Apologetic Attacker | comment |
Heroes are, at least for the most part, good people, with clear morals. However, they also have to dish out some punishment now and again, usually directed at people who are decidedly less good, and whose morals are rather lacking, so it's all good. However, some heroes may feel bad about inflicting any kind of injury on another person, no matter how deserving that person might be. Under these circumstances, the least the hero can do is to let the villain know that, while they may be punching them in the face, they are at least sorry. Very sincerely sorry indeed. This is even more likely to occur when the character the hero is attacking is not really evil, but needs to be incapacitated for some reason. The hero will say something like "I'm really, really sorry about this," before whacking them over the head or knocking them out in some other way. (In extreme cases, it could even come to a Mercy Kill.) However, some people will apologize for attacking even the most deranged Psycho for Hire, even if the psycho's actions left that person with no choice but to attack. Perhaps they're simply someone who Apologises a Lot. Alternately, the attacker might not be a good guy, but is still not exactly evil, and does not want to hurt whoever they're attacking. They might be controlled somehow but are still able to speak, they might have transformed into something with a Horror Hunger that they can't redirect, or they might just be unhappy about attacking someone. Compare Thank Your Prey, which can easily overlap; Sorry I Fell on Your Fist, where the victim apologizes; Why Did You Make Me Hit You?, where the manipulative attacker merely pretends to feel guilty; and My Fist Forgives You, where the attacker is quickly settling a score. If the attacker apologizes beforehand without explaining why, it's a Preemptive Apology. People Puppets are usually this, if the puppetmaster still allows them to speak while controlling their body. |

The Penguins of Madagascar episode "It's About Time" has Private apologizing to Skipper as he attempts to steal a vial of "Macguffium," a chemical that is supposed to power Kowalski's time travel device, the Chronotron, in order to destroy it under another Kowalski's orders. Private succeeds, but the real Kowalski just so happens to have a spare vial of Macguffium to foil Private's goal. | |

Disgaea: Some of the healer classes shout "Forgive me!" as a battle cry when you have them attack physically. At first glance, demonic healers appearing to feel guilty at attacking enemies is kind of... odd, until Disgaea DS points out they are actually fallen angels from Celestia, making them not so different from Flonne ("Whoops, pardon me!"). Old habits die hard, it seems. Seraph Lamington prefaces his ultimate attack, Armageddon, with a prayer for forgiveness. |

A villainous example in Uncanny X-Men #217, when Dazzler picks a fight with the Juggernaut. It turns out Cain is a huge fan of her music, and when she confronts him he apologises and tries to leave without violence.

Shawn Michaels said "I'm sorry, I love you" to Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV just before Shawn used his finishing move and pinned Flair. As a result of losing, Flair had to retire, enhancing causing the emotional impact of the moment. This later got an Ironic Echo during Shawn's stretcher match against Batista at One Night Stand. The whole thing was essentially a squash match, with Batista finishing it by mouthing "I'm not sorry. I don't love you." Then plastering Shawn with the Batista Bomb. | |

Fire Emblem: Near the end of Blazing Sword, the recently revived Ninian uses the remains of her ice powers to kill two Fire Dragons and severely wound a third. The poor woman is in tears as she does so, apologizing to them and telling them is not their fault while freezing them to death, as she knows that they only want to see their former home of Elibe but their mere presence can potentially destroy the whole continent. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, one of Olivia's quotes has her screaming "I didn't want to do this!" at the enemy whenever she crit-hits them. Or if she's re-classed into an Assassin/Swordmaster and Lethality/Astra activates. In Fire Emblem Fates, several characters apologize to their foes when they activate their critical hits or skills. Among them is the mercenary Laslow, who is actually Inigo, Olivia's son, who is now travelling through this world for very complicated reasons. A few other examples include Sakura and Subaki, who can say they're sorry during critical hits and skills; and Corrin, Kana, Ryoma, and Hisame, who can all apologize after defeating an opponent. Bernadetta, Ignatz, and Marianne in Fire Emblem: Three Houses can all apologize during critical hits. Marianne also says "I'm really sorry" as one of her post-battle quotes. |

