One Steve Limit/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* [[Bakuman｡]] has two Hattoris, who are apparently not related. Akira Hattori is the main characters' editor, while Yujirou Hattori is [[The Rival|Eiji Nizuma]] and Shinta Fukuda's editor. Yujirou is typically [[First-Name Basis|referred to by his first name]] to keep them separate, and when he calls Akira by his [[Last-Name Basis|last name]], Akira thinks to himself that he has the same last name.

* The [[CLAMP]] metaseries does this very confusingly. There's {{spoiler|[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Syaoran and Sakura]], their son, Syaoran, his girlfriend, Sakura, and the latter two's clones, Syaoran and Sakura.}} Played with annoyingly in that everyone with the same name looks exactly alike. {{spoiler|Except for the Syaoran that DOESN'T look alike them, Li Syaoran AKA [[xxxHolic|Watanuki Kimihiro]]}}. ** Making that worse, the latter pair {{spoiler|ARE the aforementioned parents. And if we take them at their word that the Tsubasa multiverse includes all Clamp universes, there's also Cardcaptor's Sakura and Syaoran.}} Head hurting yet? *** But oh it gets better! {{spoiler|The non-clone Syaoran and Sakura, who imply several times during the series that their names are pseudonymous are in the final chapter both revealed to be named Tsubasa.}} ** And now there's Sakura in their new manga, ''[[Gate 7]]'', who doesn't seem to have anything in common with any of their [[Cloning Blues|other Sakuras]].

* ''[[Detective Conan]]'' uses this in some mysteries for added... mystery. Not to mention they have a huge list of minor characters, so every once in awhile names are going to HAVE to cross with each other. For example, [[Detective Conan/Characters|the series' character sheet]] listed two one-shot chatacters called Hiroki, and there's at least one more not listed there. ** Hilariously used in a recent case where one suspect was also named Kudo Shinchi (aka the main character.) {{spoiler|Then he was promptly murdered.}} [[Status Quo Is God]]

* ''[[Digimon]]'' has pairs of monsters with the same names that are distinguished by their levels—Rapidmon (Armor) from the ''[[Digimon Adventure 02|Digimon 02]]'' movie and Rapidmon (Ultimate) from ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', and Kumamon (Rookie), originally Bearmon, from ''[[Digimon World 3]]'' and Kumamon (Hybrid), originally Chakkumon [http://wikimon.net/Chakkumon\], from ''[[Digimon Frontier]]''. When two digimon are different enough but of the same name ''and'' level, fans list the year the new one was introduced to draw a distinction such ''[[Digimon Adventure|Adventure]]'' and ''Adventure 02''s Agumon and ''[[Digimon Savers|Savers]]''' Agumon(2006). ** Some are fixed by [[Dub Name Change]]. There are two digimon named Deathmon who are completely unrelated. The dub names the new one ''Ghoul''mon to distinguish them. Then there are two digimon named Deathmeramon, who are only superficially related. The Dub changes the new one to ''Skull''meramon.[[Digimon Xros Wars|The New Metalgreymon]] may get the same treatment.
