Like Yulaw and Gabe Law in The One?
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
Maybe, except your example happens in the same work that both characters debut in, as a form of Alternate Self.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
Or like Jojo's Dio Brando and Diego Brando?
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
Diego Brando comes from a sequel that is still in continuity with previous installments despite the cosmic reboot. To my understanding, sequels do not count as adaptations.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
But seriously, "alternate universe, alternate name" would cover your concept.
And Jojo from Steel Ball Run onward is explicitly an Alternate Universe.
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
^ Refer to my previous comment.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
The various universes that comprise the Mai Hime franchise share many characters, but often change at least part of a given character's full name, e.g. Natsuki Kuga and Shizuru Fujino from Mai-HiME are Natsuki Kruger and Shizuru Viola in Mai-Otome. What is the trope for this?
