* A central theme of ''Manga/NanaToKaoru.'' The fulfillment and '''''joy''''' that Nana, Ryoko and other submissives find in bondage is ultimately not from any physical sensation, but the joy of being able to implicitly trust another person, and to have that trust affirmed. These women are not plastic idols, but human beings who sweat, and drool, and cry, and pee. Human beings who - no matter how perfect their lives may appear from the outside - struggle with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, frustration, and shame, as well as feelings of sexual desire and an incredible longing to be loved. Through bondage, their bodies and behavior are controlled and restricted, so that they are forced to expose "shameful" parts of themselves to their dominant. The dominant, in turn, receives those "shameful" pieces of a person - the submissive's true self - not with anger or disgust, but with praise, and affection, and love. Bondage is thus a ''validation'' of the submissive's true self - something that gives Nana and others tremendous strength and happiness.

* ''VideoGame/PathfinderWrathOfTheRighteous'' brings us Arueshalae, a [[HornyDevils succubus]] who drained a priestess' life force, then decided to peek into her dream. The ChaoticGood Desna, goddess of dreams, stars, and luck, decided to intervene and make Arueshalae dream, prompting a VillainousBSOD and setting her off on a HeelFaceTurn. She strives so hard against her evil nature, a little trust turns her into one of your kindest companions as she struggles up from ChaoticNeutral to ChaoticGood. Canonically, in the table top RPG, she was redeemed and is Desna's sworn servant. And Pathfinder ''does not'' skimp on showing you what a monster Arueshalae used to be; she drained souls, openly admits to [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexual assault]], [[ImAHumanitarian and cannibalism]], and worse.
** Of course, you can go the other way: [[RedemptionRejection help her give up her quest to be good]], and [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope she dives right back]] into showing you just how [[CompleteMonster horrifying Pathfinder's demons are]]. She greets you by cheerily waving a child's arm at you - child not attached.

* ''Series/Loki2021'': In one of their first conversations, Loki tells Mobius that trust is for children and dogs. As further events unfold, he has to learn to trust and be trustworthy, which earns him friends, allies and small perks like a CoolSword. [[spoiler: Yet in the end, Sylvie [[SubvertedTrope betrays his trust]] by sending him back to the TVA while she finishes her mission alone.]]

* ''The Detachment'' by Creator/BarryEisler. Invoked by [[HitmanWithAHeart John Rain]] when he suspects (accurately) that Daniel Larison is planning to kill them and keep all the ransom for himself. Knowing they are NotSoDifferent and aware of how his own viewpoint changed after Dox showed him trust, [[KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand he hands Larison a silenced Glock]] and gives him the option of either leaving with his share of the diamonds or accompanying them to stop a terrorist atrocity. Larison (who was expecting to get shot on the spot) is too stunned to say much but does end up going with them, despite having refused earlier.

Emma betrayed the team, which led to Phoenix running around under the control of the Inner Circle (who just expelled Emma, who wanted to destroy it). She was left tied to a wall when Logan found her.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' thoroughly {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s this: yes, you should trust your teammates and can rely on them from time to time, but doing so only and not calling on your own strengths is suicidal for both sides.
* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' has this involving the immortal 10-year-old Czeslaw Meyer. No, he's not the [[DeliberatelyCuteChild sweet kid]] who makes the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters huge cast]] of assorted criminals find themselves. After a couple hundred years of bad experiences, he has issues trusting anything in this world. The anime and novels has [[TheDitz Issac]], [[DumbBlonde Mirria]], [[BattleButler Ennis]], [[TheMafia Maiza]] and [[StepfordSmiler Elmer]] to drive the point to him. It only takes about 70 years.
* The Power of Trust is intertwined with ThePowerOfFriendship in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Guts is very wary of people because [[spoiler: his adoptive father, whom he admired above all else, sold him out to a pedophile and was raped as a result]]. Over time, he's repetitively put in predicaments that require him, a loner by nature, to place his trust in the hands of other people. Sometimes, the outcome is fruitful, but other times not so much...



* This, along with ThePowerOfFriendship, is what wins the day at the end of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. [[spoiler:The Tournament of Power is down to Universe 7's Goku, Frieza, and Android 17 against Universe 11's Jiren. Already pushed to their limits, Goku and Frieza put aside their differences to finally take down the man mountain of a powerhouse. Jiren's last words before he's rung out is basically recognizing this power.]]

* ''LightNovel/{{Kanokon}}'' provides our protagonists with an AllYourColorsCombined sort of super mode that requires an open heart to work. In other words, trust. We learn this after that trust is lost, naturally.
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', though Ed rarely holds back in showing how much he hates Mustang, he seems to trust him almost implicitly, due to the fact that Mustang's been keeping his and Al's secret for four years. He evens comments in one episode of ''Brotherhood'':

If Naruto didn't have their trust--especially [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Hinata's]] as the series progressed--things would have been a lot worse: he could have turned out like [[OmnicidalManiac Gaara]].
** Also Chouji. Constantly teased for his weight, but reveals during a major fight that if you insult Shikamaru ([[HeterosexualLifePartners his best friend]] and the only one who actually believes in him), [[BerserkButton he will kick your ass]].

