Laser-Guided Karma in Anime & Manga.

Works with their own pages

  • Arabian Nights: Adventures of Sinbad: Sinbad finds the sorcerer responsible for turning Shera into a bird and forces him to turn her back into a human. By the end of the episode, the sorcerer is transformed into a turkey and is never seen again.
  • In Assassination Classroom, whenever the higher-ranked students are shown to look down upon or make fun of Class E students, Koro-sensei helps them to get their revenge or something eventually happens to make them regret it unless Asano Sr. intervenes. In the end, Shiro/Yanagisawa, the Mad Scientist who was behind most of the misfortunes in the series, is left a vegetable while his antimatter experiments are officially outlawed, while Asano Sr. is forced to resign after his school's discriminatory policies are leaked into the public.
  • Wyald of Berserk is a hedonistic Apostle who is after the Band of the Hawk and Griffith in particular on orders from the King of Midland and has a particular delight in raping people. When he tries to do this to Guts' Love Interest Casca, Guts almost kills him despite being half-dead and "takes his weapon away from him" in graphic fashion. Things only get worse for Wyald when Zodd shows up to teach him a very painful lesson about trying to get in the way of Griffith's destiny as a Godhand and rips him in half for his trouble.
  • Happens surprisingly often in the Crapsack World manga Cage of Eden. A group of men who raped and killed Oomori's senpai are eaten by vicious carnivores. Two other students who helped Zaji build a raft and later pushed the others off, claiming to have planned to betray them all along find out that the island they were hoping to reach was just an illusion, and then they get eaten by a large aquatic dinosaur.
  • Case Closed:
    • The series being known for having plenty of Asshole Victims, whose cause of death are usually at the hands of someone they wronged or the families of their victims, many of their fates can be seen as this.
    • In the Mermaid Blush Case 239,Episode 724-725, Kaitou Kid who usually gets away with everything unscathed gets a well-deserved kick to the face by Sera for knocking her out and stealing her clothes for his disguise.
  • In Part 2 of Chainsaw Man, Denji allows several civilians to die to save a cat. Several chapters later, the second of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse manipulates him into going on a date with her with the intent of killing him after deeming his life to be worth less than that of a cat's.
  • Code Geass: Lelouch chose to wear a mask and use the Power of the King so he could invoke this.
    • Some of the stuff Lelouch does in Code Geass eventually bites him in the ass unintentionally. The Geass Cult he massacred? His army is appalled once they find out.
    • A bigger example would be V. V., who finally gets his just deserts when his brother Charles spots him at the gate to C's World and has had enough after his latest lie, so he takes his code and leaves him to die.
  • Cross Ange:
    • Invoked with Ange, the protagonist, in the very first episode. When she witnesses a Norma for the first timenote , while the mother was begging that she will take care of her kid, Ange's response is to tell her to just give birth to another one. Karma caught up with her the very next day on the biggest day of her yearnote  when she was found out in public that she's also a Norma. She then gets sent to Arzenal to fight and slaughter dragons like a slave while losing her mom, her family honor, and her entire life turned upside-down, with the mother of the Norma yelling "Serves you right!" as she is taken away. As it turns out, the rest of the mana society is leagues worse, as the townspeople are chanting for her death simply for being a norma when she is lured back by her brother, including the mother of the norma baby taken away. Ange's only sin was ignorance. These people on the other hand? Out and out supremacists by comparison and the fact that they can't think for themselves serves as little defense.
    • Speaking of her brother, Julio, who is responsible for most of the events mentioned above, used his army to order a genocide of all the normas after his original plan to have Ange killed failed. This comes back to bite him big time in episode 13 when Ange, who at this point has become a One-Woman Army, completely decimates much of his forces and was ready to kill unless he called off the massacre. Even after he does, Ange, who is understandably pissed at him, is prepared to kill him anyway, leaving him pleading for his life. Ange is about to deliver the final blow but is stopped by the series Big Bad, who proceeds to do the deed himself, taking Julio and a good chunk of his army down.
