** Seto Kaiba repeatedly tried to kill the protagonists in the early manga, including Honda / Tristan's year old nephew who just happened to be with them at the time. One of the ways was locking them in a house with a child mass murderer. They do hold a bit of a grudge for a while but still forgive him far too quickly.

* In ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'', both Kusuri and Hahari are forgiven by the others for trapping the other girls in an AndIMustScream situation and trying to have Rentarou ''killed'', respectively. While it makes sense that they'd forgive Kusuri - she mistakenly thought that they'd realise the big flask was for Rentarou instead of all of them, and she's horrified at the results of the mix-up - Hahari is welcomed to the harem with open arms, despite having done much worse.

** ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'' arguably handles this the worst out of the entire franchise. [[MadScientist Aiwarn]] and [[GodIsEvil Ophiuchus]] are both villains who get nothing more than a slap on the wrist simply because they were able to comprehend the beauty behind mortal imagination power, despite the fact that both of them are guilty of ''genocide'' with Ophiuchus even trying to extend it to pure [[OmnicidalManiac omnicide]] [[LackOfEmpathy while showing constant apathetic traits]] throughout the entire season's run. It's telling that every other villain afterwards is either an AntiVillain who gets better handled redemptions or pure evil monsters who suffers from a FateWorseThanDeath- the next season even has it so that, for the first time in the history of the series, ''none'' of the villains reform and they are all killed off by the end of the season.

** Subverted with Kyros. He was hated by the citizens of Dressrosa because of his past as a criminal, but even after becoming the Hero of the Corrida Colosseum years later didn't clear up his reputation. It took him several years of service in the military and numerous heroic deeds that allowed him to become accepted by the public. In fact, the citizens are in the know that Princess Scarlett faked her death in order to marry Kyros without causing political issues, and they all kept the OpenSecret secret, so that Kyros and Scarlett could live in peace, something that they later repeat with Kyros and his daughter Rebecca.
*** By contrast, it's played more straight with King Riku forgiving Kyros for his deeds, since he offered him several opportunities for Kyros to redeem himself and the king acknowledged all of Kyros's efforts.

** Turns out Nash was NotSoAboveItAll after all. During his duel with Yuma, Nash declared that he would not be detaching the Overlay Units of [=CXyz=] Barian Hope because they represent his fallen comrades, choosing instead to pay 400 LP to activate their effects. Even Vector. In fact, when Nash uses Vector's number ability, he imagines Vector's spirit standing by him. [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Is Yuma rubbing off on Nash, is he just acting on principle, or did he see Vector's]] HeroicSacrifice as a sign that Vector finally changed for the better?

** When Caribou (who had previously attempted to torture and kill the Straw Hats, but hilariously failed) tells Luffy [[BlatantLies he's turned over a new leaf and wants to join his pirate alliance as his underling]], Luffy instantly believes him without hesitation. Caribou is so shocked that Luffy believed him so easily that he wonders if he's being led into a trap and becomes scared to try and backstab Luffy in the process.

** Also in ''ARC-V'', we have what could be the most extreme example in the franchise -- Yuri. He never even showed any regret for any of his past actions or promised to atone nor did he realize his FreudianExcuse, yet Yuto and Yugo seem on better terms with him after Z-ARC is defeated. Yuri encourages Yuya to summon the dragons when the latter is afraid of becoming Z-ARC again, when it was Yuri's actions that unleashed him in the first place.

* ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'':
** Lum never really holds any grudges against Ran despite Ran's constant schemes to get revenge on Lum for the various misdeeds she committed towards Ran when they were kids, which have included attempting to use her KissOfDeath powers on Lum's beloved Ataru.
** In a two-part {{filler}} arc in the 1981 anime, when Lum accidentally crashes her ship on Mendo's estate and gets amnesia, Mendo tries to use this to manipulate her into believing she's his girlfriend, and warns Ataru to stay away, or he'll have him ''killed''. When Ataru does get his act together and go to Lum's rescue, he finds out ''Mendo wasn't bluffing'', with Mendo deploying his private army, complete with rifles, dogs, ''tanks'' and '''attack helicopters''', for the explicit purpose of killing Ataru. Yet, at the episode's end, Ataru, Lum and Mendo are shown palling around as if nothing happened, which a disbelieving in-universe audience lampshades.
** In another {{filler}} episode, Ataru displays no resentment towards his friends for [[{{gaslighting}} nearly driving him mad]] by faking their deaths in an elaborate scheme to cure him of being a LoveableSexManiac.
** In the final arc, Rupa has been dealing with Carla's {{yandere}} antics for over a decade, antics tht include years of consistently trying to shoot him, bludgeon him, and blow him up. He even calls her out that he doesn't like her ''because'' she has been attacking him for all these years. On the fifth day of the ten-day tag game that will decide the fate of Ataru and Lum's relationship, Rupa '''proposes''' to Carla and proclaims he's always truly loved her, sweeping her years of viciously violent attacks under the rug in a crowning example of DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale.
