For some heroes, when they receive the Call to Adventure, they refuse the call. When they finally accept the call, they continue to complain that "I Just Want to Be Normal". Heroes who Jumped at the Call wonder what is wrong with those people. And vice versa. These heroes are excited when adventure comes calling. They never, ever, ever say "I Just Want to Be Normal". They already have a costume, already picked out a codename, and they have been practicing how to deliver a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner. They are already swallowing the red pill before you can even offer them the blue. About the worst thing you could do to them is to bring them down to normal or tell them someone else Missed the Call. They do not even care that more experienced people are reluctant; Least Is First. Often, had a Changeling Fantasy once upon a time, and generally has otaku tendencies. They are truly living the dream. Such a hero is also the most likely to be The Unchosen One, the Chosen hero that chose themselves. However, you can also be too eager to jump, and end up jumping off a cliff. Beware shady strangers offering you everything you want. Savvy bad guys, especially the Big D, will try to get you to miss the real call by jumping at theirs instead. They also sometimes tend to forget the baggage that comes with answering the call, namely the fact that The Call Knows Where You Live. When a hero is given a chance at returning to heroism and jumps at it, they are usually in love with being In Harm's Way. Neophytes might think themselves in love with it, and may actually turn out to be, but they may also discover, after real adventures, that they do not love it after all. If a hero loses whatever power or abilities that made them a hero and forces themselves into The Call again, one could say they have Got the Call on Speed Dial. A variant path through The Hero's Journey. May be a trait of The Troublemaker. Do not confuse this with Got Volunteered, where a character is forced to "Jumped at the Call" by the other folks. Compare/Contrast The Team Wannabe. |

Betrayal at Krondor: After initially trying not to get himself involved in the situation, Owyn has a chance to continue with the quest - and eagerly takes it. When Gorath and James sneak out of Krondor to go and investigate the moredhel threat, Owyn intercepts them and insists that if he isn't taken along, he'll surely talk to the wrong person by accident on the way home and jeopardize their mission - essentially throwing the reason he was initially forced to come along back in their faces. | |

On Adventure Time the main characters Finn and Jake often jump at any excuse to have an adventure, which is a main premise of the show (hence the title Adventure Time). One example is in the episode "The Enchiridion!" where the princess of the local kingdom Princess Bubblegum challenges Finn to seek out a book for heroes, which Finn enthusiastically obliges by saying "I am into this stuff!" | |

Made in Abyss: Riko has seemingly been obsessed with cave-diving since she learned to walk. In the first episode, she tries (again) to convince her teacher to let her go deeper, right after she and Nat have a near-fatal encounter with a monster that wandered up from the depths. When a mysterious letter from her mother reaches the surface, inviting Riko to come find her at the bottom of the chasm, Riko essentially takes it as an excuse to do what she always intended to do anyway. | |

Coop of Megas XLR both plays it straight and subverts it. As implied by the opening theme song, he digs his giant robot. However, The Call is actually Kiva's insistence that he save humanity in the future, and Coop's fondness of that is decidedly lacking. He likes to fight, but it's more about having a giant robot than following the call. | |

Faith of Harbinger was a cheerful comic geek who was overjoyed when she was offered the chance to get superpowers. As in the Runaways example above, she's the only one of her teammates to put together a homemade costume, as well as the only one to really think of herself as a 'superhero'. | |

Subverted in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The call (Fate) doesn't have any hold over you. High King Tatarion praises you if you choose to save the world saying that while answering the call is all well and good, YOU chose to be the hero and that makes you a true hero. | |

Digimon: Daisuke, Miyako, and Iori from Digimon Adventure 02, although the last two almost immediately regretted it and while they never quite made it to I Just Want to Be Normal, they never managed to be as gung-ho as Daisuke in the most critical moments. The Digimon Frontier kids had to follow the directions of a literal call on their cellphones to make it to the Digital World, but Takuya was the one who actually jumped. Mikey in Digimon Fusion drags his friends into the Digital World. |

Dragon Age: Most of the Origin stories in Dragon Age: Origins allow the player character to either drag his/her feet and try to reject recruitment by the Grey Wardens or eagerly badger authority figures to be allowed to join. In Dragon Age II, according to the codex, this is true of a Mage Hawke. Part of the reason Bethany was so close to her elder sibling was that she looked up to them with a mixture of envy and awe for being able to so completely embrace their mage identity, while she always viewed their gift as a terrible burden. |

Riff from Sluggy Freelance loves nothing more than building absurdly overpowered weapons and using them to reduce evil monsters to smithereens. If no evil monsters are around, he'll start fiddling around with dimensional portals and Black Magic rituals until he finds some. He once tried putting some of his robots into storage—this didn't go so well. | |

In Magic Knight Rayearth, Hikaru is instantly eager and willing to take up Clef's charge of saving Princess Emeraude while Umi and Fuu are still protesting that they need to get back to Tokyo. Throughout the journey, she's the one who takes the lead and keeps them going. As a consequence, The Reveal of their true mission is so painful to her that the second season of the anime gives her an Enemy Without created from her sorrow. | |

Kazuki from Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure provides an excellent example of this. The second-in-command of Sanada's organization prepares a long, overwrought speech trying to convince him to fight in a mecha on behalf of their organization, and she is barely able to get five words out before Kazuki readily agrees. | |

Heroes: Hiro Nakamura recognised his powers the second he got them and did everything he could to develop them so he could become a Super Hero. He didn't just jump at the call; he'd spent his life sitting by the phone. Early in the series, Peter Petrelli shows similar tendencies, spouting lines like "Do you ever think you were meant for something greater?" to then-strangers. Gabriel Gray would give up his abilities in a heartbeat for a little approval. When he remakes himself as Sylar, however, he not only jumps at his call but at anyone else's he can get his hands on. |

