Line 20:
* In ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', Tohru hits Kyou with her bag because she thought he was a pervert. Tohru is a [[Sorry I Fell on Your Fist]] character, and awkwardly apologizes to Kyou afterward.
* Legato's arc in ''[[Trigun]]'' only ends when he {{spoiler|forces Vash to shoot him, execution style, in the head}}. Vash is really, really broken up about it afterward.
* Quatre Raberba Winner of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Wing]]''. He always forces his enemies to surrender before he has to kill them, then he apologizes for having to kill them. In fact, most [[Gundam]] pacifist pilots such as [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Kira]], [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Uso]] and [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Loran]] say this and tells their enemies to get out of the mechs.
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' Keiichi hugs Mion and apologizes {{spoiler|for killing her in an alternate reality}}.
* In ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma 1/2½]]'', forced to stop a rampaging Ryouga, Akane rips off a mooring post from the docks and bashes him over the head with it, yelling, "I'm sorry!" When this [[Made of Iron|fails to even faze him]] (indeed, the post ''bent'' in the shape of his head) she bashes him some more, punctuating each strike with "I'm sorry!"
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' episode 36, Edward says sorry to Kain Fuery after punching him out.
** And Maria Ross apologized in advance before and after [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|slapping Ed across the face]] for going into Laboratory 5 on his own. Justified since Ed's higher in rank than Maria and could give her and Denny Brosh their walking orders if he wanted to (of course, he doesn't).
Line 171:
* Susie Evans from ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'', being a staunch pacifist, will sometimes freeze up and stop moving if you order her to attack someone (regardless of how much AP she has left). She can, however, use Ragnaid on an ally and still move around fine.
** Also, one of the enemy lieutenants remarks how the protagonists seem like good people, and he's sorry he has to fight them.
* Avril Vent Fleur in ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 5]]'' apologizes for the pain she's about to inflict with her attacks.
* In Episode I of ''[[Xenosaga]]'', one of MOMO's battle end sayings is "I'm sorry, are you okay?" If they collapsed in a [[High-Pressure Blood|shower of blood]], they are pretty far from "okay."
** Chaos is a more extreme case of this. In certain cases during battle in the second episode, he'll quickly say sorry before attacking. In Episode I, however, he has a pre-battle and battle end quote in which he prays for the enemy's soul.
Line 239:
* In ''[[Frisky Dingo]]'', when Xander Crews and Killface were forced to fight to the death. They had originally agreed to fake it, and figured they'd think of something eventually, but when the audience wasn't buying it, Killface apologized to Xander before ''biting his ear off'', escalating the fight into actual to-the-death territory.
* Starfire from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' is oftentimes an apologetic attacker.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book 2/18 The Earth King/Recap|The Earth King]]": Katara apologizes to all the guards she has to water-whip out of the way when the Gaang's trying to get into the Earth King's palace.
** Aang and Sokka attacking Katara whilst under [[People Puppets|Hama's control]].
* The sequel series, ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' also uses it, when {{spoiler|Asami discovers her father is working for the Equalists}}.
