1[[WMG: The following pairs of people are either reincarnations of each other, or are twins that have been separated at birth]]
2* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Fai]][[Series/{{Angel}} th]] and [[Series/{{Dollhouse}} Echo/Caroline]]
3* [[Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar Emperor Beld]] and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]]
4* [[Literature/InheritanceCycle Durza]] and Ganondorf
5** This implies that Durza was morally good, since he, you know, DIED, and Ganon hasn't yet. Which means that Ganon is more powerful than Durza. So yeah, it turns out that Eragon is evil.
6* [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]] and Ganondorf
7* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]] and Ganondorf
8* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Sunset Shimmer]] and [[OverlyLongGag Ganondorf]]
9** Sunset is probably Ganondorf's reincarnation, rather than the other way around; she had the guts to admit that she was going down the wrong path, and managed to turn her life around. This was at the eleventh hour, to say the least; but still.
10* [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma (female)]] and [[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Kasumi]]
11* [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma (female)]] and [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Hikaru Shidou]]
12* [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma (female)]] and [[Literature/{{Slayers}} Lina Inverse]]
13* [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Laharl]] and [[WMG/PhantomBrave Ash]] and [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Almaz]]
14* [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Adell]] and Luke (''Tales of the Abyss'')
15* [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Neku]] and [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]]
16* Minato from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and the MC from VideoGame/DevilSurvivor as well as [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Naoto]], separated ''triplets''
17* [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Riku]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]], not quite sure on the relation but there is ''some'' relation
18* [[Anime/DragonBallZ Frieza]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]]
19* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Zack Fair]] and [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Kaien Shiba]] are clearly the same person
20* [[Anime/{{Noir}} Kirika]] and [[Literature/KinosJourney Kino]] and [[Manga/TheDaughterOfTwentyFaces Chiko.]]
21* [[Manga/DeathNote Ryuk]] and [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney's]] Hades.
22** '''And''' the Heath Ledger incarnation of ComicBook/TheJoker.
23* [[Manga/SoulEater Maka Albarn]] and [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]]
24* [[Manga/XxxHOLiC Watanuki]] and [[WMG/SayonaraZetsubouSensei Itoshiki-sensei]]
25* [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort]] and [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Orochimaru]]
26** And Music/MichaelJackson.
27* [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} David Xanatos]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]]
28* [[Anime/YuGiOh Dartz]] and [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]]
29* [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge]]
30** And [[Anime/YuGiOh Seto Kaiba]], unless you believe he is their [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries estranged love child]].
31* Franchise/{{Batman}} and [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Dr. McNinja]]
32* [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Eriol Hiiragizawa]], Literature/HarryPotter, [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Negi Springfield]], [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Ponder Stibbons]], and [[ComicBook/TheBooksOfMagic Tim Hunter]]
33* [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Ansem]] and [[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena Akio]]
34* [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 The God-Emperor of Mankind]] and [[ComicBook/XMen Professor Charles Xavier]]
35** Couldn't they be not reincarnations of each other, but actually ''the same'' person?
36** Here's a sillier idea: The God-Emperor of Mankind [[FanFic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind and]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Celestia]]
37*** No, no, no! They're dating!
38* [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief]] and [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Cloud Strife]]
39* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]] and [[Anime/WolfsRain Cheza]]. [[OracularUrchin The evidence is here]].
40* [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth]] and [[Manga/FushigiYuugi Nakago]] ("Everything I've done I've done for you, Sarah. I mean Yui. Yui! I mean -- hey, come back here!")
41** Furthermore, Jareth is Graf von Krolock's brother, who was stolen by the goblins as a baby and raised as their own, eventually becoming King. When he tried to reconnect with his brother, there was a massive falling-out between them over their mutual interest in teenage girls named Sarah who were bored and felt unappreciated at home. However, before going back to the Goblin City, Jareth was pleased to see that his personality type and appearance apparently ran in the Krolock bloodline and had extended to his nephew Herbert.
42** The theory of Jareth's connection with Nakago is solidified by ''Return to Labyrinth''. Because of, you know, the art form.
43* [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Pluto and Mamoru]] (Oooold joke)
44* [[Franchise/AceAttorney Miles Edgeworth]] and [[Anime/YuGiOhGX Edo/Aster Phoenix]]
45** By that logic: Phoenix Wright and Daichi/Bastion Misawa.
46* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric Elric of Melniboné]] Hideaki Anno IS a huge fan of English-language science fiction and fantasy, and the personalities of these two characters are so similar that Anno must be familiar with Moorcock's work. There are even some odd parallels in the overall plots, if you squint a bit.