* [[TokenEvilTeammate Hiei]] of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' sheds his initial tendencies toward world-conquering and the accumulation of zombie mind slaves for no apparent reason other than 'dumbass got lucky and now I'm on parole,' but his HeelFaceTurn is confirmed at the 'Gate of Betrayal' in their first team story when Yusuke, with manly beaming smile of trust, nominates him to dart over and pull the lever to save them all, while the rest of them split his load of the crushing weight, and after some debate he actually does it.
** Somewhat ridiculous in that Yusuke asked him because he was fastest, and if we factor in his hesitation time actually ''anybody else'' would have been faster. That he was shortest and therefore couldn't actually be helping them hold it up anyway would have made more sense, but been a lot less cool.
*** He ''was'' probably the only one fast enough not to get killed by the huge rock they drop on you in punishment for keeping faith with your comrades, so that worked out okay.
*** What may be odder is the HeelFaceTurn-inducing trusting smile coming from a cynical fourteen-year-old who has never had any friends ever except this one girl he played with as a little kid because he's a jerk and bad with people and doesn't like people anyway. Dying is good for the soul.
** Hiei's initial psychosis was probably the [[EvilWeapon magic sword]] messing with his head, anyway.
* A big part of the meister/weapon teams in ''Manga/SoulEater''. More so than strength, arguably more than courage, it's mutual trust that counts; it indicated that without it the teams could not function e.g. Black Star and Tsubaki working out how to use the demon blade mode, Maka and Soul when fighting the Clown and later Giriko.
* Trust between partners is also a major theme in ''Anime/TigerAndBunny''. Throughout the entire series, the eponymous characters, forced to become partners in episode 2, must learn to trust each other, both personally and professionally. Indeed, explicit and implicit lack of trust for each other causes the most rifts in their friendship; conversely, expressed trust in the other helps them [[CharacterDevelopment grow as people and partners]].

* This trope factors into pretty much any relationship between a person and an animal. The more an animal trusts you, the more friendly and tolerant they'll be, generally speaking. Some species obviously trust more easily than others (i.e. those that are properly domesticated), and an animal that has undergone abuse or trauma may have difficulty trusting humans afterwards.

Essentially, ''every single person in his life'' has betrayed his trust at one point or another. His faithful servant Merlin is hiding the fact that he's a powerful sorcerer. His father lied about the circumstances of his mother's death. His half-sister betrayed him and tried to take over the kingdom. The court physician knows all the secrets of his life and reveals none of them. His uncle is plotting against him. His best knight is controlled by dark forces in order to seduce his future wife. Ironically, the one person that Arthur ''can'' trust is the character who is best known for her infamous betrayal: Guinevere. In this version she is caught kissing Lancelot on the night before her wedding to Arthur, but was under an enchantment at the time and had no intention of being anything but 100% faithful to Arthur.

* Trust is a massive issue that Batman has in ''VideoGame/Injustice2'', which is understandable considering how his best friend Superman turned against him. Batman is told by his aide that he needs to expand his circle of trust if he wants to get anything done. Batman eventually starts to trust the Flash and the Green Lantern (both of them had defected to Superman's regime in the previous game and later repented for it) with his plans to deal with Brainiac. Batman eventually admits that he needs Superman to save the day, which would mean trusting him to not backstab him again. [[spoiler: The whole thing is subverted in the very end where after Brainiac is defeated, Batman and Superman have a spat over whether or not Brainiac should live or die. Batman never fully trusted Superman at all (with the gold kryptonite dagger being proof of that) because he knew he'd still go back to his old ways of using fear and power to put criminals in line and Superman proved him right. In the end, Batman trusted Superman enough to stop Brainiac, but didn't trust him enough to actually learn his lesson from the previous game where he used his powers to oppress people. If you side with Batman in the final segment of the game, the ending shows him placing his trust in Supergirl, who had upheld her moral values a lot better than Superman did.]]

Batman never fully trusted Superman at all (with the gold kryptonite dagger being proof of that) because he knew he'd still go back to his old ways of using fear and power to put criminals in line and Superman proved him right. In the end, Batman trusted Superman enough to stop Brainiac, Brainiac but didn't trust him enough to actually learn his lesson from the previous game where he used his powers to oppress people. If you side with Batman in the final segment of the game, the ending shows him placing his trust in Supergirl, who had upheld her moral values a lot better than Superman did.]]



* Trust is an important theme of Ulrik's romance in ''VisualNovel/SteamPrison''. Cyrus showing trust towards Ulrik earns affection with him even as it confuses him, and since he doesn't trust people easily, earning even a little of his trust is a signficant development in their relationship. ''Breaking'' his trust, meanwhile, has very serious consequences.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': During the Chorus trilogy Aiden Price claims this is the primary advantage that the Blood Gulch crew had that allowed them to defeat The Meta. Their total faith in eachother let them devise a strategy that beat a guy that by all rights should have wiped the floor with them in five seconds flat.

** Fencers also shake hands with their left had but for different reasons. Fencers wear gloves over their sword hands and its traditionally considered a sign of distrust to offer a gloved hand to shake. This is because it implies the the other person is unwashed or otherwise offensive to the touch. Therefore by shaking with the ungloved hand you demonstrate that you trust he other person's sense of hygiene (which was tied directly with social status back in the day).

* Inverted in ''Fanfic/ThePeaceNotPromised'', when Lily's implicit trust in Severus causes him to fail. He intends to [[spoiler: fake becoming a double agent in order to create an opening to evacuate her]], but because she trusts him with her life, she quickly sees through his words and realises what he's doing -- and she's vulnerable to mindreading.

* In the 1945 film version of ''Film/{{And Then There Were None|1945}}'', what saved Phillip is his decision to give Vera the gun. Because he gave her the gun, she doesn't shoot him, even when she briefly thinks that they're the only two left on the island so he must be the killer. (He isn't.)

He offers Link trust when they first meet, and by the final act proves worthy of that trust.

* ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheLost'': This is part of the defense that the Seasonal Courts provide to the eponymous Changelings. Their [[TheFairFolk True Fae]] "masters" are fundamentally incapable of understanding that one being might freely give up power to another, so handing off authority with the change of the seasons creates a kind of memetic camoflague for the changelings.
