The Dutiful Son stays to take care of the farm or other family duties when Troubled, but Cute up and leaves or The Hero gets The Call. His attitude at the protagonist's return (it's rare he gets the spotlight) varies between uppity, jealous, and happy. Even if he's happy, expect him to lay the moral smackdown on the hero for leaving, although he'll eventually forgive the sibling before the work's end. Despite the name, this trope is not Always Male; female examples are less common but still present. Sometimes the Dutiful Son criticizes his sibling for being a dreamer. He probably strongly believes it's his duty to Honor Thy Parent. In a Western, expect the Dutiful Son to be a Determined Homesteader while his younger brother wants to be The Gunslinger. Compare and contrast The Reliable One, Cloudcuckoolander's Minder, Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling. |

Family of the Shield has Naofumi decide to form a family of his own made up from Monsters that he hatches and raises as his own Sons and Daughters. Among them all; Monti Iwatani due to his quiet and reserved personality along with his hard-working nature has Naofumi genuinely see Monti as the sort of son he'd be happy to show off to friends and other people back in Japan. | |

Percy Weasley in the first four books: prefect in his fifth year (Philosopher's Stone), Head Boy in his seventh year (Prisoner of Azkaban), followed by the career his mother Molly approved of in the Ministry of Magic (Goblet of Fire) - but his no-nonsense attitude give him trouble with his family: Molly sang his praises throughout the first four books and seemed depressed when he walked out on the family.; with Arthur, it's more a matter of absentmindedness than outright favoritism, and his siblings do love him but are peeved by his attitude, especially the very chaotic twins. He even has a Face–Heel Turn, but returns home in Deathly Hallows just in time for the last battle. | |

Aberforth Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's a twist on the described trope, though, as Aberforth is younger than Albus and viewed as the Black Sheep by outsiders, but not between the brothers themselves. | |

One subplot in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly involves Tuco chastising his brother for staying home and taking the easy road by becoming a priest, whereas Tuco chose what he felt was the only other profession available to them: a bandit. (Tuco might have gone easier on his brother had the latter not had such a disapproving, condescending attitude to him and his activities.) This scene is more of a reversal of the usual trope: Pablo left home to be a priest, leaving Tuco behind to take care of their parents. Unable to find legitimate work, Tuco became a bandit out of necessity. Or at least, that's his version. |

CSI: NY: Lab Rat Adam Ross is from Arizona and has his father moved from there to a nursing facility in NYC when he develops Alzheimer's. This is in spite of the man having been physically and verbally abusive to him, his older brother, and their mother. Adam once mentioned that his brother had left home because of the abuse and it is heavily implied that he'd never looked back. When Mac asks why he even visits his father, Adam says it's out of a sense of duty and the fact that people are supposed to honor their parents. | |

Cosmic Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes left his economically depressed planet to find work so that he could send money home to support his family when he was fourteen. He only ended up a superhero because he helped save the life of one of the richest men in the galaxy on his way to search for work and was then offered a job as a hero. Originally this takes a tragic turn as his mother dies in a terrorist attack on the new neighborhood brought them to so they could be together again and his little brother dies trying to follow in his footsteps as a hero. | |

Marche's role as this in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance becomes a plot point late in the story combined with Sibling Rivalry and Because You Can Cope. Marche gets into a heated argument with his little brother Doned after Doned tries repeatedly to stop him from changing the world back to normal. Doned makes it clear he has no intention of going back, as he's wheelchair-bound in the real world and has regained the use of his legs in the changed Ivalice. He then accuses Marche of being selfish for not considering this, claiming that Marche "has everything" while he has nothing. Finally, at his breaking point, Marche reveals that he's jealous of Doned for getting all of their mother's attention, while he himself feels forced to quietly concede to Doned's needs and whims while sacrifice his own, eventually believing that their mother loves Doned more. This revelation finally convinces Doned that neither of their lives is perfect and that they need to go home and deal with reality. | |

one day at a time (Nyame): A vigilante family variant. Jason Todd did not want to be Batman but conceded to taking on the mantle and putting his own personal desires on hold after two of the other viable successors (Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain) refused and the last (Damian) was rejected on the basis of being too young. He only planned to be Batman until Damian was old enough, but after Tim and Damian's deaths a mere two years later, those plans had to be nixed so he could also run the family company and, later on, raise his three younger siblings (Helena Wayne, Terry McGinnis and Matthew McGinnis). | |

