* The novel ''Summer Knight'' in Literature/TheDresdenFiles, [[spoiler: The concept of supernatural power and identity called a Mantle exists in the Dresden Files universe, and takes the form of a package of power that can be passed from person to person, and that starts to shape the identity, will, and personality of the wielder. In the case of the Sidhe mantles there are at least eight, and take the forms of Mother, Queen, Lady, and Knight for the Summer and Winter courts each. The Mother, Queen, and Lady mantles are so powerful that they will overwrite the original person entirely given enough time.]]

TakeUpMySword is different in that it implies that the original had time to say something along the lines of ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin to his successor, whereas with TakingUpTheMantle, the character has to take the initiative or be shown that it's what they have to do, but ultimately, they have to make the decision themselves.

* In the lore of ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' there is a theological concept where beings can "Mantle" the the essence of or certain aspects of gods. In this world, due to the fact that the gods have a very real and physical impact on the world, it is rather more literal than in most cases. The most notable instances of this are when Tiber Septim, or Talos, took up the Mantle of the dead god Lorkhan, specifically his aspect as the god of man. The other case, arguably, is when his descendent merged with Akatosh to defeat an invasion by Mehrunes Dagon.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' has Terry [=McGinnis=] become the new Batman after Bruce Wayne retires (although Bruce is retired for several decades before Terry happens upon the Batcave). The twist is that Bruce may be out of the field (being an old man with a cane and all), but he becomes Terry's VoiceWithAnInternetConnection.
** In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', Terry manages to do the one thing Bruce couldn't: force the Joker to lose his composure and get angry. How? By making fun of the Joker, something Bruce would never do. Of course, [[spoiler:this isn't the original Joker, it's a copy created by the original Joker, who implanted a chip into Tim Drake's body before his death that made him look and sound like the Joker, with the chip overtaking Tim's personality. Terry manages to fry the chip, restoring Tim's appearance and personality]].

** [[Characters/{{Batman}} Tim Drake]], when he was set to become [[LegacyCharacter Robin]], actually had the nerve to don Jason Todd's Robin costume and to go out with Alfred to rescue Batman and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}. ''And'' he managed to pull it off.
** Briefly attempted by ''Bane'', of all people, when Batman disappears during ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil''. Gotham is in chaos, with Arkham's inmates released, and Bane knows this is the perfect time to conquer the city. He runs into a bit of trouble with the Arkham crew though, and realizes that to succeed he needs to become something that truly terrifies them- so he makes his own Bat-costume and declares himself the new Batman. Note that he has no real intention of being a hero or living up to Batman's ideals; he just needs the fear. Needless to say, his stint ends [[ShaggyDogStory in the space of a couple pages]] once ''Forever Evil'' is resolved and the real Batman can return to Gotham.

"main protagonist" is redundant. It also sounds like confusion with The Hero because someone does not "act" as the protagonist. Protagonsit is a passive role. Same with antagonist. That doesn't mean "villain" . This is especially bad with someone potholing "protaonist" to "the hero dies".


So you're two thirds of the way through a book/movie/whatever, when suddenly, the main protagonist dies, is imprisoned, performs a FaceHeelTurn, or is otherwise unable to act as the main protagonist. [[DarkestHour All seems lost]], a TakeUpMySword hasn't been pulled! What is to be done?

But wait! A {{Sidekick}}, the LoveInterest, TheRival, a MauveShirt (in theory, even an antagonist could pull this off) steps or is forced into the role of the main protagonist, and the work that you are reading focuses on them for the rest of the time it takes to finish the work. The original protagonist may return near the end. Essentially, it's when someone invokes LegacyCharacter.

TakeUpMySword is different in that it implies that the protagonist had time to actually say something along the lines of ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin to his successor, whereas with TakingUpTheMantle, the character has to take the initiative or be shown that it's what they have to do, but ultimately, they have to make the decision themselves.
