** Another recent ''Best Wishes'' prediction in recent episodes was whether or not Meowth was fired from Team Rocket or not. Some fans declared [[Ruined FOREVER]] when he joined Ash and the group. {{spoiler|Recent episode shows that Meowth did a [[Heel Face Mole]]}} which is what the [[Genre Savvy]] audience figured out the minute they got the information that Meowth was fired.

* One of the more awesome, yet unsubstantiated theories about ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' was that Gaume the Steady, the alligatory-armadilloy member of Lord Genome's four Generals is the counterpart to Team Gurren's [[Team Pet]], Boota. Cue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOBG3CCew7Q Parallel Works #8].

* The anime version of visual novel ''[[Koihime Musou]]'' features Ryuubi (Liu Bei) as [[The One Guy]], when the show was supposedly about an [[Improbably-Female Cast]]. But there's also the announcement of ''Shin Koihime Musou'', which features a female Ryuubi. {{spoiler|It turns out to be true and that this Ryuubi is a [[Jerkass]] imposter.}}

* Many new fans of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' by way of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|GX]]'' were sure that Judai/Jaden would duel Yugi on the last episode, which more seasoned fans dismissed as noobish nonsense. Of course, while that's actually what does end up happening, {{spoiler|instead of dueling the present-time Yugi of ''GX'', we're treated to a spastic [[Time Travel]] sequence where Judai duels the Yugi of the past while he still has the spirit of Atem, setting up a [[Stable Time Loop]] to ensure that Yugi would know to give Judai Winged Kuriboh before he enters Duel Academia.}}

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', the mysterious Dark Glass and the amnesiac Bruno are the same person. V-Jump recently confirmed it.

* Following the [[Wham! Episode|literal bomb-dropping]] in ''[[Code Geass]]'', many fans declared Nunnally and Sayoko [[Killed Off for Real]] ([[Lying Creator|and the official website seemed to support them]]). However, one blogger posted a thorough essay explaining why he was convinced they had survived, using screencaps to suggest that there was a second airplane, and that Nunnally's had gotten away earlier while the second was caught in the blast. One month later, a battered Sayoko appears to Jeremiah and explains exactly how it happened.

* In the second season of ''[[Darker Than Black]]'', some fans suggested that {{spoiler|Mao}} was still alive {{spoiler|despite having lost his consciousness at the end of the first series and having April kill his cat body in the first episode}} on the logic that his voice actor was credited in the first episode. {{spoiler|Sure enough, he now inhabits Suo's pet squirrel and his consciousness has returned in that body.}}

* Setsuna's [[Heel Face Turn]] in ''[[Fresh Pretty Cure]]!'' was guessed by the fandom months before it actually happened... yet the same people still got incredibly angry when Toei put blatant spoilers for the event in question up on the side of an arcade game a month before it happened in the show. Note to creators: just because someone called it doesn't mean "give up completely".

** After episode 13 of ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]'', which revealed certain facts about Tsukikage Yuri's backstory, a handful of fans posited that {{spoiler|her [[Disappeared Dad]] was, in fact [[Fake Boss|Professor Sabaaku]].}} Thirty-four episodes later, {{spoiler|Sabaaku's [[Cool Mask]] falls off, revealing...[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Professor Tsukikage.]]}}

* The whole plot of the ''Zelda'' story ''[[Til the Sun Grows Cold|Til the Sun Grows Cold and the Stars Grow Old]]'' (which was written before ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' had even been announced) revolves around the notion that Link and Zelda are the same souls repeatedly reincarnated over several lifetimes. Guess what [[Word of God]] confirmed in late 2011/early 2012?

* ''[[Total Drama Chris]]'' had Chris treating the contestants especially cruelly, far more extreme than he was on the actual show... for the time, at least. A few years later, by the time ''[[Total Drama Island|Total Drama Revenge of the Island]]'' started airing, though, Chris' sinking to such depravity has become completely canon.

* The infamous fan webcomic [[How I Became Yours]] had Katara bloodbend to death Mai in broad daylight. This caused quite an uproar because bloodbending is supposed to be impossible outside a full moon. Come the [[The Legend of Korra]] episode ''[[The Legend of Korra/Recap/S1 E8 When Extremes Meet|When Extremes Meet]]'', and {{spoiler|much to Korra's surprise (and horror), Tarrlock bloodbends her despite there not being a full moon.}}
