Easily Forgiven: Difference between revisions

** Arika also has no reservations about fighting alongside the Aswad, who attacked her during the survival exam and {{spoiler|killed her mother}}.

* Kouga in ''[[Inuyasha]]''. He started out by slaughtering Rin's entire village, and to top it off, kidnaps Kagome, falls for her, and tries to force her to be his bride. He falls into [[The Rival]] role, and the only person who distrusts him even slightly (aside from Rin, who rarely confronts him) is Inuyasha, and that's treated like a schoolyard dispute.

** Subverted again during the Impel Down arc when Luffy comes across Crocodile. Crocodile offers to help in exchange for being let out of his cell, but Luffy turns him down cold because of all the things he did in Alabasta. {{spoiler|Luffy is convinced to let him out anyway, though, because Ivankov assures him that he knows something about Crocodile to keep him in line.}}

** Played straighter with Bon Clay (a.k.a. Mr. 2) at the end of the Alabasta arc. Affable as he was, Mr. 2 DID directly take part in framing the king to incite the rebels to full-blown warfare, but after an [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to distract the Marines away from the escaping Straw Hats, he's been considered a friend of the crew ever since. He only briefly complains about Mr. 2 being with Baroque Works when Mr. 2 contacts him again.

** Played straight with Boa Hancock. Despite the fact that she turned several of her people to stone just for speaking up on Luffy's behalf and her sisters tried to smash those people just to hurt Luffy, after he defeats her sisters and she agrees to restore her petrified victims<ref>but not before trying to force Luffy to make a [[Sadistic Choice]]</ref> Luffy seems to forgive her within seconds.

** Also played with in regards to Nami and Jinbe after Jinbe apologizes for indirectly allowing Arlong to terrorize her hometown. Jinbe was even willing to accept any punishment as necessary but Nami explains that Arlong was the one who she will ''not'' easily forgive and she harbours no hate towards Jinbe or any other fishmen.

* Rokudo Mukuro from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''. He manipulated Lancia into killing all of his friends, beat up Tsuna's friends and used them as hostages, beat Tsuna up quite a bit during their fight, revealed his plan was to [[Grand Theft Me|possess Tsuna's body]] so he could destroy the Mafia and turn the world into a sea of blood, and [[Fighting Dirty|generally fought dirty]]. He is shown to be entirely unapologetic about the whole thing the next time he meets Tsuna, even stating that he plans to take over Tsuna at the next opportunity. However, when he {{spoiler|became Tsuna's guardian}} and showed Tsuna the vision of his body in prison, Tsuna quickly develops sympathy for him, and it becomes obvious that Tsuna has already forgiven him for the whole ordeal (much to Reborn's chagrin). Tsuna even goes so far as to excuse his unapologetic proclamation as him just being [[Aloof Ally|stubborn and shy]].

* Andrei Smirnov in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' counts very much here. He {{spoiler|committed patricide on his own father Sergei Smirnov, his adopted daughter Soma Peiries hunts him down with extreme vengeance}}. But in the latest episode, thanks to a certain [[Deus Ex Machina]] device... he is forgiven. Thankfully, said [[Deus Ex Machina]] comes with him ''finally'' [[My God, What Have I Done?|realising how much]] [[Heel Realization|of an ass he was]] [[Character Development|and getting rid of what makes him annoying]], thus somewhat [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|rescuing him from the Scrappy Heap]]. It could be a ''subversion'', since {{spoiler|Soma might have forgiven Andrei... but Andrei will never forgive ''himself''. Now that he knows Sergei ''did'' try to do his best to reach for him, the fact that he killed his dad as the ultimate rejection of him and the guilt coming from such a fact will certainly haunt Andrei ''forever''.}}
