Line 52:
* The anime version of visual novel ''[[Koihime Musou]]'' features Ryuubi (Liu Bei) as [[The One Guy]], when the show was supposedly about an [[Fundamentally Female Cast]]. But there's also the announcement of ''Shin Koihime Musou'', which features a female Ryuubi. {{spoiler|It turns out to be true and that this Ryuubi is a [[Jerkass]] imposter.}}
* Many new fans of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' by way of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|GX]]'' were sure that Judai/Jaden would duel Yugi on the last episode, which more seasoned fans dismissed as noobish nonsense. Of course, while that's actually what does end up happening, {{spoiler|instead of dueling the present-time Yugi of ''GX'', we're treated to a spastic [[Time Travel]] sequence where Judai duels the Yugi of the past while he still has the spirit of Atem, setting up a [[Stable Time Loop]] to ensure that Yugi would know to give Judai Winged Kuriboh before he enters Duel Academia.}}
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', the mysterious Dark Glass and the amnesiac Bruno are the same person. V-Jump
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': Around the time chapter 229 was released, a theory popped up on [[Mahou Sensei Negima/WMG|Wild Mass Guessing]] that the Asuna that was with Negi and co. was not the real Asuna, but a fake, while the real Asuna was kidnapped during the previous battle. It was based mostly on the fact that a) we never physically saw Asuna joining up with everybody after the battle and b) she was acting more out-of-it than normal. Then came chapter 233...
** And as of the most recent chapter, there are probably a number of fans who are happy that {{spoiler|Mundus Magicus is, in fact, on Mars. [[Another Dimension|well, sort of]].}}
Line 235:
** Another example from the Zelda series is that, between E3 2009 (where the first piece of concept art for the upcoming Wii ''Zelda'' game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' was revealed) and E3 2010 (where some details of the game, including its title, were announced), people thought that the mysterious blue figure in the piece was the Master Sword (or more specifically, a more humanoid version of the Master Sword). Then in E3 of 2010, it was revealed that this mysterious blue figure was none other than the spirit of the Master Sword.
*** The game also gave credence to the long-standing theory that {{spoiler|Ganon is the reincarnation of a much older demon}}. Or rather, that {{spoiler|the essence of the demon's ''hatred'' manifested as Ganon}}, but either way, {{spoiler|Ganon's exists because of an ancient demon}}.
** [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/hyrule-historia-reveals-oot-links-cameo-in-twilight-princess/ It
** Also as of ''[[All There in the Manual|Hyrule]] [[Word of God|Historia]]'', it turns out that the owl in ''Ocarina of Time'', Kaepora Gaebora was indeed a form of Rauru. People had deduced it from the Gossip Stone hints, but now it's been [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/hyrule-historia-confirms-ocarina-of-time-owl-is-rauru/ confirmed.] The exact quote being "Rauru. He's the sage who built the Temple of Time in ancient times. Before Link pulled the Master Sword out, he followed Link's adventures as the owl Kaepora Gaebora."
** Fans were also right about ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|Minish Cap]]'' being the first game timeline when it was originally released (it was kinda obvious: the Master sword doesn't appear, Ganondorf isn't even mentioned, and it explains where [[Memetic Outfit|Link's trademark pointy hat]] came from). It held the position of first game in the timeline until ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' was released several years later which was set even earlier.
Line 297:
** The funniest part of this is that on 4Chan, the reasoning for this speculation was that it was the stupidest and most offensive ending Buckley could think of. Sure enough...
* ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'' hands us a truly spectacular one in [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/05/28/episode-1133-pretty-obvious-really/ #1133]: {{spoiler|Sarda is the Onion Kid}}.
* Occurred
* In ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', when Aggie came across Duane prostrate on the school floor, he claimed he was looking for a contact lens. A few fans speculated on the forum that he was {{spoiler|engaging in Islamic prayer}}. A roughly equal number of fans said that was the most ridiculous and baseless speculation on the comic they'd ever heard. A few weeks later, the side-story arc "Conversion" revealed that Duane had indeed {{spoiler|begun secretly exploring Islam}}.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'' is a weird example of this, since Andrew Hussie [[Sure Why Not|likes to use fan theories as actual plot points during the story.]] He's even said that "90% of 'calling it' is really influencing it in disguise".
