Editing Ascended Fanon (section)

==  Anime and Manga ==
* The author of ''[[One Piece]]'' has a question and answer column, but half of the time when someone asks about a fact he'll agree with any reasonable guess the writer makes (for instance several of the main characters' birthdays).
{{quote|'''Fan''': "Chopper's birthday should be December 24th."
'''Odacchi''': "Okay." }}
** At one point, a fan noted that one of the villians of the show, Rob Lucci, had a name that that could be interpreted as "To rob the light" based on the (inaccurate) fact that Lucci is the Italian word for light. Oda's response was to the general effect of:
{{quote|"You know me. I'm the guy who comes up with the deep meaningful names. Yep. In fact, "Rob Lucci" even means "steal the light," or SO I HEAR (had no idea)." }}
* The authors of ''[[Kinnikuman]]'' routinely adapted fan suggested characters into the story, both minor and major.
** Same goes for [[Kongoh Bancho]], where several fan-characters have gone on to become both minor and major antagonists.
* During the first season, fans of ''[[Code Geass]]'' joked that Lelouch's maid Sayoko was secretly a [[Ninja Maid|ninja]], explaining the occasional flashes of competence seen behind her quiet exterior. Between seasons the staff acknowledged the joke, and in ''R2'' it's revealed that she is in fact the heiress to the Shinozaki ninja clan.
** Denied by herself, though. She's an "SP". Which is to say, while she practices ninja martial arts, from assuming the identity of other people, and using throwing knives with deadly accuracy... She doesn't assassinate people or spy on anyone, she's just Lelouch and Nunnally's bodyguard. Or as the Japanese say, an SP or Security Police.
** Somebody made a gag comic in which the Emperor delivers a speech about breasts.<ref>A parody rewrite of his funeral speech for Clovis from episode 4</ref> [[Norio Wakamoto]], the Emperor's voice actor, made a [[Gag Dub]] of said speech word for word.
* The author of ''[[Saiyuki]]'', previous to the [[Animated Adaptation]], wrote down in [[Stepford Smiler|Cho]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|Hakkai's]] character profile "voiced by [[Akira Ishida]]" as a joke, not expecting to be taken seriously, and was pleasantly surprised that her casting suggestion was accepted.
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' fanfiction has given Vegeta enough [[Sailor Earth|long-lost siblings]] to populate a galaxy (and then some). The 2008 special went ahead and ran with that premise.
* The [[Action Prologue|opening scene]] of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' was what the last story arc was originally planned to be like, but re-writes ended up making it [[Mind Screw|a total mystery]]. When the staff was asked the fan-theory that the opening was an [[Alternate Continuity]] where {{spoiler|Simon ignores the Anti-Spiral's plea to stop overusing spiral power and the scene is right before he causes [[The End of the World as We Know It|the Spiral Nemesis]]}} this was reportedly their response.
* In ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', fans mentioned to the writer Chiaki J. Konaka, that clearly the character of Alice was a ghost. Konaka ''originally didn't intend this when he wrote it'' but when he looked back; admits that's a very possible theory on his webpage.
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'': "Hibird" was the fan nickname for Hibari's unnamed pet bird. Upon hearing this, Akira Amano just made it canon, finding the nickname cute.
