A Protagonist Shall Lead Them: Difference between revisions

 

[[Sister Trope]] to [[Rightful King Returns]] and [[Offered the Crown]]; this trope is not exclusive to lost royalty, nor will the protagonist always gain an official title afterwards. Very often also a [[Magnetic Hero]].

 

* Jotaro Kujo is set up to be this at the beginning of the third part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', "Stardust Crusaders." His [[Guardian Entity|Stand]], Star Platinum, [[Tarot Motifs|is named after the Tarot card "The Star" which stands for hope and salvation]], and this is very fitting. At the end of the story, Jotaro is the only one able to beat [[Big Bad|Dio]] since {{spoiler|both of their Stands are the same type, and Jotaro can not only resist Dio's time-stopping powers, but Jotaro learns how to stop time himself.}}

* Usagi of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' will become this in 1000 years when she becomes Neo-Queen Serenity.

** Jack ultimately volunteers himself to {{spoiler|succeed Jacob to become the "true" leader of the island, though only for one episode before passing the torch to Hurley.}}

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': Harriet Jones, prime minister. Though she's only "chosen" by the fact that The Doctor knows 21st Century British future-history, she was credited in that history with stepping from the ashes of The Christmas Invasion and bringing Brittan through a golden age. {{spoiler|How much of that actually came to pass before she pisses The Doctor off in the next Christmas special and he changes that history, well...}}

* Sheridan from ''[[Babylon 5]]'' leads the fight both against the corrupt President Clarke, and also [[Abusive Precursors|the Shadows and the Vorlons]].