47* Alternately, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] and [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]].
48** These are not mutually exclusive. Cue Elric saying "Good grief!"
49* In the same vein, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Misato Katsuragi]], [[Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella Wonderella]], and [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Bangladesh DuPree]] are all incarnations of the same person in different timelines.
50** [[WordOfGod This is practically canon]] for Misato and [[Anime/SailorMoon Usagi Tsukino]].
51* [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Dr. Clayton Forrester]] and [[Series/BeakmansWorld Beakman]].
52* [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Mr. Fantastic]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius J.R. "Bob" Dobbs]].
53** Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Will Magnus, creator of the ComicBook/MetalMen.
54* [[Literature/{{Slayers}} Xelloss]] and [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Lord Varys]].
55* [[Manga/ExcelSaga Hyatt]] and [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Juushiro Ukitake]].
56* [[Series/{{Farscape}} Scorpius]] and [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Psycho Mantis]]: deformed pale guys dressed in bondage gear who are ''really'' good at screwing with your head.
57** While [[Anime/CodeGeass Mao]] doesn't have the outfit, he probably still counts.
58* [[Series/BuffytheVampireSlayer Giles]] and [[{{Series/Firefly}} Shepherd]]
59* [[Franchise/{{Halo}} 343 Guilty Spark]] and [[Franchise/StarWars C-3PO]]
60* [[Series/{{House}} Dr. Gregory House]] and [[VideoGame/HalfLife Dr. Gordon Freeman]]
61** Dr. House and Dr. Manga/BlackJack
62* [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquer Kane]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]]
63* [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari.]] Rei's counterpart is Dorthy, Asuka's is Angel, and Big O itself is Eva Unit 01.
64* [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Integra Hellsing]] and [[Literature/TrinityBlood Catherina Sforza]]
65* [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue Micheal J Caboose]] and WebAnimation/HomestarRunner
66* [[Music/TheBeatles Paul McCartney]] and [[Film/AcrossTheUniverse2007 Jude Feeney.]]
67* [[MemeticBadass Chuck Norris]] and [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]]
68* [[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]] and [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt0IMa-m5rI more!]]
69* [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]] and [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Orihime]]. Separated at birth, by time, space, and dimensions.
70* [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Kisuke Urahara]] and [[Manga/ShamanKing FaustVIII]], although the former doesn't have a wife.
71* [[Series/DrakeAndJosh Megan]] and [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]].
72* [[Series/{{Heroes}} Peter Petrelli]] and ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan'' and [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Emo Peter Parker]]
73* [[Series/{{Heroes}} Sylar]] and [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]], [[Film/StarTrek2009 Spock]], [[Film/DarkCity John Murdock]], [[Series/{{House}} Dr. House]], and [[Literature/GoodOmens Crowley]].
74* [[Literature/GoodOmens Aziraphale]] and [[Series/StargateSG1 Dr. Daniel Jackson]]
75* [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]] and [[Literature/HarryPotter Barty Crouch Jr.]]
76* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Spike]] and [[Series/{{Torchwood}} Captain John Hart]]
77* [[Series/BabylonFive Bester]] and [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Chekov]]
78* [[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon Alma]] and [[VideoGame/Left4Dead the Witch]]
79* [[VideoGame/HalfLife Gordon Freeman]] and [[Franchise/DeadSpace Isaac Clarke]]
80* [[Film/DirtyHarry Lt. Harry Callahan]], [[TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy Captain Harald Kleindeinst]], [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Commander Sir Samuel Vimes]], and ComicBook/JudgeDredd.
81* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Zidane Tribal]] and [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]], even before the Actor Rule confirmed it
82* [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Toph Bei Fong]] and [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Vita]]
83* [[Manga/FruitsBasket Yuki Sohma]] and [[Manga/ShugoChara Tadase Hotori]]
84* [[Manga/FruitsBasket Akito Sohma]] and [[Manga/ShugoChara Ikuto Tsukynomi]]
85* WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder and WesternAnimation/HandyManny
86* [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin]] and [[Webcomic/OzyAndMillie Millie Mudd]]
87* [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Susie Derkins]] and [[ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn Phoebe Howell]]
88** All but confirmed by [[Creator/DanaSimpson the author]] of ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'', who set out to write the "Calvin and Hobbes about a little girl" that Bill Watterson wished for in the 10th Anniversary Book.
