* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': While it is common for a master of Hokuto Shinken to [[TheChosenMany take many pupils under their tutelage]] as Ryuken had Kenshiro and his adoptive brothers, the laws of Hokuto Shinken dictate there may be only one master, and those not chosen must vow to give up using Hokuto Shinken, or face the consequences. Kenshiro is ultimately chosen as the new master of Hokuto Shinken, and in the time following [[AfterTheEnd the nuclear war]], becomes revered by many as the "Savior of Century's End" when he uses Hokuto Shinken to save the innocent and condemn the wicked.

* ''Anime/KingArthur'': The archbishop declares that one who draws the sacred sword is the king, so all the kings of Logres challenge him, but none of them can draw their sword. However, the moment Arthur puts his hand on the handle, the sword begins to emit a dazzling light, signifying he's the chosen one.

* In ''Manga/MakeTheExorcistFallInLove'', Father is a uniquely powerful exorcist declared by the pope to have been chosen by God himself to exorcize Satan. His "Miracle Amplification" ability lets him recreate any of God's miracles from the Bible and enables him to go toe-to-toe with the Demon Lords of Hell single-handedly. As a result, the Vatican repeatedly refers to him as the "Child of Hope" destined to deliver them from the demonic threat. But this is also {{Deconstructed|Trope}}, as this position puts enormous pressure on Father's shoulders and completely deprived him of a normal life. Being constantly sent against the forces of Hell and forced to suffer for the sake of others has left him with lasting trauma and [[ShellShockedVeteran severe mental health issues]].

* Subverted and then played straight in ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao'' right on the first episode where the protagonist is calculated to be this generation's [[spoiler:demon king]]. Six chapters later, [[spoiler:Hiroshi is also shown to be sorted as the next Hero, and this is confirmed by taking on the legendary weapon.]]

* Though it doesn't fit perfectly, Nasu says that in the ''{{Franchise/Nasuverse}}'', only one person can be born with the potential to possess "Eyes of Death Perception". This is notable because it implies that [[LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners Ryougi Shiki]] and [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Tohno Shiki]] exist in [[AlternateUniverse separate universes.]]

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': A title "Child of Prophecy" variously ascribed to Minato, Nagato and Naruto. Since Nagato and Minato both died without doing anything nearly as Chosen One-y as Naruto, it's a safe bet that Naruto's the real one. [[spoiler: Then, later in the series, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, it’s revealed that there isn’t just one Child of Prophecy, there are two and Sasuke is revealed to be the second Child of Prophecy, as both Naruto and Sasuke are the ones prophesied to change the Shinobi World. They are then revealed by The Sage of Six Paths to be the {{reincarnations}} of his two sons, Asura and Indra, and after their conversation, they're both given half of the Sage's power]].

** Then the Chosen One idea is brought back in ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]'' and it’s ''Super'' retelling, where Goku becomes a Super Saiyan God and the soundtrack for the ascension is even called the Chosen One. Also, unique to Goku, he keeps the power of godhood even after the time limit runs out, as Beerus himself states that Goku somehow absorbed the Super Saiyan God power.

** Kale, the Universe 6 equivalent of Broly, is also this, However unlike Universe 7 her form is called a Demon Saiyan, and unlike Broly, she doesn’t require a wrathful state to use this transformation. In the manga, she purposely hid her true power so she couldn’t shame Caulifla’s pride.
