko, and thus becomes jealous of Hime for having Kanoko's unrequited love.
