History Main / RoaringRampageOfRescue

[[folder: Religion]]

* On ''Roleplay/HonorableHogwarts'', Jason goes on one of these when his wife Maddie is kidnapped by the [[ReligionOfEvil Brotherhood of the Light]]. It does overlap with RoaringRampageOfRevenge, though, since his secondary objective is to destroy every single member of the Brotherhood in the [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill most brutal ways he possibly can]].

* In ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'', [[spoiler:even though Amanda isn’t being held captive, the protagonist breaking into Cecilia’s hotel room to confront the two of them has shades of this.]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* Discussed in ''Roleplay/AsteroidQuest'', when Hok violently disapproves of kidnapping members of two militarily powerful families.
-->'''Hok:''' I'm pretty sure you underestimate just how uncool Rokoa and Pilon can be about stealing their significant others.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss''

* ''Film/{{Predator}}'' opens up with one of these: Arnie's crack commando team is called in to rescue two missing cabinet ministers, who are suspected to be held hostage by a rebel force. The trope is [[PlayingWithATrope played with]] in that both of them are actually [=CIA=], and the team had been lied to about their identities; both are already dead as well, and though he was hoping to rescue them the agent who set the team up quickly admits that he mainly wanted Arnie's unit to destroy the rebel base and kill all the soldiers in a pre-emptive strike. They do exactly that, but another way its played with is that they mistakenly believe the rebels skinned the previous team alive and strung them up, making this a RoaringRampageOfRevenge as well- except, of course, the culprit behind the skinning was actually the Predator, so the rebels were MisBlamed twice.

** After Aizen orchestrates events to [[IHaveYourWife coerce]] Orihime into becoming his prisoner and make it look like she joined him willingly, Soul Society officially washes their hands of the whole affair and recall Hitsugaya's unit so they can prepare for Aizen's invasion of Karakura Town. Ichigo of course has none of it and travels to Hueco Mundo with Chad and Uryu, where he's joined by Rukia and Renji (since Byakuya [[LoopholeAbuse was only ordered to bring them home, not to make sure they stayed there]]). Once there they infiltrate Las Noches, Aizen's palace, and go their separate ways as they search for Orihime, defeating several Arrancar along the way (including former and current [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Espada]]). After events leave Ichigo and his companions about to be killed by several Espada, ''they'' [[TheCavalry are rescued by several Captains]] in the nick of time. After they Captains finish their fights, however, Aizen has Starrk retrieve Orihime and traps his enemies in Hueco Mundo as he begins his invasion with the three strongest Espada, leaving Ulquiorra to hold the fort in his absence. Following one last fight with Ulquiorra, Ichigo leaves Orihime in Hueco Mundo until the invasion of Karakura ends, acknowledging that she's probably safest there for the time being. Only after Aizen's final defeat is Orihime brought home.

If the loved one is a child, then the rescuing is probably being done by a MamaBear or PapaWolf, or the Badass in a BadassAndChildDuo. Can also be prompted by an IHaveYourWife call from the BigBad. If it is a {{love interest}}, they are probably a DamselInDistress ([[GenderFlipped or]] a DistressedDude). May overlap with RoaringRampageOfRevenge if the goal is to both rescue the loved one and inflict punishment on those who kidnapped them.

* This happens with very high frequency in the roleplays of ''WebComic/WhiteDarkLife'' due to AuthorAppeal. Standout examples include the "Dark Matt Bio", "It's A PDGM", "Fatty Vs. Fairy", "Future: A Shocking Diary", "Professional Apologizer", "Growing Pains in the Neck", and "Sky Bio" [=RPs=]. "Scaredy Fox Training" is a downplayed example crossed with RoaringRampageOfRevenge (with Miriam being motivated to take out [[VideoGame/MogekoCastle King mogeko]] in order to rescue her friend Momoko, prevent him from ever kidnapping her again, and break the fear curse he placed on [[LoveInterest Ne]]). "For Tuna The Can Tolls" takes it UpToEleven by having the Heroes' League HoldTheLine against [[BigCreepyCrawlies the Ant God]] and [[JustToyingWithThem deliberately underperforming]] in a prolonged fight with it to buy themselves time to rescue ''every single person it's currently holding captive on its thorax''.

* ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'' gives us Neal Foster, who has done this at some point in the past. The resulting carnage and body count lead one of his adopted cubs to revile him for quite a few years afterward.
** At other times it has overlapped with RoaringRampageOfRevenge as well as TranquilFury.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'', expect this to be the title character's response any time his MoralityChain Lydia is abducted - often followed by a RoaringRampageOfRevenge once she's safely out of the way.

* The climax of ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has Gru storming Vector's lair to rescue the girls.

** When word reaches him that TheMafia has kidnapped his estranged father Karl (while trying to kidnap Kevyn Prime), [[TheCaptain Kaff Tagon]] immediately drops what he's doing, recalls his entire mercenary company from the various jobs they were taking at the time and makes a beeline towards Jupiter, where Karl is being kept. Once there, he and his company tear through whatever the mafia throws at them, laying waste to their base and leaving a massive trail of collateral damage. When a torture technician [[EyeScream throws a scalpel at Tagon's eye]], he simply [[LodgedBladeRecycling yanks it off his face and uses it to paint the walls red with his blood]], which makes his men realize [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he's being even more violent than usual]]; at one point he even considers shooting down a troop transport train, only relenting after Ebby convinces him to keep what stealth element he had left. The rescue attempt culminates with [[{{BFG}} LOTA]] destroying the last [[TeleportInterdiction Teraport Area Denial]] keeping the Toughs from escaping (by blowing up the ship in which it was housed), after which Tagon finally calms down.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' is the story of Ethan Winters tearing through terrifying monsters to rescue his daughter Rose.
* From his visit to The World That Never Was on, ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' is basically just Riku's {{Roaring Rampage Of Rescue}} to save Sora from [[spoiler: becoming Xehanort's thirteenth vessel]].
* ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII'': The main campaign mechanic for [[OrderVersusChaos Order based factions]] is to storm through the HellGate PortalNetwork that opens periodically, and free the SealedGoodInACan bear god Ursun from the realms of Chaos, while Chaos forces compete to absorb his power.
* Pick a side-scrolling beat 'em up from the late 80s to mid 90s and any plot is likely to be this: From ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'' (Rescue Marian) to ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' (Rescue Jessica) to ''VideoGame/BadDudes'' (Rescue "President Ronnie"). Even some of Konami's legendary multi-player brawlers were in on this plot: ''VideoGame/TheSimpsons'' (Rescue Maggie) plays it 100% straight. ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame'' and ''VideoGame/XMen1992'' keep going after you've made the rescue[[note]]April O'Neil and Kitty Pryde, respectively[[/note]]
* The first half of ''VideoGame/MaxPayne3'' centers around several such rampages. In the first chapter, Max proves his worth as a private security guard and rescues both his principal Rodrigo and Rodrigo's wife Fabiana by gunning down their kidnappers. During the second chapter the same kidnappers try to take Fabiana and her sister Giovanna. Max only manages to save the latter, so he spends the fifth and seventh chapters killing his way through the Comando Sombra and a few other favela gangs to get to her.

* Literature/ChakonaSpace gives us Neal Foster, who has done this at some point in the past. The resulting carnage and body count lead one of his adopted cubs to revile him for quite a few years afterward.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** When word reaches him that TheMafia has kidnapped his estranged father Karl (while trying to kidnap Kevyn Prime), [[TheCaptain Kaff Tagon]] immediately drops what he's doing, recalls his entire mercenary company from the various jobs they were taking at the time and makes a beeline towards Jupiter, where Karl is being kept.

* King Claudus from ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} ThunderCats (2011)]]'' successfully attempted this when he went to rescue his friend "General Panthro." [[spoiler:Subverted rather quickly, and cruelly.]]
* The robot chicken in ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' himself in the 100th episode, also goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge over [[spoiler: the mad scientist who created him, for kidnapping his wife and subjecting her to the same torture that he went through]].