Dragon Quest VII has a great beginning world that partakes to this. The first dungeon has three bosses. A miniboss to enter, a second-in-command, and a world-sector boss. There is no break to heal or save in between the last two. Why does this fit? The World-sector boss is Matilda, who only asks you to kill them and free the world-sector. They only defend and the battle just turns into a Tear Jerker with bonus exp. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The Return of Harmony, Part 2", Fluttershy is ordered to restrain a brainwashed Rainbow Dash, and proceeds to fly up to the sleeping Rainbow and... gently awaken her, then ask "I'm just wondering if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit." Twilight Sparkle's reaction is predictable. |

In the original manga: Maria Ross apologized in advance before and after slapping Ed across the face for going into Laboratory 5 on his own. Justified since Ed's higher in rank than Maria and could give her and Denny Brosh their walking orders if he wanted to (of course, he doesn't). Hohenheim apologises before he stabs Izumi Curtis with his hand, although given his relationship with it, it's possible that he was apologising to his philosopher's stone. |

In The Fifth Elephant, Sybil Vimes automatically says, "I'm terribly sorry!" just as she whacks a guard over the head with an iron bar. This is an interesting counterpoint to her original character, in Guards! Guards!, as an overpowering personality who takes no guff from anyone. In the rest of the series, she's far more polite and apologetic, despite taking just as little guff. | |

After dealing with a crisis at a nuclear power plant, Captain Planet starts chasing Dr. Blight's aircraft, correctly assuming that Blight is to blame for the whole thing but having no idea of the "Freaky Friday" Flip. Thus, Gaia-as-Blight tells MAL that while they must defend themselves, the Captain is to be treated gently. | |

Dragon Ball: In the early part of the story, while the young Goku loves the act of fighting, he doesn't like to hurt opponents unnecessarily, even if a villain has kidnapped one of his friends (more due to him being naive enough to not realize they're villains in the first place). Goku's gentle son Gohan is also this in Dragon Ball Z, particularly when training with Piccolo in the rare moment he actually lands an attack. He's also extremely hesitant to fight Cell, despite all the monstrous acts Cell has committed by the time that happens. This goes away once Gohan achieves Super Saiyan 2. Also in Z, Trunks apologizes to Goku before charging at him with his sword to see if he's the real Goku. |

Harry Potter: In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry, Ron, and Hermione apologize to Neville after using the Full Body-Bind curse on him because he was in the way. Dobby is very much this in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with the various things he does to try to protect Harry. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Voldemort says "I regret it" when murdering Snape. He might have even meant it too since he just lost his most capable servant. It's also a very minor version as there was no humanity behind the sentiment. |

In Patoruzú, Patoruzú hits Gaston the Frenchman hard enough to knock him unconscious. Isidoro points out that he may have killed him with his sheer strength. The moralistic Patoruzú is horrified by this and promptly apologizes to the unconscious Gaspar for hitting him so hard. It turns out that Gaspar was faking unconsciousness in order to make Patoruzú feel guilty so he could catch him off-guard. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: During Shinji's battle with the possessed Unit 02, he apologizes before stabbing it - to Asuka, who he's well aware isn't even inside it at the time. This is because pilots do tend to get emotionally attached to their machines, particularly someone like Asuka, where piloting it is pretty much all she has to live for. He knew she'd be upset if he damaged Unit 02, so he apologized. Toji does this when he beats Shinji up out of anger over his little sister getting injured during Unit-01's first fight. |

Discworld: In The Fifth Elephant, Sybil Vimes automatically says, "I'm terribly sorry!" just as she whacks a guard over the head with an iron bar. This is an interesting counterpoint to her original character, in Guards! Guards!, as an overpowering personality who takes no guff from anyone. In the rest of the series, she's far more polite and apologetic, despite taking just as little guff. In Interesting Times, Rincewind is puzzling out the apologetic note before he gets hit over the head. Simony in Small Gods kills a guard who, while just doing his job, is also trying to shoot Didactylos. He makes a sincere apology to the dying man. |

In The Empress Game, there's a degree of this from Janeen after she betrays Malkor's team, as she keeps saying that it "wasn't supposed to be like this" and that nobody was supposed to get hurt. However, it's a pretty poor apology, since it's peppered with self-justification and blame-shifting along the lines of "if you'd only accepted it peacefully, it wouldn't have come to this". | |

Valkyria Chronicles: Susie Evans, being a staunch pacifist, will sometimes freeze up and stop moving if you order her to attack someone (regardless of how much AP she has left). She can, however, use Ragnaid on an ally and still move around fine. If ordered to attack someone, she will actually apologize. Depending on your sense of humour, this is either tragic or darkly hilarious. Also, one of the enemy lieutenants remarks how the protagonists seem like good people, and he's sorry he has to fight them. |

