Often preceded by "You're a hero!" The Hero will respond: "I'm not a hero. I'm _____!" Can be used in a variety of ways, including: The Hero is awesome. May deliver the line as "I'm no hero. I'm _____!", "I'm not a hero; I'm a superhero!" or "I'm not a hero. I'm just doing my job." Depending on the delivery, the latter can have either the connotation that the character is humble about his heroism or the exact opposite, that he thinks he's better than "heroes" because they're amateurs and he's a professional. If delivering the line to a villain and trying to be exceptionally badass or frightening, The Hero may say: "I'm not a hero. I'm Your Worst Nightmare" or something along those lines. The Hero is humble. Occasionally accompanied by Think Nothing of It. They may point out others who are The Real Heroes. Heroic Self-Deprecation. May lead to You Are Better Than You Think You Are. The Hero attempts to refuse or ignore the call, but will eventually accept it. The Hero exhibits false humility. Can lead to Dude, Where's My Respect? or Dude, Where's My Reward?. This "hero" may not be a hero at all. Can provide a lesson on the importance of humility. The Hero realized that they are not the hero they thought they were, and, as a result, their confidence is shot. Depending on the medium and the genre, may deliver An Aesop. The Hero only says their name. The Hero (or Anti-Hero) uses this logic to enable themselves to do what no one else could do, or should do, for the "greater good". Occasionally accompanied by the Zero-Approval Gambit. The Hero may not actually be a hero. A subtrope of I Am the Noun. Compare I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder. Contrast The Chosen Zero. |

In This Immortal, Conrad's reaction when confronted with Diane's adoration towards his former identity Konstantin Karaghiosis is to reject it, although he later uses it to talk her into trusting him on whether someone else should live or be killed. It is also Played for Laughs when they check into a hotel in Athens only for Conrad to get the suite, a room famous for having been Konstantin Karaghiosis' headquarters during the Radpol Rebellion — pretty much everything in that room is adorned with a plaque commemorating the occasion: | |

In A Certain Magical Index After his Heel–Face Turn, Accelerator rejects being called a hero, saying that a hero would be able to save the day without killing anybody. Touma also reacts in confusion to being called a hero, simply saying "I just did what anyone would do, right?" Mikoto in A Certain Scientific Railgun also denies being called a hero "like that idiot" (Touma), who is able to save everyone including the very villains he fights while she can barely keep her loved ones safe. |

After all, he hadn't been fighting to protect anyone and just wanted to get home. Not to mention his guilt over having to kill Gascoigne and Henryk, depriving a little girl of her last remaining family members. | |

In the first season of Arrow, Oliver is noticeably annoyed when Diggle tries to make him help random people outside of his crusade against the Undertaking. "You don't seem to understand what it is I do." In this case, it's not humility, it's simple facts. In season one, he really wasn't a hero, he was just a guy on a revenge kick who happened to be targeting criminals. It was only in season two that he reversed that trend. | |

In the Justice League Cadmus arc, The Question tries to assassinate Lex Luthor in order to avert a dark alternate future. He reasons that a known Crackpotnote his word like him could go rogue without surprising people, but if a hero were to breach the Thou Shalt Not Kill policy, the whole world would go to hell. (He was probably right.) | |

The catchphrase of Izumi Curtis, from Fullmetal Alchemist. Even though she's the one who trained the Elric brothers in martial arts and alchemy, she manages to make a Badass Boast out of declaring that she's (merely) a housewife. It gets subverted near the end of the Brotherhood anime when she gleefully exclaims she's an alchemist. | |

Fate/Harem Antics: Characters sometimes call out Archer/Francis Drake for her dirty tricks and other antics unbecoming of a hero. She says she's not a hero, she's a pirate. While fighting Avenger/Jeanne Alter, Saber/Arturia tries to invoke an honorable fight as they are both knights. Jeanne mocks her and says she's not a knight, she's a witch who wants the world to burn. |

The Keys Stand Alone: In a case of Exactly What It Says on the Tin, George uses this phrase several times, and the others agree with him. All four hate being singled out to go on quests and perform heroic acts, especially when there are lots of other powerful, competent outworlders around to do these things—not to mention the city guards, who never do anything in these situations despite being the local cops. As John puts it, “We can't solve everyone's problems.� Which is what happened to them in Real Life, essentially, which explains why they find it easy enough to turn down a girl begging them to save her 8-year-old sister, and why they almost turned down a request to save a dying baby. |

Even after the Jedi all but shove a lightsaber into her hand, she's done some heroics looking for the Star Maps, and assembled the Ragtag Band of Misfits, she still considers herself Bastila's aide.