Supernatural: Dean Winchester obeys his father John without question and berates Sam for questioning his orders. Dean is just as capable of being a dutiful brother and as shown by "What Is and What Should Never Be", tends to idolize Sam. But it was revealed by the shifter in "Skin" that Dean does resent Sam for getting to leave. Dean also manages to combine this with Troubled, but Cute. Michael continues to follow his absent father's orders millennia after God suddenly abandoned his sons and is determined to murder Lucifer not because of his plan to kill all humans, but because he thinks it's what God would have wanted. Dean's relationship with John and Sam mirrors the relationship between Michael, Lucifer, and God. As it is in heaven, so it shall be on earth and all that. |

Jeremy from A Cruel God Reigns endures physical and sexual abuse from his step-father so that his mother can be happy in her new marriage. He even goes to the lengths of begging Greg not to tell Sandra when he threatens to expose them when Jeremy won't do exactly as he asks, as he fears that Sandra will attempt suicide (again.) In fact, if he hadn't done that, Sandra and Greg would not have gotten married in the first place. His role of being this trope is what causes Jeremy's Trauma Conga Line and Deus Angst Machina. | |

Goodbye Volcano High: Naser's parents have high expectations for him while being dismissive towards his older sibling, Fang, who they can't relate to due to Fang's gender transition and pursuit of a music career. Because of this, Naser is the one keeping the peace between his family and handling the home responsibilities like cooking and cleaning, all on top of his Class President duties at school. | |

Stefan from The Vampire Diaries. Part of the reason why Stefan was the favoured child with Giuseppe was that Stefan was a dutiful, responsible, obedient son. | |

The Borgias: Cesare Borgia goes above and beyond. He starts off by helping Daddy Rodrigo become pope, saves his life within the first two episodes, and refuses to leave his side even when the French are invading. All of this in spite of the fact that his father is forcing him to become a cardinal while giving his Too Dumb to Live brother the military position Cesare has always wanted and would most likely excel at. Judging from what we've seen of Season 2 so far he's over the whole dutiful son thing. |

Happy Loman from Death of a Salesman. But since Willy’s parenting screwed his kids up and since Biff is able to recognize this, being dutiful isn’t such a good thing. | |

Alfred in Legends of the Fall always plays by the rules and does everything he can to try and make his father proud, but knows (and resents) that he will never measure up in daddy's esteem to Troubled, but Cute wild child Tristan. Interesting play on the trope as described above in that in the end, Alfred leaves the family farm while Tristan spends more time at home on the ranch. | |

King Edgar, ruler of Figaro, is like this in Final Fantasy VI. After their father is murdered by The Empire, Edgar's twin brother Sabin is so angry and upset that he can't take it anymore and wants to strike out on his own. Edgar tries to remind him of their responsibilities to Figaro, and what would happen to the kingdom if they both left. Sabin doesn't want to leave the kingdom hanging, but his desire for freedom is so overwhelming that it's tearing him apart. Edgar eventually proposes a coin toss, where the winner will go out on his own with no regrets. It turns out that Edgar rigged the coin toss so that Sabin would win either way, but this method allowed him to leave with a clear conscience. | |