    • While she was doing what she did for the right reasons, and didn't deserve to get caught and Forced to Watch her comrades die in a trap, Riza, Julio's right hand and mole for the dragons, walked on a few eggshells in the process. Namely, helping depose a reasonably benevolent leader and sharing responsibility for the death of him and his wife, and their daughter (Ange) being exposed as a Norma and sent to Arzenal to die by the usurper she aided, who then attempts to finish her off himself when that fails. TWICE. Now all of that is one thing, but then she also compels the new ruler into opening a portal over Arzenal, resulting in half the island getting destroyed along with serious casualties. At this point, it should have been clear enough that the Arzenal residents, of which former Misurugi Ange was now one of, had been used as dragon-killing tools, and she could have come as an envoy and clarified her role. Finally, when an already distraught Sylvia stumbles on her in the act, Liza puts her under her draconic thrall, leading Sylvia to whipping her later as payback (albeit for various petty reasons included).
    • As of episode 22, you can say that all of mana society goes through this, thanks to Embryo's plan to merge the two worlds together which cause them to lose the ability to use mana. As they were very much dependent on mana before, being lost without it puts them in a very vulnerable and panicked state of chaos. When several of them come across Ange and demand that she help them escape, she is understandably pissed that they would have the balls to try and tells them to piss off. By the end of the series, Ange outright abandoned this high and mighty pompous community full of Hypocrites in their crumbling world, leaving only their spoiled minds to try and recover it, which would be difficult despite Ange technically leaving behind one hope in form of the aforementioned Sylvia, who has developed a slightly toughened attitude because Ange just scared the crap outta her and she just listed down why she was such a little prick in the past... Meanwhile, the Normas that they prejudiced, the DRAGONs that they made the Normas fight for their own safety... those two got the good karma strikes. After defeating Embryo, they take residence in the other original Earth where DRAGONs originated from and start rebuilding it in peace. Since they're not that dependant and their sufferings by the hands of Embryo and these Mana people toughened them up to be more self-sufficient, they fared better in rebuilding.
  • Demon King Daimao: In episode 3, Junko assembles a lynch mob to kill Akuto, only for Keena to say something that causes said lynch mob to turn on Junko as well. When Junko pleads with them that they've misunderstood and should listen to her explanation, Akuto points out that he's been trying to say the exact same thing to her almost since he arrived at school, and that they're unlikely to listen to her any more than she did to him.
  • Digimon Adventure: Myotismon gets karmic payback for everything that he did to the Digidestined but more specifically, for murdering Wizardmon. This causes Gatomon (whom he had previously enslaved and forced to work for him) to Digivolve into Angewomon, the Digimon predestined to kill him. The karmic retribution for the crap he put the others through comes when they combine their energies with hers to form an arrow she uses to shoot him through the heart and kill him (but not really).
  • DNA² provides us with Ryuuji Sugashita, an extremely successful playboy, who justifies his continuous cheating on his girlfriend Tomoko with him having such superior DNA that women can't help but throw themselves at him, and also adding that's why she'll never break up with him: her own DNA will force her to stay with him. Then Tomoko meets the Mega Playboy, who does have such a superior DNA that women can't help but throwing themselves at him, and she dumps Ryuuji and justifies her sudden feelings for the Mega Playboy with Ryuuji's own speech on DNA.
  • Every Dragon Ball villain (except Beerus) falls "victim" to this trope, usually via Kick the Dog that invokes a Heroic Second Wind.
    • In an early episode of the original Dragon Ball, Master Roshi says that whichever student succeeds during training will get to eat while the other won't. Krillin cheats to win, but that night's dinner turns out to be pufferfish...which Launch prepared improperly, meaning Krillin gets sick while Goku doesn't.
    • One of Frieza's henchmen finds a survivor in a Namekian village that had been wiped out and, after learning that Vegeta was responsible and had taken the Dragon Ball, kills him For the Evulz. Upon hearing the henchman's report, Frieza's reaction is, "So you killed the only witness?" He has just enough time for a serious Oh, Crap! before Frieza slaughters him.
    • Beerus eventually got his in Dragon Ball Super when Zeno revealed that Universe 7 had the second-lowest mortal rating of all 12 universes because of his pettiness and would have destroyed it if not for Goku's proposal for the multiversal tournament.
    • In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Frieza forces Broly to fight despite Broly generally hating violence, and pushes him past his Rage Breaking Point by killing his Abusive Dad, Paragus. This comes back to bite him when Broly, now a Super Saiyan, proceeds to beat Frieza into a pulp for an entire hour while Goku and Vegeta are working out the Fusion Dance.
  • Mr. Don in Eyeshield 21 had earlier used Gaou as his punching bag and ran Yamato out of Notre Dame. In the Japan vs. America game, those two are the first who end up beating him for the first time.
