'''Examples:'''
Line 25:
== Anime & Manga ==
* Many characters in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX|GX]]'' fall into some Dark Side's trap, usually by trying to use an [[Artifact of Doom]] or something [[Powered By a Forsaken Child]] (i.e. Marik, Dartz, Akunadin, Saiou, Judai), sometimes with good intentions (Yami Yugi used the Seal of Orichalcos partly to save his Dark Magician Girl, Fubuki used his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] to try to save Ryo). They start confident they'll be able to control what they unleash, but inevitably, the power's/object's inherent darkness is controlling them.
* Used straight and subverted in ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'': gaining Hollow powers raises people's upper power (it is stated that shinigami have a maximum power they can attain) and allows them great spiritual growth. But it also risks giving into your [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] for a world-class [[Freak -Out]]. The Vizard thoroughly beat their dark sides into submission in order to access the power safely, and teach others in their dilemma how to do the same; however, not all people who gain Hollow powers ''want'' to suppress [[The Dark Side]].
* [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] has Negi learning [[Black Magic]] so that he'll be able to protect his students, and it's implied that there's a real risk of the power taking control.
** It's also used more humorously, as Evangeline will attempt to "turn Negi to the dark side'' whenever the opportunity presents itself. It hasn't worked yet.

== Western Animation ==
* Raven in the first season ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' episode "Nevermore". Her inner darkness took control of her, that's why she pulled Dr. Light under her cloak with all the [[Naughty Tentacles|black tentacles]] and did [[Mind Rape|something horrible]] underneath. All with [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|glowing]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] and the nastiest smile she's ever had in the show. It's a deep [[Enemy Within|internal struggle]] though, and she's mortified when she snaps out of it. Though the glow comes back and she snarls with sharp teeth when asked what she'd done to him.
* An episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' had Dark Laser offer Timmy a suit of dark powers, hoping to get him addicted to evil and [[We Can Rule Together|make him his apprentice]]. It almost works.
* Parodied in ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'' when Barnacleboy tells Mermaidman he's crossing over to the Dark Side. It's then shown that half of the Krusty Krab restaurant is in a veil of utter blackness, to the point where we can't see anything within.
