The [[Canon Immigrant]] is often a walking example of '''Ret Canon'''. See also: [[Adaptation Displacement]] and [[Canon Discontinuity]].

== Anime
* Shortly after the ''[[Negima]]'' alternate universe adaptation introduced Armor Nodoka's ability to split her Diarium Ejus up to read multiple minds, the Nodoka of the manga gained this ability as well (though her version actually shrinks the books based on how many splits she's used).
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'': [[Akira Toriyama]] was so impressed with the TV special featuring Goku's father Bardock that he subsequently [[Canon Immigrant|incorporated the character into the manga]] for a two-panel flashback to the ending of the special, earning both him and the special canon status. This makes Bardock the only anime-original character to be featured in the manga.

* [[J. K. Rowling]] mentioned in an interview that after she saw [[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)|the first ''
** Actually, it seems to have mostly affected how Snape's dialogue is written. Read the "Spinner's End" chapter of ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Half-Blood Prince]]'' and try ''not'' to imagine [[Alan Rickman]] doing Snape's lines.
** Rowling has also noted that her mental image of Luna Lovegood eventually mutated into [[Evanna Lynch]]. But she successfully fought against her "ugly duckling" Hermione being taken over by [[Emma Watson]].
* In the early ''[[Sharpe]]'' novels, Sharpe is a Londoner. Following the TV series, later books reveal he fled to Yorkshire as a teenager, where he presumably picked up [[Sean Bean]]'s accent.
* After ''[[Dr. No]]'' was released and made ridiculous amounts of money for all involved, [[Ian Fleming]] gave [[James Bond (novel)|James Bond]] Scottish ancestry (rather ironic, considering he considered [[Sean Connery]] a bad choice for the role at first).
* In Craig Thomas' novel ''Firefox'', the titular fighter craft was originally nothing more than a MiG-25 Foxbat augmented with state of the art technology. After [[Clint Eastwood]]'s 1982 [[Firefox|movie adaptation]] came out with its iconic [[Cool Plane|superfighter design]], subsequent republishing of the novel would use the movie version of the Firefox to depict the craft. In addition, Thomas changed the description of the plane in the sequel novel ''Firefox Down'' to match the new appearance.
** The Firefox (both the plane and movie plot) is actually an Expy of the '
* The original novel of ''[[House of Cards (British series)]]'' ends with {{spoiler|Francis Urquhart's death}}. This was changed in the TV adaptation, enabling sequels. The two sequels to the novel (both adapted for TV later) are based on the TV ending.
* [[Arthur C. Clarke]]'s ''
* At the end of the novel ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', Ian Malcolm dies. He survives in the movie, and in the sequel to the book he is the protagonist. On the flip side, several characters who survived in the book but were killed in the movie adaptation are mentioned in the ''Lost World'' book sequel as having died from assorted natural causes some time after escaping the island. The only major exception to this is Hammond, who stayed dead in the books and alive in the movies.
* Other than the basic premise of "cartoon characters are real and live side-by-side with humans" and four important characters (Eddie Valiant, Roger and Jessica Rabbit, and Baby Herman), there are almost no similarities between the book ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit?
* Martin Caidin's ''Marooned'' featured a Project Mercury mission. Later editions matched up with the movie and featured a Apollo-style spacecraft.
* The later novels of ''[[Inspector Morse]]'' see Lewis become more and more like his TV counterpart. Colin Dexter stated that he found this was also

** As of ''[[Mortal Kombat 9|MK9]]'', the [[Ship Tease]] between Johnny and Sonya (assumed to be canon on most fans' part anyway) became canon, albeit in the form of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] (at first, anyway; Sonya mellows out a bit towards Johnny over time).
** Also, [[Physical God|Raiden]] in later games seems to be heavily influenced by Christopher Lambert's portrayal in the movies, specifically his [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|long white hair]], his [[Deadpan Snarker|dry sense of humor]], and the fact that he is forbidden from directly interfering in the tournament.
* The [[Kirby]] platformer ''Kirby Squeak Squad'', redesigned Dedede's palace to resemble the one from the [[Kirby:
** Similarly, the GBA remake of Kirby's Adventure features the Fountain of Dreams from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Melee'', complete with its remixed stage music.
** Before the anime, Plasma Kirby had pink skin. Since the anime depicted him with green skin, subsequent games followed suit.

** In addition to that, ''Sonic Chronicles'' features the SWATbots from the old ''Sonic'' cartoon as enemies.
** Dr. Eggman used to only be called Robotnik outside of Japan, and vice versa. Now his full name worldwide is Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.

* ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' has a group called the [[Praetorian Guard|Cybertron Elite Guard]] serving as the commanding military and security force for the Autobots. Then, the BotCon 2009 theme was about a similar group (with the same winged Autobot insignias) set in [[Transformers: Wings of Honor|G1 continuity]] called the ''Cybertronian'' Elite Guard.
* In another Transformers example, the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' toyline originally portrayed the events as taking place on present day Earth and Optimus Primal and Megatron being merely new forms of [[Transformers Generation 1|Optimus Prime and the original Megatron]]. When the animated series premiered with the events taking place on prehistoric Earth via time travel and Primal and Beast Megatron being made [[Legacy Character|legacy characters]], the toyline was changed to match up with the cartoon.
** ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' shows heavy influence from the ''[[Transformers Film Series]]'' including the general appearance of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron, as well as Bumblebee's muteness (although he now speaks in generic beeps and tones instead of talking using clips from his radio). Many fans have described the aesthetics of the robots as a mix of Movie-style and Animated-style.
