* In [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime version]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', the older of two Ishvalan brothers is quite bitter toward his mother, who ran out into the foyer of the home where the two boys were, then when soldiers arrived, ran into the bedroom seemingly out of cowardice, being killed when a shell hit. He eventually finds out that her eyesight had deteriorated, and she was running back to check on her children, not knowing where they were, when he opens the locket and finds eye medicine inside.

** Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke looked up to him before he massacred his clan, but after realizing he was forced into it, avenging what happened to him becomes his motive for revenge.

** Quite a few filler characters also count; the princess in the Land of Vegetables arc realizes that her father regretted having her sent away as a hostage so his nation could survive, and Utakata realizes that his master wanted to extract the Six Tails for his sake.

* In ''[[One Piece]]'', Laboon desperately tried to break through the Red Line to reach his crew, believing that they sailed back to West Blue rather than circumnavigating the globe on the Grand Line, also forgetting their promise to return to him. It’s eventually revealed that they had been killed on the Grand Line. One of their crew, Brook, came back to life with his Devil Fruit power, and is determined to return to Laboon to fulfill his promise

* Yoruichi for Soifon in ''[[Bleach]]'', as Soifon initially hated her for leaving her behind after fleeing Soul Society, but apparently came to forgive her, as in fillers and manga extras, addresses her with the same respect and shows the same admiration she had when she was younger.

* In ''[[Mai-HiME (manga)|Mai-HiME]]'', Natsuki temporarily enters a Heroic BSOD after learning that {{spoiler|her mother was supposedly planning to sell her}}, but later decides to believe in the mother inside her heart.

* Mai (Konami's daughter) from ''[[Popotan]]'' has a severe grudge against her namesake (one of the main characters), {{spoiler|because she never came back to her mother before she died, despite the two of them being best friends who had promised to see each other again}}. In the last episode, {{spoiler|once she's back in the same time period as Konami, Mai has her promise not to resent her for not being able to come back, since her time travel is out of her control. Judging from her daughter's attitude towards Mai in the same episode, it worked on her as well}}.
