Take Care of the Kids: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Precedes [[Children Raise You]], [[Promotion to Parent]], and [[Parental Substitute]]. Often an [[Ending Tropes|Ending Trope]] but not always. It also works well simply at the end of a [[Story Arc]] or in a [[Backstory]].

{{examples}}

* Part of Crow's [[Backstory]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'': His father-figure Robert Pearson, while trapped in a burning building, told Crow to escape, take his bike and deck, and watch over the rest of the kids he'd taken in.

** After their Duel, a dying Bommer asked Crow to look after his younger siblings before crumbling to dust. However Crow didn't have to since Bommer was resurrected at the end of that story arc.

* Aiolos Sagittarius in ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' gave the baby Saori to Mitsumasa Kido. It wasn't his kid though, he was trying to protect her from the evil Pope who wanted to kill her because she was Athena's reincarnation, and got killed in the effort.

* Subverted in [[Full Metal Panic!]]! when Sousuke's mother hands him off to Kalinin to raise... who then sends him off (albeit inadvertently) to the ''KGB''. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|To be trained as a child assassin.]]

* As revealed in a flashback, this was the dying request of Roy's alchemy teacher in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]].'' Granted, "take care of my daughter" ''probably'' didn't mean "make her your personal assistant and bodyguard," but hey, the woman is damn good at what she does.

* In ''[[Noir]]'', in a [[Flash Back]], Mireille Bouquet's mother's request to {{spoiler|a 5-year old Kirika; who just killed Mireille's father and is about to kill her; is to take care of Mireille.}}
