** [[Played for Drama]]: {{spoiler|Yanagin was in Habara's gang as well, but she did a [[Heel Face Turn]] due to [[Scars Are Forever|what happened to Karasawa.]]}}
* The final climax of the 2003 version of ''[[Astro Boy (anime)|Astro Boy]]''. For the entire series, Dr. Tenma had been trying to guide Astro so that he would eventually become the most powerful robot in the world, able to rule over all humanity. However, all this time, Astro had been fighting for peaceful man-machine coexistence. So in their final conflict, Tenma and Astro meet in the abandoned Laboratory 7, {{spoiler|where most of Tenma's angst originated, first with his real son then with Astro's original incarnation}}. What finally ended the battle wasn't strength of arms at all, but Astro {{spoiler|forgiving Tenma for everything he did. He suddenly realizes that the robot he built himself had shown himself to be ''more human than him'', and he finally surrenders.}}
* ''[[A Certain Scientific Railgun]]'': When Accelerator first gained his powers, he killed many people without intending to. He later participates in a project with the goal of increasing his power, so that no one would dare challenge him again and get hurt. Said project consisted of slaughtering thousands of Sisters (clones of the third-most powerful esper). At the end of his fight with Touma, Accelerator realizes that the Sisters he'd been slaughtering for power are also human. This eventually leads to his [[Heel Face Turn]] and becoming a main protagonist.
