This Is Unforgivable / Video Games

This Is Unforgivable! moments in Video Games.

---

• In the Ace Attorney series, there are two things Phoenix Wright considers completely "inexcusable", as he says in case 3-3: Poisoning, and betrayal. He has deeply personal and painful histories with both.
  • Used for humor in the first case of Ace Attorney Investigations. Someone was murdered in Edgeworth's office, and what about it gets him the angriest? His prized tea set is broken!
    Edgeworth: ...Nnngh... That killer is going to pay! This tea set...!
    Gumshoe: Yikes! You're really mad over this!
    Edgeworth: This tea set is very dear to my heart and can only be bought in England. It cost more than your whole month's paycheck.
    Gumshoe: W...Whaaaaaaaat!? Now I feel like the killer's wasted one of my monthly paychecks!
  • The Professional Killer, Shelly de Killer, places immense value on the trust between himself and his clients, so when Phoenix tells him that his client, Matt Engarde, set up a hidden camera at the scene of De Killer's contract kill as blackmail in case things went south, he immediately breaks his contract with Engarde, returns Maya to Phoenix, and swears that he will tirelessly hunt Engarde to the ends of the earth to exact his revenge. It scares the everloving shit out of Engarde so hard that he begs to be sentenced guilty, on the off chance that might have an ounce more protection from de Killer if he's behind prison walls. The moral of the story: Don't piss off an assassin.
    Edgeworth: You will finally receive the acquittal you wanted so badly. You should be happy. But before that, I would like to make one final statement. Some time in the near future, one very betrayed assassin may appear before you. Needless to say, that man is very good at what he does.
  • Phoenix also views Franziska's suppressing a photograph during Maya's trial this way. It turns out there's more to this tactic than he thinks, but she is still trying to get Maya convicted by any means necessary.
    Phoenix: (Unforgivable, Von Karma. Suppressing evidence like this... You're as bad as your father!)
• Olaf of Advance Wars 2 reacts this way upon seeing his Hometown ravaged and toyed with by Lash.
• In AdventureQuest Worlds, the hero helps the Great Godfather of Soul send a Royal Jar of Honey to Lord Ovthedance as a peace-offering in order to help him get the magical shoes the Horc used to cheat him out of victory in dance contests. What the hero doesn't know is that the Godfather was setting up Lord Ovthedance by claiming he cheats in dance contests. After beating him and realizing that his shoes aren't enchanted (the Lord didn't need enchanted shoes to win anyway), the hero realizes that the Godfather lied and used him/her, apologizes to the Lord for seeing to it that he's in no shape to dance at that point, and decides to show the Godfather who's boss. After receiving dancing lessons from Lord Ovthedance, he/she challenges the Godfather to a /Dance-Off competition, and wins the /Dance /Dance Minigame, taking the title of Dancing Champion. The Godfather isn't too happy about that, and that's when, while he declares this trope to the hero, Chaos Lord Discordia is mentioned for the first time ever by him.
  Great Godfather of Soul: Have you come back to rub your victory in my face, hero? Someday, with Chaos Lord Discordia's help, I'll make you pay for taking my title from me! You can count on that!
  • In the Golden Ruins area of the Frostval events, the hero and Blizzy confront Maximilian Lionfang, who has kidnapped the Spirit of Frostval and stolen the presents from the town of Frostvale. Believing that the world must suffer for bending its will to evil and that there can be no peace until all evil is completely and permanently vanquished, Lionfang burns the presents with his whip as a demonstration of one of the "prices that Lore must pay for the pathetic truce between Good and Evil." A horrified Blizzy lets out a Big "NO!", Lionfang gives off an Evil Laugh, and the hero doesn't take that too well. He/she shouts to him, "You'll pay for that!" before proceeding to hand his butt to him on a plate for the second time and afterwards tell him, "Keep the change, you filthy animal," which is also a memorable line from Home Alone.
  • In the 2011 Friday the 13th event:
    One-Armed Bandit: My gang is all over this area. You'll never make it to that ship! [to Voltaire] You with the guitar... This is all YOUR fault. I'll get you for this!
    • He said that to Voltaire because he blamed him for his involvement in the hero defeating him, and wanted revenge on him for it. He would later keep true to his desire for revenge against him by ambushing him during their confrontation with Lord Krom Wrath, and dragged him somewhere where they could settle their score while Deady in his One-Winged Angel form of Urkor Malravenus fought Krom Wrath and the hero used the Vorutanian Key Blade to beat Yahorneth, save the world from being taken over by the Necrus and Krom Wrath, and force the Necrus to retreat back to Necronus. It later turned out that Voltaire survived his fight with the One-Armed Bandit and in the process of doing so got his mechanical claw in place of one of his hands.
