The Hero decides to leave the business. Perhaps the thrill is gone. Perhaps he wants to settle down and marry more than he wants to adventure. Perhaps he knows that age or injury has slowed him down too much; he can not do the job anymore. But the job has to be done. It's time to pick a successor. The Hero, therefore, formally hands the work over to someone else who can do the job. Perhaps a sidekick promotion or a former apprentice. A Legacy Character may involve this. Usually, the immediate problem is gone, and the hero is leaving on a high note, but both he and his successor are aware that the problem or that type of problem will happen again; he has not fixed the world. Therefore, the Master-Apprentice Chain is about to take effect. If the hero wants to leave, this can form a Happy Ending. The less he wants it, the more a Bittersweet Ending it is. Differs from Take Up My Sword in that the hero is still around and may be up to the role of Old Master. If the hero dies very quickly afterward, it can overlap with Take Up My Sword. However, it usually happens in the beginning or middle of a story; Passing The Torch is usually an Ending Trope. The only time it can happen at the beginning is if he were the hero in the backstory (or prior installment) and in the main story is already the Mentor Archetype. May be physically embodied in an object that the retiring hero gives the new one. The inversion of 10-Minute Retirement and He's Back!. A Sub-Trope to Changing of the Guard, where the role of main character changes for any reason or by any procedure. Passing the Torch requires either the Hero to be part of the succession planning and/or handing off the office either personally or by explicit proxy. See also Spinoff Sendoff‎, a way of "passing the baton" from one series to another. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has a subplot about the ghost of a previous hero appearing before Link to pass down his sword arts so that he can ease his regrets about not passing them down in life. Hyrule Historia reveals that the ghost in question is the Hero of Time, the Link who appeared in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. | |

The One Ring: This is a Role-Playing Endgame option for a player character who wants to settle down or has simply racked up too many permanent Shadow Points to be reliable. If they retire voluntarily, the player's next character starts with a hefty XP boost, as they're assumed to be the veteran's protégé. | |

Yoshiaki Fujiwara to Masakatsu Funaki and Minoru Suzuki, whom he deemed his top students in professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. Suzuki also has strong allusions to Karl Gotch. Masakatsu Funaki would go on to pass it to Yuki Kondo, which sadly ended up not going too far in retrospect. | |

Invoked in the epilogue of Angel/The Hunger Games fic "Demon's Games"; after Angel has been elected the new President of Panem after defeating the Senior Partners, over a year later various characters are all aware that Peeta's role as Angel's secretary is basically Angel training him to take on the role afterwards, as Angel has reinstated term limits so he won't be Panem's eternal president but wants someone he can trust to carry on after he steps down. | |

Eddie Guerrero had such a moment with Low Ki, insisting that Low Ki beat him clean at Impact Championship Wrestling. Low Ki wouldn't quite go to Eddie's level of super stardom, he's never been a Black Tiger or anything, but he has become well established in some of the same venues as Eddie, such as New Japan Pro-Wrestling. | |

And David replies "Big Bird, I am going to take care of the store. Mr. Hooper left it to me. I will make you your birdseed milkshakes, and we will tell you stories and see you are okay." Same thing happened in 1989 when David left to live with his grandmother in a farm in Florida in 1989 after Northern Calloway's health issues (He died in 1990), And David gave the store to the retired firefighter, Mr. Handford. In 1998, Mr. Handford quietly passed the torch to Alan and became the new owner of Hooper's Store. |

The Galaxy Angel II trilogy has this trope happening in some form on each one of the installments. In Zettai Ryouiki no Tobira, Tact Mayers, the protagonist of the original Galaxy Angel trilogy gives Kazuya Shiranami a telepathic fur that he can use to read the Rune Angels emotions, entrusting him with caring for them just like Tact did to the Moon Angels in his time. In Mugen Kairo no Kagi, Tact is transferred out of the Luxiole to become Chief of the UPW organization, and his position as the ship's commander is given to Coco Nutmilk, his chief operator. Tact actually gives Coco a holographic message with his thought patterns to cheer her up when she's feeling unsure of being able to lead the ship as effectively as Tact, and she manages to embrace her role. Eigou Kaiki no Toki has the biggest one: in order to save Planet Val-Rundal from a black hole, Tact and the Moon Angel Wing end up having to sacrifice the Elsior and their Emblem Frames, thus officially passing the torch to their successors in the Luxiole and the Rune Angel Wing. |

