8	{{Token Good Teammate}}s in AnimeAndManga.
9	----
10
11	* Wave, and to a lesser extent Run from ''Manga/AkameGaKill''. Wave especially could write the book on this, as he's essentially the TokenGoodTeammate of TheEmpire as a whole and in some ways is even more heroic than the ''heroes'' themselves. Even [[TheHero Tatsumi]] notes he's not evil and actually ''moral'', something [[PsychoForHire rather lacking among the Empire's troops]]. [[spoiler:Wave eventually defects from the Empire [[TheCaretaker in order to take care of Kurome]]]].
12	* ''Anime/{{Albegas}}'': The Dellingers are a faction of fascistic aliens that want to colonize the Earth and frequently send malicious attacks on the humans, but Julia is a sweet girl who doesn't share their bigotry and views the Earthlings as equals. She even pursues a romance with one of the pilots of Albegas, Tetsuya....and [[spoiler: her death]] enrages both him and her father, General Dally. Her father also counts as after [[spoiler: her passing, he was plagyed by {{Hallucinations}} of Julia and believed it was her spirit guiding him He would defect from the Dellingers, and died after saving Hotaru from being held hostage]].
13	* Rock to the ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' Company, [[spoiler:at least at first.]] [[WideEyedIdealist Rotton the Wizard]] to [[DragonLady Shenhua]] and [[TheButcher Sawyer]].
14	* Coyote Starrk and Tier Harribel of the Espada in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' could count. While for the most part, the Espada's members are arrogant, violent, and thoroughly evil followers of [[BigBad Aizen]], Starrk and Harribel are both {{Martial Pacifist}}s that don't like fighting but believe in TrueCompanions and ThePowerOfFriendship.
15	** Coyote Starrk ends up being a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] as his fight with Shunsui Kyoraku shows that even though he was a noble person, he was still fighting on the wrong side. Nevertheless, Shunsui makes a point to say that [[BlackAndGrayMorality he's not in the right for fighting Starrk, either]].
16	** Also, Riruka Dokugamine, the only one in Xcution who doesn't want [[spoiler:Ichigo's powers]] and tries to reject it. It helps that she actually ''befriended'' Ichigo and Orihime genuinely.
17	* As revealed eventually in the latter stages of ''Manga/Brave10'', UsefulNotes/HattoriHanzo's group seemingly consists of people who are only in for simple megalomania and conquering the world. The only exception is [[spoiler:Anastasia, just fresh [[FaceHeelTurn after betraying the Braves]], as her motive of serving Hanzo was only [[NotInThisForYourRevolution to reclaim her family heirloom that Hanzo held]]. Despite being an NominalHero (AntiHero subtype) herself.]]
18	* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
19	** Acqua of the Back, the only truly noble member of God's Right Seat, who genuinely wants to help and protect the world. The other members are corrupt and/or have secret agendas.
20	** Misaka is the only one out of the known Level 5s who is considered publicly presentable and becomes something of a mascot. Accelerator and Kakine are antisocial murderers. Mugino appears normal but not when she gets angry. Misaki is paranoid and tends to abuse her power. Gunha is convinced he is a superhero. The remaining Level 5 apparently doesn't appear in public.
21	* ''Franchise/CodeGeass:''
22	** Euphemia li Britannia for the Britannian royalty, being a saint compared to the others and accepts the Japanese as equals. [[spoiler:[[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth It doesn't end well for her, sadly]]]].
23	** Of the Britannian military, General Andreas Darlton fits the bill, being AFatherToHisMen who also views the Japanese as equals. [[spoiler:[[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth He also meets a tragic end]]]].
24	** [[spoiler:In ''R2'', it's Nunnally who falls into this trope]].
25	* Both Seiko and Chisa fill this role for the Radicals in ''Anime/Danganronpa3'' [[spoiler:though it was revealed that the latter was a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of this trope due to her being a Remnant of Despair [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretending to be a]] NiceGirl.]]
26	* ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'':
27	** Gurney Halleck initially opposed Kazuya, but after seeing his code of honour in battle (and how it resonated with his own), he was touched and admitted to Richter that he could see why Erika found him so appealing. Gurney was sentenced to execution for praising him, but Erika and Margarete helped him escape.
28	** Balbas. While [[ConqueringAlienPrince Admiral Richter]] and [[AlphaBitch General Raiza]] are both gleeful sadists that take joy in killing humans, but he is nicer and more humble. He treats Erika with care after she was rescued from Earth (in contrast, Richter and Raiza screamed at her angrily and took it as a personal humiliation). [[spoiler: He also later defects to help Kazuya and dies protecting him]].
