Movie [[Trailers]] are [[Never Trust a Trailer|known to mislead]], but sometimes they go in the opposite direction, giving away key plot points and twists (and sometimes what would have been a [[Twist Ending]]). The odds of this happening increase for the commercials aired after a movie's opening weekend.
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
* The back of the third DVD volume for ''[[Code Geass]] R2'' shows Charles {{spoiler|with a code mark on his hand}}, as well as {{spoiler|a dying V.V.}}.
** The fourth volume shows pictures of {{spoiler|Nunnally}}, who was assumed to be dead, including one with {{spoiler|her eyes open}}, and also includes a [[Spoiler Title]] for Episode 22: {{spoiler|Emperor Lelouch}}.
** The final volume of ''[[Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally|Code Geass Nightmare of Nunnally]]'' shows {{spoiler|Nunnally standing up alongside Alice; granted, her eyes are still closed, but so are Alice's}}, and also makes a reference to {{spoiler|Euphemia becoming Empress}}.
* Lantis' 5-minute promo for ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' soundtrack spoiled THE ENTIRE MOVIE, so they had to redo it without spoilers.
** This trope, together with [[Trailer Joke Decay]], was [[Discussed Trope]] in ''The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya'' (the ninth novel), when Haruhi decides to make a sequel to "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina". She talks about how much this annoys her and decides to avert this by producing the trailer before even starting the filming of the actual movie.
* The main Japanese Trailer of ''[[Film/HowlsHowl's Moving Castle (anime)|HowlsHowl's Moving Castle]]'' reveals the true form of the Witch of the Waste, but does not say that it is her.
* The Next Episode previews for ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'' has on one or two occasions spoiled certain things. Episode 10's preview ends with Yusei holding up the Rubble King card (the last card he uses against Takasu) and episode 12's preview spoils the end of the Yusei/Ushio duel by showing Goyo Guardian being destroyed by Turbo Warrior.
** The Next Episode preview for episode 53 spoils the outcome of the Crow/Bommer duel. The very last scene of the preview shows the exact scene in which {{spoiler|Earthbound God Chacu Challhua}} is destroyed.
* The previews for the film adaptation of ''[[Metropolis (anime)|Osamu Tezukas Metropolis]]'' showed scenes from when {{spoiler|Tima realized her true potential - to destroy Metropolis.}}
