Continuity Nod/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Macekre|Carl Macek]] had to ''invent'' several of these when he made the multifarious ''[[Robotech]]''. For example, Yellow Dancer is a singer who emulates Minmei.

** During the flashbacks that Jin Himuro had of back when he was a pro had a list of names which were actually taken from the manga of [[Fan Nickname|the Season Zero arc]]. In an easier example, the name of Yusei's new inmate roommate before he was due to fight Akutsu is Shugo Aoyama, the name of the [[Mary Sue|Gary Stu]] that the First ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' movie revolved around. ([[No Export for You|You know, the one that was never released outside Japan?]]) And of course, Tetsu Ushio, the first baddie to taste the sadistic Penalty Game in the manga [[Ascended Extra|is now one of the core secondary characters in 5Ds]].

* Several aspects of [[Sailor Moon|Usagi]] and [[Replacement Love Interest|Seiya]]'s meetings in ''Sailor Stars'' mirror Usagi and Mamoru's meetings in the first season of the series, culminating in Usagi confusing Seiya dressed in black and red for Tuxedo Mask, who wears a black and red outfit. (Seiya went as far as to throw a red rose to distract the enemy.)

** In Rush Valley, you also see automail stalls with photographs of their previous customers, like the man who hijacked the train in the first volume or the army guy in one of the spin-off games.

** After Father Cornello's assistant [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlives his usefulness]], Lust lets Gluttony eat him. Later in the manga/second anime {{spoiler|Ed and Ling}} end up inside of his stomach and you can see a skeleton wearing some ''familiar'' garments.

** There is a literal [[Incredibly Lame Pun|walking]] Continuity Nod that appears in ''SDF Macross'', ''Macross 7'' AND ''Macross Frontier'': the [[Humongous Mecha|König Monster Destroid]].

* In ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'', Tai uses a set of cards to open a gate to earth while leaving out Agumon's card. In the followup series ''[[Digimon Adventure 02|Adventure 02]]'', Mr. Owikawa uses the same cards but leaves out the Gomamon card while including the Agumon card, sending him somewhere else entirely.

* Quite often do characters in ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' make references to events that happened in the past, even if said events happened in another region. For example, when Byron learns that Platinum collected six badges in twenty days, he mentions that he heard of a trainer in Hoenn who collected eight badges in eighty days (ie, Sapphire).

** At the start of the Platinum arc, when Platina meets up with Looker, one of the first things she asks is if he's supposed to get a free bike ride around Sandgem Park and if he's really a comedian, referencing the mix-up that occurred at the start of the Diamond and Pearl arc.
