* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'''s [[Secondary Character Title|main character isn't Madoka]]. It's {{spoiler|Homura}}.
* Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''. After Keiichi has been the main character for three arcs spanning the first 13 episodes, his spotlight is taken away for the rest of the season, with three arcs devoted to Akasaka, Shion, and Rena. Then the first episode of the second season focuses on Akasaka and Ooishi. Then we get an arc centered around Satoko. The eventual main character? {{spoiler|Furude Rika}}, a [[True Companions|True Companion]] who had received the least attention prior to the reveal. Keiichi still plays a critical role, though, as a source of inspiration and courage.
** And in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', {{spoiler|Bernkastel}} actually attempts to {{spoiler|[[Hijacked by Ganon|hijack the whole setup]] through her game piece, [[Replacement Scrappy|Erika]]}}, effectively weaponizing this concept.
