* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''
** Happens in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'', with poor, poor Jonathan Joestar. Since his youth, he'd had to deal with his evil adopted brother Dio Brando beating and humiliating him, kissing his girl, killing his dog, trying to poison his father and steal his inheritance. And then things take a turn for the worse when Dio murders his father as a HumanSacrifice to become a vampire, and goes on a killing spree and now Jonathan must stop him. So eventually, it seems like he's finally defeated Dio, he's married Erina, they're on their honeymoon... [[spoiler:and then Dio comes back as a severed head and mortally wounds him, setting the ship on fire and forcing Jonathan to sacrifice himself to stop Dio once and for all. He never even lived to see his and Erina's child be born]].

** The worst is probably [[spoiler:Richard Braun, who had a lovely daughter that he was finally going to meet. He didn't drink anymore, he was getting his life together, and he had finally found peace. Then Johan shows up, and something inside us dies; poor Richard falls right into his trap, just the night before he was supposed to see his daughter, and Johan heartlessly manipulates him not only into going OffTheWagon, but [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]]]]. If you didn't hate Johan by that point, you probably did right after that.

** Shinji... poor, poor Shinji. The universe seems to have it out for this poor kid, such that anytime that things begin to look up for him or he tries to do something heroic or badass, ''something'' will inevitably happen to smack him right back down and send him into another HeroicBSOD or worse. Specific example: That kind, charming young boy without any debilitating emotional trauma who actually cares for you? [[spoiler:He's actually an Angel, and you have to kill him.]] Sorry. As well as mid-series, where he begins to get some confidence, it seems that he has some chance to reconcile with his dad, and he feels in general a bit more like the hero of a more optimistic giant robot series -- needless to say, it doesn't last.

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': Upon trapping her victims in a death trap, Maria does what [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]] does where she presents them an ultimatum where they'll have the slimmest chance of being spared (typically involving self-mutilation on some level). Unlike Jigsaw however, she'll eventually reveal a cruel twist where the odds were naturally stacked against them and that they were effectively doomed from the start.
