Lima Syndrome is the phenomenon in which abductors develop sympathy for their captives, named after the abduction of the Japanese Ambassador's Residence in Lima, Peru in 1996 by members of a terrorist group. Within a few days, the hostage-takers set free most of the captives, including the most valuable ones, due to sympathy; and the ones who were supposed to kill the hostages in the event of an assault could not bring themselves to do it. It is essentially the inverse of Stockholm Syndrome.
There are a number of reasons why this would happen. Maybe one or more of the kidnappers don't agree with the plan, or they just don't feel up to hurting innocents. Maybe the villain has decided that he doesn't have the heart to keep his prisoner locked up. Or maybe he's just doing what's necessary, and generally feels bad about it. He probably has nothing against his captive, and thus holds no negative opinion of them. Perhaps the hostage's family and associates turned out to be so indifferent that the kidnapper was disgusted and changed sides.
This person is also likely to be the one in charge of tending to the captives, bringing them food or healing their wounds, and thus has a greater chance of developing an attachment and growing to actually care about their well-being. Alternatively, the captor could simply be a Minion with an F in Evil or an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain.
Or it may be that one of the prisoners is particularly prone to inspiring sympathy. See Pregnant Hostage for a specific example of this type of character.
In many stories, this type of behavior will often foreshadow a Heel–Face Turn. A captive trying to artificially induce this might use a Kirk Summation.
See Stockholm Syndrome for the reverse situation. The two may often go hand in hand if the feelings are mutual between the abductor and their captive. Related is Predator Turned Protector: they, for some reason, choose to protect their prey rather than, well, preying on them, similarly to this trope's caring towards their captive. Any plot featuring The Svengali (for whom Lima Syndrome is effectively an occupational hazard) tends to have some of both. Compare and contrast Pity the Kidnapper, in which the kidnapper lets the captive go because they're just too annoying.
Keep in mind that these two syndromes depend on who falls in love first—if the captor is kind to their captive with no manipulative intent, and releases them, it is Lima Syndrome even if they fall in love afterwards.

John Rain: In The Detachment, Dox and Rain are betrayed by their employer Colonel Horton, so they kidnap his daughter for ransom. Dox releases the woman early because he's worried a Token Evil Teammate will kill her regardless, and Dox and the hostage have a discussion over Stockholm Syndrome, pointing out that "it works both ways". At the end of the novel, Dox persuades Rain not to take vengeance on Horton like they planned, saying his daughter has suffered enough from their acts.

The Adventure Time episode "What Have You Done?" may count as an example, because Finn and Jake let the captured Ice King go and go into his prison themselves. The Ice King had been truthfully claiming not to have committed any crimes recently, but Finn and Jake thinking that they deserve the imprisonment more than he does is a little drastic.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit:
In "Blast", a hostage-taker accidentally shoots his father, seriously injuring him. Immediately, he goes from being callous and uncaring to worrying about his father's condition, eventually leading him to attempt Suicide by Cop out of guilt.
In "Hell", Elijah, a Ugandan refugee takes hostages when he learns his asylum claim has been denied and he's going to be deported. Elijah was forced into military service and because of his desperation not to hurt anyone else, Elliot barely has to do any convincing before he agrees to release the hostages. In fact, he gets upset when one of the hostages (a priest) insists on staying behind to ensure Elijah gets out safely.

In Suikoden V, Lucretia Merces is locked away for political reasons. By the time the hero gets to her, the guards outside her cell have all become fanatically loyal to her (and in the case of the woman guard, more than loyal), and no longer have any loyalty at all to their actual employer.

In The Silmarillion, Maedhros and Maglor take captive Elrond and Elros, who are only children, but Maglor (or Maedhros in some versions) ends up fostering them. Maedhros and Maglor are reluctant villains. Maedhros in particular deeply regrets the murder of the boys' uncles when they too were children. Maglor is more of a tortured artist who just doesn't like all the killing. May be invoked, since Elrond and Elros inherited Lúthien's magical manipulation powers.

