** Aside from Kaiba, who never became much more than a JerkWithAHeartOfGold to anyone aside from [[MoralityPet his brother]], the earliest was when Pegasus from the original series allied with the protagonists following his defeat at the hands of Yugi, [[spoiler:and the theft of his Millennium Eye by the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring, a.k.a. Yami Bakura]]. But that Heel Face Turn only happens in the anime; in the manga, he just gets an AlasPoorVillain upon his defeat, when his motives and past are revealed, and shortly afterwards, [[spoiler:Yami Bakura kills Pegasus when he takes his eye.]]

** In the Wano Country arc, during the Onigashima Raid, [[spoiler:X Drake is outed as a [[TheMole spy]] working for an unknown third party ([[FakeDefector the Marines]]) and the Beast Pirates immediately try to kill him. Left with little other choice, he switches sides and asks Luffy to let him join the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, having been told repeatedly and at length by [[{{fanboy}} Koby]] how amazing he is. While most of the Alliance is rightfully suspicious that Drake would so readily betray the Beast Pirates and ask to join them, Luffy accepts his aid without issue, and Drake spends the rest of the arc fighting off the Alliance's enemies in the form of Apoo and later [=CP0=]]].

** Robin played a DarkMistress to HookHand [[HookHand Crocodile]] until doing a HighHeelFaceTurn.



** Several villains experience this as well to varying degrees. Buggy, while still evil, became more caring for his crew after his defeat. Hatchan (one of Arlong's subordinates), Bon Clay, and Mister 3 (of Baroque Works) all showed up again much later to become an ally of the Straw Hats; even the arrogant leader of Baroque Works, Crocodile eventually allies himself to Luffy in his escape from Impel Down, and though dismissing it simply as [[EnemyMine something he's doing because his own convenience]], he ends going out of his way to save Luffy from a certain death in the battle of Marineford. Notably, [[PsychoForHire CP9]] defects from the World Government after their defeat…but post-TimeSkip, we find out that [[spoiler:Rob Lucci, at least, was not only reinstated, but promoted, with his former boss who framed them now a subordinate to him.]]
