* ''Manga/CellsAtWork'': Red Blood Cell 3803 and White Blood Cell 1146 keep running into each other whenever something major is happening in the body despite ([[LampshadeHanging as they both point out]] there being 37 trillion cells in the body and the odds of them seeing each other more than once are ridiculously slim. This goes back all the way to when they were developing cells in the bone marrow, when Red Blood Cell got attacked by a bacteria. They both remember the incident but neither remembers the identity of the other cell.

*** The anime further subverts this by including the scene where Kusuri mentions submitting her application in her debut episode, making this a straight case of {{Foreshadowing}}.

* Izuku's fight with Gentle in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' only happens because of three coincidences, each of which is fairly plausible by itself, but are rather unlikely in conjunction. First, Momo, the richest kid in class, receives a care package from home that includes a very rare and expensive blend of tea. Second, Izuku accidentally clicks on a link to one of Gentle's previous webstreamed crimes, in which he explains that he always has tea before a job, and the quality of the tea is a function of how big a job he expects it to be. Third, he crosses Gentle's path purely by accident while they are both out shopping. Because Izuku had recently watched one of his videos, he recognized Gentle's voice. Because Gentle mentioned that he was buying tea, Izuku knew he was about to commit a crime. And since the tea he bought was the same super-rare and expensive blend that Momo had just gotten, he knew that the job Gentle had planned would be very high profile. From there Izuku deduced what the job was and set out to stop him.

** Lampshaded in chapter 84, a sequel to a BabyMorphEpisode in which Hahari wants to use Kusuri's "Become-A-Baby" Drug on the girlfriends who joined since the last time it was used. When Kishika knocks the vial with the drug to the ground, it explodes and babyfies the girls close to her, which just so happen to be the new girlfriends and Hakari, who wasn't changed the last time. This fact is immediately lampshaded.
--->'''Karane:''' Kishika and everyone who happened to be nearby: Hakari, Mei, Iku, Mimimi, Meme, Chiyo, Naddy, Yamame, Momiji, and Yaku...!\\
'''Nano:''' To think fate could be so convenient...\\
'''Shizuka:''' "Surely, the gods must be playing tricks."

** Even better is right before that, the Straw Hats arrive on the Sabaody Archipelago, after a two year training hiatus, at the same time a group of phoney imposters are there recruiting other pirate crews. Several of them also independently run into the fake Straw Hats purely by chance, who variously get the crap kicked out of them by the real deal (with the fakes not realizing they've been antagonizing the ones they're copying).

** In order to [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou stop a drunken Kaido from razing Kuri and its precious labor force]], Hawkins makes up a lie on the spot that Luffy and Law, whom Kaido is looking for, are hiding in the ruins of Oden Castle; Kaido promptly ''[[BreathWeapon disintegrates]]'' the mountain the castle ruins are standing on, neither of them having any way to confirm if anyone was actually there. What neither Hawkins or Kaido knew is that, not only are Luffy and Law ''not'' at the castle ruins, several of their allies ''are'' hiding there at that exact moment. In fact, Luffy and Law had left the castle ruins the moment Kaido showed himself in order to distract him and keep their allies in relative anonymity, which needless to say didn't go according to plan, but Hawkins had no way to know they were ''actually'' there. Lucky for everyone Shinobu is able to use [[MakeThemRot her Devil Fruit ability]] just in time to bury everyone before Kaido can incinerate them.

** Chapter 83 features a ramen shop owner determined to create impossible-to-finish gourmet ramen challenges to make others feel the humiliation she felt when she failed such a challenge. When her first attempt, a "Spicy-as-Hell Ramen Challenge" fails in the face of Kusuri's and Yaku's acquired spice immunity from all of their drug testing. From there the shop owner tries different challenges, only to have them go up against a girlfriend capable of defeating it. The Hot-as-Hell ramen falls to Iku's masochism, the Steamy-as-Hell ramen challenge is ineffective against Mei's EyesAlwaysShut, and so on. Her attempts to create ramens customers can't even ''order'' fail when Nano flawlessly remembers and repeats the overly long, complicated name of one and Hahari and Hakari easily afford the Expensive-as-Hell ramen. Finally she tries to create a ramen so packed with food that it should be impossible for any human being to finish... and in walks BigEater Kurumi, who doesn't leave a drop in the bowl. The shop owner throws in the towel at that point.
