Line 116:
* ''[[Flame of Recca]]'' is notorious for this, particularly during the [[Tournament Arc]]. People who were trying to kill Team Hokage just hours ago are suddenly eating snacks, playing videogames, and sharing stories with our heroes in their hotel room.
** And one of them creates a fan club for Fuko.
* This shows up as a recurring theme in ''[[Hayate Cross× Blade]]'', probably because the premise of having pairs fight each other means that one half of a team can get into trouble with somebody else, getting their partner involved in the process. Other than the Momotaro-gumi, a [[Four-Girl Ensemble]] that came about after the members had fought each other to the point of bloodshed (a nosebleed, that is); examples also include Mizuchi, who becomes a lot more likable after her defeat at Ayana's hands.
* In ''[[Harlem Beat]]'', almost all rival teams become this with Johnan team.
* Possibly subverted in ''[[Black Lagoon]]'': Chang and Balalaika became friends after their (intended) fight to the death turned out a draw.
Line 175:
**** Well, the Rebels didn't exactly make a habit of being easy to find, especially to the Imperial Navy. Defections are somewhat more difficult when the enemy army is almost always in hiding.
* In the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mirage]]'' comics, Casey Jones spent most of his first appearance having a knock-down-drag-out brawl with Raphael over Casey's overly violent street vigilantism. Raphael ultimately won, and Casey thereupon became one of the turtles' closest allies and Raphael's best friend. The [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|2003 cartoon]] had a similar sequence.
* A [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] character in ''[[Birds of Prey (comics)|Birds of Prey]]'' {{spoiler|that later becomes Misfit}} assumes this is the reason Oracle ends up attacking her when she breaks into the clocktower.
* This trope is how [[Popeye (comic strip)|Popeye]] befriends Toar, the immortal caveman. After Toar admits defeat ("You hit too hard, no fight crazy fool like you!"), Popeye offers him a friendship and Toar accepts.
* In a rare example of the villain winning, Meteor defeats [[Kamen America]], before realising that they're [[Not So Different]] after all.
