Members of an inhuman race gaining human emotions: Aikawa Hajime/Kamen Rider Chalice who is one of the Undead from Kamen Rider Blade and Ankh, a Greeed from Kamen Rider OOO both start out as ruthless and uncaring, but both end up realizing living as a human feels far better than living as their own race.
