History Main / GottaKillThemAll

* A slight subversion of this trope is the central plot of ''GashBell''. Although you don't technically kill your enemies (you just send them back to the alternate dimension where they came from), the effect is the same.

* This is pretty much the goal of every ''MonsterHunter'' game, since the majority of quests ask you to kill a certain monster, which you can carve afterwards to get useful parts to build armors and weapons with. Subverted when you're asked to capture a monster alive, but it's a rarer occurrence.

* ''KamenRiderDecade'' has the titular hero being told that, in order to avert the collapse of TheMultiverse, he has to travel to the realities of the last nine Heisei ''Kamen Rider'' series and kill all of the heroes. He refuses, of course, and helps the Riders. [[spoiler: It turns out that the collapse proceeded apace, accelerated by the villains but inevitable with or without them. When Decade was provoked into going to his SuperpoweredEvilSide, slaughtering all Riders as Decade Fury, the worlds, no longer being forced together by the Riders' powers, were all restored to their original states - including the slain Riders. It turned out plan A ''was the right one'' and EverybodyLives in the end.]]

Not related to KillEmAll - directly, anyway.

* Because Skynet has little information about Sarah Connor's 1980s whereabouts other than that she lived in Los Angeles at the time, as soon as he arrives the {{Terminator}} simply looks up "Sarah Connor" in the phone book and goes down the list killing anyone with that name - it even gets him labelled the "phone book killer" by the media.

* ''{{Tombstone}}'' - After Wyatt Earp's family is attacked by the red-sash wearing Cowboys, he declares, "From now on I see a red sash, I kill the man wearing it."

* The various Franchise/{{Metroid}} evolutions in ''VideoGame/{{Metroid2}}: The Return Of Samus''.
** And, consequentially, the various forms of X in ''MetroidFusion''.

* The various Metroid evolutions in ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}} 2: The Return Of Samus''.

* Dragons in ''FinalFantasyVI''

* Basically each and every MegaMan game force you into beating a set of eight bosses before you fight the BigBad.

Many a RoaringRampageOfRevenge plot will involve the hero hunting down each bad guy on his hit-list in GottaKillThemAll fashion and slowly working his way up to the BigBad behind it all for the final showdown. Or it may involve a villain hunting down another BigBad and beats his minions, commanders, eventually leading to a showdown between the villain and the BigBad in order to become an AscendedDemon.

* [[NoNameGiven The Bride]] of ''Film/KillBill'' literally has a list. She sets out to kill the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad who attacked her on her wedding day, murdered her fiancé and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat her to coma.]]

* The Four Sisters in ''DeltoraQuest''.

*** It may not have been a problem at all. From what I can tell, Shadow Dragons can live without Dragon Balls, they probably just get weaker or something from doing so, since that's the source of their power.

* ''VideoGame/S4League''[='=]s Chaser mode. Each round, one player is randomly designated as the Chaser and has to kill all of the other players, who have to [[HoldTheLine defend themselves until the time runs out]]. The Chaser gets bonus points for killing whoever has the most points of anyone alive, and gains extra points if they kill every opponent while depriving the victims of any points (15 if alive when time runs out, 5 if dead but other players survive).

* In ''KindHeartsAndCoronets'', Louis Mazzini, illegitemate member of the D'Ascoyne family, kills off eight members of the family in order to become the Duke of D'Ascoyne. Bonus -- the eight D'Ascoynes are all played by Alec Guiness!

* Though you don't actually ''kill'' them, the whole point of the main series ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games is to defeat the Gym Leaders in each city by knocking out their Pokémon, so you can defeat the Elite Four and subsequently, the regional Champion. The Frontier Brains can qualify as [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] in regard to this goal, though.

* The goal of {{Crackdown}} is simply to kill about 20 different gang bosses, and a skilled player could simply charge off and get to work immediately upon starting a new game. Of course, leveling up your skills and finding new weapons will help out a lot.

* Vaccines: Same as above, the ultimate finish line would be the complete erradication of a/all disease. Still a long way to go, but we're making progress.

* Harry's quest in ''HarryPotter [[HarryPotter/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows and The Deathly Hallows]]'' have him searching for Voldemort's [[SoulJar Horcruxes]], which keep him alive while they are intact.

* The members of the ''United Assassins Association'' in ''NVideoGame/oMoreHeroes''. As the main character, Travis has to murder the top ten ranked assassins in the nation, one by one, to rise through the ranks and gain the top spot for himself.
