== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Corrector Yui]]'' desired to become a hero so much that she was able to overcome learning she was ''not'' [[The Chosen One]] and {{spoiler|[["I Know You
** [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] later on the 1st season's finale, she was, indeed, the chosen one. {{spoiler|By [[Mailer Daemon|Grosser]], that season's [[Big Bad]], because it wanted [[The Hero|her]] and not the [[Mr. Fixit|Inukai]]'s [[Yamato Nadeshiko|chosen one]] to be it's vessel and allow it to [[Pinocchio Syndrome|live on the real world]].}}
* ''[[Flame of Recca]]'' - {{spoiler|Recca}} is the cursed one destined to end the Hokage clan and {{spoiler|Kurei}} was meant to be the Hokage clan leader.
Line 105:
* In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers]]'', it turns out that ''you'' aren't the one chosen to go to the Hidden Land and save time after all: your partner is. However, because of [[The Power of Friendship]], you're allowed to go too.
* Sora of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' is one through chance. Riku, his best friend, was chosen to wield the Keyblade {{spoiler|by [[Birth By Sleep|Terra]]}} but because he [[Jumped At the Call|jumped at]] [[Deal with the Devil|the wrong call]] the Keyblade went to the closest candidate at the time (Sora), following which Sora goes off to save the worlds. He then earns his position as [[The Hero|Keyblade Wielder]] by winning the Keyblade back from Riku by understanding [[the Power of Friendship]].
** In [[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Birth By Sleep]] it's revealed that of the original trio Sora, Riku and Kairi, {{spoiler|Sora}} was the only one incapable of wielding the Keyblade {{spoiler|though the reason why he can is probably because Ventus is inside his heart}}. Granted, {{spoiler|Kairi}} wasn't intentional.
*** And it's revealed that there are ''three'' types of Keyblade: {{spoiler|The Keyblades of Light (Sora's and Riku's), the Keyblades of Dark (Mickey's) and the Keyblades of the Hearts of Worlds (who we haven't seen anyone wield yet...)}}
* Occurs frequently in the ''[[Tales (series)]]:''
Line 129:
* Adol Christin of ''[[Ys]]'' is an inversion: he became [[Badass]] not because he was [[The Chosen One]], he became (or repeatedly gets picked as) [[The Chosen One]] because he's [[Badass]]. Because if your land needs a savior, it's an excellent idea to pick [[Badass Normal|the guy]] who's already killed enough dark gods to fill a pantheon. In the sixth game's Trials of Alma sidequest, the daughter of the goddess running said trials isn't very impressed with this random guy who just showed up, but when Adol started passing the trials, apparently she went and asked around about you. She becomes ''much'' more impressed and respectful after that.
* [[Subverted]] in the ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' series as a whole. It is implied in the first game that your character, good or bad, is just saying [[Screw Destiny]], and that's true enough in regards to {{spoiler|their divine parent's}} plans. But in the last installment, when it's time to finally put an end to the events foretold by the prophecy that's been haunting their lives, it's revealed that it {{spoiler|actually comes with a clause saying that the protagonist is [[The Chosen One|the one]] who can prevent it and save the world a lot of strife (again, even if they choose the evil option).}}
* A rather low-key example due to her [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger|late arrival]] and [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character|consequent lack of character development]], but Princess Himi of Yamatai in ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' qualifies. Because of a prophecy, her adventurer brother Takeru is away from home {{spoiler|searching for the Warriors of Vale}} when the {{spoiler|Grave Eclipse happens}}, and Himi takes it upon herself to join our heroes and save the day, over her father's protests.
* In ''[[Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning]]'', everything runs on [[You Can't Fight Fate]]. Except for The Fateless One, who is [[Immune to Fate]] due to being resurrected by the Well of Souls. Which is good because there is no Chosen One destined to defeat the invading Tuatha Deohn.
* In ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', ''you'' are not the chosen one. {{spoiler|Your son is.}}
