* ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'': Kabru, despite his friendly, sociable demeanor, is ''scarily'' efficient and brutal in combat, using every opportunity he can to get the drop on his opponents and kill them as quickly as possible. Even the SoleSurvivor of a group of corpse retrievers desparately begging for his life does not deter Kabru from killing him in the slightest. [[spoiler: When [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Falin]] starts initiating a TotalPartyKill on the adventurers, he sneaks up on her, jumps on her back, slashes her throat and stabs her in three of her vital organs; unfortunately, [[NoSell this does little more than irritate her]], and he's promptly offed [[DeathIsCheap (but revived later)]]]].

* Euron Greyjoy from ''Literature/ASongofIceandFire''. As cruel and petty he is, Euron doesn't waste time getting rid of his opponents and potential threats to his rule, after becoming king. One of the first things he does is to have Aeron captured and taken captive in his Silence before he could spread dissent and have the Drowned Men hunted down by Erik Ironmaker. He also neutralizes Asha as a political threat, after she ran away immediately after the Kingsmoot, by having her married to Erik Ironmaker with a seal in her stead.

* [[Characters/RickAndMortyEvilMorty Evil Morty]] from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. His defining trait. When Evil Morty wants something, he will achieve it, no matter the odds, and is smart enough to causally pre-empt any and most threats that could derail his plans along the way, especially anything a Rick throws at him. It says something that he's never once actually suffered a genuine loss in the show, and has made it clear several times that if he wanted to, he could easily deal with Main Rick and Morty, but that's non-essential to his overarching goal of simply living a life away from the Rick-Morty escapades -- in fact, he outlines to Morty that it would actually be detrimental to him if he bothered to kill them and inspired vengeance from their family. The ultimate sign of this is him causally taking down Rick Prime, Main Rick's nemesis that he's been hunting fruitlessly for decades, and making it look utterly trivial to do, mainly from annoyance that Main Rick's efforts were interfering with his life outside the curve.

* [[Characters/Invincible2021OmniMan Nolan Grayson aka Omni-Man]] from ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021''. Trying to defeat the Guardians, he wastes no time in cold-bloodedly murdering them, exchanging no words, and focusing on killing as many as he can. In the episode after, he commits a total genocide on the Flaxans to eliminate their threat to his plans without wasting any time.

* Following her example, Kang the Conqueror debuting in ''Film/AntmanAndTheWaspQuantumania''. Unlike He Who Remains and his other variants, Kang is a completely serious man who is entirely focused on trying conquer any and all worlds that stand in his way.

** The biggest example in the series, however, would be [[ProfessionalKiller Toji]] [[MageKiller Fushiguro]]. If there's a target he's been paid to eliminate, that person is DEAD, no questions asked. [[spoiler: Sukuna and Jogo will usually make their precense known to their enemies, whether it's to intimidate them or examine the situation at hand. Toji doesn't even do that and immediately goes right for the throat out of nowhere - literally in Gojo's case, along with disemboweling him and and stabbing him through his brain. On top of that, he actually succeeds in his misson of killing Riko, ''then'' [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] Geto afterwards, only sparing him so he can [[CruelMercy live with the shame of losing to a non-sorcerer]]. When he discovers that Gojo has [[CameBackStrong come back from the verge of death stronger than before thanks to discovering the Reversed Cursed Technique]], Toji fights him even ''more'' ferociously than he did the last time, [[VillainousValour to the bitter end]].]]

** [[spoiler: After showing his true colors, [[Characters/AmphibiaKingAndrias King Andrias]] proves to be not the kind of villain who plays or messes around with his enemies. If he sees you as a threat to his plans of multiversal conquest, no matter big or small, he will try to kill you right away, even using tactics that go on ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill territory.]]
** [[spoiler:[[Characters/AmphibiaTheCore The Core]], fittingly Andrias' master, also counts. Once they have Anne in their clutches, they don't waste time and immediately opt to go for the kill. They only spare her when she points out that they [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou don't know what will happen to her Calamity powers when she dies]], and even after they decide to spare her, it's ''only'' to figure out how to extract them before they then kill her immediately.]]
