* [[PlayerCharacter Ritsuka Fujimaru]] of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' is known to be the last Master of humanity, capable of commanding various Servants despite being a mediocre mage. Throughout the story, they destroyed Demon Pillars, putting down Beasts, and defeated the enemy Masters. Their reputation is so well-known that their enemies become wary of them and try to upstage them. Even the Mages' Association is interested in their abilities.

** In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', Amuro Rey, the pilot of RX-78-2 Gundam, is responsible for wiping out much of Zeon's forces and killing some of their top pilots such as M'Quve, the Black Tri-Stars and Lalah Sune ([[MyGosWhatIHaveDone the latter is something which Amuro regrets]]) during the One Year War. His Gundam earns the name [[RedBaron "The White Devil"]] for that reason.

** Dante has killed countless demons and baddies from the underworld or from Earth. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 DMC1]]'' he kills Phantom, Nightmare, and Nelo Angelo/Vergil [[spoiler:(though he comes back)]]. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry2 DMC2]]'' he kills Jokatgulm, Nefasturris, Arius[[note]]Although he temporarily comes back and is killed by Lucia permanently in her campaign[[/note]] and Argosax the demon king. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening DMC3]]'' he kills Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Nevan, Beowulf and Geryon [[note]] though you can argue he's simply turning them into weapons, not technically killing them [[/note]] and defeats his brother Vergil who is the aforementioned Nelo Angelo. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 DMC4]]'' Dante kills Berial, Dagon, Echidna and Agnus. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'' Dante slays Cavaliere Angelo, King Cerberus and Urizen (although Urizen fuses V to become Vergil while dying, so doesn't technically die).

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' has Dante the badass HalfHumanHybrid son of Sparda, who has killed countless demons and baddies from the underworld or from Earth. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 DMC1]]'' he kills Phantom, Nightmare, Nelo Angelo/Vergil (though he comes back). In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry2 DMC2]]'' he kills Jokatgulm, Nefasturris, Arius[[note]]Although he temporarily comes back and is killed by Lucia permanently in her campaign[[/note]] and Argosax the demon king. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening DMC3]]'' he kills Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Nevan, Beowulf and Geryon [[note]] though you can argue he's simply turning them into weapons, not technically killing them [[/note]] and defeats his brother Vergil who is the aforemetioned Nelo Angelo. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 DMC4]]'' Dante kills Berial, Dagon, Echidna and Agnus. In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'' Dante slays Cavaliere Angelo, King Cerberus and Urizen (although Urizen fuses V to become Vergil while dying, so doesn't technically die). Dante's nephew Nero is not slouch either, killing Sanctus the BigBad of ''[=DMC4=]'' along with Goliath, Artemis and Malphas in ''[=DMC5=]''.
* The Doomguy (later known as Doom Slayer) of ''Franchise/{{Doom}}'' when it comes to TheLegionsOfHell may have the highest bad guy body count of any video game character '''peroid'''. Having killed the Spider Mastermind, Maledict, Baron of Hell, Cyberdemon, Sabaoth, Iron lich, Maledict, Mother Of All Demons, Vagary, Icon Of Sin, Khan Maykr, The Seraphim and the Dark Lord on top of thousands, ''likely millions'' of imps, pinkies, cacodemons, hell knights, revenants, and zombies.

In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 DMC1]]'' he kills Phantom, Nightmare, Nelo Angelo/Vergil (though he comes back). In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry2 DMC2]]'' he kills Jokatgulm, Nefasturris, Arius and Argosax the demon king.

** In ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', Boba Fett has retired from bounty hunting to take over as the local mob boss, starting with [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership killing the prior one]]. With the show set in the criminal underbelly of Tattooine, most of the antagonists are [[BlackAndGrayMorality more villainous than he is]], and he racks up an impressive body count by the end of one season (including, by [[NumberTwo proxy]], the leaders of the Pyke Syndicate and all the rival gangs).

* The eponymous bounty hunter in ''Series/TheMandalorian'' has one of the biggest bad guy body counts within the Star Wars canon having killed hundreds of a rival bounter hunters, Stormtroopers, giant Krayt Dragons and one Dark Trooper. [[spoiler: Mando is only one upped in the last account by Luke Skywalker who destroys all Dark Troopers effortlessly.]]

* ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':

** Obi-Wan Kenobi has to be the best at killing Sith and their apprentices in the Jedi Order. In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', he manages to kill Darth Maul (his death was later retconed in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', though Obi-Wan still ends up killing Maul in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''), while in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' he kills General Grievous. He also comes vey close to killing Darth Vader at the end of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. In the non-canon ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' two-parter by Creator/GenndyTartakovsky Obi-Wan also kills Durge TheDreaded 2000 year old BountyHunter.

