* El Indio of ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' sometimes listens to the chime from his pocket watch and reflects on its previous owner, a young woman ([[spoiler:[[ItsPersonal bounty hunter Col. Mortimer's sister]]]]) whom killed herself with his gun after he murdered her lover and raped her. He wistfully dwells on her as if she were "the one that got away," a touch of humanity that ironically makes him seem even ''more'' loathsome than if he were recalling his evil deed with the sadistic glee of a CardCarryingVillain.

Acceptable Targets is an index and indexes can't be linked anywhere besides other indexes and trope descriptions (when appropriate).


* Generally averted with ''Manga/DeathNote'''s VillainProtagonist Light, who often seems completely unconcerned with his victims' identities beyond their being AcceptableTargets and/or being convenient to kill... However, he does seem to do this quite a lot in reference to [[AntagonistInMourning one particular victim]] during the series' second half.
