Line 25:
* [[Parodied]] in ''[[KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!]]'', where Kazuma ''thought'' he died because of truck-kun. In reality, it's "tractor-kun", not "truck-kun", and his cause of death was not getting ran over, but rather ''shock'' from the thought of getting run over.
* In ''[[The Cat Returns]]'', truck-kun helps transport [[The Hero]] Haru to another world. Truck-kun never hits Haru, of course. Instead, Haru gets transported after the Cat Kingdom decide to repay her a favour by sending some gifts of cattails, an offer to get married to a cat, and the means of getting to the Cat Kingdom via a procession of cats. There, the [[Trapped in Another World]] trope plays out.
* In the ''[[Ni no Kuni (anime)|anime adaptation]]'' of the ''[[Ni no Kuni]]'' games, Truck-kun is so powerful they don't even need to ''hit'' the main characters for a transport! Instead, Truck-kun transports people by simply being in their vicinity. Yuu and Haru, while carrying an injured Kotona, jump to the side to dodge Truck-kun, a bus joins Truck-kun's efforts in transporting our heroes, and voila! A bright flash of light suddenly moves the two characters to the world of the games! Kotona suddenly disappears, while the two male leads remark that their clothes have changed and they aren't in the same world any more. A [[Leitmotif]] from ''[[Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch]]'' plays in the background, signalling that Truck-kun has done a very good job.
* In ''[[A Reincarnated Witch Spells Doom]]'' (''Tensei Majo wa Horobi wo Tsugeru''), the eighteen year old shut-in Sena Shirai was hit by a truck on one of the rare occasions she stepped outside, and reincarnated into another world as a baby who can use exactly two spells: "explode" and "destroy". This, as you might imagine, does not make her a very popular person in town, and her magic is not the most useful. Therefore, she's back as her old self in the new world: a shut-in who rarely goes outside.