* [[PapaWolf Buck Tuddrussel]] saves Otto from being attacked by a group of baboons in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad''.
* Any time Steven is captured in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', there's a good chance that the Crystal Gems are going to show up and [[MamaBear have something to say about it.]] Ronaldo found this out the hard way when he kidnapped Steven[[note]]in complete fairness, he [[ConspiracyTheorist did think he was a snake person at the time]][[/note]] only to have all three Crystal Gems blast a huge hole in his wall. Considering that he's an ordinary, out-of-shape teenager and they're immortal space aliens with magic powers, [[CurbStompBattle it goes about as well for him as you'd expect]] until Steven intervenes.
-->'''Pearl:''' WE KNOW YOU HAVE OUR STEVEN!

* ''ComicBook/TheInvisibleTerror'': A lab assistant goes after international mercenaries who kidnapped his dad boss' kids.
* ''ComicBook/TheGreenKnight'': A superhero blasts his way through a vampire's servants to rescue a young lad.

* In a ''Batman: Black and White'' story, Batman begins following a trail of especially horrible murders committed with a hatchet. He manages to find out every victim was at one point an Arkham inmate, and identifies the last victim in time to catch the killer - ''Arnold Wesker, the Ventriloquist''. It turns out the rampage was actually this trope -- he had been attacked at Arkham and Scarface torn apart by the other inmates. When offered Scarface's head, the last missing piece, Wesker immediately mellows out to his usual milquetoast persona, submits to the annoyed Scarface's complaints and meekly awaits to be sent back to Arkham.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]

* ''Film/HardcoreHenry'': Shortly after the protagonist, Henry, wakes up from a coma and finds that a scientist who claims to be his wife, named Estelle, has given him a new cyborg body to recover from having his old body brutalized and ripped apart, Estelle is kidnapped by a powerful psychic named Akan, who plans to make more cyborgs like Henry to take over civilization. Henry, resolves to use his new superhuman strength, [[LeParkour death-defying parkour,]] and whatever weapon he can get his hands on or [[ImprovisedWeapon make himself,]] to get her back. It's ''extremely'' worth noting that this movie is shot in first-person perspective, and Henry has no speaking ability since there was no time to implant a voice box into his throat before his wife was taken, all contributing to this movie being a massive love letter to the first person shooter genre of video games.

* ''Film/TaxiDriver'': To rescue Iris, Travis Bickle shoots his way through several lowlifes (including Iris's pimp).

* In ''Literature/AnOutcastInAnotherWorld'', Rob and Orn'tol's DungeonCrawl to rescue the rest of the trainees involves murdering hundreds of enemies, most of them with fire, and killing the last and final one with two arrows piercing through its eyes and out the other end. Rob and Keira's rescue of the civilians during the defense of the Village involves taking on a giant monster significantly stronger than them and beating it into a bloody pulp.
%%* The Dumai Wells sequence in the ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime''.Administrivia/ZeroContentExample

* ''Literature/TheRamayana'': Essentially the entirety of the plot once the demon king Ravana kidnaps Rama's wife Sita, starting a war in the process. Makes this trope OlderThanFeudalism.
* ''Literature/TheBelgariad'': Barak in bear form rips through Salmissra's palace in the second novel after Salmissra kidnaps Garion. Midway through the Malloreon, Garion chops his way through Ashaba to rescue his son. ({{Subverted|Trope}} because [[spoiler:Geran was never there, it was an illusion cast because Zandramas is fond of [[MindScrew mindscrewing]] people.]]) One could argue the next-to-the-last fight scene in "Seeress of Kell" would count as well, though Garion is as much interested in revenge on Zandramas as anything else.
* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'': Cordelia Vorkosigan embarks on one of these in ''Barrayar'' when a civil war puts her baby (in a UterineReplicator) in danger. Then she goes to the capitals, ends the war, and kills the usurper, almost all by herself -- and then she [[OffWithHisHead brings back his head]] to her husband to boot.
* ''Literature/MillenniumSeries'': Lisbeth in ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'' when Mikel is captured at the end by [[spoiler:Martin]].

