** In Sailor Moon S, Usagi goes for a drive with Haruka and Michiru, has the ''exact same conversation'' with them as she had with Uranus and Neptune a few episodes earlier, and even mentally superimposes Uranus's face over Haruka's, realising that they look exactly the same. She forgets all about this a few minutes later and it's a big shock when she eventually discovers that Haruka and Michiru are Uranus and Neptune.

* Mamori in ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'', generally one of the smartest characters in the series, is only able to imagine that Sena and Eyeshield ''don't like each other'' when she realizes that they're never around at the same time. And when "Eyeshield" accidentally calls her "Mamori-nee", appropriate since the two have been friends since childhood, Mamori of course thinks that Sena must have ''told'' him to call her that. Apparently, she's so used to thinking of Sena as an unathletic, unassertive pushover, she only found out after Sena removed his helmet in front of her.

* ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'': Akane Tendo beats this trope into the ground with regards to P-chan's true identity. Several other characters fall victim to it as well, including one who actually ''sees the transformation of two individuals he views as separate'', but in that case it is heavily [[Lampshade Hanging|mocked by the rest of the cast]].

** In a notable subversion, Ranma's mother, Nodoka, starts figuring out that her son and "[[Sue Donym|Ranko]]" are one and the same all on her own, and as soon as the coincidences start to pop up.

* Deeply subverted in ''[[Magical Project S]]''. In the final episode, the panicked sidekick runs into the heroine's classroom and tells her she needs to transform into her superhero form right away. She's horrified to realize that her identity has been revealed in front of all her classmates...but they just shrug: "We've known it all along. After all, you and the costumed superhero look the same, have the same voice, the same personality, and almost the same name. We just didn't say anything because we figured it was supposed to be a secret."