Eugene Greenhilt in The Order of the Stick, passes on the quest to kill Xykon to his son Roy when he gets too old to carry it out. He has an ulterior motive though; Eugene swore a Blood Oath to kill Xykon, so he can't move onto the afterlife until the lich is dead. It's subverted in that the prequel On The Origin of PCs shows Eugene doesn't think Roy can do it. He just told Roy about the oath so Roy can tell his little sister (who took up wizardry) and have her do it. Bonus content in print collections show that even now he just hopes the best Roy can do is find some useful intel on Xykon. |

Batman Beyond: Terry McGinnis takes up the mantle of Batman some years after aging had forced Bruce Wayne to retire. It's downplayed in that Bruce isn't completely gone from the scene, acting the role of Mission Control. When Barbara Gordon (former Batgirl, now commissioner) returns to the Batcave to warn Batman, she isn't sure which of them she should be speaking to. | |

A Moon and World Apart: As first revealed in chapter 20, and elaborated on later, Luna is planning on giving up her Roles as Lady of Night and Dreams in the near future, having made special arrangements with Trojan, the Lord of Nightmares, to take the lesser position of Adjunct to Dreams and Nightmares. And she wants Celestia to do the same thing, stepping down as Lady of Day and accompanying her in becoming an Adjunct of Dreams and Nightmares before they leave Equuis's solar system together with her people. | |

Dragoon states that he arched him back in the 1960's in his heyday. Of course he has retained all his powers but is still a weak old man. | |

In Mass Effect, David Anderson is revealed to have been a candidate for the position of first human Spectre, but because of Saren's hatred of humanity, he intentionally sabotaged the mission that was meant to prove Anderson's worth. Twenty years later, Anderson's protege, Commander Shepard, picks up where their mentor left off; being made a Spectre in order to track Saren down after he publicly went rogue and began attacking human colonies. Saren and Anderson's history is first mentioned by the latter as he hands command of The Normandy to Shepard, solidifying the change of guard. | |

It's later revealed that North was just an actor in a series who became deluded when his show was canceled. | |

Towards the climax of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, key characters from the Kiryu saga make appearances, and lend their support to new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga. This includes Kiryu himself. This is somewhat subverted after beating the superboss, where Kiryu (who orchestrated the fight between Ichiban and Shin Amon) states that rather than the successor of his legacy, Ichiban should be seen as his own man walking his own path. The Penultimate Chapter is even titled "Passing The Torch" since it involves Kiryu challenging Ichiban and his crew to a fight as his way of testing their worthiness. | |

Acquisitions Incorporated: After being the game's Dungeon Master for 11 years, Chris Perkins handed the reigns over to Jeremy Crawford, a fellow WotC producer and Perkins' own DM. The change happened on-camera in the special episode "The Old Switcheroo" (coinciding with the party falling through a portal to Ravnica) just before the PAX Unplugged 2018 live show. Perkins' decision to step down was, according to Crawford, motivated by his heavy workload at WotC, the necessary travel schedule, and the "intense anxiety" of running the live games at PAX. | |

Cinders and Ashes: the Chronicles of Kamen Rider Dante subverts the trope. Hoshi intends on passing the torch to several people, though either they reject him or a fight ensues that forces him into the fray. After the first arc, though, Hoshi begins to actively defy this trope, citing how no one would be able to go through the battles he endured and the deaths he witnessed. | |

King's Quest: King's Quest III: Subverted in the ending (and the beginning of King's Quest IV). Graham, swept up in the joy of being reunited with both his children, takes off his trusty adventurer's cap and tosses it at them, with the idea that the one who catches it will take up adventuring. He ends up having a heart attack as it's in mid-air. The cap falls to the floor, and neither child picks it up. It does, however, lead into Rosella setting off to save her dad, and putting the hat back on him on her triumphant return, saying her dad's still got a few more adventures in him. She turns out to be right. Kings Quest (2015) ends like this too, except Graham's death from old age is final this time — no magic fruit, no last-minute save, and it's his grand-daughter Gwen who is taking up his cap. |

This is an important mechanic in the World Neverland series. Your character will eventually get old and die, so you'll need to pass on to one of their children. If you pass on to one of your children, that child will inherit all of your items and money, but not all of your stats, and will be able to do certain things you yourself couldn't. | |

