Line 19:
* Shi Woon to Chun Woo in ''[[The Breaker]]''
* Akari, Aika and Alice from ''[[Aria]]''
* Mana to Mahad in ''~[[Yu-Gi-Oh!~]]''
* [[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple|Kenichi]]. Take a guess on how much a teenager can learn about martial arts in 39 volumes and counting.
* Yahiko in ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]''. He does progress, although rather slowly over the course of the many volumes of the manga and accompanying TV series. At the beginning of the series, Yahiko is most useful to the heroes as a thrown weapon (it happens). At the end of the series he has become a master swordsman in his own right.
Line 71:
* In ''[[The Incredibles]]'', Buddy is a perfect example of the Apprentice becoming the [[Big Bad]]. He idolizes Mr. Incredible and attempts to force his way into a role as his sidekick. When he is spurned by the hero, he becomes bitter and attempts to play a hero by causing catastrophes that only he can fix.
* Spoofed by Trey Parker and Matt Stone in ''[[South Park]]'' and ''Team America: World Police''

You need a MONTAGE!'' }}
* The title character of [[Chowder]] is one of these to Mung Daal; other child characters are apprenticed to other chefs.
