What is one of the worst Kick Them While They're Down things a villain can do to show how far past the Moral Event Horizon they've crossed? Easy: After giving The Hero a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown and leaving them a bloody pulp in the dirt, they see the hero desperately reaching out for something in front of them. It could be a Tragic Keepsake, an Orphan's Plot Trinket, a Memento MacGuffin, or a Sentimental Homemade Toy. Whatever it is, it means a lot to the hero, so what does the villain do? Right when it's in reach of their fingers, he smashes it to bits under his foot. For extra cruelty, he might stomp on it multiple times or just grind it under his boot before scraping the fragments off the bottom. Apart from being cruel, a villain sometimes does this to demoralize the hero, as it has sort of a symbolic theme behind it: the destruction of their precious Plot Coupon representing that the hero has failed and hit rock bottom; the one thing that kept him going is gone, so there's no hope left, thus making it a literal Hope Crusher. Other times, however, the villain just made a big mistake and causes the hero to go into an Unstoppable Rage. If the villain does it incidentally while walking, it's Trampled Underfoot. See also Wrecked Weapon, Weapon Stomp, Agitated Item Stomping, Symbolically Broken Object. Related to Smash the Symbol, It's All Junk and Kick the Dog. Sub-Trope of Cruelty by Feet. WARNING: Since this trope is often invoked before or during the climax, expect spoilers below! |

Saif does this to Zack's watch in The Mental State in an attempt to break him and provoke him into lashing out. It was apparently a gift from the woman he loved more than anyone else and the only memento he had of her. Luckily it doesn't work, as it was actually a meaningless trinket that Zack had bought himself in order to trick any enemies he made into thinking it was a genuine weakness of his. | |

Kamen Rider Wizard: Phantoms usually force their victims over the Despair Event Horizon by damaging their Tragic Keepsakes and thus the memories connected to them, e.g. Minotaur Phantom stomps on Rinko's locket. It is basically the M.O. for the smarter ones. The dumber and more impatient just go straight to death threats. | |

Inverted in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, where Joseph incinerates the headband he gained from Caesar's Heroic Sacrifice as part of his ploy to defeat Wamuu. Because Wamuu was the one who killed Caesar, Joseph decided that destroying Caesar's keepsake this way would only honor his memory, as it would allow him to avenge his own death. | |

In the manga version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, in addition to the two above examples, Kaiba confronts a bully named Koji Nagumo. Kaiba swipes his rarest card, Hyozanryu, and rips it in half, mocking him by saying he has a bunch of them so they aren't that rare and that Koji would have lost it in their ante duel anyway. Kaiba gives him a briefcase full of cards to compensate him, but curb-stomps him anyway with Obelisk the Tormentor. | |

Pokémon Adventures: While trying to convince Ruby to join Team Magma, Courtney mocks him for his love of Pokemon Contests, saying what Team Magma does will be much more beautiful, and seemingly sets one of his Contest Ribbons on fire, devastating him. However, Ruby later inspects his Ribbons and finds they are all intact. He deduces that she used sleight of hand to burn one of her own Ribbons, wanting to distance herself from her past of participating in Pokemon Contests. | |

Cinderella's stepsisters cruelly rip apart her first ball gown, which had belonged to her late mother (her animal friends had also just spent the whole day altering it for her, to add salt in the wound). It prompts a Heroic BSoD, until her Fairy Godmother turns up to help. In the live-action remake, in addition to the dress-ripping, Lady Tremaine also smashes Cinderella's glass slipper, which was her only memento of the ball (and the happiest she'd been in years), though it also served the more practical purpose of destroying the proof that Cinderella is the girl the prince is looking for. | |

She was using the Blinker Stone Mort gave to her, said stone being the only piece of memory she ever had of the Deader than Dead Mort, and after the events of Chapter 51: The Tree, it was the only thing keeping her etheric self separated from her. Ys took said stone and crushed it, fusing Annie's self and her etheric self back together in the process. | |

Following her death after the fight with Sharptooth, it becomes a Tragic Keepsake to Littlefoot, with him carrying it on his back on his journey to the Great Valley without eating it, even admonishing Petrie for accidentally tearing it. Unfortunately, it ends up getting crushed under Sharptooth's foot while he's chasing after the young dinosaurs, though Littlefoot is too focused on escaping Sharptooth to dwell or think about it. | |

The villains of John Wick kill the titular character's beagle puppy, who was a gift from his late wife to help him grieve after she died of a terminal illness, simply because she wouldn't stop barking in fear whilst they were beating the crap out of John to steal his car keys. As it turns out, this was a really, really bad idea, because John is an infamously badass hitman who subsequently decides to come out of retirement to hunt down the men responsible. In the sequel, Santino takes it even further by blowing up John's house with a grenade launcher, destroying all his mementos and photographs of his wife, for refusing to do a job for him. |

In one example, the hat is spat on and then stabbed by Buggy the Clown in their first fight. Buggy does this not just to spite Luffy, but also Shanks by proxy, Buggy's former shipmate and the one who gave Luffy the hat in the first place. |

And right after Lotso takes it even further by outright jabbing the huge infant right in his stomach with said mallet (an act even Lotso's own minions are horrified by).

Yu-Gi-Oh!: In Yu-Gi-Oh!, two different bad guys destroyed precious cards from Yugi to prevent him from using it and also just for the sake of being awful persons. The first is Kaiba who ripped Yugi's grandfather's Blue-Eyes White Dragon in half so he would be the only one to have copies of this powerful rare card. Second is Insector Haga/Weevil Underwood who threw overboard the even more rare and powerful Exodia the Forbidden One cards before the beginning of a tournament. In the manga version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, in addition to the two above examples, Kaiba confronts a bully named Koji Nagumo. Kaiba swipes his rarest card, Hyozanryu, and rips it in half, mocking him by saying he has a bunch of them so they aren't that rare and that Koji would have lost it in their ante duel anyway. Kaiba gives him a briefcase full of cards to compensate him, but curb-stomps him anyway with Obelisk the Tormentor. |

In Yuri Kuma Arashi, the Invisible Storm does this to Kureha by burning down the flowerbed (which was very precious to her as it had sentimental links to both her dead mother and her late girlfriend Sumika) on her birthday. And then they would have burned Sumika's last letter to her in there as well, forcing her to watch no less; had Ginko not jumped into the flames to save it at the last second. | |

At the climax of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Rourke, after obtaining the Atlantean crystal and having no more need of him, punches Milo in the face. Milo's framed picture of him as a boy with his grandfather falls out and Rourke stomps on it, smashing the frame. Fortunately, the photo is intact, and what's more, it's this act that causes Audrey, followed by everybody else except Helga, to do a Heel–Face Turn and abandon Rourke. | |
