* In ''Manga/GoblinSlayer'', the Priestess's miracle spells are meant to help people, not to kill them. For the most part, thanks to the Goblin Slayer's [[CombatPragmatist cold pragmatism]], the Priestess is able to skirt around this in [[NotTheIntendedUse how she casts some of her spells]], such as using a barrier spell to prevent goblins from escaping a fire, as that ''[[LoopholeAbuse technically]]'' doesn't count as using her spell to kill: it was the fire that killed the goblins. The line is drawn, however, at using the Purify spell to turn a goblin's blood into water, killing it instantly and painfully: after doing this once, the Priestess's goddess warns her that using Purify in such a manner again is grounds for her magical powers being permanently revoked.

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', most of the main cast members [[{{Shinigami}} who aren't dead]] at least ''try'' to follow this, save for when fighting run-of-the-mill [[TheHeartless Hollows]]. [[TheMedic Inoue Orihime]] not only hasn't harmed anyone seriously since her powers first emerged, but ''can't'' due to her personality. Unfortunately, she tends to believe that this makes her a burden on her friends, despite that [[spoiler:she can ''[[RealityWarper reject reality]]'' to the point where she can heal a corpse with half of their brains blown out. The fact that it was someone who had shown up simply to try and ''torture'' her for no reason other than spite is just icing on the cake]].
** Oddly enough, Ichigo didn't kill a single Arrancar in his invasion of Hueco Mundo, at least not consciously; he let Dordoni and [[BloodKnight Grimmjow]] live, his SuperpoweredEvilSide took out [[NobleDemon Ulquiorra]], and the mooks he cut down were revealed to be fakes generated by another arrancar. This is somewhat jarring when compared with Fake Karakura Town, where both of the Espada's {{Token Good Teammate}}s are cut down without anybody batting an eye ([[spoiler:though one of these, [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the lone female]], she survives]]).

** In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', the Digidestined are afraid of killing Digimon, and avoid it whenever possible (unlike in the first one, when fighting the forces of Etemon, Myotismon, and the Dark Masters). The only exceptions are Control Spire Digimon (MadeOfEvil, destructive by default, and not considered "alive"), Kimeramon (created by the Digimon Emperor/[[spoiler:Ken]]), [=MaloMyotismon=] (pure evil and the main villain behind everything that season), and Airdramon (for [[PlotHole unknown reasons]]). They are forced to kill [=SkullSatamon=], [=LadyDevimon=], and [=MarineDevimon=], and Yolei and Cody are shocked when this happens (though Cody knew they'd have to destroy [=MarineDevimon=]), though TK and Kari reassure them it was the right thing to do.

** Enforced in the TournamentArc[=s=], as one of the rules for the World Martial Arts Tournament is that killing one's opponent is grounds for disqualification. Everyone -- even villains like Piccolo Jr. late in the original ''Dragon Ball'' anime -- abides by this rule. The one time a potential death in the ring is shown, when Videl appears to break her opponent's neck, she is moments away from disqualification when said opponent -- a mook working for and empowered by the wizard Babidi -- un-broke his neck. Even during the Tournament of Power, "No Killing" is one of the rules enforced by the Zen-Ohs, who were otherwise known to bend the rules in favor of RuleOfCool, and who punished the defeated with ''the utter erasure of their universe''.
