History YouHaveFailedMe / AnimeAndManga

** ''Anime/YuGiOhSeason0'' had Kaiba doing this with his brother Mokuba. This was the first series based on ''Manga/YuGiOh'', and Mokuba wasn't Kaiba's MoralityPet there.

** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': When [[TheDragon Enya the Hag]] is defeated, the heroes take her along to later interrogate her to learn [[BigBad DIO]]'s Stand ability. Upon reaching the nearest town, they are encountered by [[VillainOfTheWeek Steely Dan]], who claims DIO sent him to kill Enya for revealing his secret to the heroes. Despite Enya's plead that she did not betray DIO, Steely Dan still kills her as punishment for failing DIO.

** The conspiracy group Baroque Works holds this as the penalty for any agents failing their assigned mission. While none of them like it (except insofar as it gets them promoted), most of the Officer Agents treat it merely as part of the job.
** Donquixote Doflamingo does this to Bellamy after he [[CurbStompBattle loses to Luffy]] for disgracing his flag by using his [[MarionetteMaster powers]] to force Sarquiss to kill him; however Bellamy survives. He later attempts it again on [[spoiler:Gecko Moria, apparently on orders of someone in the World Government who outranks Sengoku, as it would be better for the Seven Warlords of the Sea's reputation]]. Turns out [[spoiler:Bellamy got a second chance. Apparently, if you really do your best and you aren't an arrogant jackass, Doflamingo will be a BenevolentBoss to you. Moria also managed to escape]].

** During the Saiyan Saga in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', Vegeta kills his partner Nappa after he gets his ass kicked by Goku, considering Nappa to be no use to him as a Saiyan warrior considering how Goku made an idiot out of him and broke Nappa's spine.

* Used in ''Manga/NuraRiseOfTheYokaiClan''. Interestingly, this isn't used just to [[KickTheDog demonstrate]] that the BigBad is a dick. One of the protagonist's [[NobleDemon youkai allies]] uses this to infer that the BigBad in question is extremely confident and has legitimate reason to be so.

* ''Manga/{{Reborn}}'' has the Varia, the Vongola crime family's elite assassination squad, who have a ''stated policy'' of killing those who fail. One of the reasons they're so tough is their tradition of "erasing the weak," meaning those who fail in a mission are swiftly put to death by one of the others. This may be closer to an InformedAbility, as we've only actually seen them carry out the policy once, and the victim survived and was even allowed to rejoin the unit.

* ''Manga/InitialD'': Kyoichi punishes Seiji for losing to Takumi's 86 with an ArmorPiercingSlap.

** ''Manga/StardustCrusaders'': When [[TheDragon Enya the Hag]] is defeated, the heroes take her along to later interrogate her to learn [[BigBad DIO]]'s Stand ability. Upon reaching the nearest town, they are encountered by [[VillainOfTheWeek Steely Dan]], who claims DIO sent him to kill Enya for revealing his secret to the heroes. Despite Enya's plead that she did not betray DIO, Steely Dan still kills her as punishment for failing DIO.
** ''Manga/StoneOcean'': Enrico Pucci kills Johngalli A. with his own pistol, both for losing to Jolyne and to keep his identity a secret.

* In ''Lightnovel/FullMetalPanic: [[OddlyNamedSequel The Second Raid]]'', a RunningGag sees AxCrazy PsychoForHire Gates do this to quite a lot of subordinates for any number of random reasons. It's mostly played for BlackComedy, if only because of the utterly insane ways he does it: In one case, he shoots a man who gainsaid him in the head point blank and then argues with his corpse for a good thirty seconds before noticing he is dead, ''and then starts bemoaning the man's sudden and unexpected death and wonders how it happened''.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Subverted repeatedly.

** [[spoiler:Aizen (almost) murdering Halibel, and later Tousen.]]

* Averted in ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'', where [[YoungConqueror Reinhard]] doesn't kill any of his admirals despite some of them having some rather spectacular failures. Especially in the case of HotBlooded Admiral Bittenfeld, who walks into an obvious trap that ends in Admiral [[spoiler:Fahrenheit]] dying in an attempt to bail him out, which would certainly get him killed by Vader, but gets to fight again and distinguishes himself in the following battle.

* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'', when [[TheDragon Enya the Hag]] is defeated, the heroes take her along to later interrogate her to learn [[BigBad DIO]]'s Stand ability. Upon reaching the nearest town, they are encountered by [[VillainOfTheWeek Steely Dan]], who claims DIO sent him to kill Enya for revealing his secret to the heroes. Despite Enya's plead that she did not betray DIO, Steely Dan still kills her as punishment for failing DIO.

