* While he did initially try to [[Refused the Call|Refuse The Call]], Shinji from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' mostly falls into this category. While he hates being a pilot and the constant stress of battle he continues to take his Evangelion into battle, and both of his efforts to stop being a pilot wind up being [[Ten-Minute Retirement|Ten Minute Retirements]].

* Sosuke Sagara of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' is an odd example. He doesn't mind going into battle and fighting dastardly foes in a [[Humongous Mecha]], really. After all, it's [[Hired Guns|his job]], and 'bout the only thing he's good at, having grown up a [[Child Soldier]]. However, he DOES mind being assigned to the ONLY robot in the unit which is powered by [[Hot-Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]]. He frequently declares that a system so uncertain that you can only use it when your 'emotions peak' is way too unreliable to be a decent weapon, but is rather more like magic - and he's a SOLDIER, not a WIZARD! And yet, he's the only one who can use the system at ALL, so even though he'd much rather just use a bog-standard [[Real Robot]], every time a Lambda Drive-equipped enemy shows up, he's got no choice but to climb into his [[Super Robot]] and take them on, grumbling all the way.
