* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', [[spoiler:following the Paranormal Liberation War, many heroes end up quitting their jobs after seeing just how horrible and stressful it can be, claiming that this is not what they signed up for. It also proves Stain's point that most heroes only became heroes for the popularity.]]

NotWhatISignedOnFor in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
----
* ''Manga/{{Ajin}}'': The members of the [[LaResistance Ajin resistance]] had no problem with killing humans for Sato, believing it was necessary for the plight of the Ajins. When they discover that [[spoiler:Sato [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist doesn't actually care about their species' plight]] and just wants to [[WarForFunAndProfit start a war with humanity]] [[ForTheEvulz for kicks]], all but Tanaka promptly abandon him in disgust.]]
* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'':
** Jean, Connie and Sasha all blanch at the thought that they may be ordered to kill other humans. Jean becomes the vocal opposition to this change in tactics, stating that he joined the Survey Corps to fight Titans, ''not'' other humans. [[spoiler: When his hesitance to pull the trigger on an enemy nearly costs him his life, he is forced to accept the necessity of killing.]]
** Half the Survey Corps goes rogue on the spot when [[spoiler:Eren declares war on the world with a Titan army]].
* In ''Manga/DragonBall'', Adjutant Black, the right hand man of Commander Red of the Red Ribbon Army, believed that his commander was after the wish-granting Dragon Balls in order to TakeOverTheWorld. However, when he learns that Red actually intended to use the Dragon Balls to [[TheNapoleon make himself taller]], and that he was perfectly willing to sacrifice his entire army for such an idiotic wish, Black promptly [[BoomHeadshot blows his brains out]].
* Fred and Louis of ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'' absolutely did not agree to let William commit suicide, no matter how much William might want to.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** A comedic example: Trafalgar Law allied the Heart Pirates with the Straw Hat Pirates in hopes of getting a powerful ally to take down the operation at Punk Hazard and eventually one of the Yonko. He did. What he did not sign on for was the Straw Hats' various... quirks, not the least of which is the fact that Luffy's stubbornness quickly leads to Law being dragged into things that had nothing to do with his original plan. Usopp lampshades it in pretty short order.
--->'''Usopp:''' Jeez, I knew [[LampshadeHanging you had no idea what was going on.]] The "alliance" you asked to form only means that we're working together solely to reach a shared objective, right?\\
'''Law:''' Naturally.\\
'''Usopp:''' That's what ''you'' meant, but when Luffy hears the word "alliance" he thinks of something else.\\
'''Luffy:''' Like friends, right?
** On a more serious note, he also quit working for [[spoiler:Caesar Clown]] on the spot after he found out about how [[spoiler:Clown was drugging the children of Punk Hazard with a highly addictive stimulant that dramatically reduced their lifespan in order to keep them from trying to rebel or leave]]. His reaction was more or less along the lines of "If I had known about this beforehand, I never would have had anything to do with you in the first place," and it served as a perfect example of just how far beyond the pale [[spoiler:Clown]] had gone.
* ''Anime/SDGundamForce'': For most of the series, the stated goal of the Dark Axis is to conquer the universe by invading and stealing technology from every dimension. In episode "Gerbera's Invitation", Professor Gerbera reveals that once the Dark Axis General has been fully restored, they will destroy all worlds. Kibaomaru, who joined the Dark Axis with the intent of getting their help conquering Ark, is quick to point out that contradiction in what Gerbera said now compared to what he said then.
