* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': This is basically Rossiu's character arc after the [[Time Skip]]. While Simon's a popular figurehead, Rossiu is the one that gets things done. When the [[The Call Knows Where You Live|plot restarts]], his [[Heroic Resolve]] starts to buckle under the weight of [[The Chains of Commanding]]. He keeps [[Shoot the Dog|making unpopular decisions]] until {{spoiler|he reaches the [[Despair Event Horizon]] and [[Driven to Suicide|attempts suicide]].}}

* ''[[Code Geass]]'' has an interesting subversion. {{spoiler|By the end of the series, Emperor Lelouch has become an even worse evil overlord than his social Darwinist father. But that was the ''point'', to [[~~Zero-Percent~~ Approval Rating|unify the world through its hatred of him]] and arrange it so he was overthrown at the last minute, thereby giving the good guys the opportunity and public support necessary to rebuild the world's various monarchies and dictatorships as democracies instead.}} Prince Schneizel's plans to overthrow his father, however, would most likely have been a case of this played straight.

* In ''[[Saint Beast]]'', Zeus overthrows the tyranny of [[The Old Gods]] and subsequently becomes a tyrant in their place leading to another (failed) rebellion by the protagonists.
