History Main / IAmNotMyFather

-->''Charr:''' Yes, but I despise him. I've broken several jaws reminding people that I'm not responsible for my father's actions.

* Komaru Naegi in ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' embodies this trope throughout the game, with many people, especially the BigBad, comparing her to [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc her older brother Makoto]] and his status as HopeBringer. Not that she wants that sort of title; she's fine with just being a regular girl. [[spoiler: Monaca's plan actually involves making her into a carbon copy of her brother, bringing hope to Towa City only to throw it back into chaos, starting a war that'll re-invigorate [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the Tragedy]]. The ultimate failure in her plan are that she overestimates Komaru, who ''doesn't'' want to emulate her brother.]]
--> '''Komaru:''' ...There's no way I could imitate him. And no way I'd want to. I am not my brother. Makoto is Makoto...[[IAmWhatIAm and I am me.]]
* When making a Charr in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', two of your options is that your father was a Gladium who abandoned his warband and lives in honorless shame, or an outright traitor [[ReligionOfEvil Flame Legion]] shaman, you character adresses the trope if you picked the latter when your father comes up in a discussion.
---> Charr: "Yes, but I despise him, I've broken several jaws reminding people that I'm not responsible for my father's actions."

* Spoken word for word by Jake Muller in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'', who becomes determined not to turn out like his father [[spoiler: [[OmnicidalManiac Albert Wesker]].]]
--> '''Jake:''' You know what? I’m not my father. And I’m gonna make damn sure that it stays that way. We’re getting out of here, and you’re gonna save the world.
* Kazuya from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' hates his father Heihachi. Heihachi's adopted son Lee goes further than this by completely disowning his adopted father.

* ''Manga/BlueExorcist'': There's no way in ''[[IncrediblyLamePun hell]]'' [[AntiAntiChrist Rin Okumura]] is going to turn out like his biological father, {{Satan}} himself.

* A brotherly version occurs in ''LightNovel/AvestaOfBlackAndWhite'' with Magsarion. He is the younger brother of the great hero Varhram. After Varhram died during the Day of Collapse 20 years before the start of the story everyone is now saddling Magsarion with their hopes and ideals for him to be the same kind of hero Varhram was. Magsarion however wants none of this and is actively doing everything in his power to be as different from his brother as he can, utterly loathing being compared to someone he hated so. [[spoiler:This hatred even gave birth to a Commandment that requires him to be as different as possible, just so that he can be seen as his own person. Things gets more complicated once it is revealed that he is not the brother but in fact the bastard child of Varhram and that the great hero [[TheSociopath was not as virtuous as he presented himself]]. This reveal however opens the floodgates for Magsarion to finally grow into his own]].

* These are [[ActionGirl Ashelin]]'s exact words to Jak in ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade''.
