Line 35:
*** An island with Samurai has been confirmed, ninjas are a good bet
* One episode of ''[[Flint the Time Detective]]'' had the characters going back to meet [[Hans Christian Andersen]]. Due to magic, all his characters (well, at least the non-nightmarish ones) came out of their stories and interacted with the protagonists...[[Mind Screw|which made things kinda confusing.]]
* So far, the [[The Verse|Naritaverse]] (which includes ''[[Baccano!]]'', ''[[Durarara!!]]'', ''Vamp'', and ''Etsusa Bridge'') has included or confirmed the existence of [[Alchemy Is Magic|alchemy]], [[Our Homunculi Are Different|homunculi]], [[The Fair Folk]] ([[Headless Horseman|dullahans, specifically]]), [[Our Demons Are Different|demons]], [[Talking Weapon|Talking Weapons]], [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]], [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werewolves]], inexplicably superpowered humans (read: [[Super Strength|Shizuo]] [[Nigh Invulnerability|Heiwajima]]), [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] (both [[Humanoid Abomination|humanoid]] and decidedly un-humanoid. Cthulhu himself hasn't made any appearences, but there's a sentient black hole named Hawking somewhere out in space, and an [[Expy]] of Nyarlathotep is hanging out in [[The Mafia|the Camorra]]), and possibly [[Valkyries]] (supposedly, {{spoiler|dullahans}} are fallen ones).
* ''[[Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?]]'' has the protaganist, who is a zombie thanks to a necromancer he met. Later he meets a [[Magical Girl]] fighting monsters and accidentally takes her power, allowing him to be a Magical Girl himself. Then there are the feuding [[Our Vampires Are Different|Vampire]] [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|ninjas]]...
* ''[[Gantz]]''. Oku seems to include everything that comes to his mind in the series.
Line 272:
'''Brock:''' Hank, nobody ever said pirates don't exist.
'''Hank''': So you agree with me that this is impossible! }}
* Practically every children's adventure cartoon with a modern Earth setting and fantastic elements that ''does not'' use a [[Meta Origin]] (i.e. ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' = "everything's caused by ghosts" or ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' = "everything's caused by magical creatures") will use a Fantasy Kitchen Sink approach, with the heroes encountering all sorts of things: aliens, robots, vampires, ninjas, and [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|alien robot vampire ninjas]]. See ''[[Jonny Quest]]'', ''[[Kim Possible]]'', ''[[Ben 10]]'', etc.
** However, ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' [[Doing in the Wizard|establishes]] the [[Meta Origin]] of all being aliens. Except the magic, which is simply quantified as being a type of science involving manipulatable energy which some species are better suited to than others... but humans can still use it without alien blood.
* ''[[Thundercats]]'' was made of this trope. It starts out with one feline humanoid alien race being chased by other mutant alien races after their planet's gyroscope blew up, introduced a [[The Obi-Wan|ghost mentor]]... They all crashland on a planet called Third Earth, inhabited by android robot bears, an evil mummy that transforms into an evil flying supermummy with the help of [[Eldritch Abomination|ancient demonic spirits]], with an enemy of the week that is either a Nazi starship captain (Shiner), cybernetic killer pirates (Hammerhand), a sort of yeti king who rides a giant snowcat (Snowman), a timetravelling samurai (Hachiman) or an egyptian prince with a magic mindcontrol helmet who was trapped by the sphinx in an alternate dimension... And merchandising on steroids: the Thundertank, Cat's Lair, and various other massive metal machines. Oh, there was a female space cop as well. And hydras. And Grune the Destroyer appears to be an undead villain from the dawn of time. And volcano gods. And amazonian girl-ninjas of the treetops. And unicorns. And the Dobermen (aargh, aargh). And [[Death by Origin Story|dead parents]], telepathy and [[An Aesop|addiction]]. The entire thing was written on crack.