89* [[WesternAnimation/CorpseBride Emily]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Sally]]. Come on, we never find out where Emily went off to at the end of the movie, and butterflies are symbolic of reincarnation. It's perfect!
90** And by extension, [[WesternAnimation/CorpseBride Victor Van Dort]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]]
91* The [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Series 5 Rangers]] are either the reincarnation of the [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures Quest-Bannon family]] or Team Series/{{Leverage}}.
92* [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] and [[VideoGame/TheBouncer Sion]].
93* [[Anime/SamuraiChamploo Mugen]] and [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Jet]].
94* 343 Guilty Spark and [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} Wheatley]].
95* [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Fi]] and [=GLaDOS=].
96* [[Literature/MonsterHunterInternational Julie]] and [[Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo Julie]]
97* [[Literature/FateZero Kiritsugu Emiya]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]].
98* [[Music/EvilliousChronicles Kayo Sudou]] and [[Manga/PandoraHearts Vincent Nightray]]. Extremely likely, considering how their universes work.
99* [[Manga/PandoraHearts Xerxes Break]] and [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle Fai D. Florite]]. Tell me that doesn't explain everything.
100* [[VideoGame/PandorasTower Elena]] and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Sakura Matou]].
101* [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Sapphire]] and [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Vivian.]]
102* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] and [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Mabel Pines.]] This will cause a diplomatic incident since Mabel beat the literal blood, sweat and hair out of Celestabellebethabelle, who is obviously either Celestia in her bratty teenage years, or Celestia's BrattyTeenageDaughter.
103* Webcomic/{{minus}} and [[Literature/ItsAGoodLife Anthony Fremont]].
104* [[Literature/{{Matilda}} Matilda Wormwood]] and [[Literature/StarBright Star Holmes]].
105* [[Literature/TheHampdenshireWonder Victor Stott]], [[Literature/OddJohn John Wainwright]], and [[Manga/MedakaBox Medaka Kurokami]].
106* [[Film/TheLastJedi Kylo Ren]] and [[Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower Sauron as Halbrand]], even the dialogue is almost the same when they ask the female protagonist to rule alongside them and bring ''ORDER''.
107* [[Manga/{{The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really Really Love You}} Mai Meido]] and [[Literature/TheMaid Molly Gray]]
108
109[[WMG: The nameless hero from ''Hero'' is the reincarnation of King Leonidas from ''Film/ThreeHundred''.]]
110Both take a stand against tyrants, both successfully defend themselves against overwhelming odds, and both eventually fall to a RainOfArrows. It does seem, however, that the two hundred years or so he spent in the Underworld before reincarnating has mellowed Leonidas somewhat, which is why the hero doesn't ever scream, "This! Is! CHINA!!!"
111* The one calligraphist assassin might have gotten some of Leonidas' attitude, even if he shows it in the more "civilized" form of writing giant letters in the sand.
112** The hero in Hero is also a pussy when it comes to Tyranny. That's BAD mellowing.
113
114[[WMG: [[Franchise/DragonBall Son Goku]] and [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Captain Carrot]] are alternate-universe clones.]]
115Both were abandoned at birth and [[RaisedByWolves raised by different species]], and both are generally amazingly naive about life. And they're both apparently able to make the most depraved, evil people imaginable behave like pure-of-heart idealists through believing in the goodness buried within them. Moreover, [[BewareTheNiceOnes both are fully capable of absolutely destroying]] the few that don't respond to the "I believe in you!" treatment. Plus. there's the whole Kakarott/Carrot thing.
116** While lacking the RaisedByWolves thing (although he did ''raise'' a wolf...) [[Series/DueSouth RCMP Constable Benton Fraser]] is another alternate Carrot. See "[[http://paulejamison.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=48 Due Rimward]]" by Paul Jamison for further details.
117** Goku and Franchise/{{Superman}} are also alternate reality counterparts. Each is one of the few survivors of their home planet (which blew up/was blown up), is the sworn protector of Earth, and can fly, among other things. This would also put an end to the debate of which is stronger: neither, they're both basically the same person.
118
119[[WMG: All formidable older gentlemen who wear [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatches]] or wide-brimmed hats are [[Myth/NorseMythology Odin]] in disguise.]]
120At minimum, this includes [[VideoGame/MetalGear Big Boss]], ComicBook/NickFury, and [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]] - all of whom were active in Odin's areas of interest.
121
122* [[Film/{{Highlander}} Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez]]
123* Comicbook/{{Deathstroke}}
124* [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry General Chang]]
125* [[WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn The Cat]]
126
