History EvenEvilHasStandards / AnimeAndManga

*** Well in his case it's clearly MoralDissonance since he has no problem [[spoiler:[[EyeScream taking the eyes out of corpses]].]]

* The main villain, Dr. Eggman, from ''SonicX'' who once tried to blow up a city of completely innocent people, can't stand torturing victims as shown when he witnesses Dark Oak torturing Chris and Cosmo and he says, "I'm not above evil myself but torturing people is just plain wrong."

* ''{{Bleach}}'': A case can be made for Mayuri Kurotsuchi. When he's first introduced, he's a CompleteMonster with a horrifically sadistic personality, who delights in torturing his victims for research - something to which Uryu Ishida's grandfather fell victim. However, he remains loyal to Soul Society after hearing of Aizen's betrayal, and never considered defecting to his side. Of course, [[spoiler: while he would probably have killed Szaeyel anyway, he became particulary upset when [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his daughter Nemu]] was abducted and practically raped by him to revive himself.]]

* in the light novel of ''{{To Aru Majutsu no Index}}'', Accelerator quotes this quite often when fighting other evil people, then goes to show them "what being a true villain is all about" usually ending with a swift death.

** Ulquiorra calls Nnoitra "disgusting" for toying with the idea of [[spoiler: sexually harrasing or potentially raping Orihime]].

** keep in mint though that, based on what we've seen from giovanni and the rest of Team Rocket, the terrible trio may simply be a lot softer than the rest of the organisation.

** Also, in ZetaGundam the Titans are a brutal elite force that fights the AEUG and commits lots of atrocities while at it, but many of its members are repulsed when it comes to gassing entire colonies.

* In DragonBall, Piccolo decides to aid Goku in fighting Raditz because he wants to TakeOverTheWorld as opposed to Raditz' plan to KillEmAll. This and his time with Piccolo are the impetus for his HeelFaceTurn.

* After Awakening, Priscilla from ''{{Claymore}}'' goes on a voracious eating spree and devours four towns - except for the young girls, which reflects how she became orphaned at a young age after yoma ate her family. Two of her survivors would become claymores Clare and Ophelia. However, they weren't very thankful for Priscilla sparing them.

* In ''{{Pokemon}}'', although they're not evil, Jessie and James are Team Rocket agents - kidnapping Pokemon is part of their MO. They do ''not'' believe in trainers ''hurting'' Pokemon, however, and this is why Jessie, James, and Meowth were appalled by Paul's method of training.

*** Also, when Team Rocket, or at least Meowth, learned about [[CompleteMonster Giovanni planning]] [[MoralEventHorizon to have the cloned pokemon experimented with a high chance of a mortality rate]] if Mewtwo doesn't submit to him, they were legitimately horrified. Also, on that note, Domino may have agreed to allow Giovanni recapture Mewtwo and spearheaded the operation, but when Giovanni was perfectly willing to keep Mewtwo tortured and even willing to have him die quite painfully from the torture, ''she'' felt he crossed the line right there (KickTheDog can only go so far until all PragmaticVillainy is lost after all.)
** A line that was the result of Bowdlerising and NeverSayDie: "The Squirtle Squad play tricks, but they'd never change a girl's natural hair colour." (In the Japanese version, the Zenigame had threatened to execute Kasumi if Satoshi didn't return, not dye her hair purple.)

* In DragonBall, Piccolo decides to aid Goku in fighting Raditz because he wants to TakeOverTheWorld as opposed to Raditz' plan to KillEmAll. This and his time with Piccolo are the impetus for his HeelFaceTurn.

* While Luffy is far from evil, he can be pretty chaotic as a pirate and pretty much does what he wants. During the Impel Down arc, he was willing to ally with several potentially dangerous criminals and former enemies in his quest to save Ace. However, he draws the line at freeing [[CompleteMonster Crocodile]], as even Luffy can't overlook what he's done. [[spoiler: He's freed anyway]].

*** Eggman seems to have a soft spot for characters such as Chris or Tails perhaps because they're the smart, logically inclined inventors of the group and thus [[FridgeBrilliance remind him of himself]]. When Tails has to kill Cosmo in the third season finale, Eggman is the one who talks him through it and reassures him that he knows how difficult it is, but it's this or the end of the universe. While he accepts that it's necessary, he doesn't celebrate killing a child, nor does he celebrate the fact that one of his arch-nemesis's friends is the one who has to do it.

* Kiyotsugu Gowa from GasaRaki is a MadScientist, but he's appalled when he finds out that [[spoiler: his own sister Misuzu is a kai (a person able to synchronize with the mecha of the series) and refuses to tell this to his brother Kazukiyo out of fear of what he'll do to her.]] He also refuses to use a PsychoSerum on test pilots, so another MadScientist does it instead.

** He also in one episode alerts his arch-nemesis, Sonic, that the Metarex are planning to kill him his friends stating that "if anyone is to get revenge on that hedgehog it's going to be me! And through less brutal means!"

* In {{Naruto}}, more than one villain is repulsed by another's actions. In example, when [[spoiler: Kabuto reveals the Edo Tenswei technique that lets him raise a zombie army of powerful ninja while also desecrating their corpses]], we see that [[spoiler: Madara Uchiha]] is repulsed by said strategies.

--> '''Zabuza''':"This is bullshit, I don't want to fight for someone who would stoop this low."

* The main villain, Dr. Eggman, from '''SonicX''' who once tried to blow up a city of completely innocent people, can't stand torturing victims as shown when he witnesses Dark Oak torturing Chris and Cosmo and he says, "I'm not above evil myself but torturing people is just plain wrong."

He also in one episode alerts his arch-nemesis, Sonic, that the Metorex are planing to kill him his friends stating that "if anyone is to get revenge on that hedgehog it's going to be me! And through less brutal means!"
* There is also another example. When Sonic is apparently stuck on earth while his friends are in there world, Tails, an 8 year old, takes on Eggman new space carrier in his plane. Eggman orders his Hench-robots to fire a homing missile which homes in on the plane. When the missle is near to hitting Eggman says to call it back (he only sent it towards the plane to scare Tails) however is told that there is no "call back" button. Eggman is horrified at the thought that he has basicly killed a child. Tails however is saved in the end.
"I'm going to have to live with the thought of killing Tails forever!".

** Despite all Light will do for his plans to succeed, he can't bring himself to write his sister's name in the Death Note. Though, that might have been partly motivated by how his plans would turn out if he did kill her.