29	--->[[spoiler:'''Balbas:''' Remember, the fate of a Billion Balmites is in your hands now.]]
30	* ''Anime/DaphneInTheBrilliantBlue'':
31	** There is Maia, who is kind to ''everyone'', even her kidnappers. Thus she is a contrast to [[MoreDakka gun obbessed]] Gloria, [[DestructiveSavior property damage causing]] Yu, and [[ManipulativeBitch ruthless]] Rena.
32	** Before Maia joined, Shizuka might count since she doesn't cause the same damage as the above. However, she never has a problem with what they do, either.
33	* In ''Manga/DeathNote'', Rem on Team Kira is about as nice and morally pure as [[BlackAndGreyMorality anyone on that side gets]].
34	* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'':
35	** ''Anime/DigimonTamers'': Antylamon of the Devas. Where the other eleven Devas despise humans and attempt to kill or capture them, Antylamon, though initially loyal to Zhuqiaomon, is never aggressive to [[spoiler:Suzie]], the first human she meets, at worst telling her to leave, and quickly becomes friends with her, to the point of not only defending her from Makuramon when he tries to capture her, but even [[spoiler: becoming her partner]].
36	** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'': Subverted with [[spoiler: Apollomon]] for the Dark Generals, as the true Dark General is [[spoiler: his dark side, Apollomon Whispered, which acts as a separate entity from him.]] However, Olegmon is noticeably less evil than the other Dark Generals, which Mikey takes note of and, [[spoiler: during a confrontation with the revived Dark Generals, convinces him to [[HeelFaceTurn switch sides]].]]
37	* ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': Out of the main characters, Shizuka is the only constantly sweet and nice person (she has her BerserkButton though). Doraemon is a DeadpanSnarker and can be quite moody and stubborn, and the other boys are sort of jerks.
38	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
39	** Android 16 from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', unlike his two buddies who regularly cause destruction as they slowly work towards their mission of killing Goku (to say nothing of [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope their future selves]]), is ''strictly'' in it to kill Goku and only for the sole reason of [[PunchClockVillain he's been programmed to]]. Otherwise he's a NatureLover who sits quietly, is even friendly towards the Z Fighters, and is probably more kind and pacifistic than even most of the ''good guys''. [[spoiler:So much so that he actually [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming grows beyond his programming]] and targets Cell instead of Goku in order to defend the Earth and its life from an OmnicidalManiac]]. [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary materials]] explain that 16 was modeled after Dr. Gero's late son and intently programmed to be a non-violent and gentle soul because [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Gero couldn't bear the idea of the android dying in combat]].
40	** Gine, Bardock’s wife and Goku and Raditz’s mother was this for Bardock’s Squad as revealed in ''Dragon Ball Minus''-''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' as well as supplementary materials. While the rest of the team [[EqualOpportunityEvil including fellow female Saiyan]] Fasha had absolutely no qualms about taking over entire planets and killing entire races off for King Cold as [[PunchClockVillain Punch Clock Villains]], Gine however being gentle-hearted like her youngest son ''did hate it'' and her reluctance towards violence and killing led to her getting captured and needing to be saved by Bardock repeatedly. She eventually quit the squad and became a meat worker on Planet Vegeta instead. Spin-off media like ''VideoGame/DragonBallFusions'' show that Gine is totally willingly to help others when the circumstances allow it, displaying a great amount of altruism for a Saiyan.
41	** The Shadow Dragons in the last arc of ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' are spawned from the negative energy of the Dragon Ball wishes throughout the series. Sixinglong/Nouva Shenron, being spawned from the only truly evil wish, ends up being a MartialPacifist NobleDemon who believes in Honorable Duels, and goes as far as to put off his fight with Goku when he's [[WorfHadTheFlu temporarily blinded.]] Also significant is that he was created from the 4-Star Dragon Ball, the one that [[TheHero Goku]] held onto for much of his childhood and of which he attaches great sentimental value to -- Goku's desire to always fight fairly and treat his opponents with the utmost respect rubbed off on the corresponding Shadow Dragon.