Fire Emblem:
In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light games, General Camus has this towards Princess Nyna. While he kept her captive to save her life after the slaughter of her family, he did put his knighthood on the line to take her to an allied kingdom before she could be executed. This causes him to lose a lot of influence in his kingdom, but he stubbornly refused to abandon his king, even when Nyna begs him to side with the League. It doesn't end well.
Fire Emblem Fates:
The Avatar was kidnapped as a young child from the Hoshido royal family and raised (kept in a fortress) by the Nohrian royal family. The Nohrian royal siblings, who have grown up in a cruel Decadent Court, grow very fond (a little too fond in Camilla's case) of the Avatar and come to see them as a fellow sibling. They actually expect the Avatar to side with them in a war against their birth family (actually stepfamily) from Hoshido, and it depends on the player whether it happens or not.
It can be said that the aforementioned Hoshido siblings developed a similar bond with Azura, a princess from the Nohrian royal family by adoption who was abducted from their side and raised by the Hoshidan royal family. They consider her their sibling just like the kidnapped Avatar (the closest to an exception would be Prince Takumi, and even he couldn't fully resist it), and while Azura also loves them greatly, she sees herself as a Replacement Goldfish of the Avatar; in the Birthright path, she openly wonders about it and they tell her that she's a part of the family.

Anazapta (aka Black Plague). The protagonist Lady Matilda Mellerby is hoping to ransom a French knight her men have captured in exchange for her husband. Her (much older) husband has been away fighting for years and it's implied he hasn't been sleeping with her even when he's home. It doesn't help their UST that she keeps having to save his life from locals who want to kill him for various reasons.

The Book of Revelation: Daniel attempts to bond with the woman among his kidnappers who anally raped him, asking her name and that she show him her face. She almost does before one of the others comes in. It's pretty clearly in hopes of identifying her, as Daniel had seen she has a large crimson birthmark on her right buttock prior to this.

In Project ARMS, Keith Green falls in love with Katsumi and eventually tries to rescue her from the Egrigori, dying in the process. Possibly justified, in that she was the first human he really got to know, along with the fact that she was genuinely kind to him (seeing him as a rescuer and not a jailer).

The World Is Not Enough combines this with Stockholm Syndrome in the case of Elektra King, and then in reality the hostage was a Manipulative Bastard and seduced their captor, then allied with them to plan and carry out their schemes of revenge and nuclear terrorism. It stands out from most other examples because the Lima Syndrome doesn't make the captor more sympathetic, it reveals the captive was evil and the hostage-taker ends up getting enrolled in even more evil stuff (though, as the captor was already a psychopathic terrorist, that's not really saying much).

In Grand Theft Auto V, Trevor ends up falling for Patricia Madrazo, the 56-year-old wife of Martín Madrazo, a cartel boss and Patricia's abusive husband. Trevor kidnaps her and cuts Martín's ear off, and he eventually removes her bindings and lets her roam around his trailer. She cleans the trailer and works on his garden, but never tries to escape, and Trevor eventually admits he loves her. Trevor is eventually forced to return Patricia to Martín in order to pacify Martín, but not before threatening him with further injury if he is still mean to Patricia. A number of emails and calls sent to Trevor by Patricia (as well as some steamy photos of them mentioned in the Cayo Perico heist) indicate it wasn't one-sided.

In Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Belle agrees to be the Beast's prisoner in exchange for letting her father go. When he puts her happiness ahead of his own, he eventually lets her go too. She returns to him later to help him, but this is because HE has made the greater change. By the film's own admission it was he who first fell in love with her, and so Lima Syndrome is more prevalent than the Stockholm Syndrome some believe is at work. It is worth noting that the animated movie takes place over several months, and that the Beast was only abusive the first night Belle was there, as he goes through Character Development shortly afterwards.

In Horrible Bosses II, the characters discuss the concept that, as kidnappers, they may develop a tendency to be too friendly with their hostage. They almost get to the point of naming the trope; only no character present had heard of a name like "Lima syndrome," so they called it call it "reverse Stockholm Syndrome."

It is implied he slowly develops feelings for another kidnapped girl in his care, Sheba. Thankfully, Felix is the protagonist of the second game and his ultimate goal is noble, so Sheba comes along quite willingly from the start of Lost Age and is a playable character.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017): When Olaf and his henchmen hold Sunny hostage in the third season premiere, the Hook-Handed Man (who already showed a bit of a soft spot for her in previous episodes) develops this for her. He makes sure she has warm clothes to wear, helps her with the chores Olaf forces her to do, and in general tries to run interference when Olaf and Esme attempt to abuse her. In-universe, this trope is called Mount Fraught Syndrome after the location where Sunny is held.

In Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo and his family genuinely come to love the village's hostage Ikemefuna who lives under their roof. Ikemefuna in turn calls Okonkwo "father". Then the village leaders decide Ikemefuna has outlived his usefulness. The proud Okonkwo joins the group that will kill Ikemefuna because he doesn't want to appear weak, even after one of his friends warns him that killing someone who was like a son to him would damn him. When the other warriors start attacking Ikemefuna, he runs to Okonkwo for help. Okonkwo panics and cuts him down to avoid looking weak. Okonkwo spends most of the next few days drunk. It's implied that this murder caused the bad luck that eventually dooms Okonkwo, just as his friend said it would.

