** Chapter 467 was full of I Knew Its for many tropers. This chapter reveals that: {{spoiler|there is a ten-tailed bijuu, there is a combined form of all the bijuus (which happens to be the Ten-Tails), the moon ''does'' have something that the Sage of the Sixth Paths sealed in it, and Madara is going to use Tsukuyomi on the moon to cast a massive scale genjutsu on the world}}.

** Chapter 559 had another I Knew It! moment. Many people have theorized that {{spoiler|Tobi isn't actually Madara, and was merely using his identity.}} This chapter revealed that {{spoiler|Uchiha Madara has been long dead and is one of the ninjas revived by Kabuto's Impure World Resurrection, which seems to confirm that Tobi isn't who he claims he is.}}

* Just prior to the pre-release of [[Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering's]] ''Zendikar'' set, a game shop owner reported opening a valuable old card from a previous set in a Zendikar booster pack. His claims were largely dismissed by most players, but by the time the pre-released rolled around, other people began reporting similar findings. The idea that Wizards of the Coast would put an out-of-print card in every several hundred booster packs seemed outlandish at the time, but Wizards has been known for pulling outlandish stunts in the past as well; this one was just their most well-kept secret to date.

* In another [[Magic: The Gathering]] -related story, back when [[Phil Foglio]] was writing monthly comic strips for Magic's official magazine he was asked to do a strip based on a soon to be released set. Unfortunately, he could not told what the theme of the set actually was as it was too big a secret. He proceeded to write [http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20090208 a comic] about what the lazy, obvious plot of the set would be based on it's name and the ongoing story that had wound through the last two sets. It was meant to be a [[Who Writes This Crap?|parody]]. He was 90% correct.

* Jobe is a side character in the [[Whateley Universe]]. He's a sociopathic [[Knight Templar]] who thinks he knows better than everyone else in the world. And he's only fourteen! He has a really unhealthy interest in biologically building a Drow body to be his perfect girlfriend. Several people predicted he'd accidentally get infected with his own serum. It just happened.
