* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' Tai Lung is the first devoted pupil of Master Shifu before the story starts. Now he is the enemy of Po and the Furious Five. His first "new hope" was Tigress but his reserved distance only led to a strained relationship. Shifu doesn't find inner peace until he successfully trains Po.

* Luke Skywalker from the ''Franchise/StarWars'' saga was started down the path of the Jedi by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who in the past taught Luke's father Anakin Skywalker before he turned to TheDarkSide and became [[TheDarkLord Darth Vader]]. Unfortunately for Obi-Wan, he didn't get to try to steer Luke away from the Dark Side before [[MentorOccupationalHazard Vader killed him]], and so the task fell to Yoda, the old master who had a part in training both Obi-Wan and Anakin.

* ''Film/{{Rocky}}'' has this as a plot point. Rocky trains at a run-down boxing gym run by Mickey, an aged former fighter. Mickey sees Rocky as washed up, a "tomato" who tossed away his talent and his chance. He's put Rocky's stuff in a bag and given his locker to up-and-comer Dipper Brown, who is the mentor's new hope.
** When the world champion Apollo Creed's opponent can't make a fight, Apollo decides not to cancel but to use the gimmick of giving an unknown fighter a shot at the title. He picks Rocky sight-unseen.
** Rocky now becomes Mickey's old new hope. Mickey comes back to Rocky in a rather undignified manner trying to become his trainer and manager; an equally desperate Rocky accepts.

* ''Manga/SlamDunk'': While it's not very touched upon, it's heavily implied that Professor Anzai sees Sakuragi and Rukawa as this, seeing great potential in both of them. Years ago as a college basketball coach, he trained a very talented player named Ryuji Yazawa, who felt Anzai was too harsh on him and traveled to America thinking he'd have better chances to show off his skills. Reality struck him ''hard'', and eventually fell into a deep depression that culminated with his death in a car crash. This tragedy, along with a letter he received after Yazawa's death, resulted in his transition from the "White-Haired Devil" to the "White-Haired Buddha". Before the nationals, he takes to personally train Sakuragi to perfect his jump shooting, and stops Rukawa from making a rash decision that could potentially make him end up like Yazawa.

* Downplayed in the ''LightNovel/VioletEvergarden'''s movie ''Eternity and the Auto Memories Doll'', where Taylor is this to Benedict. While Benedict is not the archetypal OldMaster, Taylor's passion about delivering mail does help rekindle Benedict's passion for a job that he had grown bored with while training her in postman work.
