We have two sides of a conflict — The Empire is opposed by La Résistance or just common folks they oppress, The Legions of Hell fight with Church Militants, the Galactic Conqueror is in a war with The Federation, the Multiversal Conqueror fights against the Guardian of the Multiverse, the Scary Dogmatic Aliens are opposed by The Men in Black and Space Marines. And one side has a giant advantage; they win on every front and it's only a matter of time before they utterly annihilate their enemies. This is the Darkest Hour for the weaker side, but fear not, because Hope Springs Eternal. Then in come these nobodies. Hope Bringers are living proof that one person can make a difference and even the odds. By their actions, they restore hope in the hearts of their allies and lead them into the fight and victory. They can be the Big Good, the Magnificent Bastards, The Chessmasters, The Ace, the Rebel Leader or the People Of Mass Destruction — whatever makes them so special, it works. They can make the two sides not only fight on equal ground again but even reverse the situation and make the side they help repay the other one for everything they did. The Hope Bringers’ motives may vary. They can help the good guys because they believe in justice, love their fatherland, want revenge, tend to their flock, spread the Good News or just Because Destiny Says So. Often the Hope Bringer is the Chosen One. Note that this isn't always a good thing, since Hope Is Scary and sometimes leads to a Hope Spot. And occasionally the hope bringer is a Dark Messiah who’s willing to do anything to bring hope — regulations, brainwashing, manufactured reality, whatever. Compare The Hero, Magnetic Hero, Messianic Archetype, Supporting Leader, and All-Loving Hero. Can be created by Summon Everyman Hero. Contrast with The Dreaded (although, from the villains' perspective, the Hope Bringer may well be The Dreaded), who is defined by how others fear them. The opposite of this trope is Hope Crusher, who delights in despair and destroying any semblances of hope. |

Shin Megami Tensei IV's Main Character becomes this in the Neutral Route by helping as many people and demons as he can both in Tokyo and the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, to the point of recreating one-third of a divine entity's power by the sheer amount of hope he inspires. Then he proves why he can generate so much hope by taking back the other two-thirds from the Seraph Merkabah and the Demon Lord Lucifer. At the end of the Neutral Route, the people of Mikado believe so much in him that they are ready to evacuate their kingdom at his command. The Hope Crusher White are utterly furious at him, as they wanted to break his spirit so he would never again seek any form of renewal or continuity, and keep throwing divine monsters and even Alternate Timelines in his path — fat lot of good it did to them. Flynn still remains this trope in the sequel, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and several characters in Tokyo are shown to adore him just as much. This is exploited by the Divine Powers, who kidnap Flynn early in the game and keep him hostage, only to replace him with their pet dragon, Shesha, who subsequently eats their souls once Merkabah and Lucifer are eliminated. The inspiration Flynn evokes in the Hunters actually makes it easier for him to pull their souls out of their bodies. Cruelly deconstructed with Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne's Aradia. She's the False Goddess of Freedom and imparts hope unto her followers. Unfortunately, that's all she does. Her followers are blinded by the shallow and hollow hope she provides, causing them to stop doing things by themselves. |

The Gungan Council has Bethany Kismet and Eden Kisori both acting for the inspiration of their respective groups of Jedi. While Beth frequently gave reason for pacifist Jedi to believe they could change the galaxy, Eden rallied more aggressive Jedi and inspired them to launch a crusade against the Sith and Empire. | |

In Worm, Scion is this, as depicted in his Establishing Character Moment. An Endbringer is attacking Brockton Bay and killing hundreds. Every parahuman for miles has shown up to fight it. Even the villains have established a truce to fight this Omnicidal Maniac that threatens them all. And then Scion arrives, and the despair that lifts off everyone at this is palpable. This trope is horribly subverted in the plot's finale, though. | |

Claude from Star Ocean: The Second Story ends up as this, much to his (initial) chagrin. Arriving on Expel as a "man in strange and foreign attire, wielding a Sword of Light" has many people declare him the Hero of Light. He eventually leans into it, despite still not believing himself up to the task, and even his descendants make remarks about being related to the Hero of Light. | |

In The Other Side (memoriaeterna), after essentially the other half of the universe is killed by the Snap (Avengers: Infinity War), Peter Parker becomes Tony Stark's sole heir. With a controlling share of Stark Enterprises and the owner of basically everything the Avengers need to operate, Peter accepts the job with the goal of using his resources to undo the Snap even after Thanos destroyed the Stones. His determination to achieve this goal is particularly inspiring to Wanda and Doctor Strange, helping Wanda overcome the grief that triggered the Westview Hex and encouraging Doctor Strange to consider that this scenario may just be the 14, 000, 606th scenario he didn't see where they also won. | |

The titular character of Samurai Jack is this. Aku had ruled the world for thousands of years, making life miserable for everyone on it, and it only spread through the galaxy. When Jack arrived in the future he began helping others, freeing them from Aku's rule and giving them hope. This is shown best in Season 5 where after spending 50 years in the future, Jack is no closer to getting home, every time portal has been destroyed, he has lost his sword and he has seen his quest as a failure and has begun to feel that there is no hope anymore. Everyone Jack has helped still believe in him though, even when he doesn't believe in himself, because he has still helped them even in his current state. Come the finale, Aku has finally captured Jack and plans to broadcast his execution to kill everyone's hope, but instead everyone Jack has ever helped forms into an army to storm Aku's fortress and rescue Jack. | |

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has you what with being Immune to Fate. Fateweavers treat you like Jesus and people you help say they're happy to have met you. Considering how most quests would have ended had you not appeared, it's clear that Amalur was very, VERY, VERY close to becoming a Crapsack World. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul:Re, Eto explains to Kaneki that this is the true purpose of the One-Eyed King. Through a Thanatos Gambit, Arima would elevate whoever his successor would be to the status of a legend. This person would then be capable of leading the revolution that Eto and Arima had planned, becoming the hope of all ghouls. After defeating Arima and learning the truth, Kaneki accepts the role of the One-Eyed King. | |

Bleach has Ichigo become this after the Time Skip, though it only really becomes obvious during the Thousand Year Blood War arc: the moment the Shinigami learn, in the middle of an invasion that's quickly going south, that Ichigo is on his way to assist them and that his Bankai cannot be stolen by the enemy, the news are met with joy, excitement and the understandable expectation that the tide will turn in their favour once he arrives. Unfortunately, Quilge's Jail delays him until the invasion is practically over. | |

Kamen Rider Wizard explicitly revolves around hope, as despair makes certain people turn into monsters called Phantoms. Haruto's main job is to keep hope alive for people at risk. Haruto, in turn, has his own Hope Bringer: In the tie-in movie The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, Haruto manages to stop an Evil Doppelgänger of his friend Koyomi by telling her that she always gave him hope, and always will no matter what form she takes. |

ROH Glory by Honor XI was titled "The Unbreakable Hope" on the fact everyone was betting on Michael Elgin to beat Kevin Steen for the World Title after the combined forces of SCUM and The House Of Truth seemed incapable of holding Elgin back for long.

