Line 11:
 
It should be noted that if any kind of brainwashing is successful in turning a person from one side to the opposing side, the brainwashee will automatically consider the change (by virtue of the brainwashing itself) to be a [[Heel Face Turn]], no matter what the real case is.

== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Death Note]]'', {{spoiler|Light did this to himself in a [[Memory Gambit]], although he merely intended to "prove" his innocence by helping to catch the "real" Kira. He planned to provide himself with a way to reverse his [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] after he had earned the good guys' trust}}
Line 94:
** Annabeth, also in ''[[The Heroes of Olympus]]'', tells Jason that Percy told her about the power of the River Lethe to erease memories, even from Titans, which is what happened to Iapetus. Its Canon alright
* In the third book in the ''[[Sea of Trolls]]'' series, we meet a dwarf (not the [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|fantasy kind]], but a "[[Unfortunate Implications|little person]]"). He seems decent at first, but we later learn that he's a shady, treacherous [[Jerkass]] working for the evil king. After his memory is erased, he becomes a perfectly decent guy.
* In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', Harry casts the Imperius Curse on a Death Eater. Granted, he only made the Death Eater play along with the Hermione-is-Bellatrix facade, but still! It could be seen that he had no other option, however—it was either use the Imperius curse or be revealed as imposters. The Order (and later Harry) also give Kreacher orders that are supposed to keep him from betraying them, knowing that he's really on the Death Eaters' side - as a House Elf, he can't help but obey.
** He's certainly a gray character at best, but Barty Crouch Sr. breaking his son out of Azkaban and then using the Imperius curse to control him could qualify, since his purpose was mainly to keep him from revealing himself and killing people/trying to resurrect Voldemort.
* ''[[Artemis Fowl]]''.
