Line 69:
*** Except for Yukari. She was just being a harmless prankstress who managed to be more annoying than dangerous.
**** It would probably be more accurate to say that they became friends because Tsukune always forgave them for everything.
* A longstanding tradition in ''[[
** Not ALL of Josuke's friends tried to kill him, just the vast majority. The minority being Koichi. Just Koichi.
** And Mikitaka, but he may or may not be all there.
Line 192:
* In [[The Remake]] of ''[[The Karate Kid]]'', Cheng and his group of friends who had once bullied Dre respect him after he wins the tournament. In fact, Cheng, the main bully, is the one to present the trophy to him.
* It's a one fight thing, but when the documentary film, ''When We Were Kings'', won its Oscar, [[Muhammad Ali]] and George Foreman went to the podium with the winners as a gesture to show they'd reconciled over the 1974 bout. (Particularly touching was Foreman's very gentle attempts to assist Ali up the steps). No such luck getting Smokin' Joe to forgive the Uncle Tom comments, though.
* In the 2008 ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'', Horton is triumphant getting his neighbours to believe the microscopic Whos exist and is hailed a hero of the ages. However, he can't help but notice the Sour Kangaroo is now alone, ashamed and hated for what she did to him and almost to the Whos. Fortunately, Horton has a heart as big as his ears and he immediately goes to offer his forgiveness to the Kangaroo. The Kangaroo, realizing how lucky she is to have a friend as noble as Horton, immediately offers to help him shelter the Whos for the trip to Mount Nool.
* Puss in Boots, in ''[[Shrek]]''.
* The [[Disney Channel]] seems to like the trope. Well, there's no actual fighting, but after the [[Mary Sue|protagonist]] wins/beats their opponent/whatever, the antagonist suddenly becomes BFFs with them.
Line 302:
** In ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', Zetta can challenge and beat most of his fellow overlords and obtain either them or some other form of stand-in (they've got netherworlds to run, after all) as party members -- including Laharl -- during a [[New Game+]]. Just ''don't'' expect this to work on Salome, though.
*** {{spoiler|Cept it does. It just gives you a bad ending on top of it. You get her after going through the bad ending, there just [[Subverted Trope|isn't an actual event of it happening]]}}
** ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has Yukimaru, who joins you after Adell beats her in the tournament and talks her down from probably-very-honorable-but-not-really-wished-for suicide.
** ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'' has Odie as a main story example, and {{spoiler|[[Disgaea|Asagi]] and [[Grim Grimoire|Lujei]]}} as [[Bonus Boss]] examples. {{spoiler|The Demon Path is full of this, but it's more a case of 'defeat equals slavery' there -- except for the previous villains, who line up to join you with a smile on their faces.}}
* In the [[Expansion Pack]] to ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]] II'', you can recruit Sarevok, [[Big Bad]] of the first game, into your party. This is after you've killed him. Twice. A popular mod also allows you to recruit [[Big Bad]] of the ''second'' game (that's the one this is an expansion to). After killing him. [[Death Is Cheap|Twice]].
Line 357:
* In ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'', <s>Lakilester</s> Spike fights Mario on Huff N. Puff's orders. After Mario beats him, he joins his party.
* A few of ''[[Earthbound]]'''s supporting characters are introduced as bosses, even one in particular who {{spoiler|helps you defeat Giygas.}}
* In ''[[Recettear: An Item
* In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'', Terry, the boss in Terrydactyland, accuses Banjo and Kazooie of stealing his eggs, and they fight him in a boss battle. After Terry is defeated, Banjo says that they haven't stolen his eggs, and offers to look for them for him. After finding them, he thanks them and rewards them with a Jiggy.
* Inverted and lampshaded in ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]''. The spirit of the sentient Sand Prince Gem is enthusiastic in greeting the party characters and happily offers them his/its [[Upgrade Artifact|assistance]]... but he/it needs them to pass a test of character before they can use him/it.
