Strong Family Resemblance: Difference between revisions

** Also Armstrong family males (and some of the women).

** In the finale family photo, {{spoiler|[[Babies Ever After|Ed's and Winry's unnamed son]] looks uncannily like Daddy, down to the shit-eating grin. Baby Daughter looks to take after Winry, as she has Winry's eye and hair colors.}}

* Very common in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. The most obvious example is Goten, who looks(and acts) like Goku when he was a kid; this is [[Lampshaded]] in the games where he and a younger version of Goku appear. Goten may have initially been created to fill the 'young Goku role' left as the real Goku was too aged and Gohan was evolving into his own character, but that didn't work out too well. Since not every child in the series has such a strong family resemblance, it's also removes lingering doubts that the [[Not Quite Dead|often absent]] Goku isn't his father...

** Similarly, the few times we see Vegeta's father, he looks pretty much like Vegeta with a few minor differences: brown hair, a slightly sturdier build, and a goatee.

** And considering Sebastian has taken the appearance of Earl Phantomhive, except for the eyes, this could raise some interesting questions when he's older.

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', interestingly enough, Sousuke Sagara is shown to look almost exactly like his [[Hot Shounen Mom|beautiful]] [[Missing Mom]] in his backstory. No wonder [[Even the Guys Want Him]].

* ''[[Prince of Tennis]]''. Kaidou Kaoru looks almost identical to both his younger brother Hazue and his father Shibuki, with the two of them essentially being older and younger versions of him. It's actually kind of creepy...

** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|And fucking hilarious.]]

* Occurs on ''[[Glee]]''. Thanks to actresses Lea Michele and Idina Menzel looking near-identical, no one bought that Shelby was ''just'' the director of Vocal Adrenaline and {{spoiler|not Rachel's birth mother. "Dream On" finally confirmed it}}.

* Everyone in Paul Pfeiffer's family on ''[[The Wonder Years]]'' has black hair and glasses, kind of like Milhouse's family on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. Milhouse is also based on Paul in appearance and as the protagonist's best friend.

 

 

** Let's not forget Elisa, her siblings,and Alex, the son of Xanatos and Fox . Elisa resembles her dad, her brother looks like their mother, and the their sister resembles both of their parents. Adult Alex looks like David with Fox's bright red hair. (Of course, he was [[All Just a Dream]] anyway, so who knows if he will actually look like that?)

* In ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|The New Batman Adventures]]'', Tim Drake looks exactly like the mugshot of his dad Steven "Shifty" Drake.

* In [[Recess]] T.J. looks like his mom, Gus resembles a younger less rugged version of his dad and he also has a presumably great grandfather who looked just like him as a kid, Vince looks like his dad, Mikey looks like his mom, and Gretchen resembles both of her parents.

* As revealed in the show ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Jungle Cubs]]'', Hathi Jr., the baby elephant from Disney's ''The Jungle Book'', actually looks exactly like his mother Winifred when she was still a calf.
