Line 28:
* Kyon in ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' experienced this trope when he realizes that aliens, espers, and [[Time Travel|time-travellers]] exist. He now regularly spends much of his time in damage control to make sure ''more'' of this weirdness doesn't manifest—i.e. [[Defied Trope|he tries to prevent Skepticism Failure]] in the local unconscious [[Reality Warper]], Haruhi in case she ends up destroying the world accidentally.
* Seto Kaiba from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' is a shining example of a disbeliever to the point of seeing the past, his ancestor, and still brushing it off as fake.
** Well, mostly in the dub version. He's more open-minded about it in the original version. He just doesn't see magic or Duel Spirits as any more of a threat than problems he's already overcome.
* ''[[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World]]'': Everybody is surprisingly easily convinced that Hikari and Akari are aliens. Also, nobody bats an eyelid when Hikari's servant, a [[Ridiculously Human Robot]], shows up.
* An episode of ''[[×××HOLiC]]'' had Watanuki being tricked by his friends into thinking the house he and his friends were staying at was haunted (in an attempt to make him realise he can ask them for help). At the end of the episode they admitted to staging everything, except putting a blue flower in the kitchen when they first arrived. The episode ends with Watanuki looking up at the house to see the real ghost looking out at them.
