A profound test of character: someone is in trouble and in need of help. Will you stand by them? Help them? Give them moral support? Let others know that you do so, and face their contempt? It will cost you. It may cost you a great deal. While pre-existing friendship is possible, demonstrating The Power of Friendship in a Friendship Moment, the character may also be a Mentor, an acquaintance (perhaps nothing more than someone they are Lonely Together with), or even a stranger who sees the character in need and trusts them. It can create friendship and even True Companions, and it is certainly the point at which a character knows they have friends. (If they are Vitriolic Best Buds, this may be the point at which the audience realizes they are friends.) It can also be the way the Worthy Opponent demonstrates their worthiness, and the Friendly Enemy their friendliness, by some act such as acting as Character Witness for The Hero, or preventing them from being stabbed In the Back. In a Betty and Veronica triangle, Betty is the one who will come through — often the point at which Oblivious to Love trope stops. Conversely, failing to do so can be how such groups as the Gang of Bullies or Girl Posse reveal that they are not really friends. Chronic Hero Syndrome is a tendency to a certain type of this trope. Super-Trope of Good Samaritan, I Got You Covered, Changed My Mind, Kid, Financial Test of Friendship, Gondor Calls for Aid, and Greater Need Than Mine. Compare Fire-Forged Friends. Contrast Fair-Weather Mentor and Fair-Weather Friend. In a more cynical series villains or even protagonists may wind up Dying Alone instead. Also cynical if the person in need happens to be a true odd man out. |

Sherlock: In the first episode of when Sherlock is with a serial killer and is on the verge of taking one of the (purportedly) poisoned pills the man had been using to kill his victims, John arrives and shoots the killer through the window from the next building. Sherlock returns the favor in the second episode by saving John and his date Sarah when they're captured by the Black Lotus. John does the same thing when said gangster tries to kill BOTH Sarah and Sherlock, despite being tied to a chair at the time. Things end badly for the gangster. And again when the professional killer grabs Sherlock in a headlock in an attempt to strangle him or snap his neck. In the third episode, when the Big Bad is strapping innocent people to bombs as part of his mind games with Sherlock, John calls Sherlock out for not caring that there are lives at stake. Sherlock shrugs this off, reasoning that caring about people won't help save them, so he won't make the mistake of doing so. Then John gets strapped to a bomb. Guess who decides to start caring? And when John's life is threatened in the series two finale, guess who has to fake their death for him? And when John is thrown in a bonfire- Sherlock gets him out of it. Also, he does shoot Magnusson when John's being screwed with, as well as Mary. Which, in turn, screwed things up for him. |

When Blake, the local Handyman, finds himself threatened by supernatural forces due to his inheritance (and is convinced to actually tell them what's going on), all of them pitch in to help out, in spite of his warnings that people are trying to kill him and worse. | |

Bleach: When Rukia was taken back to Soul Society and sentenced to be executed, Ichigo was determined to go rescue her. Same thing when Orihime got captured by Aizen. Also with Chad, who refused to fight a bunch of thugs and Ichigo came to help him. All the captains of Soul Society and the Vizards joined in the battle against Aizen to help out Ichigo and give him a chance to strike Aizen, letting him know right from the get-go that he wasn't alone in this fight. |

Chuck: Sarah and Chuck unhesitatingly went rogue to try and help their partner Casey when they thought he'd been falsely accused of treason. Similarly, Casey has covered for Sarah and Chuck with Beckman more than once when they bent the rules. In defense of Chuck, his best buddy Morgan attempted to attack a Ninja in the pilot. Said ninja promptly beat the crap out of him, but it's the thought that counts. |

This distracted the Flash's children enough so that Arsenal could look after them all, and Flash, after calling him a friend in need, could join his wife. | |

Omaha the Cat Dancer: The comic has a scene when Omaha returns to Mipple City when she learns that her boyfriend, Charles Tabey Jr., has had a mental breakdown. When she visits him at the mental hospital, he is barely coherent with meds and she is extremely upset. On the trip to see him again a bit later, Omaha has a moment where she complains it's not worth visiting him. That's when their mutual friend, Huddle, responds "Well, I guess that depends on whether you are his friend." When Omaha protests, citing their relationship, Huddle answers, "Yes, you are his lover, but are you his friend? Are you prepared to stick with him, even when you don't get anything? If not, then we might as well turn back and go home now." At that, Omaha ponders the point and tells Huddle to keep going to the hospital. | |