42	* ''Manga/Eyeshield21'':
43	** [[EmotionlessGirl Maria]] of the [[OpposingSportsTeam Hakushuu Dinosaurs]] is this to [[ManipulativeBastard Marco]], [[TheJuggernaut Gaou]], [[InLoveWithYourCarnage Kisaragi]], and [[DirtyCoward Tengu]]. She actually tries to slip information to other teams in the interests of preventing casualties. Unfortunately for her, Marco's drive to win ([[LoveMakesYouEvil in order to impress her, might we add]]) outweighs anything she might try to do.
44	** NiceGuy Panther of the Pentagram, where he plays alongside showboat Bud Walker, DumbMuscle Tatanka, JerkJock Clifford, and the thoroughly monstrous [[TheJuggernaut Mr. Don]].
45	* Though everyone from the Sabertooth guild in ''Manga/FairyTail'' is cocky, Rogue is the only one to actually voice his distaste at how they humiliated and expelled one of their members over a single loss, and not even cracking a smile during Minerva's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Lucy. It's an incredibly stark contrast with his close companion Sting's amusement over the poor girl's weakness, and laughing out loud while Lucy's was tortured. [[spoiler:After Master Gienma and Minerva, the two evil members of the guild, left Sabertooth and Sting took over the master position, the guild loses its {{Jerkass}} attitude, but Rogue has the potential to become evil like his future self.]]
46	* ''Anime/FutureRobotDaltanious'':
47	** The Heliosian Generals from the Catine arc all initially appeared friendly to Kento, until they were informed of a rumour that his father, [[spoiler: Prince Harlin]], was a clone and General Kloppen is the real Heliosian Prince. Enraged, the Generals show their true colours as a bunch of racist bigots and start spewing abuse at Kento, with one of them even ''spitting'' at him. They then opt to take the side of the GalacticConqueror Zaal Empire. The only one of them to call out their behaviour and remain on Kento's side is Gascon.
48	** [[spoiler: Prince Harlin is this to the Heliosians after the AwfulTruth of the Helios Empire is revealed, being the only reigning monarch to put an end to it's anti-clone discrimination]].
49	* Mikiya Kokutou from ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'' is a really decent guy and a devout Zen Buddhist. The people he hangs around with are... neutral at best. He comments on how he'll just have to share the karma of Shiki's sins to be with her. Miraculously, he does this without sounding like a jackass.
50	* To some degree Togusa in ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' counts. The rest of Section 9 is fighting terrorism and organized crime, and government corruption at times, and are devoted to protecting the citizen from major threats. However, Togusa is the only one who would risk the trouble of apprehending armed criminals alive and see that they are properly tried. Everyone else [[CombatPragmatist strikes first and starts looking for any survivors]] that can be questioned after the dust has settled.
51	* In ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', [[spoiler: Sasaki]] turns out to be the only decent person in the [[EvilCounterpart Anti-SOS Brigade]]. [[spoiler: She even joins up with Kyon to stop her nominal teammates.]]
52	** That is, until [[spoiler: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Kyouko]]]] pulls a HeelFaceTurn.
53	* Kitty Shearer of ''Anime/HelloSandybelle'' is a terrible RichBitch with parents that never say no to her whims, but when her father hears out Marc's dream of wanting to be a painter (instead of being married to his daughter), he understands and even encourages him to pursue it.
54	* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'':
55	** Seras Victoria, FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire, is the only character with a fully functional moral compass. [[WordOfGod Kouta Hirano]] lampshaded this in an interview saying Seras is the "light that stands out from the darkness".
56	** ''Anderson'' plays this role for the Vatican side- he may love fighting monsters, including [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Seras]], but he does stick to his sense of right and wrong even as his faction reaches new lows -- [[spoiler:culminating in his destruction of Maxwell's anti-zombie shelter when he realizes the latter has gone around the bend.]]
57	** Also, The Captain is this for Millennium.
58	* Kisui from ''Manga/{{Kingdom}}'' -- in a ''seinen'' about the Warring States Era, filled with [[BlackandGrayMorality morally ambiguous warmongers]], he is a chivalrous, caring general who puts his people first, and personally takes the time to meet and care for them. He is also a general of the [[ArchEnemy Zhao]]. His good heart ends up [[spoiler:costing him a major battle.]]
59	* Dieci of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Numbers Cyborgs]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', who was the only one amongst them who questioned the rightness of their terrorist actions prior to their arrest (ironically, she ended up having one of the longest sentences among the ones who had a HeelFaceTurn). Resident SmugSnake Quattro, naturally, looks down at her and sees her conscience and empathy for others as a weakness.