In Mighty No. 9, while none of the Mighty Numbers want to fight you, almost all of them have succumbed to the virus by the time you reach them and crazily attack Beck. The sole exception is Brandish, who's only just starting to get affected when you reach his level. As a result, he spends most of said level begging for you to turn back because he doesn't want to hurt you when he loses control. When you fight him at the end, he apologizes, encourages you to stop him, and even occasionally yells out advice to you, such as warning you when he's going to perform an aerial attack. | |

Despite fighting otherworldly monsters or people corrupted by the Hollows beyond the point of sanity and hope, both known as Ethereals, Corin Wickes of Zenless Zone Zero is constantly apologizing to them while she tears them to bits with her circular saw. To really emphasize the point, her switch-attack and ultimate are called "Sorry..." and "Very, Very Sorry!", respectively. | |

The Order of the Stick. Roy and Belkar are in a gladiator arena in the Empire of Blood (complicated story), and when he sees a peg-legged man threatening Elan with a shiv, he punches him. Before this, however, he apologizes, saying "I just wanted to let you know that this in no way reflects my views on the differently-abled." | |

I'm sorry!" as they attempt to smash you into a pulp. Justified in that they're being controlled by a warlock who has been trapping people in a cage.

Undertale has a few examples: The early Random Encounter Whimsun doesn't want to fight but feels they have to. Their battle dialogue consists of a lot of apologies, they can be spared right off the bat and their attacks don't even try to hit you. The optional boss "So Sorry", as per his name, apologizes for everything. He's not even trying to attack you at all, he's just incredibly clumsy. Asgore manages to be a downplayed version in his normal boss fight; he's less direct about it, but he still makes it clear that he really does not want to fight the protagonist. Asgore's Lost Soul in the True Final Boss fight has lines like "Forgive me for this" and "This is my duty". |

During the showdown with Crichton in the Farscape episode "Self-Inflicted Wounds", Pathfinder Neeyala remarks, "I have never before released my bristles to kill. Your forgiveness." During the "What was Lost" two-parter, Noranti decides that John has to die for the greater good, so she uses some sort of phlebotinum to convince him to jump off a cliff. She intersperses commands to John to walk toward the cliff with "Forgive me" and prayers to her god(s) to "receive his spirit." |

In Super Mario Party, many NPCs that penalize the player will be significantly less jerkish and more apologetic if that player happens to be Bowser or Bowser Jr.. Kamek in particular will shake like a leaf and beg for forgiveness if either of them lands on a Bad Luck Space. | |

Smallville: Chloe always apologizes when she is forced to subdue Clark with kryptonite, as shown in "Splinter", "Hypnosis" and "Progeny", even under Mind Control with the last case. In "Freak", Clark shouts that he is sorry as he painfully burns a hole in Chloe's chest. He is trying to get a dangerous device planted into her out, and it is under her request. In "Upgrade", Chloe apologizes when she is forced to chloroform Lois. |

During the first battle with Jafar in Kingdom Hearts, he orders the Genie to attack you. Before every attack, the Genie yells "I'm really sorry about this!" or the equivalent ("Oh please, oh please let me miss!") as well as "Quick, get out of the way!", and if he does hit you, health orbs fly out of his fist to make up for it. | |

X-Wing Series: Iella Wesseri's husband, thought to be dead for two years, was found in a prison when the New Republic captured Coruscant. Iella was delighted to have him back, and although he seemed quieter and weaker than he had been before this he was also glad to see her again. Later Iella, being a New Republic Intelligence officer, was assigned to escort an Imperial informant to safety only for her husband to shoot the informant and try to kill her. She shoots her husband, and as he's dying she finds that during his long absence Isard turned him into a Manchurian Agent. Surprisingly, he doesn't say the word "sorry" at all during that, but regret is pretty heavy throughout what he says to her. | |

BioShock: Most of the Splicers in the series are pretty out of it, but the Pigskin from BioShock occasionally realizes that you're not, in fact, his hated father. He's reluctant, but keeps hunting you because he thinks Ryan would do horrible things to him if he let you go: At the end of BioShock 2, Sinclair is turned into an Alpha Series Big Daddy and forced to fight you, apologizing the whole time and asking to be put out of his misery. The Handymen from BioShock Infinite will occasionally warn you to run away, and will scream "get off that thing!" before electrocuting the rail you're on. Normally, this would be a simple boast, but it's later revealed that many Handymen were political prisoners charged with crimes including pacifism, and turned into war machines. |