Rudy Roughnight from Wild ARMs to the point where (in a sidequest) he revives the Guardian of Hope. It's particularly notable in the remake where the sidequest involves returning to Surf Village where he was previously exiled. Rudy's unwavering willingness to protect the villagers, in his bleakest moment inspires them to help him fight the revived Rotting Beast via a Combined Energy Attack. After you defeat the monster for good you get the Hope Shard medium. | |

Olorin, a. k. a. Gandalf, is a LITERAL Hope Bringer. It's said in The Silmarillion that whenever he walks among Men or Elves, he inspires hope and courage. Unfortunately, his tendency to come to people when things are about to go wrong is often misunderstood, giving him the reputation as a "Herald of Woe." | |

As in other mediums, Batman is this in the Batman: Arkham Series. This is particularly shown in two entries. While he spends most of the game as a wanted fugitive who is feared by criminal and civilian alike, over the course of Batman: Arkham Origins as he saves more and more people, opinions begin to shift and he becomes this by the end. As for Batman: Arkham Knight, the Grand Finale, this is the very reason that Scarecrow does not want to kill him right away, believing that it will only turn him into a martyr. He needs to break him first to shatter the beacon of hope he is to the world. | |

Naruto: Naruto himself becomes this during The Fourth Shinobi World War. The allied shinobi forces aren't getting their asses handed to them, per se, but they're struggling and taking heavy casualties, to the Edo Tensei resurrected ninja. Along comes our protagonist, who has finished his Training from Hell, becoming even more capable, and has improved his relationship with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. He summarily uses his cloning technique to cover most of the battlefield, kick ass, save lives, and Spot the Imposter. Most, if not all, of his ninja comrades definitely see him as this now. Also counts as several big damn hero moments wrapped in one. This quality was possibly first hinted at during Pain's Assault. Hinata is this to Naruto during some of the darkest moments of his life in the main series. Particular moments include right before his fight against Neji in the Chunin Exams finals, during his fight against Pain, and then when he falls into despair after Neji's Heroic Sacrifice and Obito's subsequent attempt to Break Him By Talking. |

Superman and Supergirl are The DCU's biggest examples, bringing hope everywhere and showing there's a better way. In some continuities, the "S"-shield is the Kryptonian symbol for "hope". Reinforced by the fact that Supergirl's motto is "Hope, Compassion and Help for all", and in Convergence: Adventures of Superman, Superman tells she brings him hope. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist has a villainous example in Fuhrer Bradley. After the good guys have successfully launched a coup, knocked the enemy mooks into complete disarray and are chanting "Victory", Bradley simply says "Greetings. I'm back" over the radio. Cue Mass "Oh, Crap!" from the good guys, and a Heroic Second Wind from the enemy soldiers. | |

RWBY: In the fight against Salem, Professor Ozpin is seen by others as one who has the knowledge and experience to give people the hope that they can prevail against her. Ozpin knows only too well the power hope gives people and therefore hides the Awful Truth about Salem from even his closest allies because he has seen first-hand how loss of hope destroys people. When the heroes find out, he becomes a Broken Pedestal until they learn for themselves the power of hope and despair. Ozpin himself sees others as a beacon of hope rather than himself, especially Ruby Rose, who inspires even him. Salem's own plans require her to crush the hope both Ozpin and Ruby symbolise to others, as her path to victory requires committing a Despair Gambit against the entire world. | |

Fist of the North Star: Kenshiro is known as the "Savior of Century's End" for this very reason. Ken makes it his sworn duty to protect the innocent wherever he goes as he spends his time Walking the Earth. Meanwhile, anyone who would hurt the innocent or exploit their talents for evil will find themselves at the end of Ken's Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs before hearing "You Are Already Dead" as their head explodes. Also, Raoh and The Dragon Ryuuga for those under Raoh's dominion: he may be the Big Bad, but he protects his subjects from raiders and bandits. Best shown when he was believed dead, and his troops in two villages started brutalizing the civilians: in one, people were in despair until Ryuuga started killing the mutineers (note that Kenshiro was there, and people were still desperate); in another, Raoh shows up, and people start cheering, while the mutineers, after their boss got his head slapped off, kneel to receive their just punishment (death by stomping from a giant horse). |

This is really played up with the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition. As "Andraste's chosen", the Inquisitor is this for the people across all of Thedas. Blackwall explicitly describes them as such, even if the Inquisitor doesn't personally believe. This is really displayed after the fall of Haven where, in the middle of their Darkest Hour, the people s/he helped save look upon and kneel to him/her with religious reverence. | |

Dragon Ball: Goku inspires hope in those who know him. More than once, his friends and family break down into Tears of Joy when they know he's coming. Although he is a Fake Ultimate Hero, Mr. Satan inspires hope for the people on Earth. He's the only thing that kept them sane during the Cell Games and Buu's onslaught. Gohan zig-zags this. Goku wants him to become this, but he's weighed down by his own self-doubt. However, Gohan inspires his friends to make one last stand against Cell and he restores hope in Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks when he returns to fight Buu. |

