In a sense, Bleach - twice!

spoiler

Sousuke Aizen used deplorable methods in his attempt to achieve godhood and conquer the "empty throne of god", but was ultimately justified when the forces of Yhwach, the legitimate son of God decided to invade and lay waste to the Soul Society. Subverted yet again when it is revealed that the current "Soul King" (the lynchpin that hold reality together and the pretend-ruler of the world) is in fact an empty husk of the original God, who was assassinated by the Shinigami because they feared his powers, and Yhwach's bloody conquest was in fact an attempt at revenge. Some of his final words before dying are "I will create a world without the fear of death".
