** In the first and second games, the "Ultimate Despair" group is portrayed as a CultOfPersonality who were seduced by Junko's philosophy and sought to indulge and spread it by their own decision. However, ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'' instead specifies that Junko created new members of Ultimate Despair by using an Ultimate-level {{Brainwashing}} technique (a video filled with subliminal messages that near-instantly brainwashed someone against their will), most notably absolving [[spoiler:(almost) the entire cast of Danganronpa 2]].

* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': From the third to fourth seasons, [[TheEvilPrince Prince Lotor]] is depicted as a NobleDemon who, while cold and often ruthless, prefers to take planets with minimal bloodshed, and whose evil paled in comparison to his father Zarkon. The fifth season has Lotor perform a HeelFaceTurn. The show's sixth season then reveals that Lotor [[spoiler:was performing horrific experiments on the surviving Alteans, all the while making their home a tribute to him due to extreme narcissism with his Quintessence-gathering being part of a plan to ''rewrite reality itself'' and wipe out the Galra Empire entirely.]] Thanks to these events, those who loved Lotor or at least respected him are horrified and feel betrayed, and [[spoiler:Shiro even mentions that Quintessence, previously framed as a corruptive source of power, only brings out WhatYouAreInTheDark to drive the point home that Lotor is viler than anyone could have predicted.]] The show then proceeds to re-retcon this in later seasons; while Lotor [[spoiler:is dead]], characters frequently express sympathy for him, and his WellIntentionedExtremist and TragicVillain traits are considerably emphasized.

In the final season of ''Series/YoungSheldon'', we find out that the other woman was his mother, Mary, who was wearing German clothing and a wig and was roleplaying and Sheldon assumed she was another woman since it was in the dark and he couldn't see.