In The Dresden Files: In Ghost Story Molly notes that Harry is this for the little guy in the supernatural world. He scares off so many power dark things from Chicago and as a Warden, taught the Paranetters how to band together to be able to take on stronger forces. His death is therefore somewhat more than just a murder mystery: him dying caused problems all throughout Chicago, as a result of the power vacuum of the Red Court vanishing, the heaviest hitter for the "good guys" dying, and people losing hope. Sanya, Knight of the Cross, wields the sword Esperacchius, the Sword of Hope, which contains in its hilt one of the nails that pierced Christ at his Crucifixion. His presence alone can give even the most cynical fighters a sense of hope and the idea the day may be saved. He also walks with the hope of redemption for his foes the Denarians because he too was one before walking away. Archangel Uriel is this when Harry was at a low point, seeing Mab over him proclaiming her victory and malevolent plans for Harry to become her own monster and there was nothing he could do. Uriel gives Harry hope that he can remain who he is and still be the Winter Knight. Mother Summer, the Progenitor of Life, assures Harry he can choose to resist the pull of the Winter Mantle and remain himself. Her words also seem to imply any mortal who is given the Mantle of the Sidhe has the same choice. Kringle, King of Winter, as Santa Claus is the manifestation of hope in the darkest parts of winter. |

A very literal example in SCP-1281 ("Harbinger"): The Harbinger is a biomechanical drone created and sent out by a dying race. Its purpose was to learn the language of whatever creatures it encountered and tell them a message of hope, a message saying that though one light is small compared to the infinite vastness of the universe, it is still a light. | |

The Discworld novel Hogfather, where the avatar of Death has to dress up as a Santa Claus Expy, discusses and somewhat deconstructs this trope. It explains that belief is an integral part of hope, but also that belief is stronger from an unfulfilled wish than a fulfilled one because the less one has the stronger their hope of getting something can get. | |

Jakob from Jakob the Liar ultimately serves as a deconstruction of the trope. Set during the 1940s during World War II, Jakob fills his fellow Jews with hope over news that the Russians will soon liberate them from the Ghetto, telling them he got the information from his "secret radio." In truth, while the initial news is true, it eventually snowballs into him having to fabricate news to keep up the charade. This torments Jacob because his newfound status puts him at risk of being arrested by German soldiers, but at the same time his lies actually give the Jews inspiration to live on and the suicide rate drops. | |

Green Lantern: Not surprisingly this is part of the job description of the Blue Lanterns who literally channel the power of hope. The relatively few people who can "inspire great hope" has limited their membership quite drastically. The fact that their planet and Power Battery got blown up in Lights Out doesn't really help. In Green Lantern: Rebirth, John Stewart states Hal Jordan always managed to rekindle his self-confidence, even in the direst and most hopeless of circumstances. Green Lantern: Earth One has Hal inspiring and bringing hope to his fellow Lanterns, which is ironic given how aloof he was at the beginning. |

Asgore Dreemurr from Undertale is certainly an example of when this trope takes its toll on the bringer. Being the King of all Monsters, his main mission statement is to keep his people happy and in high spirits, and despite monsterkind being trapped underground by a magic barrier by humans long ago, he does so. He even manages to raise a happy family with his wife Toriel, his son Asriel, and an adoptive human child who fell into the Underground. Unfortunately, tragedy struck as his children devised a plan to cross the barrier and possibly destroy it, which resulted in the death of them both at the hands of humans on the outside, terrified of their monstrous combined form. In a fit of pure anger, he declared war on humankind, stating that all humans who enter the Underground will have their souls taken, used by him to become godlike, and break the barrier, setting the monsters free. He becomes the unanimous beacon of hope for all monsters but regretted his decision as soon as his anger calmed and realized what his choice entails. He doesn't want to cause harm or wage war on anyone, but he feels that it's the only way to give his people hope, and it tears him up inside, especially since his wife left him due to his decision. | |

Flynn still remains this trope in the sequel, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and several characters in Tokyo are shown to adore him just as much. This is exploited by the Divine Powers, who kidnap Flynn early in the game and keep him hostage, only to replace him with their pet dragon, Shesha, who subsequently eats their souls once Merkabah and Lucifer are eliminated. The inspiration Flynn evokes in the Hunters actually makes it easier for him to pull their souls out of their bodies. | |

The Tenno become this for the debt-slave colony of Fortuna in Warframe, as the presence of even a single Tenno proved able to break the shackles of despair that had gripped Fortuna and its mayor-figure Eudico, prompting both her and Fortuna to fight back against their Corpus oppressors both in secret and more overtly. The knowledge that the single most lethal thing in the Origin System was supporting them proved enough to bring light to the hopeless, by means of doling out both revenge and justice upon the Corpus for their crimes. | |

The Solar Exalted excel at this, whether by Training the Peaceful Villagers, curing the plague in an hour, or kicking the living hell out of the bad guys. Infernals are a twisted version; while some (especially ones who favour Cecelyne) can bring food, favours, and defenses, there are some pretty awkward things in the fine print (which, to be fair, they're not actually required to use). Abyssals are an inversion; they're Despair Bringers. | |

Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon has the titular character, who through constant fighting to protect the Capital has become a potent symbol of hope. It's due to this that Shinado's Anger, a divine aspect of despair, continuously faces and taunts him to drop his title and duties, as they inspire too much hope for him to triumph. When that fails, Shinado's Anger starts dispatching assassins, which only further weaken him as they fall, strengthening Raidou and the people of the Capital's faith in him. | |

BlazBlue has its own in the form of Makoto Nanaya, whose presence in Kagutsuchi in Continuum Shift reinvigorates those who know her best to varying degrees. To drive the point home, her own Story in Extend is titled Slight Hope. Examples include improving Noel's mood in Desperation and instilling true courage in her in the month between Continuum Shift and Chronophantasma, causing Jin to stop thinking about his brother in proximity to her in Decision (though this wasn't the only force at work), and renewing Tsubaki's spirits in Slight Hope — the choice to interrogate Hazama after this last act caused Rachel to go out of her way to save her when Hazama's patience finally expired. On the subject of Hazama, his plans for Jin, Noel, and Tsubaki involved breaking their spirits so they would serve his interests, and he intentionally sought to keep the girls isolated to make it happen. Allowing Makoto to contact them in that time frame would greatly sabotage his plans. Needless to say, they don't get along. |

