* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** The beginning of the final day of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'', case 2-4. [[spoiler: Maya's been kidnapped by a professional assassin, who wants him to get an acquittal for the client-of-the-week in exchange for Maya's life. Phoenix then has to spend the first day breaking one of the biggest [[TheWoobie woobies]] in the series to achieve his goal, only to find out that his client is guilty. On top of that, just when the player thinks they found out where Maya is being kept, the assassin slipped right out of the police's grasp, leaving them back to square one on where to find her, the player is given a YouBastard moment by said woobie, and now Phoenix has to decide between proving his client guilty or saving Maya's life. All while the client is standing there and mocking you.]]
** In The Forgotten Turnabout of ''VisualNovel/GyakutenKenji2'', [[spoiler:Kay was attacked by a mysterious mastermind and suffered amnesia and was implicated for the murder of a PIC member. Then the Chairman of the PIC, Blaise Debeste entered and shows his abuse of power by twisting the truth to have Kay convicted of the murder no matter what evidence Edgeworth tried to argue with. Then realizing the corruption in the PIC, Edgeworth gives up his badge and whole career as a prosecutor]].
* The tail end of [[spoiler:Beatrice]]'s trial in ''VisualNovel/TyrionCuthbertAttorneyOfTheArcane'', for Tyrion. For the first time in the game, his final Argument against the culprit [[HopelessBossFight cannot be won]], and his last resort (the Empowered Eye) is nullified [[spoiler:by Marrunath]]. His thoughts just before the would-be verdict show that he feels like he's alone and a failure, not able to trust anyone, convinced that he's being used by everybody (including Tymora and Celeste). He only gets out of this hopeless situation thanks to a DeusExMachina.

* The end of Hong Gildong arc in ''Manhwa/ShinAngyoOnshi''. The main character [[spoiler: willingly traps himself in a LotusEaterMachine which he considered a FateWorseThanDeath]] betting on OneInAMillionChance of breaking free versus certain death otherwise. His main companion [[spoiler: is deceived into working for the BigBad]]. AntiVillain antagonists of the arc [[spoiler: are mostly dead.]] The main character's former old friend [[spoiler: remains undead in the thrall to the BigBad, and is revealed to be unable to die or to break free unless his body is completely obliterated]]. The city that the protagonists protected in the arc [[spoiler: is taken over by the BigBad]]. The BigBad decides to stop fooling around and get to the businness of [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]], revealing his vast true power and his array of superhuman henchmen. Few good guys still standing are being manipulated by him.
** It gets ''So. Much. Worse'' in the final battle. After a gruesome battle where Munsu loses his right arm just to redeem Sando, Aji Tae appears, and decides to make a little show of power... obliterating his stronghold and most of the battlefield in one go, killing most of the characters in there, including his henchmen. Then, almost dead from blood loss and the cost of using the mandrake getting to him, Munsu still doesn't have any other idea against Aji Tae rather than claiming that he is Aji Tae's origin (And thus, his death could affect Aji Tae). Aji Tae thus decides to make a point blowing up Munsu's eye and other arm, and showing he considered that option, and that's why he used another EldritchAbomination as insurance to avoid the worst case scenario. DesperationAttack only mean getting instakilled, and it looks like Munsu just succumbed...
** [[spoiler:And then Munsu decides to have the very best death ever and show the bastard who's boss.]]

* In ''Theatre/{{Hadestown}}'', the song "If It's True" functions as this. Hades, after brutally mocking Orpheus for his optimism, orders his workers to beat him senseless, and it seems that nothing can convince Hades to let Eurydice go. Even worse, Eurydice came willingly, instead of by force as Orpheus thought--she lost faith in Orpheus' ability to provide for her and song to bring back spring, leaving for the security of Hadestown. All this ruins Orpheus so badly that he considers leaving without Eurydice, until he realizes the Workers are singing with him and renewing his hope.

Compare SpiritualHeroRebirth, the first of the dark hours. May overlap with NearVillainVictory. The CorneredRattleSnake is someone who begins to fight back despite appearing to have no chance of survival. HopeSpringsEternal is the natural conclusion of such a moment... unless, of course, the story features a DownerEnding. A SecondChapterCliffhanger is often characterized by this.
