** This was also Red's fate, after Charlie defeats him and frees his captives. Charlie claims 'his boss yanked his chain', implying the Devil himself was responsible.
** Also, at the climax of the original film, as Charlie is saying his last goodbye, a huge demonic dragon (heavily implied to be the Devil himself) comes to drag his soul to hell (since he gave up his place in heaven to return to Earth) but thankfully for him, Anabelle comes to take him back to heaven because he'd died in a HeroicSacrifice.

* [[WordOfGod Canonically]], this is what [[StreetFighter Akuma/Gouki's]] Shun Goku Satsu move does: pulls both him and his victim to the underworld, where they're set upon by demons based on how evil their souls are. For a guy like [[BigBad Bison/Vega]], it's pretty much a OneHitKill, but if one manages to clear their mind of all thoughts, you won't be harmed, which is how Gen [[spoiler:and Gouken]] survived it.

* This is the fate of pretty much any Apostle that dies in ''{{Berserk}}''. We see two examples in the course of the manga: [[spoiler:the Count after he refuses to sacrifice his daughter to save his life and be reborn, and Wyald after Zodd rips him in half for trying to kill Griffith before the Eclipse]].
* This happens to one Hollow (or specifically, the soul of the serial killer that turned into said Hollow) in ''{{Bleach}}''.
* At the end of ''FullmetalAlchemist'', [[spoiler: Father, the BigBad]] is dragged screaming into the [[CoolGate Gate]] and receives an IronicHell. By extension, this is the fate of any alchemist who attempts to resurrect the dead, although after being taken, they are sent back alive (minus an organ or limb).
* This happens to [[spoiler:Shiva]] in [[SaintBeast Saint Beast: Seijuu Kourin Hen]].

Being DraggedOffToHell (or if being clever, Descend To A Lower Plane Of Existence) is a common villain fate, especially for those who previously made a DealWithTheDevil. In an inversion of AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, they are dragged off screaming by some kind of eldritch force (generally in the form of a bunch of arms reaching out for them), leaving no body behind. Since this is a death trope, it will include some spoilers
