** Special mention also goes to the Fake Strawhat Gang, who appeared on Sabaody Archipelago right when the real Strawhats returned there as well. They manage to pick a fight with Luffy himself and get their asses handed to them by way of Emperor's haki. [[spoiler:Their captain, "Triple-Tongued" Demaro Black, had a bounty of 26 million berry, which meant he was just some random nobody. (Luffy's first bounty was 30 million berry, to say nothing of his bounty after the timeskip at 400 million berry.)]]

** Midway through the Wano arc, the World Government decides to [[spoiler:abolish the Shichibukai[=/=]Seven Warlords of the Sea, thereby making the remaining members wanted pirates once again]]. The decision, while reasonable, is then followed by the Marines launching simultaneous assaults against all the said individuals. As [[spoiler:Boa Hancock]] points out, since the targets [[spoiler:had been chosen for their positions]] due to how strong they were, the Marines will have quite a fight on their hands.

* The trio of "heroes" in ''Literature/VillainessLevel99'' think it's a fantastic idea to keep antagonizing Yumiella Dolkness. This is ''despite'' the fact that she effortlessly knocked one of them across a training ground with a ''[[NerfWeapon wooden]]'' sword, disintegrated a supposedly difficult to destroy target in front of one, and let the third witness her summoning a freaking ''black hole'' large enough to block the sun. They may not realize that she's the hidden SuperBoss of their world, but you'd think seeing those feats would give them pause anyway.

** The World Nobles in general are so convinced of their superiority over commoners that they'll continue to insist on it even when it makes no sense. The prime example is Saint Mjosgard, who, when some of his Fishman slaves escaped, went off to Fish-Man Island to demand that they be returned to him. He gets into a shipwreck along the way, which leaves him as the only survivor. Alone, injured, and with no way to contact the Admirals, he ''still'' feels the need to mouth off to the Fishmen, even though the World Government had every reason to think that he was already dead at that point, and the Fishmen could've done whatever they wanted to him without anyone ever knowing. It was only Queen Otohime's intervention that saved him from what would've likely been a very long and painful death. Not only that, but it also humbled Mjosgard and opened his eyes on how rotten he and the rest of the Nobles had become. He returns the favor by rescuing Otohime's daughter from Charloss.

** A pirate named Rockstar wanted to kill ''Whitebeard'' after the latter dismished him as mere rookie. Mind you, Rockstar had a bounty of 94.000.000 Berries and Whitebeard's is ''5.046.000.000 Berries''. Fortunately for him, his boss Shanks managed to convince him of not being suicidal.

* The nameless extras that populate many parts of ''Manga/ViolinistOfHameln'' world are guilty of this trope as charged. You would think that the normal reaction, upon learning, that the dude in the hat right next to you is supposed to be TheAntiChrist and [[SuperpoweredEvilSide single-handedly massacred half a town worth of people when he was only ten]], should be ''fear'' and trying to get away/not to piss him off. Nope, not in this manga.

* Ranma Saotome of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has his moment with [[spoiler: Pantyhose]] Taro. Everybody briefly joins in on repeating his [[spoiler: embarrassing name]] despite his repeated demands for them to shut up...and the fact that he's got a winged minotaur as a cursed form. Which had been [[CurbStompBattle kicking their butts]] for the last two episodes. Despite the fact that they are in a cave with a waterfall outside. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Guess they knew it was five minutes before the end of the episode]] so the plot would be resolved somehow [[StatusQuoIsGod without their pulverization and in a way most likely involving the removal of Taro from their immediate locale]].

* ''Manga/{{Monster}}: Professor Goedelitz tries to coerce Johan Liebert into leading his Neo-Nazi organization by holding his sister hostage. This gets him and his subordinates killed.

* ''Literature/WorteniaSenki'' has this happen as national policy! All the countries in that world think that the best way to garner the loyalty of people they summon from Earth, precisely because they harvest "prana", a magical energy that makes them stronger the more they kill, far more efficiently than themselves is to slap them with [[InstantAllegianceArtifact a magic ritual that prevents them from even thinking about refusing orders or betraying them]]... fair enough... but then they go and abuse them, treating them worse than slaves, and if their lovers got brought with them? Rape said lovers until they're broken beyond repair ''right before their eyes'' and either kill said lovers, or "give them back" to the newly minted [[SuperSoldier Super Soldiers]] as broken dolls... [[DidNotThinkThisThrough Yeah...]]

* During the [[TournamentArc Grand Magic Games]] arc in ''Manga/FairyTail'', the members of Sabretooth keep doing this to a ridiculous extent. Whether it's Sting assuming he can beat Natsu despite seeing his strength and determination first-hand, Orga deciding that the best course of action would be to attack [[WorldsStrongestMan one of the Ten Wizard Saints]] head-on that days prior he witnessed surpassing his own MPF score ''twice over'', or Minerva kidnapping and torturing a mutual friend of her opponents despite knowing (and exploiting the fact) that the series runs on ThePowerOfFriendship (granted, she was counting on them both beating each other down and leaving the victor easy pickings), they never seem to learn until they're eventually defeated ([[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope with the exception of Minerva, who just gets worse]]).

* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': There are a number of humans who enjoy antagonizing liminals (monsters). Pretty stupid, since the monster girls of the series can easily hurt people just by accident. Sure, strict laws mean liminals could be deported for harming humans by fighting back, but that's not going to save you if a pissed-off lamia decides to crush your spine or an angry centaur puts a hoof through your skull. Rachnera shows off just how dumb having blind faith that the law will protect you from retaliation multiple times, since unlike the rest of the main characters, she ''doesn't'' care about obeying the law.

** When Luppi replaces Grimmjow as the Sixth Espada after [[BloodKnight Grimmjow]] has his arm cut off, he taunts Grimmjow about his former title. When Orihime restores Grimmjow's arm, [[KickTheSonOfABitch the first thing he does is impale Luppi with it to get his old rank back.]]

* In ''Anime/TheLegendOfTheLegendaryHeroes'', pretty much everyone hates and fears [[MagicalEye Cursed Eye bearers]], which can do things like copy all magic used in front of them, dissolve people into dust, or any other number of fun activities. The main character, [[BrilliantButLazy Ryner Lute]], possesses the [[InstantExpert Alpha]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Stigma]], which is the copying version. However, when an Alpha Stigma bearer is [[BerserkButton driven over the edge]], they become homicidally insane and use all of that copied magic to tear the rest of the world a new one. People know this. [[TooDumbToLive And yet everyone insists]] [[FantasticRacism on treating Cursed Eye bearers like crap until the inevitable happens.]][[note]]The stupidity of the population is up for debate. The protagonist's SuperpoweredEvilSide is vastly more powerful than of any other Cursed Eye bearer in the setting. It has been shown that other possessed were quickly and quite easily dealt with. Additionally, the eyes of the possessed Cursed Eye bearer cost a fortune and a lot of those people don't even have an offensive abilities to begin with.[[/note]]
* ''LightNovel/TheMisfitOfDemonKingAcademy'': Anos Voldigoad is ''insanely'' powerful and skilled. Some of his feats including disintegrating an opponent by snapping his fingers, then immediately resurrecting him over and over again, and ripping a castle out of the ground and hurling into the sky. Despite the fact that he is obviously way more powerful than most full-blooded demons, they still mock or antagonize him [[FantasticRacism just because he's a human/demon hybrid]].
