Line 16:
* The ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' cast to the ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' cast. Four years separate the two.
* And Taiki and Shoutmon from ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'' return to ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' as the smart mentors. Yuu himself returns from the previous series now matured as one of the main cast.
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', almost the entire cast of the first two seasons returns as Older and Wiser mentor figures to the newcomers in ''StrikerS''. Nanoha specifically designs her training programs to prevent them from [[Training
* Any characters that are around for longer then one arc in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''. Notable ones include [[Superpowerful Genetics|Joseph Jostar]], [[Badass Longcoat|Jotaro Kujo]], [[Nice Hat|Speedwagon]] and [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Dio Brando]].
* Rad, Carlos, and Alexis from ''[[Transformers Armada]]'' return aged ten years older to play supporting roles in ''[[Transformers Energon]]''.
Line 46:
* Sarah Jane Smith in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. Explicitly shown in "Turn Left": {{spoiler|In the Doctor-less alternate universe, Sarah Jane takes the Doctor's role in averting a disaster he stopped (or ''would'' have stopped) in the episode "Smith and Jones", though she dies in the process}}.
* Tommy in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'', who returns to superheroing as the team mentor figure after taking seven years off for college, graduate school, a doctorate program, and wildly successful research on superpowered dinosaur cyborgs. It is unknown, but doubtful, if the character slept between his departure in 1997 and return in 2004.
* Barney Collier from ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' appeared in some episodes of the revival series, while his son was one of the main characters (and their actors were [[Real Life Relative|father and son]], too).
* Steed in ''[[The New Avengers]]''
* Although ''Welcome Back, Kotter'' didn't have any prior show, the character Gabe Kotter was a former student who comes back to his high school alma mater to teach an often unruly group of remedial wiseguys known as the "Sweathogs", of which he was a founding member.
Line 65:
* Bleu (Deis) from the ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' series, especially in ''Breath of Fire II'' ([[Guide Dang It|provided that you can find her...]]) where she proves to be one of the best spellcasters in the game.
* Averted in ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' Radiant Dawn in which the cast of Path of Radiance all make appearances as major characters and despite some maturity still have their own problems and issues to deal with.
** Finn and Oifey, from ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', are straighter examples ; you had them in the first generation as young apprentices, in the second generation they are back as mentors to Leaf and Nanna, and Celice and the other children at Tilnanogue respectively. Levn, who comes back as Celice's strategist, also counts, though this may be because of his {{spoiler|[[Back
* Dante in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4''.
** Not exactly, due in part to [[Anachronic Order|the confusing ordering of the series]] and in part to Dante's tendency to be a wiseguy rather than a wise guy.
Line 79:
** For the record, that means the last time we saw him, he was a Detective Sergeant in Homicide. A minimum of ten years later (due to physical SWAT requirements), he has been promoted to the rank of Captain. At least. One hell of a meteoric rise.
* Liese in ''[[Atelier Annie]]''. [[No Export for You|Not that you'd be expected to know]]. She's also {{spoiler|a kind of [[Trickster Mentor]], since she's testing and spying on Annie for her grandfather}}.
* Leo Stenbuck from ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'', returning in ''The Second Runner'' less mopey and with [[Took a Level
* Flik and Viktor in ''[[Suikoden II]]''.
* The ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' series has Cranky Kong, who was the Donkey Kong from the original arcade games. Unfortunately, while he's older and wiser, he's ''so much so'' that he's more [[Grumpy Old Man]] than anything else.
