== Anime and Manga ==
* When [[Big Bad|Raoh]] of ''[[Fist of the North Star]],'' broken-and-defeated by Kenshiro, [[Final First Hug|holds the younger warrior's face for the first and final time like a big brother]]:
Line 49:
** In one of the movies, he admits defeat, surrenders his empire and ''retires in the countryside with Cleopatra''.
*** "You are gods, and one cannot fight gods."
== Fanfiction ==
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* {{spoiler|Wadsworth}}, in ''[[Clue (film)|Clue]]'', congratulates his killer on their shooting skills.
* Johnny Lawrence in ''[[The Karate Kid]]'' shows some previously unseen class after losing to Daniel at the end of the film, personally handing the trophy to LaRusso and telling him, "You're all right."
** It doesn't seem to stick, though, given the events of the ''[[Cobra Kai]]'' sequel series airing on [[YouTube]] Red starting in 2018.
** The remake takes this [[Up to Eleven|up a notch]]. Not only does the rival bring the hero the trophy, but he, and his entire class bow to him, much to the chagrin of their jerkass teacher.
* In ''[[A Beautiful Mind]]'', Martin Hansen has been acting as a [[Jerkass]] [[The Rival|rival]] to John Nash for most of the film's first act; however, when Nash is selected for the position at Wheeler labs instead of him, he shows up at the local bar where Nash is celebrating, and- though his ego has obviously taken a bruising- he gracefully toasts Nash's success. For the remainder of the scene, the two of them are chatting amiably.