  • In Doomwood Part 2, Gravelyn calls out Noxus for betraying her and having Chaos Vordred take her hostage.
  • In the Bloodtusk saga, after sending the Horcs and Trolls back home to rest up from all the fighting they did after defeating the alliance soldiers led by Cynari and Tibias, the hero makes a declaration that, when he/she finds the Chaos Lord running the madness taking place in Bloodtusk Ravine, he/she will make them pay, especially for murdering Antiphuus. He/she also gets an idea on where to start looking for information on the Chaos Lord. The Chaos Lord later indeed turns out to be Krellenos.
    Hero: DRAKATH! I know you have a hand in this. When I find your new minion, I will make them PAY! And I need to know who! ...I'm not sure where to start, but I think I have an idea.
    • Later, in the same saga, Khasaanda has become enraged at Krellenos for abandoning her, ruining everything about the ravine and having chaorrupted and caused the death of their own brother. So what does she do? She usurps his Chaos powers and then kills him using a telekinetically-driven weapon from a chaorrupted Alliance soldier. After that, she plans to use her new Chaos powers to exact revenge on Drakath for the chaorruption and deaths of her brothers.
  • The finale of the Swordhaven saga has the Hero declaring his/her intent to make Drakath himself pay for driving King Alteon to madness through his chaorruption, causing the death of Princess Brittany at the hand of her own father, and the horrible devastation wrought upon Swordhaven by the Chaos Dragon.
• Bayek of Assassin's Creed Origins shouts this to Flavius the Lion, due to him forcing Bayek to stab his son in the heart by accident. Gains even more weight when you remember Egyptian mythology states that if the heart is damaged, the deceased is barred from the afterlife.
• Discussed in Batman: Arkham Knight. The Arkham Knight's militia seems to be made of disgruntled/disgraced former soldiers. At one point, one of them will talk about about how what there will be not turning back or forgiveness for what they're about to do (committing an act of domestic terrorism by detonating a chemical weapon). No on else cares.
• BlazBlue:
  • Ragna the Bloodedge, the main protagonist, says this when he uses Hell's Fang on his hated rival Jin Kisaragi. The same thing is also done in his winquote against him.
    Ragna: I'll never forgive you, you son of a bitch. I was gonna tell you to die a slow, painful death, but I don't got the patience to wait around, so you're dying now.
  • Also, in Continuum Shift, Kokonoe declares this to Hazama when he fights Lambda-11 in his arcade mode run.
    Kokonoe: I've just got one question to ask you. Why did you betray my mother?
    Hazama: "Betray?" Come on, don't give me that. It's not like the Six Heroes were buddies... then the other day, I told the old man, "We're buddies, right?!" Hahahaha!
    Kokonoe: You... you bastard! I'll never forgive you! Lambda! Kick the shit out of him!
  • And for the encore there's this exchange between Ragna and Hazama/Yuuki Terumi in Continuum Shift's True Ending:
    Ragna: Terumi... Terumi... I will never forgive you!
    Hazama: You won't forgive me? Like I give a damn! Just shut up and die already!
  • Since Hazama/Yuuki Terumi is sustained by hatred, never forgiving him is playing him straight into his hands... Which really is a bloody shame, because he is good at crossing the Moral Event Horizon and then pushing waaay past it, to infinity and beyond. For the Evulz.
• Shouted by Sion Barzahd before one of the final battles in The Bouncer.
  Sion: This is... This is unforgivable, Dauragon!
• In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alucard confronts a succubus who has been imitating his dead mother just to mess with his head, and conveys his intentions rather stoically before an inevitable boss fight:
  Alucard: Demon. Death is too good for you.
  • He does say "Yurusan" in the Japanese, and is so VERY damn stone-cold about both that and the worse-than-death fate that his killing her in the dream-world will bring about (it's a death of the soul, so her spirit will never find rest and will wander lost for eternity). This followed by the only fade-to-black death in the game, and (in the original Japanese; the dub is uh...different) a very creepy cut-off scream from her.
    • And the sad thing is, you just know that he was a lot nicer than Dracula would have been if he found out about those shenanigans. 'Don't mention Lisa' is a good rule to follow.
• Sakura Ogami from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc shouts this when she learns someone has harmed Aoi. She even has two relevant stock voice clips: "I can't forgive this!" and "No forgiveness!"
• In Deus Ex, after you escape from UNATCO, Gunther says in a voice full of hate "No, I cannot forgive. No... not the killing of Agent Navarre. I will follow you. Denton; I will get you!
