  (#13) Pannacotta Fugo Stabs Narancia Ghirga Over A Math Problem In 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'

  If you thought your math tutor was a nightmare, just be grateful they're not Pannacotta Fugo. When he's attempting to help Narancia Ghirga study the subject, Narancia answers a question incorrectly. Rather than try to help Narancia understand the question and arrive at a correct answer, he decides to stab him with a fork instead. Narancia retaliates by threatening Fugo with a knife, but that seems slightly more justified given what triggered it.

  Despite the conflict, the two continue working together as members of Team Bucciarati and Passione. When you work for the mafia, violence is apparently expected.

  (#2) Literally Everything Akito Sohma Does In 'Fruits Basket'

  If you're expecting a reasonable response to literally anything, don't go to Akito Sohma. Akito is not only the head of the Sohma family, they're also the god of those cursed by the Zodiac animals. For this reason, every family decision has to be approved by them. If anything happens that even remotely implies that the members of the Zodiac are moving away from Akito emotionally, they become violent.
  
  One disturbing example of this is when Akito's doctor, Hatori, requested permission to marry his girlfriend Kana. Akito reacted by shoving Hatori into a glass pane, blinding him in one eye. Perhaps even more extreme, when 12-year-old Hiro tells Akito that he's in love with a girl named Kisa, Akito beats Kisa within an inch of her life. Things only get worse in the manga - but generally speaking, Akito is one big disproportionate reaction.

  (#14) Takaaki Kakinuma Locks Up Shinichi Gotou For Years In 'Oldboy'

  Oldboy is a 1996 manga that follows a man named Shinichi Gotou's journey to figure out why he was kidnapped and held in solitary confinement for ten years. At the end of the manga, the reason is finally revealed - and it's unimaginably petty.

  The man who locked Shinichi up, Takaaki Kakinuma, was one of his elementary school classmates. When they were going to school together, Shinichi heard Takaaki singing, and was moved to tears. Takaaki interpreted this as Shinichi intuiting how lonely he was - and he couldn't stand to see those emotions reflected back at him.

  This apparently destroyed his ability to lead a normal life, which led him to seek revenge on Shinichi. Maybe Takaaki should have tried therapy instead.

  (#11) Suboshi Takes Out Tamahome's Whole Family Over A Mistake In 'Fushigi Yugi'

  Sometimes, disproportionate retribution comes from people who actually have been seriously wronged in some way. Suboshi had every right to be upset at his twin brother's passing, and it wasn't exactly his fault that he was given incorrect information about who was responsible. 

  But Suboshi's response to believing that the Suzaku Seven was responsible for his brother's demise was off the charts. He had several options - take the time to learn what had actually happened to his brother, fight the people he thought were responsible, or even take a single life in retaliation - but instead Suboshi eliminates Tamahome's entire family, which consisted of a sick father and several younger siblings, one of whom was still a toddler. None of them deserved that.

  (#9) Tetsurou Negoro Is Sent To Hell For Spilling Coffee In 'Hell Girl'

  Hell Girl is an anime where people type the name of a person who wronged them into a magical website, and that person is immediately taken to Hell. The catch is that whoever typed the name will also go to Hell at the end of their natural lifespan. 

  Sometimes, the people who meet this fate are deserving, but sometimes they very much are not. Tetsurou Negoro is one of those people. He's bad with money and not the best boyfriend, but that's not why his name is written down. It's because he accidentally scratched somebody's car and then spilled coffee on him. Worth getting annoyed at, sure - worth sending someone to Hell and condemning yourself to Hell? Absolutely not.

  (#3) Nagisa Shiota's Mother Tries To Force Him To Set His School On Fire In 'Assassination Classroom'

  Nagisa Shiota's mother has some pretty weird expectations for her son to begin with. Unhappy with her own restrictive childhood, she wanted to redo her girlhood through a daughter. When she had a son instead, she forced Nagisa to crossdress and keep his hair long. What's more, she refuses to allow Nagisa to form or express his own opinions about pretty much everything. 

  When Koro-sensei, Nagisa's teacher, rightly chastises her behavior, she reacts by drugging Nagisa, then bringing him to his school to try and force him to burn down the building where class 3-E is held. Nagisa doesn't comply, and ultimately ends up showing his mother that she needs to give him some freedom when he rescues her from a group of assassins.
