Born in the Wrong Century	comment	There's a certain type of character who yearns for Ye Goode Olde Days, when things were more exciting, or simpler, or better in some other way. Or maybe they feel they'd fit in better in a time other than their own. Or maybe they're just history buffs and would like to have been around when all that history was happening. Maybe it's the romance they miss. Or maybe the character is an inventor ahead of their time who just can't convince anyone that their crazy ideas could make a benefit for mankind, or a sci-fi buff who only wishes that all those stories about spaceships and flying cars were real, or a subculture waiting for the time when the world will be ready for them. Or, conversely, they might be a master of an Obsolete Occupation that would have been really impressive back when it was cutting edge a few hundred years ago. No matter what the reason, though, this character feels that they were born in the wrong century. Characters of this sort often find themselves involved in Time Travel adventures — maybe they jump at the chance to test out some new time travel technology; maybe they're selected because their knowledge of the era will be useful to their fellow time travelers; maybe they just want to travel through time so badly that the fabric of spacetime folds itself for them for no adequately explained reason. Sometimes, these characters learn that the time they wanted to live in isn't so great after all, but just as often they don't. If so, they may choose to stay. Note that this trope usually involves characters who live in modern industrialized democracies where they have a great deal of freedom and luxuries, which can make their nostalgia hard to take seriously. Characters from a crapsack country ravaged by plague, famine, or an evil dictator, are probably justified in feeling this way, but are rarely depicted unless they live in a future dystopia. Alternatively, like in the page quote, these characters are people who would like to return to a time when physical violence was a good pathway to fame and fortune. Meanwhile, outside of science fiction and fantasy, characters like this are just stuck in the present day. Sucks to be them. Such people do exist in Real Life, by the way; the time travel part, on the other hand, is probably not Truth in Television. Compare with Fan of the Past and Disco Dan. See also Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be for cases governed by Nostalgia Filter or The Theme Park Version of Ye Goode Olde Days, and Original Position Fallacy if the character specifically imagines they'd be in power "where they belong": heroic examples of this trope usually accept that the era had flaws but love it anyway.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_10254bd5	comment	Peter Mannion in The Thick of It is essentially an old-school Tory whose career has lasted long enough to see him almost, but not quite, completely left behind by the media savvy, image-conscious, management-speak-bullshit infused nonsense his party has evolved into. He's clung on just enough to not quite be entirely irrelevant, but he also makes no secret about the fact that he hates almost everything and everyone about the party he's a member of.

Only thing is, Paige is an anthropomorphic pig. Paige's sister (who definitely is in the right time period) openly questions why her sister talks like that, since they're from Fresno.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_19ac548b	comment	Viz has several characters like this. Victorian Dad seemingly believes he is in the Victorian period and his strict ways cause a lot of embarrassment to his children. Major Misunderstanding is a conservative war veteran who wishes for the good old days — but is evidently senile, frequently mistaking something for something else which he then criticises for being too politically correct. Jack Black And His Dog Silver is similar to 1960s adventure comics, but the time period changes depending on the appearance — the only real constant are the 3 lead characters and their conservative nature.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach character Yoruichi is hedonistic, egalitarian, and emotionally expressive, although she was born in a highly regimented society akin to feudal Japan. She tries to live up to her aristocrat family's expectations (and succeeds for a while, because of her courage and martial skills) but didn't think twice about leaving when Aizen's machinations forced her into exile. This is the main reason why Ichigo was surprised by The Reveal of Yoruichi's origins.

On the one hand, she doesn't miss her old life of being married to (and exploited by) her abusive alcoholic husband at the age of eleven, or the persecution she used to suffer because of her plant-controlling abilities. On the other hand, she finds many aspects of the modern world baffling (it doesn't help that her guide to the modern world is Molly Hayes, whose own understanding of the world is rather spotty.)

Lampshaded by Gwen Grayson, who in 2005 has the same powers but became a star student in the Hero track instead.

