{{examples
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Magi Labyrinth of Magic (Manga)|Magi Labyrinth of Magic]]'', Aladdin's djinn Uugo tends to scare the crap out of whoever he's rescuing or protecting, what with him missing his head and all.
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo! GXP (Anime)|Tenchi Muyo GXP]]'': Protagonist Seina is only rescued from the [[Space Pirate]] Tarant Shank ([[Knight of Cerebus]][[hottip:*:[[Villain Decay|you'd think, anyway]]. and [[Knife Nut]]) by [[Betty and Veronica|the Betty]] of his [[Love Dodecahedron]], Kiriko -- [[Let's Get Dangerous|covered in the blood of every mook between her and Seina]]. His first reaction is terror -- which upsets her, and Seina spends most of his screentime in the rest of the episode upset at himself ''for'' being scared of his childhood friend/crush when she'd just saved his life.
* Done a lot in [[One Piece]]. We have [[The Berserker|Monster Point Chopper]] in the Enies Lobby arc, inadvertently saving many of his [[True Companions]] while also trying to kill them. Aokiji saves Robin in her backstory, while killing his own ally right in front of her. Crocodile gets Luffy out of Impel Down and -- while that had a reason; he wanted out too -- he later takes blows for Luffy and orders Mr. 1 to do the same as they attempt to rescue Ace. This is partially because he's done a... well, a "Heel Neutral Turn," and partly because Luffy just has that much charisma.