Condorman features a lead character who doesn't merely jump at the call — he steals it. Woody Wilkins is a comic book writer who insists that his character (the eponymous Condorman) not do anything that he himself couldn't do in real life. It turns out that his friend works for the CIA and Woody talks him into letting him go on a routine courier mission, where he meets up with a lovely KGB spy named Natalia, who subsequently chooses to defect. | |

After seeing Shizuru effortlessly demolish a fleet of battleships in the first episode of My-Otome, Arika made the decision on the spot to start her path toward becoming a full-fledged Otome just like Shizuru, as part of her journey to find her long-missing mother. It doesn't help matters much that she receives encouragement from Haruka Armitage shortly thereafter. | |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: The Mighty Kamina! When a giant mech, technology that was completely unknown to them, drops into their underground village, he stands up to it and threatens it with a completely ordinary nodachi which he took from the Village Chief, heroic speech at hand note By the way, Word of God states that he would have won even without help; he is just that much of a Memetic Badass.. Even after the girl with the absurdly powerful rifle, also unknown technology to the village, barely damages it. Then again, Katanas Are Just Better. This is just the start - his entire job in the series seems to be heroic speeches and epic-but-ridiculous action, down to called attacks like the "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?! KICK!". | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Tuuri had been kept inside her home military base by her brother for eleven years when she was offered a spot on the expedition, and was really, really looking for a reason to leave at least temporarily by then. Emil was really interested in a seemingly easy way of proving himself worthy of a promotion. The remnants of his days as a pampered rich kid very likely didn't agree well with the usual career progression routes. Compared to her usual job, the expedition is a vacation with a pay to Sigrun. Trond from Mission Control got recruited at his own retirement party and really needed something to keep him busy. |

RWBY: At the end of Volume 3, the villains succeed in completing their mission in Vale, which leaves almost all the protagonists reeling. Upon discovering she has a Unique Protagonist Asset that might help, Ruby sets off for Mistral to try and hunt down the villains to learn what's going on and how to defeat them. She calls Jaune's team, who agree to help her out, and is eventually reunited with her own team along the way. The mission to Haven Academy reveals more than they bargained for, but Ruby becomes determined to stop the villains anyway. Once the protagonists learn the truth about The Chosen One and the Forever War between the Big Bad and Big Good, she decides to take control of the entire fight as The Unchosen One, due to the former Chosen One being too burned out and the new Chosen One initially being too untrained. | |

In a display of Adaptational Intelligence compared to his Godzilla vs. Kong portrayal, Mark admits that with the way Madison's been raised unconventionally in Monarch for years before the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), he suspects that she probably doesn't even want a normal childhood anymore if she can even have one. | |

The Dresden Files: The protagonist, Harry, jumped at the chance to use his inborn magical powers for heroism, because (A) he was orphaned at a young age, and the evil warlock who adopted him was actively trying to either brainwash him into complete submission or murder him horribly. And (B) he had briefly felt hopeful under said warlock's care before said warlock revealed his true nature, annihilating his innocence, and he was sick of evil just randomly coming into his life and destroying everything he held dear. Once Harry actually got a decent mentor and some training in ethics, he was quite good at it, too. A less traumatic example occurs later in the series, with young wizard Molly Carpenter. She is extremely naive when first coming into her power — unfortunately, her magical talent is mental, i.e, telepathy and brainwashing — and in attempts to help her friends, she ends up breaking their minds. And the psychic backlash of that attracts sadistic Fae that would like nothing more than to torture her in their distant, Alcatraz-esque fortress. Fortunately, Harry realizes this in time to rescue Molly, and after he becomes her mentor and teaches her about the dangers of the supernatural world, she becomes much more responsible and disciplined with her magic (Noticing a pattern here?) At the end of Skin Game, Waldo Butters is offered the chance to wield Fidelacchius as a Knight of the Cross and says he can't imagine not doing it. |

Birds of Prey: Misfit is a rather tragic take on this. She Jumped at the Call because she doesn't have a normal life to return to after her family died in an apartment fire. She was unable to save them because her teleportation powers kill anything that travels with her, and may or may not have been their cause of death by trying anyways (not that staying in the fire was any better). | |

Supernatural: While his brother, Sam, instead jumped at the chance to go to college, Dean stayed on with hunting and loved it. (This was before he was broken. Now he's not exactly so eager about it.) Arguably this could be more because he followed his Dad's orders without question and couldn't even comprehend disobeying than anything to do with noble heroics. And it took a confused English teacher at a random school to teach Sam that he could go to college himself. And then there's Jimmy, who didn't so much jump at the chance to serve God as Castiel's vessel as wildly fling himself at it. It's kind of an understatement just to say he actually prayed for this... Though he regrets it once he figures out what it actually entails. |

Power Rangers: Mack from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive jumps at the call to become Red Ranger. This is against his father's wishes, as said father was originally going to be Red himself before his son snuck the morpher out from under him. Most Rangers Jumped at the Call when initially offered ("We get to be POWER RANGERS? AWESOME!"), only to later realize what being a Ranger actually means and develop an I Just Want to Be Normal attitude. In the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Jason (the Red Ranger) is the first to agree with the giant floating head telling him and his friends they have to save the world from an evil alien witch. Even when she was stealing from the rich to give to the poor, Z from Power Rangers S.P.D. wanted to do more to help people. When she and her best friend Jack finally got arrested and Cruger offered them a place in S.P.D., she jumped at the chance to be part of something bigger and makes a difference, compared to his reluctance. |

The heroine of Queen of Thieves is a struggling artist on the verge of having to give up on her dreams and return to her hometown in defeat when the infamous thieves known as the Gilded Poppy show up wanting to recruit her for a heist. They provide extra incentive by implicating her as their accomplice in a couple of thefts, but considering the eagerness with which she grabs onto the offer, they probably didn't need to go to quite that much trouble. | |

Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion has been a Mecha pilot most of her life and revels in it. In fact, facing alien invaders is about the only thing she doesn't complain about. Finding herself paired up with a reluctant hero who is all "I Just Want to Be Normal" (Shinji) leads to a certain amount of tension. Add in an Emotionless Girl, and the whole gig starts to lose its luster. When it starts to become clear that she isn't The Chosen One and is likely to end up a Sidekick at best, she starts down the Hourglass Plot path, ending up in Mind Rape and Convenient Coma. | |

Once he learned there was a call to be answered, Kotetsu T. Kaburagi from Tiger & Bunny charged in its direction and never looked back. Back in high school, he spent most of his time trying to come up with cool superhero names and beating up street gangs as a "vanguard of justice". Like father, like daughter. Kotetsu's child Kaede recently got her own NEXT powers, and now that Kotetsu has been framed by Maverick to take him out, she has decided to help her father to clear his name. And mind you, Kaede is ten. |

Though Minto Aizawa in Tokyo Mew Mew wasn't happy about working with Ichigo at first, she thought it was her destiny to become Mew Mint and was even secretly delighted, which fits well with her reaction to her object of affection's Refusal of the Call. The anime reboot takes it a step further by having Minto become a Mew Mew before Ichigo and is happy to be one of The Chosen Many. |

Eidolon and Shift from DC Nation are raging, hard-core superhero fanboys who jumped at the chance to become heroes in their own right. Green Lantern Travis Grey pickpocketed his ring, used it to clean up his crappy, inner-city neighborhood. When the senior lanterns come back for the ring, he just dares them to take it. Guy is so impressed by this, he offers to train the kid. | |

Green Lantern: Guy Gardner. Not only does he revel in being a Green Lantern, but whenever his powers get taken away, he goes out and finds entirely new powers. He even spent a brief period as a Bad Ass Normal before Executive Meddling gave him tattoos and morphing powers. Kyle Rayner. A "blue midget in a dress" gives him a ring and he's not sure what is going on but thinks it is way cool that when he puts on the ring his clothes change. Then his girlfriend points out that is Green Lantern's costume and Kyle gets even more enthusiastic. |

After this, Kouji was just eager to pilot Mazinger-Z and avenge his grandfather's murder. In Shin Mazinger Zero we saw what could have happened if he had Refused the Call. It was... not pretty. | |

In Leia, Princess of Alderaan a teenaged Princess Leia wants to help the fledgeling Rebel Alliance the moment she finds out someone is moving against The Empire. She literally performs data analysis to find an active Rebel base on Crait and takes a ship there so she can volunteer. Bail, who was thankfully on-base at the time, is terrified and furious - they might have shot her down! But finding out that her parents are involved makes Leia all the more determined; knowing they're ethical people, she finds her few doubts clearing. Bail and Breha try to keep her ignorant in the hopes that this will protect her if they're caught, but without ever ignoring their specific requests and orders Leia pushes and keeps getting herself increasingly entangled. By the end of the novel she's tasted loss for the first time and realizes with a little sadness that her childhood is over but is fully committed. | |

Until fairly recently, any James Bond film fits this trope; Bond is briefed on some threat to the world and, without more than a few moments flirting with Moneypenny and collecting Gadgets from Q, dives straight into the fray. The few times when he's dodged the orders he's been given are still, mostly, him answering the call; his bosses are the ones who've misheard it. The Call has, however, been very, very personal in a few movies, most recently Quantum of Solace, where Bond runs off chasing a relatively minor bad guy with disproportionate interest, just because that bad guy is connected to the death of Vesper. He still hits the big bad guys where they live, but he almost stumbles on them by accident along the way. A similar pattern was last seen in Licence to Kill, which was followed by the Bond series stalling for six years. Thankfully, MGM/EON overcame their financial difficulties enough to announce that the next film would be released in 2012. | |

She was even referring to Yuka as "sempai", before ever meeting her. Why settle for being a highschool girl, when you can partner up with VG's strongest waitress and her friends? | |

In Black Legion, the moment Falkius heard Sargon talk about the location of Vengeful Spirit was the moment he decided he's going to get it, despite the directions to it being extremely obscure. Similarly, Khayon joins him the moment he hears of the plan and after Children's attack incapacitates Falkius, he becomes the driving force behind the search. It helps that both were Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life. | |

Slayers: Princess Amelia, despite being a magical princess in a fantasy setting, draws up long speeches about Justice, names attacks — like punching someone really hard — and generally tries to be a superhero. She also always has the high ground (even if she tends to fall off of it). This is largely because she's a parody of Sailor Moon. Prince Phil (Amelia's dad) keeps the family trait, going so far as to fake his death and start running around the rooftops in a frikkin' Batman costume. Despite being the bloomin' King!! |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: This is part of the reason why the Iron Man films have been so successful. In contrast to heroes like Spider-Man and Batman, Tony Stark is a man who seems to genuinely enjoy being a hero and makes the most of his talents. It's refreshing to see a film where being a superhero actually looks fun and not like a chore. Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger was very eager to answer the call, despite being put on hold multiple times due to his poor health. When offered the chance, he jumps at it with all his might and does everything he can to make sure he uses his powers for good. This logic also extends to his friends, who are only too happy to follow him into battle even after just escaping near-certain death. The MCU Spider-Man is so eager to answer the call, Tony tries to get him to slow down (without much success). He spends most of his solo movie specifically trying to prove himself to the Avengers, to the point where he nearly forgets his original motive of helping the little guy. |

