Line 25:
*** To elaborate on him: {{spoiler|he's trying to break her out of an energy bubble, and gets it open. She freaks out because it's the guy who killed her partner, increasing his guilt. By the time she snaps out of it, the hole is closed and he starts trying to punch it open. He's so focused that he's shot in the back by about ten razor disks in a truly disturbing [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|was-this-really-for-kids scene]] and plummets to the sea of deletion goo below, trailing data in lieu of blood. And only got saved at the ''last possible second''. And nearly died of his injuries afterwards}}.
* In the ''[[Trigun]]'' manga, part of [[The Reveal]] in the flashback arc is that Rem was complicit in {{spoiler|the [[Strapped to An Operating Table|testing]] to [[They Would Cut You Up|destruction]] of Tesla, the girl [[Artificial Human|born from the bulbs]] before Vash and Knives were.}} Her mothering of the twins is an attempt to make amends for not doing anything to save Tesla. When they are found out by another researcher, he turns out to feel the same way.
** Of course, Knives does not much care about that part, concludes with [[Jerkass Has a Point|justification]] that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]], goes [[Axe Crazy]] and makes a good shot at a [[Kill All Humans]] plan. And Vash spends the next several decades feeling he has to make amends for that, somehow, until Knives ''uses him to blow up a fucking city'', and then he feels the need to make up for ''that''. Then Knives does it again, although Vash managed to evacuate that one first.
* A major villain successfully pulls this off as the punch line to one of ''[[Naruto]]'''s more spectacular [[Wham! Episode|Wham Arc]]s.
* In ''[[Tsukigasa]]'', Azuma feels incredibly guilty about cutting off Kuroe's arm, but doesn't know how to make amends. Eventually he gives Kuroe a blade and tells him to do whatever he likes to even the score but it's only when they finally are completely honest about everything that it gets resolved and Azuma can let go of some of the guilt.
