Reformed Bully	comment	A mean kid from school or the neighborhood, who treated people like dirt and ruled over the class with an iron fist turns up again. They were petty, judgmental, quick to shove other hapless students in their own lockers or slander them to their faces, and now they're... apologizing? Yep, that grade-A pain in the neck has seemingly turned over a new leaf. The reason varies from person to person. Maybe their victims gave them a taste of their own medicine. Or they graduated and realized the real world isn't as easy as they thought it would be in school.note In many cases, though not all, they reform after having a few years of adult life under their belt. Probably they did some soul-searching, became more enlightened or matured significantly, and realized that's not the person they want to be. Perhaps they were just tired of being mean. No matter what reason, they are trying to change for the better. Of course, not everyone is likely to forgive them, and they probably wouldn't blame them if they didn't. There may be moments where they slip back into their scheming ways but they'll usually catch themselves in time before they do anything too awful. And of course just because they are nicer doesn't mean they lose their biting wit. (That is, if they had any in the first place.) Also, if they're still a bit of a jerk despite changing their ways, then they fall into Reformed, but Not Tamed. Often overlaps with The Atoner and may be the ultimate goal of a Redemption Quest. If the former bully somehow doesn't feel sorry for his past actions but stopped for some other reasons, he can be the child version of Retired Monster, unreformed on the inside and without repentance and only changing in the acts. Another overlapping trope is Bully Turned Buddy, where the bully may not be reformed, but does manage to befriend their former victim. If they were initially mean and horrible... and didn't get any nicer (if not worse) as they got older, they're the Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up. Compare Former Teen Rebel, where the character may have been rebellious but wasn't necessarily mean or a bully. Also compare and contrast to the Lovable Alpha Bitch, who has enough nice qualities to balance out the bad ones, and the Lovable Jock and Dumb Jock, since the former is just a Nice Guy all around and the latter is probably too stupid to be mean. If they were always reluctant about bullying, see Peer-Pressured Bully. Compare also the Former Bigot whose Jerkass behavior from an earlier time came from bias and hatred of a categorical class and which have since been renounced. Contrast Used to Be a Sweet Kid when they start off a decent, kind individual, but then progressively took several levels in Jerkass maybe becoming an Evil Former Friend or may have even undergone a Start of Darkness turning into a Tragic Monster in the worst, most tragic cases.

As a child, Metro Man (or Metro-Lad) was a Smug Super who relentlessly bullied Megamind after the latter caused an accident in class; constantly telling Megamind he was evil and making sure he was picked last in all games of Dodgeball. As an adult, whilst Metro Man is still a rival to Megamind, his rivalry with Megamind is far more friendly and he expresses approval about Megamind's Heelâ€“Face Turn.

In the present day, he is afraid to have a kid because he thinks they'll be bullied or become a bully, and joins the 'baseball team' The Benchwarmers (a couple of dorky adults representing the kids who never get to play baseball because they are deemed too wimpy or geeky or weird) and plays baseball games against little league teams of jock kids and their former jock coaches. Later in the movie, he tries to make amends and apologize to the kid he himself bullied as a child.

When Marnie exposes Joanna's past to everyone, Joanna tearfully admits that she really does regret how she behaved back then and was inspired to change her ways after her parents died and she wanted to be a better person that they could be proud of.

Downey is very much the undisputed School Bully and seeks to make life miserable for the seemingly weedy and ineffectual "Dog-botherer". Vetinari bides his time and comes up with a devastating counter-attack. In the "now" of the Discworld, some thirty years later, lord Downey is deferential and careful to be of service to the City's ruling Patrician. A school bully at the Assassins' School risks making some very powerful enemies who will have memories in later life — not forgetting and possibly inclined to forgiveness. Eventually.

Former victims of his make up a couple List items, with his first one being Kenny James, a guy he used to torment as a kid whom Earl helps with coming out of the closet.

When he learns of her Red Panda transformation, he tries to take advantage of her form by making her the attraction for his birthday party (though this later backfired horribly on him). During the 4*Town concert, when Mei and her friends discover he's also a fan of the group, they hug and welcome him into the "sisterhood". After the climax, it's revealed that he now hangs out with Mei and her friends, and he even wears a friendship bracelet that matches theirs, thus becoming a Bully Turned Buddy.

