* In Season 201, [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Looma Red Wind]] confuses [[WebComic/{{Consolers}} Square Enix]] for her father and kills him. This is really odd, considering that Looma is a MAJOR DaddysGirl in-canon. That is, until you realize... Looma's father, Gar Red Wind, died in Season 154, the Father's Day Special. With this in mind, she likely killed Square Enix out of sadness, grief, and the impossibility of him ''actually'' being her father.

* The romance of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Corrin]][[AuthorAvatar !]]@/{{Revaryk}} and [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Mettaton]] in Season 84. The two of them kiss, and then watch fireworks together - however, Mettaton sadly dies of an infection (somehow) during the Feast, causing [=Corrin!Revaryk=] to burst into tears. After seeking [[FriendsWithBenefits comfort]] from [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection Suzuya]], she ultimately meets her end after she is crucified by the [[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation Cleveland Cavaliers.]]

* A recent example in Game 236: When fellow [[Music/PetShopBoys band member]] Chris Lowe died after taking the ice bucket challenge, Neil Tennant decided to relive his fellow singer's memories the following night. KLS summed it up in the comment regarding the event:
-->'''Tropers/KLS2097:''' Suddenly, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2aMaMkDwTA Always On My Mind]]" is now [[HarsherInHindsight a thing I'll never hear the same way again]], [[{{Tearjerker}} given that it gone down a deeper path in this game]].

* The tragic tale of [[VideoGame/{{Spore}} Julio]] in Season 211 is one heck of a doozy. After his girlfriend, Romiette, dies, he tries to ask [[UsefulNotes/FGCAces Tokido]] out, only to be rejected. Shortly after that, [[VideoGame/HalfLife a strider]] dreams about robbing a bank and holding him hostage, along with a few other tributes. Not able to go through with that, the same strider settles for beating him up the next day. Eventually, he seems to find love in the form of [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Maul]]. They even do it together... [[HopeSpot Only for Maul to kill him THE VERY NEXT DAY]]. All of this is made even worse by the fact that Julio ''never even killed anyone''.

* The abuse [[WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol Panther Cap]] inflicted upon [[VideoGame/SuperDanganRonpa2 Kazuichi Souda]] all throughout Season 179 is incredibly sad, especially when you bear in mind that Kazuichi canonically has trust issues as a result of a betrayal he experienced in middle school. Add the fact that Panther Cap’s abuse of him included forcing him to kill other tributes, before [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness killing him himself at the very end,]] and you have the possible interpretation that he used Kazuichi’s status as the "token tol" of the season for his own selfish goals.

* In Season 188, [[VideoGame/SuperDanganRonpa2 Mikan Tsumiki]] is one of four tributes to be killed and mutated into a Frankenstein monster by [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Nelson Muntz,]] who was a customer of her shop merely a day prior. This death ends up being HarsherInHindsight once you realize that Mikan is constantly bullied in her source material, and that Nelson is a notorious bully himself.

* Sadly, a meta example. On the 12th of April, 2018, Tropers/TroperNo9001 delivered the bad news that postimg.org is currently locked by Registry, intending to resolve the issue. With the majority of the seasons having had pics hosted on said site, she was contemplating a HeroicBSOD.

* [[Tropers/KLS2097 KLS]] nominated [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket members Jessie and James]] in Season 208. Initially starting off well, things took a dark turn when Jessie was killed off by [[Creator/EriKitamura Kitaeri]]. After learning this, James infamously [[DespairEventHorizon cursed KLS the following night for nominating both him and Jessie]], before [[spoiler: [[DrivenToSuicide killing himself in a suicide machine the following day]].]]

** [[FromBadToWorse Things only get worse]] for Kazuichi in season 196. As soon as the season begins, he finds himself smitten with Franchise/DonkeyKong, whom he was making out with in the woods. The two of them were so engrossed in their activity and so intent on staying together that they killed [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV Yotsuyu]] when he tried to break them up. Sadly, on Day 3, Donkey Kong is killed and dismembered by [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Homsar.]] From there, Kazuichi enters [[HeroicBSOD a state of depression]] and takes it out on [[Disney/FindingNemo Marlin and Nemo,]] almost killing them. After the two clownfish [[DefeatMeansFriendship forgive and befriend him,]] things seem to be getting better for him... but then he falls to his death while skydiving, having neglected to attach a parachute. While it's entirely possible that his death was a terrible accident, given everything he's been through, it could just as easily be [[DrivenToSuicide something else...]]

* In Season 183, the abrupt end to the [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Tomura Shigaraki]]/[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 Emperor]] [[WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand Zurg]] [[CrackPairing romance]] really struck a chord with the participants. They appeared to be the Season's OneTruePairing, [[HomosexualReproduction having]] a [[MisterSeahorse child]] together and playing strip poker not long after. Their relationship came to an end when Zurg was eaten by a swarm of Mongolian death worms. At first, Tomura seemed unbothered, telling other tributes to [[WebAnimation/ASDFMovie do the flop]] with him, telling ghost stories with other tributes, and writing his will in case he ended up dying. However, come Night Six, he is seen yelling about how life is pain. It seems that his cheer was only a mask. Not only that, but come Night Seven, [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Marluxia]] is implied to [[ComfortingTheWidow have picked]] Tomura up [[OnTheRebound on the rebound]] when they're shown enjoying a hot spring together, [[FromBadToWorse but then]] Marluxia ends up murdered by [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Regula van Hydrus]] ''the very next day''. Seriously, poor Tomura. [[spoiler:Though, on a more lighthearted note, he does end up winning the season.]]