Ruthless People: Ken and Sandy try to get back at the man who ruined their life, Sam Stone (Danny Devito) by kidnapping his wife Barbara (Bette Midler) and demand a ransom, but since he's been planning to off her anyway, he refuses (hoping that they'll do the job for him). As they try to figure out what to do instead, and Barbara realizes her husband's true colors, they become friends.

In Disgaea 2, Adell's mother accidentally summons Overlord Zenon's daughter Rozalin, and the summoning forces her to follow him "until Adell meets the real Overlord Zenon". Adell promises to take her back to her father because he needs to defeat Zenon. A mutual Stockholm/Lima Syndrome ensues, followed by lots and lots of Belligerent Sexual Tension.

Avengers: Infinity War:
Thanos shows a startling amount of affection for Gamora, his adoptive daughter whom he raised and trained to be one of the deadliest warriors alive. Gamora is understandably not appreciative since Thanos was the one who slaughtered half the people of her homeworld including her parents and her upbringing was Training from Hell that pitted her against her fellow adoptive sibling Nebula. Despite this, she still weeps when she thinks she has slain him, indicating a Stockholm Syndrome on her part. Thanos' love for Gamora, even though it's abusive and possessive in nature, is real enough that he sheds tears when he realizes that sacrificing her is the only way he can obtain the Soul Stone.
This is very much not the case with the aforementioned Nebula. Thanos has no qualms about torturing her to get Gamora to talk, and the only reason he doesn't kill her afterwards is that he thought it would be a "waste of parts". The reason she has so many cybernetics is that Thanos took away her body parts every time she lost to Gamora during their training sessions.

The players should develop a lesser form of this in both PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2. Killing civilians gains the group nothing, costs a large amount of money, and causes the police to hold you longer if you get captured (no civilian kills means the police will trade you after 5 seconds, just one civilian kill makes them hold you for 30 seconds more). Some fans have already developed sympathy for "Bobblehead Bob", the civilian in the Big Bank trailer who falls off the roof trying to catch a stack of money Dallas throws him.

Fire Emblem Fates:
The Avatar was kidnapped as a young child from the Hoshido royal family and raised (kept in a fortress) by the Nohrian royal family. The Nohrian royal siblings, who have grown up in a cruel Decadent Court, grow very fond (a little too fond in Camilla's case) of the Avatar and come to see them as a fellow sibling. They actually expect the Avatar to side with them in a war against their birth family (actually stepfamily) from Hoshido, and it depends on the player whether it happens or not.
It can be said that the aforementioned Hoshido siblings developed a similar bond with Azura, a princess from the Nohrian royal family by adoption who was abducted from their side and raised by the Hoshidan royal family. They consider her their sibling just like the kidnapped Avatar (the closest to an exception would be Prince Takumi, and even he couldn't fully resist it), and while Azura also loves them greatly, she sees herself as a Replacement Goldfish of the Avatar; in the Birthright path, she openly wonders about it and they tell her that she's a part of the family.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light games, General Camus has this towards Princess Nyna. While he kept her captive to save her life after the slaughter of her family, he did put his knighthood on the line to take her to an allied kingdom before she could be executed. This causes him to lose a lot of influence in his kingdom, but he stubbornly refused to abandon his king, even when Nyna begs him to side with the League. It doesn't end well.

Implied to have happened along with Stockholm Syndrome in the backstory to A Brother's Price. The Whistlers didn't let Prince Alannon go — since the rest of his family was executed and he was reported missing, he decided to be philosophical about it — but they did "run themselves ragged" doing what they could to make him happy.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
In Avatar: The Last Airbender, when Iroh is imprisoned, the female guard Ming shows sympathy towards him, even sneaking in his favorite tea for him. It even has its own ship! And when Iroh escapes, he tells Ming to not be there, and Ming clearly understands why, but says nothing and isn't present when he breaks out.
In The Legend of Korra, Ikki is captured by two Earth Empire soldiers, who originally plan to find her siblings and deliver all three to Kuvira. However, Ikki is both sneaky and legitimately friendly enough that, as she talks to them more, they seem to forget their previous idea and actually give her information that helps her on her mission to find Korra. When her siblings bust her out, she feels so bad about them getting knocked around that she leaves them a couple of buns in thanks.