• Subverted in Devil May Cry 4, wherein Credo utters this to Sanctus, who blatantly used Credo's sister as bait in his plans and thus the one thing that shook Credo's loyalty to the Order. The kicker? He said it after Sanctus fatally wounded him, and got his ass further kicked for his trouble.
• In Crisis Beat, the hero Eiji Garland says this after escaping the terrorist-controlled luxury ship, the Princess, only to witness a dozen Delta Force helicopters coming to the rescue getting blown out the air by the terrorists who brought surface-to-air missile launchers.
• Diablo III
  • When you first meet Kormac the Templar in Diablo III, one of your first objectives is to assist him in killing his former comrade Jondar, who had defected to the Dark Coven. Jondar's final words upon his defeat are to beg for forgiveness, stating that his mind had been clouded by "the Coven's evil magic". Kormac refuses to take it, declaring, "Betrayal can never be forgiven," and delivers a Coup de Grâce.
  • Later on in the expansion, Kormac, who has learned that the Templar Order he hails from has been torturing and brainwashing their initiates and had done the same thing to him and Jondar, reads the newest proclamation from the Grand Maester, who announces his intent to do this to every citizen of Westmarch and beyond to make them Templars. He calls this proclamation "damning", proving beyond doubt that the Grand Maester knew all along about the torture and that the corruption comes straight from the top.
  • When Adria resurfaces in Act V, none of the Nephalem are in any mood whatsoever to let her live after what she did to Leah at the end of Act III, even though Lorath Nahr stresses the importance of finding Malthael. Just about every one of the quest journals for "The Witch" state in no uncertain terms that they will never forgive Adria for murdering Leah.
• Disgaea:
  • Vyers from Disgaea uses these exact words, twice, when Laharl, his would-be rival, unflatteringly refers to him as irrelevant and redubs him "Mid-Boss". He loses the ensuing battle, and the insulting moniker sticks with him for the rest of the game.
  • Laharl says the same thing later on when someone messes up his hair. This is a clue that Mid-Boss is actually his father in disguise.
  • In Disgaea 5, Usalia makes it a very, very, very damning point to Majorita that she'll never forgive her for torturing and zombifying her parents, ever. This mindset remains even in the post-game, where Majorita joins the Rebel Army and Usalia still has nothing but hatred for the girl who did all those things to her and Toto Bunny.
• In Dragon Age: Origins, as you journey through the Deep Roads you slowly learn what Branka did/allowed to happen in the name of her quest. Her lover Hespith asks you to forgive Branka, but then decides no, she cannot be forgiven.
• When Teen Gohan transforms into Super Saiyan 2 form in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, he screams "I won't forgive you!" If you don't know why, check Dragon Ball's entry under the Anime section above.
• The Elder Scrolls
  • In the series' backstory, Zurin Arctus, Tiber Septim's Imperial Battlemage, was tasked by Septim with figuring out a way to power and control the Numidium, a Humongous Mecha of Dwemer construction which Septim acquired as part of the Armistice with the god-kings of Morrowind. While there are several versions of the events that followed, Arctus would become (or become part of) the undying being known as the Underking, whose soul was placed in the Mantella to power the Numidium. Septim would use it to complete his conquest of Tamriel, but would then start using it backhanded ways Arctus/the Underking did not intend (such as destroying the neutral royal families of Tamriel so that he could enthrone persons he knew to be loyal). The Underking considered this unforgivable, confronted Septim about this misuse, and then flew into a rage, in which he destroyed the Numidium and blasted the Mantella into Aetherius. One of the possible endings of Daggerfall is to return the Mantella to the Underking, finally allowing him to die.
  • In Skyrim, in one of the late Thieves' Guild quests, you enter a dungeon to find an entire group of bandits slaughtered. When you meet up with your friends, they explain that it was the work of the traitor you're hunting down. Brynjolf says this:
    Brynjolf: Crime is one thing. Murder is another. Mercer will pay for this.
• Meta example in online gaming. Hacking ranks among the top, unforgivable gaming sin, that permaban for first offense is almost always standard issue. To put in perspective, EVE Online devs won't lift a finger on you being a troll, scamming people, or just being a jerk to anyone you meet, but even they would not tolerate hacking. Some devs take this further with lifetime permaban, meaning not only your account is banned, but you as a person would forever be excluded from the game and related events, even if you make new accounts on completely new machines (assuming they find out).
• Fallout: New Vegas: One of the available responses to the sack of Nipton boils down to this trope. You can follow it up with violence if you so choose (and if you're strong enough to actually deliver on the promise).