Stephanie Edgely, the 12-year old heroine of the book Skulduggery Pleasant, is only too glad to enter a fantastic world of magic, living skeletons, and vampiric museum guards. It's subverted in the second book where many characters point out that Stephanie appears a bit too eager to join the supernatural world and misses out on a lot of experiences with her family and people her own age, and they try to explain to her that this is not a good thing (to little avail). It's most poignantly illustrated when the mirror image she sends to live her normal life tells her at one point that she has no friends at school (something she had been unaware of). |

In the Noob webseries and novels, Arthéon at some point decides that he needs a new start in life, so he decides to leave his gaming guild and become a solo player. He however quickly realizes that he has no idea what to do with the time that he formerly used up helping out his guild, so he plays this trope quite straight when he gets an e-mail that amounts to "Hi, this is the game creator. I have a job for you if you happen to be interested.". | |

Steven Universe: The titular character is the son of the late Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, and can't wait to be like the other Crystal Gems and help them save the world. Unfortunately, he still doesn't have a very good handle on his powers...and furthermore, he's beginning to realize that there are some serious downsides to the whole 'magical hero' business. Connie Maheswaran is rather of envious of Steven's "magical destiny" and thinks he'd be disinterested in someone as "normal" as she is. She's rather enthralled to be involved in Steven's magical adventures and immediately seconds Steven's suggestion to become Pearl's apprentice in swordsmanship. |

Batman: Tim Drake jumped at the call even when Batman said "no". He knew that Batman needed a Robin and if Dick Grayson wouldn't be Robin again, then he would. He's an interesting take as he first tried to get Dick to take the role and then figured his own status as a costumed hero would be temporary but given everything Bruce had better be well pleased Tim forced the Bat-family to accept him. | |

This is part of the reason why the Iron Man films have been so successful. In contrast to heroes like Spider-Man and Batman, Tony Stark is a man who seems to genuinely enjoy being a hero and makes the most of his talents.

Subverted in The Twelve Kingdoms: the Genre Savvy Yuka Sugimoto is thrilled at the prospect of being the heroine of a Trapped in Another World adventure story when a mysterious blond Bishōnen and a flying monster or two show up at her high school... except she isn't and they weren't there for her. The real heroine of the story, her classmate Youko Nakajima, has a typical (and one might say extreme) Refusal of the Call reaction to the early events of the series. Unfortunately, Yuka's stubborn insistence that she was the one being called causes her to act as an antagonist for a significant chunk of the first Story Arc. To her merit, once she does realize how mistaken she was, Yuka concedes and goes back home, letting Yoko take over. | |

The entire camp, save for Charles, Margaret, B.J., Hawkeye, and Father Mulcahy has come done with food poisoning from turkeys Klinger got for Thanksgiving. While B.J. and Hawkeye are getting antibiotics from another unit, Charles and Margaret come back from a medical conference to find Father Mulcahy (who was at a nearby orphanage) is now taking care of everyone. While Father Mulcahy is sorry everyone is sick, he's thrilled to be helping out, as he's always worried about whether or not he's been useful, and taking care of everyone when they're sick is definitely being useful. | |

The Wheel of Time: Most of the main characters were terrified at having to flee their isolated little village in order to lead the ravening monsters away from their loved ones. Egwene hid in a hayloft to make sure they didn't leave without her. Many of the false dragons, Logain in particular. He didn't just proclaim himself to gain power, but honestly thought he was the Dragon Reborn, destined to save the world. His being gentled justifies his bitterness and cynicism in the latter half of the series. |

Dragon Quest IX has the Player Character. While most Celestrians are Resigned to the Call and, had they been in the Player Character's position, would have probably stopped bothering since their task had by then been completed. You on the other hand, despite having no one pushing you and no way to get back to the Observatory with the Benevolessence, still continue helping the villagers without hesitation. Also when Celestria talks to you in your sleep, asking you to collect the fyggs, you do so without a second thought. | |

Though the titular protagonist of Moana initially does her best to resist the call and obey her parents' wishes, her lifelong wanderlust and love for the ocean means she eagerly leaps headlong into adventure once it becomes clear that her people need her to go and once she learns that her ancestors were in fact explorers who also jumped at the call. | |

Odd Squad: Olympia from "Assistant's Creed" is very eager to become an agent and doesn't like being stuck as one of Ms. O's assistants. She's so eager to jump at the call that she decides to venture out into the town and solve oddness on her own, with Ozric, who's also an assistant, being dragged along for the ride. Both of them end up becoming agents by the episode's end. The Season 3 premiere "Odd Beginnings" revolves around Opal, an Investigation agent working in an Odd Squad Headquarters situated in the Arctic, wanting to get out of the Arctic and be transferred to a different precinct where she can put her skills to good use. When she receives a letter from another agent named Oswald about a map leading to the legendary 44-leaf clover, she's more than ready to set out on an adventure to find the artifact, and convinces her partner Omar to come along as well. Oswald is more than eager to tag along with them when they meet up, and Orla, the guardian of the clover, also joins them once she finds that they can be trusted. The trope gets a Deconstruction in "The Thrill of the Face" as it follows up from "Odd Beginnings", only focusing on Oswald instead of Opal and Omar as it reveals how he jumped at the call to adventure and joined the duo so he could experience life beyond sitting behind a desk, but failed to realize just how much oddness exists in the world. He admits to Orla that he put on a brave facade for her, Opal and Omar because they jumped at the call and weren't afraid, but she assures him that despite his Cowardly Lion tendencies, he's still a valuable part of the Odd Squad Mobile Unit. |

UFO Robo Grendizer: Duke Fleed subverts it slightly. He was a reluctant hero who hated fighting and just wanted to be normal. When the Vegans attacked he could have just laid low and nobody would have forced him into battle. He willingly decided to fight, nonetheless (knowing that the consequences of not acting involve your new home becoming an uninhabitable radioactive wasteland and all of the people you care for being killed or enslaved no doubt factored into his decision). | |

