* Pulled not once, but ''three times'' in ''[[Durarara!!]]'', each time proving our [[Ordinary High School Student]] protagonists to be [[Beware the Nice Ones|not quite so ordinary]]: {{spoiler|first, shy, naive Mikado turns out to be the founder and leader of the Dollars, then [[Shrinking Violet]] Anri is not only in possession of the original Saika, but she's been keeping it under control for the past ''five years'', and ''then'' easy-going, bad-joke-cracking Masaomi is the ex-general of the Yellow Scarves.}} Whew!
* Ingeniously played with in the short novel from the anime ''[[Death Note|Death Note: The BB Murder case]]'' in which detective Misora Naomi is sent to do the field work to solve an intrincate case of a serial murderer, helped from behind by the famous detective L who she has never seen in person; and also by a strange character with "panda eyes" that pops out every now and then. Now if you've seen the anime before reading the novel, you'd be inclined to suspect that {{spoiler|the odd character is actually L himself}}. But near the end, the reader finds out that he was, in reality {{spoiler|Beyond Birthday, the killer}}, who helped her {{spoiler|because he wanted to prove he was better than L by coming up with a crime so well-planned not even the biggest detective in the world could solve}} and then {{spoiler|helping Naomi solve it, making it appear as if he had defeated L}}. And the reason why people may be confused at first is that {{spoiler|Beyond was so obsessed over L that he copied his appearance, becoming almost his identical twin}}. Of course, Death Note fans [[It Was His Sled|already knew that]].
* The viewer of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: theThe Witch from Mercury]]'' is, for five (six counting [[Baker's Dozen|unnumbered bonus episode]] ''Prologue'' itself) episodes, heavily led to believe that the seventeen year old main character Suletta Mercury is the then four year old Ericht "Eri" Samaya from ''Prologue'', but hints are slowly dropped that this isn't the case: Even in promotional material the timeline gap between ''Prologue'' and the main series is never given (this being the big one that made viewers suspicious during the initial airing), the executives seen in ''Prologue'' and the main series look to have aged too much for a mere thirteen year gap, where Ericht considered the Gundam Lfrith to be a ''younger'' sister Suletta instead considers the suspiciously similar Aerial to be an ''older'' sister, Suletta's mom seems ''too'' willing to play along with how Suletta considers Aerial a sibling and calls them both her daughters, a [[Freeze-Frame Bonus|briefly seen]] [[Bilingual Bonus|profile on Suletta's mother]] [[Surprisingly Good English|written in perfect English]] mentions Suletta was born ''after'' her mom went to Mercury, Suletta never knew her father despite Eri's being very close to her before dying when she was four, and a fortune teller thinks Suletta has an older sibling. Then at the start of the sixth episode it's mentioned the events Suletta's mom is seeking revenge for, implied to be ''Prologue'', happened ''[[Wham! Line|twenty one years ago]]''.
