* Vegeta shaving off his mustache in ''[[Dragon Ball GT]].'' It might have been too little, too late for some, but it marks the point in the series where it switches from early ''[[Dragon Ball]]''-style slapstick to DBZ-style save-the-world fights.
* In the [[Hentai|H-anime]], ''[[: ([[Frantic, Frustrated, and Female]])'', main character Hiroe is explicitly shown [[Incest Is Relative|engaging in less-than-wholesome activities]] with her "sister", Mayaka. And the end of the episode shows ''their "mom"'' getting in on the act. Every subsequent sequel to ''F³'' has a tongue-in-cheek note that explains that Hiroe and Mayaka are just [[Not Blood Siblings|"like sisters"]] and "Mom" is actually their landlady, despite the fact that they all have the same family name.
* Many ''[[City Hunter]]'' fans were angered when they learned that Ryo Saeba's partner, Kaori Makimura, was killed off in its sequel ''[[Angel Heart (manga)|Angel Heart]]''. Because of this, Tsukasa Hojo, the author of both titles, went on to proclaim that ''Angel Heart'' was not actually a ''City Hunter'' sequel, but a spin-off set in an [[Alternate Universe]] featuring most of the same characters. However, most fans that got over Kaori's death in ''Angel Heart'' now accept it as a genuine sequel to ''City Hunter''.
* When ''[[Naruto]]'' reached the Pain arc, characters started kicking the bucket left and right, and it actually seemed like it would conclude some character development, but then {{spoiler|Nagato sacrificed himself to save all of his victims.}} On the other hand, some fans wonder if the series really would have been better with the deaths intact.