* After her fiancé Jerin is kidnapped, Princess Ren of ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' pretty much goes all out on one of these, though she's cool headed enough to insist that her sisters stay home to guard their little sisters and mothers, since if she ''and'' they are killed the country is pretty much screwed.
* Buck Williams in the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' book ''Armageddon'' is ready to go on this when his wife Chloe is captured by the Global Community, but Rayford and the Tribulation Force contingent in San Diego are able to talk him down and convince him to let God handle her fate.
* In ''Literature/{{Steppe}}'', the hero Alp's wife is kidnapped by the leader of an enemy tribe. He responds by leading his clan and two allied clans to war to rescue her. This is TruthInTelevision; the setting is a historical recreation game, and Alp is playing the character Temujin [[spoiler:(better known as Genghis Khan)]], who really did go to war to rescue his wife from his enemies.
* In the first ''Literature/SplinterCell'' novel, Sam Fisher's daughter is kidnapped by terrorists who try to use her to force Sam to surrender. After Sam helps the U.S. Military destroy the terrorists' super weapon, he goes on one of these at the small hideout where they are holding her.

* in the season 2 finale, final scene, of ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019'' [[spoiler: Guillermo saves Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo from the vampiric counsel, slaying a theater full of vampires.]]

* The final act of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' is this, if the player chooses to [[spoiler:go through the Omega-4 relay to save his/her crew.]] Also, you could consider Garrus's, Tali's, and Thane's recruitment missions and Miranda's, Mordin's, and Tali's loyalty missions to be this as well.
** Although once you find [[spoiler:Tali's father dead, her loyalty mission becomes a RoaringRampageOfRevenge instead...]]
** The ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'' DLC is all about this:
-->'''Liara''': I've spent two years plotting revenge. Now I have the chance to make it a rescue.
* ''VideoGame/MetroExodus'' let's you play through almost the entire game without killing most human enemies. Except when [[spoiler:Miller leads Artyom and Anna right into the trap of the CannibalClan that lives in the Yamantau bunkers.]] Miller and Artyom get saved in the last moment by [[BigDamnHeroes Sam and Idiot]], but [[spoiler:Anna has already been taken away to be checked for disease before getting butchered]]. What follows is one of the biggest scenes of carnage in the series as four heavily armed elite soldier fight their paths through hundreds of deranged lunatics mostly armed with axes and no protection.
* ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}'' goes on one [[spoiler:after The Shadowlord kidnaps Yonah.]] It's actually half this, half RoaringRampageOfRevenge, considering that the [[spoiler:five-year TimeSkip in between]] is spent entirely murdering the ''fuck'' out of Shades.
* Shirou during [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Heaven's Feel]] route, even [[DiedStandingUp his death]] can't stop him from saving Sakura. (In the Normal end.)
* In ''{{VideoGame/Stranglehold}}'', the events of the game can be considered both one of these and a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for Tequila, particularly near the end where [[spoiler:Billie, Tequila's wife, has been killed by Jerry on Wong's orders and Wong has kidnapped Teko, Tequila's daughter, and is intent on doing the same to her as his own revenge upon Tequila]].
* The majority of ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' is [[PapaWolf Subject Delta]] going on this to save Eleanor from Sofia Lamb. When they meet up, they become a BadassFamily.

