History DisproportionateRetribution / AnimeAndManga

* Oburi from ''Anime/{{Kite}}'' sets himself up for LaserGuidedKarma example of this trope. After his new jacket is dirtied by a wet basketball that accidentally hit him, Oburi shoots the basketball, much to the anger of the two children that demanded the ball back and were mocking him, especially the little girl. [[spoiler:At the end of the film the little girl shots and kills Oburi while he's walking by to meet up with Sawa.]]

* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Separate [[ActionGirl Erza]] from her strawberry cake, and [[UnstoppableRage you'll receive the thrashing of your life.]]

** Minerva's father Jiemma is even ''worse,'' beating, publicly humiliating, and exiling members of his guild if they lose even one event or fight. '''''ONE.''''' Jiemma even tries to kill Sting for being an "animal" (actually an Exceed, an intelligent winged cat-like creature) with the guild mark on his back.

*** The biggest example in the part, however (and arguably, the whole series) is in Episode 34; when [[SerialKiller Yoshikage Kira]] brushes a woman's handbag off his leg while on the subway, she and her boyfriend yell at him, thinking he's a pickpocket, and then make fun of his bowling ball pin nail clippers. For this, Kira '''''stalks them all the way to their apartment and murders them.'''''

*** [[TheSociopath Toshikazu Hazamada]] once used his [[FightingSpirit Stand]], [[PeoplePuppets Surface]], to [[EyeScream gouge his friend's eye out with a pen]] after he got in an argument with him. He also later attempts to stab a guy in the mouth with a box cutter for insulting him.

** Years before the events of the main story, due to some men from the Hidden Mist village [[spoiler:abducting Rin and turning her into the Three-Tails' Jinchuriki, and ultimately being responsible for her death, Obito Uchiha, posing as Madara, {{Mind Control}}led Yagura, the fourth Mizukage. Under the influence of said mind control, Yagura essentially forced innocent children to graduate by ''murdering one another'', and then perpetuated the Bloodline Massacres, resulting in the nigh extinction of several clans (including Haku's and Kimimaro's) and ostracizing the surviving Kekkai Genkai users, forcing them into hiding for fear of being killed.]] Becomes even more HarsherInHindsight when we learn that [[spoiler:Madara was behind the Hidden Mist's role in Rin's death, all in order to get Obito under his control -- Obito condemned innocents for something neither them ''nor'' their village had anything to do with.]]

* The fate of several girls in ''Anime/MasterOfMartialHearts'': if the sheer fact that every fight in the ''Platonic Heart'' tends to turn into a death match, it gets worse [[spoiler: when you're made aware that actually the losing {{Action Girl}}s suffer AFateWorseThanDeath itself. They're actually saved, nursed to health and then mindraped to the breaking point and sold into sexual slavery. Just to get sure, many of them get their voice box removed, thus explaining how one of the previous generations loser, after escaping her destiny, became little more than the resident CuteMute and harmless mom. Tinged with MisplacedRetribution, since Natsume, the daughter of the aforementioned CuteMute, organized a second edition of the ''Platonic Heart'', thus reaping a whole bunch of completely random strangers, just to lure out the daughter of the organizer of the tournament costing her mom her voice and freedom.]]

* ''Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim'': Gablet Gablae threw himself into the task of destroying TheHero Daba and his companions, his obsession driving him to obsessively and relentlessly chase them through space and to another planet, engaging in countless mecha duels with Daba and (being defeated and humiliated in every single turn, but that is another story) What did they do to him? Having the gall to demand that he paid the food that he had stolen.

** And in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'', shortly after Carta Issue going after Orga and accidentally killing [[spoiler: Biscuit]], Mikazuki responds by [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan pushing Orga to crush everyone blocking Tekkadan's way]], and in the ensuing duel against Carta, [[spoiler: Mika immediate killed both of Carta's bodyguards when they are ''[[KilledMidSentence outside]]'' their mechs, systemically [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge dismembered Carta's mech]], [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown flinged her across the field]], [[CruelAndUnusualDeath slammed her right onto a pool of ice]], and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill snapped her sword and arm apart]]. Even when the final blow was interrupted by Gaelio and Orga, Carta already succumbed to her wound and DiesWideOpen.]] It is left ambiguous if Mika really takes his ally's death very personally, or he just [[SociopathicHero doesn't want to waste too much time on his enemies]].

