* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': Acro (aka Ken Dingling)'s suffering in a list. First, his parents abandoned him and his brother, forcing them to join the circus (lessened by the fact that the ringmaster is the nicest guy you'll meet. Acro dedicates himself to repaying his kindness). [[spoiler: Some time later, the ringmaster's daughter Regina gave Bat a scarf covered in pepper, to get him back for all the times he teased ''her'' with it. He then proceeded to go "If I can put my head in the lion's mouth you have to take me to the movies!" The lion sneezed with his head inside, putting him in a coma. Acro tried to save him, but that just put him in a wheelchair. Shame she's so innocent and naive that she believes Bat is just a star in the sky, making Acro think she's making fun of the whole thing. He plans on murdering her, but after a series of events, he ends up accidentally murdering the ringmaster, the man that has been his father figure all these years.]]

* Kiritsugu of ''Literature/FateZero'' is a lot like the guy in the trope description, except his life is ''even worse''. It all starts with a TroubledBackstoryFlashback to when he was a kid living on an island with his dad and a {{Love Interest|s}}. [[spoiler:She suddenly turns into a zombie, and because Kiritsugu fails to MercyKill her, she turns everyone else he knows into zombies. When he learns that his dad caused this by screwing around with magic, he stabs his father to death. Then, a female zombie hunter drags him away from the miniature ZombieApocalypse. She becomes his mother figure, so, naturally, he ends up being forced to kill her when she gets stuck on a plane infested with zombies. During the series proper, his only companions are his homunculus wife, her daughter, and his sort-of-mistress female partner. They all end up dead or permanently separated from him, some of them by his own unwilling hand. Kiritsugu himself ends up with some kind of IncurableCoughOfDeath so that he won't be around for the sequel series, and all he has left in the end is some random kid he found in the wreckage after he obliterated the Grail (the series' MacGuffin which could have invoked UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans) because it was "corrupted" and no longer usable. Thus, everything he did since the series proper, all his sacrifices and dirty business, was pointless. Did we mention the Grail was kinda-sorta his wife? [[note]] She was a catalyst for it.
