* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Monkey D. Luffy's dream is to become the Pirate King and gain ultimate freedom while also surpassing the man who inspired him to piracy. In order to achieve his dream, Luffy set out to sea in search of others willing to join his crew to go with him on crazy adventures exploring the world with the ultimate goal of finding the titular "[[TitleDrop One Piece]]". The legendary treasure left behind by the previous Pirate King, Gold Roger, who is said to have hidden his treasure somewhere at the end of the Grand Line, the most treacherous ocean in the world.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Luffy wants to become the king of pirates, so he travels the East Blue and the Grand Line to assemble a ten-member crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, with which to find the mythic One Piece. During the Dressrosa arc, Luffy manages to get 7 pirate captains to pledge loyalty to him (resulting in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet) to undertake the perilous Operation SOP.

** Queen Daphne [[spoiler:remembers the original timeline, a BadFuture in which everyone she loves dies and the Burning Legion destroys the Magix Dimension]]. As a result of this experience as well as her duties as Nymph of Magix, she seeks allies to help prevent things from worsening. Her first SecretKeeper is her reliable husband Thoren, her EmotionalCrutch. She picks Flora because, out of all the Winx, she's the most level-headed to resign herself that [[spoiler:they can't thwart Bloom and Stella's deaths]]. When she meets Galadwen, their greater good-geared mentalities cause them to recruit each other in their respective plans. Finally, when her daughter Morrigan is revealed to be the newest incarnation of the Nymph of Time, Queen Daphne tells her the truth and even consults with her about which events in the timeline are immutable.

* ''Series/KevinProbablySavesTheWorld'': Kevin has been tasked by Yvette, an angel, with anointing 35 souls (36, counting Kevin) that dwell on Earth if they are TheIncorruptible and righteous. He does this by completing sacred missions to increase the spiritual energy needed to locate TheRighteousSouls and get a vision related to them.

Usually how TheMagnificentSevenSamurai get started off. If it's very easy then it's YouAllMeetInAnInn (the adventure begins with the heroes meeting in an inn). If the hero has already worked with the ones they're recruiting, it's PuttingTheBandBackTogether (after a seemingly permanent split, a group of characters assembles once more).

* ''Series/TripForBiscuits'': DoubleSubverted in the first episode. Bajo calls the Spacial and Extraterrestrial Phenomena Investigations (SEPI) to hunt his missing parents, who were abducted in a Mexican fast food truck. He's officially rebuked but, unofficially, hired so he can use the company's resources to find his parents during off-work hours. The only condition is that he can't use company personnel for that. He still manages to enlist Violet and Amy for his mission by virtue of them sympathizing with him.