Strangely enough, in the Disney Ducks Comic Universe, this role is often given to Donald Duck. After all, everyone who knows him has seen what happens when Donald gets angry... And their enemies often get him mad. Best shown in the Reginella saga: whenever the planet Pacificus gets in a trouble they can't solve with their usual methods queen Reginella and her people start despairing right until Donald's arrival. This is the consequence of him single-handedly defeating an alien invasion in the third part. |

In 5th ed. Dungeons & Dragons, there's a place that is the Hope Bringer. In the adventure book Journeys Through The Radiant Citadel, the Radiant Citadel was a long-lost artifact Citadel City in the Ethereal Plane that was rediscovered by a benevolent ancient Brass dragon and the surviving heroes aiding her. Now reactivated, the city is a sanctuary for refugees, a holy site for its near-divine Dawn Incarnates and a wilderness preserve as the city's heroic Shieldbearers are sent to rescue those in danger and reclaim lost knowledge. Or a dimensional portal to the city sometimes manifests to those who need help. Either way the Radiant Citadel is a welcoming safe harbor for those arriving. | |

Raphael, from Baldur's Gate III, fancies himself as a hope bringer, offering succor to those in the most need, such as yourself and your companions when dealing with illithid tadpoles threatening to turn them into mind flayers. He ultimately subverts the trope, however, because he is a devil: for all of his honeyed words of helping others, his aid ultimately comes at a steep price, and most of your companions — especially Wyll and Karlach, who have had some less-than-stellar dealings with demons, themselves — will advise against taking him up on any offers he makes. | |

The Victors Project: Various victors (most notably Bovina) are this to their districts in the aftermath of winning, due to the year's supply of food this guarantees their district. Elena becomes this due to her Star-Crossed Lovers romance breaking the cycle of racial hatred in her district (to the point where the Capitol kills half of her family just out of spite for her using the Games to accomplish something positive). Honorius is a villainous version, giving the Career tributes an honorable (albeit sadistic and Darwinistic) view to fight for. | |

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has Makoto Naegi, who is pretty much the most optimistic member of the school and always tells people to never lose hope, even if Monokuma has been pushing them to just fall into despair already. He succeeded, making everyone stop playing Monokuma's game of murders, and his title changed from 'Super High-School Level Good Luck' into 'Super High-School Level Hope'. A contrast from the Big Bad, whose title is 'Super High-School Level Despair'. | |

Nintendo Wars: Darkly subverted in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin in one mission with a religious faith healer who has inspired a band of survivors to come under his leadership join his cult worshiping "the worm", as it will cure the Creeping Derengea. When you finish the mission, you learn that the worm is literally an earthworm: said leader believes all is lost, humanity is doomed, and that nothing can save them from a slow, painful death, and so he gathered up infected survivors and deluded them into thinking they could still be saved so what little life they had left would be hopeful. The harsh irony is that at this point, Will and his allies actually did have the means to treat the virus — had the leader of the cult heard them out instead of just ordering his followers to attack, they could have all been saved. | |

Revealed in one of the most heartwarming moments in the game, and perhaps the whole series, in God of War Ragnarök: after sharing a fond farewell to his son Atreus as he leaves Midgard to search for the lost Giants, Kratos discovers a shrine neither of them had found. That's because it was one made by his late wife, Faye, and made for him. It details his arrival in the Nine Realms from his homeland of Greece, several important events of the last two games such as reaching Jotunheim and the clash with Thor, and ends with a mural depicting the Ghost of Sparta as one of these, a figure of reverence and worship across the Realms. After many games' worth of being treated as nothing more than an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight, Kratos' emotional reaction, even visibly crying, and his stunned words to his companions shows how strongly it affected him, to realize that yes, he was capable of being worshipped and loved as a god. | |

Some see Commander Shepard as this in Mass Effect. Paragon Shepard is an indisputable example of this trope. It helps that s/he's such an extreme Magnetic Hero. This is particularly true with the krogan (through Wrex) and the geth (through Legion). After traveling with Shepard for a time, Wrex rediscovers his long-lost hope for the krogan people and decides to return to Tuchanka to make a second attempt to save his people from themselves (eventually becoming a Hope Bringer himself). Meanwhile, Shepard's interactions with Legion was the first time in 300 years that an organic ever interacted with the Geth with something other than hostility, bringing hope to the geth that peace could be made between them and organics, the quarians in particular. By the time the Reapers return in the third game and Shepard's actions are all vindicated, s/he becomes a symbol of hope to all of the races of the galaxy fighting off extinction. Admiral Hackett makes Shepard the primary face and leading vanguard of the war effort for precisely this reason. | |

Then along comes a metamorphosed Mothra, showing that Ghidorah doesn't have control of all the monsters and that Mothra is willing to oppose him, and moments later, the human cast realize from her arrival that Godzilla is still alive and there's still a chance to save the world. | |

He impersonated Garrick, a genuine hero, with the aim of inducing hope in others so he could have the pleasure of taking it away.

The Lord of the Rings: Olorin, a. k. a. Gandalf, is a LITERAL Hope Bringer. It's said in The Silmarillion that whenever he walks among Men or Elves, he inspires hope and courage. Unfortunately, his tendency to come to people when things are about to go wrong is often misunderstood, giving him the reputation as a "Herald of Woe." The Valar make Eärendil into one of these after he completes his epic voyage to Valinor. They turn his ship into a flying boat, and he is tasked to sail the skies forever carrying the Silmaril, appearing as a star of hope to all in need of it. Aragorn was even named Estel when he was adopted by the Elves: the Elvish word for "hope". This makes him a literal as well as actual hope-bringer. |

In all of Star Trek's many incarnations, one starship comes immediately to mind... Among the crew of the original Enterprise, James T. Kirk takes this function, as when he takes the Enterprise back in Star Trek: The Motion Picture While not explicitly stated, in the alternate timeline depicted in Star Trek (2009), the dimensionally displaced Spock Prime is clearly happy to meet this timeline’s version of James T. Kirk, observing that it is “remarkably pleasing� to see him again and expressing complete faith that this young, inexperienced version of his oldest friend will be able to prevail against Nero despite the insane Romulan’s use of future technology. |

