** The last time the gag is used in Part 1 is when Inner Sakura is implied to be a full on 2nd personality and foils Ino's attempt at [[Grand Theft Me]].

* Usopp's lies in ''[[One Piece]]''. His fighting style used to heavily rely on flat-out lying to his opponents to scare them and gave him the upper edge. This is a variation because instead of entirely dropping them at a certain point, he used them less and less and utilized more of his inventions. He still lies, but only occasionally, and he will usually have a plan instead of improvising a lie, such as the Usopp Golden Pound in his Thriller Bark fight against Perona.

* In the Funimation dub of ''[[Shin Chan]]'', Penny has a very abusive dad that stems most of her humor. Near the end of Season 2, her dad goes to therapy, but because Penny is used to the ideal that [[Love Hurts]], she has trouble coping for an episode before finally accepting it. After the show was brought back after 2+ years on hiatus, the writers seemed to have kept this element.

** In the early seasons of ''[[American Dad]]'', Klaus' entire character (aside from being a man's brain in a goldfish) was his crush on Francine, doing things like trying to look up her dress or rolling around in her underwear, culminating in an episode where he gets a human body and tries to steal her away from Stan. As the show started [[Growing the Beard]], this aspect of his character quietly disappeared without explanation<ref>Well, ''maybe'' one explanation. In one episode Francine unconvincingly acts concerned for Klaus' well-being after the house catches fire. Klaus responds "Too late, Francine. Too fucking late." This might mean that he gave up on his lust for her.</ref>

* For four and a half seasons of ''[[Daria]]'', Quinn refused to admit that Daria was her sister, insisting that she was her "cousin" instead. She was especially nervous that her friends in the [[Girl Posse|Fashion Club]] not find out her real relationship with Daria. But thanks to [[Character Development]], by the fifth season Quinn's relationship with Daria had improved and she started sticking up for herself more in the Fashion Club. This led to the following exchange in the episode "Lucky Strike":