Reformed Bully / int_5dde14a	comment	Bridge to Terabithia 2: The Last Time, a fanfic follow-up that combines both the Katherine Patterson novel and the Disney adaptation, actually gives Scott Hoager, Jess' former bully from the movie version the reformed treatment. The story also includes a new character, Sonia Taylors, Jess' on-off girlfriend who is excessively manipulative, sadistic, ruthless, and especially takes delight in picking on Leslie, who turns out to be not really dead but was kidnapped by an enemy of the Burke family and isolated from society for years before inevitably reuniting with Jess when both of them are teenagers. Sonia gets written off halfway through the story before showing up again in the Distant Epilogue, where she actually turns over a new leaf after she married Scott Hoager. The two ex-bullies had a son, Brandon, who became best friends with the daughter of Jess and Leslie, much to Jess' bewilderment. According to the daughter, "Brandon's mom is so nice to me..." and "Brandon's dad is a sergeant in the army"...

Reformed Bully / int_746814ae	comment	Arthur: Binky Barnes was never that bad a bully to begin with. He was actually good friends with Arthur and the rest of the gang, even when he picked on them (Arthur once lampshaded how weird he can be sometimes). He's even shown to be a very cultured individual who likes dancing, ballet, opera, and has a gift for musical instruments. Still, a number of episodes did center around him dropping more and more of his bully act over time, and eventually in Season 16, he and the rest of his "Tough Customers" crew, who had their own Hidden Depths, decided to quit bullying altogether. As stated above, this extends to the other Tough Customers. Molly befriended Arthur in one episode (their younger siblings already being friends), and it was shown that she was actually amazingly polite. After this, she gave great advice to kids at school who needed her help. Ironically, she was the one who initially resisted the group's attempt to give up bullying completely, until she realized that she was setting a very bad example for her younger brother, James, whom she is very protective of. Rattles is also this. He was actually one of the most intimidating Tough Customers. But in Season 16, the same season where he gave up bullying, he revealed himself to be an expert chess player, surpassing even the Brain. He then gave Brain some training on how to defeat an opponent who had a reputation for never losing. Brain even called Rattles his friend when they met the aforementioned opponent for the first time. While Slink also gave up bullying with the rest of them, when he finally gets his own episode in Season 22, it's revealed that he's having self-doubts over whether he has a special talent. Once he overcomes it by the end, he learns he's a very good paperboy.

Judy was bullied as a child by a fox named Gideon Gray who beat her up and clawed her left cheek while mocking her desire to become a police officer. Near the end of the film, she learns that Gideon's now a top pastry chef and even does business with her parents. When she reunites with Gideon as an adult, he apologizes to Judy for how he acted in the past—claiming that he had a lot of issues as a kid (and the language he uses suggests he went to therapy), but has ultimately come to realize that it was very wrong of him to take them out on other people, including her. For her part, Judy accepts his apology and mostly seems happy for his positive personal growth.

A few chapters in, Midoriya has gained his own superpower and starts standing up to him at the same time the two join a prestigious Hero Academy, which is unlikely to tolerate that behavior, and their classmates are not intimidated by him, with many being actually as powerful or skilled as him, sometimes even more. So he stops being a bully, but he maintains the same personality, except that he can't bully anyone anymore. He later starts befriending some of his classmates and even Midoriya, leading to him playing this trope straight, while still having quite an unpleasant personality. He finally becomes completely reformed in Chapter 322 after apologizing to Midoriya. The first slight change in his behavior was noted in the Entrance Exams. By that point, Midoriya muses to himself that while Bakugo is still just as abrasive as ever, he lightened up immensely on the verbal abuse ever since the Sludge Villain incident. Before that, he literally suggested Midoriya jump out a window and hope for a Quirk in his next life. After that, all he does is pretty much a continuous "stay out of my way".

However, when she was Cartman's Distaff Counterpart during the time she was still with him, she bullied many of her peers, which she acknowledges and is trying to make amends for her wrongdoings. For the most part, Heidi does succeed but has a harder time earning Kyle's forgiveness who arguably got the worst of her crap. Luckily Heidi gives Kyle a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech that convinces Kyle to reconcile with Stan while letting go of his resentment of Heidi and be happy for her. It helps that Heidi tries to defend Kyle when her ex-boyfriend attacks him.

