* At first, [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] [[stealing the earrings]] and becoming ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'' merely robs Chat Noir of a competent and caring partner, forcing him to shoulder most of the work when battling akumas while his cohort [[GloryHound steals the credit and the fame]]. But she vaults over the line in "Gamer", when she decides that the akuma offers the ''perfect'' opportunity to [[MurderTheHypotenuse get rid of Marinette]]. Not only does she use her yo-yo to trip Marinette while she's trying to run away, once Chat saves her, she leads Gamer on a merry chase after the pair, ruining their attempts to shake him off.

After saving Mikoto, Naruto stops trying to bring Sasuke back to Konoha and starts trying to kill him.
** Other Konoha shinobi consider Sasuke beyond redemption when, during a plot to break out several high security prisoners, Sasuke has [[spoiler:Iruka]] killed, mostly because while every other death is to insure the plan's success, [[spoiler:Iruka's]] was only because Sasuke knew it would hurt Naruto.

* Sasuke in ''Fanfic/{{Eroninja}}'' is finally considered beyond redemption by Naruto ''Fanfic/TruePotential'':
** During the Kiri Civil War arc, the "bloodline hunter" Karitoriki quickly shows himself to be an irredeemable monster
when not only does he tries whip up a civilian village's toxic hatred of people with Bloodline Limits, but he takes out five captive and brutalizes Bloodline-bearing people for a public execution. When Shikamaru and Haku show up to save them and take him out, he gleefully activates a series of explosive seals on the five captives' hearts that explode their chests and kill his own mother for having informed Konoha of them all instantly, with the Uchiha clan's coup. After saving Mikoto, Naruto stops trying to bring Sasuke back to Konoha victims including a surviving member of Haku's clan and starts trying to kill him.

** At the end of the Takigakure Invasion arc, Suien and Kakuzu, upon realizing their side is losing and they're likely going to die, both decide to try and
kill Kiba, who overheard as many Taki civilians as they can before they go down. While Anko manages to stop and kill Suien before he can pull it off, Naruto and Hinata aren't so lucky with Kakuzu.
** In an effort to ruin Jiraiya's attempts to negotiate peace with the Fourth Raikage and Kumogakure, Danzo has Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame follow Jiraiya's group to the meeting ground, murder the Raikage's trusted bodyguard Cee, and try their damndest to kill him as well (or, failing that, turn him even further against Konoha).
** The battle between Onoki and Rōshi vs. Suzumebachi and Edo-Tensei Mū sees multiple crossings of the MEH. First, Suzumebachi bringing along the Second Tsuchikage as a revenant is seen by Onoki as a disgusting violation (and even Mū himself thinks of the whole affair as "morally bankrupt", even if he doesn't agree with the direction Onoki has taken the village in). Then, when Rōshi is beaten down, he pleads with Son Goku, the 4-Tailed Beast, for more power, even using his name. Instead, the 4-Tails refuses and forces Rōshi into unconsciousness out of petty spite, laughing as he leaves his Host unable to help and stop what comes next. That "comes next" being Suzumebachi, after winning by exhausting Onoki into unconsciousness, [[spoiler:coldly murdering him. This is also seen in-universe as a MEH crossing - the entirety of the spectating population of Iwa, even the plentiful people who'd been supporting Suzumebachi's bid for the Tsuchikage position, go mute with shocked horror and are soon baying for

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'':
** Alan Jonah crosses it when he uses [[TwoBeingsOneBody San and Vivienne Graham]] as guinea pigs for brutal experiments including testing ammunition on them due to their Ghidorah-derived HealingFactor. InUniverse, Vivienne certainly feels he's absolutely crossed the line when it's revealed in Chapter 6 that he's been [[spoiler:using the mercenaries' refugee labor as unwilling test-subjects]] for experiments with Ghidorah's DNA, [[spoiler:turning them into zombies]].
** With San's brothers Ichi and Ni (Ghidorah's [[MultipleHeadCase middle and right heads]] respectively), it's definitely not a case of if but ''when'' they cross it. They destroyed numerous alien worlds before arriving on ancient Earth (San and Ni/Elder Brother could probably be excluded from this MEH, due to San's [[TheAtoner Atoner]] CharacterDevelopment coupled with the implication Ichi/Eldest Brother was the trio's leader); Ichi/Eldest Brother ordered San to transform Vivienne into an InhumanHuman ArtificialHybrid with the intention of granting her a FateWorseThanDeath as extremely sadistic DisproportionateRetribution for her ''accidentally'' pressing Ichi's TraumaButton; [[spoiler:and Ghidorah has been attempting vicious MindRape and {{Breaking Speech}}es on Viv and San ever since its minds resurrected, never mind Ichi having [=MaNi=] inflict ColdBloodedTorture on them]].
*** The absolute latest possible MEH crossing for [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother is when [[spoiler:he mercilessly and ferociously tortures Vivienne while using RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil psychology, and he attempts to tear her and San apart so that he can kill San in front of her in the same way that Ichi/Eldest Brother originally killed Vivienne]].
** ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'': If [[AbusivePrecursors the Makers]] who oversaw [[StartOfDarkness Ghidorah's creation]] didn't cross it by ''brutally'' converting the Dorats into their three-headed form, then they crossed it by setting the resulting PersonOfMassDestruction that's capable of ''single-handedly erasing civilizations and most other life on a planet-wide scale'' on a rival planet to commit [[FinalSolution total genocide]] against the inhabitants.

** It's definitely not a case of if but ''when'' Ichi and Ni (the [[MultipleHeadCase middle and right heads]] on Ghidorah) cross the line. The fic's plot occurs partly because Ichi, in response to Vivienne pushing his TraumaButton without even realizing it while Ghidorah was inert in the Antarctic ice, orders San (the left head) to forcibly revive her inside his head and [[ArtificialHybrid remake her into a part-Ghidorah monster]] as a {{fate worse than death}}. [[spoiler:Once Ghidorah at large starts coming back to life, Ichi and Ni episodically {{mind rape}} the transhuman Vivienne and the redeemed San, they happily exploit [[UndeadAbomination the Many]]'s slaughter and assimilation of humans and animals into their psychotic HiveMind and [[BodyHorror undead biomass]] (which even San finds appalling, comparing it to what the Makers did to them in their StartOfDarkness). They're completely over the line when they capture Vivienne, and Ni as [=MaNi=] gleefully tortures Vivienne and attempts to [[ForcedToWatch kill San]] while Ichi gleefully watches and taunts them]].

* ''Fanfic/TheSunWillComeUpAndTheSeasonsWillChange'': Dana Summer is shown to be an abusive mother to her daughter Mary because Mary has autism. Dana refuses to understand her daughter and blames her for all of her problems. Dana tries to make her daughter's behavior and autism worse than it is and tries to find ways to cure Mary's autism; even if there is no cure, some of those so-called cures are dangerous, and there are ways to deal with them. But in chapter 9, when Dana's husband Todd and their older daughter Reagan read Dana's blog, they were horrified and outraged to learn how much Dana hated Mary, that Dana actually believed that Mary would grow up to be a potential school shooter, and is even considering having Mary sterilized once she turns 18.