60	* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': Kinugawa is the ''only'' one who [[VillainousFriendship actually cares about his so-called "friends"]], [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes becoming devastated to the point of tears when it becomes obvious that Kowase and Shikimi are dead]]. On the other hand, it becomes a SubvertedTrope when you remember that Kinugawa and his friends are [[GangOfBullies a gang of sociopathic, sadistic bullies]] and realize that [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative he's only "good" when interacting with the rest of the gang]]; to everyone else, he is [[TheBrute a hyper-violent brute]] with a HairTriggerTemper. Finally, the fact that he wants to avenge his dead friends by murdering the one responsible makes him a massive {{hypocrite}} when he was responsible for Kiritaka's death two years prior, [[NeverMyFault something he refuses to take responsibility for]].
61	* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': Garma for Zeon and ''especially'' the [[BigScrewedUpFamily Zabi Family]]. Even if he's a Zeon officer, he's an unambiguously good person who goes out of his way to avoid civilian casualties in battle, and holds no prejudice against Earthnoids whatsoever (his lover is even the daughter of an Earth politician, and he vows to quit the military if his father doesn't approve of their marriage).
62	* ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'': Mouar Pharaoh is easily the most moral of the Titans, and one of the few among them to show any concern at all for civilian lives.
63	* Lunamaria Hawke of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' is an unusual example, given that her teammates aren't [[AntiVillain really]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist villainous]]. Still, Luna maintains her sense of perspective and avoids crossing the line, even when most of her allies generally fail at that.
64	* Masa and Ren are both this to the entire Seto syndicate in ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid''. They're the only two members who support Nagasumi and Sun's engagement and don't actively try to kill the former on a regular basis.
65	* Gau Meguro of ''Manga/NabariNoOu'' stands out amongst the Kairoshuu for not being malicious or screwed up. His teammates consist of Raikou, guilty about the hand he had in his family's death, Yukimi, an aggressive DeadpanSnarker, and Yoite, a quiet DeathSeeker. He believes the Shinrabanshou can be used for genuine good. [[spoiler:He ends up TakingTheBullet, causing Raikou to begin a HeelFaceTurn as does the others.]]
66	* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
67	** Jugo qualifies as this [[JekyllAndHyde most of the time.]] While his SuperpoweredEvilSide has allegedly caused a massive amount of destruction in the past, Jugo's dominant personality is a calm, level-headed and non-violent man who [[IJustWantToBeNormal would rather not have the incredible superpowers that drive him insane from time to time.]] He acts as the Token Good Teammate given that his friends are: Suigetsu, a BloodKnight SerialKiller; Karin, a {{Yandere}} scientist and willing former servant of Orochimaru, and [[RivalTurnedEvil Sasuke]].
68	** Tobi seemed like this at first -- a complete {{Cloudcuckoolander}} even next to MadArtist Deidara, he was at least as interested in having dango with his partner as being evil. [[spoiler:[[InvertedTrope Then the entire thing]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity turned out to be an act]]]].
69	-->'''Kisame:''' Don't get me wrong, I liked Tobi. He managed to lighten the mood of this rather gloomy organization.
70	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
71	** We have Hachi, who was the least cruel out of Arlong's pirates. Unlike the others, he didn't seem to hate humans, and merely followed went along with the Arlong Pirates because they were his friends. [[spoiler:He would in fact become an ally to the Straw Hats later.]]
72	** Though later chapters would show more good (or at least not corrupt, an arrogant {{Jerkass}} or a fanatical KnightTemplar) Marines, Smoker and his partner Tashigi are the very first named Marines to be depicted as such in almost 100 chapters.
73	** From Crocodile's Baroque Works, Miss All-Sunday/Nico Robin was a DragonWithAnAgenda who was more-or-less GoodAllAlong, and after Baroque Works crumbles, she joins the Straw Hats. Similarly, Mr. 2/Bon Clay was at worst a PunchClockVillain and happily becomes an ally of the Straw Hats due to them believing in the power of friendship as strongly as he does.
74	** Jinbe of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, being the only one of the original seven that isn't cruel, [[AxCrazy out of his mind]], [[JerkAss a prick]], or [[TrueNeutral not caring]] about anyone, [[spoiler:aside from Kuma, who turns out to be a GoodAllAlong StealthMentor to the Straw Hats]]. Eventually, Boa Hancock would [[TookALevelInKindness become a decent person]], and taking the four later appointees to the Warlords into account, Trafalgar Law proved to be an UnscrupulousHero, but with the other seven being at least some flavor of terrible, the organization is still skewed heavily in favor of the dark side.
