== Anime/Manga ==
* The 2006 version of ''[[Kanon]]'' moved Ayu's first prologue until later and had Shiori, Mai and Makoto appear to Yuuichi beforehand, unlike the 2001 version. Yes, this makes ''Kanon'' both an example of [[First Girl Wins]] and Last Girl Wins.
* Feena in ''[[Yoake Mae Yori RuriRuriiro Iro Nana]]'' is the last possible love interest to appear, save for the [[Token Mini-Moe]].
* Because of the [[Anachronic Order]] of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', both the protagonist's stated [[Love Interest]] and his [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]], the two girls that one would consider most in the running, could be considered both [[First Girl Wins|the first]] and the last. If Yuki or Sasaki ends up winning in the end, then, well...
** Sasaki is a debatable example, considering that the protagonist {{spoiler|knew Sasaki even before he met Haruhi or Mikuru in high school}}. Still, she shows up after any of the others.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]] has a bit of a gender inversion - while Bashir and Quark both go after Jadzia for a while, it's fourth season import Worf who ends up marrying her.
** Then played straight for Bashir, sort of, {{spoiler|when he ends up with Ezri at the end of the series.}}
* It was a [[Foregone Conclusion]], but neither Chloe Sullivan nor Alicia Baker nor Lana Lang had a chance against Lois Lane on [[Smallville]].
Line 56:
*** Mostly Azel. Lex didn't know Ayra until she was recruited. Azel, on the other hand, had his entire reason for joining with Sigurd as a way to stalk Edain.
* We can't forget [[Mysterious Waif]] Sophia in the case of [[Fire Emblem]] 6's Roy. And either Fiora for his dad Eliwood, or Farina for Lilina's dad Hector. Who, OTOH, is Last Guy for Lyndis. And there's Sain as Last Guy for Rebecca, and Farina doubling as Last Girl for Kent...
* Given the multi-choice nature of the game, [[BaldursBaldur's Gate]] both fulfills and averts this trope: You meet Aerie much later than either of the other two potential love interests (a game later in fact)
** Interestingly enough, in the context of BGII itself, Aerie is likely the second woman you meet (Jaheira being thrown at you at the very beginning, Viconia likely being the last you find because the game forces you to go to Waukeen's Promenade before it will allow you to travel to the Government District).
*** But both the game and Viconia react like she joined your party for a time in the first game, even if she never did.
* In ''[[Dragon Quest V (Video Game)|Dragon Quest V]]'', while Bianca is canonically the [[First Girl Wins|First Girl]] the hero meets, the ''player'' technically meets her ''last'' in the DS version, thanks to a scene where the youngster meets Nera and Debora at the harbor. In the original, Flora (Nera in the DS translation) is the Last Girl, as he doesn't meet her until he visits her hometown as a young adult. Debora could ''also'' qualify, as she butts into the [[Engagement Challenge]] at literally the last possible second just to offer herself as a choice ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|which her father refuses to acknowledge unless you actually PICK her]]).
* Rinoa is the last of the three female party members that Squall meets in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' - by a considerable margin, since {{spoiler|it turns out that Squall spent his early childhood at the same orphanage as Quistis and Selphie}}.
 
 
== Visual Novels ==
* In ''[[Fate Stay Night|Fate/stay night]]'', Saber enters Shirou's story after the other two characters who have their own routes in the game, although not before all the [[Moe Moe|fanbait minor characters]]. (Note that in the anime, this can also be taken as a [[First Girl Wins]] -- Saber is the first girl ''we'' see.)
** This also applies to the visual novel, as the prologue starts with the scene where Shirou meets Saber and then flashes back a few days to show us the first few days of the story from Rin's perspective.
* This is what happens in Rin Tezuka's path in ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]''.
