=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** Fisher Tiger
** In the Dressrosa Arc, Donquixote Doflamingo's biggest asset towards keeping his iron grip on the country was the unique Devil Fruit ability of his henchman Sugar. With merely a touch, Sugar could turn any living creature into a [[Living Toy]], under her complete control, and as an added bonus, this [[Ret-Gone]]d the victim's former identity, ensuring their families and friends would not come looking for them. Over the ten years, Doflamingo ruled Dressrosa, Sugar was very liberal in use of this power, doing so to thousands of citizens and enemies. The flaw in this strategy, however, is that it had [[No Ontological Inertia]]. When the confrontation with Usopp rendered her unconscious, ''every single victim'' was restored, and memories of them were regained. With families reunited and hordes of enemies unleashed, this act not only fits Trope, but [[Slave Revolt]] as well, ultimately bringing Donflamingo's reign down.
** In the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, the Straw Hats' initial plan to rescue Camie from the slave auction was to buy her themselves; however, after [[Upper Class Twit| Saint Charlos]] made a [[Whammy Bid]], they had to resort to plan-B, which was starting a fight. This in turn, led to Luffy assaulting Charlos, the first - [[Can't Stop the Signal| but as a result, not nearly the last]] - time anyone had [[Sudden Principled Stand| dared oppose a World Noble.]]

* [[wikipedia:Harriet Tubman|Hariet Tubman]]
* This is basically what the documentary ''[[The Dark Side of Chocolate]]'' hopes to accomplish for the many child slaves used in the cocoa industry.
* Whenever the Allied armies overran a concentration camp in [[World War 2]]. Technically the liberation took a long time as the victims tended to be so [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|traumatized]] that they needed considerable treatment before recycling back into civilization.
* In the sixteenth century when there was basically a [[Forever War]] on the Mediterranean, one Spanish captain is recorded by Fernard Braudel as waiting offshore the Barbary states to ambush corsairs on their way back from raids and return with the intended galley slaves. That Captain must have been rich enough in his own right to finance a pro-bono private war, though he sounds like he would make a great subject for an Errol Flynn movie.