The Noordegraaf Files has the title character, Theo, who is a massive fantasy geek and has always wished to live in another, magical world. He gets his chance, (along with a cute girl) and seems happy about it - even though people constantly tell him that this isn't a story and with the attitude he has he's going to end up getting himself killed. He doesn't even seem to hear them. It even has a Red Pill, Blue Pill scene with the girl mentioned above. |

The Elder Scrolls: In the series' backstory, near the end of the 2nd Era, the Greybeards summoned The Chosen One who would restore the Empire and conquer the elves to High Hrothgar, their monastery on the Throat of the World. Two heroes of mankind jumped at this call: Wulfharth Ash-King, the legendary ancient King of the Nords, famous Shezarrine who had died and come back to life at least three times, and noted Elf-hater, jumped at the call and went to the Greybeards. Instead, Wulfharth is "blasted to ash" by the Greybeards, who say that he is not the one. Tiber Septim was the founder of the Third Tamriellic Empire who ascended after his death as Talos, the Ninth Divine. When the Greybeards summoned him, he jumped at the chance. He went to them, accepted their title, studied with them to increase the power of his Thu'um, and ventured south to Cyrodiil to forge an empire on their word. While official Imperial orthodoxy records him as humble and pious, more heretical (and realistic) stories note Septim's extreme ambition playing a role. |

This trope was what made Archmaester Marwyn so memorable and well-liked in the fandom of A Song of Ice and Fire. While most characters are frightened of the rapidly shifting world around them, Marwyn showed up in one chapter, and by the end, he was on a boat to Essos to become Daenerys' maester. Another notable call-jumper in this series is Jon Snow. When presented with an option to join the Night's Watch, he volunteered instantly. Once there, he desired to become a ranger and go beyond the Wall. |

Randy does later face the burdens of his responsibility and questions whether or not he is worthy, but ultimately thinks being the Ninja is the best thing that ever happened to him. | |

Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece. He didn't need (or really have) any particular reason to become a pirate other than that he thought pirates were cool. He functions as a walking call when it comes to recruiting members of his crew.note An early short story that would later evolve into One Piece exists. After eating the Devil Fruit and losing the ability to swim, he tells his grandfather (who owned the fruit) he's fine with it since he doesn't want to become a pirate anyway. However, at the end of the story his cool slips and he admits he's devastated since he wants to become a pirate more than anything. (As this doesn't match Luffy's backstory in the series, this cannot be considered canon.) | |

Little Hands, Big Attitude: Combined with Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!; Sonic decides to save Shadow from GUN by feeling his in secret even after his parents and Agent Tower specifically forbid him from doing so because they would get in extra trouble with the already xenophobic GUN. When Agent Tower finds Sonic again, he calls him out on his Leeroy Jenkins and Didn't Think This Through tendecies by pointing out that all the times Sonic "saved the day", he had to be rescued by someone else or put him family in danger (such as when his mom broke him out of prison or how his parents were one second from getting stomped to death by Eggman's robot if not for dumb luck). Sonic doesn't appear to get the message. | |

The Bible: Isaiah, after having a vision of God and having his sins (symbolically) cleansed (Isaiah 6:8): Other Old Testament figures who jumped at the call: Noah, Abraham (though he did have lapses later), Jacob (but he only wanted God's blessings; it took more Character Development to turn him into a proper patriarch), Elisha, Jerobam (it didn't last), Jehu (it didn't last)... When Jesus gathered the Twelve Apostles, it was simply a matter of going to their homes/jobs and saying "Follow me". It is described that they left immediately, including leaving their nets in the water (some were fishermen). |

Final Fantasy: Zack Fair from the Final Fantasy VII prequel Crisis Core, and to an initially less-successful extent, Cloud, in the original Final Fantasy VII game. Zack continued to want to be a hero to the end. Cloud became far more reluctant after a while, though he still demonstrates a need to protect and rescue people he cares about. Garnet in Final Fantasy IX absolutely does this when the Tantalus Theatre Troupe came in to kidnap her. Turns out the Troupe was doing this by Uncle Cid's word. So she absolutely takes this chance to escape her castle. Tidus in Final Fantasy X is generally unconcerned about suddenly being yanked out of his world, and eagerly follows Yuna around even after initially being told he can't be one of her guardians. Considering he may have been a Unwitting Pawn, created by the fayth to stop Sin, and based on the poor bastard from Zanarkand who tried and failed to stop the senseless war, his eagerness makes sense. Final Fantasy XIII-2: After losing Lightning and Snow, and hearing nothing for two years, all it takes is a small-scale monster invasion and the word of mysterious youth Noel to send Serah traipsing across time and space in search of her sister. |

Ryusei Date of Shin Super Robot Wars, Super Robot Wars Alpha and OG might as well be the poster boy for this trope. In his first appearance in Shin, Hamaguchi orders him to sortie in his R-1, telling him not to press his luck since reinforcements will arrive soon. Ryusei has been waiting for this chance for a long time and isn't planning on not pushing his luck. His highly confident battle cry does little to inspire the staffers, but they have little choice but to leave it up to him. He beats up the aliens with backup from Raideen, but Hamaguchi gives Ryusei a good chewing out for pushing the still experimental R-1 so hard, threatening to ground him if he pulls any more reckless stunts. | |

Lampshaded in one of The Executioner novels. A female journalist asks Vigilante Man Mack Bolan why he's engaged in his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against The Mafia. Bolan replies that he was "simply the one there when the duty roster was handed out". When she scoffs at this answer, Bolan replies that, just as it's ridiculous for him to assume she should give up her career in journalism and become a housewife, it's ridiculous for her to think he'll forsake his far-more extensive military skills (which he lists in detail) and ignore what the mob is doing to his own country. | |

