* In the second season of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', the Wolkenritter assume that stealing others' magical powers is the only way to save their master. That's obviously wrong (and [[It Got Worse]]) but they don't realize that until the late episodes, {{spoiler|joining forces with the heroes}}. Generally, Nanoha herself believes that everything can be avoided and always [[Warrior Therapist|inquires about the baddies' motivation]] (usually, to no avail) before [[Defeat Means Friendship|befriending them into submission]].

** In the first season, Fate Testarossa refuses to ask for Nanoha's help in recovering the Lost Logia, even though Nanoha's only objective was that they were safely sealed. {{spoiler|Although this probably wouldn't have worked in the long run anyway, considering the Fate's Mom was going to use them to break reality.}}
