Laser-Guided Karma can be hard to accept if you are on the receiving end of it. Sometimes, however, a character who has committed anything from a minor misdeed to outright villainy shows a surprising stroke of humility and wisdom in the face of misfortune, and openly (verbally or non-verbally) accepts that it is a fair retribution. The experience of this karmic retribution may also be sufficiently harrowing to the character to bring about an upheaval of their self-image and priorities, eventually leading to acceptance and a change of heart. In this case, the trope may coincide with Redemption Equals Affliction and/or The Atoner. Simply being made aware of receiving karmic retribution is not sufficient for this trope; the character must be shown to resign himself or herself to it. A character exhibiting this trope could be seen as the equivalent of Graceful Loser where the victor is not another person but Karma or fate. May be related to Being Good Sucks, and can overlap with Redemption Equals Death and Face Death with Dignity. See Heroic Self-Deprecation for characters who nod without reason to. See Call It Karma for characters considering what others experience to be karma. Compare Touché. Contrast Never My Fault. Examples |

When the title of Little Miss Springfield was passed on to Lisa in The Simpsons (due to the previous LMS having been struck by lightning via the metal sceptre she carried), Krusty the Clown playfully pulls away a few times when moving to present the sceptre to Lisa in the transfer ceremony.

Attack on Titan: Reiner Braun seems fully aware of how his having infiltrated humanity as a Titan Shifter after breaking down the walls and resulting in the deaths of a fifth of the human race makes him and his accomplices "murderers living on borrowed time," and appears to accept this. After losing his right arm during a desperate effort, during which many soldiers lost their lives, Erwin sees it as a small price to pay compared to how many hundreds of soldiers he sent to their deaths, and that he will have to pay back the rest in hell. |

Though it's less of a nod and more of an all-out Scenery Chewing. And then Rick pops in and nullifies the curse, leaving Goldenfold to run off and enjoy his new Kavorka Man gift unimpeded: |

World of Warcraft Mennu the Betrayer, a Broken who betrayed his people to the nagas and is the first boss of the Slave Pens, says "I... Deserve this." as he dies. When Wrathion walks into the Stormwind Throne room at the beginning of the Black Empire Campaign, Anduin immediately rises from his throne, approaches him, and punches him right in the face, getting a measure of payback for the events of War Crimes. Wrathion takes it in good humor, simply responding with "I suppose I deserved that." |

He puts up very little defense, fully accepting his punishment (i.e. being executed in a horrific manner) because he believes he should atone for his actions. In his final Free Time event, he expresses unease about his future, as well as a similar sentiment. | |

In Nine Dead, nine people are locked up in a room by a mysterious captor and told to figure out what brought them there or he'll kill one of them every ten minutes. Coogan admits that he's a child molester, and the others say that he deserves to die for his crimes. He's self aware enough to admit that's probably true, but asks the others what they did to deserve a death sentence, leaving them wondering. When the captor kills one of the prisoners, the prisoner taunts him with a See You in Hell boast. The captor simply replies "I know". Although Sully firebombed an elderly man's apartment, he thoroughly regrets that his act unwittingly killed the man's grandchildren, with Sully stating that he deserves to die because of this. |

Kaeloo: In Episode 231, we find out that every time Stumpy loses a sock, he throws the remaining one under his bed instead of trying to reunite them, adding to a giant mess in his room. The socks, who are sentient, are unhappy about being split from their partners, swear revenge on Stumpy. As the plot progresses, the ending moves to a happy one with everyone enjoying themselves at a party on an island. Stumpy tells the socks that this came about as a direct result of his messiness and tells them that they should thank him, prompting the irate socks to chuck him off the island. Stumpy turns to the audience and says "I admit it, I deserved that." | |

In his final Free Time event, he expresses unease about his future, as well as a similar sentiment. In the second game, Gundam says that regardless of the extremely extenuating circumstances (the survivors are locked in a funhouse without food until someone kills another person or they all starve to death) and the fact that he only killed to save everyone else, what he did is still murder, and gracefully accepts his punishment. He even scolds Sonia for trying to beg for his life, saying that it is disgraceful to do so for someone who has accepted his fate. Before he's led away, he says that it would have been an insult to life itself to just let everyone powerlessly accept death by starvation, and that one must always keep on persevering in the face of adversity. |

Pirates of the Caribbean In Curse of the Black Pearl, while leading Will around a pirate run tavern, Captain Jack Sparrow meets a couple of harlots who slap him though he comments that he didn't think he deserved them. When picking his crew, one of such is a female named Anamaria who promptly slaps him when they meet. In At World's End, at the end, Jack wants to show off the Black Pearl to two more harlots only to find it off in the distance having been once again stolen by Barbosa, a dingy left for him and Gibbs asleep on the port. After a bit of a rant, the harlots slap him and he in turns slaps Gibbs. Gibbs looks to retaliate... but shrugs and nods, non-verbally accepting he deserved that. |

In the second game, Gundam says that regardless of the extremely extenuating circumstances (the survivors are locked in a funhouse without food until someone kills another person or they all starve to death) and the fact that he only killed to save everyone else, what he did is still murder, and gracefully accepts his punishment. He even scolds Sonia for trying to beg for his life, saying that it is disgraceful to do so for someone who has accepted his fate. Before he's led away, he says that it would have been an insult to life itself to just let everyone powerlessly accept death by starvation, and that one must always keep on persevering in the face of adversity. | |

In Doctor Who "The Impossible Astronaut" after River Song sees the Doctor do something terrible, she runs into his 200-year younger self (time travel and all) and slaps him hard. | |

In The Green Mile, Paul Edgcomb accepts that even though he doesn't want to, he will live long enough to experience a lot more sorrow and loss, as a punishment for unwillingly executing John Coffey. | |

In the Smith and Jones production The Waiting Room, Griff Rhys Jones's fire and brimstone vicar character cheerfully goes to hell for his sins, the ultimate of which was being tempted by a display of cut-price biscuits in the window of Sainsbury's. | |

Happens from time to time in the Ace Attorney series, usually when a witness is punished for interfering with the investigation, such as Lana Skye in the first game, Adrian Andrews (for trying to frame Matt Engarde) in Justice For All, Sister Iris in Trials and Tribulations, and Machi Tobaye in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. They're typically grateful for being cleared of their murder charges, often have put some significant personal issue to rest in the trial, and are willing to pay for their crimes. | |

Breaking Bad: Implied. While Walt doesn't verbally admit it, the first line of the song "Baby Blue" by Badfinger (which plays as Walt bleeds to death from a gunshot wound) is "Guess I got what I deserved", indicating that Walt knows deep down that he had it coming. | |

Discussed by the wise guys in The Sopranos. Cristopher is conflicted because when he nearly died he had a dream where he found himself in Hell, but Paulie corrects him and claims that he was in Purgatory. He further states that they'll probably have to spend several hundred years in torment for their crimes before going to Heaven, highlighting how the mobsters still fundamentally see themselves as good guys. | |

In the Babylon 5 TV movie In the Beginning Londo comments that he knows his sins, and the price he will eventually pay for them. Contrast his attitude there with himself years earlier. Keep in mind this is after he's pretty much started a couple of wars. |
