Which Me?: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Hiro:''' I look upset.

'''Ando:''' Go talk to yourself.

 

By some mechanism, be it [[Time Travel]], [[Alternate Universe]], or [[Cloning Blues]], there are now two or more [[Alternate Self]] editions of a character. Each copy seems unable to get over the fact that every other copy is himself and this shows up in pronouns confusion. Instead of using the third or even the second person, each copy refers to the others exclusively with the first person pronouns.

 

Compare [[My Future Self and Me]].

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Yugi, Bakura, and Marik in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. Though not Millennium item-related, Kaiba and Set(o) might also count.

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* Occurred briefly in the first season of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' between Hiro and Future Hiro, as highlighted in the page quote.

** And in the fourth season, {{spoiler|Hiro goes back in time to the period of the first, talks to his younger self, then calls him(self) a moron after sending him(self) off on a mission intended to avert paradox}}.

** It also leads to some rather bizarre court cases since there are some legal issues where the gate clones are not always considered separate individuals. In one case a person was executed for Manual Operation under the Influence and when his gate clone turns up the judge rules that since he was charged with two counts of MOUI and the clone was created after the commission of the crime it is perfectly legal for them to apply the second death penalty to the gate clone.

*** In another situation a gate clone attempts to murder the original version of himself but instead gets killed by the original acting in self defense. The final police verdict ends up being attempted suicide. Since the clone and the original are legally the same person one murdering the other is technically suicide however since the murder attempt failed the final crime is attempted suicide.

** Recently the Gavs found a way to differentiate themselves from one another, to the point where they are barely recognizable as Gav-clones, especially the females.

* Pretty thoroughly averted in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]].'' Golly and Jolly are both ''biological'' clones of Molly with totally different upbringings, and the castmembers are apparently all bright enough to realize that even if the three look alike, they are different people.