Mechanical vehicles are so high-maintenance by After the End standards that only the military uses them, while civilians stick to horse-drawn carriages. Spending her formative years as one of the few technical civilians in a military base enabled Tuuri to learn how to drive mechanical vehicles, but the skill is implied to be unusual among civilians overall. She craves exploration in a time during which the activity is considered a Suicide Mission due to the areas outside of safe settlements having turned into a Death World. This in particular seems to be part of a general disconnect on Tuuri's part from the combined facts that she is not The Immune and that the world outside of safe settlements is full of Plague Zombie monsters.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_366a284d	comment	Raoh and Toki from Fist of the North Star were both powerful practitioners of Hokuto Shinken, and would probably have become famous heroes of the style had they not had the misfortune of being born in the same generation, and also sharing said generation with Kenshiro. Kenshiro went on to become the successor and the two brothers were forced into different roles, which ended with Raoh and Toki dead alongside many other who fell afoul of Raoh's ambitions. The spin-off Gag Series DD Fist of the North Star plays with the idea of Kenshiro being the destined "hero of the end of the century" by reimagining him in a world where the apocalypse didn't happen. Turns out the same skills that made Kenshiro the savior of humanity After the End have very little application in the modern world. This also applies to the other martial artist characters, like the aforementioned Raoh and Toki, but isn't emphasized nearly as much as it is with Kenshiro himself.

Their empathy for others, concern for the plight of nature, and distaste for their prudish elders clearly mark them as children of The '60s, but unfortunately they're growing up in an ultraconservative Detroit suburb in The '70s amidst economic chaos.

Otto is perfectly happy with living a million years into the future, as he had no real chance of a good life of his own in the 21st century. But even though he has a well rounded knowledge on history, he shows a very passionate interest in Colonial/Revolutionary War era America, with some of his heroes being George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

To hear Hobbes tell it, Calvin himself should have been born in the 70s (although "Me Decade" name aside, it sounds like he's describing the 80s):

Born in the Wrong Century / int_413aa2f7	comment	Don Quixote wants to live in The Theme Park Version of the past, in the world of Medieval romances, filled with knights errant, loyal squires, good and bad wizards, fierce giants, fabulous monsters, imaginary kingdoms, epic battles, lovesick princesses, funny dwarfs, squires made counts and a lot of outrageous adventures. At one point, Don Quixote, an impoverished Hidalgo like his author Cervantes, deplores the time of the gunpowder and the artillery, two technological advances that means the end of the cavalry and the initiation of new strategies and organizational forms in the armies, as well as a redefinition of the role of nobility in a society where individual courage and skill are useless, and the organization of nameless masses of soldiers (infantry) becomes important. Cervantes is saying that for him, and for all the nobility (rich or poor), they were born in the wrong century, and they must renovate or die. And then, four centuries later (the first part was published in 1605), we see the nobility reduced to a mere showcase of frivolous magazines.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Nicodemus invokes this idea of John Marcone, the top crime boss of Chicago. Marcone took over and enforced the "organized" part of organized crime. He brought the drug trade under his tight reign and has a few rules people won't cross, namely involving children in drugs, prostitution, or hurting them as retribution. Nicodemus comments a few centuries ago, a man like John Marcone could carve out a kingdom and rule it with the kind of stable, effective-if-ruthless government that people really would appreciate. But it's been a long time since that age of warrior kings. Marcone seems to be aware of it himself, if his choice of magical employees is any indication. Harry appears to take it to heart in Skin Game, where Marcone honors an ancient Norse-Germanic tradition of weregild and pays the crime boss for the henchman who died during the robbery to smooth things over. Marcone, after some deliberation, decides he likes the idea (and the fact that the offered payment was a shoebox full of precious gems) and accepts.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_468bebb0	comment	In the Discworld novels: In The Fifth Elephant, newly appointed Low Kingnote king of the dwarves Rhys Rhysson describes his primary political opponent as this, claiming said opponent would have made a fine king two hundred years ago, but now he would be a disaster because the times have changed and the other dwarf hasn't. Mind you, as a dwarf, said opponent was probably alive two hundred years ago, but probably not eligible for kingship at the time. In The Truth, William de Worde notes that although Sacharissa is not especially attractive by modern standards, each of her features were considered the height of beauty in one time period or another, so from a sort of pan-historical perspective, she's one of the most beautiful women in the world. In Maskerade, Agnes Nitt is said to have been born too late. In the context of the story, looks and a lack of good sense matter more in Opera than actual talent at the present time. 20 years ago, actual singing mattered more, and all the greats shared her girth (if names like 'Expando' and 'Gigli'note there really was a Beniamino Gigli — a great singer, and a chubby little rascal are anything to go on). Ginger actually discusses this trope in Moving Pictures, observing that some people might have had the potential to be great artists or inventors, but because they were born in a time or place lacking the means to actually do something with it, they had to settle for being bad blacksmiths or farmers instead. She's very happy that she happened to live during the era of moving pictures, where she could be a great star.

