Line 92:
*** ''All Stars DX 3'' ups the number to 21 from 6 continuities and the brand-new New Stage brings it to a grand total of 28 from 7. It overlaps with [[Remember the New Guy?]] as a lot of Cures that show up in one movie weren't in the movie before that.
* Eiichiro Oda re-used Ryuuma, a character from his one-shot manga ''Monsters'', as a (zombified) villain in ''[[One Piece]]'' and his home country was mentioned to be part of the New World (the second half of the Grand Line). He later confirmed that ''Monsters'' was incorporated into the backstory of the setting.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' reveals that all of Ken Akamatsu's major works exist in the same universe. The ties between Negima and ''[[Love Hina]]'' are obvious with Setsuna being a Shinmeiryuu swordswoman, which is lead by the Aoyama family from ''Love Hina''; the reference to ''[[A.I. Love You]]'' is found in a single panel, although it's kinda important, as {{spoiler|the protagonist of that series is implied to have written the code that enables [[Robot Girl|Chachamaru]] to have a soul.}} (And of course, ''[[UQ Holder!]]'' is explicitly a sequel to ''Negima''.
* Before he gave the world ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', [[Akira Toriyama]]'s first popular series was a comedy called ''[[Doctor Slump]]'', about a robot girl and the slob scientist who created her causing havoc in a weird place called Penguin Village. About a year into ''Dragon Ball'', Toriyama had Goku visit Penguin Village and meet most of the ''Slump'' cast, thus joining the two series into one universe.
** This was mostly done as an attempt to use ''Dr. Slump'''s popularity to help increase readership of ''Dragon Ball'', as it wasn't the huge hit it would eventually become yet. In contrast, the crossover has had the opposite effect in later years: many fans, especially outside of Japan, only know the ''Dr. Slump'' cast because of their guest spot on ''Dragon Ball''.
