Line 271:
** A more traditional example occurs in the finale of ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]'': {{spoiler|50 years after the defeat of Gohma, the grandchildren of the original Dairangers inherit their powers when Gohma returns.}}
** The main characters of ''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger]]'' are implied to have inherited their powers from their ancestors as well.
* The main character in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' holds a title that has been assigned to young women like her since before recorded history, although in the final season (related in the comic book) Buffy is able to bestow the title on multiple other recruits while keeping it herself, in response to the task becoming bigger.
* On ''[[Human Target]]'', the identity of Christopher Chance seems to be a Dread Pirate Roberts sort of deal; in the first season finale we meet the previous holder of the name (played by [[The Six Million Dollar Man|Lee Majors]]) and he explains that ''he'' picked it up from another guy. {{spoiler|The current Christopher Chance used to be an assassin, and it's implied that the one before him was one as well.}}
* Both the BBC ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' and the 1980s ITV ''[[Robin of Sherwood]]'' feature the death of the real Robin Hood and a new figure taking up the name and tasks of Robin to continue the legend.
* ''[[The Onion]] News Network'' features Tucker Hope, which is actually a position on the news crew filled by various men who go through Tucker training in order to fill their role. One Tucker Hope was even fired on the air after having a breakdown and declaring that his name was Peter. When the episode came back from the commercial break, a new Tucker Hope was already present.
