** Downplayed when Eto talks to Souta [[spoiler: Furuta Washuu]]; the two of them exchange jabs and cryptic threats, before, as he leaves, she casually asks him what it's like to not be able to acknowledge his father. Souta totally drops his usual Clown persona and slams into the glass separating them, repeating the word "Die" several times, and is later shown outside mumbling to himself, though he hurriedly puts his usual attitude back on when someone walks by. This is one of the only things anyone's said that might've gotten to him at any point in the series.

* ''Manga/LifeIsMoney'': The entire point of the DeadlyGame that the manga revolves around, where enough emotional distress will kill the participants in what is called a mental over. Since physical violence is prohibited, the best way to eliminate the other players is to confront them with their psychological trauma by talking. Several characters are killed this way:
** [[spoiler: Ishimakura is killed by being mercilessly and profanely taunted about his weight. Most of the other characters join in a chorus of telling him to die, which reminds him of his childhood experiences with bullying.]]
