* Evil in general doesn't seem to have any real problems with understanding good in ''[[Star Control]]''. The {{spoiler|Neo-Dnyarri}} gets bitten in the ass by self-serving pointlessly cruel evil not being able to get honourable evil, though: {{spoiler|it}} sends you against the most powerful race in the region to get killed. That would be fine... except that race happens to have been enslaved by {{spoiler|the Dnyarri}} and with the sort of sense of honor that would let you just leave the area unmolested (once) for warning them about the {{spoiler|Dnyarri returning}}. |

* Despite his alchemical and tactical genius, Hazama/Terumi Yuuki from ''[[BlazBlue]]'' either considers the spirit of goodness (and what motivates people into doing good) a means to [[Manipulative Bastard|use people to serve his whims]] ({{spoiler|like Litchi and Tsubaki}}) or considers it shitty and boring, if he understands it at all. In the ''Slight Hope'' story from Extend, however, this bites him square in the ass. {{spoiler|He was merrily carrying out his plans in the ''Wheel of Fortune'' timeline when Makoto Nanaya fell in from the ''Continuum Shift'' timeline, and when she got beat up after parrying a hit on Jin, he dismissed her as merely a "damned squirrel" best left to Relius. Between that incident, honesty to Tager and Kokonoe regarding her intentions, trusting Bang with rescuing Jin, and counseling Tsubaki (and asking her about the unknown-to-Makoto nonexistent Noel Vermillion), she [[Spanner in the Works|altered the timeline in a way that caused Hazama's plans to implode]] - even he was forced to admit asking Tsubaki about Noel caused it to self-destruct. Given his assassination attempt on her in ''Continuum Shift'' proper, which takes place days later, he has never forgiven her for this insult.}} |

* Downplayed in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]''; When Link finally confronts Demise in the [[Final Battle]], the Demon King is puzzled because Link has chosen to face him - clearly concepts like bravery and loyalty are new to a being who only feels Hate. ''However'', he does also say he finds such an attitude "fascinating" and admirable, acknowledging Link as a true warrior. This is something no other villain in the franchise has done. |
