* Subverted in the first season of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. Ash refuses to accept the Boulder Badge from Brock because the emergency sprinklers had accidentally gone off during their battle, which [[ElementalRockPaperScissors weakened Brock's Onix]] enough for Pikachu to defeat it. Brock insists that he still lost, however, and gives Ash the badge anyway.

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'', during the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, Cedric tried to call off his capture of the Golden Snitch because [[{{Mind Rape}} Dementors caused Harry to fall off his broom]]. Wood, the Gryffindor Captain, refused, and Harry didn't contest it, however miserable he felt.
** Harry and Cedric then do this back and forth over the Triwizard at the end of [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]. It takes a while since they'd both helped each other out and had just survived a run-in with a GiantSpider through teamwork. They end up taking it together, [[spoiler: leading to the book's real climax.]]

* In the 1980s ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformers Transformers]]'' comic story "Afterdeath!", Optimus Prime and Megatron agree to settle their current dispute by battling inside a virtual reality. The loser will die. Optimus wins, but only by sacrificing some {{NPC}}s. He feels so guilty about this, that he insists on being killed, and hands the victory to Megatron. (Seriously.)

* ''Series/SquidGame'': After Gi-hun wins the titular DeadlyGame (which he only did because [[spoiler:his final opponent- and childhood friend- killed himself]]), he feels so guilty about all the bodies stacked to get the prize money that he only uses it to pay off his debts to {{Loan Shark}}s and help out other people like Sang-woo’s mother, while letting the rest of it sit in the bank. This confuses the bank in question, who ask him why he never touches his money.
