Added DiffLines:

* The single example in ''Series/KamenRiderGotchard'' is Kamen Rider Dread, which was first used unwillingly before being used willingly by the villains. The power set has been used by at least ''six'' users, and most of them rarely wear it for more than a single episode.

** ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'': The in-universe production staff share their Rider titles, though each one tends to have their own minor variations. Game Masters become Kamen Rider Glare, first Girori then his replacement Chirami. Niramu the producer becomes Kamen Rider Gazer, which is then used by his boss Suel. Downplayed with Kamen Rider Regad, as two people do technically use the powers, but the first is a kind of RemoteBody puppet for the second.

Updating the Doctor Who section, since recent events had made the existing information out-of-date.


** The main character is probably the most famous {{Meta}} example, with the regeneration PlotDevice being used to carry the same in-universe characters (the Doctor and other Time Lords) across multiple real life actors. The show has been running for half a century and is on its 13th Doctor, or technically 15th, with two Doctors not numbered (the War Doctor, the 9th regeneration, and the Meta-Crisis Doctor, the 12th regeneration). Being chosen to portray the Doctor is, in some circles, akin to being chosen Pope.

removing some Kamen Rider examples since they're reboots and homages, not actually inheriting from other people in-universe


** ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'': While one of the few shows where all of the Rider suits have only ever been held by one user, the show's various movies feature legacy versions of ''Series/SpaceIronmenKyodain'', ''Series/Daitetsujin17'', and ''{{Series/Inazuman}}''.



** ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'': After helping kill his brother, Micchy takes Takatora's belt and becomes the second Kamen Rider Zangetsu-Shin. Because Micchy has none of his brother's combat skills, he's almost immediately outed as an impostor. One episode centers around a legacy version of ''{{Series/Kikaider}}'' in similar fashion to the ''Fourze'' examples.

** ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'': ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'' has a few titles changing hands: The mantle of Kamen Rider Demons passes from Hiromi to Olteca, [[ArtifactOfDeath after the Demons actual demon within the Driver finishes eating its sucking Hiromi's life force]]. Once the demon escapes the Driver, George takes it and fights as Demons once before giving it back to a (somewhat) recovered Hiromi. Hikaru also passes his title of Kamen Rider Over Demons to Tamaki; and one of the movie Riders, Kamen Rider Chimera, is actually the second -- a web series shows that Nozomu became Chimera after the first, his friend Ryu, was killed in action.

** While most ''Enterprise''s tend to pop up really quickly, at least a year between the lost/decommissioning of the last, there's a 19 year gap between the sinking of the ''C'' and the launch of the ''D'' while, canonically, we don't know the fate of the ''B'' or when it was brought to its end. Nor is what became of the ''E'' entirely clear, only that "something" happened to it on its final mission while under Worf's command ([[NeverMyFault for which he takes NO responsibility]]) and its fate is officially listed simply as "classified". Whatever happened, it precipitated the accelerated rollout of the ''Enterprise''-F that same year.

The ''Enterprise''-G was also rolled out within a year of the retirement and/or loss of the ''F''.



** The USS ''Voyager'' and USS ''Titan'' have also joined the club as well alongside the ''Enterprise''. ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' introduces the USS ''Voyager'' NCC-74656-J when the USS ''Discovery'' arrives in the 32nd century. A shuttlecraft bearing the registry NCC-74656-A is seen at the end of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy'', implying that a ''Voyager''-A is in service at that time, and technical readout for the USS ''Voyager'' NCC-74656-B is seen during ''Series/StarTrekPicard''. Meanwhile, the hero ship of Picard's third season is the Constitution III-class USS ''Titan'' NCC-80102-A, taking over from the original Luna-class USS ''Titan'' and the Shangri-La-class USS ''Titan'' NCC-1777 commanded by Captain Saavik.

** While it's a bit unclear if the main team on [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]] is this or not[[note]]They inherit their wands/morphers from the previous generation of Mystic Wizards, but it's never clearly explained whether or not the Mystic Wizards were also Power Rangers, even though other characters who were around back then (Udonna and Daggeron) do have their own Ranger morphs. [[spoiler: And when Leanbow, the previous Red Mystic Wizard, comes back, he gets his own separate morph from Nick's Red Mystic Ranger.]][[/note]], it's played straight with Clare, who inherits the mantle of Gatekeeper from her mother Niella.