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' - by the time Duke finds the abducted Holsom Twins (and several other Babes), [[spoiler:they've been impregnated by alien spawn, and Duke must either put them out of their misery or do nothing and let the aliens explode out of their bodies.]] Duke does NOT take this well.
* In ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'', one of Asura's main motivations is to find his daughter, save her, and [[OneManArmy give a merciless beatdown to 'anyone' who gets in his way.]] By then end of the game [[spoiler: no deity is left standing]] and Asura is about to go on another if [[spoiler: the true ending is any indication.]]
* The last two stages of ''VideoGame/BlackRockShooter: The Game''. To make it worse, the girl BRS is desperate to rescue is kind of an unapologetic JerkAss [[spoiler:not to mention that said girl has double-crossed her earlier]].
* In ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', Alex Mercer brings his game-spanning RoaringRampageOfRevenge to a screeching halt to rescue his [[MoralityPet younger sister]] when she's kidnapped by Elizabeth Greene. He stops caring about the progression of TheVirus or his fight with Blackwatch, and spends several missions doing nothing but buzzsawing through anything that stands in the way of Dana's safety. The distinction from his [[PersonOfMassDestruction usual behaviour]] is very slight but crucial.
-->'''Alex''': You took my sister! ''I'M GONNA '''END YOU!'''''
** In ''VideoGame/Prototype2'', when [[spoiler:''Alex'' has the protagonist's daughter kidnapped]], [[PapaWolf James]] is so furious, his anger actually stops being detrimental and helps to fuel his stand-off against the final boss.
* [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] of all people goes on one of these in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarGhostOfSparta''. [[spoiler: He finds out that his brother Deimos was kidnapped by the Gods when they were kids, and is being tortured by Thanatos, the God of Death.]]
* Despite their child-friendly look, this trope fuels practically every ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' game ever. Peach is kidnapped and Mario spends the rest of the game literally crushing or incinerating everyone that stands in his path. Usually it involves decimating the population of numerous Koopa affiliated lands or even planets, and no environmental obstacle that exists can stop him. He will capture castles, bring down airships and even destroy planet sized monsters to get the job done.
* This is what Snow and Lightning ''think'' they embark on in the beginning of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''. Turns out that rushing in blindly after the kidnapped Serah isn't gonna cut it by a wide margin. To put this into perspective: they find Serah after an hour of gameplay; actually saving her takes the other 49, most of which is spent running away and not knowing what to do next.
* A possible sidequest in ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' is going to rescue Ivan's foster-father, who is being held for ransom in the local WretchedHive. It's amusing because Ivan is [[BewareTheNiceOnes pretty mellow normally]], but absolutely ''furious'' when his family (or even his foster-family) is at stake.
* In ''[[VideoGame/WingCommanderTheKilrathiSaga Wing Commander II]]'', Spirit mentions having dreams of this after her fiancé was captured by the Kilrathi. The closest she gets is an attack on a traitor held space station.

* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', the protagonist storms the Star Forge and wipes out most of the Sith army on their way to rescue Bastila, who'd been abducted [[spoiler: and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]]]] by Darth Malak.
* The first ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' did this rather literally, as Uriko, the kidnapped girl [[spoiler:and final boss]], is the daughter of Mitsuko, one of the playable characters (who can transform into a large and powerful boar-woman). The second game reverses it — Uriko is playable (though [[CatGirl with weakened powers]]) and Mitsuko gets kidnapped.
* The last third of ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' can be viewed as one. Specifically, Gordon Freeman gets TiredOfRunning, [[OneManArmy single-handedly]] assaults the super-secure Combine prison (and indirectly destroys it), ''starts a worldwide rebellion'' and, again single-handedly, pwns his way up the [[EvilTowerOfOminousness Citadel]] to rescue a captured Eli Vance and later Alyx.
* Lee in ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadTelltale'' goes through one in Chapter 5, hacking his way through a herd of Walkers to [[spoiler:rescue Clementine from the Stranger]].
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has two to save Yuna, the first from the [[spoiler:the Al Bhed at the Blitzball championship]], the second from [[spoiler:getting wedded to Seymour]].

* ''VideoGame/StarCraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm'': Kerrigan's main goal is to take down [[BigBad Mengsk]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge for killing her man Jim Raynor]] (among other misdeeds); but when she learns that Jim is alive and is merely imprisoned, she takes a detour to save him, with just as much vigor and bloodthirst as before.
* This is likely to be the Dovahkiin's response in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' if someone important to him/her is kidnapped. With the addition of the ''Hearthfire'' DLC, the Dragonborn's spouse may be abducted by the forces of a bandit leader called Rochelle the Red; the ''Dawnguard'' DLC, meanwhile, adds the possibility of the spouse or another friend being kidnapped by a coven of vampires.

* The main action of ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' has Bayonetta mounting a [[RescuedFromTheUnderworld rescue mission into the very heart of Inferno]] in order to save the soul of Jeanne, who was [[DraggedOffToHell dragged off]] after [[TakingTheBullet saving her from a renegade demon]], taking down both angels and demons along the way. And there is absolutely no mercy from Bayonetta when she finally faces down Alraune, the demon who has laid claim to Jeanne's soul.
* ''VideoGame/MysticWarriors'': The titular group won't take kindly to one of their own being victimized, you know. Just ask Skull Corp.