Charlotte helps Tiana clean up at her party, even though the prince has just arrived and she has always dreamed of marrying one. At the end, she's willing to kiss Naveen to let him marry Tiana, and seems genuinely upset that it didn't work. |

Morbius: After Morbius is infected with the blood of a demon and is resurrected as an undead, soulless being, one of his oldest friends decides to separate himself from the madness that is Morbius' life. He is chewed out by Werewolf by Night, who tells him Morbius now needs them more than ever. "I guess we see who Morbius's real friends are now." And the inverse: when Werewolf by Night is infected with the zombie virus during an A.R.M.O.R. mission, Morbius goes against strict orders that state infected teammates are to be terminated immediately. He smuggles A.R.M.O.R. equipment to his lab and sends others on a dimension-hopping mission to collect blood samples so he can devise a way to cure him, which he eventually does. |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (2006) sees the goddess Athena strand Hippolyta on Themysicra as punishment for Hippolyta's role in Amazons Attack! and erect a barrier around the island that no amazons can pass through. Nazis try to takeover the island while there is only one defender on it and Wonder Woman desperately prays to the gods to let her save her mother. All the gods hearing Diana's prayer ignore it out of fear of upsetting Athena until it reaches Kane Milohai, who just hears a single mother and desperate daughter in trouble and figures he has the time to lend a hand. Upon finding it's Wonder Woman in need, Kane Milohai not only gives her the means to bypass Athena's barrier but names her his champion. Since Diana has no father Kane Milohai also adopts Diana has his daughter before wishing her luck. He pays dearly, not from Athena but Zeus, who demands Kane Milohai give Diana's loyalty back to him even as the Hawaiian god tries to explain that's entirely up to Diana. Zeus decides he can win Diana's loyalty by making her a better family out of Kane Milohai's remains. | |

Ron and Hermione in Harry Potter, who repeatedly risk their lives out of loyalty to Harry when they could easily choose to go about their normal teenaged lives instead. In Ron's case, he's willing to make a Heroic Sacrifice on Harry's behalf as early as the first book. The Marauders (Harry's father and his best friends) all support their friend Lupin instead of spurning him when they find out about his furry little problem (he's a werewolf). Marietta is apparently the only member of Cho's posse to stick with her after she becomes distraught over Cedric's death and started behaving differently in her depression in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Unfortunately, Cho pushed this too far and forced Marietta to join the DA when she wasn't comfortable with it and didn't take the group seriously resulting in her betraying them in a move that almost got them all expelled, Cho included, and caused problems for the many of their relatives who were employed by the ministry. Fudge coming to expel Harry with Aurors along implied he wanted to toss him in Azkaban for starting the group. The only reason it didn't ruin or seriously hamper her fellow students' job prospects is that Dumbledore intervened. |

Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: In Death Masks, when Harry needs a second, Charity, although she despises him, truthfully says that Michael would have helped him, and Shiro volunteers to fill the role. Later, Shiro voluntarily takes Harry's place as Nicomedus's prisoner. In Dead Beat, Harry hears Billy and Georgia talking: Billy wants to help Harry, but Georgia is afraid that his trouble is too big for them, and so they would end up hindering him instead. And in Proven Guilty, Murphy comes along to help him pull a Big Damn Heroes moment even though she's in the middle of leading an investigation and got demoted from head of SI to sergeant for disappearing. As of Changes his friends all show up to help him when he needs it. Not all of them make it out, and Murphy at best is getting a half-pay retirement. Ghost Story shows that there were further consequences. Molly's injury left her with a limp, and she's not all there, thanks to being a sensitive who went into battle, surrounded by the psychic effects of death and black magic, not to mention the bloodline curse. In Cold Days every single one of his allies spends at least a few minutes chewing him out, using varying degrees of subtlety, for thinking they would abandon him just because he became the Winter Knight. In Skin Game has a domino effect of this. Now retired paladin Michael Carpenter sees Harry and Karrin about to be killed in front of his lawn, and despite his crippling injury, offers to come out if Nicodemus would stop his attack. Harry and Karrin plead to him to not do this, but he does so because they are friends. During the same scene, he openly calls Archangel Uriel his friend. Uriel is bound by many Laws that keep him from messing with free will and people's choices. What Uriel can do is help Michael in fulfilling a Choice Michael has already made and loans Michael his literal Grace of God, restoring Michael to full health. And if Michael abuses this Power while holding it, it will cause Uriel to Fall. Because of the above scenes, Waldo Butters is helping protect Michael's home and when Harry goes down and Charity held by Nicodemus' crew, to be forced to watch as Nicodemus burns the house down with all her children and friends inside. Butters makes a choice to sacrifice himself not to stop them completely, just buy time until other help can get there. His faith in Right overcoming Wrong combined with the other acts of Faith Harry and others make that night, allows for a Divine Aide to appear and sends Nicodemus fleeing. |