Lou Thesz wanted to pass the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship belt to Rikidozan, but as the champion, who he defends it against and where were decided by the collective votes of the NWA members and Rikidozan was based in Japan, which only has one, this obviously did not happen. So Thesz decided to pass the World Heavyweight Title to his student, Dick Hutton, and created the NWA International Heavyweight Title for the purpose of losing it to Rikidozan, who was forever grateful. Rikidozan went on to become quite possibly the biggest star pro wrestling has ever seen, but Hutton was deemed a weak draw with no charisma by the NWA and replaced with Pat O'Connor, who ran into legal troubles and was succeeded by Buddy Rogers, who pissed off so many promoters they asked Thesz to come back, which Thesz did. | |

In the Red Panda Adventures, after coming back from fighting behind enemy lines in Europe, the Red Panda starts operating with an eye towards retirement once the World War II is over and things have settled down. Kit notes he's looking at the Danger Federation, a collection of rookie superheroes, and Mr. Amazing, one of its more powerful members, as retirement plans. However the DF is spread out across Canada and Mr. Amazing doesn't survive the war. A successor is eventually found in the form of the Black Eagle, whose secret identity is someone who has been in the Red Panda's circle since he was a little boy. | |

The Legend of Spyro fanfic Passing the Torch has this as its basic plot. An elderly Spyro meets with the next Purple Dragon, Asuka, when she turns twelve years old. He then informs her of what she really is and what is expected of her, helping her accept the responsibility that comes with it. It turns out waiting to do this was the only thing keeping him alive, and he finally lets his body give out and die now that he's passed his role on. | |

The Batman: In the Season 4 episode "Artifacts", Nightwing (an older, future Robin) assists an older, Dark Knight Returns-esque Batman in battle against Mr. Freeze. When it becomes clear that Batman isn't as efficient as he used to be; Nightwing suggests maybe it's time to pass the torch. Batman however, being the stubborn bastard he is, replies that he would pass the torch when "the mission" (i.e. to ensure Gotham's protection) is over, to which Nightwing dryly notes will never happen. | |

Several examples in the Assassin's Creed games. In the second game, Giovanni Auditore da Firenze is arrested on trumped up charges of treason (naturally, the Templars are behind this). When his son Ezio visits him in jail, Giovanni tells Ezio about a secret room behind the fireplace and the chest there. In the chest, Ezio finds his father's assassin robes and weapons. Unfortunately, he lacks the necessary training to save his father and brothers from execution. In the third game, Achilles Davenport is an old man living out the rest of his days in his homestead having failed to keep the Templars out of the New World. Along comes a half-Mohawk boy seeking to save his people and avenge his mother's death. Downplayed in that it takes many years of training before Achilles deems Connor ready to put on the robes of the first New World Assassin, which were passed down to Achilles himself. Oh, and that moment is when Connor finds Achilles's body in his house, having finally succumbed to old age. At the end of Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Ezio strips off his Assassin gear and uses an Apple to communicate with his descendant Desmond, effectively passing him the torch. | |

In Wildermyth, heroes age visibly in the multi-year periods of peace between chapters, and while they'll see through the current chapter once they hit their retirement age, they withdraw from battle permanently afterwards. The party's name and legacy, and the responsibility of permanently resolving the campaign, is handed down to younger heroes recruited along the way - potentially including the retiring hero's child(ren). A three-chapter campaign isn't quite long enough for your original characters to bow out before the ending, but longer campaigns will be finished by the second or possibly even third generation of heroes. | |

Gravity Falls (the image provider): In the Grand Finale, Soos overhears Stan and Ford discussing their plan to shut down the Mystery Shack so they go on the adventures they yearned to go on since childhood, and is deeply upset by this. He then gives a Rousing Speech so inspiring to Stan that it gives him the idea to give Soos the job as the new manager. In fact, this was actually foreshadowed back in Season 1's "Little Dipper". | |

This is the standard operating procedure for The Muppets, both on projects relating to Sesame Street and The Muppet Show; when a Muppet performer begins to retire or decline in health, they will geneally begin the process of handpicking their successor and allow them to ease into their characters. Frank Oz picked Eric Jacobson to succeed him in most of his roles, while Caroll Spinney and Jerry Nelson similarly picked Matt Vogel to take on most of their famous characters (in the case of Vogel, he would physically perform characters like Big Bird and the Count, while Spinney and Nelson recorded their voices in post, taking over the roles completely after their passings). | |
