Bully Hunters in Fan Works.


Crossovers
  • Ragna in BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant is shown to have a massive hatred for bullies, relentlessly beating them down and threatening them for their actions. However, it gets deconstructed in Chapter 20 where, after stopping Team CRDL from bullying Velvet, his actions almost get Cardin killed and he's punished alongside Team CRDL for his actions. Though he acknowledges that he went too far and promises not to do so again.
  • Deconstructed in Cinders and Ashes: the Chronicles of Kamen Rider Dante. While Hoshi doesn't do the hunting himself, he writes a fanfic where his OC is the one beating up caricatures of people who bullied a friend of his to suicide. Realizing his recent chapters were nothing but this (soon followed by realizing he modeled his OC's arch-nemesis after a friend who he hated at the time) put Hoshi into a Heroic BSoD and even had some people call him out over it.
  • In Fairy Tail/One Piece crossover The Dragon That Will Pierce the Heavens, protagonist Hikari shows a deep hatred for anyone who would use their strength or influence to hurt or oppress those weaker than themselves. This comes up in the very first chapter, where she attacked Alvida over her poor treatment of Koby.
  • In crossover fanfiction Echoes of Yesterday, Kara can't stand bullies, which is because she scares Sophia and her cronies away when she correctly identifies her as the person who shoved Taylor into the locker, and later she's more than eager to pounce on Hookwolf.
    Earth Bet may have been in a different dimension, but it was still Earth. And just like on my Earth, I wasn't afraid of a so-called monster like this. This man, whoever he was, was a bully. More than likely he stood high in an organization that preached hatred and intolerance based on a person's skin color. What's more, it was clear he abused his power and position to force animals to kill each other for the entertainment of himself and others. A bully that happened to be made of knives, but a bully still.
    And if there was one thing I couldn't stand, it was bullies. Which is probably why he was surprised when I charged at him, and leapt at his face, more than ready to rumble.
  • In the Worm/Symphogear crossover Glassbreaker: Superb Song of the Valkyries, Taylor Hebert is a toned down example. She doesn't go seeking out bullies, but if she catches one in the act, she will stop them. Ironic, since in Worm canon, she was a massive Bully Magnet.
  • The Many Dates of Danny Fenton:
    • Makoto defends Danny from Dash and his pals, putting them through physical pain until they leave him alone.
    • Kara Kent hates bullies and restrained Dash when he tried to attack Danny. Also, when she learns about Mr. Lancer's Double Standard regarding his students, she calls him out for being a bad teacher and threatens to report on him.
    • In the spin-off: Kim Possible defends her boyfriend from his bullies.
  • In Ponyville goes to the...dragons??: Due to her upbringing, Cynder absolutely hates people who pick on the weak, and comes to Sweetie Belle's aid when she hears her being picked on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon by scaring them off. Ends up coming back to bite her in the tail when Rarity uses her threats towards them as an example of the dragons being dangerous to bring the Canterlot royal guards to Ponyville in an attempt to get rid of Ember.
  • A Possible Encounter for a Phantom: Kim Possible personally manhandles Dash Baxter for harming Danny Fenton. Him hitting on her only makes her hurt him more.
  • In Roanapur Connection, Oboro mentions in her POV chapter, "Father, Son and the Mother Hen", that Natsumi Sumeragi is one of these, and is the reason why she and Haru are friends, having stood up for him when they were teenagers.
  • A Wand for Skitter: Taylor becomes one, unwilling to let herself or anyone else suffer from being bullied anymore.

Cardcaptor Sakura

  • In Shadow of the Dragon, Syaoran and Meiling beat up Satome and his goons in defense of their friends, with Syaoran explicitly warning Satome that if he does anything to hurt Sakura or the others, he will make sure they never find his body.

Danny Phantom

  • In the Facing the Future Series, much like her big brother, Danielle uses her ghost powers to strike a blow against bullies in her school, only to end up in worse trouble than when Danny did the same.

Dead or Alive

  • Kunoichis Like Us: Alex and Kasumi's friendship really kicks off when she helps him fight off a group of bullies in Chapter 2. Likewise, she's also beaten up Daisuke and his gang and threatened Ayane when the respective groups threaten him.

