[QUOTE="GSHamster, post: 6406559, member: 20187"] There is a currently airing anime called "Chaika" which may have an interesting take on this: The evil mage-emperor Gaz was killed 5 years ago. His body was cut up and hidden by the heroes who slew him (due to how magic works in this world). Now is daughter Chaika is searching for the pieces, ostensibly to give him a proper burial and funeral. A group of agents, dedicated to preserving and improving the new world, is chasing her and trying to stop her from doing so, because they're worried about what will happen if all the pieces are assembled. Similarly, another plot might involve a good person trying to free or resurrect a loved one, but the loved one happens to be evil. Perhaps a good god has a prophecy where the good god becomes dominant, and sweeps away all the other gods (both good and evil). Clerics of the good god are trying to bring the prophecy to fruition, because they obviously believe that a world with only this god will be better than one with evil gods. They are opposed by the agents of all the other gods. [/QUOTE]
