== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': During a fight against Wrath, Fu {{spoiler|attempts a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}, only to get foiled by his opponent. Just when things look hopeless, {{spoiler|Buccaneer also sacrifices himself, and their united efforts manage to wound Wrath}}.
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'': Sakaki types "cats" in a search engine, and everything she gets is a big bunch of random matches (including a page titled "We Love Neko Koneko"), thus subverting [[It's a Small Net After All]]. Then she types "Iriomote cat", and it seems like one of the very first matches is a plot relevant news article about {{spoiler|how Mayaa's mother got killed}}, thus playing this same trope straight. (But even then it's vaguely justified, because the Iriomote cat is an extremely endanged species, so a story about a plot-relevant cat isn't as much of a coincidence as it would otherwise be.)
** Even more justified in that recent news articles on subjects often show up high on a search list, especially for sensitive topics like endangered species (such as the Iriomote cat).