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'': The reason Commander Shepard is so highly regarded and feared is that, against all odds, they are known for being able to do whatever it takes, defend the galaxy, and stop threats. While they already had this reputation as an [[SuperSoldier [=N7=] Marine]], and later a [[EliteAgentsAboveTheLaw SPECTRE]], they became a LivingLegend for being the first and only known person to successfully kill a [[AbusivePrecursors Reaper]]. In the next games (regardless of player morality or choice), they would then go on to destroy the Collectors, a faction of renegade geth, other rogue [=N7s=] and [=SPECTREs=], ''more Reapers'', and even an EvilDoppelganger of themselfves.

* ''Franchise/JurassicPark'': Of all people, [[KingOfTheDinosaurs Rexy the]] ''[[KingOfTheDinosaurs Tyrannosaurus rex]]'' is the one who kills most of the movies' major villains. In the [[Film/JurassicPark first film]], she kills [[RaptorAttack The Big One and her fellow Velociraptor]], as well as Donald Gennaro (though the latter is more a {{Jerkass}} than a villain). When she returns in ''Film/JurassicWorld'', Rexy plays a major role in the defeat and death of the ''[[BigBad Indominus rex]]''. In the following film ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', she kills a ''Carnotaurus'' that was threatening the heroes, and also the BigBad Eli Mills.

* ''Fanfic/MyHeroAcademiaUnchainedPredator'': Not long after getting shanghaied into the MHA world, The Doom Slayer gains the reputation of being a brutal vigilante after ''ripping Shigaraki's arm off''. By Chapters 8-19, he fully becomes this trope after [[spoiler:slaughtering Nine and his underlings on I-Island]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'': PowerTrio Trevor, Sypha and Alucard decimate a colossal amount of monsters: Cyclops, Blue Fang, the Minatour, Malphas Gaibon, Slogra and The Visitor as well as villains such as: Dragoslav, Zufall, Sharma, Raman and Chō (three of which Sypha killed), Dracula (though he let it happen), Ratko, four Necromancers, Dragan [[spoiler: and even Death.]] The only villain who they don't kill or meet is Carmilla [[spoiler:who takes herself out trying to kill Isaac]].

* The eponymous heroine of ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' famously has the single highest body count of any Disney princess or any animated Disney character for that matter. Using just some fireworks which causes an avalanche Mulan annihilates the Mongul hord (an army of thousands) and by killing BigBad Shan Yu (who surived the avalanche) in the climax, her total villain kill count comes to '''1,995''' people.

* Being presented for the first time in ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'', the Franchise/{{Batman}} of this universe is a ravaging version of this superhero, not having the [[ThouShaltNotKill "don't kill rule"]] and eliminating most of the original's [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGallery Rogues Gallery]], with a few of them who let them live as their allies (like [[ComicBook/ThePenguin Oswald Cobblepot]]). This is because [[spoiler:the one who died in the alley was Bruce Wayne, which made their parents mad, with Thomas becoming Batman and having no mercy with villains... and Martha became mentally unstable and becoming ComicBook/TheJoker in this universe.]]
* After being killed by the Joker and resurrected, [[Characters/BatmanJasonTodd Jason Todd]] abandoned Batman's rule against lethal force and essentially became DC's equivalent of the Punisher, racking up a considerably high body count of criminals.
* Like with Jason, [[Characters/BatmanHuntress Helena Bertinelli]] also does not follow the no-killing rule which has led to her clashing with other superheroes, Batman being the biggest example.
* Mark Grayson the hero eponymous hero of ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' despite his best efforts isn't in a universe that allows for ThouShallNotKill like Marvel and DC, so has quite a large body count of Earth-based villains and intergalatic assholes such as Conquest, Angstrom Levy (he got better), Rus Livingston, Future Immortal, Dinosaurus, Re-Animan (mutiple times), Onann and Thragg.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Kaine, the PsychoPrototype clone of Spider-man, was introduced killing Dr. Octopus, and using his "Mark of Kaine" (which was a stronger version of Spider-man's ability to cling to any surfaces) to disfigure other criminals and minor villains. He later underwent a HeelFaceTurn and became one version of the ComicBook/ScarletSpider.
* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': Thor is certainly this, having easily the highest villain body count of the original Avengers and [[Really700YearsOld given how old he is]], it’s impossible to count or guess exactly how many foes the God of Thunder has killed. In the present day comics Thor has slain: ComicBook/{{Loki}} ([[JokerImmunity he got better]]), Gorr the God Butcher, The World Serpent, ComicBook/TheSentry (when he becomes a FallenHero), Desak Sterixian, Ragnarok (his EvilKnockOff), Harald Jaekelsson, Those Who Sit Above in Shadow, Glory, Ulik the Troll, Bor (his GruesomeGrandparent), Black Winter and even ComicBook/{{Galactus}}.

