straight-forward "hero kills the villain" non-example. prolly should cull a few more of these but this one 1000% has to go


** [[spoiler:Ming Xiao, the leader of the Kuei-Jin in L.A. who is not only working to exterminate all Kindred, [[FantasticRacism but incredibly dismissive of them]]. She is also secretly bankrolling a local gang in Chinatown to achieve these goals. The fight against her is a satisfying case of PayEvilUntoEvil since you're not just killing her. [[AllThereInTheManual Background materials]] say that if a Kuei-jin dies without fulfilling their Dharma, they get sent back to Hell. You are essentially sticking "Return to Sender" on her.]]

*** Likewise, Berenike / The Crocodile mistreated her own men, ransacked entire settlements in the region of Faiyum and murdered Hotephres' daughter Shadya in addition to having a smug personality similar to Flavius. She certainly deserved to be killed by Bayek.

*** Likewise, Berenike / The Crocodile mistreated her own men, ransacked entire settlements in the region of Faiyum and murdered even drowned Hotephres' adolescent daughter Shadya in addition to having a smug personality similar to Flavius. She certainly deserved Shadya, all while acting like it was her ''duty'' to be killed by Bayek.a murderer. Bayek forgets to give her last rites when he kills her, which is the spiritual equivalent of sending her to Hell, as he's too angry at Shadya's murder.

* ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'': The Guests you can invite usually vary in terms of sympathy. Sometimes you'll be [[ShootTheDog murdering several innocent people just trying to make a living]], like [[NaiveNewcomer Finn]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Lulu]] and [[ChronicHeroSyndrome Phillip]], but other times you'll also be able to murder much more immoral people such as [[ImAHumanitarian Pierre]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Nemo]] and the many forces of [[TheSyndicate The Five Fingers]].

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': During their shenanigans, such as cheating in sports, [[FatBastard Wario]] and [[LeanAndMean Waluigi]] often run into some bad luck, and sometimes, [[BigBad Bowser]] decides to give them a taste of his wrath, but any sympathy for the duo is mostly almost unwarranted due to their jerkish personalities and malicious intent, with their misfortunes being framed as something the audience is supposed to laugh at.

* ''VideoGame/Persona5Tactica'' deconstructs this with Ichiro Nakabachi. An EvilTeacher who embezzled funds and blackmailed students to act as his personal spies, he was exposed and fired when Toshiro Kasukabe and Eri Natsuhara rallied his victims against him. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, once his crimes were made known to the public all of the students despised him so much that they started blaming him for petty grievances that had nothing to do with him and started a lynch mob that would go as far as raiding his house. This drove him so insane that he absentmindedly tried to kill Natsuhara as revenge, causing her to slip into the train tracks, crippling her for life. In the end both Nakabachi and the students harassing him were punished, and the students [[NeverMyFault went on to blame Toshiro for encouraging them to rebel in the first place.]]]] While Nakabachi was absolutely an asshole, [[KarmicOverkill victimizing him more than necessary]] made things worse for everyone involved.

** Iadreth, a former Nightborne noble banished from Suramar. In a quest that involves escorting her to meet a smuggler, she laments that she doesn't deserve her fate because "all [she] did was punish those servants" [[spoiler:The meeting turns out to be a trap and Iadreth is sacrificed to the Burning Legion.]]
** After the player helps capture Matis the Cruel during the Bloodmyst Isle storyline, he taunts Vindicator Kuros about how Saruan ([[MentorOccupationalHazard Kuros' mentor]]) "wept like a babe" as he tortured him. Kuros [[BerserkButton loses his cool]] and one-shots him, and if you happened to read Galaen's journal, you know that his fate was well-deserved.

* ''VideoGame/TheKidnap'': Renya and Sakiko's mother is a [[ResntfulGuardian downright]] [[ParentalNeglect awful]] [[AbusiveParents parent]], berating her kids for being born and abandons them for months to fend for themselves for seemingly no reason at all. So it's hard to argue that the bitch didn't deserve getting killed by Sarao.