  Courier: Your crimes are unforgivable.
  Vulpes Inculta: (in a tone described as "carefree" in the script notes) As are all crimes. If you feel strongly about it, attack us, and soon you won't feel anything at all.
• Fallout 4
  • If you do not issue the Evacuation Order during "The Nuclear Option", the final mission for most paths of this game, it will cause Desdemona, the leader of the Railroad, to lose any and all respect she had for you and turn the entire Railroad hostile to you. This is because not issuing the Evacuation Order gets a whole lot of people killed when the nuke goes off in the Institute, including many Synths that the Railroad are trying to get out of Institute bondage.
  • In the DLC Nuka-World, you can lead a gang of raiders and take over settlements for them. When you talk to Preston Garvey after taking over a settlement, though, he'll proclaim that any kind of friendship you two once had is gone.
    Preston Garvey: You've crossed the line, General! There are some things I can't forgive!
• Kim Kaphwan from the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters games has a variation of this. Whenever he fights a criminal (or simply evil, or perceived as evil) opponent, he points his finger at them and says "Aku wa yurusan!" ("Evil cannot be forgiven!"). Starting with the NESTS saga (King of Fighters 1999-2002), he even complements the pointing with Glowing Eyes of Doom.
  • His disciple May-Lee actually does something similar in King of Fighters 2001, Kamen Rider-ish pose and all.
• Final Fantasy:
  • In the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VI, after Cyan realizes that the Empire has poisoned Doma's water supply, he races around to find survivors, and when he races into his own room, he finds his wife and son dead. He screams at the Empire at the top of his lungs and races off to kill as many Imperial soldiers as he can, but not before muttering in shock.
    Cyan: This is unpardonable...
    • Ruined by the otherwise okay Woolsey localization, which has Cyan yelling something like "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! IMPOSSIBLE! IDIOTIC!"
    • Bonus points: The song played during the scene afterward, where Cyan is on his blind Roaring Rampage of Revenge? It's called The Unforgiven.
  • In Final Fantasy X-2, if you complete the Bonus Dungeon, the Den of Woe, your party encounters another imprint of the final boss, Shuyin. Paine explains that Shuyin's despair is what destroyed the Crimson Squad, that they went mad and all killed each other.
    Shuyin: (regarding Nooj, Gippal and Baralai) But these three lived. So... I decided to use them.
    Paine: You'll pay! ... ... (after the battle) No one uses my friends.
  • Played straight several times in Dissidia Final Fantasy, but lampshaded when the Warrior of Light confronts Sephiroth.
    Sephiroth: Fighting me won't help you recover the Crystals.
    WoL: I suppose.
    Sephiroth: Well then... Why come before me?
    WoL: You hurt my ally.
    Sephiroth: "I won't forgive you"... you might say?
  • Final Fantasy Tactics. Ramza, a purer than pure hero who only draws his sword once during a cutscene, who tries to talk every enemy he meets out of fighting, who is as forgiving as JESUS finally finds three people in all of Ivalice even he will not forgive: Algus Sadalfus, for shooting his adopted sister for no reason other than 'I'm a noble so I can do what I want'; Dycedarg Beoulve, his brother, for murdering their father, brother and trying to sacrifice their sister to an Eldritch Abomination; and Folmarv Tengille, for resurrecting the aformentioned murdered brother as a self-aware zombie, and making him fight Ramza.
• Surprisingly often used in Fire Emblem.
  • Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade:
    • Renault versus Nergal "You villain... You cursed him! Your crime can never be forgiven! I will end you with my hands. In the name of my lost friend!"
    • Adorable assassin-in-training Nino is given the chance to confront Sonia, the woman who murdered her parents and adopted her with the intention of raising her as a Tyke Bomb. This failed, so Sonia tries to have her killed. THAT fails, and Nino eventually joins the heroes. During their confrontation, Sonia gleefully admits to slaughtering Nino's parents. Nino doesn't take it well. "Aaahhh!!! You're no perfect being! You're a monster in human form! No mercy! No forgiveness!!!"
    • Lyn has two of these. The first is against her granduncle, Lord Lundgren, for trying to assasinate her, poisoning her grandfather (his own brother), and harming the people under his charge to whom he has a duty. The second is an actual utterance, when she, Eliwood and Hector discover the murder of Leila, an Ostian spy and Matthew's lover:
      Lyn: Unforgivable! This is... a foul deed. Beyond foul.
