^Going Native is by choice. The OP means when the captive is forced to comform to their captors' way of life.

I think the The Last Samurai example is still textbook Going Native, even if the subject was forced at first, especially since the change was one of culture rather than morality.

The next step up in terms of "forcible conformance" would be Stockholm Syndrome or Being Tortured Makes You Evil, which would apply to being captured by a group that is unambiguously bad (e.g. hostage-taking criminals or The Empire).
