She ended up the evilest person on the planet from the trauma, which in Pathfinder is really saying something. Even Pit Fiends try to reign in her worst excesses.

* "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43382097/ The Ash Ketchum Chronicles]]" makes A.J.- a minor CharacterOfTheDay early in the anime- into an example of this, as his training methods include whipping his Beedril to provoke Rage and deliberately poisoning his Rattata to activate its Guts ability. He justifies this on the grounds that battles are brutal and the training must be equally brutal to ensure the Pokemon achieve their full potential, but Ash and his friends agree that A.J. is pushing his Pokemon too hard, to the extent that his Rattata passed out during a battle with Butterfree and A.J. blamed Rattata for not being strong enough to withstand the poisoning. He is briefly arrested for his treatment of the Pokemon, but is able to get off on that particular charge by convincing the jury that his Pokemon consented to the treatment.

* In ''Manhwa/WitchHunter'', Ryuhwan takes Tasha under his wing to help him complete the training he should have received from their master before she died. He promises Tasha that he will make Tasha as strong as him in one month. How does he do this? By transporting them and their partners into a sentient pocket dimension which can memorize the physical state of objects and reset them to the state they were when they entered it. Ryuhwan demonstrates this by ''shooting Tasha in the gut three times''. When Tasha is immediately healed, Ryuhwan explains that he is going to fight Tasha to the death over and over again until Tasha's combat skills reach his level.

** In [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1 the first movie]], Po gets abused by a dummy that knocks out a tooth, gets ensnared and cooked by the training devices ("There is now a level zero"), and gets beat on by four of the Furious Five and Master Shifu (although it could have been worse -- if Shifu had had Tigress face Po, she probably would have killed him). This is actually a subversion at first: Shifu doesn't want Po to actually complete the training, he wants Po to give up and go home. After Po [[HeroicResolve refuses to give up]] and Shifu changes his mind, the training gets less hellish but still rather difficult.

** Judges undergo a fifteen year training programme at the Academy of Law. Minor infractions (such as crying) can result in expulsion. Regular sessions in a DeadlyTrainingArea occur where cadets are trained in live fire conditions. After ten years, cadets undergo a "Hotdog Run"; a training mission in the Cursed Earth, a lawless wasteland that is the result of nuclear war. At the end of their training, they must undergo an on street assessment with a senior judge, which involves going on patrol and passing sentences on crimes. Minor mistakes can result in automatic failure. Even a near perfect patrol doesn't guarantee a rookie their full eagle, especially if a rookie is assigned to Dredd.

** The novel "Cursed Earth Asylum" makes Judge training even DarkerAndEdgier by going into greater depth what happens to cadets who get expelled. Not only are they forbidden to ever hold a job again, but they may even be subjected to brain surgery and memory erasure to remove sensitive information or lower their aggression levels.

* Col. Hunter Gathers favors this method twice in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' First, in a series of flashbacks, he is shown training future OneManArmy Brock Samson. He introduces himself with a steel baton to Brock's kneecap and later, after learning that Brock can't swim, forces him into a swimming pool with armed frogmen and a shark while Hunter tosses grenades into the pool. In another episode, when Hank Venture tries to join SPHINX [[HairTriggerSoundEffect (Sphinx!)]], he puts Hank through a series of difficult tests trying to ensure he fails. Hank, having endured far worse in his life as a boy adventurer and having learned directly from Brock Samson, passes every test, much to Hunter's surprise.
