* ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' is a rare Toku example [[note]] Tokus generally tell stories that depict BlackAndWhiteMorality[[/note]]. [[TheHero Shinji Kido/Ryuki]] and [[FortuneTeller Tezuka Miyuki/Raia]] are unambiguously good, if not flawed in their reluctance to fight against the other Riders. While [[TheRival Ren Akiyama/Knight]] and [[AmoralAttorney Shuichi Kitaoka/Zolda]] are both portrayed sympathetically and are more often than not Shinji's allies, they're still complicit in the Rider War's continuation, making them land mostly in the grey territory. Most of the other Riders such as [[AxCrazy Takeshi Asakura/Ouja]] and [[TheSociopath Satoru Toujou/Tiger]] fall into the evil category, and even [[BigBad Shiro Kanzaki]] can be argued to be within a very dark shade of grey.
** Fellow DeadlyGame themed season, ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'', follows suit. Paragons, anti-heroes, sympathetic villains, neutral mediators and unrepentant sadists are all present in the Desire Grand Prix. Several of the important characters even get to slide up and down the spectrum as events unfold.

* ''Literature/ChillinInAnotherWorldWithLevelTwoCheatPowers'': Broadly, the opposing factions are the human races and the demonic races, defined by whether they produce malicium or not. Both sides have people of all sorts where there are bad rulers and tyrants like King Klyrode for the humans and Yuigarde for the demons, far better rulers like the First Princess for the humans and Gholl for the demons, their subordinates who are good, evil, and everywhere in-between, ranging from only fighting each other out of duty to wanting to continue the fight out of sheer hatred for the opposing side.

* ''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'': The BigBad of the movie is a callous EgomaniacHunter who sees other individuals as [[SmugSuper inferior to himself, with him even calling one of the characters as unworthy of his rank]], and his is the most loyal servant of the Cybertronian version of {{Satan}} himself, with him allowing his master to [[spoiler: destroy a planet after slaughtering a individual, so that he can keep going with his planet-annihiliating crusade]]. The heroes range from wise, caring, and noble, as in the case of the Maximals, to being disrespectful and acting like complete [[Jerkass jerkasses]] towards each other, ''especially'' in the case with both Optimus Prime and Noah Diaz, two individuals who are more interested in their own [[ItsAllAboutMe personal gain]] (for Noah, it's to find a way [[OnlyInItForTheMoney to make money to help provide for his family and to pay off his brother's medical bills]] and for Optimus Prime, it's gaining the Transwarp Key to get back to Cybertron and reclaim it from the Decepticons, rather than thinking about others and saving the world from total disaster, and they spend a good chunk of the movie fighting with each other. Yes, the main human character of the film, Noah, gradually undergoes CharacterDevelopment and becomes a real hero in the end (and gets [[KarmicJackpot rewarded for it]]), but he still manages to get away from the police he ran from at the beginning of the movie as a legitimate KarmaHoudini.

* ''Literature/ChillinInAnotherWorldWithLevelTwoCheatPowers'': Broadly, the opposing factions are the human races and the demonic races, defined by whether they produce malicium or not. Both sides have people of all sorts where there are bad rulers and tyrants like King Klyrode for the humans and Yuigarde for the demons, far better rulers like the First Princess for the humans and Gholl for the humans, their subordinates who are good, evil, and everywhere in-between, ranging from only fighting each other out of duty to wanting to continue the fight out of sheer hatred for the opposing side.

* ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape'' Trilogy has recurring themes including HiddenDepths and WhatYouAreInTheDark, and most characters tend to be morally complex individuals. While there are few clearly good people ([[spoiler:Seven, Luna, Diana]]) and few clearly bad people ([[spoiler:Hongou, Dio]]), almost everyone is a different shade of grey with motivations ranging from "save everyone" to "save people I care about" to "save myself" with a few people with higher goals thrown in for good measure, as well as varying degrees of ruthlessness and moral standards in pursuing those goals. Even the same character can be morally different depending on the situation and player's choices.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': The series began as a group of kids training to be hunters who specialize in killing Grim, an AlwaysChaoticEvil race who prey on humans and Faunus. However as the series goes on you are shown other organizations with their own motive and reason to fight, and even among the heroes each one has different motives to solve the same problem and tend to have trouble trusting each other.