This is a theme of the heroes of Kamen Rider in general. As stated in the Manga section: Kamen Rider Wizard explicitly revolves around hope, as despair makes certain people turn into monsters called Phantoms. Haruto's main job is to keep hope alive for people at risk. Haruto, in turn, has his own Hope Bringer: In the tie-in movie The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, Haruto manages to stop an Evil Doppelgänger of his friend Koyomi by telling her that she always gave him hope, and always will no matter what form she takes. In Kamen Rider Gaim, Mai tells Mitsuzane that she and their mutual friends trust Kouta and he gives them hope in the current crisis. Unfortunately, Mitsuzane has slipped into madness by then and decides that if Kouta, and hope along with him, are killed; then everyone will turn to him as their savior. |

Mario is frequently seen as this in his games. A lot of NPCs, especially in the Mario RPGs, will be worried and panicked until Mario shows up, at which time they express relief that he's there. Even if someone doesn't know who he is, they quickly learn. Sometimes, Princess Peach pulls this trope too, being beloved by all of her subjects. | |

Sanya, Knight of the Cross, wields the sword Esperacchius, the Sword of Hope, which contains in its hilt one of the nails that pierced Christ at his Crucifixion. His presence alone can give even the most cynical fighters a sense of hope and the idea the day may be saved. He also walks with the hope of redemption for his foes the Denarians because he too was one before walking away. | |

Superman: Superman and Supergirl are The DCU's biggest examples, bringing hope everywhere and showing there's a better way. In some continuities, the "S"-shield is the Kryptonian symbol for "hope". Reinforced by the fact that Supergirl's motto is "Hope, Compassion and Help for all", and in Convergence: Adventures of Superman, Superman tells she brings him hope. One of The Sandman (1989)'s Endless is Despair, the living antithesis of this trope. She convinced Rao, a red sun, to create life on an unstable planet. Both of them knew that the planet was doomed, and there would be just one single survivor, "to remember, to mourn, to despair...". The planet was Krypton, and that survivor would grow to become Superman. The amount of hope that this failed plan unleashed killed the first Despair. Superman destroyed the Anthropomorphic Personification of Despair just by existing. |

Danganronpa has quite a few of these, since its overall message is that humanity needs hope in order to continue moving forward. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has Makoto Naegi, who is pretty much the most optimistic member of the school and always tells people to never lose hope, even if Monokuma has been pushing them to just fall into despair already. He succeeded, making everyone stop playing Monokuma's game of murders, and his title changed from 'Super High-School Level Good Luck' into 'Super High-School Level Hope'. A contrast from the Big Bad, whose title is 'Super High-School Level Despair'. Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls has Makoto Naegi's younger sister Komaru also become a bringer of hope, though mostly through circumstance. Big Bad Monaca intended for Komaru to become the new Ultimate Despair, but thanks to The Power of Friendship with Toko Fukawa, Komaru was able to snap out of it and derail Monaca's plan. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair has an instance that plays with this. The Hope Bringer here is not the main character, but Sonia Nevermind, the Spoiled Sweet Princess Classic. While Hajime is dealing with his own troubles and overcoming the mystery of the Deadly Game, Sonia rallies the other students into believing in the power of hope and urges them to fight against despair. |

In the Kim Possible / Green Lantern fusion fic In Blackest Night, Kim Possible is recruited into the Green Lantern Corps (forcibly separated from Ron Stoppable in the process) and at one point goes up against her old enemy Gill, now a Red Lantern, and her ring is losing power rapidly, down to 3.1%. Suddenly her ring reports "Power levels at 20%...at 37.8%...at 54.7% and rising..." and a voice above her calls out, "Can I get a Booyah?" Kim looks up and sees Ron Stoppable, clad in a Blue Lantern uniform, and her ring is now at 250% power. | |

My Hero Academia: All-Might is very conscious about being this. He was born into a world where everyone was constantly on edge, living in fear, and no matter how many heroes there were, crime never seemed to go down. He decided that the world needed a "Symbol of Peace", someone who could always save the day with a smile. For over twenty years, he has been the unshakable foundation of the world's peace... which is why he strives to make sure that the public doesn't realize that he was horribly wounded five years ago. Special mention goes to the USJ attack. It's the biggest villain attack in years, directly in the heart of a hero school. The pros and the students do their best, but it's a difficult fight, and the students are slowly realizing that not all of them are going to survive this. Then All Might arrives, and everyone instantly relaxes — because All Might always saves everyone, and he never loses. Midoriya is the only one who realizes that they're still in danger because he's the only one who knows All Might is steadily weakening. All Might saves everyone anyway. After All Might's retirement, Endeavor takes up the role of Number One Hero, but he is unable to become the Symbol of Peace because of his Anti-Hero reputation, villains becoming bolder in the absence of All Might and growing resentment against heroes. Instead, the one who picks up the torch is Izuku Midoriya, who aims to become the "Symbol of Hope" and become this to heroes, civilians, and villains (at least those who are willing to seek redemption). |

This seems to be the role of the emerging superheroes in the world in the DC Extended Universe, which starts out as a rather dark, gloomy place, and (though supers, especially Superman himself, at least initially cause fear and mistrust in people... with some push from certain people such as Lex Luthor) eventually becomes much brighter and hopeful. Superman's death and exoneration in the public eye (once Lex's plot has been revealed) at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice seems to be a catalyst for this, as even those who initially criticized him came to realize just how important he was, and his sacrifice inspires and springs other heroes (Such as older, previously jaded heroes like Wonder Woman and The Batman, or other new heroes like The Flash) into action. It should be said, though, that the horrifying, parademon-infested, post-apocalyptic world ruled by an evil Superman Bruce sees in his Knightmare in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder's Justice League, somewhat justifies that initial fear, and shows it could have gone either way had Batman and Wonder Woman not allowed themselves to hope again. |

The Elder Scrolls The (translated) lyrics to the title song for Skyrim play up the Dragonborn as this. The bard song "The Dragonborn Comes" does as well. A sample of the title track: In the series' backstory, the Snow Prince was one for the Falmer (Snow Elves) in their seemingly Hopeless War against the invading Atmorans (Precursors of the modern Nords), who were attempting to to outright drive the Falmer to extinction. After nearly wiping them out on the mainland, the Atmorans pursued the remaining Falmer to the barren, frozen island of Solstheim. During the Falmer's Last Stand at the Battle of the Moesring, the Snow Prince single-handedly turned the tide of the battle, killing many prominent Atmoran heroes in the process. His very presence inspired the Falmer to turn the battle from a sure rout into a near-victory, but he fell during the battle. His death (which, incidentally, the Atmorans themselves decided was worthy of a traditional burial, rather than burning him as they normally would for their fallen enemies) was what convinced many Falmer to turn to the Dwemer for help against the Nords, and the state of the modern Falmer shows just how that turned out... |