Kamen Rider Saber: Touma Kamiyama rejects being called a a hero. He is a novelist, always wanted to be a novelist, and simply got dragged along by the events. There is also a more sinister reason: Storious set up most of the story as an epic saga of battle between good and evil and cast Touma as the "hero figure". By refusing to cave into his demands, Touma ruins Storious' enjoyment of the whole thing, thus taking away the only thing he ever wanted. | |

She says he's right, and walks away, leaving Jeremy - whose entire thing had been that there were no such things as heroes and villains - protesting that she was a superhero and couldn't do this. | |

For a series in which over 90% of the characters are veteran soldiers, Metal Gear is amazingly pacifistic and permanently deconstructing the ideal of the '80s and '90s action hero. It's particularly emphasized in the first and fourth games of the main series when Solid Snake rebukes Ascended Fangirl Meryl, who claims to have trained to become a soldier all her life because she was inspired by him. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the episode "Empok Nor", Garak (under the influence of drugs) has been twisting the knife about Miles O'Brien's participation in an incident that occurred while he was serving in the Federation-Cardassian war under Captain Maxwell; O'Brien led an attack on a Cardassian encampment and was dubbed "the Hero of Setlik III". Li Nalas was hailed as a legend in the Bajoran Resistance during the Occupation, with most people proclaiming him Bajor's greatest war hero. In "The Homecoming", he confesses in private to Commander Sisko that he was no hero — he was just some dumb kid who got stupidly lucky and managed to kill an infamous Cardassian leader while the man was bathing in a river. Sisko tells him how he became a hero doesn't matter, and that Bajor needed a larger-than-life figure at that point to avoid plunging into civil war. |

The Wheel of Time: Mat "I'm no bloody hero!" Cauthon, usually said after he does something heroic. He is the variety that thinks he can ignore the call, even though he's actively doing heroic things. Doubly obtuse, since he has gifted memories of hundreds of people throughout time - if there's one person who could objectively judge him a hero, it should be him. The Dragon Reborn stopped being this and pendulumed into Designated Hero syndrome, impressive because he is a bona fide, prophecy-certified, world-changing hero. He came around to a true, self-admitted hero in the final few books. |

In Fire Emblem Engage, some of the Emblems react this way in their Bond Conversations with the army's members, but Sigurd is the most insistent. Given that, in his home universe, his rashness led to him invading two local nations and unwittingly helping his country annex them, laying the groundwork for it becoming The Empire, before he lost his wife and got most of his allies killed, this is very understandable. | |

In Bokurano Aiko "Anko" Tokosumi thinks "We're not heroes," in the middle of her arc, after someone shoots and kills a kid who's pretending to be one of the pilots, in revenge for the thousands of people who were killed in collateral damage in Zearth's previous battles. She even expects that she'll "die alone, hated and forgotten" once this is over. That said, her appearance on TV, in which she makes an impassioned speech to the people of Earth, helps win many people over. | |

Shion Bladedarts in The Legendary Hero Is Dead! admits that he's no hero but rather a criminal because he purposely didn't completely seal Hell's Gate because it would cut off the mana supply to Earth and thus kill off his companion Anri. He could have actually avoided the trap that starts the series but at that point, he was already Driven to Suicide. | |

One Piece: In the Fishman Island arc, none other than Luffy himself has one. Specifically, Jimbei asks him to be the "hero" of Fishman Island, to which Luffy informs him that he's a pirate, not a hero, and has no desire to be one. Luffy then gives an analogy about how a hero would share his meat with everyone, while a pirate would simply feast on it. He ends up agreeing to help anyway when Jimbei promises to give him some meat. Zoro gives a similar analogy later, except with booze instead of meat. Note this is a case of 'they are really not heroes.' The Straw Hats and Luffy in particular just do what they want, always, regardless of the consequences. Most of the time, because they're nice people, this ends up being 'beat up the bastard who made my friend cry, who just happens to be the man who's oppressing this entire region, so I have subsequently liberated a country from tyranny.' But it's equally likely to be 'try to break my brother out of prison, and subsequently release thousands of dangerous criminals who will go on to hurt people out into the world.' Luffy never forgets that he is a pirate, even when his actions happen to benefit people, so he discourages heaping praise on him unless it comes in the form of an awesome meat-themed party. |

This is the prevailing attitude of jujutsu sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen - they're not heroes who are motivated by their desire to save innocent lives, but rather people with incredible powers who, more often than not, will use those powers for their own goals and survival. In fact, a jujutsu sorcerer with purely selfless intentions who goes through a Break the Cutie can end up being even worse than a selfish sorcerer, as seen with Suguru Geto. This often results in conflicts between different sorcerers as their goals clash or their impulsivity gets them into trouble. In general, almost every sorcerer has a selfish reason for their being a sorcerer. Itadori wants to appease his consciousness and his grandfather's last words, Kugisaki wants to live in Tokyo, Maki wants to show up her family, Mai wants to stay with Maki, Mechamaru wants to have a normal body, Miwa wants to make money, and Gojo wants to feed his ego. This is averted by some sorcerers, of course - in particular, Nanami returned to the Jujutsu world after leaving it because he realized that Good Feels Good. |

Rean Schwarzer in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III has repeatedly stated that he's no hero and he's just some random guy who teaches at a military academy. This despite having participated in the Civil War in the second game and having genuine accomplishments on his belt. Part of this is because he's a Humble Hero but the bigger reason is that the Evil Chancellor forces him to become Erebonia's national hero with all the burdens that it entails. | |