The Venture Brothers:
In "Dia de los Dangerous," the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend end up acting downright parental to the captive Hank and Dean after Dr. Venture doesn't respond to their (numerous) ransom demands.
During a flashback in the episode "Spanakopita!," a young Rusty Venture is accidentally kidnapped by Greek pirates. When his father, Jonas Venture Sr., doesn't respond to their ransom demands, the pirates throw the distraught Rusty (who they felt bad for due to his neglectful father) a festival complete with games.

Faked by Hans Gruber in Die Hard: He takes the time to listen to Holly when she acts as liaison for the rest of the hostages, and tries to make them as comfortable as possible, providing a sofa for a pregnant woman and so forth. Since he's planning on blowing them all up, this is apparently just an attempt to keep them quiet and obedient, and maybe trigger some Stockholm Syndrome, if possible.

In Farscape, Wild Card Crais steals Talyn (a newborn Living Sapient Ship) simply as a means of getting away from two different groups of people who want to do painful things to him. However, after he forms a technopathic connection with Talyn, he soon comes to genuinely care for him. Despite their continued distrust of Crais in general, the sympathetic characters quickly accept and respect the attachment between the two of them.

In Island of the Aunts, the titular aunts become quite fond of the children they have kidnapped. Of course, the aunts didn't view it as kidnapping, they just needed help with their work, and kidnapping some kids that were neglected by the parents, anyway, seemed like an easy solution. They eventually come to realize that they should let the children go.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the Starks treated their "ward" (read: hostage) Theon Grejoy almost as if he were one of the family. Robb in particular thought of Theon as a sworn brother. They and Theon seemed to have forgotten that Ned is supposed to chop his head off if Theon's father Balon steps out of line. Robb then makes the fatal mistake of letting Theon go back to the Iron Islands to propose an alliance between the Starks and the Greyjoys, despite their well-deserved reputation as backstabbers. By letting Theon go, he just lost the insurance that was supposed to keep Balon in check. Even worse, being separated from the Starks allowed Theon to see the reality of his situation as a glorified prisoner whose life was always implicitly being threatened. The sudden yet inevitable betrayal ultimately leads to Robb's death.

Sniper Wolf's affection towards Otacon in Metal Gear Solid was specifically stated to be Lima Syndrome by Word of God, though they had already become friends before Foxhound took over and made the facilities personnel their hostages.

In Marilith, while Stockholm Syndrome is clearly not the main influence on Kimiko (who Jumped at the Call to be a hostage and wants to be an assassin herself), its counterpart Lima Syndrome definitely seems to be in play on her 'captor' Marilith. Over the course of Krakow 2.0 she goes from unceasingly annoyed by her hostage Kimiko to willing to sign on with Valentino if she'll wait long enough for Marilith to get Kimiko's arm fixed, giving up on her dream of retirement. And then when Valentino explains she's just going to kill Kimiko, Marilith flings herself back into the fight despite being down a toe, gushing blood, and armed only with the two halves of baby Jesus (It Makes Sense in Context).

In Game of Thrones, Sandor Clegane is repeatedly an example of this syndrome. First, with Sansa Stark, the ward of his liege family's. This is especially notable because of the circumstances: Sansa's father was killed for charges of treason by King Joffrey, and she is practically a prisoner in the Red Keep. As he increasingly begins to fall out with the Lannister family, Sandor shows a desire to protect Sansa. Keep in mind that she is just a 12-year-old. The second example is when Sandor leaves the Lannisters for good, and kidnaps Arya Stark, Sansa's younger sister, for ransom. As they are trekking across the lands of Westeros, ravaged by war, Sandor again shows a willingness to protect the girl, and even bond with her, even if it is in his own world-weary way. It looks like Arya is starting to bond with him in return, but that turns out not to be the case — though she does start to sympathise with him, her hatred for him due to Mycah's death and her contempt for his more petty actions (such as robbing the poor farmer) mean that she is not quite able to truly make peace with him. Ultimately, she grants him Cruel Mercy because he wants to be given a Mercy Kill, and Arya doesn't want him going out on his own terms given all the things he'd done up until then. Him being an example of this syndrome is at odds with the way his character was initially presented, as a big, hulking, merciless brute.

In Tangled In Time Ganondorf deliberately invoked Stockholm Syndrome by kidnapping and raising a young Link, successfully having the child think of him as his father. Since he raised Link from infancy, he developed paternal feelings for Link and does think of him as a son.