Arthur Spooner in The King of Queens is an elderly Manchild on the outer edge of senility who drives daughter Carrie Heffernan to despair with continual unreasonable demands. Carrie, normally a woman who has no patience with idiots, leeches, or timewasters, feels she has no choice other than to take him in after he burns down his uninsured house. This causes frequent tensions with husband Doug, who tries to make his peace with the Basement-Dweller but is frequently exasperated by his father-in-law. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire has a few examples of this: Both Cersei and Tyrion Lannister see themselves like this, with both undergoing much sexism and ableism respectively in order to get where they are and further the Lannisters in hopes of earning their father Tywin's favor. Tywin, however, favours their brother Jaime, who ironically doesn't want to be Tywin's heir. Also ironically, Cersei is an incredibly incompetent ruler, inheriting her father's ruthlessness and contempt for the smallfolk, but without his political skill. Tyrion has his political skill but is despised by his father, and ends up murdering him. Stannis Baratheon considers himself this. This is especially in contrast to his brothers, who are far more charismatic but don't show themselves to be particularly good leaders. His older brother King Robert spent his 15 years as King drinking, eating, and whoring instead of ruling, while his younger brother Renly acts as a Yes-Man in Robert's Small Council, loves showing off, and after Robert's death tries to usurp the crown on flimsy grounds, claiming he'd be a better King despite never doing anything worthwhile, even planning to have Stannis killed. Stannis, though unsocial, has the less glamorous tasks and feels constantly unappreciated, but goes along with them anyway as he considers it his duty. Tragically, it's shown Stannis did love his brothers and wished for their appreciation, yet he is responsible for Renly's death due to Renly's intention to kill him. In contrast to willful Arianne and Flat Character Trystane, Quentyn Martell dutifully sees to his father's plan to the best of his abilities. Tragically due to being Wrong Genre Savvy, this ends up getting him killed by a dragon. Aegon V Targaryen arranged marriages for his five children, but the eldest decided to elope with a lowborn, the following two chose to marry each other, and the one after that just wanted to be with his boyfriend. The left the youngest as the only one who didn't spurn her father's original proposal. That person was Rhaelle Baratheon, the paternal grandmother of Robert, Stannis, and Renly Baratheon. |

Edgar eventually proposes a coin toss, where the winner will go out on his own with no regrets. It turns out that Edgar rigged the coin toss so that Sabin would win either way, but this method allowed him to leave with a clear conscience. Marche's role as this in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance becomes a plot point late in the story combined with Sibling Rivalry and Because You Can Cope. Marche gets into a heated argument with his little brother Doned after Doned tries repeatedly to stop him from changing the world back to normal. Doned makes it clear he has no intention of going back, as he's wheelchair-bound in the real world and has regained the use of his legs in the changed Ivalice. He then accuses Marche of being selfish for not considering this, claiming that Marche "has everything" while he has nothing. Finally, at his breaking point, Marche reveals that he's jealous of Doned for getting all of their mother's attention, while he himself feels forced to quietly concede to Doned's needs and whims while sacrifice his own, eventually believing that their mother loves Doned more. This revelation finally convinces Doned that neither of their lives is perfect and that they need to go home and deal with reality. |

Witz Su from After War Gundam X is supposed to become one of these after his father and younger brother die and leave him to care for his very numerous family (mother, three sisters, one brother). However, Witz runs away from home and becomes a Gundam pilot, something his mom is very upset about, and doubly because she hates mobile suits. He gets to go back home with his girlfriend Toniya, so it's hinted they've made amends. | |

George VI is the Dutiful Son in Bertie and Elizabeth. Interestingly, sympathy is with him rather than with his brother who comes off as rather a Royal Brat. Likewise in The King's Speech. It's clear neither of them wants to be king, but only one of them is willing to sacrifice his personal wishes to do what's expected of him. |