* ''VideoGame/HeatSignature'' some missions, whether for hire or [[ItsPersonal personal]], require the player to rescue a captive from an enemy ship. These can be done non-lethally, but if a player chooses it is very possible to kill 40 guards to save a client or loved one.

** Part of the sequel, ''Taken 2'', involves Bryan going on another rampage to save his ex-wife Lenore upon being abducted by relatives of members from the aforementioned ring, who themselves seek revenge against Bryan for killing their loved ones.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]

* ''Film/{{Taken}}'': The entire premise of the plot is a PapaWolf setting out to rescue his daughter from a sex slave ring. That page quote above? He's not even ''remotely'' kidding.

* ''Manga/InuYasha'': Sesshoumaru's storming of Hell to save his MoralityPet Rin.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Prototype2}}'', when [[spoiler:''Alex'' has the protagonist's daughter kidnapped]], [[PapaWolf James]] is so furious, his anger actually stops being detrimental and helps to fuel his stand-off against the final boss.

* In ''VideoGame/WingCommander II'', Spirit mentions having dreams of this after her fiancé was captured by the Kilrathi. The closest she gets is an attack on a traitor held space station.

* Lee in ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' goes through one in Chapter 5, hacking his way through a herd of Walkers to [[spoiler:rescue Clementine from the Stranger]].

** Tagon prepares for another such rampage when he realizes Schlock and his team's visit to [[WretchedHive Haven Hive]] has made the news, only to be stopped after Schlock's team rescues itself.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': When word reaches him that TheMafia has kidnapped his estranged father Karl (while trying to kidnap Kevyn Prime), [[TheCaptain Kaff Tagon]] immediately drops what he's doing, recalls his entire mercenary company from the various jobs they were taking at the time and makes a beeline towards Jupiter, where Karl is being kept. Once there, he and his company tear through whatever the mafia throws at them, laying waste to their base and leaving a massive trail of collateral damage. When a torture technician [[EyeScream throws a scalpel at Tagon's eye]], he simply [[LodgedBladeRecycling yanks it off his face and uses it to paint the walls red with his blood]], which makes his men realize [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he's being even more violent than usual]]; at one point he even considers shooting down a troop transport train, only relenting after Ebby convinces him to keep what stealth element he had left. The rescue attempt culminates with [[{{BFG}} LOTA]] destroying the last [[TeleportInterdiction Teraport Area Denial]] keeping the Toughs from escaping (by blowing up the ship in which it was housed), after which Tagon finally calms down.

** Millie gets another rampage in "Exes and Oohs" after she and Blitzo discover that Moxxie's [[AbusiveParents father Crimson]] is planning on forcing him to marry an old ex who has [[spoiler:supposedly]] come into a lot of money lately. The end result is that pretty much all of Crimson's men are dead and both Crimson and Chaz (said ex) are beyond horrified when it seems like she's going for them next.

* When Blitzo and Moxxie of ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' are captured by a demon-hunting agency known as D.H.O.R.K.S. in Episode 6, Millie and Loona have to go to the human world to rescue them, and leave a bloody wake of their agents behind them. This is then followed by Stolas' ''own'' rescue where he possesses the corpses of the agents to summon him and intimidate the D.H.O.R.K.S. into letting them go.

* When Blitzo and Moxxie of ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' are captured by a demon-hunting agency known as D.H.O.R.K.S. in Episode 6, Millie and Loona have to go to the human world to rescue them, and leave a bloody wake of their agents behind them.

* Rin Asano of ''Manga/BladeOfTheImmortal''. Throughout the series, Rin is essentially somewhere between TheCutie, DistressedDamsel, and TheLoad. In fact, the entire story began basically because she hired badass [[{{Immortality}} Immortal]] {{Samurai}} Manji to protect her. Throughout the series, Rin gains an inverted BodyguardCrush and slowly falls in love with Manji. In a later arc, Manji [[BadassInDistress is captured by the shogunate]] and completely vanishes, prompting Rin to go "LetsGetDangerous." For the rest of the arc, [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Rin becomes a force of absolute destruction against anything standing between her and her man]]. She [[TookALevelInBadass takes such a level in badass]] that Manji ''[[AdrenalineMakeover fails to recognize her]]'' when they're reunited.
