* Cera in the first ''TheLandBeforeTime'' movie. Littlefoot's mother saves her and Littlefoot from being eaten by Sharptooth. Even after this she ''remains'' racist against "longnecks", even going so far as to call Littlefoot's mother stupid.

* [[spoiler: Lotso]] in ''ToyStory 3''. [[spoiler:Basically, Woody and Buzz risk their lives to save him near the end, then when he has a chance to save them with no risk he blows them off.]]

* An example that's neither villains nor rivals: The {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s ordering around the Black Order in ''[=~D.Gray-Man~=]''. These jerks are supposedly on the hero's side. Yet their reaction to him [[spoiler:saving everyone's asses, hampering the BigBad's ability to make {{mooks}}, and capturing the Ark]] at the end of the Ark Arc is to [[spoiler:put him under surveillance and try him for heresy, despite the fact that it is known, in canon, that if he'd betrayed him he [[BodyHorror wouldn't still be walking around]], let alone now one of their most powerful exorcists.]] Not only that, but they absolutely ''need'' him to continue their war, pushing this into TooDumbToLive territory.

**** Actually, JJJ clearly stated that he was ''jealous'' of Spider-Man, all the way back in the tenth issue.

**** Considering that Hollows/Arrancars/Espada/etc. are born from spirits of the dead that have remained in our world and become increasingly more corrupted, then this counts as [[spoiler: pretty much seeing what Hollows would consider ''an ElritchAbomination at work.'' ]]. Quite the FridgeBrilliance there.

Heroes save people, [[SaveTheVillain even enemies.]] What's more, if a hero saves a [[TheRival rival]] or villain enough times, you'd expect them to change their attitude towards the hero into one of at least grudging respect or having [[NobleDemon honor dictate]] that they [[IWasJustPassingThrough "owe them one".]]

** Early in season 2 Zuko was on the receiving end of this trope in [[VillainEpisode Zuko Alone]]. He comes into an Earth Kingdom town as TheDrifter, stands up to the bullying soldiers oppressing them, and saves the kid who [[HeroWorshipper hero worshiped him]], but because he does the last bit after revealing his identity, the entire town shuns him.

*** Lolly seems to revert from this to {{The Only One allowed to defeat you}} when Orihime is threatened by Yammy. Thus leading to her apparent permanent death.

* In ''{{Naruto}}'' [[spoiler:Sasuke Uchiha]] became this recently. While [[spoiler:attacking the Kage conference, Suigetsu and Jugo]] save his life, as they had against [[spoiler:Killer Bee]] earlier. However, [[spoiler:Sasuke]] leaves them both to die without looking back, collapsing the ceiling on them and the enemies alike. Later on, [[spoiler:Karin heals him back from the brink of death (again, saving his life twice counting Killer Bee and the Kages) and helps Sasuke defeat Danzo. When Danzo takes her hostage, Sasuke aims his chakra sword-thing right through her, considering anyone dumb enough to be taken hostage a burden. She survives both the sword ''and'' Danzo's [[SphereOfDestruction self-destruct jutsu,]] and just as Sasuke is about to [[KillItWithFire kill her with blackfire]], Sakura shows up and claims to want to join them. Sasuke (who even now isn't ''that'' stupid) tells Sakura to kill Karin, who manages to warn Sakura that Sasuke's about to ''chidori'' both of them. It should be noted that as much of a rabid Sasuke fangirl as Karin is, she doesn't take being skewered as well as that chick from ''RurouniKenshin''.]]
** To a lesser extent, Sakura in part 1. Naruto acted very kind to her, cheered her on, and saved her ass on numerous occasions, but she rewards him with a punch in the face or screaming at him like a drill sergeant.

* The ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}''. They can save the world over and over again, and the public of the Marvel universe will still hate and fear them.

** Well, Ba'al has helped the SG-1 team on a couple of occasions against a common enemy, and once he even tried to settle down on Earth and made them the offer that he'd become a good lawful citizen and stay inconspicuous if they left him alone, but they still kept trying to kill him; or to capture him to take him to the Tok'ra to [[StargateContinuum extract the Goa'uld symbiont]]... and then kill it. SoYeah. No rest for the wicked.

* In the ''[[MASHTheSeries M*A*S*H]]'' episode "Of Moose and Men", Hawkeye saves the life of a Colonel who is angered by his unmilitary bearing and lack of discipline. After the operation the closest he can come to thanking Hawkeye is to tell him he's "letting him off the hook" (as a favor to Colonel Potter, not Hawkeye himself) by not throwing the book at him for insubordination.