** [=MetalSeadramon=] kills Scorpiomon after he fails to capture and incapacitate all 8 of the kids (Joe and Mimi escape). Though it must be said Scorpiomon failed ''big time'' and multiple times before [=MetalSeadramon=] did him in, and that [=MetalSeadramon=] was probably the least BadBoss out of all the ''Digimon Adventure'' villains.
** The above is true because this is rampant in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure''. As of the other Dark Masters, Machinedramon kills [=WaruMonzaemon=] after he's defeated by the kids, and Puppetmon shoots Blossomon and Mushroomon after they let TK slip away.

** In ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' Duskmon says Arbormon (who was just defeated) has become a liability because he has lost his Beast Spirit before casually slicing him.

** Donquixote Doflamingo does this to Bellamy after he [[CurbStompBattle loses to Luffy]] for disgracing his flag by using his [[MarionetteMaster powers]] to force Sarquiss to kill him; however Bellamy survives. He later attempts it again on [[spoiler:Gecko Moria, apparently on orders of someone in the World Government who outranks Sengoku, as it would be better for the Seven Warlords of the Sea's reputation]]. Turns out [[spoiler:Bellamy got a second chance. Apparently, if you really do your best and you aren't an arrogant jackass, Doflamingo will be a BenevolentBoss to you]].

* In ''Manga/ShamanKing'', Hao does this to three random shamans by burning them alive after their failure to capture and get their revenge on Lyserg. [[DissonantSerenity And retains his calm, cheery attitude in doing so.]]

* In ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', this action sets off the Greenback Jane arc. The boss of the counterfeiting ring decides to do this to motivate everyone else. Problem is: he killed the only person who could access the servers that had the patterns, wrecking the entire operation. Then, Jane manages to escape and seeks refuge within the [[CorruptChurch Ripoff Church]]...

** The above is true because this is rampant in ''Digimon Adventure''. As of the other Dark Masters, Machinedramon kills [=WaruMonzaemon=] after he's defeated by the kids, and Puppetmon shoots Blossomon and Mushroomon after they let TK slip away.

* ''Manga/Reborn2004'' has the Varia, the Vongola crime family's elite assassination squad, who have a ''stated policy'' of killing those who fail. One of the reasons they're so tough is their tradition of "erasing the weak," meaning those who fail in a mission are swiftly put to death by one of the others. This may be closer to an InformedAbility, as we've only actually seen them carry out the policy once, and the victim survived and was even allowed to rejoin the unit.

** This practice is also probably the reason that no youmas in Series 1 ever attempt to flee when outmatched. In Episode 05, Jadeite calmly informs youma Kyurene that should she fail at her task, her life is forfeit... so when she indeed fails, she only flies a short distance away and then does not try to run away when Sailor Moon attacks her -- probably knowing she is doomed to die either way.

* ''Anime/{{Yu Gi Oh|First Anime Series}}'' Season 0 had Kaiba doing this with his brother Mokuba. This was the first series based on ''Manga/YuGiOh'', and Mokuba wasn't Kaiba's MoralityPet there.
* ''Anime/{{Yu Gi Oh}}'' Season 3 has [[spoiler:Noah]] pull this one on [[spoiler: The Big 5]] when [[spoiler:they lie about giving Tristan's body back and try to take the other bodies by force.]] Given how much that [[spoiler: Noah]] hates cheaters, it's no surprise that he stepped in. Although, he may just have stopped this from happening solely because he believes that it makes him look bad and that he doesn't really care about cheaters otherwise. It really doesn't help that [[spoiler: The Big 5 lost all but one duel, and even still technically lost the one time they defeated an opponent.]] You have failed, indeed.

** ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' sees Ark, an Aqua Admin, ordered to stay behind and defend team headquarters while Archie, Amber, Angie, and the Magma alumni take the Kaien I to the Cave of Origin. To be fair to Archie, Ark should have known better about when and around who to indulge in EvilGloating. To be fair to Ark, however, Sapphire is harder to kill than the lot of them anticipated.
** Also from Special, Malva does ''not'' know the meaning of mercy. She doesn't hesitate to order her Pyroar to point-blank ''Flamethrower'' grunts who fail their missions. One grunt is spared after ''some'' torture for at completing at least part of his mission, and another is presumably killed as he isn't shown getting back up. The only reason why the Flare scientists haven't gotten this treatment is that they still have their uses.

** [=MetalSeadramon=] from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' kills Scorpiomon after he fails to capture and incapacitate all 8 of the kids (Joe and Mimi escape). Though it must be said Scorpiomon failed ''big time'' and multiple times before [=MetalSeadramon=] did him in, and that [=MetalSeadramon=] was probably the least BadBoss out of all the ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' villains.
** Machinedramon also kills [=WaruMonzaemon=] after he's defeated by the kids, and Puppetmon shoots Blossomon and Mushroomon after they let TK slip away. And the most famous, Myotismon's killing of Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon [[MinionWithAnFInEvil when they fail at being evil]]. Myotismon did this ''a lot'' actually. Very few of his minions survived till the end of the arc and at least half of them were killed by him for this reason, and most of those that did were absorbed to fuel his OneWingedAngel form.