Hunter × Hunter: Illumi, the perfect emotion-impaired first son of an assassin family, is quite baffled by his little brother running away from home and talking nonsense about making friends and not wanting to murder people for money anymore. However, he remains convinced that it's just a phase and Killua will calmly return to the family business eventually. Milluki, Killua's other older brother, fits the other part of this trope. He doesn't understand why his father and grandfather still favor Killua (the unofficial heir, despite being a rebellious middle child) over Illumi and him, and heavily resents his younger brother for this. He eagerly accepts the responsibility of disciplining Killua with chains and whips. Ironically, Milluki himself is a failure of an assassin (essentially a Fat Bastard otaku geek) according to the rest of the family (though he obviously thinks otherwise). |

Yoo Minho of ENIGMA: An Illusion Named Family has done his best to be The Reliable One and hold his family together following their father's death. Unfortunately, he regards most of his siblings as foolish and/or greedy and has been blocking them from receiving any inheritance money in order to keep them bound to their home, fostering resentment. He's also not very sympathetic to Minhyuk's Survivor Guilt, unintentionally compounding it with his demands to prove worthy of their father's Heroic Sacrifice. | |

The Legend of Korra: An interesting case where the youngest sibling Tenzin considers himself this in preserving his father's legacy compared to his free-spirited sister Kya and Cloudcuckoolander brother Bumi. Kya, however, shoots back that she was the one to settle down and take care of their mother when their father died, so Tenzin's idea of himself as "the responsible one" of the three isn't true or fair. Lin Beifong is the dutiful elder daughter who follows in her mother's footsteps to become Chief of Police of Republic City. Her little half-sister Suyin meanwhile gets sent away to her grandparents after participating in a robbery and nearly destroying her mother's reputation, then spends the next decade or so traveling the world with pirates, the circus, etc. as a free spirit before settling down with her future husband to build her own city. Lin is a bit jealous and incredulous that Suyin did everything 'wrong', yet has a seemingly perfect life as an adult; whereas Lin was left by the major love of her life for a younger woman, and is left with the lingering feeling that she never really found what she was passionate about because she spent her whole life attempting in vain to impress her mother by trying to be Toph's carbon copy. This is the backstory for Mako and Bolin's father San. San left his family in Ba Sing Se on bad terms after refusing to take over the family fruit stand from his father, instead choosing to make a new life for himself in Republic City. The responsibility of running the family business then fell to his brother Chow. Tragically, San never got the chance to return home on better terms, as he and his wife were murdered by a firebender in Republic City when Mako and Bolin were little. |

Gamlen paints himself like this in Dragon Age II because he stayed and took care of his and Leandra's elderly parents while Leandra spent years on the run because of her husband's status as an unregistered mage. Of course, this doesn't justify his later cheating her out of her inheritance, or his making deals that force her kids into indentured servitude for a year. | |

Zalanna of Ears for Elves fits this trope very well, and wishes everyone else did too. Sometimes she lectures Tanna about it: "As daughters of the founding families, it is our duty- nay, our birthright to set an example for the common folk." | |

Kojiro Hyuga in Captain Tsubasa does plenty of part-time jobs to support his family, since his father died when he was very young. Part of his motivation is to secure a well-paid professional contract as a soccer player so his mother and siblings can eventually get a house of their own. | |

It's a Wonderful Life is unusual in that the "prodigal" son is actually an Ace Pilot war hero who idolizes his older brother. Largely owing to the fact that said elder brother saved his life when they were kids and made an absolute ton of personal sacrifices that allowed him to become a war hero in the first place. | |

knight of the dreadfort (the ballad of the red king): Mychel Redfort, though he regrets this, as he was the only one able to marry Ysilla after his brother got hitched in a Shotgun Wedding. | |

Love Live! Sunshine!!: In the first eight episodes, Kanan Matsuura isn't attending the start of her third year as she is helping her grandfather run his diver shop, since her father is recovering from a bone fracture. Once he heals up, Kanan returns to school in the ninth episode. | |

Downton Abbey: Inverted. William Mason would very much have preferred to stay on the farm and take care of the horses, but his parents wanted him to get a secure job instead of dealing with hard and risky farm life, so that's what he did. | |