  • Probably about 90%-95% of the death toll or sufferers of A Fate Worse Than Death in Franken Fran are the result of this, although some of them are rather excessive. Chapter 10 is probably the worst here. An arrogant germophobe who sees the rest of humanity as immoral, filthy fools who need to be educated and improved by the "elite" gets swarmed by cockroaches, nearly raped, has all her skin burned off, and gets skin grafts made from cockroach exoskeletons. The stress causes her to go insane and try to tear off her skin. An epilogue page in the collection shows her to have recovered from her insanity and attempt to remove her own skin... only for the graft to have gone wrong and her face to be covered in living, twitching cockroach legs.
  • In Fullmetal Alchemist, this is applied to a few of the Homunculi. Gluttony, who ate his victims, was himself devoured by Pride. Envy killed himself when in his helpless maggot-form the humans started pitying him, and Pride was Brought Down to Normal, made into the human boy whose form he was inhabiting, despite being extremely, well, proud of his homunculus superiority.
    • One of things that really bit Pride in the keister was his habit of devouring his beaten comrades. Turns out he should have been more careful because one of his victims is able to keep his consciousness in his mindscape and helps the hero at a critical moment.
    • It says something for the precision of Envy's aforementioned karma that his moment of "ultimate humiliation" leading to his death was not only caused by the realization of his own envy, but even had some of the audience pitying him, after waiting the majority of the show for his ultimate comeuppance for killing Hughes and kickstarting the Ishvalan Civil War.
  • Hell Girl plays with this exceptionally well. Not only you can get thrown into hell for as much as making your personal stalker angry, but Ai and her subordinates will make you relive your worst nightmares right before doing so.
    • In addition, those who use Ai's services are, themselves, doomed to hell when they eventually die. In this series, karma is a double-edged sword.
  • In Innocent Venus, both Jin and Drake are killed by their pet-project war machines which are driven by the brains of little children cloned for the purpose and then implanted in the 'gladiators', where they obviously undergo horror and torment. When they get a chance for revenge, they're not particularly forgiving.
  • Inuyashiki features some literal examples of this trope:
    • In the first episode, Inuyashiki happens upon some middle school boys tormenting a homeless man, preparing to kill him. After scaring them off with some Beam Spam, he then hijacks television signals around the country to broadcast their crimes, along with their faces and names, destroying their lives.
    • Later on, Inuyashiki lays siege to an entire yakuza family after one member kidnaps a young girl to drug and rape. In the end, he uses Beam Spam to shoot out their eyes and sever their spinal cords, leaving them blind and paralyzed from the neck down.
  • Seraphim gets this in Is This A Zombie? when she decides not to follow through with the hit on Eucliwood. One episode later, when she's killed in an ambush, Eu was on hand to supply blood to revive her.
  • JoJo's Bizarre Adventure loves this trope, especially when it comes to main villains:
    • Kars, villain of Battle Tendency and leader of the Pillar Men, craved the Red Stone of Aja to become a perfect being and surpass his weakness to the sun. Through trickery, he manages to steal the Red Stone and gets exactly what he wanted. He would have won if his final battle against Joseph wasn't happening near a volcano. He decides to finish off Joseph with a Hamon far stronger than his, but he hits the Red Stone of Aja instead, which in turn amplifies the energy, and the volcano erupts, and a series of events lead Kars to be launched to space, forever undying but powerless to do anything. To add the final nail in the karmic coffin, the final thing that blocks him from avoiding this fate is Joseph's severed arm that he cut off moments earlier.
    • From Stardust Crusaders onwards, the series uses a Monster of the Week format, so minor villains who commit nasty strings of karma are pretty much beaten up by the heroes as fast and spectacular as they appear. Particular stand-outs are Part 3's Steely Dannote  and Golden Wind's Cioccolatanote .
    • In Diamond is Unbreakable, Yoshikage Kira is a twisted Serial Killer who kills for sexual pleasure and fetishizes and cuts away the hands of women he kills. In his final battle against the heroes, an ambulance arrives at the area due to the house he made explode, and after a severe beatdown from Jotaro, he falls in the middle of the street, the ambulance drives back and crushes his head against the tires. But what makes this truly karmic is what happens after his death, as he realizes his soul is stuck in a limbo between the world of the living and the dead, and after being tricked by the ghosts of his first murdered girl and her dead dog, he gets Dragged Off to Hell by hundreds of hands.
