* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]] - This is Hauwsr's ultimate fate. Rather than face death by Janus and Saturnus's hands because of causality reversal, Hauwsr causes the Black Hole Engine to self-destruct.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] - Pretty much every Disgaea mission ever, though especially so in A Netherworld Encore: Evening of Darkness, in which Laharl distracted the mod (Li-Chi) running the mission by mail-ordering her a model of the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory|GP-02]]. Another mod (TK) had to finish the mission.

One of the best examples is [[Digimon Tamers|Lionheart]], which took the early episode of [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]] where a kitten finds a Jewel Seed and becomes a [[Mega Neko]] and replaced the kitten with [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Calumon]].

Aside from a small Blue Cosmos detachment, everyone involved (the GDF and even the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|A-LAWS]] and [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Anime)|ZAFT]]) were justified in trying to stop him. It's just that Cagalli was there in the Akatsuki, wanting to drive them off so Orb could solve its own problems.
