* At the end of ''Film/TheCrow'', crime lord Top Dollar gives the avenging Eric Draven the speech after he [[InTheBack impales him through the back]]. He admits that he's ultimately responsible for the death of Eric and his girlfriend Shelley, and expresses admiration for what he considered a WorthyOpponent. As he gets ready to slit Eric's throat, Eric gives back what Top Dollar's owed -- the combined memories of 30 hours of pain as Shelley lay dying from the wounds inflicted by Top Dollar's gang.

Many anime use this as a [[InactionSequence technique to drag out the fights]].

** [[spoiler:Also, the people he's talking to aren't really his enemies but former comrades, and he believes that he can convince them that he's right and UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans. He partially succeeds]].

'''Kirk:''' No! No! Of all the-- son of a-- Couldn't you have waited two seconds? He was just about to explain the whole thing!\\

** Strangely enough, it's {{subverted|Trope}} by chatty villain Blackbeard, who blows off [[spoiler:Crocodile]]'s question of why he's in [[spoiler:Impel Down after just becoming a Warlord of the Sea. Maybe a factor on why it succeeds]]. Later on he explains his plan to the Marines...but only after [[YouAreTooLate it's]] ''[[YouAreTooLate already succeeded]]'' [[YouAreTooLate and it's too late for them to do anything.]]

** [[spoiler:Aizen]] ''loves'' this trope. He has routinely spent as many pages as he possibly could when given the opportunity to monologue about his plans, intentions, and knowledge. If you consider [[spoiler:Aizen is a Magnificent Bastard whose plans have been going on for, at least, a century, he must have been holding his gloating for one HECK of a long time. Since he has endured Gotei 13 for so much time]], it's only fair to assume he wants payback and talk their ears out on how weak, immature or otherwise flawed they are. Not to mention his gloatings are supposed to make people enraged and throw them out of focus so they can be defeated, cue to [[spoiler:Hiyori getting cut in half by Gin.]] Case in point: during the original [[TheReveal reveal]] at the end of the Sould Society arc, Aizen spends nearly two episodes explaining his plan, and even getting interrupted by a giant punch from Komamura can't stop him.

* ''Fanfic/{{Cain}}'': After revealing that he [[ForWantOfANail overheard All Might offering to train him]], Katsuki makes a point of cornering Izuku every chance he gets and gloating about how ''he's'' going to become their idol's successor instead by forcing his way into their training sessions and impressing All Might. He also makes clear that he's going to ensure Izuku ''never'' achieves any of his dreams and spends the rest of his life as a "miserable, worthless deku".

* ''Fanfic/TheOneToMakeItStay'': The prequel ''Thinking of Ways'' reveals that most of the members of Kitty Section [[ExactEavesdropping overheard]] Lila during one of these exchanges with Marinette. While they were already starting to figure out her true nature due to [[ForWantOfANail Rose asking Prince Ali about her]], this firmly cemented their knowledge of what they were dealing with.
