Line 71:
* The title of ''[[Neko Kissa]]'' is either a [[Bilingual Bonus]] Stealth Pun or a [[Accidental Pun]]. In Japanese, "Neko" = "Cat" and "Kissa" = "Cafe". So, "[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Cat Cafe]]". The title could also be translated as being the word "cat" in two different languages - Japanese and Finnish: Neko (Japanese), Kissa (Finnish).
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Osaka]] of ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' is somehow [[Super Drowning Skills|unable to so much as float when in the water]] in an episode taking place at the pool. {{spoiler|She's dense.}} In spite of this, she can somehow keep just far enough above the water to speak with Tomo and Nyamo during the same scene. {{spoiler|Maybe she's airheaded.}}
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny (Anime)|Tiger and Bunny]]'', Nathan's name, when pronounced in Japanese ("Nee-San"), sounds eerily like [[Cool Big Sis|the role he plays in the series.]] There's also Kotetsu/Wild Tiger's eye color, which shifts between [[Brown Eyes]], [[Eyes of Gold|gold]], and something in between. There's actually a
* In the first episode of ''[[Medaka Box (Manga)|Medaka Box]]'', Hyuga knocks Zenkichi unconscious and calls him "Ahoge." (Idiot.) The scene abruptly cuts to Shiranui. {{spoiler|[[Ahoge|Just look at her hair!]]}}
Line 532:
** The ''[[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Ace Attorney]]'' series is famous for giving the characters incredibly punny names. Like Shelly de Killer, the assassin who leaves cards with the images of shells at the scene of the crime to draw suspicion from his clients. {{spoiler|The killer with the conches}}.
** One potentially obscure pun can be found in the name of Max Galactica, the magician Phoenix defends in the third case of ''Justice For All''. Max is particularly fond of milk, and needs it to calm his nerves before a performance. How many players realize that the word "galactic" is defined as pertaining to milk in the first place?
** In ''Ace Attorney Investigations'', it's eventually revealed that the Yatagarasu's Key
** The second game's third case introduces us to Acro's pet monkey Money, who has a tendency to steal and stockpile shiny objects. While this causes Phoenix some early grief, the other members of the circus seem to be used to it and regard it as a harmless prank... or {{spoiler|monkeyshines}}.
* No points for guessing which animal is featured on the coat of arms of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aswan Aswan] in ''[[Crusader Kings]]'' by [[Paradox Interactive]]. {{spoiler|[[The Chronicles of Narnia|A lion.]]}}
Line 584:
*** So...is that the reason {{spoiler|his products are known to spontaneously combust at random, and his top customers happen to be ill-tempered assholes that really like big guns?}}
* Probably unintentional, but in old Irem arcade game ''Ninja Spirit'' you control a ninja named Moonlight. He can create up to three shadow clones which follow his every move. {{spoiler|''Moonlight Shadow!''}}
* Either that or
* ''[[Nezumi Man]]'' has Milky Nezumi, who doesn't attack with dairy products (like Butter Nezumi), but stars. {{spoiler|In case you're wondering, he named himself after our resident galaxy.}}
* ''[[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door]]'' has two in the gameplay mechanics. The first is Ms. Mowz's standard attack, a [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slap that ignores enemy defenses]], and the second is the fact that machine type enemies are easy to freeze with ice attacks, (one of the hints old Wonkey tells you).