The Amy Virus: After Cyan's emotionally and financially abusive parents threaten to institutionalize her for "relapsing" back into the autism they supposedly cured when she was little, Cyan runs away the next morning on a rental bike and leaves a note for Renate to let her know what's going on. Renate catches up in her own rental bike and has Eroica drive up to the upcoming town so they can bring her back. However, once they hear about what happened, they immediately decide to help her run away from her parents and make sure they no longer dish their crap onto her. | |

The angel Tabris Kaworu in Neon Genesis Evangelion is poised to destroy mankind and basically unbeatable. Despite this, he gives Shinji a free opportunity to deny him his purpose and kill him, saving the human race, all because he loved Shinji and preferred that he survive. | |

The Karma of Lies uses this for Dramatic Irony. While Marinette's classmates prove to be Fair-Weather Friends when it comes to her, they're all willing to stand by Adrien after his father is unmasked as Hawkmoth, leaving Adrien unable to access his family's fortune and regarded with suspicion that he might have been involved with his father's crimes. The irony is that this devotion is entirely one-sided; Adrien previously refused to act against Lila despite knowing she was conning them all because HE wasn't being hurt by her lies. Once they learn about this, the whole class calls him out and turns their collective back on him. | |

Timon of Athens plays with this trope. Timon is very generous to his friends at the start of the play — he gives one friend money so he can get married, and bails another friend out of an execution sentence. When Timon goes bankrupt, you expect his friends to repay their debt, but they don't. This act of betrayal is so great Timon becomes a misanthropic hermit and swears to never be kind to anyone ever again. | |

Marietta is apparently the only member of Cho's posse to stick with her after she becomes distraught over Cedric's death and started behaving differently in her depression in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Unfortunately, Cho pushed this too far and forced Marietta to join the DA when she wasn't comfortable with it and didn't take the group seriously resulting in her betraying them in a move that almost got them all expelled, Cho included, and caused problems for the many of their relatives who were employed by the ministry. Fudge coming to expel Harry with Aurors along implied he wanted to toss him in Azkaban for starting the group. The only reason it didn't ruin or seriously hamper her fellow students' job prospects is that Dumbledore intervened. | |

In John C. Wright's Chronicles of Chaos — the children for each other, all the time. Plus: Lelaps, set to track them, deliberately leads pursuit away. Hermes offers to Amelia to assist them. They wisely do not trust him but have to get his help. Romus helps against Mrs Wren and leaves Amelia and Quentin with gifts. Miss Daw can not fail to warn Boggins if they try to escape, but she does overlook everything that is not an escape attempt, and dallies when she must tell him. At her request, Corus also lets Amelia escape. Sam picks up Amelia when she tries to hitchhike. She jumps in front of him when Corus shoots. The ship picks them up in the middle of the sea. Victor weighs whether to help the ship even at the price of risking the universe because of this assistance; Colin refuses to not help. And when Amelia goes off to save them all, Vanity and Colin come after her. |

This is arguably the entire point of moirallegiance, or the diamond shipping quadrant, in Homestuck. A moirallegiance is a sort of romantic friendship, but it also inherently entails a promise between moirails to protect each other in times of need or danger. Prime examples of this would be Equius sacrificing himself so Gamzee doesn't get to Nepeta first during his phase, or Karkat being the one to get Gamzee out of that phase by "shoosh-papping" (calmly touching and quieting) him. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Roy invokes the trope by name when making an offer to Durkon — it's the least he can do for a friend in need. Elan and Haley immediately offer to help as well. In contrast, much earlier he initially refused to go rescue Elan who got captured by bandits. This nearly landed him in deep trouble much later on... | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: Used in a pretty dark way — Rena killed a woman who tried to seduce her father for his money (and the woman's lover) and tried to hide it from her friends; however, when they discover the truth, they unanimously agree to help her dispose of the bodies.note Hey, friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. In the same arc, when Rena is affected by the same paranoid delusions Keiichi had fallen to in the first arc, the friends all group together to save her, rather than abandoning her to the unfortunate fate despite/because Keiichi knows that Rena had tried to save him risking her life before. In another arc, Rena decides to kill Satoko's uncle. Keiichi and Shion also realize this is the only way to save Satoko and become her accomplices to prevent each other from being caught by the police. Paranoia ensues. Also on a lighter note, the origins of the game club (revealed in the Festival Music chapter) were to help the Hojo siblings cope with the crap they are put through. Partially successful. |

