** From the most recent novels we have {{spoiler|Sasaki}}, who is essentially a <s> villainous</s> [[Anti-Villain|antagonistic]] version of this trope.
* In ''[[Guyver]]'', Sho doesn't want to have the powers. When he technically has the opportunity to get rid of them (when the {{spoiler|Guyver Remover is found}}), he still keeps them because he needs to protect his friends. The new anime adds a nice twist to this, with Tetsuro picking up the G-Unit first and then passing it to Sho only when it started sprouting tentacles.
* In ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'', most of the characters just want to be rid of their curses. Granted, most would be pretty damn weird even ''without'' their curses.
** The characters of Ranma 1/2 fit this trope only tentatively. They have absolutely no complaints with their abnormal lives or their superhuman abilities, and most would probably hate being forced into normality in that fashion; the sole element of their lives they want gone are their Jusenkyo curses, which all but one character finds at the least annoying and at worst actively harmful to their lives. The one exception grew up with his curse... and also happens to go from cruel, egotistic [[Bishonen]] to a giant monster that the best martial artists of his generation have serious trouble defeating.
* Shinji Ikari from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' really, REALLY doesn't want to pilot a giant mech and save the world. Subverted when he runs away and realizes that ''without'' the Eva, he has (and ''is'') nothing.
