Line 53:
* A ''[[Naruto]] Shippuden'' filler takes a character from the manga who we only knew from sourcebooks and from a manga spread and spread it out. The character is Utakata, a rogue ninja from the hidden mist village and host of the six-tailed beast. Unfortunately, anyone who read the manga knew that he did not show up and was implied to have been captured off-screen. So this obviously was ''not'' [[Doomed by Canon|going to end on a happy note...]]
** Likewise, the manga's flashback story showing Minato's life prior to the Nine-Tails' attack. {{spoiler|We've already been told beforehand that he and his wife will die immediately after their son Naruto is born, with Minato's final act being to seal the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body.}}

* ''[[Fate/Zero]]'', as a prequel to ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', is subject to this. Anyone who is familiar with the latter will know that {{spoiler|the Grail is corrupted, and Kiritsugu will be forced to order Saber to destroy it, resulting in the fire. Kiritsugu saves Shirou by implanting Avalon in him and adopts him, and he will die from the the Grail's curse a few years later, without ever seeing his daughter again. Kotomine will give in to his inclinations and [[Start of Darkness|become a villain]]. Kariya will fail to rescue Sakura, and Rider will be unable to convince Saber that her ideals are flawed. Tokiomi, Aoi, and Irisviel are all [[Doomed by Canon]] as well.}}
