== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Fourteen-year-old schoolgirl Yurie Hitotsubashi's unexpected elevation to godhood kicks off the story in ''[[Kamichu!]]''
* In the [[Backstory]] of ''[[Tenchi Muyo! RyiRyo-Ohki]]'', the Juraian goddess Tsunami merged with Princess Sasami when the girl was critically injured in a fall; the result is a fusion where Sasami is the dominant personality, and will eventually ''become'' Tsunami when she grows up.
** Averted with Tenchi Masaki himself, who appears to undergo an apotheosis late in the OVA series. It turns out, though, that he unknowingly was a god -- in fact, ''the'' god -- all along, and all that happened was a temporary awakening of his true self.
* Masami Eiri attempts to engineer an apotheosis for himself in ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' by running the [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]] trope backwards in a form of [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]] -- if a sufficient number of people ''believe'' he is a god, he ''will'' be. Sadly, he didn't count on Lain.