His heightened senses and observation skills are constantly being stimulated by the modern era's endless flow of information. He turned to drugs to try and cope with being so overwhelmed. He muses that if he'd lived in a quieter time period, such as the Victorian era, with fewer demands on his attention then he might not have needed to use drugs.note In a cruel twist of irony, several of the earliest stories had the literary Holmes using cocaine to keep his mind stimulated between cases when nothing else could keep him occupied. Effectively, he had the exact opposite of the problem that Elementary's Holmes was struggling with.

He begins to dream about an idyllic small town named Willoughby in 1888 where he can live his life full measure at a slower pace. When Gart tells his wife Janie about Willoughby, she retorts that he was born too late and that it was her mistake to marry a man whose ambition in life is to be Huckleberry Finn. Subverted in "Once Upon a Time". Rollo, a scientist from 1962, goes back to 1890 with Mulligan expecting simpler times, only to realize that they also didn't have the simple pleasures of his time such as spring mattresses, TV dinners and bikinis. Mulligan sends him back to 1962 as he has begun to annoy him. Subverted again in "No Time Like the Past". After thrice failing to fix history, Paul Driscoll decides to go back to 1881 where none of the modern world's problems exist. After inadvertently causing a fire he intended to stop, he accepts that history has always had disasters none of which he can stop, so he decides to return to his own time and to work to make a better future.

In his initial try at being a criminal he was caught and placed in a cell for all to see as a social anomaly.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_6bbde1c8	comment	Reinhardt Wilhelm from Overwatch considers himself a Knight in Shining Armor, and for the most part he's right. It just happens to be Powered Armor, and he lives in an age of sapient robots. In one of the comics, he goes up against a biker gang called the Dragons, and imagines them as Lizard Folk on horseback, with their leader as a giant dragon. Cassidy similarly acts the part of a Cowboy right out of The Wild West, wearing Western-themed attire and choosing to use a revolver in an age of energy weapons and machine guns (though his revolver does have some advantages thanks to some upgrades). Ashe also follows a western theme, using an upgraded lever-action rifle, double-barrel shotgun, and a bundle of dynamite.

While she does get her wish and meets a dashing hero in typical romance novel fashion and meets her hero Sherlock Holmes when she gets there, living in Victorian London seems to be frequently costing her large chunks of her sanity. Hatsune is constantly exposed to dismembered corpses, attacked, tortured and almost violated by criminals and forced to confront traumas from her life back in the present day. And it turns out her dashing hero is just as lonely and insecure as she is. Yet she still prefers it to her own time.

His adoptive father Musashi and Musashi's female counterpart both describe him this way since he was born just a few years after an age of conflict. In a bad ending, Iori pulls a Faceâ€“Heel Turn and tries to use the Waxing Moon's wish to plunge Japan into a Forever War so that he can experience what his father experienced, only to face off with Saber in one last battle and ultimately falling by their sword after a close fight. Notably, Iori could have used his remaining Command Spells to weaken Saber and make his victory certain, but that wouldn't have sat well with him considering how much he embraces Saber's fighting skill.

