* ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'' is heavily based on ''Literature/MushokuTensei'' with its premise and characters being lifted nearly wholesale from that novel, especially in its first few volumes. However, over time the former becomes far DarkerAndEdgier compared to its inspiration, given how its plot revolves around a DivineConflict and does not shy from showing the horrors of war and how it affects its protagonists. Even though it continues to lift a few elements from the latter in said later volumes - such as [[spoiler:the TopGod turning out to be EvilAllAlong, the protagonist meeting people from his past life, and the protagonist learning that he is a ParadoxPerson due to his reincarnation]] - it takes these elements to a much darker extreme.
** To elaborate on its protagonist, Arthur himself seems to be a VirtuousCharacterCopy of Rudeus at first - both are adult men who reincarnated into a fantasy world upon death, became a extremely talented mage and adventurer at such a young age thanks to retaining their past mindset, and attract the attention of several potential LoveInterest[=s=] - with the only major difference at first being that Arthur is a CelibateHero who spurns most girls due to the mental age gap in sharp contrast to the perverted ManChild that is Rudeus. However, Arthur diverges from his inspiration in many respects as the story progresses. While Rudeus ends up becoming a WizardClassic who expands on his original powerset, Arthur is a MagicKnight who [[spoiler:ends up losing his original powerset only to RePower himself with an even stronger powerset and [[CameBackStrong Come Back Strong]]]].

Derivative Differentiation is when characters were originally more similar to their inspirations before becoming more unique. But there was never a point when the characters from Watchmen were more similar to their Charlton counterparts. (Also: according to most accounts, the characters from Watchmen were originally just supposed to be Charlton characters; the story was originally pitched after DC Comics acquired the rights to the characters)

* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' by Creator/AlanMoore and Dave Gibbons was based on AlternateCompanyEquivalent of Creator/CharltonComics. In the course of writing, Moore and Gibbons moved away from their inspirations by careful reinterpretation and altering the characters:
** The Peacemaker was a US diplomat and MartialPacifist who believes in peace so much he fights for it, and works with government authorities to take down warlords and dictators. Moore found the idea bizarre (believing in peace and pacifically subverting foreign governments and passing it off as diplomacy) and so made him The Comedian who thinks everything is a joke and nihilistically serves the US Government's foreign policy even if he's entirely cynical and indifferent to its idealistic and political justifications.
** The Question, as Moore noted in interviews, was Ditko's self-created audience-friendly whitewash of ComicBook/MrA. Where Mr. A was outright propaganda for Randian ideas, the Question subscribed to objective ideas but had a civilian and superhero work/life balance working as an IntrepidReporter who had a smart-guy scientist create the chemicals that gave him his face-mask, which made his adventures work like a traditional superhero story with Randian subtext that audiences could take-or-leave. Moore made Rorschach a full-time superhero without a civilian identity, while also making him a SmallStepsHero interested in seeking the truth like the Question and Mr. A, which meant that Rorschach became a hobo and the only avenues for "truth" he would be interested in are extremist publications that validate his biases (like the New Frontiersman).
** Ditko's Ted Kord Blue Beetle was a LegacyCharacter to Dan Garret's Blue Beetle (civilian alter-ego created by Creator/WillEisner) and he was intended to be athletic, energetic, and enterprising compared to Garret. In Moore's version on account of Dr. Manhattan's arrival ending the costume superhero age just at the moment that Dan Dreiberg aka Nite Owl II wanted to get in, the dynamic is reversed. Hollis Mason or Nite Owl I is a fit-for-his age handsome older man who has a sense of achievement and contentment about his life, while Dreiberg or Blue Beetle II is a mid-life crisis pot-bellied JadedWashout.
** Captain Atom or Allen Adam as he was called in the Charlton Era was a lab technician who accidentally got atomized during a nuclear rocket launch[[note]](DC would later call him Nathaniel Adam and alter his origin into a willing test subject)[[/note]] and then somehow reformed his own atoms and became a being of pure energy who needed to wear special outfits to shield people from radiation. Moore updated this very obvious origin (a Silver Age ExcusePlot made without any real awareness of actual particle physics and radiation) with QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything, noting that reforming oneself into matter would not happen on the atomic but on the smallest possible level and rather than an excuse plot, the quantum understanding of the universe fundamentally changes and alters Jon Osterman's personality and understanding of life. This also allowed Moore to do away with radiation and with that a need for a special outfit to shield others, hence why Dr. Manhattan walks around nude.
** Nightshade was a woman who was the daughter of a US Senator and a woman with magical powers and teleportation abilities. Moore and Gibbons didn't find her especially interesting so they borrowed from the Black Canary who had Golden and Silver Age versions. However, Nightshade's dad being a US Senator informs Laurie's revelation that her father is The Comedian, a government operative and black ops assassin.
** Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt created by Peter Morisi (a former NYPD cop turned writer) was a Charlton acquisition that had traits common to Doc Savage and Bruce Wayne, namely in that he was an orphaned child of philanthropists who traveled around the world and became a McNinja. He was also known for using "the unused portion of the brain" and being super-intelligent with the ability of clairvoyance and anticipating future outcomes. Moore kept the "unused portion of the brain" pseudo-science and played it straight (since it allows Adrian Veidt, Ozymandias to be a compelling villain) but played up the entire clairvoyance and idea that he could predict the future as an expression of an overly deterministic and utilitarian mindset, and likewise leaves it ambiguous and uncertain if what Veidt did averted an apocalypse, if it was AllForNothing, and also revealing in the end an entirely uncertain and unsure man behind the facade of superhuman intelligence.

