Basic Trope: A Hero that keeps coming back.
- Straight: Bob is a hero that keeps showing whenever the world needs help.
- Exaggerated: Bob is stuck in a time loop and reincarnates whenever Alice or anyone else gets their cat stuck in a tree.
- Downplayed: Bob shows up once in a while but no one cares.
- Justified:
- Bob reincarnates as part of a prophecy.
- Sometimes the spirit of the world (going by the name Bob) takes matter in its own hands and takes a physical form.
- Inverted: No Hero comes back, and the story focuses on all new heroes.
- Subverted: A hero shows up using Bob's name but is actually someone else.
- Double Subverted: The fake Hero is actually a reincarnation of bob
- Parodied: Bob reincarnates but never when anyone needs him and his legend is a giant joke.
- Zig Zagged: But he actually is needed this time.
- Averted: Heroes never reincarnate.
- Enforced: The author is a fan of this trope and wants to shove it in.
- Lampshaded: "Why doesn't a past hero ever miraculously reincarnate when we need him?"
- Invoked: A benevolent god blesses a Hero to keep comeing back to help his people.
- Exploited:
- Defied: The hero chose to stop his reincarnation.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
