Line 27:
** An evil example comes in Part 5 with the two mafia members Pesci and Prosciutto. Pesci is the little brother and ironically like other mentors Prosciutto dies by getting run over by a train and getting lodged in the wheels before Pesci gets how to be a good mafia worker. Then he dies by getting his head unzipped from his body and thrown into a lake.
** In Part 7, Gyro Zeppeli's position as Johnny's friend and a teacher could fit this trope as well.
* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime, Hughes is Roy's Big Brother Mentor, he hits pretty much every single qualification for one listed above at some point. He is one year older, but he has a family whereas Roy doesn't, and thus a very different perspective on life. He has one notable moment of snapping out of his easy-going attitude.
** In an evil example of this trope, Pride acts as this towards Wrath, the youngest of the Homunculi. This becomes quite ironic when you learn {{spoiler|Pride masquerades as his son, Selim Bradley.}}
* In the anime version of ''[[Planetes]]'', Hakim Ashmead fills this role for Hachimaki, at least until his {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]] where he was revealed to be [[The Mole]] for the terrorist Space Defense Front}}. ''Their'' mentor, Gigalt Gangaragash, straddles the line between a Big Brother Mentor and an actual [[The Obi-Wan]].
