Line 19:
** ''[[Rose of Versailles Abridged]]'' spoofs this. Marie tries it as a [[Jedi Mind Trick]]. The King is only partly affected, but he sighs and let's Andre go anyway.
* Sheeda does this for Oguma in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' OVA (this is not in the games because Oguma's backstory in the games doesn't work with this).
* ''[[Bleach]]'': [[
* Rowena/Margaret did this to save Erika from the wrath of Richter after he found out his sister was in love with Kazuya, the pilot of ''[[Daimos]]''.
* Hermione did this in ''[[Romeo X Juliet]]'' to stop Laertes Montague from taking Romeo's [[Cool Horse]] Ciel away.
Line 70:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', Judge Zargabaath attempts this with Vayne Carudas Solidor to save {{spoiler|Drace}}, his colleague Judge Magister, which is effectively a mix between a [[Four-Star Badass]] and a [[Judge, Jury, and Executioner]], after {{spoiler|Drace's failed attempt to violently refute Vayne's claim to autocratic powers with the death of his father, the Emperor Gramis Solidor}}. Zargabaath's considerations were likely to have stemmed from pragmatic considerations - Drace was a very talented Judge Magister, one Judge Magister had [[Never Found the Body|gone missing in action for a few years now]], and another had perished in an accident, so they were running out of qualified men and women for the post - but given Zargabaath's portrayal as a reasonable and level-headed gentleman, sympathy probably wasn't out of the question. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, Vayne has Drace executed anyways.}}
* In ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]: Cursed Memories'', the [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Honor Before Reason]]-afflicted Adell is escorting the [[Defrosting Ice Queen]], Rozalin, back to her father, The [[Evil Overlord|Overlord]], whom he plans to defeat for the good of all. Rozalin is quite sure he'll have no chance whatsoever against her father, being a [[Puny Humans|Puny Human]] in a world of demons, and while she initially relishes the thought of him being squashed, her gradual defrosting - and his clear dedication to protecting her and keeping his promise of returning her to her father - begins to change her mind. Eventually, she resolves to follow this trope and beg the Overlord to spare Adell once they reach him. And, when you first encounter him and find him unbeatable, she actually follows through. This, however, only makes him more determined to kill you, since he fears what [[The Power of Love]] could do to Rozalin...
* In the AGD [[King's Quest II]], this is the correct answer to {{spoiler|one of the Cloud Spirit's tests.}}
** Also implied in [[King's Quest IV]] on Edgar's part when Rosella is brought before Lolotte.
