Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': The titular character in the story is someone other than the main character.
* '''Straight''': In the series ''Lance'', [[TheLancer Lance]] is actually a {{Deuteragonist}} - the main character is [[TheHero Hiro]].
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Even though the series is named for Lance, he's simply a character that shows up in one scene.
** Lance is the titular character, but TheGhost.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Lance is an important character and sometimes gets [[ADayInTheLimelight episodes focused mainly on him]], but Hiro is still the main character.
** The title of the series is ''The Lancer'', which alludes to Lance, but doesn't necessarily mention him outright.
* '''Justified''': Even though Lance isn't the main character, he's still an important force in the story.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''':
** Hiro was the DecoyProtagonist. Lance really ''is'' the hero after all.
** ''Lance'' isn't named after the character, but after a lance that serves as the MacGuffin.
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': The series is named ''Random Extra in the Background of that One Scene''.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Lance and Hiro end up taking turns being the main protagonist of the work.
* '''Averted''':
** The series is named ''Hiro'', after TheHero.
** The series is not named after a character.
* '''Enforced''':
** Lance was going to be the protagonist of the work in early drafts, but by the time the decision was made, it was too late to change the show's title.
** Lance has an important role in the story, so he's made the titular character to symbolize this role.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''':
** "I wonder why this show is named ''Lance'', when Lance is actually the sidekick."
** "Before I first started watching this show, [[IAmNotShazam I thought that Hiro was Lance, because of the title]]."
