* The first three "seasons" of ''Anime/TenchiMuyoRyoOhki'' effectively deals with this trope: [[spoiler:Tsunami, Washu and Tokimi, three superbeings with godlike power (the Japanese term used for them is ''choushin''), have been in search of the avatar of their universe's God, which automatically makes them The Oblivious. However, they go about it their own ways -- Washu is reborn as a semi-normal person and uses her great intellect to create a being who can handle her power, namely Ryoko; Tokimi decides to mess with history to create that person, leading to Z; Tsunami, however, goes about using TheSlowPath and, in modern times, finds Tenchi. Tenchi proves to be the one they're looking for, especially when Z goes power mad and they decide to hit the ResetButton and focus exclusively on Tenchi, though he shifts into the Self-Denouncer as he and the others treat him as normal as possible]].

He's not particularly subtle about this, as one pillar made of solid gold will attest, and his temples operate as casinos in hopes of attracting him.
