A character (usually a Prima Donna-type) is in direct competition with another for some sort of goal, and resorts to nefarious methods in order to somehow dispose of the competition, whether it be through physical violence, some form of trickery or locking the rival up somewhere they can’t interfere (which may include keeping them Bound and Gagged). This is a Super-Trope to the following Sub-Trope examples: Crippling the Competition: When a character specifically disables their rival by dealing them a physical injury. Murder the Hypotenuse: When a character resorts to physical violence or murder to remove the unwanted component of a Love Triangle. May overlap with Mugged for Disguise and an Anti-Interference Lock Up, or in some particularly grim situations, Dead Person Impersonation or Kill and Replace. |

Sly Cooper: In Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, The Black Baron (actually Penelope) operates on this principal. He enforces a strict no-cheating policy during the competition for two-fold reasoning: one so he can disqualify his competition as they inevitably do cheat, allowing him to ensure both competitors aren't able to compete, and two so he can gain a much better edge in the competition by being the only one able to cheat. In Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Penelope is at it again, though much worse, by plotting to remove Sly and Murray from the equation so that she can have Bentley, or rather, his skills, to herself. Bentley is offended that she doesn't truly care about his feelings, and dumps her, citing while she's right about his potentials, Sly and Murray are pretty much his family. |

In an early episode of Naruto, the titular ninja kidnaps his rival Sasuke, and then impersonates him in order to convince Sakura that Sasuke is a massive Jerkass. Unfortunately for him, the plan doesn't go as he'd anticipated. Before he can get to the part of the plan in which he drives a wedge between Sakura and Sasuke, he suffers stomach cramps from the spoiled milk he drank that morning and has to run to the bathroom. While he's in the bathroom, Sasuke meets up with Sakura and tells her that she's annoying. | |

Attempted multiple times in Double Homework: Tamara tries to demoralize Johanna into withdrawing sexually from the protagonist in order to get him for herself. Dennis offers his yacht for the protagonist's "appreciation party", and then arranges for him to miss the boat launch so he himself could be alone with five pretty girls. Dennis's idea to try to bed all the girls is to blackmail Dr. Mosely/Zeta into planning a class trip to Barbarossa, a place associated with great trauma for the protagonist, so he won't be able to follow them there. |

Drop Dead Gorgeous: Gladys Leeman goes through desperate lengths to make sure her daughter Becky wins the Mount Rose American Teen Princess pageant and goes to state (something Gladys never got to do when she won the pageant when she was seventeen), that she resorts to murdering her daughter's two biggest competitors. She succeeds with Tammy Curry, but fails with the protagonist Amber Atkins. After that, she blatantly rigs the competition against Amber, and when Amber manages to overcome every obstacle thrown at her, it's implied she bribes the judges to score Becky higher anyway. Ironically, Amber still ends up winning the pageant — during the celebratory parade, Becky is killed when the swan float she was on blows up, defaulting the crown to Amber, who was the first runner-up. | |

Upon realizing that the protagonist and title character of Melody are in a romantic relationship, Bethany tries to force them apart by stealing Melody's prize guitar and refusing to give it back unless the protagonist resigns as her manager. Played straight if the protagonist mishandles the situation, causing Steve to smash the guitar; otherwise subverted when Bethany has a change of heart, gives the guitar back, and wishes the couple luck together. | |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: During Shirogane's reelection, Kaguya gets Hayato to drop out of the race with a Breaking Speech. She tries to do so with Iino as well, trying to convince her to abandon her current campaign in exchange for help with the election next year, but a well timed Insult Backfire on Iino's part causes her momentum to fall apart. Chapter 192 implies that this was Osaragi's motivation for going out with Kazeno (despite him not really being her type), with her trying to get him out of the way on Ishigami's behalf so he could ask out Tsubame. It would also explain why she broke up with him so quickly over a rather trivial reason. |

In "Four Fiances" Miss Enright corresponds with four men, and proposes marriage to each of them...in Miss Brooks' name. In "Mr. Boynton's Barbeque", Miss Enright transfers a sick student to Miss Brooks' class so Miss Brooks would catch a cold. That left Miss Enright a clear field with Mr. Boynton. In "Teacher's Convention", Miss Enight relays a message to Walter Denton that Mr. Boynton was "laid up" and wouldn't be attending the convention with Miss Brooks. Walter tells Miss Brooks, leading her to cancel. Mr. Boynton wasn't the least bit sick. |

In Dragon's Crown, a later-game quest involves investigating a lake on behalf of a man who is being plagued by dream-visions of a beautiful woman calling him there, though his wife refuses to let him go. It turns out the woman is a witch and the woman in the dream visions is a mermaid she transformed into a hideous monster, because the mermaid asked for her help in winning the heart of the man who sets the players on the quest; the witch fell in love with him herself and so trapped her mermaid rival in a hideous form and in the lake before running away with and marrying the man. | |

Cats: Macavity abducts multiple members of the Jellicle tribe because it's either them or his only shot for a whole year at entering the Heaviside Layer - and of course less Jellicles means it's more likely he'll be picked. | |

The Elder Scrolls Online: A series of ten in-game books titled "Crafting Motifs 1-10" tells the story of how a researcher named Morian Zenas, who was performing experiments on interdimensional travel, won the heart of a certain Doctor Alfidia Lupus. Unfortunately, Morian's assistant in his transliminal research, Divayth Fyr, was rejected by Alfidia in favor of Morian. Thus, when Morian was finally able to travel to the planes of Oblivion, it is heavily implied that Divayth Fyr sabotaged his efforts so that Morian would be driven insane by all the forbidden and forgotten knowledge he could accrue in the plane of Apocrypha. Divayth's gamble succeeds, and Morian mysteriously never returns to Mundus. | |

The main objective of Yandere Simulator is to remove any potential rivals for Senpai's affection. While the most obvious solution is to simply Murder the Hypotenuse, the game is set to have non-lethal options such as social sabotage, befriending the rival and simply asking them to step aside, and setting them up with other guys. | |

Sailor Moon: In the first season, Zoisite was so threatened by the idea of Nephrite's potential success that he sent a trio of monsters after him to kill him. (And likely would have even without "Nephrite is a traitor" as an excuse.) During the final season of , Sailor Lead Crow poses as a judge at an idol competition in order to steal the Star Seed of one of the panelists. When the competition starts, Sailor Tin Nyanko appears in her place, and states that she unexpectedly had to fill in for her friend. The scene then shifts backstage where Sailor Lead Crow is shown Bound and Gagged behind some props, with it later being revealed that Nyanko wanted her out of the way in order to take sole credit for stealing the Star Seed. |
