History AssholeVictim / AnimeAndManga

** Komurosaki aka [[spoiler: Kozuki Hiyori]] is introduced as a BitchInSheepsClothing GoldDigger who had made multiple men go into poverty trying to woo her, which gets them exiled from the Flower Capital at the point of the local police's spears. Then a few chapters later after we learn about who she is behind her mask and alongside that it's revealed that the three men used as an example for her scams were a serial arsonist who paid off authorities for clemency, a fire-repair lumber company who gouged their prices, and a bogus priest and undertaker who would also gouge families who lost loved ones in the arsonist's fires. When Nami and Usopp are told of the fates of the three men in the destitute Ebisu Town, they outright call it justice and karma finally catching up to them.

* ''Manga/MagicalGirlSite'': Since nearly everyone in this series is either an asshole or a psychopath, this happens frequently.
** In the first freaking chapter, the protagonist, Aya, is graphically abused by her classmate Sarina and two of her cronies, who tell Aya that she should go kill herself, stuff her locker full of razor blades, cover her desk in glue and obscenities, physically abuse and torture her, nearly kill her by drowning her in a toilet, and gruesomely murder her pet kitten by throwing it in front of a train. The next day, they enlist one of their upperclassman friends to "take Aya's first time". The would-be rapist and one of the girls, Erika, get what's coming to them when a desperate Aya uses her magical stick for the first time. Said stick being a teleportation gun that teleports them to the train tracks where Aya's cat was killed; the two end up splattered all over.
** Sarina has done nothing but make poor Aya's life a living hell since they met in junior high. Her reason? She initially tried to help Aya out when she transferred into her school, but Aya was too shy and scared to even thank her. Sarina thinks that weak people like her are worthless and don't even deserve to live. When two of her friends are killed by a train while attempting to rape Aya, she is beyond livid. Missing the point entirely that her friends were horrible monsters who deserved what they got and playing the role of the victim, she assaults Aya and plans to slit her throat with a box cutter. Fortunately for Aya, their classmate Yatsumura saves her by stopping time with her stick and repositioning Sarina's arm so that, upon Yutsumura's magic wearing off, she slits her own throat instead. Sarina survives, albit with a nasty scar across her neck, but you can't really say that she hadn't had it coming for years by this point.
** Aya's brother, Kaname, is a heartless bastard with a God-complex who thinks all humans are trash and sees his little sister as nothing more than a punching bag for him to take out his frustration on over his father's abuse. He regularly abuses Aya so badly that, by the start of the story, she's worried that his repeated beatings to her stomach have messed her insides up so badly that she will no longer be able to menstruate or have children. Later on, he only gets worse by [[spoiler: manipulating Aya's mentally unstable and insane friend/ally Nijimi into thinking that he loves her and is a good big brother]] and then later [[spoiler: stealing her magical stick (a pair of mind-control panties).]] [[spoiler: He then uses Nijimi's stick to attack Aya and her fellow magical girl allies and nearly kills them all.]] So it's hard to pity him when Kichiro Misumi, the police officer in charge of investigating the mysterious deaths of young girls in the area [[spoiler: who were massacered by the magical Girl Site's administrators]], turns out to be [[spoiler: a serial killer and rapist of magical girls and]] [[spoiler: kidnaps, tortures, and repeatedly rapes Kaname.]]
** Kichiro becomes this himself. After [[spoiler: torturing and raping Kaname,]] Kaname eventually turns the tables on him by [[spoiler: slashing him with a shard of broken glass and burning his house down.]]
** Yatsumura's mother, father, and unborn sibling were all [[spoiler: brutally stabbed to death by a robber who only left her alive so that he could find her once she was older and more attractive and "have some fun with her" before killing her.]] Once Yatsumura is given a stick with the power to stop time by the Magical Girl Site, she takes her revenge by [[spoiler: kidnapping him, holding him prisoner, and torturing him on for months.]] [[spoiler: The guy's misery only ends once he's sliced in half by a pissed-of Sarina, who was trying to kill Aya and Yatsumura in Yatsumura's apartment]]
** Sayuki Ringa is a Yakuza heiress who was once held held prisoner by a rival yakuza clan. She was [[spoiler: kept chained to a bed for months and it's heavily implied that she was repeatedly raped and tortured during this time.]] Once she made a contract with the Magical Girl Site and received her katana magical stick [[spoiler: she used it to slaughter all over her captors.]] Unfortunately, unlike most of the other examples in this series, the fact that they deserved it doesn't cut Sayuki a break; [[spoiler: the police were able to track the murders back to her, and her mother was sentenced to life in prison after she willingly took the fall for her daughter]]
* ''Manga/MagicalGirlSpecOpsAsuka'': Chisato's [[AbusiveParent poor excuse of a father]] who repeatedly told her that she should've died in the accident that killed his wife. He then tried to have her become a prostitute but when she was rejected because she was a minor, the guy took his frustration out on her by trying to ''beat her to death''. (And bear in mind, the poor girl was '''crippled''' at the time and had ''no way'' of actually defending herself) So the bastard totally deserved to have his head crushed at the hands of the magical mercenary.
* All of the people who die in ''Manga/MantisWoman'' are really mean-spirited people. Bullies. Teachers who love to give extra hard tests [[ForTheEvulz just because they can.]] A family of psychopathic self-appointed MoralGuardians with a very final solution to people breaking even the slightest rule.