Kimiko from Marilith is nothing less than delighted when Marilith shoots some of her teachers and kidnaps her, claiming the teachers were harsh and the students bullied her. Not even losing her arm (hit by a truck when she wouldn't pull it inside the car window) is enough to dampen her spirits, and she continues to try to convince Marilith, Vic, and Dime to let her be an assassin too, stealing guns to play with at every opportunity. She finally gets her wish at the end of Krakow 2.0, when Marilith accepts her as a partner. In Marilith she gets trained in pistols and sniper rifles, and plays a pivotal role in most of Marilith's fights and plans. | |

Game of Thrones: Jon Snow is very eager to join the Night's Watch despite his uncle's advice to wait a while longer. Later, he jumps at the chance to join Qhorin Halfhand's ranging. Mance Rayder picks up on this trait very quickly, saying that he believes that the thing Jon wants, most of all, is to be a hero. When Davos comes to get Gendry in Flea Bottom he's expecting a long-winded speech to convince Gendry to leave his shop. Gendry goes with nary a word of protest, pulling out a pre-made bug-out bag and grabbing up a warhammer he made himself. According to him, he's sick of making weapons for the men that killed his father and has been prepping for this day for years. |

Midori in My-HiME is not only enthusiastic about her powers, but also seems to think she's Sailor Moon, complete with the "V" gesture, over-the-top introductions, and inspirational speeches about justice and friendship. Doubly ironic because not only is the series notably devoid of all that (and is significantly darker), but also because the original just wanted to be normal. | |

The Incredibles: Robert Parr, a.k.a. Mr. Incredible. When he was forced to retire, he didn't fall into civilian life like other heroes did (like his wife Helen, alias Elastigirl, and his best friend Lucius alias Frozone) and missed the action. So much in fact, that he jumped at an opportunity that turned out too good to be true. This was subverted in the opening act, with Mr. Incredible saying in an interview that he doesn't see himself doing superhero work forever, and Elastigirl boasting about being on top of her game and not about to quit. They end up switching attitudes when they're later forced to act normal. Edna Mode also jumps at the chance to make superhero outfits again, after Robert calls her to patch up his old suit. She gets so into it, in fact, that she ends up making suits for all five members of the Parr family as well as patching the old one. |

Godzilla vs. Kong: Madison has no interest in staying in school as her obsessively normal father wants of her when Godzilla starts rampaging and she realizes no-one but her and Bernie are actually going to have the basic sense to investigate the Apex facilities Godzilla has been targeting. The novelization expands on this, showing that Mark has become a My Beloved Smother type of father after the previous movie's events who wants Madison to be as normal as possible, and that Madison is not fitting into normal life nor does she have any interest in pursuing it. | |

Critical Role: Caduceus Clay, a priest to the Wildmother living at one of her most sacred temples, chose to leave with the Mighty Nein immediately to help save their captured friends. Afterwards, he stuck around on their travels, becoming the group's Combat Medic. He later reveals that he had a prophetic dream the night before, and that his bags were fully packed by the time the Nein walked in. He wasn't exactly reluctant to leave — he spent years living alone after the rest of his family left and didn't return, and recounts that period of his life as a timeless blur where no-one, not even the Wildmother, could see him. | |

Sari of Transformers: Animated is remarkably eager to serve as ally to the titular giant alien robots, actively befriending them and trying to sneak aboard their ship within their first meeting. When she discovers that she's half machine, her main concern is more that she wasn't told sooner. When she is barred from a mission after this, she promptly upgrades herself. | |

This is a recurring characteristic of many of the heroes in the Arrowverse. Barry Allen didn't take a whole lot of convincing to become The Flash, Wally West went looking for power to be a hero, Jesse Wells apparently took about 5 seconds to decide she was going to be a hero when she discovered her speed, Ray Palmer made a super-suit to become a superhero, Nate Heywood took to having superpowers like a fish to water, and Kara Danvers took to the air to perform a rescue and decided to finally be a superhero then and there. | |

The third Black Knight, Dane Whitman, starts off this way. Originally just an ordinary physicist, he had a habit of jumping at everything. Follow his dying supervillain uncle's request to redeem the Black Knight legacy? All right! Take up the family sword? Sure! Stay to fight in the Crusades after accidentally taking over his ancestor's body? Why not! Join every superhero team that's asked him to? Right on! He even jumps headlong into romantic relationships. But, in Captain Britain and MI13, after he's discovered the Crusades sucked, his family sword is hideously cursed yet he can't get rid of it, every single team he's joined and woman he's dated has forgotten him, and he feels like the only one still trying for idealistically heroic ideals, he's wondering if all that jumping was a good idea. | |

Jakita Wagner in Warren Ellis' comic-book series Planetary is an example of this, but not out of a sense of heroism. At one point in the series, she gets to destroy several thirty-foot mutant ants with her bare hands. Though she doesn't say anything, the expression on her face in the close-ups clearly reads "I have the best job in the world." In a nice cross-trope subversion in one issue, she's all happy and feeling good after saving the Red Shirt helicopter pilot from exploding. |

