History Main / TheseHandsHaveKilled

** This is not a cartoon movie for kids, by the way. Wonder Woman also freed and armed a bunch of kidnapped Comfort Women and let them go wild on their rapists, and told Superman to go screw himself when he got shocked at the aftermath.

* Dust of ''Bunnykill 5'' does this after [[spoiler:snapping out of his BrainwashedAndCrazy state and realizing that he's just killed his friend Snowball while under the influence of the PsychoSerum]].

* In ''ReturnOfTheJedi'', Luke has an instant of this, though it's because he cut through Darth Vader's prosthetic arm in anger, has his own ArtificialArm, and grasps what he's doing.

* RurouniKenshin says something close to the trope phrase in the opening to his super-long flashback arc about [[spoiler:his wife Tomoe, whom he had inadvertently killed some twelve years previous as the climax of his career as an assassin.]]

* [[GreenLantern Hal Jordan]] has this in the JusticeLeague:TheNewFrontier movie, in his segment of the setup for the actual plot. He got through what seems to have been the Korean War doing the closest thing to a pacifist run a [[AcePilot fighter pilot]] has ever pulled off, and then he goes down some ten minutes after the war is officially over and can't make the Korean he lands near understand that he doesn't want to fight now, it's over, they're not at war...so he winds up shooting him in the face at incredibly close range. Blood everywhere. Seriously screw him up.

* In FinalFantasy7, Barret tries to make peace with his old friend, Dyne, by mentioning the man's daughter (whom Barret had rescued and adopted after their town was destroyed). Dyne refuses, noting that not only would she not remember him, but that his hands are to stained to carry her any more. Then he jumps off a cliff, leaving Barret to admit that his hands aren't any cleaner. Note that BOTH men had a gun for an arm and never seemed to feel bad about killing anyone else.

* "This is the skin of a KILLER!" in the {{Twilight}} movie.

** Heck, your characters end up killing a whole neighborhood of people in a Mako reactor explosion... in the very beginning of the game. Later, when [[{{TheScrappy}} Cait Sith]] calls Cloud out on this, [[{{DesignatedHero}} they don't exactly sound like they're sorry.]] [=FF7=] is chock-FULL of [[{{AlternateCharacterInterpretation}} characters]] who [[{{CompleteMonster}} kill innocents and don't care]].

* Subverted in the John Woo film ''Broken Arrow''. After the main villain [[strike: shoots someone]] crushes his benefactor's windpipe, he reflects that it's the first time he's directly killed anyone. While he's killed before, it was only in the Air Force, not seeing death upclose. He scoffs "I don't see what the big deal is."

* Leetah in [[http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ15/DisplayOQ15.html?page=26 this scene]] from ''ElfQuest''. She's struck by the enormity of her hands, which have hitherto only brought healing, being able to kill, even in self-defense. Also, she does this so much that the warrior Elves she and the Wolfriders are bunking with tell her to stop admiring her hands and get to practical matters.

* In TheMegas album GetEquipped, the song Lamentations of a War Machine/End Song, taking place after Megaman defeats Wily in his fortress, has these lyrics:

* In ''MegaMan 2 The Powers Fighters'' this happens to Mega Man after [[spoiler: Dr. Wily [[{{hannibal lecture}} convincing him that he's as bad as him for destroying his evil robots]].]] It takes all of about 10 seconds for Dr. Light to snap him out of it.

* Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) has had at least one flashback to doing this after ripping a man's throat out with her bare hands. It did not help that she was around eight at the time. What makes it worse is her super ability to read body language. Turns out the body language of a dying person is pretty unpleasant.

* "This is the skin of a KILLER!" in the Twilight movie.
