** The first theatrical ''Dragon Ball Z'' movie was simply titled ''Dragon Ball Z''. The movie's tagline, "Ora no Gohan o Kaese" (Gimme Back My Gohan), is often used by Japanese fans as a subtitle, despite the fact that it was never used in such capacity by Toei. In the U.S., the movie was titled ''Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone''.

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' - [[VideoGame/MortalKombat1992 The 1992 original]] and [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 the 2011 reboot]]. Official sources (such as Netherrealm Studios's Twitter account) tend to call the latter "Mortal Kombat 9" in social media, as there were three subtitled sequels after ''Mortal Kombat 4'' on consoles (''Deadly Alliance'', ''Deception'' and ''Armageddon''), as well as a crossover (''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse''), which they count as "Mortal Kombat 8".

** Due to the fact that Konami numbered their Game Boy games separately from their NES lineup, there is in fact two different games with the title of "Castlevania II", distinguished mainly by their subtitle: ''CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest'' on the NES and ''CastlevaniaIIBelmontsRevenge'' on the Game Boy.

** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' had an episode called "Game On" and ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'' had one called [[ExcitedShowTitle "Game On!"]]. Interestingly, both were about [[TheGameComeToLife video games coming to life]], but the former also had TrappedInAnotherWorld qualities as well.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' - There's the original 16-bit game on the Genesis in 1991 (along with a really different 8-bit conversion for the Game Gear and Master System), and the MilestoneCelebration game for Xbox 360 and [=PS3=] in 2006. The 2006 game was commonly referred to as ''Sonic [=NextGen=]'', although that has since fallen out of use for ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', mainly due to the fact it's no longer on a 'next' generation system.

* ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' was known as ''The X-Men'' until issue #49, and ''X-Men'' until #113. The ''Uncanny X-Men'' title was re-used in [[ComicBook/UncannyXMen2011 2011]], [[ComicBook/UncannyXMen2013 2013]], [[ComicBook/UncannyXMen2016 2015]], and [[ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018 2018]]. A second series titled ''X-Men'', given the FanNickname ''ComicBook/AdjectivelessXMen'', began in 1991, with a second volume in 2010 and a third volume in 2019.

** The first theatrical ''Dragon Ball Z'' movie was simply titled ''Dragon Ball Z'' until its release on VHS and Laserdisc, where it was given the subtitle ''Ora no Gohan o Kaese'' (Gimme Back My Gohan). Overseas it was titled ''Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone''.

* For the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', the [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries original 1997 anime]] and the [[Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries 2019 anime]] are both just titled as ''Pocket Monsters'' in the Japanese version. There is no issue for [[MarketBasedTitle outside Japan]], as there its been using NewSeasonNewName so the 2019 series in English speaking regions was retitled as ''Pokémon Journeys''.

Due to UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance and Neoclassicist ArtImitatesArt trend, new artists recycle the old masters' titles when reinterpreting their works. As such, we have plenty of ''The Birth of Venus'' {{paintings}}. [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli One]] by Creator/SandroBotticelli in 1486, [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusCabanel another]] by Creator/AlexandreCabanel, and [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusBouguereau one]] by Creator/WilliamAdolpheBouguereau in 1879.

* ''Art/TheLadyOfShalottHolmanHunt'' (1905): Much like Waterhouse's ''Art/{{The Lady of Shalott|Waterhouse}}'' (1888 ), it's a FanArt of Creator/AlfredLordTennyson's eponymous poem about the story of Lady Elaine in the Arthurian Legend.