A violent and disturbing example occurs in the Extended Cut of Alien³ with the prisoner Golic. Already driven mad by the sight of the Xenomorph, he insists that he must see it again after the other in-mates have successfully trapped it in a nuclear storage room, where it can't escape. Another prisoner is guarding the only door and warns Golic that it will kill him. Golic looks away, mutters an apology... then cuts Arthur's throat with a single slash from another prisoner's shaving razor, babbling panicked apologies as the inmate quickly bleeds out. It's potentially creepier when you consider that Golic appears to exhibit some religious reverence for the creature, and he asks it what to do, making one wonder if perhaps it's controlling or speaking to him somehow, making his apology seem all the more sincere. | |

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Chekhov apologizes to the authorities on the USS Enterprise (the Navy's "nuclear wessel," not the starship) before attempting to stun them with his phaser in order to escape. The phaser doesn't work because of the radiation on board, so he tosses the phaser at them and high-tails it. Star Trek Into Darkness, Scotty apologizes to a security guard while on the USS Vengeance before he opens the airlock to allow Kirk and Khan to enter the ship and let the guard exit the same way. |

Fox is genuinely grateful for the gesture, but later when they're both in public, she tackles him and pretends to steal the Walkman. She leans in close and apologizes for the beating, but says she can't have anyone, especially not her idiot brothers, finding out that she accepted a gift from the boy she's supposedly bullying. | |

Rise of the Third Power: Sparrow has a habit of apologizing to the people they're about to kill and even says a prayer for them to find peace with Empyrea. Later encounters reveal that they're genuinely sorry about their misdeeds, but they feel trapped in serving Arkadya as a spy. | |

The M*A*S*H episode "Dear Sis" centered around Father Mulcahy feeling guilty for punching out an uncooperative and combative patient. Mulcahy's actions would be reasonably justified by the regular morals of planet Earth, especially since the other guy punched him first and Mulcahy decked him in self-defence. And the guy might have died if Mulcahy did nothing. Did the guy, perhaps, feel grateful for this afterward? Of course not. | |

Superman: In Superman Family #173, Jimmy Olsen realizes that Superman is infected with the virus that is wreaking havoc through Kandor. He mentally says "Sorry for what I'm about to do, pal" before knocking him out. In The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Superman apologizes to her brainwashed cousin when he is forced to fight her. In the Red Daughter of Krypton storyline, Supergirl's temper overwhelms her every so often and she has to apologize after hurting someone or destroying something accidentally. In the Bizarrogirl story arc, Supergirl apologizes to Jimmy Olsen after blowing him away, and to Dr. Light before knocking her out and making off with her Bizarro clone. In War World, Mongul forces Superman and Martian Manhunter to fight each other: Kal-El pleads with J'onn not to force him to fight back. At the same time, J'onn regrets fighting him. After winning, Kal keeps saying he's sorry: In Let My People Grow!, Superman manages to enlarge the Kandorians shrunk by Brainiac, but their city crumbles down. When Superman says he wants to stay and help rebuild Kandor, Van-Zee thanks him. Then, apologizing for rejecting his selfless gesture, Van punches Superman out and asks Supergirl to take him away, since they need to succeed on their own. In The Planet Eater Trilogy, Superman apologizes before grabbing Brainiac and tossing him into his own planet-sized super-weapon. |

Despinis from Super Robot Wars Reversal is not just chronically shy, she always says "I'm sorry" before blasting you to smithereens or beating you to a pulp. True to that, when she joins your party in OG Gaiden, she seems to be more proficient at support skills rather than direct combat. | |

Kim Possible: Lampshaded and subverted in one episode. In another episode Ron tries to make himself a better hero by using a cybernetic suit, only for it — and thus his body — to fall under villainous control. Besides apologizing as they attack each other, he and Kim also have a discussion about their relationship and the insecurities that made Ron think this was necessary in the first place while dodging each other's blows. |

Galen Cox apologizes to Victor Steiner Davion just before he punches him in the jaw in the BattleTech cartoon. Not only is Galen, a Hauptmann, punching his superior officer, a Kommandant, he's just knocked out the Crown Prince he swore loyalty to, albeit on the (very understandable) orders of a general who wants to evacuate Victor from the world before he can be captured or killed when a battle turns against them very badly and Victor refuses to leave the unit behind. | |

