* ''Anime/CodeGeass R2'' ends with [[spoiler:Emperor Lelouch cultivating a ZeroPercentApprovalRating, so that all of the hatred previously caused by international conflict will instead be focused on him, and arranges for himself to be publicly assassinated, taking all the hatred with him in death. Only a very few people knew about this plan, and history will always regard him as a tyrant, perhaps even worse than we consider Hitler today]].

* At the end of ''Film/SpiderMan1'' Peter Parker lets his best friend Harry Osborn blame him (as Spider-Man) for murdering Harry's father Norman, because the alternative would be to reveal that Norman had become the homicidal maniac Green Goblin and got himself killed while fighting Spider-Man.

* ''Manga/RedRiver1995'': This is what [[spoiler:Yuri's LadyInWaiting Ursula]] turns themself into. [[spoiler:When Yuri is framed by Queen Nakia for the death of King Arnuwanda, Ursula says that she murdered the King and allows herself to be hanged in Yuri's place since she's sure that Yuri will be able to bring peace to Hattusa and take Nakia down. Sometime later, the real killer (Nakia's {{Dragon}} Urhi) confesses and then commits suicide, so Ursula is exonerated post-mortem; soon afterwards, Yuri becomes the Tawananna aka the Queen.]]

* ''VideoGame/VermintideII'' reveals that Bardin's father and uncle were in a mine collapse -- the father saved other miners at the cost of his life; the uncle took the Slayer's Vow to [[HonorableWarriorsDeath seek atonement in death]]. Few know that the father's foolishness caused the collapse -- the uncle [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead wouldn't ruin his legacy]] by making the truth known.
-->'''Sienna:''' And your uncle took the blame?\\
'''Bardin:''' Took the burden for his brother, who died a hero getting other miners to safety.
