Line 23:
* Noboru Yamaguchi from ''[[Cromartie High School]]'' acts as though the world around him follows the rules of traditional (read: old) styles of comedy, despite the world of ''Cromartie'' being [[Planet Eris|one of the most surreal places ever]].
* Edo Phoenix of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' thinks he's [[The Hero]]. In fact, he practically thinks he's [[Batman]]... in a [[Shonen]] anime. He intially sets out to defeat Judai, thinking he's the enemy. Then when Judai is getting ready to defeat the [[Big Bad]], Edo rushes off to fight him, believing he will win because of a promise he made, not realizing he is ''not'' [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]].
* In the second season of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', Yuya has a bout of this after he finds out that being eliminated from the Friendship Cup means sentenced to life of slave labor at a waste treatment facility. He tries to play hero by announcing this revelation to the crowd before his first match, but not only did [[Everybody Knows That|everyone already know about it]], they didn't object to it! All it does is cause everyone to consider him very naive. Downplayed, however, in that a few episodes later, it seemed Yuya simply needed more experience as an orator; Yugo's attempt to deliver the same message to the crowd seemed to make ''far'' more progress.
* Cancer Deathmask, of ''[[Saint Seiya]]''. He decides to serve the corrupt Pope because [[Utopia Justifies the Means]] and [[Right Makes Might]], and points out that winners write the history books, which is technically true. Unfortunately, he's in a [[Shonen|Shonen Jump]] series, so he is bound to pay dearly for that remark.
* ''[[Berserk]]'' is a [[Seinen]] fantasy manga that contains orgies of violence and sex, of both the consensual and non-consensual types. Despite this, Isidro seems to have convinced himself that he's not only in a [[Shonen]] manga (which are generally idealistic and where good always triumphs over evil), but thinks he's the main character. Suffice to say, if it weren't for the fact he's the [[Plucky Comic Relief]], he probably would've died a long time ago.
