So {{The Hero}} is on his {{Roaring Rampage of Revenge}}, and finds the man who killed his [[{{Mentors}} Mentor]], his Loved One, his SidekickCreatureNuisance... or is just an evil bastard.

* As part of a Q&A session in the bonus features of the ''Anime/WeissKreuz'' [=DVDs=], voice actor Creator/TomokazuSeki half-jokingly suggests that this is probably the best way to beat his character, Ken, who is a FriendToAllChildren.

** In the regular ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' series itself, Brock's siblings pull this on Ash to get him to stop attacking Brock's Onix.

** Occurs in Thrasher's backstory, as told in a {{Flashback}}; his father, the supervillain Mach 5, had stolen several advanced weapons from a Marine Armory, and [[TheDreaded The Dragonslayers]], an elite unit of CapeBusters, were tasked with bringing them back, and bringing him in, probably not in one piece. They managed to find him in a motel late at night, and Highjacker followed him into the room he was renting, alone. Where he went to take Mach 5 down, his son (Thrasher, as a young child) stepped between them. Erik, realizing he [[IronicEcho didn't have the heart to intentionally kill a child]], told Mach 5 that he would let him escape so long as he told them where the weapons were hidden. This was a turning point not only for Mahren but for Mach 5 as well; he retired from crime and became a stockbroker. A second IronicEcho came when the now teenaged Thrasher steps in between Mahren (whom he had just realized was the same Dragonslayer who had come for his father years earlier) and the badly-beaten superhero Lamplighter, who had attacked a group of students for who was on a {{Parkour}} run [[LawfulStupid because he thought they were vandals, despite the signs saying that the area was the Academy's property]] and got soundly defeated by the students and Erik's 'Marine buddies' (e.g., the other surviving Dragonslayers). Mahren was ready to kill the 'hero' who had dared to hurt those he was responsible for, but Thrasher reminded him that he had to set an example.
