** [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]]
*** Downplayed, but it's there. When Yami Yugi uses a Penalty Game to shatter his soul in an image of a puzzle while in a coma so that his child self can repair it, his methods are less extreme than what they used to in the manga where he goes out of his way to create deathmatches for Yugi and his friends (but being fair about it), and even ''invokes'' [[KickTheDog a Penalty Game on Mokuba]]. After restoring his soul in Duelist Kingdom, he is extremely reluctant to help Yugi and his friends (especially helping Jonouchi retrieve his key by dropping it in the pier for him), and even help them get off Pegasus' island after Yugi wins the tournament. He's still an asshole, but not at the same level he used to be since Death-T, but still a loving brother to Mokuba the latter remembers him being.
*** The second anime has the same idea across, but without the Penalty Game-induced coma. He's still a reluctant ally to Yugi and his friends, but his rivalry and superiority to Yugi is what he still cares about, but is willing to fight on his side against even worse enemies than him.

* In ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' the plot starts off with who should have been an otome game villainess hitting her head and realizing she's the reincarnation of a normal schoolgirl, after which she turns really sweet overnight, if perhaps a little dim. This sets off something of a chain reaction that makes all the people around her a lot nicer and more well adjusted as well. Her adoptive brother would have become a playboy but thanks to his sister being friendlier he becomes a perfect gentleman instead, the feuding twin brothers being plagued by neglect and inferiority are getting along, another male character who has trust issues opens up as someone understands his family, and three of the female main characters GrewASpine.

* ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia2017'':
** Diana undergoes this in the later episodes. Early on, Diana started off as an distant, aloof, haughty and cold AcademicAlphaBitch who while caring and helpful, often harshly berated and acted like a {{Jerkass}} towards Akko for her attitude towards magic and idolization of Shiny Chariot. However over time and after witnessing Akko's performance at the Samhain Festival, she begins to show a bit more respect towards her (to where she defended her from her family at one point) and after Akko rescued her and helped her in trying to become head, Diana begins to open up more to her and while she still teases or criticizes her at times, she takes on a more caring and supportive attitude towards Akko as opposed to harshly berating her like she did earlier on. She also begins to open up to Akko's friends as well and is shown to hang out with them by the end.
** Like the films, Hannah and Barbara started off as snobbish, bullying jerks to Akko and her friends. After Akko convinces Diana to return to Luna Nova however, they give the former a genuine and proper thanks and by the epilogue, they're [[spoiler:hanging out with the main group]].
