* In the manga version of ''WebComic/OnePunchMan'', a scantily-clad lizard-girl named Raptora falls victim to a poison gas trap set by Child Emperor and is prominently seen dying on the floor while foaming at the mouth. Her technically topless twin sister Raptera is absorbed by a monster and later gets spat out unconscious in an alluring pose with comically crossed-out eyes. The same arc also had two versions of the dominatrix Do-S being cruelly KilledOffscreen by Sweet Mask, and later a scene lingers on her motionless head-crushed body for a while before she turns out to be NotQuiteDead and regenerates by consuming monster blood that was dripping from the walls.

* In the OVA ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration The Animation'', a civilian girl named Wong Linghue is made into the LivingBattery of a Bartoll and is consumed by the machine's ODE System. Her pale naked corpse falls out of the robot suspended by wires, and we last see her being zipped up in a body bag while the narrator talks about how human lives are expendable. In ''Gaiden'''s adaptation of the OVA's events, a villainess named Gigi Lou fights the protagonists with the Bartoll instead. Upon being defeated and killed, her corpse is said to have outright [[BodyHorror turned into a lump of flesh]], but the manga adaptation changes it to her at least dying beautiful like Wong did in the OVA.