Tidus in Final Fantasy X is generally unconcerned about suddenly being yanked out of his world, and eagerly follows Yuna around even after initially being told he can't be one of her guardians. Considering he may have been a Unwitting Pawn, created by the fayth to stop Sin, and based on the poor bastard from Zanarkand who tried and failed to stop the senseless war, his eagerness makes sense. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor didn't just jump at the call, they stole a TARDIS and went looking for it. In terms of the Doctor's companions, this serves as a distinction between the old and the new series. Becoming a companion in the old series is much less voluntary, a moment of what's in that box and sometimes continues under some duress. In the current series, the Doctor seems to pick companions based on this trope. The more reluctant ones (such as Mickey and Rory) have to work a lot harder to be taken seriously. In "Smith and Jones", Martha catches the Doctor's attention by being the first person in the hospital to figure out that the air's being kept in somehow, and being willing to go onto the balcony in order to test that theory despite the danger. Donna Noble, in her second appearance. After kicking herself for not taking the Doctor up on his initial offer, she hounded every event and incident in London that seemed the least bit strange and Doctor-worthy in the hopes that he'd happen to show up and she could tell him that she'd changed her mind and would like to come along after all. Jenny, the Tenth Doctor's daughter/Opposite-Sex Clone from series 4, follows in her Dad's footsteps after recovering from a Disney Death, stealing a spaceship and flying off in search of adventure. As of "The Doctor's Wife", the TARDIS of all things turns out to have jumped at the call as well. She wanted to see the universe, so she left her doors unlocked and stole a Time Lord. Although initially inverted with the original version of Clara Oswald, who was quite hesitant to do anything with the Doctor, whom she thought initially a bit creepy, this trope, combined with In Harm's Way, becomes a defining aspect of the character — and a constant source of concern (and, later, heartbreak) for the Doctor. After initially being accidentally teleported along with the Doctor at the end of "The Woman Who Fell to Earth", upon returning home to Sheffield in "Arachnids in the UK" and getting embroiled in another adventure, at the end of the episode, companions Ryan, Graham and Yaz decide to come travelling with the Doctor completely of their own volition this time, even after she warns them it will be dangerous and change them forever. |

Teen Titans: Beast Boy is a green freak who can shape-shift, and wouldn't have it any other way. Being able to date Raven was probably a plus too. Before he was in the Titans, he was with Doom Patrol, a group entirely based around Blessed with Suck. Most of the Patrollers were adults who had lives and careers they lost when they changed. Gar was changed into a metahuman before preschool and thinks being a shapeshifter is great fun. He's been heroing since before his teens and it's all he knows. The Wolfman-Perez era was very quick to point out he's got some Patrol-level issues under the goofball mask. | |

Subverted in Amazing Fantasy. Izuku wants to do this when Peter Parker offers to teach him how to use his new powers to become Spider-Man. But Izuku ends up asking for more time to think because of his poor self-esteem and worry about whether or not Peter would be able to get home. Then it's played completely straight after All Might's pep talk inspires Izuku to accept, showing clear excitement at learning to become Spider-Man and getting to chase his dream of helping people as a Hero. | |

In Anathema, Violent shrouds do this, as a group. Violent shrouds were talented killers when they were alive and they're tasked with decreasing the human population as much as possible. They usually either try to outclass each other's kill counts, just to see if they can, or use their powers to seek out and kill their old enemies. Either way, they take to their vocation very well. | |

Pokémon: The Series: While it would be considered normal within the context of the involved world, Ash Ketchum jumps at any chance to test his skills as a Pokémon Trainer, visiting whatever lands on his quest to become the Pokémon Master. There are several Pokémon that count for this as well. In Pokémon the Series: XY, Froakie caught himself for Ash. Misty's Psyduck frequently jumps out of its Pokéball when Misty is trying to summon a different Pokémon. The only time this worked in Misty's favor was in The Ninja Poké-showdown where Psyduck used its headache to defeat Team Rocket with its powerful Psychic attacks. Misty hoped this would happen again in The Bridge Bike Gang, but it didn't have a headache as strong as the previous episode. |

So completely inverted in the "Pandemic" episodes of South Park. The boys and Craig experience an end of the world scenario, and then find an ancient prophecy saying that Craig is the chosen one who will save everybody; except Craig's spent the entirety of the two episodes complaining about the whole situation, and stating that he wants nothing to do with any of it. He refuses to explore an ancient ruin in one part, noting that nothing is forcing them to go further in. Subverted when, by walking away from the ancient ruins, Craig inadvertently walks into the episode's villain and steps onto a mystic stone that converts Craig against his wishes into a living laser beam. | |

The Legend of Korra: Avatar Korra, unlike her predecessor Aang, seems to LOVE being the Avatar. This may be justified by the difference in their ages when they each found out they were the Avatar. Aang was twelve, old enough to have his own identity as a person, leaving him to struggle to incorporate this new facet into himself. Korra was four, so it's likely she can't remember a time when she didn't know she was the Avatar. Later deconstructed. Her mentors were so busy training her in how to wield the elements that they separated Korra from her family, and wouldn't let her have a social life. (In the second episode she makes a full-blown escape attempt just to see a sports match, and her interactions with teens her own age make it rather clear she's never had any human friends.) This blows up in everyone's face around the season 1 finale when Korra was able to defeat the conquering tyrant, but not before he manages to sever a majority of her elemental abilities. Without her elemental powers, her status as the Avatar, which she has been training for her entire life, is essentially useless, and that hundreds of people will die because of her failure. She doesn't know who she is outside of the Avatar's current incarnation, and that knowledge nearly kills her. Eventually this is reconstructed. By the end of the series, Korra has managed to gain many friends, and she has managed to become a confident young woman, and she is happy to fulfill her role as the Avatar. Another case is with Kuvira, who after hearing about the plight of the Earth Kingdom after the Red Lotus had killed The Earth Queen had caused the nation to descend into violent chaos. The World Leaders had approached Zaofu to request for Suyin Beifong to offer her aid and stabilize the situation, only for Suyin to refuse even when she was the most qualified person for the job. Kuvira, Bataar Jr., and the entirety of Zaofus' security force decides to go help stabilize the Earth Kingdom on their own; even with Suyin threatening to never allow them back in the city again. |

