Line 38:
* In ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' (the anime), {{spoiler|Faldio's}} "villainhood" is very poorly executed. {{spoiler|He saves everyone's lives with his desperate gamble in activating Alicia, but gets only grief and reproach from everyone, even himself - though nobody ever suggests a possible alternative to his course of action.}} That Alicia survives to live happily ever after, whereas Faldio has an ignominious death off-scene, compounds the problem. Many fans of the game hate his prominence in the anime *anyway*, so they're likely not to care.
* This is ultimately what {{spoiler|Lelouch's}} Zero Requiem aims for in ''[[Code Geass]]''. {{spoiler|With Lelouch deliberately making himself the focal point of the world's hatred, and with his death, usher in the better world his sister always hoped for.}}
* The official ''[[Touhou Project]]'' manga ''Forbidden Scrollery'' has the very infamous case of the Fortune Teller, a man from the Human Village who turned himself into a youkai and was presumably killed by Reimu for this reason alone, as it is apparently considered the greatest sin a human can commit. Apart from that, he didn't do anything reprehensible, his only crime was being a pro-human advocate in a world that caters to the needs of the youkai (who generally treat humans as their playthings and their food), and even when taking [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]] into account, human magic users voluntarily turning into magicians (also a type of youkai) were never considered a problem, so condemning him for virtually the same thing seems very arbitrary.
