Line 16:
* In the first episode of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', we see an arrogant noble standing in the middle of a crowded road, harassing and threatening a commoner who had bumped into him, until [[The Stoic|Jin]] [[Master Swordsman|effortlessly cuts through his bodyguards]] [[I Was Just Passing Through|for standing in his way]]. By the end of the episode, he has been captured and is about to be executed for the offense. [[Plucky Girl|Fuu]] has some fireworks [[We Need a Distraction|she plans to use to free him]], but she doesn't have anything with which to light them. No points for guessing who reaches up from the crowd with a match.
* Early in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', Allelujah disobeys orders and rescues people at a space station, and during this time aids the governmental forces which are his group's enemies, impressing the antagonist, Sergei Smirnoff. This comes to Allejuah's aid later in the show, as Smirnoff lets an injured Allejuah go {{spoiler|and take Marie/Soma Peres, Sergei's adopted daughter/Allejuah's love interest with him}}, since he recognizes Allejuah's voice and knows he's a nice guy.
* Two important, non-related examples in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]:''
** The first one involved Judai. On the day of an important exam, the Duel Academy's card shop got a shipment of newly released cards; but Professor Chronos got their first and bought them ''all''. Then he gave them all to Manjyome, and said he would manipulate the match-ups in the field exam so that he and Judai were opponents, hoping Judai would not only fail, but be humiliated. Meanwhile, Judai overslept, and while running to class, met an old lady struggling with her stalled truck. Knowing he'd be late anyway, he stopped to help her with it. Later, when ''he'' finally got to the card store, he found out she ''owned'' the place, and saved one of the new packs of cards for him; Judai was actually able to win the duel against Manjyome with it, gaining a promotion. [[Keep the Reward|(Which he turned down.)]]
** The second example: After Manjyome left Duel Academy in disgust after a second humiliating loss to Misawa, he ended up shipwrecked and near North Academy, Duel Academy's rival school, which was situated in a arctic tundra. He was told by a disheveled man by the door that they wouldn't let anyone in without a full deck of forty cards, and there were cards hidden around the area; he himself had found 39, but was too exhausted to keep looking. Because the man refuses to sell them, Manjyome goes out and searches for his own, finding forty of them; but when he fears the man might freeze to death, he gives him one so he can go in (fibbing and saying he has 41). When the man goes in, Manjyome wonders what he's going to do ''now''; and suddenly he sees another card, which later becomes essential to winning a duel later in the episode. {{spoiler| He later finds out that this was a [[Secret Test of Character|Secret Test Of Character]]; the guy at the door was North Academy's chancellor.}}