There is just one problem: she's born on a Colony Ship half-way to Settling the Frontier on an entirely new planet, fleeing a dying Earth where wealth inequality got so bad there was little-to-no middle ground between the lucky few Fiction 500 and those definitely too poor to afford her ideal lifestyle. Even after the ship lands, the adults are perstering Marz to watch how many resources she's using due to a mix of ideals and pragmatism. She reaches the point of "no more new clothes until you recycle somehting" quite fast. She has grown bored of the existing media archive and creating new entertainment isn't a priority. The closest thing the colony has to money is Good Behavior Points that can be exchanged against a limited selection of luxuries at the Only Shop in Town, which is the only place that allows for proper transactions.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_8022008b	comment	Yuri, of Red River (1995), is a more understated instance of this trope. While she enjoys life in her own time and country, she is spirited away to and grows to love Anatolia so much that she gives up her last chance to go home, in favor of staying. She does use more modern discoveries while there, among them ideas like keeping the injured and sick in sanitary conditions, but she also connects insanely to the land, the people, and the culture. Note that despite time travel being possible in this world, Kail himself is an example of the second form of this trope. While he's not able to travel to present times, a lot of his viewpoints (citizens being treated equally, being monogamous in marriage, etc.) are ones that would be perfectly normal in modern times but pretty unusual in his time.

By the end of the series, Zi-O rewrites time to make both of them into actual residents of his era when he successfully erases the Bad Future. The show also plays the concept for laughs with Hiryu Kakogawa, Zi-O's Evil Counterpart, who returns in the post-series stageshow and decides that his repeated defeats are the result of the Heisei calendar, meaning he just needs to get rid of both Heisei and Reiwa so that the franchise can go back to Showa.

He accepts Kenjaku's offer to be reincarnated in the present because he missed the Heian Era, the Golden Age of Jujutsu where absolute monsters like Ryomen Sukuna, Yorozu, Uraume, Michizane Sugawara and many other bigshot sorcerers who went to form the major clans of Gojo, Kamo and Zen'in were at their peak. Many of whom are now running around in one way or another due to the Culling Game.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_a753b87d	comment	One of the defining elements of Maestro Villard in By the Sword. Villard is the owner and master of a fencing school which was founded by his father, a famous fencing champion who nonetheless died in a duel with a student he found out was having an affair with his wife. Villard thus sees his father as something of a highly touted failure, since the father spent decades training his skills only to be killed the first time, he was in a duel that actually mattered, and the younger Villard is desperate to know if his own skills and ruthless Combat Pragmatist philosophy are any better or if he's just been wasting his life trying to master swordsmanship. As a result, he eagerly yearns for the days when he might have fought another master at rapier's point. Eventually Villard learns that the truth about his father's duel is a little more complicated than he believed and has a chance to engage in a real sword fight, which seems to cure his longing to live in an earlier age.

Also, even if she could afford it, being black there was no way she would get to live that life during the time it was popular.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_b25cecc	comment	The Great Alicorn Hunt: The minor draconequus Malfunziona was most definitely this. Since he is a lesser being than a normal draconequus like Discord, his powers are more specific — he can only grow in power by breaking complex machinery, and the power he gains is directly proportional to the complexity of the device. Since he was active in a pre-industrialized Equestria, where the most complex machinery were farming tools and the like, he was only a nuisance at best. Eventually, he invaded the workshop of a Leonardo da Vinci-expy, Bold Lion, to get something of a power-up (as an inventor's home would be the only place where he could find any machinery of significance), only to be sealed away. Cue several centuries later, in the modern day, where he's released. It took him only an hour to become as powerful as Discord and the Princesses (aided by the fact that he was released at a technology expo), and had he gotten out into the city he would've been nigh-unstoppable.

Apparently being a magus means that you won't have any contact with technology, since she doesn't even know what a VCR is! Technophobia is trait common to most Association mages in the Nasuverse. The only mages shown to employ technology have been renegades of one kind or another, such as Shirou and Kiritsugu. Rin is noted for this in-universe. She's a magus from a respected family who not only inherited a great amount of power from her bloodline, but has the focus, discipline, and mental acuity to really take it places. If she was born a couple of centuries ago, she'd be making waves in the magic community and go down in history as one of the greatest. Today, she's a case study in just how isolated and irrelevant mages are when the rest of the world has moved on without them.

