* In ''LightNovel/{{Overlord|2012}}'', Zanac leads an army on behalf of the Re-Estize Kingdom to parley with Ainz and attempt to negotiate an end to the war with the Sorcerer Kingdom. Though their talk fails to get Ainz to end the war, [[WorthyOpponent both rulers manage to reach a sense of understanding and mutual respect.]] However, while Zanac [[FaceDeathWithDignity has resigned himself to die in battle]], the nobles under him have a different idea: they [[spoiler:kill him and [[DecapitationPresentation offer his severed head]] as a gift]] in the hopes that Ainz will spare their lives. Ainz rewards the nobles by [[spoiler:sending them and their families to [[TotureTechnician Neuronist]], later sending her instructions [[ColdBloodedTorture to not kill them until they beg for death]] ([[CruelAndUnusualDeath and to not kill them too quickly when they do]]); after all, in Nazarick, death is a mercy that frees one from suffering, [[EvenEvilHasStandards and in Ainz's eyes]], [[DirtyCoward the treacherous nobles]] deserve no such mercy]]. Not content with that, Ainz decides that [[spoiler:the Re-Estize Kingdom is no longer worth his leniency, and orders his forces to [[LeaveNoSurvivors kill every last soldier and citizen he hasn't spared yet]]]].

* ''Manga/RankingOfKings'': Douma is guilty of betraying Bojji's trust by voting against him becoming king despite being the closest to him as his mentor. [[spoiler:Once Daida takes over as a king, he admonishes him and threatens to get rid of him, pointing out that such a betrayal of the trust of a member of the royal family makes him inherently unreliable to have around. He instead gave him the task to assassinate Bojji to regain his trust, which itself makes matters even worse, as in the process, he is left an emotional wreck for doing such a thing, loses his hand in a subsequent confrontation, and can't return to the palace.]]

* ''LightNovel/HowARealistHeroRebuiltTheKingdom'': When Gaius Amidonia and his troops are camping and preparing to attack the city of Altomura, the local lord is seeking to surrender his city to Gaius just after he convinces his people to not HoldTheLine and make it a LastStand situation.

* In the ALO arc of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', one member of the Sylphs tries to sell out his race (which is in the process of allying with the Cait Sith), to the Salamanders, who are in a powerful position now and are expected to be even better off in the next patch, so that he can reroll as a Salamander.