* This seems to be the MO of Akane Shinjo in ''Anime/SSSSGridman''. She creates clay sculptures of monsters which are then brought to life as {{Kaiju}} by by the BigBad. Her reasons for doing so is usually to exact revenge against those she feels have wronged her in some way. For example, she has a kaiju murder her classmates in the volleyball team...because one of them knocked a hot dog she was giving to the protagonist out of his hand, ignoring the fact that it was an accident and she apologized profusely for it. While it's worth noting that damage to the city (which is almost always completely leveled by the time the fight is over) is mysteriously undone the following day and everyone who isn't directly involved with the titular hero or the aforementioned BigBad loses their memory of the event, it still says a lot that she's willing to go so far in the first place. [[spoiler:Considering that they're all in a virtual world and Akane is the only "real" person, she doesn't see the people as, well, people, just snippets of code that she'll delete if she doesn't like them.]]

** In ''Manga/VentoAureo'', while practicing his multiplication tables with [[TheSmartGuy Fugo]], [[BookDumb Narancia]] gets a math problem wrong. [[HairTriggerTemper Fugo]] responds [[EnragedByIdiocy by stabbing him in the face with a fork]].

* The ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' franchise has dipped its toes in this pool a few times. It's impressive how many people are willing to pretend to be [[Film/DieHardWithAVengeance Simon Gruber]] or [[Film/{{Seven}} John Doe]] for the sake of pettiness:
** The NonSerialMovie ''Countdown To Heaven'' revolves around a barrage of murders and terrorist bombings caused by a millionaire painter who got way beyond pissed by the construction of a skyscraper that blocked his view of Mount Fuji (sure, some of his most famous paintings had been done using that view, but nothing that, say, purchasing a room on that skyscraper wouldn't fix).

*** In fact, this is Dio's main motivation for most of his actions as an adult in Part One. Becoming an immortal vampire, spending 7 years plotting to kill the Joestar family[[spoiler:, eventually succeeding,]] and attempting to TakeOverTheWorld? It's all because he got his ass handed to him in what essentially amounts to ''a petty children's brawl.'' Truly beyond pathetic, and [[PsychopathicManchild it shows that he never matured from the narcissistic psycho he was as a preteen.]]

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

** In ''Manga/PhantomBlood'', Jonathan beats [[BigBad Dio Brando]] to a bloody pulp in a brawl until he's literally in tears after Dio forcefully kissed and humiliated Jonathan's LoveInterest Erina (along with snapping after all the other abuse Jonathan suffered under him). Dio takes the loss as well as you'd expect a psychotic megalomaniac who just got his pride shattered would -- [[spoiler:by tying up Jonathan's dog Danny and throwing him in a trash furnace to be burned alive]]. Over ''losing a fistfight.''

* In ''Manga/HiganbanaNoSakuYoruNi,'' when [[spoiler: Nonomiya]] is blamed for breaking school equipment, he retaliates by taking pictures of [[spoiler:Yoko]] which ultimately turns the school against her and they make her into their plaything. She [[spoiler: [[DrivenToSuicide kills herself]] and her soul is then eaten by The Principal]].

** Also, Luffy and Blackbeard could have [[NotSoDifferent been the best of friends]], had not a fight between them started [[EstablishingCharacterMoment the day they met]] when each insulted the other's favorite food. Luffy didn't like the brand of cherry pie the store had, Blackbeard wasn't a fan of well-done meat; both got annoyed at the other's complaining, and a fight started. While many other factors contributed to them being [[ArchEnemy sworn enemies]], this likely started it.

* In ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'', everything Gyokuro did was because her husband liked his mistress Akasha more than her.

* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': At the beginning of episode 5, Tohru blasts a couple of birds that were pulling on the laundry she hung out to dry. Said blast presumably destroys the birds, along with the clothing, and the balcony, though it seems she fixes it with magic after the opening credits are done.