The show is set in the 2050s at the earliest. Hell, his catchphrase is "This is why I hate machines!" Most of the human villains share in this too, with different levels of Disco Dan — Headmaster is a late-00s internet/video game geek, Angry Archer indulges in mangled medieval talk, both Meltdown and Porter C. Powell look like they never got over the end of the 70s, and Slo-Mo is direct from a Screwball Comedy. If season 4 had been made, a villainous Steampunk commune would've been introduced.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_c34f83b2	comment	The Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair character Peko has exactly the skills and mindset of a traditional samurai (in part because she was raised to serve a yakuza organization), but was born in modern times. Her ruthlessness and lack of self kinda freaks out the other teenagers. Even her execution cutscene is animated in ink-lined, woodblock style.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_c43df4d8	comment	Captain Jack Harkness, from Doctor Who and Torchwood, was born in the 51st century, but has a deep fondness for the 1940s, to the point where he impersonates (and/or enlists as) an American volunteer in World War II at least three times. The first time was just part of an elaborate con to sell an alien ambulance he was claiming was a warship. It was sitting on the exact spot a bomb was going to hit, and he planned to take off with the money. There's also something of an inversion in Torchwood in that he sometimes seems to be living in the wrong century, considering 21st century social and relationship mores as being "quaint little categories". The current day attitude to relationships seems very different from in his time... A much darker example, as well as a slight subversion from the same 'Verse is Professor Yana, an elderly genius scientist who just happened to live at the End of the Universe, when all the stars had long since burned out. When the Doctor encounters him and realizes that he built elaborate circuits out of food, he remarks that Yana would've been revered all across the galaxies if he'd been born earlier. But those galaxies, as Yana puts it, "just had to go and collapse on us." Ironically, Yana turns out to be The Master, the Doctor's former-best-friend-slash-archenemy, who had gone as far as to turn himself into a human and erase all of his memories to escape the horrors of the Time War. When he finally regains his memories, he is able to steal the Doctor's time machine and fly to the present day — but as his insanity had returned hand in hand with his memories, he no longer intends to use his genius for the greater good...

Born in the Wrong Century / int_c511c682	comment	A constant implication about Cacofonix in Goscinny's run writing Asterix. Several scenes, interactions, aesthetic suggestions and lines suggest that Cacofonix may not be a truly Dreadful Musician at all, but The Rock Star, tragically living over 2000 years before anyone can appreciate his musical style or any musical instruments were made to exploit it. This is especially sad at the end of The Soothsayer, where he is told that voices like his would be popular in the future (by a phony, but soothsayers denounced as phony by the narrator earlier in the story make photographic predictions of the modern world), and later daydreams of himself on a modern stage performing to an adoring audience. This Alternative Character Interpretation is mostly put to rest by Uderzo's stories, which make it unambiguous that he is just awful, depending on how canon you find it.

She eventually fell in love with and married Jaime Fraser and stopped him from killing Jack Randall who is the ancestor of her 20th-century husband, Frank. By the time she got back to her time, she's pregnant with Jaime's daughter and the animosity grew between her and Frank with Claire secretly asking Brianna's boyfriend, Roger, to research on Jaime's whereabouts and Frank, knowing that Brianna is not his daughter since he's sterile. After Frank died in a car accident, Claire went back to the 18th century and decided to stay there and used her 20th-century medical ideas in helping others, particularly saving John Grey's nephew from a life-threatening bullet wound.

Also, while Shinobu is actually not that great at being a ninja, Souma really does carry a sword around and knows how to use it, sometimes expressing a desire to cut people down with it and referring to himself as though he really is a Samurai.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_fb2991d8	comment	From the very start, Justified has lampshaded how Raylan Givens would have been perfect for the U.S. Marshalls in the Old West but in the 21st century, his style has...issues. The opening scene of the show has Raylan giving a mobster in Miami 24 hours to get out of town or Raylan will shoot him. Naturally, the mobster thinks it's a bluff and is more amazed than afraid when Raylan shows up to do just that which earns a talking to from his boss. This pushes Raylan back to his hometown in Kentucky which mixes an old-school style of crime fighting with modern times. The fact Raylan walks around in a cowboy hat and has little problems firing a gun if need be just shows he's a man out of time.

Born in the Wrong Century / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "First Contact", a progressive scientist is greatly disappointed that her President believes their race isn't ready to meet alien life (humans) and turns away the Federation's offer of First Contact. She gets a consolation prize in getting to leave with the Enterprise.