One Piece: The series's infamous flashbacks make it clear that just about every person Luffy meets and every place he visits was steeped in hideous tragedy until he showed up. One Piece's signature cheery, cartoony, light-hearted tone is almost entirely down to him and the people he influences. Long before Luffy's time, there was Nika. Hailed as the Warrior of Liberation, it was said that he would bring smiles to the faces of people as he freed them from slavery. It turns out the Devil Fruit Luffy ate was actually a Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit modeled after Nika. |

Saint Sabbat in the eponymous "The Saint" arc of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels, especially the arc finale Sabbat Martyr where she appears in the flesh. Even her spiritual presence is noted for inspiring the Imperials to acts of conspicuous valor, but when she arrives in person on Herodor she acts as a hope bringer on a grand strategic scale. The Imperials' resolve combined with Chaos knowing about her tactical and religious significance leads to a victory where a few thousand troops literally prevent the doom of the entire Crusade. | |

Lelouch Lamperouge in Code Geass — before he entered the scene, the Japanese La Résistance was weak, divided, and didn't have a chance at defeating Britannia's army. Zero managed to not only create a force that the oppressing army in Japan had to reckon with but during the course of the series formed an alliance against Britannia with every single free country in the world. At the end of the series, Lelouch specifically invokes this trope — only with himself as the evil emperor and Zero (actually his ally Suzaku) as the Hope Bringer. | |

Each of the "protagonists" of Dangan Roleplay becomes this over time, enough that Monobear stopped listing "optimistic children with ahoge" as a dislike in his profile. Round 1's Jimmy was a contagious optimist to begin with, but Round 2's Beat and Round 3's Haruka had to grow into it; Haruka goes as far as promising to be Dave's hope during his Heroic BSoD, which extends to being hope for the rest of the surviving class, too. | |

Ghostbusters: In the original movie, the titular heroes arrive downtown at the climax at the apartment building where all the supernatural havoc are emanating from the cheers of hundreds watching. In the sequel, when they arrive to take down the slime barrier covering the museum that is the bad guy's base, their proton packs aren't enough to dent it as the barrier feeds on negative emotions, like the despair people are feeling in this Darkest Hour. They need a symbol to impact their fellow New Yorkers. They choose to use good slime to animate the Statue of Liberty. |

In Rebuild of Evangelion, Shinji Ikari, yes that Shinji Ikari of all people, becomes this. After nearly causing the Third Impact and devastating the planet, he crosses a more severe Despair Event Horizon than he did in End of Evangelion to the point that he stops eating. After being shown kindness by the others (and Tough Love by Asuka) in spite of his mistake, he manages to come out of his shell as The Anti-Nihilist determined to make things right. Even being held at gunpoint isn't enough to stop him from getting in the damn robot to save everyone, and in the final showdown with his Archnemesis Dad, Gendo even names him the embodiment of mankind's hope while accepting its despair himself. | |

Knight of Death and Rebirth subverts the trope with Wilmarina Noscrim as in her original entry within Monster Girl Encyclopedia: Fallen Maidens. Her role as The Chosen One was imposed by her father to gain political support when she just wanted to be with her childhood friend, prompting her to eventually fall and become a succubus upon her defeat against Druella. It was only thanks to Lelouch (as Zero) this time around that she was more motivated to take up the role. Lelouch as Zero instead takes up the role on Midgard, like he does in the war against Britannia back on Earth. His ability to resist demonic mana and conviction against the monsters' culture that is incompatible with those on Earth has prompted the Order to take advantage of his power. Even after Lescatie falls, the surviving uncorrupted beings are so inspired by him that they fight for him over the Chief God and any other Order Hero. Even people still on Midgard are inspired to rally under him, including a surviving human soldier from the Theocracy and a Succubus!Eristia, who is in love with Zero for his inspiration on her. |

Victoria is described this way in All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird. Being the compassionate All-Loving Hero of the group, she's big on giving people second chances; Blackwall describes her as "rare." As she herself points out to Cullen, Hope is literally her middle name. | |

Maria no Danzai: Maria seems to be this for victims of bullying; after Kowase kicks Yashima so hard that she vomits, then threatens her not to snitch on him when Maria shows up, she is somehow able to genuinely calm down after Maria comforts her. Later, as Kowase is trying to drown her in his own home, Yashima thinks of Maria while mentally begging for someone to come save her. Cue Maria doing just that (not that Yashima ever finds out). | |

In the grim darkness of Warhammer 40,000: The God-Emperor of Mankind is this to Humanity and the Imperium of Man, unifying the fragmented species against the horrors of the universe. Unusually for this trope, he's also a bloody-handed authoritarian despot and a really terrible father. The Space Marines are this to the Imperial Guard and common civilians when shit really hits the fan... unless they've been called in to perform Exterminatus. Or they're one of the more brutal Chapters. There exists a literal embodiment of the emotion of hope. He's better known as Tzeentch, the Chaos god of mutation, sorcery, and backstabbers. Explains a lot, really. This is how the Tau see themselves, and to be fair, they can be — as long as the people they're bringing hope to are willing to join the Tau Empire. Otherwise, they're Scary Dogmatic Aliens. Some of their underlings did sign up because the Tau offered them some kind of salvation or protection; others joined because the Tau offered them the choice between membership and death. (And for a lot of species an option that isn't death is better than, say, the Imperium offers. |

In the sequel, when they arrive to take down the slime barrier covering the museum that is the bad guy's base, their proton packs aren't enough to dent it as the barrier feeds on negative emotions, like the despair people are feeling in this Darkest Hour.

