Or the same applied to a big sister. Sometimes a younger sibling just adores their older slightly bigger brother or sister. And it makes sense. After all they are older and more mature, and usually bigger too, and able to do a lot of cool things like adults, but are also closer to your age and willing to do fun things with you and play with you. They [[BigBrotherInstinct protect you too]]. Why wouldn't you just agree with everything they tell you?

* [[CuteShotaroBoy Ventus]] in KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep has a massive case of this going on for TeamDad[=/=]BigBrotherMentor [[AntiHero Terra]]. Edges into tragic as it blinds Ven to the fact Terra is starting to fall to the Darkness. [[spoiler:Eventually Terra ends up slipping into KnightTemplarBigBrother territory.]]
* In FatalFrame, Miku's primary motivation for entering the HauntedMansion is due to the bond she has with her older brother Mafuyu, who is the latest to disappear into the old house.

* HatsukoiLimited, being something that explores all kinds of [[[BrotherSisterIncest first loves]] does this with Koyoi Bessho, so much so that her brother Yoshihiko is literally a [[TheGlomp glomp]] on site target.

!! Examples:

* ''SoukouNoStrain'' has Sara, who idolizes her older brother Ralph and joins the military to see him. By the end of the first episode, he's [[FaceHeelTurn gone evil]] and killed her friends, and she has to come to terms with her [[BigBrotherAttraction Big Brother Complex]] before she can defeat him. [[spoiler:The same goes for the living Emily, in some respects Ralph's replacement sister, who ends up choosing Sara over her "onii-chan" when she sees what he has done.]]

** And in the Manga version, Alyssa has a Big Sister Complex towards Natsuki, desperately wanting her attention from basically the moment they meet. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: her Mother Complex is even bigger, and when Natsuki turns on their shared mom, Alyssa goes ''berserk''.]]

* Asami from ''High School Debut'' has a huge {{Big Brother Complex}} with her brother Yoh that really becomes apparent in the last few chapters. She says he's her ideal guy and tells his girlfriend she loves him more and actually cries when it's pointed out she can't be his girlfriend because she's his sister. She does all of this despite having a boyfriend (who she started going out with because her brother wasn't paying enough attention to her).

* Strange case in ''ReBoot'', as both brothers involved are the ''same'' person (TimeSkip + System Restore = Clones). Little Enzo is obsessed with Big Enzo (Matrix)'s life and thinks Matrix is the best person to become when he grows up (he even asks to be called Little Matrix). However, Little Enzo realizes just how terrible Matrix's life was when he's asked to repeat what happened to Matrix in order to deal with Daemon. After that point, Little Enzo stops being obsessed with Matrix.
* Ren Uesugi, from TheyAreMyNobleMasters, thinks his sister Mihato is the best there is.
* River Tam showed this in Ariel when Simon rescued the patient. Which is natural as that was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. She has a bit of it at a number of other times too.
** There is an inversion at the beginning when Simon essentially makes a BadassBoast about how smart ''he'' is, then says "She makes me look like an idiot child".

* Dave from ''{{Homestuck}}'' refuses to think there's anything wrong with his Bro, despite his operating a puppet porno site.

* [[TokenLoli Liechtenstein]] feels this way about her adoptive [[BigBrotherMentor Big Brother]] [[TheGunslinger Switzerland]] in ''AxisPowersHetalia''. He found and rescued her in the aftermath of WorldWarI when she went through a horrible recession that almost killed her. Since then, she shares a customs union with him and he protects, teaches, and generally dotes on her.

* [[IllGirl Nunnally Lamperouge]] seems to hold this opinion in regards to her ''Onii-sama'' [[MyHeroZero Lelouch]], who was [[PromotionToParent her only family after being attacked and exiled]]. She does '''not''' take it well when she discovers his role in the Rebellion and what he did (initially) in her name. Notable in that he also holds her on a sort of pedestal, along with his mother, and seems to regain his former status in her heart [[spoiler:[[ThanatosGambit in the most tragic way possible]]]].

* In ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', Mokuba has a ''serious'' case of hero worship over his older brother [[BigBrotherInstinct Se]][[JerkWithAHeartOfGold to]]. It makes sense, given that Seto [[PromotionToParent basically raised him]] since they were five- and ten-years-old. Even though Mokuba still gets kidnapped all the time, he can always rely on his older brother to [[PapaWolf rip his way through the transgressors' ranks to get him back]].