Xenosaga: In Episode I, one of MOMO's battle end sayings is "I'm sorry, are you okay?" If they collapsed in a shower of blood, they are pretty far from "okay." Chaos is a more extreme case of this. In certain cases during battle in the second episode, he'll quickly say sorry before attacking. In Episode I, however, he has a pre-battle and battle-end quote in which he prays for the enemy's soul. |

Extraordinary Attorney Woo: In the episode "The Pied Piper," the defendant commandeered a school bus full of children as part of a political protest against abusive schools and teachers, and did so by drugging the bus driver's tea. When he meets the bus driver in court later, he very politely apologizes and admits he put him in a very bad spot, and he hopes he can understand why he did it. Hilariously, the bus driver does a Double Take at this and can only stammer out, "That's alright," clearly not expecting the kidnapper who drugged him to be so cordial. | |

Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed enacts this trope through Casi. She is likely to say sorry with her spinning Stun Club attack. The game mentions that nobody suffers real damage in the virtual world, but she's just really nice.

It starts when he rips a woman's shirt off because his hand sticks to the fabric. A couple of guys take a swing at him, but they trigger Peter's spider-sense and he reflexively knocks them to the ground, apologizing each time. A few more people try the same thing and get the same result, apologies and all. | |

In Slay the Princess, the Narrator pulls a Grand Theft Me and forces you to attack the Princess if you free her. If you keep trying to help/warn her despite the Narrator's insistence, the Princess will realize what's going on and her subtitles turn back to pink as she apologizes for being forced to kill you. The second demo turns this up to eleven, with the Princess openly sobbing as she stabs you (if you didn't take the pristine blade) or the Princess coldly making your death quick with a Slashed Throat (if you did). | |

In Monster's Ball, this occurred between actors Halle Berry and Coronji Calhoun during filming. Berry's character Leticia would physically and emotionally abuse her young son Tyrell—Calhoun's character—for being obese, but Berry felt awful shooting those scenes because Calhoun really was overweight and she was worried what kind of effect this would have on him. She always hugged and kissed him after filming and assured him that he was beautiful. | |

Sword of Truth: It turns out that this is the real way to use the eponymous Sword of Truth. Holding onto pure anger will get some mileage out of it, but holding onto pure forgiveness will cut through magical defenses. Naturally, true forgiveness is pretty hard to not express to some extent. YMMV on this one, as the first example overlaps with Stockholm Syndrome. It makes sense in context. | |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy, the two cops who let loose fusillades upon fusillades of Kill-O-Zap guns on our protagonists try to make it absolutely clear that they're really quite sensitive and intelligent guys and "firmly opposed to needless violence," and they most definitely don't enjoy gratuitously shooting up people. From the rules of Brockian Ultra-Cricket, as briefly summarized in Life, the Universe and Everything: |

Iji: In the prologue before the game starts, an alien invasion kills Iji's father and little sister and almost the whole human population, but even after she is transformed into a nanomachine-powered cyborg, she has no desire to kill her attackers and says a grief-stricken "I'm sorry..." when killing an enemy. This gets reversed if you shoot everything you see, however, which makes her yell "Why don't you just DIE!" or similar when shooting them. | |

In Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, the only way to calm down a Mudokan who has been exposed to laughing gas is to give them a good hard slap. Slap them again and they get "angry" and have to be apologized to, or else they will refuse to listen to any instructions and even slap you (or any other nearby Mudokan) back. If you slap a "sad" Mudokan, you better apologize fast, or they will let out a pitiful little "no..." and start beating themselves to death with their own hands. | |

The Secret World: Players receive a personal apology from the mysterious CEO of Faust Capital right before his boss battle; as much as he likes his newest guests, he's bound by contract to obey Samael's orders without question, and his master wants the players stopped at all costs. For good measure, said CEO is none other than Mephistopheles himself. During one of the Halloween 2013 missions, it's discovered that Ellis Hill actually left an apology note on the corpse of the real Ellis Hill, claiming that "you put a man in the ground, you owe him an explanation for why." |