  • Jujutsu Kaisen: The Zen'in clan spent their existence looking down upon Maki, both for her being a woman and her lack of cursed energy; meanwhile propping up Megumi as the dreamed of male heir the clan needed with his legendary Ten Shadows Technique. Not only is Megumi utterly uninstered in them, their attempt to get rid of Maki once and for all turns her into the World's Strongest Woman, and as revenge for killing her sister, she goes scorched earth on them, killing every single member of the clan and even spending time going after the ones who weren't at the mansion to ensure the clan's erasure.
  • In an early chapter of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, there's a torrential downpour and Kaguya tries to engineer a situation where Miyuki will have to ask her for a ride home. While waiting for him by the school gates, her maid Hayasaka asks "How exactly am I supposed to get home?", and Kaguya dismissively replies "Walk?" Hayasaka says "You shouldn't take me for granted or you'll receive divine punishment", and almost instantly a gust of wind nearly blows Kaguya's umbrella out of her hands (prompting her to claim that she was just kidding, and she'd called for a taxi). However, this is followed by Miyuki racing by on his bicycle, kicking up water and soaking Kaguya, who comes down with a cold the next day (and gets an I Told You So from Hayasaka).
  • In the first revival round of the Liar Game, interestingly Nao chose the one man who apologized to her after the rest of the contestants turned against her, to get kicked out of the game. When he asked why, she explained this revival round was a chance for one person to escape from the game and be free from debt. So after she won the round, she gave him her winnings, which was enough to pay off his debts and walk away from the game a "free man".
    • Also done more negatively to Yokoya. By bullying and blackmailing his team in the Second Game, he had them all under his rule. However, in the end, three of them turned traitor to the other team and were able to successfully pay off their debts with the help of Nao and Akiyama
  • Love Hina:
    • Throughout much of the first part of the series, Motoko constantly belittled Keitaro for his failed attempts to get into Tokyo U. After the first Time Skip, Motoko herself is trying to get into Tokyo U and has discovered firsthand just how tough it is.
    • Naru (and all the other girls by extension — yes, even Shinobu, who never lifted a finger against Keitaro) also gets some when Kanako comes along and subjects her to everything she did to Keitaro during the first part, particularly since Keitaro took notes on the specifics of the torture she put him through.
  • In Chapters 74 and 75 of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, it is revealed Kanna was tricked into playing with the powerful magical item by Azad, a human wizard ally of her father's resulting in her banishment, and the trickster knew because of her history with other pranks, her trying to pass off blame to someone else would be ignored. Now, at the present time, Kanna meets the trickster and secretly records their conversation when he gloats about his actions, how he hates all dragon kind, and is playing both dragon factions against each other. Kanna records the whole thing on her tape recorder and, when Kobayashi and Tohru arrive in the nearby battlefield where a battle is about to happen, sends the message to them by her cellphone, destroying his reputation on both sides.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam Franchise:
    • Wong Lee in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam proved to be a jerk and a bully who put the profits of Anaheim Electronics over the needs of the AEUG, going so far as to beat Kamille Bidan to a pulp and calling it "correcting". When he returns in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, he's put into his place by Judau, greatly humbled by the young teen.
    • Tubarov and Quinze in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. Tubarov dies when the Mobile Dolls that he held to be superior to manned suits were reprogrammed into destroying his base. Quinze was killed by the original Gundam Scientists on board the crippled battleship Libra while attempting a Colony Drop at the end of the series; the Colony Drop being what Operation Meteor originally was, and the very Gundam Scientists who retooled it to be the less deadly version we saw ended up giving their lives to prevent Quinze from making it happen.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has a good few examples...
  • Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun:
    • Seo's infamously violent conduct while playing basketball comes to back to bite her when the school is doing ball games tournaments. Her class refuses flat out to let her join the basketball group since she'd surely constantly foul and cause her team to lose, so she's sullenly forced into the table tennis team.
    • The same Seo toys with Wakamatsu so much that, by the time she decides to come clean and admit to him that she's Lorelei, he doesn't believe her. Nozaki is predictably amused that she got what's coming to her.
  • Happens to Overhaul at the end of the Shie Hassaikai Arc of My Hero Academia. After permanently erasing Lemillion's Quirk, he taunts him over all his efforts and years spent honing his skills having been reduced to nothing. After Overhaul's defeated by Deku, Tomura assaults the convoy transporting him and takes his arms, rendering him unable to use his Quirk while giving him the same taunts he gave Lemillion almost word-for-word and leaving him screaming in anguish.