Near the end of Persona 5, the Protagonist is forced to turn themselves in as leader of the Phantom Thieves so he can testify against the Big Bad and make sure that he'll be punished. Of course, this means that he'll be sent to juvenile hall since he'll be admitting to breaking his probation and the authorities care more about saving face than doing the right thing. However, the rest of the Phantom Thieves manage to rally together to try and free their leader, and any Confidants that have reached max rank will be shown tapping their connections to help in any way they can. It takes nearly two months, but it pays off and the Protagonist is exonerated from the false charges that led to his probation and he leaves juvenile hall a free man. | |

"Legacy": Darkseid brainwashes Superman and sends him to conquer Earth under his own symbol. While Lois manages to snap him out of it, she can't do so before he's become a pariah to most of the world. Jimmy proves his status as Superman's friend by defending the disgraced hero on public television, standing alone against every other person interviewed to insist he get a second chance. |

Late in the The Howling (1977), Chris receives Karyn's answering machine message begging him to travel all the way from Los Angeles and pick her up from Drago (as she can't drive), to bring a gun and, if possible, silver bullets. Chris could've just ignored the message because the last time he spoke to Karyn, she was acting irrationally, rudely dismissed him and even punched him in the face when he was just trying to help her (he'd inadvertently triggered her trauma from her sexual assault by touching her arm). Chris also notes that what she's suggesting in her message sounds pretty delusional. Chris decides that because Karyn sounds frightened and he knows her to be generally rational that she's in genuine danger. He considers calling the cops for help, but ultimately decides to put himself in harm's way and do exactly as Karyn asked, fighting off at least a dozen werewolves to save her. | |

The Dragon That Will Pierce the Heavens: Besides the canon examples, the protagonist Hikari runs on this trope. If you are ever in trouble or need help, she will never hesitate to help and will go through a frankly absurd amount of punishment to see it through. This is seen as early as the first chapter, where she joined Luffy and fought to protect him from Alvida without hesitation, and is highlighted in their journey to help Vivi save Alabasta, where she signs up without so much as a second thought and puts herself through stabbings, cuts, broken bones, internal injuries, and an EXPLOSION to see Vivi's country survive. This is turned on Hikari twice: first in the Drum Island Arc, where she was bitten by the Kestia Tick and becomes deathly ill. Despite her protests, the Straw Hats don't hesitate to find her a doctor, even if it means facing giant carnivorous rabbits or climbing a sheer rock face to do so. The second is in Skypiea, where she is thoroughly beaten and kidnapped by Eneru, and the Straw Hats do not consider even searching for Shandora without her, immediately coming up with a plan to save her and beat up the 'God' for daring to hurt her. |

When he realises Gray is at risk of being targeted by bullies, Stephen draws all of their attention back to himself. It ends tragically, as Stephen is hospitalised with a low chance of recovery. |

Our Miss Brooks: Miss Brooks can always be counted on to standby for her friends; even Mr. Conklin who often plays the role of Friendly Enemy. On multiple occasions, she protects Walter Denton from having one of his practical jokes exposed and backfiring on him. "Cure That Habit" and "Mr. Conklin is Honored" are cases in point. Miss Brooks is eager to protect Mr. Boynton, naturally enough. "Mr. Conklin Plays Detective", where Miss Brooks believes Mr. Boynton used Mr. Conklin's phone to make a long-distance call, is a case in point. Likewise, in "The Jewel Robbery", where Miss Brooks wrongly believes Mr. Boynton robbed a store. Miss Brooks saves Mr. Conklin's job in "Wake Up Plan" and "Saving the School Newspaper". When Miss Brooks wrongly concludes Mr. Conklin has been fired in "Rumors", she sets up a laundry to raise money. Miss Brooks saves Mrs. Davis from a hurried marriage in "Marriage Madness". |

