* Director Kakuzawa in ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' wants to be the father of the future generations of the Diclonius race so that when it replaces humanity he'll be worshiped as their god. {{spoiler|This doesn't work out well for him in the end, as it involved the cooperation of Lucy, who decided to kill him instead.}}

** Moreover, his own status as a Diclonius {{spoiler|turns out to be based on the racial myths of his once-persecuted, very Human family. Lucy's evolutionary offshoot has no connection to his clan whatsoever, as Lucy tells his corpse.}}

* Played with, but ultimately averted in ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]]]]''. The final [[Big Bad]], King Saffron, is a [[Winged Humanoid]] with traits of [[The Phoenix]] -- namely, he can fly, generate incredible heat (one of his attacks is [[Calling Your Attacks|named]] "Instant Empire Annihilation Blast"), regenerate, and resurrect himself after dying by turning into an egg and hatching as a baby version of himself. Although he has sufficient power he could conceivably be considered a deity (at least a kami), he is never referred to even by his human opponents as a god. [[Fanon]], on the other hand, calls him a god all the time, presumably due to early fan translations. And then there's Rouge, who was [[Cursed with Awesome]] at Jusenkyo to transform into an Ashura version of herself. This gives her [[Kill It with Fire|fire breath]], [[Shock and Awe|lightning bolts]], flight, and superhuman strength and endurance... additionally, an Ashura is also a literal god/demon of mythology.
