=== {{examples|Aversions and Subversions ===}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Aiber from ''[[Death Note]]'' is a conman who absolutely abhors violence of any kind.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* In ''[[Animorphs]]'', [[Sixth Ranger Traitor|David]] is a [[Technical Pacifist]]. He refuses to kill any humans, but [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|is fine with killing people that have]] [[Animorphism|shapeshifted into animals]]. {{spoiler|It is later suggested that he might have broken this code to murder Jake's cousin, but since he had already been badly injured in an accident, David might have simply stopped him from getting treatment and left him to die of his own injuries, which by his twisted morality still wouldn't be murder.}}
* Subverted in the [[Left Behind]] novels, at least initially; [[Villain with Good Publicity|Nicolae]] [[Designated Villain|Capathia]] starts his political career as an outspoken pacifist pushing for global disarmament.
* The Blue Lobsters of ''[[The Butterfly Kid]]'' are so pacifistic that they get physically ill at the thought of committing violence themselves -- but are perfectly fine with letting others be violent on their behalf, which is a key element of their plans for taking over the Earth.
 
== Movies ==
* In ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man 3]]'', Sandman tries to talk Spider-Man out of battling him.
* Grima Wormtongue in ''[[The Lord of the Rings|The Two Towers]]'' is notably in favour of peace ... or at least of Rohan refraining from military action.