Without a Trace: In one episode, a ransom drop goes wrong, and the kidnapper winds up taking a bookstore full of hostages. He only holds any animosity to one of them (the woman who did the drop, who took his late wife's job after her death on 9/11), but he doesn't even actually know her and is more angry at her boss (the initial kidnapping victim). He's just a grieving, frustrated man who's made bad choices and gotten in over his head, so he quickly bonds with the hostages and is easily convinced to release most of them without concession.

The First Doctor to his (kidnapped) schoolteacher companions Ian and Barbara early in Doctor Who. It becomes apparent at the end of The Edge of Destruction when he apologizes to Barbara for how he treated her and Ian: "As we learn about each other, so we learn a bit about ourselves." By the time they part ways with him in The Chase, he's genuinely sad to see them go.

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle: One of the means by which the manga turns the "captured princess waiting for the hero to rescue her" plot on its head is having the demons grow genuinely attached to the Princess. The situation eventually reaches a point where some of the demons are fighting the hero in part because they've realized that he's the Abhorrent Admirer childhood friend the Princess keeps complaining about and/or they don't want the Princess to leave.

In Pain & Gain, Paul shows fairly early on that he's less bad than Daniel and Adrian due to his interactions with their victim Victor. While Daniel and Adrian proceed to torture the guy during their guard shifts to extort him, Paul instead gives him stuff to eat, reads to him, and tries to convert him to Christianity in a misguided attempt to "help" the half-Jewish Victor. When Victor tries to make a break for it Paul beats him to the ground however, as he has no delusions that it's not a genuine kidnapping.

She shows some hints of feeling the same since she does stick around to listen to him whine and occasionally fall asleep on top of him. After her death, he Bridal Carries her body around until he's also killed.

However, Ikki is both sneaky and legitimately friendly enough that, as she talks to them more, they seem to forget their previous idea and actually give her information that helps her on her mission to find Korra. When her siblings bust her out, she feels so bad about them getting knocked around that she leaves them a couple of buns in thanks.

Happens relatively often in Flashpoint:
In "Just A Man", a prisoner puts himself in harm's way to protect two civilians caught in the middle of a prison riot, despite the fact that their entire reason for being there had been to prevent him from getting parole.
Both this and Stockholm Syndrome come into play in "Who's George". The hostage-taker begins to feel for his captive (the woman he had initially blamed for the loss of his job), and she in turn tries to talk him out of his plan to commit suicide for an insurance payout.

One of the heroes, Jono, ends up befriending Hannibal and starts seeing him as a woobie and an unfortunate, innocent victim of the Alliance's power play, and this eventually makes him confront the other heroes about the issue and when his arguments fail, he breaks Hannibal out of the dungeon and flees with him to Glaurung's headquarters.

The Bridge: The Dark Hunters and the Sirens gradually become very warm and friendly toward Princess Twilight, who is their captive. Granted the only reason they kidnapped her was that they mistakenly assumed she was the one who crippled Sonata and stole her necklace. The only reason they kept her captive once they learned the truth is because they want to deter retaliation from Twilight's kaiju allies. Twilight herself wins them over with her honest sympathy toward Sonata's plight, and her desire to help them find her human self. After a week, several of the group are nothing but jovial to her.

Dragon Ball Z:
Piccolo eventually came to care for Gohan (the kid he abducted and put through Training from Hell to prepare for an alien invasion), leading up to his Heel–Face Turn, which was more surprising because "Redemption Through Helpfulness" hadn't become the signature trope of the series yet. All the more notable given that Piccolo's role in the previous story arc was roughly analogous to Satan.
While he doesn't really understand that he is really keeping Mr. Satan prisoner (though Hercule is trying to kill him and volunteered to be his servant to get that chance) and is a threat to all life Buu becomes genuinely attached to Satan and sees him as his friend, and later comes to care for all life thanks to Hercule's help. Once Buu decides to adopt Bee, even Hercule begins to feel a friendship towards his 'captor', which ultimately culminates in Buu defending Satan and Bee multiple times before finally losing all control when Van Zant attempts to murder Hercule.

One of them is an Ax-Crazy murderer who talks about needing to kill her since she's seen his face, but the other one does everything he can to prevent her from getting hurt. In the end, he gives up his opportunity to escape with the loot so that he can pull a Big Damn Heroes and rescue the girl and her mother (who had come pretty close to killing him a couple of times) from his deranged accomplice.

In Grendel, Susan Veraghen falls in love with Crystal Kennedy while acting as her main guard. However, this was in such a Gilded Cage that Susan herself may not have realised that she was meant to be keeping Crystal a prisoner rather than acting as her bodyguard.
