* Godly Pond in ''Manga/ThePromisedNeverland'' is a hunting ground for the demon elite. These rich demons have grown tired of eating farm meat and long for the days where demons hunted humans freely. So they kidnapped children from the farms and placed them in Goldy Pond: a place where every few days the demons come and hunt down this free-range meat. However, Archduke Leuvis insists that even this is not exciting enough for him, like "hunting rabbits." Then Emma came along...

** The Egghead Arc reveals that the World Nobles have a "Native Hunting Competition", held every three years, where they would descend on a country that is not affiliated with the World Government to contend on who among them can kill the most natives (plus any unruly slaves they brought along, whom they release onto the island as well). By the end of the hunts, only then is the plundered country forced into joining with the World Government. The one seen in the manga took place in the mysterious God Valley, where things got out of hand on account of pirate involvement (culminating in the defeat of Rocks D. Xebec and the disbandment of his crew); the contest has not been heard of since and seems to have now been abolished.

* ''Anime/PumpkinScissors'' has a MonsterOfTheWeek (well, a human, actually, but considering what he does...) in the form of Viscount Wolkins, an egomanic [[AristocratsAreEvil evil noble]] who promises a vast reward to anyone winning his game...that consists of shackling the challengers together and letting them loose on his grounds, after which he hunts them with a freaking [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill tank, cannon and all.]] When Section III turns up to investigate and, upon finding out the nature of his game, arrest him, he then subjects TheHero and ThoseTwoGuys to the same treatment. Unfortunately for him, TheHero happens to be a [[SuperSoldier chemically enhanced giant]] armed with a [[HandCannon 13mm, armor piercing handgun]] who was trained and conditioned specifically to fight tanks ''on foot''.

She soon realizes that she is unable to make it to the ground floor of the buildings and must make her way from building to building via suspension bridges precariously built seemingly at random between the buildings.
