* Early in the anime version of ''ExcelSaga'', Excel's sent to assassinate Koshi Rikdo (the original ''{{mangaka}}''). Although that might go a little beyond this trope.
** This probably doesn't count for two reasons: Koshi Rikdo is resurrected quickly after being assassinated, and more over he appears in every other episode of the show as well.
*** It ''does'' count, but as a SubvertedTrope, given that Koshi Rikdo is actually killed off, but with the twist of being revived.

*It happens in ''TheFairlyOddParents'' movie ''Abra-Catastrophe,'' although it requires a little bit of FridgeLogic. During his battle with EvilOverlord Crocker, Timmy and Crocker himself get shrunken down to subatomic levels. The audience is given an EstablishingShot zooming in on the pencil erasure of a rather frustrated looking series creator Butch Hartman. Fast forward a few minutes and Timmy splits an atom, resulting in a nuclear explosion, as expected. Timmy and Crocker survive via different forms of magic, but Butch and his studio are nowhere to be seen.