75	** While not exactly a "team" in a traditional sense, for the Four Emperors it's Shanks [[spoiler:ever since Whitebeard's death.]]
76	** The Nefertari family turns out to be this among the [[AristocratsAreEvil Celestial Dragons]] as they were the only family to not [[AGodAmI proclaim themselves to be gods]] after founding the World Government.
77	*** So was Saint Homing and his wife, who are the only known kind nobles seen so far. [[spoiler: His son, Doflamingo doesn't share the same sentiments, though his other son, Rocinante, did.]]
78	*** Donquixote Mjosgard, a relative of Homing, eventually grew into becoming this after getting saved on Fishman Island. It's even noted by other Celestial Dragons he doesn't use slaves.
79	** From the Donquixote Family, [[NinjaMaid Baby 5]] was the least cruel member, who really only fought for Doflamingo because of her [[ExtremeDoormat chronic desire to be needed by someone]] (something that the rest of the Family ''encouraged'' rather than corrected because it made her useful). [[spoiler:She later finds out that her comrades only care for her because she's convenient, and when her opponent (one of Luffy's allies) promises to marry her and treat her with respect, [[HighHeelFaceTurn she turns against the Donquixote Family]] and is the only member who is not arrested, even celebrating their defeat together with Luffy and the rest of his allies]].
80	** Reiju is the only Vinsmoke and Gemma 66 commander who is capable of empathy and the only one of [[spoiler: Sanji]]'s siblings who treats the latter with some form of kindness. Later on, we see she genuinely cares for [[spoiler: Sanji]] and disapproves of their other siblings, even if circumstances don't let her say it out right.
81	** Among Big Mom’s children, while not all of them are as sociopathic as Big Mom herself, most of them are very much not good people. Three exceptions exist: DefectorFromDecadence Charlotte Lola, her twin Charlotte Chiffon, and Charlotte Praline of the Sun Pirates. [[spoiler:Eventually, with her HeelFaceTurn, Charlotte Pudding brings the number of heroic Charlotte children up to four.]]
82	** There’s a general lack of decent members of the Beast Pirates, with even the ones who have redeeming qualities ultimately having morality in the hard negatives. The closest thing to an exception is Speed; while Tama had to use her Devil Fruit to make Speed and many other Beast Pirates turn against Kaido, Speed makes it clear that she believes GoodFeelsGood and intends to remain on the side of the angels once Tama’s ability wears off.
83	** [[spoiler:It turns out Whitebeard was this for his original crew the Rocks Pirates. For reference, this crew besides Whitebeard consisted of well established AxCrazy psychos such as: Shiki, Big Mom, Kaido and their captain Rocks D. Xebec; ArchEnemy of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger himself!]]
84	** Kaku of [=CP9=] is the only member to not go out of his way to antagonize the Straw Hats, even going as far as to [[GracefulLoser voluntarily give up his key after being defeated by Zoro]]. He's also the only one of the four infiltrators to express remorse over betraying Galley-La and the people of Water 7. Later on in the Egghead arc, he takes a moment to try to comfort [[spoiler: Sentomaru]] after they're seriously injured by Lucci, one of Kaku's own TrueCompanions.
85	** Of the Admirals, Akainu is a sociopathic KnightTemplar, Ryokugyu even more so, Kizaru is totally obedient to the World Government because he simply doesn’t care about the atrocities they commit, Aokiji seems to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure at first but eventually proves to be a ''far'' worse person than he initially appeared to be, and while Sengoku is well aware of the Government’s corruption, he hasn’t really tried to fight it much, and hasn’t tried to find alternatives to the atrocities he was ordered to commit. Admiral Fujitora is the only one who can be truly and unequivocally described as a decent man.
86	* Ainz Ooal Gown, Satoru Suzuki/Lord Momonga's old guild in ''Literature/Overlord2012'' is shown to be made almost entirely of evil monsters with the exception of "Touch Me" who decided to be a KnightInShiningArmor who believed in honor and justice.[[note]] Technically, they were all just friends role playing in an MMO, until our protagonist got sucked into a real magical world.[[/note]]
87	** Among Momonga's subordinates, we have his BattleButler and leader of his personnel team of {{ninja maid}}s Sebas Tian, who unlike the other more evil guardian's at Nazarick, has been shown willing to give a helping hand to those weaker than himself and is one of the few in Nazarick that is accepting of humans.