Only for Zack to clarify that being a hero isn't Terra's decision, it's for everyone around him to decide. Whether he likes it or not, Terra is a hero to both Zack and the cheering crowd around him at the time. | |

In Christopher Robin, the title character says this to his childhood friend Pooh after "rescuing" his friends from a Heffalump (which was an act on his part). Pooh calls him a hero for saving them all, but Christopher, who has seen the horrors of World War II, doesn't think of himself as one. Pooh still does, and the two share a tearful embrace on their old hill. | |

Maria no Danzai: Maria was once a happily married woman and a mother. However, her beloved son was killed right in front of her, and she discovered that she was killed in a prank gone wrong by demonic bullies who tortured her son before they killed him. She snapped toward revenge and threw away her life and marriage, eventually taking a new identity as a nurse at her son's old school to kill the bullies one by one and destroy them emotionally before killing them. Even though the bullies showed themselves as unredeemable monsters that deserve to die, Maria is well aware that she's become far from a righteous person and feels guilty when others think of her as a kind woman. Even killing Kowase, chopping him up and burning his remains is a little more than she can stomach. This is shown during an end-of-term faculty party where she helps Atsuki, who is feeling down because of the disappearance of Kowase and Shikimi. When the principal pressures him to keep quiet and to drink alcohol, Maria helps him stay sober by distracting the principal. Atsuki later thanks Maria for getting the principal off his back, but Maria becomes upset and leaves the party without a word, to his shock. Maria, deep down, feels she isn't worthy of thanks or compliments because she's not the kind person she presents herself as to her fellow teachers and students. | |

Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor story "The Horns of Nimon" features a boy named Seth who is regarded as a hero on his home planet of Aneth, to the point where he is sent with the young people who are to be sacrificed to the Nimon in the hope that he will destroy the Nimon and put an end to the sacrifices. However, he tells Romana that he is no hero and never wanted to be a hero; he just "chanced to be around when things happened." To further complicate matters, his friend Teka (who is among the would-be sacrifices) believes in Seth's heroic reputation and Seth doesn't want to disillusion her, so he asks Romana not to tell Teka what he has just said. Donna Noble frequently puts herself down by saying "I'm nothing special; I'm just a temp from Chiswick". As it turns out, she's destined to become the Donna-Doctor to stop the Daleks from exterminating reality. Done again in "The God Complex". In order to save Amy Pond, the Doctor must break her faith in the idea of him as a hero. The episode "Robot of Sherwood" basically revolves around how the Twelfth Doctor makes a point to protest the notion. At the end of it, he and Robin Hood agree that while they might not be heroes, they might inspire heroism in others with the stories of their deeds. Clara's opinion on the matter is that while he might not always do the right thing, the fact that he tries to do his best where he can is what really counts. In "Death in Heaven", Missy offers the Doctor an army with which to conquer the universe for its own good. In response, he has a breakthrough and starts listing all the things he isn't — a good man, a bad man, a hero, a President, or an officer. He's an idiot with a box, a screwdriver, and some friends, same as ever. From "Smile": |

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2016), Link is very wary of being called a hero despite all the things he does for friends and strangers alike, because he doesn't believe he deserves to be called one after accidentally sending his town to the Twilight Realm. |

In Mega Man Zero 4, Dr. Weil tries to invoke Thou Shalt Not Kill against Zero because that's what heroes like him do. Unfortunately for Weil, Zero never considered himself a hero, he is just fulfilling his duty of ridding the world of a madman and mass murderer like Dr. Weil. | |

Alex Trebek insisted on being called the host of Jeopardy!, not the star. He qualified that the stars of the show are the contestants and the game itself. Same with Drew Carey on The Price Is Right. In fact, when the Emmy nominations for outstanding game show host come out, Drew insists his name be left out. |

In the Firefly episode "Jaynestown", criminal/mercenary Jayne is considered a hero by the locals after dropping stolen money on them a few years before. He only dropped it to lighten his damaged aircraft in order to escape capture... and he threw his partner out first. He has a change of heart about basking in their adoration: | |

Used hilariously by Martin in the Frasier episode "Bad Dog." After Frasier spends days trying to expose Bulldog for the fraud he is after accidentally preventing a gunman from harming people, Martin exposes him in a matter of seconds simply by shouting "Hey, Bulldog, that man's got a gun!" in front of the crowd of people honoring him for his "heroic act", causing Bulldog to use his own mother as a human shield. The crowd sees through what happened before and turns on Bulldog. Upon which, Martin explains to Frasier: | |

Kingdom Hearts: In Kingdom Hearts II, after Auron saves Sora, Donald, and Goofy from Hades, this exchange occurs before giving them his name: Hercules also exhibits the "loss of confidence" by the book in the same game. Thankfully, he gets better. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has Terra. When Zack calls him a hero after being saved, Terra dismisses the notion. Only for Zack to clarify that being a hero isn't Terra's decision, it's for everyone around him to decide. Whether he likes it or not, Terra is a hero to both Zack and the cheering crowd around him at the time. |
