*** The second season gives us [[spoiler:Gaelio once more, this time using the CharClone identity "Vidar". Despite everything he's been through he's still generally a noble person, apologizing to Mikazuki for looking down on him the last time they met and defusing proto-TykeBomb Julietta by leading her towards his more idealistic way of thinking rather than the darker path that others (like her commander/idol Rustal Elion) seem to be pushing her towards. Mostly he just wants revenge on [=McGillis=] for all the damage he's done, and though he gets it it turns out to be utterly hollow and he actually finds himself sympathizing with his former friend as he dies. By the end of the series, Gaelio is one of the few characters who never engaged in any morally questionable actions, which considering [[CrapsackWorld the setting]] is saying something.]]

* ''Manga/FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd'': The Great Demon King that Frieren and the Hero Party defeated in the backstory was, according to Frieren, not truly malicious or looking to cause suffering ForTheEvulz the way every other demon encountered by them has. He actually wanted to ''understand'' humans, and find a way for them and demons to coexist peacefully. Unfortunately, the BlueAndOrangeMorality of demonkind means that the only way he knows to do this is by killing humans and forcing them to kill each other, then observing their emotions in response. It's entirely possible that, given enough time (and bodies) he really would have reached a point where HumanityEnsues. But by that point, he would've driven humanity to extinction with his "expirements."

Added DiffLines:

* ''Manga/YuGiOh'': When [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]] first appears in the manga, he's one of the most vicious bad guys so far, and that's really saying something. However, Mokuba reveals that his obsession with winning games to such a homicidal degree was the result of internalizing Gozaburo's abuse and traumatizing suicide. Being forced to literally put his mind back together by Dark Yugi makes him a better person, thought still a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

*''Anime/{{Starzinger}}'': Bellamis. He volunteered to become a cyborg to defend his home planet Gladius, and after he learns of the galaxy energy, he decides his new goal is to create a planet that those who are planet-less can return to. Even though his goal of making a safehaven for refugees is noble, he is manipulated by Queen Rasetsu for most of the series and oblivious to her true nature as a self serving LadyMacbeth.

** Androids #17 and #18 from the main timeline of are not only stronger than their other counterparts from the {{Alternate Timeline}}s, they are also not nearly as malicious as them. The only reason why they chase Goku is that they think it's like a game and they don't actually try to kill the Z-Fighters, they even spare their lives. It's also shown (in the manga and in filler scenes) that they don't seriously harm other civilians, though in the anime 17# does seemingly kill some rowdy bikers, who to be fair were harassing them.
