To be fair, sometimes people in the real world have simple motivations and are just petty. I've been on the receiving end of people who, while not quite up to Sugou's level of douchbaggery, were nevertheless real asshats who shat on others to move up. I recently got demoted by my manager to become a grunt order taker, merely because he doesn't like me - and when another department in our company headhunted me, he blocked the transfer, saying he had other plans for me (i.e. attempted punishment by humiliation, as well as a promise that my career was effectively over).
*shrug* tl;dr people in the real world are asshats.
