Line 7:
A closely related trope to [[Look Both Ways]], this occurs when a character is hit by a truck and is reincarnated, transported to another world, or the events leading to either or both options start with a truck. It can get a bit confusing, but there are two vital distinguishing features between the two tropes:
# Merely getting hit with a truck (and dying) does not count for Truck-kun; the truck must lead to
# The character, after getting hit, ''must'' remain in the story. In [[Look Both Ways]], getting hit by a truck means you are [[Killed Off for Real]], but getting hit by Truck-kun means you are getting [[Reincarnation Fantasy|another chance at life]].
Watch a compilation of Truck-kun [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IvzZMSaIc here]. See all of truck-kun's anime roles [https://www.anime-planet.com/characters/truck-kun here]. Also see Truck-kun's criminal record, in both [https://www.anime-planet.com/users/RoyalOss/lists/manga-characters-killed-by-truckkun-83506 manga] and [https://www.anime-planet.com/users/RoyalOss/lists/anime-characters-killed-by-truckkun-83507 anime]. This is a common trope in Japanese media. If you have time, feel free to watch the first episode of the shows listed to determine which are examples of Truck-kun and which ones are not (these lists contain people getting hit by trucks, but true examples of Truck-kun also requires the person being hit to be reincarnated).
Line 14:
Truck-kun's presence is not limited to just [[All The Tropes]]. Also see Truck-kun's article on [[w:Truck-kun|Wikipedia]] and [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/truck-kun knowyourmeme.com]. Keep in mind that, in other places on the internet, Truck-kun hits ''everyone'', not just heroes about to be reincarnated. <ref>We have to add the requirement that Truck-kun ''must'' reincarnate (or at least dimensionally displace) someone, otherwise this trope will be the same as [[Look Both Ways]].</ref>. This is already starting to become a [[Discredited Trope]]. You'll have an easier time finding parodies and discussions of Truck-kun than actual examples of Truck-kun.