Reformed Bully / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Gilda the Griffon was introduced doing things like roaring in Fluttershy's face and calling everypony in town (besides Rainbow Dash) lame, which caused Rainbow to stand up to her and break off the friendship. In "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone", Pinkie and Dash are sent to a griffon area where Gilda just happens to be living. Over the episode, Pinkie manages to draw out Gilda's better nature and she and Rainbow reconcile. The Grrreat and Powerful Trrrrixie!! is a braggart and a bully to Twilight in her first appearance (possibly out of concern that Twilight would heckle her and mess up her image as a performer, as some of her friends were doing). Then Twilight accidentally shows her up in the process of saving Ponyville, and she skips town. In her next appearance, after she fails to get back at Twilight and spends most of the episode possessed by an amulet, she comes up to Twilight and apologizes. She further redeems herself when she becomes friends with Starlight Glimmer in Season 6. Diamond Tiara, one of the wealthiest fillies in town, has been bullying the CMC over their lack of Cutie Marks (and Scootaloo's difficulty with flying) for whole seasons of the show. Then, after losing an election to a classmate and being called out and ditched by her friend Silver Spoon, she lapses into depression. The Crusaders follow her to see that she was all right, discovering that her mother Spoiled Rich raised her to be a bully to live up to the family name, which leads to the group becoming unlikely friends and Diamond Tiara discovering that her Cutie Mark represents not richness, but leadership.

By Season 22, Heidi is back to being a Nice Girl while ridding herself of any Cartman-like she had inherited in her past relationship with him and seemingly making amends with the people she had mistreated. Eric Cartman himself managed to become this in Post Covid going from a vicious antisemite to a soft-spoken Jewish rabbi and family man. Though Kyle is suspicious of Cartman since he was a Manipulative Bastard who gave Kyle his worst treatment, Cartman proves that he did change his ways in the next special by sacrificing his prosperous life so Kyle and his friends can have a better future. This act ironically turns Cartman into Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up in the new future as well as a bitter and homeless alcoholic.

Over time, Sandstorm started bonding with him after he'd saved her life in battle only to eventually become his mate, Dustpelt outgrew his bullying attitude and began to respect him as a leader despite occasionally disagreeing with him, and Longtail proved himself a loyal warrior who matured past his original prejudice. Shrewclaw bullied Tallstar with the name "Worm", as a reference to his tunneler heritage. However, he got over this in the end after Tallstar helped in battle, even giving him a life during his leader ceremony to show he'd changed.

While Bruno hasn't actually reformed one bit, being a professional thief as an adult, he invokes this trope to strip Sour Ron of his cynicism and destroy his career after Ron refuses to be blackmailed, heartfully apologizing for his behavior when they were children, and delivering the final blow by returning the teddy bear.

Reformed Bully / int_ee829854	comment	Patricia from House of Anubis started off the show by bullying Nina over her assumption that she'd done something to make her best friend, Joy, disappear. She soon moved past this, though her grudge against Nina didn't disappear fully until Nina agreed to talk to her in private and help her out with her investigation to find Joy. Her character arc was finished when she joined Sibuna and ended up becoming very close friends with Nina. Her reformation was proven in the next two seasons when, despite hating Eddie and KT just like she'd hated Nina, her actions toward them had never reached the point of genuine bullying like with Nina. Jerome was a bit of a bully toward his best friend, Alfie, manipulating him for his own agenda and forcing him to be The Mole against Sibuna, who were all much nicer to Alfie than he was. Following his partnership with Rufus Zeno, Jerome had to turn to Sibuna for help once he realized how much danger he'd put himself in. Though he never truly turned nice or became friends with Sibuna, he'd become a better friend to Alfie and spent the next two seasons attempting to reform himself further.

Bobby, who was the least jerkass of them, is now a pastor. Jimmy is a dedicated husband and father with nothing but contempt for the Cobra Kai ethos, and Tommy has made his peace with the world. The only exception is Dutch, who doesn't appear on account of being in prison. Season 3 has Chozen, who was an even bigger a bully than Johnny, returning and confronting Daniel. He, like Johnny, initially appears to be a bit of a jerk towards Daniel, but it turns out to be an act, just for his own amusement. Once he is done trolling Daniel, he happily teaches him a secret martial arts technique. The two bond over and Chozen expresses regret over his past (read: murderous) behavior. Once Daniel forgives him, they part ways on good terms. Eli goes full circle. He's introduced as a shy bullied nerd, then becomes an alpha bully after joining Cobra Kai and reinventing himself as Hawk. But in Season 3 he starts to become uncomfortable with his own actions and those of his fellows, especially after his former bullies join the dojo. The season finale has him turn on Cobra Kai and help defend the Eagle Fang and Miyagi-Do students from an unprovoked assault.