* Lampshaded in ''WebAnimation/HFIL'', where Cell is suprised to learn that all but three of the other [=MCMs=] present (Raditz, Super Kami Guru, and Freeza) were personally killed by Vegeta. And while it goes unstated, there were and additional two who had already left the program prior to Cell's arrival (Nappa and Cui) who were also killed by him.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'': Yuri Lowell is a former Imperial Knight who eventually [[DefectorFromDecadence came to despise]] the way that the wealthy and powerful got away with their crimes while forcing the lower classes to suffer injustices. He became a KnightErrant and {{Vigilante|Man}} willing to help others. During the game, Yuri and the group see this firsthand, with two completely unrepentant villains repeatedly getting away with their crimes because of their status, after which Yuri himself would target said villain and kill them. Flynn, Yuri's best friend and a high ranking knight who hopes to [[InternalReformist change things from within]], eventually finds out and the two duel, but the two come to an agreement that Flynn needs to remain TheParagon that inspires hope in the system while Yuri works as his [[PoisonousFriend "darker" counterpart]] who works outside of the law.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor has built up a very impressive kill count (either by their own hand or by providing other characters with the means to destroy a villain) over the course of [[LongRunners almost seventy years of the franchise running]] and many serials and ExpandedUniverse stories. These include three thousand Sea Devils in "The Sea Devils", the Sycorax Leader in "The Christmas Invasion", a being [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane heavily implied to be]] Satan himself in "The Satan Pit", countless Cybermen and Daleks (although the latter [[JokerImmunity have a real hard time staying gone for good]]) and ([[TimeyWimeyBall although the real tale is complicated]]) they were assumed to have killed all of the other Time Lords in the Last Time War when they went full OmnicidalManiac to try to win. The result: by the current time, the Doctor has developed a reputation as TheDreaded, which hinders just as often as if helps them.

* Hajime Nagumo from ''LightNovel/ArifuretaFromCommonplaceToWorldsStrongest'' always makes a point to always kill his enemies to make sure they don't come after him again, even if said enemies are [[WeUsedToBeFriends his old classmates]]. He blows away [[spoiler:Yukitoshi]] after seeing he was BeyondRedemption, much to the horror of his teacher, and later kills Cattleya, a demon that nearly kills his other classmates, who were equally shocked by his brutality. For context, Hajime was the class' BullyMagnet so his change is very jarring. Whenever they confront him on his actions he simply responds "they were my enemy".
* Guts of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' when it comes to slaying TheLegionsOfHell as TheBerserker HunterOfMonsters very few manga protagionists have a higher body count than Guts. He's killed 1000s of men, 1000s of demons and at least one EldritchAbomination with his {{BFS}} and plenty of rage, he's even killed ghosts.

** Kenshiro is the champion of bad-guy slaughtering in the post-apocalyptic hellscape that he lives in. Kenshiro kills vilains at least once per episode/chapter, [[GoodIsNotSoft and he does so in a very gruesome matter]]. His fighting style of Hokuto Shinken means that a time-delayed death is the norm, to the point that Kenshiro's CatchPhrase is "YouAreAlreadyDead" after using one of his moves. However, Kenshiro only restorts to killing bad guys who have [[BeyondRedemption participated in unforgivable actions to prove that they won't redeem themselves]], which earns him the title of "Savior of Century's End" among the populace.

** Kenshiro is manga/anime's reigning champion of bad-guy slaughtering. Kenshiro basically kills multiple bad guys almost every episode, and he does so in a very gruesome matter, his victims' body parts explode or their bodies get out of their control and end up killing them. That said, Kenshiro doesn't kill every single bad guy he encounters and there are numerous times he has spared them. He normally kills bad guys who have done or participated in unforgivable vile actions or try to murder him with malice. A few times, his act of mercy ended up backfiring on him or on other people, so the next time he met them, he made sure to kill them this time.

* Almost every BigBad and/or their [[TheDragon Dragon]] in ''Literature/AlexRider'' meets their death at the hands of the eponymous protagonist. While several villains are also killed by other characters, Alex has the highest kill count, as he kills at least one major antagonist in every book, though it's usually done either indirectly or in self-defense. This is even discussed in ''Scorpia'', where, when Alex claims he's never killed anyone, [[BigBad Julia Rothman]] points out that all of the villains he's gone up against have ended up dead due to his actions. Given the nature of Alex's previous kills, it's treated as a [[DarkerAndEdgier major turning point]] [[spoiler:in ''Scorpia Rising'', when Alex guns down [[TheDragon Julius Grief]] in cold blood after the latter killed his guardian Jack Starbright]].

* ComicBook/{{Thor}} is certainly this, having easily the highest villain body count of the original Avengers and [[Really700YearsOld given how old he is]], it’s impossible to count or guess exactly how many foes the God of Thunder has killed. In the present day comics Thor has slain: ComicBook/{{Loki}} ([[JokerImmunity he got better]]), Gorr the God Butcher, The World Serpent, ComicBook/TheSentry (when he becomes a FallenHero), Desak Sterixian, Ragnarok (his EvilKnockOff), Harald Jaekelsson, Those Who Sit Above in Shadow, Glory, Ulik the Troll, Bor (his GruesomeGrandparent), Black Winter and even ComicBook/{{Galactus}}.