    • In his own story path, Hector shares in the above (for Lyn's second This Is Unforgivable) by swearing a vendetta against the Black Fang until he finds the one responsible. He also echoes Lyn's "I have neither pity nor mercy for you" when he confronts Nergal. Notably, Eliwood does not possess this quality despite Nergal killing his father.
  • Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance:
    • Jill versus Ashnard in "...Ashnard... Ashnard!! ASHNARD!! I...will never forgive you! NEVER!!!"
    • Elincia versus Ashnard: "Yet my purpose here is to defeat you. In the name of my father, my mother, my lord uncle, and the countless citizens of Crimea... You murdered them all! And I will never forgive you that!"
• In Freedom Planet, Lilac and Carol shout this at Brevon in anger beyond words after he has turned Milla into a monster and forced them to fight her to the possible death. After smashing up on his mech armor, Lilac keeps on the offensive with this trope, stating that she will use the wrath of her dragon might to make him pay for it.
• In FTL: Faster Than Light, enemy ships that you are close to destroying will sometimes plead surrender, offering you rewards for sparing their lives, with the option to reject that and finish off the target instead. If the enemy ship is a pirate ship, the "don't accept surrender" option is labeled as "Piracy cannot be forgiven. Attack!"
• In Gal Guardians: Demon Purge, Shinobu and Maya are well and truly furious at Adult Kurona for toying with them after she sent them back to the castle gates following their victory over present Kurona, so that the former declares that she will never forgive her for it, and she makes the declaration again when they both find out that Houdai was bound to a pillar by her when she created her castle. And when they both confront her in the final level, they are surprised to find someone licking her feet, whom she introduces as her loyal servant. That someone is a clone of Houdai, whom Shinobu initially mistakes for the real deal, but Maya isn't so easily fooled. The Houdai imitation calls himself a worthless piece of trash whose only pleasure in life is to lick Adult Kurona's feet. Shinobu and Maya both become so disgusted by what he said that the former declares that she will never forgive either of them for the way they tried to fool them, and the latter follows by saying that it calls for severe punishment, and after they defeat him, they freely turn their anger towards Adult Kurona, call her kind a sick bunch, and let her know how enraged they are towards her.
• In God of War (PS4), the Aesir god Baldur was magically given immortality by his mother Freya against his will, because she was terrified of him dying a pointless death that would kick-start Ragnarok. Her spell made Baldur immortal...but also left him completely unable to feel anything, driving him insane. When Freya refused to undo the curse, despite her son's pleading for her to do so, Baldur snapped; though he couldn't bring himself to kill her, he made sure Freya knew he never wanted to see her again. When they finally meet again a century later, a hundred years of complete sensory deprivation has destroyed any lingering affection Baldur had for Freya, leaving him a wrathful berserker consumed by his hatred for his mother and driven only by his need to kill her. Even when, thanks to Kratos and Atreus, the curse is broken, Baldur spurns his mother's desperate pleading for forgiveness, snarling that there is nothing she can do that would even remotely begin to atone for what he's suffered thanks to her meddling.
• Guilty Gear uses some "This Is Unforgivable" moments as well. For example, May says this to I-No when she catches her tormenting and hurting her friend Dizzy.
• Lauren Winter from Heavy Rain swore on her son's grave that, no matter who his killer was, she would kill him, but she is particularly angry when she realizes that it's Scott Shelby, the man helping her track down the killer. If she's alive, she curses him on his grave or, if he kills everyone else, guns him down in the street.
• In Injustice: Gods Among Us, at the beginning of the fight between Batman and Regime Nightwing who is actually Damien Wayne, Batman tells him
  Batman: You stopped being my son when you killed Dick Grayson. He was my son.
  • After the fight his victory line is:
    Batman: You're dead to me.
• Used by Mickey in Kingdom Hearts II after Goofy has been (apparently) killed, triggering his costume change along the way and making room for what may be the most epic battle sequences in this game.
  • Just the fact that Mickey (THE Mickey) says "They'll pay for this," is enough to put chills in your spine.
• When Kirby first meet Flamberge in Kirby Star Allies, she is seething with rage at him and calls him out for what he did to her sweet beloved fellow sister Francisca, and vows to "scorch him to such a degree that she believes that even roasted marshmallows will seem like ice cubes compared to him." Judging by the pause-screen description of her first boss fight, you pretty much know what she means.
  Flamberge: HEY, YOU! Stubby little... pink thing! Yes, YOU! I have a buuuurning question for you! You're the one who was so rude to sweet Francisca, aren't you?! Don't you dare try to deny it! Fiend! Coward! I swear, if you've harmed a single blue hair on her perfect head... you'll BURN for it!!! Jamblasted!! I will never EVER forgive you! Now you must face Flamberge! That's ME! For what you've done, I'll scorch you to such a degree that... that... even tasty, toasty marshmallows will seem like ice cubes compared to you!