Tyrion sobs that he is sorry after strangling his former lover Shae to death, once he finds her in Tywin's bed and she attacks him. Stannis asks forgiveness for what he's about to do in "The Dance of Dragons." Qyburn makes sure to tell Pycelle that it's Nothing Personal before having a group of creepy children stab him to death, saying that he regrets it but feels it necessary. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Adventure 2: One of the alternate playable characters in multiplayer is Tikal. Every time she uses a special attack, she might say "I'm sorry." Also from the same game, Knuckles apologizes to Rouge for going rough on her following their fight (after she returns the Master Emeralds shards to him). Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity has Blaze, sort of. She sometimes says "Sorry" a bit timidly when she passes other racers. Funny how she doesn't when she hits others with an attack item. |

Pixie and Brutus: Played for Laughs. Pixie is absolutely distraught at the notion that she might have hurt Brutus after she playfully throws a tiny toy batarang at him that doesn't even make him flinch. In another comic, she makes sure to ask Randal the raccoon if he's okay after she "tackled" him while playing cops-and-robbers (i.e. she leapt harmlessly onto Randal's back, Brutus growled menacingly at him, and the raccoon hastily played along and pretended Pixie "got" him). |

Fullmetal Alchemist In Fullmetal Alchemist episode 36, Edward says sorry to Kain Fuery after punching him out. In the original manga: Maria Ross apologized in advance before and after slapping Ed across the face for going into Laboratory 5 on his own. Justified since Ed's higher in rank than Maria and could give her and Denny Brosh their walking orders if he wanted to (of course, he doesn't). Hohenheim apologises before he stabs Izumi Curtis with his hand, although given his relationship with it, it's possible that he was apologising to his philosopher's stone. |

Team Fortress 2: The Engineer might apologize when killing a Pyro. This is mainly because Pyros are the natural Spy killers, and Engineers hate Spies. On Halloween maps with a wheel, Merasmus will occasionally coat both teams in Jarate... and interrupt his constant gloating to apologize for doing that. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The Return of Harmony, Part 2", Fluttershy is ordered to restrain a brainwashed Rainbow Dash, and proceeds to fly up to the sleeping Rainbow and... gently awaken her, then ask "I'm just wondering if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit." Twilight Sparkle's reaction is predictable. | |

The Doctor Who game Eye of the TARDIS from the BBC's website involves the Doctor's consciousness being trapped in the TARDIS computer, and the player is charged with the task of defeating virtual avatars of the Doctor's enemies (by jumping on them to destroy them), and gathering energy crystals so that he can escape. The game features David Tennant's voice, as the Doctor says "Sorry, I'm so sorry" to each enemy avatar as it is destroyed. By the time you get to the fourth level, he is saying this as he destroys Daleks. | |

Thoroughbreds: After a falling out with her friend Amanda, Lily invites her over a few days later and fixes her a drink. However, she suddenly tells Amanda to stop drinking, and confesses to having spiked it with Rohypnol. Amanda is stunned, and Lily admits that she planned to wait until Amanda passed out, then go upstairs and kill Mark, leaving the weapon in Amanda's hand. Lily clearly regrets the plan, admitting she doesn't know what she was thinking, and apologizes to Amanda, promising she'll find another way... and then Amanda grabs the drink and chugs the rest of it, telling Lily to go ahead and carry out the original plan. | |

He's entirely innocent of this crime, but she stabs him to death during a Deadly Hug while sobbing, "I'm sorry!" At the end, a hallucination of Aki asks Maggie if she really is sorry.

At the end of of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you'll end up having to battle against, depending on the version, Professor Sada or Turo, or rather, their Ridiculously Human Robot double, who is programmed to stop anyone who attempts to shut down the original Professor's time machine. The robot themself is actually a Benevolent A.I. who wishes to stop the summoning of Pokémon from the distant past or future due to the danger they are to present day Pokémon, and as such warn you preemptively that starting the time machine's shutdown protocol will forcibly override their programming to make them fight you. | |

A variant occurs in Perfect Blue. Mima's coworker isn't really attacking her, and she knows it; they're actors filming a TV show, and his character sexually assaults hers. Even though there's no real danger, it's emotionally taxing and a highly unpleasant experience for Mima, and during a pause in filming, the other actor whispers, "I'm so sorry," implying it's upsetting him as well. | |

Soul Series: Sophitia exclaims "I'm sorry!" after using the widow maker attack on a male opponent. Talim is another example of this trope, apologizing during even basic attacks. Soulcalibur IV has voices for custom characters which say stuff like that also. Siegfried as well, moreso during his stint as The Atoner in III and IV. Considering that he once served time as the Big Bad (thanks to Soul Edge), this is understandable. Patrokolos from Soulcalibur V says "I'm sorry" quite often when fighting against his sister Pyrrha, who herself does this a lot due to being manipulated by Tira into becoming a killing machine (and a suitable vessel for Soul Edge). |