** Haruto Iijima made fortune by scamming men with Shikimi and beating them up until they agreed to give them money. [[spoiler:Since Maria left him off for a week, she discovered on the news he was found dead. Although Maria previously [[EveryoneHasStandards spared him because he was not involved in her son's death]], that does not take away the fact that he probably ruined other lives with Shikimi, and his death, while horrifying, is well deserved.]]

*** The genocide of the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta. [[EvilerThanThou Even though he was worse]], in the long run, Frieza may have done the universe a favor rectifying his GoneHorriblyRight use of the Saiyans. [[note]] Obviously this doesn’t include certain gentle natured Saiyans like Gine, Goku’s sweet mother who ''absolutely'' [[KillTheCutie didn’t deserve]] getting atomized by Frieza.[[/note]] In fact, after his HeelFaceTurn ''Vegeta himself'' admits they kinda had it coming in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' and it's shown that if Frieza didn't do it, DestroyerDeity Beerus would've to maintain the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil.

* In ''Manhua/GoddessCreationSystem'' [[spoiler:the queen]] is forced to commit suicide after [[spoiler:Ping Yang Hou's coup]] and it's kind of sad, especially since [[spoiler:she was his actual sister]] and seemed to have grudgingly accepted Xiaxi tutoring the prince. However, afterward it's revealed that she had [[spoiler:her brother's wife assassinated as well as Mingluan's mother]] because she didn't like them getting above their station.

* Practically ''every'' single antagonist in ''Manhua/IronLadies'' classifies as this, being scumbags, war criminals, wannabe rapists and mass murders. Of all antagonists only ''two'' have had redeeming qualities, and they suffered from RedemptionEqualsDeath, all others are complete assholes who got what they deserved.

*** In the anime, Van Zant, a TriggerHappy [[AxCrazy lunatic]], and his pal Smitty certainly qualify. They kill numerous people for no reason other than that [[ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse the world is being destroyed, so they might as well]], only for one of them to decide to try and kill Fat Buu because he wants to kill more people. They shoot Hercule and [[KickTheDog Bee]] and anger Fat Buu into creating another entity who becomes the new antagonist. The ''very'' first thing Evil Buu/Super Buu does is [[DisintegratorRay obliterate]] Van Zant with a WaveMotionGun technique, while Smitty gets quite possibly the most brutal death in the series, which involves Super Buu [[OrificeInvasion shooting down his throat]] and causing him to swell up until he ''explodes''.

