''Old Man: But I wasn't! Alright, have a good one...'' }}
* ''[[Thundarr the Barbarian]]'' play this trope in the last episode, "Prophecy Of Peril", which reveal three women would defeat a evil wizard—onewizard — one of them from the old pre-Cataclysm world who will "[[Time Travel|be found by her foe]]."—and — and the wizard [[Schmuck Bait|falls for the bait]] [[Villain Ball|much like any other 1980s cartoon villain]].
* ''[[Justice League]]'': The Legion of Superheroes transport three Leaguers into the future, knowing that "incomplete records" indicate that one of the three won't make it back alive. The subversion comes in when all three heroes ''do"'' survive the mission, but one of them chooses to stay in the future of her own volition.
* ''[[Winx Club]]'': Subversion: {{spoiler|When giving the Winx the Black Gift, the ethereal fairies specifically say "More than one human being could be beyond life's threshold, but you may rescue one person. This is the prophecy, Winx." The next scene seems to suggest that there would be a dilemma between using it on Duman or someone else (many were expecting Bloom, from the trailer that followed the episode). As it turns out, Duman has long been destroyed before the Black Gift comes into play, leaving only Nabu in danger. And then when Layla decides to summon the Black Gift to use on Nabu, Ogron takes it away and uses it on a flower, meaning that it is neither used by the Winx, nor on a person.}}
* ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'': [[Executive Meddling]] actually ''prevented'' the fulfillment of at least one aspect of a prophecy in the finale. See [[Executive Meddling]] for details.
* Double Subverted in ''[[Kim Possible]]'', when foreign exchange student/heir to his country's throne, Prince Wally, is almost killed in an assassination attempt to fulfill an ancient prophecy that the country's monarchy will end with Prince Wally. The characters pat themselves on the back for a good job averting the prophecy, when Wally, impressed with Democracy, claims he will [[Abdicate the Throne]]. Thus fulfilling the prophecy.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Twilight Sparkle reads about The Mare in the Moon, and how the legends state that "on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring about [[The Night That Never Ends|nighttime eternal]]." Since that's only two days away, she warns the princess, who tells her to get her nose out of the books and make some friends. However, as the next day dawns, or rather, fails to, guess who shows up gloating about a never-ending night? It later turns out that {{spoiler|Celestia did know the prophecy was real, and having Twilight make some friends was part of her [[Plan]] for Twilight to save Equestria}}.