Star Wars Legends: X-Wing Series: Iella Wesseri's husband, thought to be dead for two years, was found in a prison when the New Republic captured Coruscant. Iella was delighted to have him back, and although he seemed quieter and weaker than he had been before this he was also glad to see her again. Later Iella, being a New Republic Intelligence officer, was assigned to escort an Imperial informant to safety only for her husband to shoot the informant and try to kill her. She shoots her husband, and as he's dying she finds that during his long absence Isard turned him into a Manchurian Agent. Surprisingly, he doesn't say the word "sorry" at all during that, but regret is pretty heavy throughout what he says to her. Jedi Apprentice has a friend betray Obi-Wan for selfish reasons, though he'd still considered the young Jedi to be a friend. Obi-Wan responds to his apologies with "Save your sorrow. I don't need it." |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: "Colonel Sanders" in the Tournament Arc apologizes for using overpowered tactics and cheap tricks (that would be downright cheating if there were any rules) in battle. He's sorry for beating you up, but he just has to reach the final match. Sayo also does this; she starts off her attack by warning her enemies of the imminent danger. Earlier than that is when Negi and Asuna attempt to take out Chachamaru when she's alone, Negi really doesn't want to, to the point where he can't bring himself to do it and blows himself up instead. |

Street Fighter: Rose will frequently ask her opponent, "Are you hurt?" or "Are you all right?" This trope is much more prominent in her Fighting Your Friend situations. Not as straight of an example, but Chun-Li's "gomen ne" taunt translates to "I'm sorry!" Abel from Street Fighter IV straight up says "I'm sorry..." in one of his not-personalized victory quotes. In the pre-fight cut scene for Asuka and Lili's rival match with Cammy and Chun-Li in Street Fighter X Tekken, Asuka apologizes in advance for having to knock the two women out in order to keep them quiet. |

Breaking Bad: During an early episode, Walt breaks down crying and apologizing after more-or-less being forced to kill a captive drug dealer. In season 5, Walt apologizes to Mike after fatally shooting him when he realizes the information Mike refused to give him could have been easily gotten from Lydia. Mike just tells him to "Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace". While it's not verbalized, Jesse's Tears of Remorse when he shoots Gale clearly convey this. After Hank Schrader's murder at the hands of Jack Welker, Jack's nephew Todd Alquist has this to say to the man they spared: "Sorry for your loss". |

BlazBlue: Even though she threatens to kill Noel if she doesn't return to her post at first in Continuum Shift, Tsubaki surprisingly ends up holding back and even begs for forgiveness whether she wins or loses. She also forgives her for the trouble she got her into since Noel is her friend, and therefore, she knows that she didn't want to fight against her. Also, surprisingly enough, Tsubaki knew that she could never defeat her even though she didn't hold back. Then again, in fact, she herself didn't even know that Hazama was only using her to hurt her deeply enough to awaken the true successor to the Azure from within her... which, of course, causes Noel to fly into a rage and refuse to forgive him when she realizes it during her encounter with him. Litchi also has this line in her winquote against Bang because she thought he was a pervert but didn't know that he was really trying to impress her. In general, Litchi also counts. As she is a doctor and a very benevolent one, she really wouldn't like to fight unless the situation is really severe. A lot of her win quotes had her apologizing to her enemies, and in the Arcade Mode, she was clearly sorry for having to force her way through by beating her colleague Tager. She also goes so far as practically apologizing to Platinum if she beats her, or was beaten in Platinum's story. And she also did this to Rachel in Rachel's story if she beat Rachel, apologizing about how she just beat her and still had to stick with NOL against Rachel's suggestion. By Chronophantasma, she does this even more often. Justified that as much as she's sticking with NOL, she's not very pleased with the prospect of beating those she deemed decent and friends with, but is Forced into Evil. In fact, she's mostly borderline crying in win quotes to some close friends, like Bang. |

A variation in Soylent Green. The assassin sent to kill William Simonson at the start of the movie relays an apologetic message from the men who hired him (implied to be fellow board members of the Soylent Corporation). The assassin himself has no idea what the message means and is just doing what he's been told. | |
