* This happens a lot in Manga/TokyoDuel. Despite how bloody the fights can get, the fighters will usually find common ground to bond over, or develop [[WorthyOpponent mutual respect for each other.]] Best shown in chapter 59 where most of the fighters, both winners and losers alike, can be seen intermingling with each other, with no signs of bad blood among them.

** Literally everyone in the entire first two seasons of ''Anime/YuGiOhGoRush'', how extreme do they go with this you ask? Picture this, in an arc climax late in season 2, save for the current villain, everyone Yudias and co ever dueled all hold hands in a huge literal circle of friendship to support each other in the climactic duel. This includes all the previous antagonistic characters. Then once the duel is over the villain has an AlasPoorVillain moment as Yudias is sad for being unable to save him then in the climax of the next arc, he temporarily returns to help Yudias thanks to Monster Reborn.

* ''Manga/FlameOfRecca'' is notorious for this, particularly during the TournamentArc. People who were trying to kill Team Hokage just hours ago are suddenly eating snacks, playing videogames, and sharing stories with our heroes in their hotel room. And one of them creates a fan club for Fuko.

* This trope is part of the bread and butter of ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka''. It's his teaching style.
** In the prequel manga ''Manga/BadCompany'', this is how Onizuka and Ryuji became friends in the first place.
* ''Anime/{{Grenadier}}'' goes ''slightly'' overboard with this trope. In one episode we see the main characters beat a gang of bloodthirsty thieves with a known murderer as their boss, and the evil mechanic genius that helps them. Next episode, the whole ex-criminal gang is helping repair the damage they've done, and the boss (who has in the past killed the innocent family of a child over petty extortion) serves as benevolent comic relief. The evil genius is helping with defense, and is incredibly happy over being complimented for his work.
** The damage they had done was to a place called "The Pleasure Palace". While the insta-redemption might be a bit "Huh?"-worthy, it's honestly not that odd for a bunch of guys who have just had some sense beaten into them to realize "Hey, helping out a lot of really hot women works out a lot better than threatening them!"

** The first real friend that Jonathan Joestar makes is Robert E. O. Speedwagon, who tried to mug him. Jonathan even managed to earn Dio Brando's respect and admiration after destroying the latter's body. Dio even berates one of his minions for mocking Jonathan. Too bad Dio took it to {{Yandere}} levels, [[spoiler:to the point of killing Jonathan and claiming his body for himself]].
** Jonathan's grandson in part 2, Joseph becomes VitriolicBestBuds with Caesar Zeppeli after a brief bout. Joseph later earns Wammu's [[WorthyOpponent unyielding respect]] after fatally defeating him in battle.
** In part 3, Joseph's grandson Jotaro defeats Kakyoin and soon after, Avdol defeats Polnareff, with both joining the group after Jotaro uses his Stand to free them from Dio's mind control.
** This is especially prevalent in Part 4 -- nearly all of Josuke's large group of friends are people who tried to kill him the first time they met. Out of all the Jojos, Josuke is most dedicated to ThouShallNotKill and prefers to befriend his opponents, with only a few being [[KnightOfCerebus just too evil for redemption.]]
** Dio and Jonathan's son ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]) Giorno pulls this on Bruno Bucciarati, a Mafioso who was sent to kill him. He even talks Bucciarati into rebelling against TheDon in order to shut down the gang's drug trade.
** In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean'', after Jolyne defeats her cellmate [[StarterVillain Gwess]] she [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership shows significantly more respect towards her]] but Jolyne doesn't particularly consider her a friend. Played straight with Foo Fighters, who Jolyne [[SaveTheVillain spares the life of after their fight]] leading to it swearing loyalty to her and joining her inner circle. While both had body counts of innocent people prior to their reforms, the difference is that Jolyne is able to forgive F.F. since she's a non-human who didn't understand good and evil and was being manipulated by the BigBad.
