** There's also Paya-tan. And Elise. Actually, including Anego, I would put them not so much as "become her friends" as "are conquered and become bondsmen.
* Inverted a bit in ''Yugo the Negotiator''. Yugo always get his ass handed to him, but he manages to get all cooperation he needs from them in the end, [[Determinator|being the stubborn person he is.]] As a negotiator, it helps that he is also always looking for the best outcome for all sides involved.
* Graham Spector of ''[[Baccano!]]'' concludes that Ladd Russo is his best friend in the whole wide world after the latter takes a high-speed monkey wrench to the side without even a flinch and subsequently owns him. Of course, Graham's batshit insane, so that might explain it.
** Good thing [[Psycho for Hire|Ladd]] is too.
* A strange semi-example in a bit of [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Star Wars Manga]] - yes, there is ''[[Star Wars]]'' manga ([[Canon Discontinuity|although it's non-canon, meaning it didn't happen]] ) - happened when Darth Vader slaughters a group of hidden Jedi, sparing the last one - a very young boy named [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tao Tao] - because the kid's anger and horror is so strong that it hints at serious Dark Side potential. He takes the boy as a secret apprentice (rather creepier than [[The Force Unleashed|Starkiller]]), and even though Vader killed Tao's family and razed his world, Tao somehow can't really hate Vader. Even when the Emperor finds out and has Vader kill him - really, he was [[Only Mostly Dead]], and Tao was able to save his master from something else before dying happy, since Vader took him back to his razed homeworld to be buried.
