* In ''Literature/AccelWorld'', Scarlet Rain does this to her mentor and parent, Cherry Rook. He brings her onto Brain Burst, and she eventually becomes one of the Six Kings of Pure Color, replacing Red Rider. Unfortunately, Cherry starts feeling highly inadequate as a result, which, combined with the fact that he'll be adopted and move out of the orphanage soon, results in him being tricked into taking the Armor of Catastrophe.
* ''Manga/ArmedGirlsMachiavellism'': When Tsukuyo Inaba starts training Fudo Nomura, she comments that since he's bigger and stronger than her, he should surpass her once he masters her fighting techniques.
* In ''Anime/DevilMayCryTheAnimatedSeries'', Baul was a demon swordsman who was trained by Dante's father Sparda. Since Sparda is dead, Baul attacks Dante, both out of resentment for Sparda abandoning him, and because he believes defeating Dante will prove he had surpassed Sparda. He fails and Dante slays him.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall''
** PlayedWith at the beginning of the series. Goku's mentor, Master Roshi, disguises himself to participate without getting known at a tournament. The viewer expects this trope to appear, as Goku manages to evade all of Roshi's tactics to defeat him. However, Goku loses to him after he's goaded into a final jump-kick, receiving the brunt of the injury. There's also the fact that because Goku didn't know he was fighting Roshi, he never knew how strong his master actually is. There are some hints that Roshi is much more skilled than he lets on in the series, though it becomes clear that Goku has surpassed him by the 22nd World Tournament. This is PlayedForDrama in the King Piccolo Saga. After losing to Piccolo, Goku goes to Korin and asks him to train him again. Korin can only tell Goku that the latter has already surpassed him and he can teach Goku nothing. By the end of the original ''Dragon Ball'', Goku has surpassed all his teachers, including Kami. At the beginning of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', he needs to become stronger than King Kai just to have a remote chance against the Saiyans since they're stronger than him.
** PlayedWith in regard to Gohan as well. By the Cell Games, Gohan surpassed both Piccolo and his father, becoming the strongest characters in the series up to that point. After the seven year time skip, Goku surpasses Gohan since he slacked off and actually got weaker. After getting empowered by Old Kai, Gohan becomes the strongest hero in the series again. He slacks off, again, and Goku greatly surpasses him by a laughable degree by ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF.''
* ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': Tung Fu Rue reunites with [[{{Eagleland}} Terry]] and Andy on the ten year anniversary of their father's death, during which, he tells them their skills have already surpassed Jeff's. However, only one could become his successor. Adding that the one he chooses would have to surpass his own ability. [[AskAStupidQuestion Guess which one pulls it off?]]
* In ''Literature/{{Gate}}'', Lelei reads textbooks on chemistry and physics and applies what she learned to her spellwork, which drastically improves it. Her magical teacher Cato is proud and admits she has exceeded his abilities.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''
** Naruto perfected [[SuperMode Sage Mode]], which Jiraiya wasn't able to do. In a way he surpassed Kakashi, because Kakashi, like the Fourth Hokage, wasn't able to add element manipulation to the Rasengan (which is why Kakashi made Chidori and later Raikiri).[[note]]It's generally assumed the Fourth Hokage would have managed to accomplish that goal had he not [[PosthumousCharacter died before the start of the manga]].[[/note]]
** Kabuto, after assimilating Orochimaru's remains into himself for a power boost and [[AllYourPowersCombined further successfully combining the DNA of Orochimaru's strongest subordinates to give himself their powers]], eventually surpassed his master as well, perfecting the ''Impure World Resurrection'' jutsu and mastering [[SuperMode Sage Mode]], a feat even Orochimaru was unable to do.

* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': In the manga, Sanosuke Sagara upgrades Anji's finishing move, Futae no Kiwami or Mastery of Two Layers, which Anji had taught him, into Sanjou no Kiwami or Mastery of ''Three'' Layers and defeats him with it.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' Witches series, it is hinted in ''Literature/LordsAndLadies'' that the one thing Granny Weatherwax fears is the emergence of a witch who is more powerful than she is, who will compete for supremacy - and win. In the Tiffany Aching trilogy, such a novice witch ''does'' arise. Granny realises this, and neatly aces the dilemma by taking on Tiffany's teaching herself. This makes the prospect of a fight between them absolutely unthinkable, and Granny realises that while Tiffany will inevitably eclipse her, this is so far in the future as to resolve the problem: Granny will be dead or "retired" by then and the succession of Alpha Witch is assured without bloodshed or catastrophic destruction. In the meantime, Granny is free to express occasional seemly pride.
** Granny Weatherwax herself claims that she got the local witch to take her as an apprentice by sheer determination and following her around until the old witch taught her everything she knew... which took about a week.

"blue [dye] is derived from the indigo plant, but is bluer [more vibrant/dark/pure] than the indigo plant"). The context behind the quote was that the essay stressed the importance of learning and the attitude one should hold while studying/learning, hence the association with education and surpassing one's teacher.[[/note]]

He leads his own clan of Centaurs, served in war under Agamemnon, receives respect from royalty (despite Centaurs typically facing FantasticRacism), and demonstrates a variety of skills and techniques in his lessons. Of course, one of his newest cadets is Hercules, who goes on to become Greece's greatest hero. This is even acknowledged in the series' timeframe, as Cheiron admits in "Battle Lines, Pt 2" that Hercules gave him a much needed reminder of a lesson in reason. An episode of ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' noted that Cheiron expressed nothing but praise for his old student, while Hercules remembered him fondly as a ParentalSubstitute that was there for him when he was still finding his way.