Discworld

  • In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, bullies at the Assassins' Guild School soon discovered Rivka ben-Divorah is not to be messed with. A slow-learning member of the upper classes, the Honourable Pamela Eorle, has to learn this repeatedly. School nurse Matron Igorina is kept occupied with "small medical tasks that combine a remarkably large amount of pain and discomfort with very little lasting physical damage". Do not impugn Rivka's ethnicity or religion. The title of Scary Mary for a female pupil who is not to be rendered angry could have been invented for her. At the current point on the cycle, Rivka has graduated, but a lower-school pupil with the name of Emma Roydes appears to have inherited the office of Scary Mary.
    • And then Famke Cornelia Smith-Rhodes-Stibbons arrived. With a classmate called Cassandra Venturi - who discovered why School Bullying was not going to be her vocation. Ever. Within her first term, the eleven-year-old Tykebomb delivered several memorable and instructive beatdowns to would-be bullies.

Doctor Who

  • In Epistolary: The Fifty Years Before We Were Born, Rory, in a letter to River Song, reflects on how he met Amy. During primary school years, Rory was being hogtied by two school bullies, when a sudden red-haired hurricane took down the two bullies and untied Rory, thus bringing about the beginning of one of the great love stories in Doctor Who history.
    "My point is, when a demanding, headstrong, bully-thrashing Scottish girl rescues you, you kinda know what you're in store for."

Elfen Lied

Hetalia: Axis Powers

  • Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità: Germany and Japan will hunt down anyone who tries to hurt Italy. God help you if you actually did hurt him. Just ask the homophobe and the bully.

The Loud House

  • In Requiem for a Loud, Ronnie Anne adopts this attitude and defends Lucy against a boy bullying her.

Love Hina

Miraculous Ladybug

  • In the wake of "Chameleon", a common plotline for "Salt Fics" Deconstructs this, with Lila Playing the Victim Card and turning most, if not all of their classmates against Marinette by convincing them that she's been bullying her. This causes her former friends to become the very thing they're decrying, tormenting Marinette while insisting that they're only "getting justice" for her supposed crimes.
  • The titular group in The Cosmos got their start this way. In fact, the three founding members met when Marinette saved Chloé from a kidnapping attempt, with Rose witnessing the whole thing and finding it badass. The other two members, meanwhile, met them when the Power Trio saw Alix repeatedly harassing Nathaniel and mistook it as more meanspirited than she meant it to be, going after her full-force.
  • The Wolves in the Woods:
    • This is Alya, Alix and Kim's self-justification for tormenting Marinette; however, this is just a lie they're telling themselves. In truth, they're only targeting Marinette in order to curry favor with Lila, expecting to be repaid for their 'noble efforts' by Lila using her 'celebrity connections' to secure rewards like exclusive interviews and sport scholarships.
      • Their stance is further undermined by the eventual reveal that Alya knew all along that Lila wasn't telling the truth, but seized the opportunity as an excuse to torment and terrorize Marinette in hopes of wrecking her self-esteem and breaking her back down into an Extreme Doormat dependent upon Alya's 'friendship' and support.
    • Played straighter by the younger Iberian Heroes, who transfer into Francoise Dupont the same day that Marinette transfers out. Amaia, Andres and Ben subsequently make it their mission to expose the injustice and corruption going on in the school and force the bullies to face some Laser-Guided Karma.

My Hero Academia

  • Apex Predator: Izuku is incredibly traumatized from being a bullying victim since he was four years old, so when he goes to UA he decides to crack the social game and make absolutely certain that no bullies will be present in UA. His methods range from stalking to giving people A Taste of Their Own Medicine, to even illegally requesting school files from other students. He's also very subtle about it, so while other students know he can get you expelled, there is no proof he did it. This is one of the many things that contribute to Izuku's reputation as The Dreaded.
  • but you gotta get up at least once more: Tamanaha Chiaki, who runs the dojo Izuku attends, refuses to tolerate any kind of abuse. When one of her own students starts bullying Izuku, she boots the offender out.
  • Coyote: Riley is a Karmic Trickster fond of targeting bullies, both the younger kind and adults who abuse their authority.
  • Crimson and Emerald: Ashido used to be one at her old school, and is none too happy about Katsuki's presence at U.A., outright refusing to have anything to do with him.
  • If I Only Had A Heart: Mashi is quick to defend Izuku from anyone who demeans him for being Quirkless, like Kaito and his gang, and is flummoxed by how Izuku wants to continue being friends with Katsuki.
  • With Confidence: Inko and Mitsuki first met this way, when Inko threatened to rip the wings right off of one of Mitsuki's bullies. After learning what her son has been doing, Mitsuki's first words to Inko on the matter are asking her not to kill him.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

