Line 32:
* During a sequence in ''[[Daughter of Twenty Faces]]'', a villain attempts to kill Chiko with an axe while atop a speeding train. She overextends, stumbles, and is hanging on for dear life against the wind. Chiko attempts to save her, but...
* Vash The Stampede, in ''[[Trigun]]'', has done this on many occasions due to his [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]] mantra, often giving foes that he's injured first aid. This culminated in {{spoiler|him saving his twin brother, Knives Millions, even after vowing revenge on him for his entire life after he killed thousands of people and, more importantly to Vash, his maternal figure Rem.}}
* In ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends once in a while end up saving the [[Terrible Trio|Team Rocket]] trio's lives. The reaction varies from [[Ungrateful Bastard]] [[Lampshade Hanging|(the lampshade is even hung sometimes)]]
** Examples of this include the episodes [[Enemy Mine|"Pikachu Re-Volts"]], "Freeze Frame,"
*** Though to be fair, Team Rocket have saved Ash's life several times in the movies, in part because they admit they wouldn't have much a life without chasing him.
* Train from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' does this after his final battle with Creed. After successfully knocking Creed out, Creed starts falling off the roof they were fighting on. Train manages to grab onto his hand, but starts slipping himself. His reason being that he can't let Creed die now, since Creed must live and repent for his sins - especially after Train has gone through the trouble not to kill him during the fight. Leon eventually saves them both by using manipulating the wind to allow them to stay afloat.