No Game No Life plays this both ways. First, when NEET siblings Sora and Shiro are asked if they feel they weren't meant to live the life they lived in the world they lived in, they didn't hesitate to say "yes". When they were then flung headfirst into a bizarre world governed by games, they initially reacted with a shocked fear, but this was soon replaced by pure enthusiasm, even wondering why so many heroes in their situation become so obsessed with getting back to their nobody lives in their old world. Their shocked fear might have been more because they were flung into this world at skydiving heights, and told the rules of the world by the god governing it. The first rule of "no one can be murdered" punctuates their softer than expected terminal velocity landing, made funnier by the last rule of "let's all have fun". |

In Dragon Age II, according to the codex, this is true of a Mage Hawke. Part of the reason Bethany was so close to her elder sibling was that she looked up to them with a mixture of envy and awe for being able to so completely embrace their mage identity, while she always viewed their gift as a terrible burden. | |

Dragon Quest: Dragon Quest II: The Prince of Midenhall sets off on a quest to save his kingdom as soon as he finds out that Moonbrooke has been razed to the ground. Even shown jumping from his throne to listen to the Moonbrooke guard in the Japanese manual. Dragon Quest V: The speechless hero either wanders or sneaks off to adventures to save people three times during his childhood, much to his father's worry. Prince Keifer in Dragon Quest VII didn't just jump at the call, he's spent years tracking it down. When he finally finds it, his first battle causes him to burst into enthusiastic laughter. Dragon Quest IX has the Player Character. While most Celestrians are Resigned to the Call and, had they been in the Player Character's position, would have probably stopped bothering since their task had by then been completed. You on the other hand, despite having no one pushing you and no way to get back to the Observatory with the Benevolessence, still continue helping the villagers without hesitation. Also when Celestria talks to you in your sleep, asking you to collect the fyggs, you do so without a second thought. |

Squirrel Girl. Her entire existence revolves around this trope. When she met Iron Man in her first appearance, she was a fourteen-year-old girl who had already created her own costume, her own power set, and her own code name, and she desperately tried to become Iron Man's sidekick. After moving to New York she protected Central Park from muggers. After GLA, er GLX-, now GLC, yes GLI asked her to join their team she quickly agreed, not even bothering to consider asking her parents. What a trooper! | |

The main protagonist from MÄR does not seem to be bothered one bit that he was sucked into a magical world of adventure without his consent. Indeed, he rather enjoys the new life he finds there. When a shopkeeper informs him that the particular ARM he's looking for (Monpierre Blanc, which can send him back home) isn't in her selection and would probably be far too rare and expensive to just buy somewhere, he's relieved; he'd been worried his adventure would end too soon. | |

Angela Spica of The Authority decided as a child that she was going to be a superhero when she grew up. As soon as she designed the technology, she exchanged her blood for nine pints of liquid nanotech, called herself The Engineer, and got right on saving the world (and overthrowing a few sovereign nations that pissed her off). Unique among her teammates, she both chose to be a superhero AND didn't regret the choice the minute the consequences kicked in. Catchphrase: "This is the best job in the world." | |

Several characters in Negima! Magister Negi Magi, unsurprisingly. Haruna stands out, as when the Masquerade is broken for her, she threatens to torture her three best friends for not letting her in on it sooner. It took her half a picosecond to immediately snog Negi when she learned this would give her magic powers. When this failed to work the first time (Chamo didn't have the contracting spell ready), the only reason it took her a little longer to snog him again was because poor Negi was running scared by then and she had to catch him first. |

Eve, because she's spent years chained to a desk, has just been fired by her "dick-swab" boss, Frank, and is fascinated by female serial killers, Villanelle in particular. Bill, because he's Eve's best friend and felt she was fired unfairly, and because Frank fired him too when he tried to defend her. And Elena, because she greatly admires Carolyn and was thrilled to have a chance to work for her. (And also because, like everyone, she hated working for Frank, anyway.) | |

Buffyverse: Faith's far more enthusiastic acceptance of being The Chosen One compared to Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the seventh-season episode "Potential", this trope is turned on its head when Dawn at first jumps at the Call — after all, she's one of the only non-powered people among a bunch of superheroes, and the youngest to boot! - only to find out that the Call wasn't for her after all. Talk about a downer. Then again, in the Season 8 comics, she gets perhaps more than she bargained for. Angel: Zig-zagged with Connor: whether his usual or alternate self, he seems pretty enthusiastic about being a superhuman, but not the accompanying violence and trauma. His arc in the TV series ends with him choosing a normal life. "This whole fighting thing... I'm not really sure it's for me." |

When she discovers that she's half machine, her main concern is more that she wasn't told sooner. When she is barred from a mission after this, she promptly upgrades herself. Miko from Transformers: Prime follows suit - when she spots Arcee trying to convince Jack to meet the other Autobots, she has no idea why he's hesitating and eggs him on. Much to Arcee's exasperation, being spotted means she has to bring Miko along too. |

Great Mazinger: Tetsuya Tsurugi has been a Humongous Mecha pilot most of his life. He devotes himself to his job, loathes the idea of being just normal, and is perfectly fine with having to kill giant monsters. However, he used to be a lonely, little orphan kid who yearned for a father. When Prof. Kabuto told him he would adopt him if he was willing to train to pilot a Humongous Mecha and defeat ancient bio-mechanical monsters from Beneath the Earth, Tetsuya agreed gleefully. Nevertheless, his obsessiveness combined with his abandonment issues, lack of self-confidence and self-worth, and a massively low opinion of himself (that he tried to hide behind a mask of arrogance and pride) led to many troubles and finally a massive breakdown. His partner Jun also jumped at the call, but she managed to get it more together than him. | |

Captain America: Steve Rogers wanted to be a soldier before Pearl Harbor, but was rejected for poor physical health. Didn't stop him from trying to put on weight and heading to a recruitment station, time and time again. Eventually, a General took him aside and told him 'What if we shot you up with drugs and stuck you in the path of radioactive materials?' | |