''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbow'': Mr. Pettywell is RichBitch who's frequently rude and abusive to his housekeeper and servants. Thus it's hard to feel bad for him when Adam, one of his former staff, teams up with a gang of robbers to steal his money.

* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': In this story, a teenage boy was driven to suicide by a Group of bullies in the mother getting revenge on the bullies. The reason you root for the mother Maria destroying the bullies in some absolutely terrifying ways is that speaking plainly, there is nothing even remotely sympathetic about them.
** Tsubasa Kowase is a remorseless blackmailer who exploits girls and harasses them; he also likes to torture his victims by drowning them in water. His fate of being drowned is very much deserved. His final moments showed how much of a degraded scumbag he is, not being able to remember the day or mouth his victim died and fighting for a future where he can continue to blackmail women and get rich off his victims, with him failing to cut off his hand and drowning in horror.
** Kumiru Shikimi showed herself to be a remorseless manipulative bitch who likes to blackmail people and frame them for crimes; for example, she lies about her age so she can use the dating app to date older men and blackmail them for money by revealing her true age. She also framed her innocent classmate as a pervert so their classmates could ostracize him. It is made clear that Kumiru Shikimi does not care for the lives she has ruined. So her being exposed as the liar she is by her classmates and her eventual fate of dying in a well and being eaten by insects is very deserved. Any sympathy given to her for how horrifying her fate is and the terror she experiences is destroyed when she shows that she is remorseless about her victim to death in front of her victim's mother.

** In ''Diamond and Pearl'', Hunter J's ship is hit by two Future Sights by Uxie and Mesprit, causing it to crash into Lake Valor and explode underwater with its entire crew still aboard. Given that J has been responsible for some of the worst acts by a villain (capturing Pokemon by petrification to sell them on the black market, [[BadBoss sacrificing some of her own men]] just so she can make a clean getaway, and WouldHurtAChild to those getting in her way), no one is mourning her certain death.

* ''Manga/MagicalGirlSpecOpsAsuka'': Chisato's [[AbusiveParent poor excuse of a father]] tried to have her become a prostitute. But when she was rejected because she was a minor, the guy took his frustration out on her by trying to ''beat her to death''. (And bear in mind, she was '''crippled''' at the time and had ''no way'' of actually defending herself) So the bastard totally deserved to have his head crushed at the hands of the magical mercenary.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'': The scientists, especially Dr. Fuji, at New Island's laboratory are self-congratulatory when they create Mewtwo, boasting in front of the Pokémon that they saw it as nothing more than a science experiment. This doesn't sit well with Mewtwo, who kills them all when he breaks free and destroys the lab (Giovanni very ''narrowly'' avoids this fate when he boasts about using Mewtwo for war, which makes things worse). Given how Mewtwo almost managed to destroy all of humanity later on, their deaths were absolutely well-deserved.

* ''Manga/MagicalGirlSpecOpsAsuka'': Chisato's [[AbusiveParent poor excuse of a father]] tried to have her become a prostitute. But when she was rejected because she was a minor, the guy took his frustration out on her by trying to ''beat her to death''. (And bear in mind, she was bound to a wheelchair at the time, so she had ''no way'' of actually defending herself) So the bastard totally deserved to have his head crushed at the hands of the magical mercenary.

* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'': Yuri Briar, who's Yor's younger brother, is a member of Ostania's SSS and is determined to catch Westalis spies like Yor's husband Loid Forger, aka Agent Twilight, which makes him an antagonist. However, the first traitor Yuri is shown interrogating and forcing to confess is a man who passes along secrets to the enemy [[OnlyInItForTheMoney in order to fund]] his extramarital affairs and tries to downplay his actions by describing them as merely passing along scraps of paper. As ruthless as Yuri can be, having his first target be a man like this helps prevent him from being too unsympathetic.
