* In the ''[[Highlander (TV series)|Highlander]]'' TV series, at some point Methos is coerced with physical harm or death by Kronos into rejoining his evil old friends. However, this development only lasts a few episodes.

* Sophitia Alexandria from the ''[[Soul Series]]'' falls into this category during ''Soulcalibur IV''. Her daughter has been captured and bound to the evil Soul Edge, meaning that if the sword is destroyed, so is her daughter's soul. Sophitia is forced to fight on the side of the villains and spill blood to save her daughter's life. The worst part of it is that her proximity to Soul Edge, her despair, her dread of doing something [[Moral Event Horizon|which can never be redeemed]], and [[Evil Feels Good|the overall exhilaration]] she tries to deny are all pushing her toward a permanent [[Face Heel Turn]]. {{spoiler|To rub salt in the wound, she's killed before she's ever got a chance to redeem herself.}}
** As of ''Soulcalibur V'', her daughter Pyrrha followed in her footsteps. Practically raised by Tira from the young age she was kidnapped at, once she grew old enough to have suitors, Tira killed every single one of them, giving Pyrrha a reputation as "The Bringer of Woe" and people everywhere incentive to kill her. Tira, being [[Poisonous Friend|Tira]], advises her to kill them all. After all, it's self defense, so it's okay. Of course, Tira's true goal is turning Pyrrha into the next host for [[Evil Weapon|Soul Edge]]. {{spoiler|She succeeds}}.

* In the first ''[[Art of Fighting]]'', Mr. Karate's identity is actually Takuma Sakazaki, father and master of the protagonist Ryo and Robert. He only became the [[Final Boss]] working with crimelord Mr. Big because they already took his daughter, Ryo's sister, Yuri, as a hostage and blackmailed Takuma to work for them unless he wants Yuri to bite it. By the second game, Takuma returned into being a good [[Cool Old Guy]], and Yuri [[Took a Level In Badass]].
* In ''[[Tekken]] 6'', after losing in the 5th tournament and seeing his master dwindle into an even worse state, Eddy Gordo becomes desperate in giving him medical treatment. Cue Jin Kazama, after he himself pulled a [[Face Heel Turn]] into the head of Mishima Zaibatsu, offers him a medication so long as he joins the Zaibatsu. Without much choice, Eddy joins and turns from a model citizen in a soldier involved in many of the Zaibatsu's dirty works. {{spoiler|Jin lied about the medication.}}
* ''[[Oracle of Tao]]'', the [[Big Bad]] of the first game (there's also a [[Playable Epilogue]] that has a totally different enemy) is basically sent out on an exploration mission for his fellow demons (they're in a [[Crapsack World]] and looking to escape). The very first town he visits, [[All of the Other Reindeer|all the villagers treat him like a pariah]] and [[Sealed Evil in

** In the [[Visual Novel]] (first game), [[Hot Mom|Kouchuu]]/[[The Archer|Huang Zhong]] first ends up as Kazuto's enemy because Enshou/Yuan Shao is holding her daughter Riri as a hostage.
** In the animated adaptation, Kouchuu also was found first as a would-be assassin about to kill a high-ranking officer because several bandits (led by {{spoiler|the fake Ryuubi}}) has taken her daughter hostage. For both versions, once the daughter is rescued, she ends up becoming the good guys.
* In ''[[Fist of the North Star]]: [[Dynasty Warriors|Ken's Rage]]'' Dream Mode, the usually virtuous Rei ends up serving Thouzer as one of the [[Token Good Teammate]] since his beloved sister (and later, {{spoiler|his lover Mamiya}})is planted with a bomb in case he rebels. The other [[Token Good Teammate]] (Shew) has no such forcing.
* Nearly everyone in ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'' were [[Forced Into Evil]] when subjugated by Orochi, with many blackmails to follow, be it their people in danger (Tokugawa), their leaders getting held hostage (Shu and Wu), etc. The exceptions include Maeda Keiji ([[Sympathy for
** And reversed in ''3''. In order to prevent reuniting with Orochi, Dong Zhuo is forced by Zhuge Liang to serve the force of Good, which makes him 'Forced Into Good'.

* The Urpneys only really seemed bothered about going after ''[[The Dreamstone]]'' because [[Bad Boss|Zordrak]] will either [[Taken for Granite|turn them into stone]] or feed them to the Frazznats otherwise, making them essentially all [[Slave Mooks|conscripts]]. [[Co-Dragons|Sgt Blob and Urpgor]] partly go after it for rivalistic sake though.
