* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' is sort of an UnbuiltTrope when it comes to this, in that the ultimate goal of the main antagonist Raoh is to be the best martial artist ever, and become powerful enough to conquer even the heavens. This leads to him becoming an evil, power-hungry tyrant. TheHero Kensihiro himself simply [[WalkingTheEarth wander the Earth]] as the current inheritor of the Fist Of the North Star and protects the weak and defenseless. He has no desires other than passing on the technique as is his duty as the Inheritor. It's hinted at that Raoh's orphaned son will eventually become the next inheritor towards the end of the series.

* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': Unlike the other protagonists, all of whom have more nuanced and multi-faceted motivations, Kay'la literally just wants to become "the world's first naked knight", and literally everything she does is to achieve this goal.

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders.


* Even though technically a {{Manhua}}, ''Manhua/CyberWeaponZ'' is pretty much the quintessence of this, with the goal of the Southern Shaolin temple being to spark the new stage of humanity's evolution.

The setup is deceptively simple: InAWorld where [[SeriousBusiness everything else revolves around]] ''one'' thing -- CardGames, {{pirate}}s, {{ninja}}s, anything -- a [[StockShonenHero young lad ]] or lass in some cases) in his/her teens (or younger), usually an IdealHero, will set out on a quest to, well, To Be a Master of ''whatever'' their world deems important, be it Monsters, CardGames, guardians, [[Manga/YumeiroPatissiere sweets]], or even ''fashion''...

*** Among the exceptions -- Sanji and Robin are each seeking a specific {{MacGuffin}} (though finding them would almost undoubtedly shoot them to the top of their respective fields), Usopp wants to be "just" a Brave Warrior of the Sea, and Brook wants to reunite with [[spoiler:a character introduced fairly early in the story]].

* Millie in ''Anime/LostUniverse'' wants to be the best in the universe -- at ''everything''. She is allegedly already the best shot and best cook ([[LethalChef Despite the fact that she somehow manages to destroy the kitchen every time she cooks]]). She has no particular reason for wanting to be the best other than to boost her already excessive ego. Fortunately, the anime is about Kain and Canal, not Millie.

** Luffy eventually confesses to his crew that becoming Pirate King is not so much his goal but rather a means to an end. When he tells his crew what his real goal is ([[TheUnreveal which we conveniently do not get to see]]), their reactions range from [[RefugeInAudacity amusement]] to amazement to [[MyGodYouAreSerious utter shock]]. When he told Ace, Sabo and Shanks, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny they found it hysterical]].
