* In ''{{Gargoyles}}'', human ally Elisa Masa helps to restore Goliath and the Manhattan Clan's faith and trust in humanity.

* In ''MegamanBattleNetwork 4'', Duo is a sentient asteroid that intends to wipe out earth because its people are wicked (Yes, he is ''attempting to commit genocide'' and we are the wicked ones. There is a reason people don't like 4.). after his fight with Megaman EXE, Duo seems to rethink it.
* ''TheWorldEndsWithYou'': [[spoiler:The Conductor, Kitaniji, was trying to achieve {{Instrumentality}} so that the Composer, Joshua, wouldn't destroy Shibuya. After all, people in Shibuya are self-centered and uncreative. But Neku, former poster child for cutting himself off from society, has learned about ThePowerOfFriendship, so...]]
* ''TalesOfSymphonia: Dawn of the New World'': [[spoiler:Richter's plan, and every evil scheme leading up to it, was to find a way to seal off Niflheim without Ratatosk's help, so he could kill Ratatosk without dooming the world. Because Ratatosk wanted to KillAllHumans (and elves and mixes) because they've been causing problems for mana. But Ratatosk has been posing as Emil the entire time, and he's met Marta and the others, and decided that they're not so bad...]]

<<|MoralityTropes|>>

* Brutally inverted and then subverted in {{House}}. House has a deep faith in the negative attributes of humanity. His favorite phrases are "everybody lies" and "people don't change." Cameron, and later Thirteen, try to prove him wrong whenever possible. However, just about every patient House has lied to him and usually also the patient's family.

* [[DoctorWho The Doctor]] is an...interesting case. He'll occasionally go on a very vehement HumansAreBastards phase, calling them violent, selfish and stupid, and then, something will happen (usually sparked by his companion) that restores his faith in them. After all, there's got to be a ''reason'' he hangs out on Earth so much.

* [[spoiler:The Silvite Elders]] in ''SkiesOfArcadia''.

** The scene is probably the most famous poster child of this trope in classical literature.

** Of course they ''[[FridgeLogic could]]'' just point out that [[HumansAreFlawed people can forgive and love each other despite dishonesty]] rather than become [[HumansAreBastards bitter misanthrope about it]].
** Also, seeing as how he only takes cases other doctors can't figure out, it makes sense that he gets all the cases of people [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption obfuscating the truth about their symptons.]]

* CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory: ''So shines a good deed in a dim world...''

* In the ''TokimekiMemorial'' series, this is the storylines of [[BrokenBird Kaori Yae]] (in ''2'') and [[{{Hikikomori}} Taku Komori]] (in ''Girl's Side 2'') in a nutshell. Thanks to their relationship with their respective games' protagonist, they get to realize that there are trustworthy people out there, and as a result they gradually open themselves to others.

* In {{Gankutsuou}}, when it seems to Albert that [[BreakTheCutie everyone is lying]] [[CrapsackWorld and good people are helpless to do anything]], a letter from [[spoiler: his dead friend]] Franz restores his faith in humanity, and he in turn [[spoiler: restores the BigBad's humanity]].

Bob will come to see that maybe he was wrong about humanity all along (it's very rare for Bob to accept simply that Alice in particular isn't so bad), perhaps performing a HeelFaceTurn or [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrificing himself to save humanity.]]

* Apparently, this is Optimus Prime's reason for never harming humans in [[TransformersFilmSeries Transformers]].