Reconstructed in Frozen (2013). The plot hinges on Anna helping Elsa even when it involves great hardship, like journeying through a snowstorm on foot, and when she has plenty of reasons to distrust her and other characters question her decision because of them. This eventually gets Anna struck with a deadly curse, but she still sees that Elsa really doesn't mean any harm and continues to help her. | |

Two examples in Daughter for Dessert: Amanda confided in Kathy that she was attracted to her own father. Kathy not only doesn't judge her but also agrees to post erotic fiction stories that Amanda writes about the two of them on the internet. If the inspiration for the stories were to be discovered, it would be traced back to Kathy, not Amanda. Mortelli has his moment at the end. Sacrificing his professional reputation, and quite possibly his freedom, he intentionally sabotages the prosecution in the protagonist's trial. |

Schindler's List: Oskar Schindler is a greedy womanizer who has little issue using German racial prejudice against the Jews to make a quick buck by using them as cheap labor outsourced from German concentration camps. He's charming but also a spendthrift who doesn't have a mind for business, (he flat out admits the only reason he's making money now is that what with profiteering off the war, it's essentially impossible not to) and leaves the management of his enamelware factory to his more shrewd-minded Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, becoming fabulously wealthy. The Jews begin to look up to Schindler, who treats them humanely and is the only authority figure around who isn't The Sociopath. The camp is eventually shut down, and Schindler plans on leaving since he already has more money than he could ever spend in a lifetime. But the Jews who work in his factory are soon to be deported to Auschwitz, where they will certainly be massacred. The next day, Schindler has Stern type up the titular 'list' with the names of all his workers on it, telling him that he is relocating them all to a munitions factory he's building in his hometown. Itzhak openly wonders how Schindler convinced Commandant Goeth to let them go... and then it dawns on him that Schindler has spent everything he has buying them from him. Stern calls the list an 'absolute good', awed by such an act of pure, unadulterated love and compassion. | |

After the events previously shown when Ducky tells Angus' fiance he loves her and the fight in which Ducky knocks two of Angus' teeth out but the woman still marries Angus, Ducky goes to Angus for help in securing custody of Ducky's half-brother from the boy's biological mother. When the legal case is against them, Angus tells Ducky he will give Ducky the 10,000 pounds the mother is asking for in exchange for giving up custody of her child. Ducky is shocked at this benevolence from the man, who will simply take Ducky floundering for the words to thank him as payment. | |

In Kaamelott: Premier Volet, the Duke of Aquitania (Alain Chabat) buys the freedom of Arthur Pendragon (Alexandre Astier) twice the amount of the bounty on his head (and that's half of the Duchy's treasury) to the Bounty Hunter who captured him, in the hope of seeing Arthur reclaim the throne of Kaamelott, and because they've been longtime friends. Arthur is reluctant as hell, but points to the Duke for freeing him and trying to convince him. | |

In Star Trek: The Original Series, the Enterprise crew often risk their lives to help a fellow member. In "Amok Time", Kirk was willing to disobey a direct order from Starfleet to help Spock get to Vulcan, fortunately Spock's family matriarch pulls some strings to make sure the Captain is not in trouble. In "Turnabout Intruder", Spock was the first one to believe that Kirk was in another body and defended him when the imposter tried to kill Kirk. In "The Empath", McCoy knocked out both Kirk and Spock so that they wouldn't be subjected to torture that would either kill them or leave them insane and he would be chosen instead of them. | |

In Godzilla vs. Gigan, there are several moments in which Godzilla and his partner Anguirus got each other's back: When Gigan starts kicking Anguirus in the head, how does Godzilla respond? By chucking a boulder at Gigan's head. Anguirus sees Godzilla being attacked by the high-powered weaponry from the Godzilla Tower at the center of the amusement park where the battle is taking place, while Gigan and Ghidorah look on. Headless of the danger to himself, he charges to the rescue, willing to go headlong into Gigan's buzzsaw to try to save his friend. After recovering from being bombarded, Godzilla returns the favor when he sees Anguirus being attacked by King Ghidorah. |

Winds up being serious subverted in A Song of Ice and Fire with Tyrion and Bronn. Bronn made a point of warning Tyrion just after they met that he was interested in money, not in risking his neck for no benefit to himself. Three books later, when they've become close — Bronn saving Tyrion's life several times, Tyrion using his influence to get Bronn more wealth and power than he could have ever dreamed of — Tyrion finds himself in desperate need of a champion to help prove his innocence in a trial that is rigged against him. Bronn winds up turning him down, reminding him that he did, in fact, make the nature of their relationship clear right up front. Tyrion has to settle for A Brother In Need instead. | |