Undead Unluck: Fuuko Izumo becomes an inspiration for the whole of the Union as time goes by. Her partner Andy initially made her The Drag-Along to use her Unluck to find a way to kill himself, but would go on to regard the day they met as "the first day of his life". Upon joining the Union its leader, Juiz, begins to see the potential her Unluck has in their fight against God itself, and is among the members of the Union who grow genuinely fond of her. Even enemies see something in her, as the leader of Under, who can utilize Power Copying against anyone who hates him, can't get Fuuko's Unluck no matter what he does while recurring antagonist Victor eventually enables Fuuko to become the Union's leader, giving her the right to move on to the next and final Loop and the entire cast sacrifices itself to give Fuuko the time needed to do so. After those events, Fuuko hits the ground running to live up to the trust and hope she's inspired in others. She spends the 101st Loop not only recruiting every Negator she knows into the Union, not only doing so in such a way that she prevents or mitigates the tragedies that accompanied their Negation Abilities' awakening, but does so with friend and enemy alike and without Andy available to help her directly. The Union that develops from these actions has Undying Loyalty to Fuuko and is stronger and more numerous than any version that came before it. | |

In Final Fantasy X the summoners act as bringers of hope as they go on their pilgrimages in a bid to defeat Sin and bring about the Calm. Unfortunately, it's a false hope since the Final Summoning that is used to slay Sin also ensures its rebirth. Yuna rejects this once she finds out the truth and resolves to find a real solution. In the sequel, Yuna is even more so. Everyone knows that she is the bringer of the Eternal Calm — something once believed, with good reason, to be impossible — and most are in awe of her. When Vegnagun is threatening Spira, it is Yuna who convinces others to travel to the Farplane and fight it. |

Doctor Who: The Doctor themself, much to their own surprise, has become this after untold centuries travelling the universe fighting evil. No matter the odds, no matter how unstoppable the Evil Plan of the day is, as long as the Doctor's around, there's hope. The TARDIS, specifically, her characteristic vworping sound, as described by the Moment. Usually, because she's bringing the Doctor. Not everyone sees him this way, however, such as the one-shot character from the Ninth Doctor's debut who believes his appearance to be a Portent of Doom. And he's not really wrong, even if he's got the cause and effect backwards: The Doctor might be there to render aid, but if he's not Late to the Tragedy then his appearance is a big hint that things are going to get a lot worse before they start to get better. "The Doctor Dances": Rose Tyler becomes this to Nancy, a young woman living in London during the Blitz, after revealing that she's a time traveller from the future and telling Nancy that Germany doesn't win World War II. |

Diablo's Auriel is the Archangel of Hope, so this trope is natural to her — several characters, angelic or otherwise, have their spirits renewed once she is freed from Rakanoth's clutches. The Nephalem, i.e. the player character, is also a hope bringer who inspires the human defenders wherever he or she goes to fight more effectively, by dint of being the only character in the series who isn't eternally too late to stop the demonic schemes. | |

The Batman (2022): Batman is not this through most of the movie. The primary driver of his campaign is indiscriminate terror. This leads to him unwittingly creating a much more brutal copycat in The Riddler and his followers. Batman's character arc in the film is realizing that he needs to stop using fear and violence as his main tools and become a symbol of hope for the innocent and downtrodden people of Gotham. This is represented by his final act of heroism in the movie not being beating a criminal to a pulp, but acting as a beacon for civilians trapped in flooding waters, leading them to safety. | |

League of Legends: Aatrox invokes but subverts this trope for the sake of increasing his power and sating his bloodlust; His appearances in history have him come and aid the losing side of a war by fighting back the enemies by himself and rallying them under his power. However, he brings too much hope, and eventually the formerly losing side turns the war from a counterattack to a massacre in which the individuals often don't realize how far they've gone until they're staring at the corpses of the enemy sides' innocent civilians. Taric is a straighter example. If the Aspect of Protection shows up to rescue you, you're as good as saved. Absolutely nothing will stop him from coming to your side and deploying the stars themselves to bring you out unharmed. Thus far, (as far as we know), Aatrox and Taric have never met on the same battlefield, but when they do it should be interesting. Braum is another straight example. A Freljordian folk hero, his stories may be a little exaggerated, but he embraces them because they encourage people to be kinder and more optimistic, a valuable thing in the harsh and war-torn Freljord. Another subversion is Kled, whose backstory has him adopted as a Noxian mascot when he charges into battle, restoring the morale of a Noxian force ...which has only a few survivors, because it turns out racing into melee behind an Ax-Crazy Yordle with no strategy is not a good idea. Nor is he particularly eager to bring hope to people, given that he is a violently insane, ambiguously cannibalistic murder hobo. Lux sees her role as this. Her endless string of upbeat, encouraging voice lines can sometimes get a little grating. A third subversion is Tahm Kench, the River King, who gives people what they most desire...in order to feast on their despair, followed by the rest of them, when he takes it away again. |

One of The Sandman (1989)'s Endless is Despair, the living antithesis of this trope. She convinced Rao, a red sun, to create life on an unstable planet. Both of them knew that the planet was doomed, and there would be just one single survivor, "to remember, to mourn, to despair...". The planet was Krypton, and that survivor would grow to become Superman. The amount of hope that this failed plan unleashed killed the first Despair. Superman destroyed the Anthropomorphic Personification of Despair just by existing. | |

Dragon Quest: Dragon Quest: After the Dragonlord had brought Alefgard and its people to their knees, killing every warrior who dared to defy him, the King of Tantegel had lost all hope of saving his kingdom and his daughter until the Hero appeared before him. Realizing he was the descendant of Erdrick foretold by the legends, the King's hope was finally rekindled. Dragon Quest XI: Early on, the Luminary brings Rab and Jade the first bit of hope they've had in their quest in sixteen years just by dint of being alive — they thought he was long, long dead. After Mordegon claims the power of Yggdrasil and nearly brings the world to ruin, he becomes this to people as he reunites with his companions and defeats Mordegon's generals. Dragon Quest Builders takes place in an alternate world where the Dragonlord from the first game succeeded, and not only destroyed human civilizations, but also destroyed their hope and creativity. So naturally, to restore creativity and civilization, the goddess Rubiss gives you the Banner of Hope and sends you forth. |

