* ''Manga'/OnePiece'' introduces Smoker to the audience in an interesting way. All marines up to this point are mostly corrupt and some are outright murderous. When Smoker is introduced, a young girl smacks into him and spills her ice cream on his pants. Instead of responding with violence, Smoker comically apologizes for his pants "eating her ice cream" and gives her money to buy more, much to the shock and thanks of her father. Only minutes later in the episode, Smoker absolutely destroys an entire pirate crew in combat, and in subsequent episodes tries to kill Luffy because he's a pirate.

* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'': Dexter has an insatiable need to kill, but his foster father Harry helped him develop a code: he makes a point of only killing other killers, typically those who [[KarmaHoudini slipped through the cracks of the justice system]]. Not only is he setting a wrong right, but the death of an abhorrent criminal is much less likely to be followed up on. Which of these two points motivates Dexter's MO more is discussed more than once.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'': Despite her attempts to destroy the Justice League, Amanda Waller occasionally displays this. She is genuinely angry and horrified when General Eiling launches a kryptonite-lined nuclear missile at an island the League is helping to evacuate. Eiling claims he is taking out Superman and stopping the longtime flow of drug traffickers from the island ("two birds, one stone"), but Waller is stunned that he would be willing to sacrifice so many civilians to do it.