88	** Also of note; Cocytus is by far the least evil of Nazarick's floor guardians and often praises the courage and skill of his opponents, even if they're significantly weaker than he is.
89	* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': TheRival Katsuya, a {{Satire}} of the StockShonenHero, has a BattleHarem of other PrivateMilitaryContractors in Drankam who are in love with him. While Katsuya is TheResenter, Lilina is {{Jerkass}} with a HairTriggerTemper, and Airi is a selfish and bitter {{Kuudere}}, Yumina is a NiceGirl and the one who most tries to bridge the divide between them all and Akira.
90	* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Heracles]] from ''Manga/RecordOfRagnarok'' is this among the gods. He may be fighting on the gods side of Ragnarok, but unlike the other representatives, who, while AffablyEvil at best, are all seemingly [[JerkassGods completely fine with wiping out humanity]], Heracles is a genuinely heroic character who openly opposes humanity's extinction despite his allegiance. Fittingly, his opponent is the TokenEvilTeammate of the humans, UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
91	* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'': Although he has his own flaws, Ren is the most heroic and least problematic out of the Three Cardinal Heroes in comparison to Motoyasu's dimwitted lecherousness and Itsuki's overbearing egomania. Unlike them, he actually gives Naofumi, who has been severely mistreated and wrongly accused several times by the heroes and the capital who summoned them, the benefit of the doubt and offers sympathy, feels incredibly guilty over the mistakes that Naofumi has to correct and doesn't take advantage of his party instead of making them his own harem or fanatic [[YesMan Yes-Men]]. However, that doesn't stop him from falling to ToxicFriendInfluence and making the same LethallyStupid decisions as Motoyasu and Itsuki did.
92	* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Dororo is less interested in taking over Earth and more interested in [[GreenAesop protecting its environment]]. Far more obvious in the manga, and [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] several times.
93	* In an excellent example of having both a Token Good Teammate and a Token Evil Teammate on the same team, the BlackAndGrayMorality world of ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' has Amelia and Xellos respectively. The rest of the team tend to be selfish jerks (especially Lina), but Xellos admits to being evil and tags along because a.) he's under orders to, and b.) it's just fun. Amelia, on the other hand, is WrongGenreSavvy and thinks she's in a MagicalGirl show, even going so far as to trying to cure Xellos of being evil through the power of love. The rest of the team swings back and forth along the spectrum of good vs evil.
94	* Mametchi from ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'' is the only member of the main trio to not consistently be an {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}.
95	* ''Anime/TweenyWitches'': Sigma's father was the only decent member of the warlocks affiliated with Grande. As Grande's HonestAdvisor, he advised Grande against using dark magic, resulting in his tragic death at Grande's hands.
96	* Psyche (The Goddess of Soul) from Creator/OsamuTezuka's ''Manga/{{Unico}}'' is the only goddess who genuinely loves Unico and serves as his owner. Compared to [[JerkassGods the other gods]] (especially Venus) who all grew to dislike the unicorn due to spreading love and kindness to everybody he encounters. The gods eventually summon The West Wind to separate Unico from Psyche and his mother to a far away place. Psyche makes a non-speaking cameo appearance in the 1979 pilot ''Anime/UnicoBlackCloudAndWhiteFeather'' by [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio Animation]].
97	* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': While all of Dartz's elite minions have [[FreudianExcuse tragic backstories]] that explain their StartOfDarkness, Raphael is distinct in that he seems to genuinely believe that Dartz is ''saving'' the world. He has so much respect for and connection to his cards that he successfully uses ''[[MagicPokerEquation the Heart of the Cards]]'' against Yami Yugi. He also successfully fights the influence of the Orichalcos, something only [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Mai]] had previously [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight done]] (with ThePowerOfLove) and subsequently rescues Mai and Valon's comatose bodies from an earthquake. In fact, it's outright stated that the Orichalcos could not take his soul because he had no evil in his heart.
98	* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'':
99	** Kurama in an early arc. Not surprisingly, he does a HeelFaceTurn, but unexpectedly, so does [[DefeatMeansFriendship Hiei]] (who then becomes the TokenEvilTeammate for the good guys.)
100	** As the show and its characters become [[GreyAndGreyMorality more morally ambiguous]], Kuwabara becomes this for the main four.