Pharaoh City in Lightbringer was a Crapsack World ruled by a gang known as the Slavers. Things had gotten to the point where they were able to kidnap and sell anybody including police officers and their families. When the titular character became a superhero, his first mission was to bring the gang down — which he did. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam — Amuro, with his Gundam, was a factor who helped balance the odds in the war between Zeon and Earth Federation. It was later retconned by saying that his Gundam wasn't the only one used in that time. Downplayed in that none of them had the same propaganda impact as Amuro Ray the White Devil and the other units were based in out-of-the-way locations like Southeast Asia or the Thunderbolt sector and didn't really take part in major campaigns like Odessa or A Baoa Qu. The Gundam as a symbol of hope is a recurring theme throughout the Univeral Century and other continuities. Best exemplified by Bright Noa's speech from Hathaway's Flash |

Rat-Man (1989): This is the difference between a real superhero and a "man in tights": anyone with a superpower (or even without) can put on a costume and go out to fight crime, but a real superhero never gives up on hope and can inspire it in others... And Rat-Man, in spite of being an idiot with a horrible personality, is surprisingly good at both accounts, to the point that when a Son Goku Expy beat him up with a rock the rock begged for mercy while Rat-Man punched his opponent on the nose, causing the various Men in Tights to recover their hope and become real superheroes themselves (the first of them, the Man in a Spider Costume, is referred as the Superhero in a Spider Costume when he intervenes in the fight and saves Rat-Man at the cost of his own life). | |

Fallout: Equestria: DJ Pon3 names Littlepip "Lightbringer," and tales of her exploits inspire the Wasteland. Wherever she goes trouble follows, but the net result is usually good. There's definitely overlap with The Dreaded here, as enemies start to react in fear whereas allies gain hope. Fallout: Equestria - Murky Number Seven: Murky is a slave who barely even understands the concept of choice, has been beaten down his entire life, and has been thrown into a gladiator arena where he will invariably be horribly killed. And then he witnesses Littlepip fly out of the arena, saving the slave who had been trying to kill her in the process. This becomes the impetus for him to finally do something for the first time in his life. |

Code Prime: Optimus Prime is constantly described and praised as one throughout the series. His ability to inspire hope in others is perhaps the greatest reason neither Britannia nor the Decepticons have won yet. Lelouch, Kallen, Ohgi, Nunnally and C.C. are just a few to have their spirits lifted by the Autobot leader, never-mind his fellow Autobots. Then Optimus obtains a Geass of his own which enhances this quality, giving him the knowledge of exactly what to say to ignite the hope within people's hearts. | |

In a very similar vein to Commander Shepard, Pathfinder Ryder in Mass Effect: Andromeda becomes this for everyone in the Andromeda Initiative. The plan to colonize Andromeda was fraught with adversity since the ark ships started arriving, with ships being crippled by the Scourge, the Golden Planets turning out to be inhospitable, the kett sabotaging every attempt at setting up settlements, and infighting reducing available manpower at the Nexus. Many started to believe they came to Andromeda, leaving behind their homes and families, in vain. When Ryder renders Eos habitable, however, hope begins to return... | |

In the trilogy starting with Final Fantasy XIII, the ironically-named Hope Estheim was decidedly not this trope in the beginning, being horribly pessimistic. But as the story progressed, he learned to try and not let despair win and became a source of positive thinking for the group. Whenever things started looking down, he'd be the guy who'd say "Let's just give it a try, and things might turn out okay". In the sequel, he grew up to become the leader of the Academy and foremost pusher for its ideals of mankind marching towards a brighter tomorrow. In the time between that and the third game, in a Time Crash that made everyone ageless (but not invulnerable) in a dying world, Hope spent over three centuries assuring the rest of humanity that there was still a brighter future to strive towards, and this gave strength to people who would otherwise be lost in their respective hang-ups (Noel, Snow, and Sazh among them). When Hope disappeared 139 years ago, these ideals vanished with him, and the world seemed like a much darker place. | |

Dragon Quest Builders takes place in an alternate world where the Dragonlord from the first game succeeded, and not only destroyed human civilizations, but also destroyed their hope and creativity. So naturally, to restore creativity and civilization, the goddess Rubiss gives you the Banner of Hope and sends you forth. | |

Doom Eternal: While most humans are scared shitless of the Doom Slayer, deep down they all agree that he might well be humanity's last hope against the Legions of Hell when they invade the Earth. Best exemplified with Dr. Elena Richardson, who goes from skeptical scientist to ardent believer in the span of two months after seeing how the Slayer alone is far more effective at fighting demons that humanity's most advanced weaponry and best trained armies. | |

In Sailor Moon, it's the title character herself. She inspires other people to fight despite the apparent hopelessness of the situation. Early on, it was Sailor Venus: she debuted in the main series right when Zoisite and (in the old anime) Kunzite had the others almost resigned to die, and then she appears and saves the others by either killing Zoisite (manga) or sending him and Kunzite running for the hills in fear, and the others just know they have it in the bag. In the manga she retains shades of this. Played for Drama, as the sheer effort to stay in character is eventually shown to have taken a toll on her, and because they admire her so much the others not only can't conceive she needs any help right when she needs it the most, they unwittingly hit on her self-esteem with the fact they've taken the Outers as role models because they consider her too good. |

And then, at the last free city, one robot emerged to lead the battered Autobots into successfully pushing the Decepticons back. And his name was Optimus Prime. In the UK comics, at least, this was mildly exploited by Emirate Xaaron, who made sure Optimus wouldn't be undermined by the remaining politicians and bureaucrats, and then left the rest to Optimus's sheer force of personality. Optimus' status as this is used again in the "Return to Cybertron" two-parter. The Autobot resistance on Cybertron have basically given up, with only Blaster still fighting the Decepticons, and not entirely for the right reasons. Then they learn Optimus is still alive, and their fighting spirit comes right back. Even when Optimus isn't present, he's still a Hope Bringer. |

Captain America of course. He especially became this for the fractured and extremely distrusted Marvel Universe's superhero community when he returned to life during Dark Reign. Also the one from the Ultimate Marvel universe. Cap is seen as this by many on his own team, such as Tony Stark. He was this for pretty much the majority of the American populace after he helped prevent the United States from breaking apart, and saved multiple people from the machinations of Thor's evil son, Modi. |
