Basically this is when one of the good guys [[FaceHeelTurn becomes a villain]] not out of choice, but because they were transformed into one one way or another (this makes it a {{supertrope}} to several tropes as outlined below).

* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', Zenitsu ''almost'' has this happen to him. He was once bitten by a spider which was to go on to mutate him into a mindless demonic human-spider hybrid and a minion of the Older Brother Spider Demon. He was saved by Shinobu and eventually had his shrunken limbs restored to normal. Later in the series, however, actual examples are shown, [[spoiler:first the Upper-1 of the Twelve Kizuki, Kokushibo, is revealed to be a former Demon Slayer of the 1500's, older twin of the legendary Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who betrayed the Corps out of immense jealousy, insecurities and fear of death; then Kaigaku, Zenitsu's former elder colleague in Thunder Breathing, lost a fight to that same Kokushibo and was offered the same path of betrayal, he takes it. In the end, the last tragedy is Tanjiro himself turning into a demon, however, he was forced into it, and everyone alive focused their efforts on curing him then and there before it became an irreversible situation, thankfully Tanjiro is brought back fast enough]].
