** The ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' dub's [["Previously On..."]] segments referred to Arukenimon by name several episodes before her name was used in the actual episodes, also revealing that she was in fact a Digimon and not a human. The heroes also use her name for a bit before they even met her in person when she ''told'' them her name.
** In ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', when Leomon dies, he tells Jeri that maybe his death was his "destiny". This leads Juri to become traumatized (and somewhat obsessed, after the D-Reaper thing) by the word "destiny". In the dub, Leomon's last line is telling Jeri that she has a lion's heart. Since most of the later episodes were written by different people, Jeri still mentions multiple times "when Leomon told me about how that was his destiny", even though it also repeatedly flashes back to the scene and replays the "lion's heart" quote unmodified. Unless you assume that took place offscreen (which is a pretty cheap way to introduce a plot point), the whole thing was kinda messy.
** The dub also paved the way to break some future [[Theme Naming]], though they couldn't necessarily have seen it coming at the time. Omegamon, the Jogressed partner of Tai and Matt, was dubbed as "Omnimon" in the second ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' film. A couple of years later, Alphamon was introduced (as in "[[God|the alpha and the omega]]"), and both he and Omegamon were added to the Royal Knights group. They appeared together in ''[[Digimon World Dawn
* The ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime has [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/kanto/ep005.html Brock(/Takeshi)'s mother running away], which was actually edited ''up'' to her death (as 4Kids felt that Brock having both of his parents abandon him was too sad). Since [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/chronicles/ep005.html the episode she appears in] happens ''much'' later in the show (and because 4Kids thought [[Never Say "Die"|the concept of death was worse]] than being away for a while), it was pretty much ignored.
** Let's not forget [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP035 Ash's 30 Tauros that apparently came out of nowhere!].
