Character who is so rich and powerful that even their underlings are wealthy. Count Plutocrat's servants have servants, Emperor Evulz's top henchmen have Mordors and Mooks of their own, the list goes on. Note that only examples where this actually seems like an awe-inspiring or at least impressive situation count. For instance, it's no big credit to a general that his "underlings", lower-ranking officers, have their own 'minions' in the form of soldiers. Can be Played for Laughs or serve as an example of strength. Compare Recursive Ammo, Bifurcated Weapon, Meta Mecha. |

Bleach: During the final arc, Yachiru is forced to draw her sword. Isane is baffled by the weapon as it doesn't behave like any Zanpakutou she's ever heard of. Yachiru is eventually revealed to be the manifestation of Zaraki's own Zanpakutou; while most sword spirits will manifest copies of their master's sword (i.e., themselves in sword-form), Yachiru uses a unique sword of her own that bears no resemblance to the weapon Zaraki himself wields. | |

The Defenders (2017): A retroactive case. In Daredevil, Nobu Yoshioka is seen as the main leader of the Hand that Matt is taking on during Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, and leads a considerable number of men. However, The Defenders establishes that Nobu was just a subordinate to Murakami, one of the Fingers, and ran Murakami's New York operations in his steed. Played for Laughs when Jessica Jones, trying to search the public archives for a business named on some shipping records she got at a crime scene, finds that this business is just a shell company that is nested within another shell company, and this list of shell companies dates all the way back to 1820, with her unable to find out what this company is or what they do. It's all one giant front for the Hand. The Hand as a whole work this way. There are five Fingers who are the heads of the organization, and each of them has their own crew of lieutenants who give orders to underlings. |

In Crusader Kings it's not uncommon for vassals to have their own vassals, especially with Christian kings or emperors as they can't directly control church or city holdings and can accumulate a lot of territory over the generations (while Pagans and Muslims tend to be caught in a cycle of dividing lands among their sons followed by fratricidal wars). | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Reinforce Zwei is a Unison Device who has her own Storage Device, The Book of the Azure Sky. At the end of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, Agito joins the Yagami "family", although unlike all other members, she pledges loyalty not to Hayate, but to Signum (who, in turn, has pledged her life to Hayate). At the end of the same season, four Numbers choose to be imprisoned rather than renounce their creator Jail Scaglietti, although only three of them do so out of loyalty to him. The last one, Sette, rejects Scaglietti but chooses to remain with Tre, one of the three loyal sisters. |

Rick and Morty has the episode "The Ricks must be Crazy." Rick reveals that his car is powered by a Microverse battery, which works by having the sentient beings living in the Microverse unknowingly creating the electricity to power his car via an exercise device he gave them. When Morty says that Rick has enslaved the Microverse, Rick says they're not slaves because they created a complex society, but when Morty says it's "just slavery with extra steps," Rick just blows him off. Inside the Microverse they meet Zeep, a researcher that created a Miniverse battery to power his world, which works by having the sentient inhabitants of the Miniverse unknowingly create the electricity to power his planet via an exercise device, thus rendering Rick's device obsolete. When Rick says that he enslaved an entire planet, Zeep says they're not slaves because they created a complex society, but when Rick says "that's slavery with extra steps," Zeep ignores him. In the Miniverse, they meet a scientist named Kyle who created a Teenyverse, and is awaiting for a sentient species to evolve so he can give them an exercise device so they can unknowingly create the power necessary to light his world, thus rendering Zeep's devise obsolete. When Zeep tries to explain that he wants to enslave the Teenyverse, Kyle says they won't be slaves because they'll live in a complex society. However, after a quick deduction, Zeep attacks Rick when realizes how and why they ended up in there, and when he hears them fight, Kyle realizes why he was born, and crashes his ship, stranding Rick, Morty, and Zeep in the Teenyverse. | |

