Line 15:
** It also features probably the most over-the-top usage of a stamp in anime: in one of the openings, we see a huge meteorite destroying an entire city and carving an enormous crater... and the meteorite turns out to be a ''building-sized'' version of Rikdo Koshi's stamp.
* Despite driving like a maniac for her driving tests, Natsumi in ''[[You're Under Arrest]]'' gets a driving licence anyway, since the examiner passed out during the test, conveniently letting the stamp fall on the requisite box on the form.
* Zeniba's golden seal in ''[[Spirited Away]]'' turns out to be a major plot point, and in one DVD special the English staff talk about the addition of the word "golden" to keep the mostly young audience from mistaking it for the other type of seal that barks and dives underwater, [[Viewers are Morons|viewers being morons]] and all that.
** And since the seal is in essence Zeniba's name, {{spoiler|her sister's}} theft of it is not just robbery, but an attempt to gain magical power over her.
* Adron's personal seal is an important plot point in the [[Dragaera]] novel ''The Phoenix Guards''.
* An example of the western version appears in [[Dan Brown]]'s novel ''[[Deception Point]]''. [[Strawman Political|Evil Conservative]] [[
* A package being delivered, and the subsequent search for the seal, takes the place of the opening sequence in the first episode of ''[[Seven of Seven]].'' It also allows us to see the deliveryman get totally freaked out, and prove that voice actors can count to seven and deliver [[Title Drop|Title Drops]] at the same time.
* In ''[[Dune]]'', the signet ring of House Atreides is mentioned.