  • My Monster Secret: Being a Butt-Monkey, pretty much all of Aizawa Ryou's antics end up backfiring on him (not that he doesn't deserve it):
    • He deliberately used a female disguise for his earth infiltration, for the dual purposes of sneaking into the girls' bath and for finagling money out of people. Unfortunately, the only person he manages to get the attention of is Shimada, which typically results in Ryou being on the receiving end of massive Squick whenever Shimada starts to flirt with him.
    • On the rare occasion that he manages to locate a stash of food to pilfer, said food ends up belonging to Akane, who has such a strong Sweet Tooth who once tried to destroy earth by summoning an Eldritch Abomination because someone ate her cookies. It doesn't end well for him.
    • Pretty much any other time he tries to either slack off or otherwise abuse the resources of the mission that he's on, it won't be long before his sister finds out and takes it upon herself to straighten him out.
  • Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto abuses his Mangekyo Sharingan so much during the fights with Killer B, the Kages, Danzo, and finally Team 7, his vision completely vanishes just as he completes Susano'o. However, it didn't stick.
  • Comedic example in Negima! Magister Negi Magi. Chamo makes fun of Negi in his internal monologue and instantly gets hit by a car. He's an Iron Butt-Monkey, so it all works out.
    • Non-comedic example: Quartum cuts Chachamaru in half, then suffers the same fate at the hands of Negi.
  • No Longer Allowed in Another World: When the elder of Toneriko village decides to resume the casino's business and sell World Tree leaves as a drug does the World Tree die instantly, having unwittingly driven off its guardian spirit when they assume she was a witch who sided with the otherworlders.
  • Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Abe no Seimei's first act upon his rebirth as the Nue is to betray his mother Hagoromo Gitsune, who had endured countless reincarnations and spent centuries trying to bring him back, and cast her into Hell. While it takes a while, karma does catch up to him; Hagoromo Gitsune eventually returns, understandably furious with him, and plays an instrumental role in his defeat and death.
  • Osomatsu-san:
    • After the hell Iyami put the Matsunos through in Black Factory, he gets a taste of his own medicine when his teeth are exploited for their mineral value at the same place at the end of Episode 6.
    • Todomatsu got his after he pissed off his brothers and lied about his life situation in order to pick up chicks. The brothers basically embarrassed him to the point where his reputation with the Sutabaa baristas is shattered beyond repair.
    • When the brothers discover that Iyami and Chibita scammed them out of millions of yen in "Iyami and Chibita's Rental Girlfriend", they lock the two in a tiger cage and charge them an even larger sum of money to rent the key (with the amount increasing each time they accept).
  • Pet Shop of Horrors demonstrates both sides of the Karmic Coin, though to be honest the dark side more often. However, the episode with the little girl who wants a bodyguard, and treats him kindly and with care, stands out as a heartwarming moment for the series.
  • In Princess Mononoke, the whole mess was started when Eboshi started using the iron from her foundry to produce guns with which she drove out or killed the spirits of the forests that she needed to tear down to expand her business. In the end, she gets defeated by the head of the giant wolf spirit she just killed. But since she ran the foundry and gun factory mostly to provide jobs and homes for the outcasts of society rather than for her personal profit, she survived having her whole arm ripped off, but won't ever shoot any guns again.
  • After a millennia of forcing innocent girls to die painful, horrific deaths and getting away with it, Kyubey and his entire species finally get what's coming to them at the end of Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion. Being an entirely emotionless species that sees humans as cattle, the Incubators have never felt any reluctance or guilt about doing so. Then Homura repurposed them into her new universe — where they suddenly felt the pain and despair of all the girls they'd harvested and were forced to bear it as their victims had borne it. Kyubey's plans: destroyed beyond repair. His species: enslaved by one of his own "cattle" to serve as the outlet for all the curses of the world. Kyubey himself: Mind Raped.
  • Ramen Fighter Miki: Parodied when Megumi, just seconds after tries to curse Miki with The Power of Hate nailing a wara ningyo to a sacred tree, sees Kayahara Sensei falling from that same tree and takes her for a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl that is going to curse Megumi.
  • Rosario + Vampire: Deshiko Deshi, one of the members of the corrupt Security Committee. Like all the other members of the committee, she regularly abused her authority and made the other students' lives hell For the Evulz, until Tsukune's Unwanted Harem take down her leader Kuyou. By the time of her reappearance in Capu2 episode 8, a year after Kuyou's downfall, she's been reduced to a sad, pathetic wretch and a target of ridicule for the very same students she used to victimize.
