Contrasting Sequel Character: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Digimon]]'' Franchise has a story of this. Just going with the anime, we have, in order: Taichi Yagami from ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'', a hot blooded kid with an aptitude for lateral thinking; then Daisuke Motomiya from ''[[Digimon Adventure 02|Digimon 02]]'', idiot protagonist extraordinaire and a [[determinator]] to boot; then Takato Matsuda from ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', who is sweet, introverted, artistic minded and a bit timid; then Takuya Kanbara fron ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'', an extreme extrovert; then Masaru Daimon from ''[[Digimon Savers]]'', who is quite confrontational, and an anomaly on not having the trademark "googles look" of protagonists before and after him fitting the "more realistic" setting; Taiki Kudou, from ''[[Digimon Xross Wars]]'', a talented tactician; Tagiru, from ''The Young Hunters Leaping Through Time'' arc/season of ''Xross Wars'', an excitable borderline [[LeroyLeeroy Jenkins]]; and Haru Shinkai, from ''[[Digimon Universe Applimonsters]]'', an introverted bookworm.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', big time. After [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yugi Muto]], gentle game genius that interacts with and channels the way more amoral spirit Yami/Atem, came [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Jaden Yugi]], a more typical shounen protagonist that gets a very brutal [[Break The Cutie]]; then [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yusei Fudo]], more serious and calm than his predecessors; then [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal|Yuma Tsukumo]], who also has a relationship with an spirit that only he can see but whose relationship goes in a different way that the one between Yugi and Atem; and finally [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|Yuya Sakaki]], who sees his dueling activities in terms of "bringing happiness to others" rather than the competitive nature of his predecessors.

* The whole purpose of the ''[[Young Blades]]'' series focuses on a new next generation of musteekers, which consists of a Spanish poet, the original D'Artagan's son, a genius inventor, [[Sweet Polly Oliver|Jacqueline Roget]], and a Spanish poet.

* The ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' series, both in the original line and the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial GirlsGirl's Side|GirlsGirl's Side]]'' of the franchise, has different approach over their "Main" romantic interest (Read: the bigger character(s) in the cover).

** The first game has Shiori Fujisaki, [[The Ace]] [[School Idol]] and infamously [[Nintendo Hard]]. The second game prompts us towards Hikari Hinomoto, a [[Genki Girl]] way more approachable than Shiori, and so [[Easier Than Easy|easy to get]] that the real difficulty of herthe game is to ''avoid'' her route. The third game presents us Yukiko Makihara, a girl with a personality so thin she became [[The Scrappy]] of the franchise. The forthfourth game gave us Maki Hoshikawa, the [[Ridiculously Average Guy|Ridiculously Average Girl]], and Yuu Satsuki, the Shiori [[Expy]] [[Up to Eleven]].

** In the ''Girl's Side:'' ''First Love'' stars Kei Hazuki, the extremely aloof (and sightly socially inept) ace of the school. ''Second Kiss'' introduces us to Teru Saeki, the apparently perfect school prince who under that surface is more of a [[Broken Ace]] and rather [[Tsundere]]. ''Third Story'' bring us the Sakurai brothers, Ruka and Kouichi, who break the princely mold of the first two games by being [[Japanese Delinquents|more in the delinquent side]] (although it's implied that Ruka could be the school prince if he wished but deliberately avoids so). WhileIn ''4th Heart'', hasn'tRyouta beKazama released,is whatan littleinversion hasof beenthe revealedplot of Ryoutathe Kazamaearlier tendsgames in that ''he'' is the former towner that returns back towardsafter a morelong absence, takes an ''immediate'' liking down-to-earth characterthe heroine, at leastand in looks he appears to be more mature and down to earth than his idol-like predecessors.

* The Human Child/Frisk from ''[[Undertale]]'' and Kris from ''[[Deltarune]]'' Both are [[Silent ProtagonistsProtagonist]]s controlled by the player, but The Human is a child who finds themselves lost in the monsters' world, while Kris appears to have lived there for most of their life. {{spoiler|Frisk's personality is also dictated almost entirely by the player's whims, and only at the end of a True Pacifist route is it revealed that they are not the Fallen Child you named at the beginning; Kris has their own personality traits and desires, and apparently resents being controlled by the player.}}