* Herr Gutheimer in ''Manga/{{Adolf}}'' is a Jewish businessman who has dealings with Nazi-affiliated companies. This does absolutely nothing to deter the Nazis from sending him and most of his family to the camps.
* The anime OVA of ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'' has this combined with YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness. [[spoiler: Iason has successfully used former Bison gang member Kirie to sell out and destroy the gang. When Kirie shows up to collect his reward money, he's instead taken away, ''{{Brainwashed}}'' and turned into an unthinking and obedient [[SexSlave Pet]].]]
* ''Anime/CasshanRobotHunter'': Happens to the human prisoner who betrays Luna and his fellow prisoners' escape attempt, under the assumption that ''he'd'' be freed.
* In ''Manga/DGrayMan'' Suman Dark is defeated by Tyki Mikk and begs for his life. He is offered to survive if he betrays his comrades. After all his good deeds, Tyki thanks him by having him [[CruelAndUnusualDeath devoured from inside by flesh-eating butterflies]].
* In the Franchise/{{Digimon}} movie ''[[Anime/DigimonXEvolution X-Evolution]]'', after [=WarGreymon=] X gathers a group of Digimon in an attempt to band them together for survival against the KnightTemplar Royal Knights, Andromon reveals that he's already come into contact with them. When Omegamon arrives, he's one of those gunned down by the Jogressed Ultimate.
* ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' has this attempted when Pinocchimon steals Taiki's Digivice to have [=GrandLocomon=] allow him out of their Zone. Naturally, [=GrandLocomon=] takes it for himself and nearly kills Pinocchimon in turn.
* In ''Manga/FairyTail'''s Tartarus arc, the former head of the magic council, Crawford, is revealed to have allied with the demons for a hefty amount of gold despite knowing that they plan to wipe out all magic on the continent and kill all humans when they're defenseless. However, to do so, the demons need to kill the other former members who're living keys to activate the doomsday weapon. When down to one last key which Jellal has, Crawford uses his magic to transfer the key to himself with the intention of passing it on to someone else that the demons can kill. [[DidNotThinkThisThrough You can guess what happens when he shows this to the demons.]]
* The manga ''Franchise/{{Gundam}} Legacy'' has a particularly extreme example in its final story arc, where some [[TheRemnant Zeon remnants]] launch a plan to [[NukeEm nuke their former home colony]]. The betrayal, [[MoralMyopia at least in their eyes]], is that most of Zeon surrendered after losing the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One-Year War]] rather than fighting to the very last man, [[DisproportionateRetribution which is apparently a crime worthy of killing millions of innocents]].
* In the ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' manga, the captain of a aircraft carrier, the HMS ''Invincible'', turns it over to Millennium (turning the rest of the crew into ghouls in the process) in exchange for becoming a vampire. Rip Van Winkle arrives, congratulates him, informs him that his new orders are to "provide nutrients for the fish" and blows him away with her gun. When this happens in OVA 4, she makes sure to point out that he "betrayed his TrueCompanions" just for his own benefit. Although it's worth noting this paints her as a massive {{Hypocrite}}. At the beginning of that same OVA, she helped [[BigBad The Major]] betray their superior officers, who they ([[ILied falsely]]) promised to turn into vampires in exchange for their financial support.
* ''LightNovel/HowARealistHeroRebuiltTheKingdom'': When Gaius Amidonia and his troops are camping and preparing to attack the city of Altomura, the local lord is seeking to surrender his city to Gaius just after he convinces his people to not HoldTheLine and make it a LastStand situation. Gaius agrees to the deal, but once the man leaves he states to his troops his intent to kill the man [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once accomplishes that goal]].

He works out that she's going behind the king's back and hopes to use him to advance herself. After he's rescued by Yunis and the others in the next chapter, he rejects Cass's offer to ally with him to save herself and [[KillItWithFire burns her alive]].
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Open_for_Business!_The_Leaf_Moving_Service Episode #187]]: When the Lord of the Land of Vegetables is betrayed by his people, the collaborators are dispatched by the band of bandits they betrayed their feudal lord to. [[DiscussedTrope When the last one to be killed asks why, the villain recites this trope.]]
* In the ALO arc of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', one member of the Sylphs tries to sell out his race (which is in the process of allying with the Cait Sith), to the Salamanders, who are in a powerful position now and are expected to be even better off in the next patch, so that he can reroll as a Salamander. The plot fails thanks to Kirito's intervention and the traitor is exiled, but the Sylph leader suspects that even if the traitor's plan had succeeded, it's unlikely that the Salamander leader would have kept his end of the bargain.
* In ''Manga/ToLoveRu'', during Trouble Quest, almost all the characters are trapped in a VR game that seems to have MagicalGirl Kyoko from Lala's favorite ShowWithinAShow as the BigBad. Run, The Queen and her posse all agree to stop the progress of Rito and Lala's group in exchange for being sent home. Run ends up being chased by the pervert Principal (again) and Aya's would-be spell renders her own team topless. Their betrayal must have angered Yami, for she doesn't even punish Rito for gawking at them when this happens. In the end, not being with the main group has them all forgotten about when Kyoko is revealed as [[spoiler:Lala's even more irresponsible sisters, testing Lala's circle of Earth friends]]. As a result, they are transported to the Amazon, where wackiness ensues.
* During ''Manga/VinlandSaga'', half of Askeladd's men turn traitor during a SternChase to escape [[BloodKnight Thorkell]], and capture Askeladd. When Thorkell finally catch up to the waiting (and surrendering) traitors, he 'rewards' them by letting them pick up their own weapons again so they can die honourably and go to Valhalla when his men kill them. He leaves Askeladd alive.