  • Deconstructed in Why Am I Crying?; no thanks to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Scootaloo really hates bullies. However, she also believes that all bullies are born evil and are incapable of changing their ways, criticizes her father, who was bullied himself in school, for not standing up for himself, and even acts coldly to her kindhearted teacher Miss Cheerilee when she learns that she was her father's former bully. It takes learning of Cheerilee's past and Diamond Tiara's Dark and Troubled Past to get Scoots to see that bullies can change for the better, and she is advised to let go of her hatred lest she become a bully herself when she enters middle school, where her best friends won't be with her to keep her in check.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

  • Catarina Claes MUST DIE!:
    • Catarina's willingness to step in and defend Maria, Francine and Emily results in her developing a reputation as somebody who refuses to let others be bullied, and inspires Samantha to follow her example, defending others when Catarina's not around. It's said that Catarina's influence has helped dissolve the toxic social cliques that the academy has long been infamous for.
    • Henrietta fancies herself to be one as well, intent upon ensuring that Catarina meets an inglorious end for all her bullying... despite how this Catarina is nothing like the one from Fortune Lover, something Henrietta refuses to accept.

Naruto

The Octonauts

  • Junior Officers: After being expelled from her previous school for fighting, Sarabi kept in the good graces of her new school's principal by directing them towards the bully students by snapping pictures of them with her phone. This seems to have been successful, as Sarabi was able to graduate and become an Octonaut. Even after joining, she still shows shades of this, as she resents the invasive lampreys in the Mackenzie River for feeding off the whitefish.

The Owl House

  • In Boscha Noceda, Boscha is incredibly protective of her little sister Luz, and prone to getting into fights with anyone who tries tormenting her. As they get older, she tries limiting this to just yelling at the jerks to back off; however, her frustration over this approach not working eventually boils over into a full-out fistfight that gets her suspended a week before the school year ends.

  • Roar of the LION:
    • Ovan is first introduced fighting off a group of anti-Faunus bullies who were harassing a dog Faunus.
    • In chapter 10, when he sees Naomi being harassed by Cardin and his team, Leon personally steps in and threatens to shoot him with his arrows if he doesn't back off. Cardin proves to be a Paper Tiger, and wets his pants before fleeing.
    • Immediately after his run-in with Leon, Coco gets in on the act, hitting Cardin in the crotch with her handbag before walking off, warning him not to torment Velvet or any other Faunus again.

Sailor Moon

  • Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon: This is one of the reasons why Usagi winds up getting into a lot of fights. Such as attacking guys who'd made fun of Naru's hair, or choking a would-be Alpha Bitch who mocked Jun's weight.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

  • You Even Taste Like Glitter: After Bow came out as trans, Glimmer made a point of protecting him from anyone who might have harassed him about it. She also steps up to defend Catra a few times.

Star Trek

  • In Once Upon a Farmhouse, Spock first meets Kirk when the latter jumps on a classmate who is beating Spock up.

Total Drama

  • Eva, of all people (given that one of her labels is "The Female Bully") has this attitude in Total Drama Underdogs, as she shows zero tolerance for Heather's underhanded tactics (even if they're on different teams) or Duncan's relentless bullying.

Touken Ranbu

Worm

  • Intrepid: After stopping an abusive father during her first night acting as a hero, Madison states she can't stand bullies. Bitterly, she notes the irony that she used to be one.
  • In Alternate Universe Quicken, when Emma suspects that her best friend Taylor is being bullied, she is NOT amused (ironically since in the canon story she was a bully).

X-Men

  • In X-Men: The Early Years, Scott Summers won't put up with bullies.
    Bruno: While Little-Miss-Goodie-Two-Shoes is gone, I'm going to make myself perfectly clear. Make sure you keep yourself and your pet away from me. Mess with me, and you're both going to regret it.
    Bobby: Hey, jerk!
    Scott: Bobby. Let me handle this. Since we are making ourselves perfectly clear, Bruno, let me tell you how it is. You're going to be polite and respectful to everyone going on this trip. You're also going to leave Bobby and me alone.
    Bruno: Or?
    Scott: Or I'm going to wipe the ground with you, punk. I'm tired of your insult throwing, bad attitude, delinquent wannabe, whiney-ass, momma's boy, country-music-reject, self, already. If you don't behave, I'm going to take the nearest blunt object, something close to the size of Warren, Hank, and their tents and stuff it up your largest body crevice. I don't like bullies and I won't tolerate them. Bullies tend to bring out the worst in me. Did I make myself perfectly clear to you Bruno?
    Bruno: I'm supposed to be worried about that threat?
    Scott: Try me.
