== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* 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.
* [[The World God Only Knows|Keima Katsuragi]] basically just want to be left alone with his games, but he already [[Deal with the Devil|signed the contract]] that [[Off with His Head|make his head explode]] should he fail to accomplish (he think that it is contract for a new game). So he sucked up at his job, and made good success of it. It also helps that he grows to care for the girls which contain the [[Emotion Eater|Weiss]], because the Weiss will severely affect the girls in some way and will be reborn as the girls first child.
* Kyoko Koizumi in [[Twentieth Century Boys]]. She ends up involved in the whole "friend" conspiracy completely by accident, and repeatedly attempts (and fails) to go back to her normal life. Eventually she just gives in and rolls with it.
