Line 25:
* In ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'', [[The Ojou|Mint]] [[Fan Girl|fangirls]] over [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Zakuro]].
* Judai of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' started {{spoiler|fanboying over Yugi when they met in the final episodes of ''GX''. At that point he'd just beaten the embodiment of darkness and was one of the strongest forces in the universe, probably.}} Of course, in terms of the card game, {{spoiler|Yugi}} is still a freaking ''legend''.
** Not just Judai, of course. {{spoiler|In a first season episode, when Yugi's deck is put on display in a museum, Judai and Sho go out to get a look at it early, and run into Misawa, who wanted to do the same thing. In the second part, Kaiser, Asuka, and a ''lot'' of other students show up, having had the same idea.}}
* ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]''
** Excel and Hyatt squee before agent Key, much to Il Palazzo's displeasure.
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
* Many, ''many'' characters behave this way toward Gilderoy Lockhart in ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] and the Chamber of Secrets'', to the point where Harry—the actual hero of the series—gets forced to spend a detention helping the man answer his fan mail. Lockhart's general incompetence, though, implies that he doesn't deserve his fame; he eventually reveals that {{spoiler|he made a career out of finding people who did impressive things, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|wiping their memories]], and claiming he did those things himself. Right afterward, in a fit of irony, Lockhart [[Hoist by His Own Petard|blanks his own memory while trying to blank Ron and Harry's memories]]}}. Bizarrely, Ron and Harry never seem to mention his secret to anyone, so Lockhart's fame is mostly intact....
* In [[Honor Harrington]] the hero of the Royal Manticoran Navy is Saginami. The Grayson's hero is naturally the founder of their religion whose opinions affect them even in baseball rules(such as a deep prejudice against allowing designated hitters). Honor Harrington herself naturally admires numerous naval heroes.
* In ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'', we see Dante completely forgetting the fact that he's somehow ended up in Hell because ohmygosh, ''[[Virgil| it's Virgil!]]'' A few stanzas later, he has a similar reaction to seeing his other heroes, [[Homer]], [[Ovid]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace Horace], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucan| Lucan.] These writers readily accept Dante as one of their own - there is a reason many view the overall poem as a "biblical fanfiction" that is also a [[Self-Insert Fic]]. Later, in Purgatorio, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statius Statius] is also excited to meet Virgil.