One Piece: Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (real name Bentham, nickname Bon-chan). His every action outside of when he was part of a Quirky Miniboss Squad is motivated by feelings of friendship and prompts him to take risks even when he has no obligation to do so. In the Alabasta arc, he met and befriended the Straw Hat pirates for all of five minutes before being retrieved by his ship and discovering they were enemies. After the arc ended and they were no longer foes, Bon-chan helped the Straw Hats in their escape from a Marine blockade. While this part was somewhat self-serving since it helps his own escape prospects, when the Straw Hats risk it all to give a farewell to a friend, Bon Chan is so touched he ends up risking his own capture to ensure they can pull it off and get away. Later, during the "Meet Baroque" cover story arc, Bon Kurei gave his aid to Miss Goldenweek and Mr. 5's attempts to rescue Ms. Valentine and the other incarcerated Officer Agents of Baroque Works. This act does result in his capture and sentence to Level Three of Impel Down. After getting out of his cell in the prison Impel Down, Bon-chan offers to help the currently intruding Luffy reach his destination because it coincides with is own goal. He suffers a moment of weakness here and leaves Luffy behind to face Chief Warden Magellan alone, but comes back to rescue Luffy afterward and helps find treatment for his severe poisoning from the loss. The cause for this moment of weakness is that he knows Magellan's reputation and by the end of the arc, it was shown Magellan was powerful enough to simultaneously beat Luffy (the main character), some guy with a type advantage over Magellan's own abilities and several escaped prisoners armed with guns and cannons. After shouting for seven hours straight for Luffy to recover quickly, Bon-chan is himself recovered in time for the breakout. However, the only way the escaping prisoners can get past their final obstacle, The Gates of Justice, is if someone stays behind and opens them from within the prison. While Bon-chan successfully does this, he draws the full attention and killing intent of Magellan, who he promptly challenges alone, with his own eulogy in the background, all while declaring he has no regrets. In essence, this was how Luffy met or helped out his friends, gaining their loyalty. Zoro was about to be executed by the marines when Luffy jumped in. He beat the tar out of Arlong for making Nami cry. He helped out Usopp because he saw that Usopp was determined to protect his village. He helped Sanji protect Zeff's resturant ship. He stopped Wapol and defended Chopper's pirate flag. Robin wanted to die, but Luffy encouraged her to live. He accepted Franky into his crew, despite being enemies earlier. He gave companionship and freedom to Brook. And he broke Jinbe out of prison and helped him save Fishman Island. This is Luffy in general. You don't even have to be one of his crew mates — you just have to be a friend because, for Luffy, that's always been enough. Or you could just give him free food, which for practical purposes is more or less the same thing. |

Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily: Paul London and Specter do...not have a good friendship (stemming from London's kooky personality clashing with Specter's stoicism and also cause London was forced to Mercy Kill Specter's denizen partner). But in the Fog Car (aka Silent Hill), London chooses to be tortured in Specter's place (due to Specter kicking his second denizen partner out of a window coming back for vengeance) and tells Specter to get to the ferry so he can escape, leaving him alone to fight Pyramid Head (who hates denizen abuse) and nearly die to him. In Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, an alternate version of Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail that has London and Specter reunite, London tells Ryoken outright that he shows concern for Specter (who had to have his memories sealed in a geass after White Gestalt's actions nearly derailed the Train) because he is a friend and he cares for him. It's this declaration that makes Specter decide to leave the Hanoi to go back to heal because he knows that someone cares for him as a person. |

Game of Thrones: Concern for his friend Robert's safety is a major motivation for Ned to accept the office of King's Hand as Ned read a letter sent by Lysa Arryn that accuses the Lannisters of killing Jon Arryn and plotting to kill Robert Baratheon. This letter was sent to him by Lysa, on Littlefinger's behest, to specifically invoke this trope. Podrick refuses to betray Tyrion in exchange for a knighthood, even though the alternative is likely persecution. Averted when Bronn jumps ship the minute he gets a better offer, just like he always said he would. Theon's concern for his surrogate Sister Sansa is what leads to his redemption as he takes great risks in order to ensure her safety. |