  • Rurouni Kenshin provides plenty of this. Even for Kenshin.
    • One chapter features Kenshin pitted against a foe by the name of Senkaku, a towering, hulking pinheaded thug armed with bladed knuckles, the same speed which our hero can achieve, and is the bullish tyrant who dominated a village for his master's conquests, going as far as even murdering a boy's family for the simple act of leaving. Though he hopes to best Kenshin to gain brownie points from his boss, he is tricked into utterly tearing apart his knee muscles from being goaded into speeding up as fast as our hero, who had better training to adjust to his level of agility, and used his hulking mass to his advantage by merely gradually speeding up and forcing him to his limits. After this, he is subjected to three people's verbal breakdowns: one from Kenshin, who lets Senkaku know why his body gave out, and puts him under fire for his atrocities, bringing to him the realization of his actions; one from Saito, who explains how Kenshin's tactics worked and gives him a faceful of ironic humble pie; and one from his aforementioned boss, Shishio, who nails it in that he knew from the start that he had no chance in hell of defeating Kenshin, lets him know that a personal execution is in store for him for being embarrassingly defeated by not even getting his foe to draw his sword, letting him know of how much worth he truly is to his master and ups the shame factor to 11. By the end of this, he is shipped off to the authorities to be tortured and up on the block for Death Row, while the anime shows that he escapes — And is put to death by right-hand man Sojiro, who still follows the group's "Kill or Be Killed" mentality and is not convinced of his turn of cheek.
  • Sailor Moon:
  • Suzy's Zoo: Daisuki! Witzy has the "Swift and Instant" type in Witzy Plays a Joke. For each of Witzy's friends he played "the joke" on, he caused Patches to accidentally threw his toy train into the air (and then stepping on it while attempting to flee), caused Lulla to throw his newly cleaned socks onto the ground, dirtying them again, and caused Boof to throw the donuts meant for him onto the ground and rendering them inedible.
  • Sword Art Online gives us Nobuyuki Sugou, aka Oberon. He's shown to be a complete scumbag when he's introduced, conspiring to marry Asuna (who hated his guts even before being trapped in SAO), trapping her mind in another VRMMO, then near the end of the Fairy Dance arc, tortures Kirito by running him through and decreasing his pain inhibitor while sexually assaulting Asuna, all the while promising to rape her comatose body in the real world. Karma comes in the form of Akihiko Kayaba's digital ghost giving Kirito administrative control, so he can set Sugou's pain inhibitor to level zero and beat him so badly, he started going partially blind in the real world. On top of that, when he tries to kill Kirito in the real world as revenge, Kirito overpowers him and leaves him unconscious in a parking lot, where he's arrested and incarcerated.
  • Dark Yugi / Pharaoh Atem of Yu-Gi-Oh! loves the crap out of this trope. He's the laser-guider in which whenever a villain of the chapter (in the first dozen volumes) causes trouble, he uses that specific action against them, especially when he knows they are cheating in his Shadow Games. In the Duelist Kingdom arc, he pretty much Mind Rapes two guys with his Penalty Games because of their crimes (one was tricked into thinking a puppet of himself was attacking him when he tried to mock the [then in a coma] Kaiba with his puppetry, and one was trapped in an illusion where he was hung at the gallows after threatening to hang Yugi).
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seto Kaiba losing to Yugi in the Battle City Finals counts as this as he was being rather arrogantly obnoxious throughout the whole tournament thinking he has it in the bag, had no concern for the injured duelists well-being, and did a cruel moment to Jonouchi before the match-up. To elaborate further, he loses his Egyptian God Card and his chance of being a champion in his own tournament that was only designed for him to win from the guy he thought that he could easily win against with his supposed 'perfect' strategy.
  • World's End Harem
    • While it isn't seen, the group of bullies who made Shota Doi's life a living hell as well as his other classmates before he went into cryostasis most likely got a does of this. They knew he was dying from a degenerative disease and still belittle him, and many make it clear they don't really care if he dies to his face. Considering the nature of the plague that wiped out the male half of humanity, it is likely they die offscreen, especially the bullies.
      • Takamatsu would always taunt Shota as "disgusting" and wishing the boy was dead. Shota quietly returned the favor. Shota's wish is the one that gets answered, thanks to the MK-virus. The way the virus is described as operating, it wasn't an easy death either.
      • Erica's brought to Doi and he humiliates her by making her kiss one of the cigarette burns her boyfriend left of his leg. He also downright tells her she won't have sex with her.
