Line 34:
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', though Ed rarely holds back in showing how much he hates Mustang, he seems to trust him almost implicitly, due to the fact that Mustang's been keeping his and Al's secret for four years. He evens comments in one episode of Brotherhood:
{{quote|'''Ed:''' The colonel might be a bastard, but he's trustworthy.}}
* ''[[Baccano!]]'' has this involving the immortal 10 year old, Czeslaw Meyer. No, he's not the [[Deliberately Cute Child|sweet kid]] who makes the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|huge cast]] of [[The Mafia|assorted]] [[Psycho for Hire|criminals]] find themselves. After a couple hundred years of bad experiences, he has issues trusting anything in this world. The anime and novels has [[The Ditz|Issac]], [[Dumb Blonde|Mirria]], [[Battle Butler|Ennis]], [[The Mafia|Maiza]] and [[Stepford Smiler|Elmer]] to drive the point to him. It only takes about 70 years.
* In ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'', Shannon has trouble tapping into his hidden D-Knight abilities because he doesn't trust Zefiris enough to use them. When they first try [[Fusion Dance|combining]], his power gives out after several minutes of fighting.
** [[Cryptic Conversation|He had]] [[Ancient Conspiracy|his reasons]] [[The Chessmaster|not to]] [[The Plan|trust her.]]
Line 95:
{{quote|''If you doubt and hesitate, we are lost! Why should I bring you up out of the pits to betray you now?''}}
** In "The Shadow Kingdom", [[Kull]] is given a stolen gem to inspire trust, because he can now betray the man.
* This is one of the central themes of ''Worlds of Deep Space 9: Cardassia'' in the ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine relaunchRelaunch]]''. Vedek Yevir appeals to the virtue of trust in order to prevent a 14-year-old would-be suicide bomber from going through with the attack.
* In L. Jagi Lamplighter's ''[[Prospero's Daughter|Prospero Regained]]'', Astreus mocks Miranda for declaring she would never trust him, telling her to trust no one and they could write on her tombstone "She trusted no one."
* This is a rising theme in the ''[[Mistborn]]'' trilogy, and one of the keys to victory in the last book.