  • Later, when you get to Hyness and he delivers his crazed and incredibly long Motive Rant complete with Unreadably Fast Text, part of his rant says that he refuses to forgive the ancients for leaving him and his followers banished to the edge of the universe to be forgotten.
• In Kishin Douji Zenki FX: Vajura Fight, Chiaki shouts "Yurusenai!" towards a Hyouijuu named Fushushoku once she discovers that he put Nozomi, the girl that she and Zenki have been saving multiple times over the course of the game, through Demonic Possession before blasting at him with one of her shots. The two get a chance to get revenge on him during the penultimate boss fight against another Hyouijuu named Razurou (who also gets possessed by Fushushoku as well), and after they beat down the possessed Razurou and reduce him to a mere skeleton, Fushushoku is later killed immediately afterwards by the game's Big Bad and final boss, Marubasu, whom Chiaki ultimately decides was responsible for Nozomi's brainwashing and death.
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Played for laughs with Addison, who will shout this if you let his signs fall over. He gets over it pretty quickly, though.
• In Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals, Selan declares this ad verbatim when the Sinistral Gades brings a meteor storm down on Parcelyte.
• In Mass Effect 2, Paragon Shepard can state this during a conversation with Mordin, where he reveals that he redistributed a modified form of the genophage to the Krogan, since they were adapting to the previous strain of the Virus. While Mordin rationalises it that it was simply to keep the Krogan numbers in check so they could not threaten the Galaxy again, Shepard gets pissed, calling it practically a War Crime that the Salarians don't have the courage to admit responsibility for.
  • Paragon Shepard also has this attitude when discovering the true purpose of Project Overlord, where the Paragon Interrupt is pistol-whipping Dr. Gavin Archer for experimenting on his brother and hooking his mind into a machine. When Shepard re-encounters him in 3, it's clear they still have nothing but utter contempt for him, even if they are currently saving his life again.
  • Paragon Shepard can invoke this in 3 to try to end the Geth and Quarian conflict, stating that the Geth don't want to fight the Quarians and that throughout their history, all they've done is act in self-defence due to the Quarians being the aggressors in the conflict. With a high enough Paragon rating, Shepard can even end the entire war by brow-beating the Quarians into a cease-fire.
• When X declares to Gate in Mega Man X 6, "Time to teach you a lesson, Gate! You used Zero's DNA to cause the Reploids pain. All for your own ego! I won't forgive you!"
  • Also, for a villain example in said franchise:
    X: So you're the Big Cheese?
    Ride Boarski: Big Cheese?! Arggghhhhmm! How dare you call me that! I'm the Head Honcho, for crying out loud!
    X: OK, whatever you say. I order you to disband this motorcycle gang!
    Ride Boarski: Motorcycle gang?! Why you!! You've gone too far! I'll make you pay for this, with a duel!
  • Maverick Hunter X, the remake of the first game, features this from X towards Sigma before their final battle. "What you've done is unforgivable, Sigma!" At the time, Zero had just died ^note (unlike the original, where his death happened two stages ago), and X is furious, and it's reflected in the dub delivery, which actually gives the line weight.
• Octopath Traveler: During her confrontation with the Ghisarma, H'aanit states the killing other animals and people for no reason other than taking out its anger is this trope. H'aanit follows it up with declaring the Ghisarma must be killed.
• In One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, when Robin says before the fight with Eneru that she'd rather not see him again (in canon, he nearly killed her and almost destroyed Sky Island), an audio clip of her saying "Unforgivable!" is heard. When Shanks uses his ultimate attack, he yells "I won't forgive those who hurt their friends!" (a mistake in pronouns, as it's a reference to his being willing to tolerate insults, but not those who threaten his friends)
• In the seventh dungeon of Paper Mario 64, the Crystal Palace, one of the puzzles to solve involves Bombette and five Duplighosts disguised as her. This puzzle is quite simple to solve, really — all Mario has to do is hammer all five of the Duplighosts disguised as her. As a matter of fact, Mario can tell who the real Bombette is because she's the one who says that she will never forgive him if he messes up.
• Persona:
  • Persona 4's Yosuke Hanamura yells this at Adachi Tohru, who has just taunted him and the rest of the Investigation Team with the fact that he was the one responsible for the murder of both Mayumi Yamano and Yosuke's beloved senpai Saki Konishi, as well as manipulating Namatame into carrying out his evil work, all for his own twisted amusement.