This is a recurring theme in the fan-game Rakenzarn Tales. Especially with the main character Kyuu. He makes it clear that he will stick with his friends until they save Rakenzarn from magical disasters called the plagues, in spite of the fact that he is not from this world. During the game, when he's sent back in his world while the plague hasn't been destroyed, the player can make him choose to go back to Rakenzarn to help his friends. Choosing to not go back leads to a Non-Standard Game Over. | |

A Year To Fill An Empty Home: Fukuyama starts out as Takeshi's junior assistant at Sato Electricians, letting his ambition get the best of him as he works to undermine Takeshi's authority at every turn, even going behind his back to do the project his way. When he accidentally starts a fire on the site, their Mean Boss reams Fukuyama out, only for Takeshi to suddenly speak up on his behalf, declaring that he's already learned his lesson and if Sato insists on ripping deeper into him, he'll quit. Fukuyama is completely taken aback at Takeshi's willingness to put himself on the line despite how disrespectfully he'd treated him, and the two become close friends. | |

Nate rushes over to his friend in the hospital. He also assumes some corruption is at work as the beating prevented Paul from his meeting with the city council to block the sale of his church. With the work of his team, knowing Paul's honesty, and a miracle, they are able to save the church. In "The Two Horse Job" Elliot receives a call from an old friend, whose daughter he had a relationship with in their teenage years, after the man's barn is set on fire and all but one of the horses he trains died. The man's employer is now smearing his name and blaming him for the fire. |

In Hamilton, Jefferson accusing Hamilton of subverting this by not helping France in their revolution (and therefore, not helping their mutual friend Lafayette bring freedom to the people of France after Hamilton explicitly promised he would in "Yorktown", although it's unclear how Jefferson would have known this). Hamilton points out that the official treaty they made with France was made with the King (who was one of the first to go in the Reign of Terror), that France doesn't quite have a clear leader at the moment, and that Lafayette is smart enough to figure out a way to survive the revolution (he does, but he's also imprisoned for most of it by the revolutionaries, so it's not like he was doing well for himself). | |

In the Doctor Who story The War Machines, when another man is hassling Polly, Ben tells him to stop and does not retreat from a fight. (Polly starts complaining, but Dodo urges that he was only trying to help.) Then the Doctor shows up looking for Dodo, and Ben stays with them until they close shop, and continues to be involved in the adventure for no more reason than that they need help. | |

In Teen Wolf, Stiles doesn't waver when his best friend goes through his...wolfish tendencies. He offers support and stands by his side even when he tried to kill him in one of his transformations. So far, he's The Confidant and the Secret-Keeper to Scott. | |

Variable Geo: Yuka's childhood friend, Satomi, has fallen on hard times ever since her parents died, leaving her to care for herself and her Delicate and Sickly kid brother on her own. However, she barely earns enough to support them, despite working two jobs, due to Daiskue's medical expenses. This makes her an easy target for the Jahana Group, who manipulates Satomi into entering the VG tournament. When Yuka becomes aware of the situation, she resolves to save her friend. | |

Winnie the Pooh: Christopher Robin pretends to believe that Pooh is a cloud to try to fool the bees and shoots down the balloon to get Pooh away from the bees. Christopher Robin reads to Pooh when he's stuck in Rabbit's front door. Pooh and Christopher Robin go to rescue Piglet in the flood, and Owl, well-intentioned, goes to encourage him with news that rescue is coming and tells him a story to divert his attention (accidentally endangering as it nearly puts Piglet to sleep and causes him to slip into the flood, but he meant well). Pooh helps Tigger find something to eat. Tigger goes to rescue Rabbit when he's lost in the mist. Piglet volunteers his home for Owl to live in after Owl's is destroyed. Pooh says Piglet would come live with him if he lost his home. |

Saint Seiya: Shiryu. Even though most of the Bronze Saints are ready to go to great lengths for one another, Shiryu seems particularly prone to that, especially toward Seiya. The most memorable example would be Shiryu willing to bathe Seiya's Cloth with most of his blood, aware that it would cost his life, in order to repair it. Without his Cloth, Seiya would not have stood a chance to survive the threat he was facing at the time and thus Shiryu was willing to offer his life for a friend in need. Shiryu's biggest moment of this type was the fight against Perseus Algol, in which he blinds himself to be able to fight him out of his sheer determination to save his friends. Shun was willing to risk his life to revive Hyoga in the House of Libra. |
