* ''Manga/OnePiece'' features this in the final moments of Luffy's battle with Arlong. Luffy recognizes that the building they're fighting in has been Nami's jail cell, and resolves to destroy it. As he starts punching holes into the walls, an onlooking Nami recognizes the gesture for what it is and silently thanks Luffy as her tears start flowing. As an added bonus, Luffy does so by smashing Arlong through the floors of the tower, destroying Arlong Park and knocking Arlong totally unconscious.

* The only non-Biblical lyrics of traditional folk song "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_and_Delilah_%28song%29 Samson and Delilah]]", which are even its alternate title: "If I had my way, I'd tear this old building down" ([[Music/{{Garbage}} Shirley Manson]]'s [[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles version]] even invokes LetThePastBurn: "I'd burn this whole building down").

* "Burnin' The Woodshed Down" by Music/TheSteelDrivers. The narrator mentions how [[AbusiveParents his father beats him black and blue]], while his mother had died due to alcoholism. He ends up lighting up the house on fire to get back at his dad.
-->Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue\\
Broke his hickory stick in two\\
God only knows what I'm bound to do\\
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue\\
\\
So I'm burnin' the woodshed down\\
Gonna burn it to the ground\\
I'm gonna kick the ashes all around\\
I'm burnin' the woodshed down

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': This is definitely Lelouch's motivation for fighting against Britannia. He was born and raised in an aristocratic, totalitarian empire, which gets its kicks from invading other countries and subjugating them to their will. His father, the Emperor, didn't really care about what happens to its inhabitants, either, or [[spoiler:seemingly]] to his own mother when she's brutally murdered and his sister crippled, so when he gets a chance to disrupt things and wreck their shit he very much enjoys it.
