Line 82:
** The ''dyed hair'' turns up in a lot. This also is featured in ''[[The Twelve Kingdoms]]'' where [[Dark-Skinned Redhead|Yohko]] is thought to be some sort of hoodlum or perhaps prostituting herself just [[Evil Redhead|because her hair is red]] and not black like other Japanese students. This escalates to the point where her parents are called and she is cornered by teachers to stop dying her hair for the sake of her honor student reputation. Unfortunately for her, she is a natural redhead {{spoiler|because she is [[Trapped in Another World|from another world]]}}. Even more unfortunate is the fact when she's whisked away by the [[Hair of Gold|golden haired]] [[Rapunzel Hair|rapunzel]] Keiki who only solidifies suspicions of her relating with unscrupulous characters. Because, even if he's innocent, we all know [[Blond Guys Are Evil]] especially when they're foreigners in Japan.
** Do note that Asians generally have black hair, as opposed to Westerners with varying colors. Dyeing your hair in most Asian countries usually means you're a rebelling teenager or a wannabe gangster.
* In the RSE arc of the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' manga, one of the protagonists Ruby (10) runs away from home to compete in Contests. Eventually, Norman, his father, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131113013644/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_17/17-051 finds him] in a ruin, and starts [https://web.archive.org/web/20141124013903/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_17/17-054 beating him to a pulp]. ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20141124013908/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_17/17-055 He then uses his Slaking to rip out the stair his son is standing on, (almost hitting a bystander), and dangles him, over the edge of the building]''. His son is finally forced to start fighting back, until the floor collapses, with them [https://web.archive.org/web/20131113043320/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_17/17-067 both dangling over the edge], they just miss some metal debris, Ruby is knocked out, and his father stands to start battling again, before conceding [["Well Done, Son" Guy|his son's goal]]. Then we get [https://web.archive.org/web/20130510101429/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_17/17-071 this].
** The incident had more behind it due to an event in the trio's common past. {{spoiler|A berserk wild Salamence attacked a young Ruby and Sapphire in its frenzy. Ruby took a horrible scar from Salamence's attack, and his innate gift at Pokémon battling let him repulse the frenzied beast, but he felt such influence tainted Sapphire's crystal heart. He has since shunned all forms of battle and sought instead to focus on Contests, swearing never to fight in the public square again. Norman, on the other hand, covered up the incident; not only was he banned from Gym Certification for at least five years, he also had to seek out Rayquaza (Norman had developed a way to capture Rayquaza, but the Salamence destroyed it in the attack). His sacrifice made Ruby's disdain towards his training sting that much more, and the two have been at odds ever since.}}
** In the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime, Zoey/Nozomi's behavior and tone of voice toward Dawn/Hikari were changed in the dub. She acted pleasantly toward Dawn, had a sweeter tone of voice and constantly complemented her; it seemed like she [[Les Yay|had a crush on Hikari]]. Nozomi's original rough and tumble attitude could easily have been misconstrued by the censors as imitable rude behavior and a lack of good sportsmanship, so her overall manner was softened for the dub, adding yet more fuel to the shippers' fire.
