Line 138:
** {{spoiler|Then comes ''Investigations 2'' where he goes right back to being an artist, and his art surprisingly improved, and his appearance in the DLC case of ''Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice'' shows him as a well known painter. It's a good theory that Larry will probably be an artist for the longest time. After all, in the third game, he wasn't lying when he said that Elise motivated him.}}
* This trope is why ''[[Fate/stay night]]'''s [[The Hero|Shiro Emiya]] and [[Sinister Minister|Kirei Kotomine]] are [[Not So Different]]. {{spoiler|Neither of them has any sense of self-worth and can only find purpose in other people. The difference is that Shirou's is helping people, while Kotomine's (as noted above) is causing people suffering. And even then, Kotomine still isn't happy, because while the suffering of others is the only thing that makes him happy, that in and of itself makes him unhappy because he ''knows'' [[Being Evil Sucks|it's wrong]].}}
* From the game ''[[BTS (band)|BTS]] World'', this trope makes the plot of Jeongguk's Another Story. At the beginning of his story he is shown wandering by all the clubs of his school, [[Renaissance Man|trying and doing it ''excellently'' in all of them]], but abandoning them immediately due to disinterest; this earns him the nickname of "Club Killer", as many members of whatever club he tried and abandoned resign immediately as they feel they cannot be as good as him. We quickly learn that the only thing that can hold his interest is taekwondo, on which he used to be a prodigy but had to abandon because of what at the time seemed a [[Career-Ending Injury]]; once he learns that he is fit enough to practice the sport again, he immediately turns all his efforts into getting admitted on his school's taekwondo club.
** The trope kicks again in Another Story Season Two. {{spoiler|Jeongguk}} found purpose by working in [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday|the Magic Shop]], helping people who made a wish within the place. {{spoiler|But after commitingmaking a mistake while helping a client, the [[Genius Loci|store]] fires him. The store however offers him his position back if he manages to find a person that rememberremembers him, so the poor guy has to run all over the city tracking back his last clients in a desperate attempt to get his life purpose back.}}
