* Light Yagami of ''[[Death Note]]'', master of the [[Gambit Roulette]], repeatedly uses this phrase to let Ryuk know that what appears to be an outmaneuvering actually falls in line with his long-term goals. Including the ''very'' memetic moment of him winning the [[Gambit Roulette]] [[Memory Gambit]].
** Light also thinks a phrase very close to this one [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825181155/http://www.mangaeden.com/en-manga/death-note/102/6/ during the final showdown], after {{spoiler|Near explains his plan to prove that Light is Kira. Of course, things [[Out-Gambitted|don't go according to plan]] for him...}} There aren't any spoilers on the page linked to above, but no promises if you look at any of the other pages in that chapter.
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', [[Manipulative Bastard|Gendo Ikari]] (along with his right-hand man, Fuyutsuki) and the members of [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness|SEELE]] were fond of saying things were going "all according to the scenario." Should be noted that they were ultimately pulling for different scenarios, but no matter what, whatever happened was ''always'' according to the scenario, or at the very least irrelevant to it.
** Their differing scenarios were only divergent at the end, so it makes sense. At the point where something went according to Gendo's scenario that was NOT according to SEELE's scenario, {{spoiler|SEELE sent in the JSSDF to kill every single last person at NERV HQ}}.