* Creator/AlanMoore's run on ''ComicBook/{{Miracleman}}'' (previously called ''Marvelman'') is a famous example. The series was originally created by Mick Anglo in the mid-1950s as a blatant British clone of the popular American superhero comic ''[[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]'', which had recently been temporarily cancelled at the time due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal difficulties]]. Much later, Moore famously revived it in the 1980s as a shockingly grim {{deconstruction}} of the superhero genre written for an adult audience, which could perhaps best be described as "''Captain Marvel'' retold as a '''{{horror}} story'''". Beyond the tonal shift, he also took the premise and core characters in a noticeably different direction, allowing the series to establish more of an identity of its own. In addition to being a deconstruction of the original series, Moore's run is also a sequel taking place after a decades-long TimeSkip, allowing the KidHero Micky Moran to become a married adult man, and allowing his sidekick Kid Marvelman to undergo a truly disturbing FaceHeelTurn. It also {{retcon}}s his origin story, revealing that he actually got his superpowers from a secret government experiment called "Project Zarathustra".

* In its original manga appearance, ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' was very clearly a simplified BlandNameProduct version of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' with the mana system taken out, down to being named "Magic and Wizards" and borrowing a few creature designs. As it moved from a one-off game to a focus of the plot, it started showing off more and more elements that had no roots in ''Magic'', such as Trap cards and various means of monster-summoning that used other monsters as resources. ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' further shifted the game's art direction towards anime-esqie ScienceFantasy as opposed to ''Magic'''s ''D&D''-esque StandardFantasySetting, and placed a greater focus on archetypes, or small groups of cards that share a part of their name. Another major differentiation came due to ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' lacking the rotation format that ''Magic'' uses, meaning that it sees a significantly greater level of PowerCreep. Nowadays, the only thing the two games have in common is that they're both competitive card games with a fantasy theme.

In-universe, Nicholas, who had a fragile mental state to begin with, deeply struggles with the perceived inadequacy of ''Animal Investigator'' and frequently criticizes himself for not being original enough. His game in-universe is scathingly mocked online for being a ripoff of ''Animal Police'' and various Youtubers tell him to "put more of himself" into the game, pressuring Nicholas to re-live his own trauma for the sake of making a more original product. Consequentially the series progressively spirals into a full-on CreatorBreakdown, becoming less about the game itself and more about Nicholas' trauma, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation as gameplay footage [[MindScrew gradually devolves into Nicholas' own traumatic hallucinations]]. All that is to say, ''AI Builds'' is a character study that exists as a StealthSequel to an AffectionateParody of ''Petscop'' and is intentionally similar to ''Petscop'' in order to reflect the protagonist's insecurity and self-loathing.

* ''Franchise/DragonBall'' was an irreverent retelling of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' that mashed up {{Fantasy}} with ScienceFiction elements in its first arc. The second and fourth arcs were a parody of ''Film/SnakeInTheEaglesShadow'' (with the third arc being [[SeriesFauxnale a possible conclusion]] in case the manga was canceled) with the fantasy elements from its origins left over and even more science fiction tropes. Come the seventh arc (where the anime changed names to ''Anime/DragonBallZ''), the story became a twisted version of ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}'' with even more science fiction tropes and then a more supernatural take on ''Film/TheTerminator'' by the [[LongRunner ninth]] arc. Since then, ''Dragon Ball'' as a whole has become less derivative and more of its own beast. Most attempts to continue the series beyond arc ten (''Anime/DragonBallGT'', ''Videogame/DragonBallOnline'', ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'') either draw on the distinctive elements of the world it created or try to build on said world in ways that do not blatantly draw from another series, and there are several {{non serial movie}}s which either rehash well known ''Dragon Ball'' plots or spin new ones out of ''Dragon Ball'' conventions.

* ''Animation/CrazyCandies'': The first season is notorious for copying a number of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episodes and jokes, so for Season 2 they largely stopped doing that apart from at least one episode. In Season 6, they gave the series a story about Marshyo and Jackey finding ingredients to cook gourmet foods for Mr. Seed - ''[=SpongeBob SquarePants=]'' didn't have any significant overarching plot like that.
* ''Animation/DobyAndDisy'': Season 2 got rid of the FakeInteractivity segments and fleshed out the character personalities to be more original than ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer''. Every season from that one onwards has its own topic to teach that isn't English (similar to how ''Dora'' teaches Spanish), such as Chinese characters, music, and problem solving.
* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': The character personalities and the way that magical girl powers work, as well as some pieces of lore such as a MissingMom, were similar to ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' in the first season, but in Season 2, more focus was put on the fairy world and more magical girls were put in protagonist roles alongside An'an - among other things - to correct this problem.

* [[Music/DJRozwell KFC Murder Chicks]] began as a clear homage to rock-rave crossover music, drawing from Music/MachineGirl and Music/TheProdigy. It wasn't until ''Loss Prevention Reloaded'' and ''KFCMC'' that they began differentiating themselves by taking elements from breakcore and black metal.

* ''VideoGame/TowerOfFantasy'' started off as a a MMORPG game likely inspired by ''Videogame/GenshinImpact'' and ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' but is set in an PostCyberPunk ScavengerWorld closer in feel to ''Videogame/{{Borderlands}}'', compared to its inspirations which are single player games set in a HighFantasy world. But there were so many similar aspects between the game and ''Genshin'' that there was controversy of the game being a ''Genshin'' rip-off from numerous gamers and game journalists early on. Updates starting in "2.0" began focusing on the cyberpunk and MMORPG aspects, slowly helping it distance itself from its inspirations and creating its own identity.

This also allowed Moore to do away with radiation and with that a need for a special outfit to shield others, hence why Dr. Manhattan walks around nude.

The Wood Elves, living in a forest just one letter short of "Lorien", needed a few editions to gradually move away from (ironically enough) the elves of Mirkwood.
