* In one issue of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', Susan "Sue" Storm (aka, the "Invisible Woman") considers leaving the team to become an agent for Nick Fury's SHIELD-agency after feeling increasingly ignored and sidelined by her three male teammates--however, just before she's about leave, Sue sees a series of TV-interviews with the guys, who all feel that Sue's the key their success and that they'd be entirely lost without her (this ultimately convinces Sue to stay with them).

* Komusubi from ''Manga/EyeShield21'' left the team before the Kyoshin Poseidon game, thinking that his height would be too great of a disadvantage. When this happened, the rest of the team, even including the Hah-hah Brothers and Hiruma, became worried and went to go find him. Though outwardly, Hiruma wasn't so much "worried" as "raging furious that Komusubi would [[{{Determinator}} give up so easily]]".

* One episode of ''Manga/SgtFrog'' has his mother visit and embarrass her son with her antics. After Keroro snaps and tells her off, she decides to cut her visit short and return home early.

* In an issue of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', Sue (feeling increasingly ignored and sidelined by her teammates) is on the verge of quitting the team and taking a job as an agent for Nick Fury's SHIELD-agency--''however'', just before she does so, she sees a series of TV interviews with her teammates, where the guys claim that Sue's the key to their success and that they'd entirely lost without her (this ultimately convinces Sue to stay with the team).

* In an issue of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', Sue, feeling increasingly ignored and sidelined by her teammates, is on the verge of quitting the team and becoming a secret agent in Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D organisation. Then she sees a series of TV interviews with her teammates acknowledging that she's the key to their success and that they'd be entirely lost without her, thus convincing her to stay with them.