    Adachi: You can keep your forgiveness.
  • Persona 5: Despite Kamoshida regularly abusing the girls of the school and causing him a Career-Ending Injury, Ryuji is initially reluctant to steal his heart when he finds out it may kill him if done incorrectly. When his abuse drives Ann's friend Shiho to attempt suicide by jumping off the roof, Ryuji hits his breaking point and decides to go through with it, stating outright that he doesn't care whether or not Kamoshida dies anymore; he just wants him gone.
    Morgana: Can I assume that you've made up your minds about this — about how [Kamoshida] might suffer a mental shutdown?
    Ryuji: ...I have. Someone almost died because of him! I don't give a rat's ass what happens to him anymore!
• Pokémon:
  • In the ending of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Ardos tells Michael he can't be forgiven for foiling Cipher's plans so utterly.
  • Cheren drops an "I'll never forgive them for this!" regarding Team Plasma in Pokémon Black and White. N also invokes the trope word-for-word during his Motive Rant.
  • In Pokémon X and Y, this is what Emma tells the Kanto woman (who had just insulted Looker) when she reveals that she can speak Kantonian.
    • Also, earlier in the game, the Poké Ball Factory's president shouts at Team Flare, who had just invaded it, that he will never forgive anyone who tries to steal all of the Poké Balls for themselves.
  • In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the respective villainous team leader receives this from himself after they realize all the destruction their ambitions would have cause had the player not been there to stop the legendary Pokemon.
  • In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Lusamine says to Lillie that she will never forgive her for keeping Cosmog away from her for so long. Sadly for her, with Moral Myopia in play, it doesn't justify the fact that she tortured Cosmog into opening up multiple Ultra Wormholes all over Alola against its own will earlier.
• RosenkreuzStilette:
  • After laying her undead grandfather Raimund Seyfarth back to rest in her alternate mode, Grolla, both infuriated and deeply hurt, declares this trope in vowing to punish Graf Michael Sepperin for disrupting his peaceful slumber.
    Grolla: Michael Zeppelin... your reasons mean nothing to me. There will be no mercy. You shall pay for this with your life.
  • In the main game, Spiritia and Lilli say two variations of this trope to Iris in Iris Stage 3. First, Lilli shouts out "You're gonna pay!" to her, and Tia follows with the common variation of "Iris, I'll never forgive you!"
  • Zorne is quite fond of using this trope, especially as one of her pre-battle quotes or when Grolla confronts her after having defeated her friend Trauare, which is one of quite a few things that can press Zorne's Berserk Button. She even directs this towards the Church in Freudenstachel, blaming them for her adoptive dad's death despite not even knowing that he was actually slaughtered by his own other daughter Iris.
    Zorne: About time you showed up, Grolla! If it weren't for you, Trau would still be a part of RKS! You're gonna pay for that!
  • During the final confrontation in Freudenstachel, seeing Tia mind-controlled by Iris obviously didn't change Freudia's already bad opinion of Iris.
• Ishida Mitsunari from Sengoku Basara, whose vocabulary seems to be largely limited to screaming either this or the name of his rival Ieyasu at the top of his lungs. He even takes it one step further by refusing to forgive not only Ieyasu, but the whole world. Even selecting him from the Character Select screen has him uttering "I will never forgive you".
• Shadowverse: When Eris summons multiple copies of the princess in the dream world in a futile effort to appease her, Erika cuts them down like the fakes they are, but is still furious at Eris for forcing her to do so.
• In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, the Final Boss YHVH, i.e. God, offers you several chances to cease your offensive against them, turn back, and receive their forgiveness (the last of which is actually a trap that will result in an immediate Game Over), but once you "Reason You Suck" Speech the divinity out of him and reduce him to a hideous monstrosity, they declare that you are beyond forgiveness:
  "Impudent humans, I cannot forgive you! I asked only that you take the life I gave you and obediently follow my word. The weight of your blasphemy is too great for death. Eternal suffering is the only suitable punishment!"
• In one of Silent Hill 2's endings, an illusion of Mary yells "Do you really think I could ever forgive you for what you did?" before transforming into the game's end boss.
• In Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Penelope committing a Face–Heel Turn and betraying Bentley's heart has caused Sly to declare war on her, not long before she steals Sir Galleth's cane. It looks like Dr. M did managed to get through to one member of the Cooper Gang, after all, though not Bentley.
• Declared by Tails after Eggman appears to have killed Sonic in Sonic Adventure 2. He seems to largely forget about it when things settle down, though.
• Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Consular's eventual Padawan, Nadia Grell, is a sweet daughter of a senator, and one of the nicest people you will ever encounter in the game. Daddy Grell turns out to be a fine statesman and stalwart ally of the Consular until the Sith kidnap him. When Consular and Nadia charge in as Big Damn Heroes to save Daddy Grell, it's too late — the Sith tortured him to death. Sweet little Padawan Nadia loses it, and if the Consular isn't convincing enough in the subsequent conversation, that Sith is dead by her hands.
• Stellaris: Holy Guardians may have a number of planets designated as Holy Worlds. Colonizing them will make them angry enough, but using a Planet Cracker will get this response:
  (Planet name) was a holy world.
  You do not know the true extent of your sin.
  Not yet.
• The original Suikoden:
  • When done with an already-defeated villain, this turns out to be the wrong response, as the "villain" was actually Brainwashed and Crazy, and is one of the 108 Stars of Destiny.
  • In the other case, it's perfectly fine to take this option, as the character is legitimately a self-serving sleazeball who caused the death of the lead character's best friend out of nothing more than petty greed — the conversation option for killing him actually reads "You're the one person I can't forgive."
  • After Gremio, your protagonist's servant and protector, fools checkpoint guards into thinking that said protagonist is not the now-rebellious son of Teo McDohl, but his own son, and begins to shout at him for never doing anything right, even now being mistaken for a criminal. He is then stopped by pleading guards from killing his 'son' right in front of them. After safe passage, Gremio apologizes to the protagonist for his improvised actings, to which you can actually respond to with "Unforgivable!" This can go on for a short while, and messing with him is all fun and laughs until it nearly results in him killing himself out of shame. Yikes.
• Shouted by the protagonist of Tokimeki Memorial 2, when his childhood friend Hikari is his battle partner and has activated her Taking the Bullet Limit Break to save him from the enemy's Limit Break. He then enters in an Unstoppable Rage that dramatically ups his Attack Power.
• Reimu Hakurei of Touhou Project uses these words when Sanae Kochiya fights her in her story run in Touhou Hisoutensoku because she accuses her of making a huge pitfall trap for her to fall into:
  Reimu: Talk is cheap! Making such a huge pitfall trap is unforgivable!
  • As does Ninja Maid Sakuya Izayoi in Koumajou Densetsu II during the final battles upon learning that Yukari was behind everything that happened with her mistress:
    Yukari: Ah, I wonder if the air was too heavy for a vampire.
    Sakuya: Yakumo Yukari... you!^* Just in case we're not fully aware of how pissed Sakuya is, the particular form of "you" she uses here is kisama.
    Yukari: Hahaha...don't let yourself boil over yet. There's more to come.
    Sakuya: I can't...I'll never forgive you for this!^* The Japanese Sakuya uses here is "Omae wa zettai ni yurusanai!" which translates to "I will absolutely not forgive you!" In other words, Yukari is in for one hell of an asskicking.
• Trials of Mana:
  • Never had Duran felt so humiliated until the very night where a powerful mage named the Crimson Wizard injured his fellow soldiers, defeated him in battle, and insulted his beloved King Richard in front of him. When he meets the king before setting off on his adventure, he discusses with him that he can't forgive the wizard for what he did and that he has no plans to return home until that wizard has answered for his crimes against Valsena.
  • Kevin became angry at his dad after overhearing him converse with Goremand about their act of turning the cute wolf puppy Karl into a monster and forcing him to knock him down and making him think he killed him. He became so angry that he ran after his father and not only disowned him but also attempted to attack him only to get knocked out of the castle. When he returns to Ferolia, and challenges his dad after having been forced to give the Mana Sword to the Masked Mage's faction, he has this to say to him (and that's just right before learning the truth about him and what really happened to Karl):
    Kevin: Never forgive you! You hurt Karl!
  • Riesz was also rubbed the wrong way upon learning that Belladonna arranged for her brother Elliot's kidnapping as well as her father Joster's assassination and the ruin that was brought to her home in Laurent, and she understandably swears to make her pay. When she confronts her at Dark Castle in her own story, she states to her that she does not intend to let her get away with every horrible thing she and the rest of the Dark Majesty's resurrection faction have done up to that point.
    Riesz: I won't let you get away, Belladonna! You killed my father!
• In Undertale, there is this Pre Asskicking Oneliner by Sans if you are in the Genocide Route.
  Sans: "it's a beautiful day outside. birds are singing, flowers are blooming... on days like these, kids like you... Should be burning in hell."
• This is Lenneth Valkyrie's big proclamation in Valkyrie Profile. She had been impassive up to now.