A major element in INSIDE (2016) are human bodies controlled by whoever's wearing a special helmet. Several puzzles rely on those bodies themselves putting a helmet on and controlling other bodies. This foreshadows what's hinted by the secret ending: that the player character is the Remote Body of some unknown entity. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's Big Bad, Demise has a sword so deadly, that it can summon its own swords to fight you with. He accomplished this by enchanting it to take a mortal form as Ghirahim, a recurring boss. Played for Horror in the saga of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Ganondorf, the Big Bad of the latter game, can spawn offshoots of himself that can act independently. Normally these take the form of Phantom Ganons, but one of these offshoots is Calamity Ganon, the Big Bad of the former game. Calamity Ganon itself is so powerful that its presence can spawn offshoots of its own: the Blight Ganons. |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, it's revealed that some Flesh Eater Blades can bond with and use Blades of their own just like a mortal Driver can. Most of Torna's Drivers (read: all of them except Malos and Mikhail) are Flesh Eaters with this ability, though Jin doesn't use it presumably for moral reasons. Malos can also use Blades despite not being a Flesh Eater, but that's probably just one of the perks of being an Aegis. | |

Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk has a large number of shell and dummy companies that he uses to move his illegal money around. In season 1, Confederated Global Investments is Fisk's official main source of revenue in FCC filings. When trying to trace a check supplied by James Wesley on behalf of Confed Global, Karen is only able to determine from business records that it's "a subsidiary of a holding company of a loanout to a holding subsidiary and on and on and on." Wilson Fisk runs the rest of his empire this way, at least until he becomes a public figure, with the majority of his men answering to James Wesley, who in turns answers to Fisk. This makes Matt's efforts to take down Fisk that much more complicated, because it's a matter of finding someone who is willing to testify to Fisk giving them a direct order. That comes in the form of Detective Hoffman, who is able to implicate Fisk in ordering him to kill his partner Detective Blake because the order came straight from Fisk, rather than from Wesley. In season 3, Karen determines that Fisk secretly owns the Presidential Hotel that he tricked the FBI into putting him up in. She concludes this because it's owned by a shell company called Vancorp (obviously named after Vanessa), which is owned by another shell company...that's in turn owned by yet another one. And all of these shell companies have charters to do business in the United States that were filed by Donovan & Partners, Fisk's legal team. |

Tehol tries to divert attention away from himself by saying the dredging rights are already owned by a merchant named Biri, but Shand points out that Tehol in turn owns Biri, so would he kindly stop playing a beggar, please? | |

Aladdin: When Jasmine recognizes "Prince Ali" as the boy she met at the marketplace, Aladdin claims that it couldn't have been him because he has servants to do his shopping for him, and that those servants have servants of their own to shop for them as well. | |

In Prince Roger, D'nal Cord owes Roger his life, and later acquires a life-debt of his own when he saves Pedi Caruse from pirates. Prince Roger has a good laugh at the latter, noting that D'nal's Oh, Crap! reaction when he realizes Pedi's culture has life-debts exactly mirrored his own after he saved D'nal. | |

True Blood: Vampire progenies, while still bound to their maker, are allowed to become makers themselves to new progenies, although the new progeny is not bound to their maker's maker. As is the case when Pam, while still bound to Eric, ends up turning Sookie's friend Tara. Meaning that Tara is not bound to Eric, nor for that matter is Jessica bound to Bill's maker Lorena. | |

Is This A Zombie?: Seraphim offered to be Eucliwood's servant so she could kill her, but Eucliwood already had Ayumu and wasn't interested in having two servants. So she became Ayumu's servant. In reality, this is just an excuse to stay around and complete her mission and she treats Ayumu like a servant rather than the other way around. | |

In Hc Svnt Dracones an in-universe conspiracy theory claims that MarsCo secretly owns the other six Mega Corps. It is publicly known that ASR, Pulse, and TTI were originally MarsCo branches, but IRPF and Spyglass may have arose independently and Progenitus was a Spyglass division. In the novel Fate's Fangs the corptown of Sacroden is owned by the Reveidolon corporation, which is said to be a subsidiary of a subsidiary of a subsidiary of Progenitus. |
