*** Furthermore, movie 12 establishes that Sato-san is a fan of Lupin III and is therefore upset when a criminal wears a Lupin III mask. Given that she is a police officer and would not be a fan of a real thief, this would only make sense if Lupin III is a fictional character.

* ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' has an extremely odd version of this thanks to Mr. Ral, a character who looks and [[CastingGag sounds]] exactly like Ramba Ral from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, the ''Gundam'' anime '''does''' exist InUniverse, and most of the characters are huge fans of it -- which makes it even more surreal that nobody comments on or even seems to notice the resemblance.

* Done several times in the original ''Manga/AstroBoy''. Once, when showing a theme park full of fictional creatures, a villain disparagingly refers to "Those creepy gourd creatures Tezuka draws," indicating that Osamu Tezuka, the creator of Manga/AstroBoy, ''does'' exist in their universe. Another time, a bad guy taunts the Professor by saying, "And what have you done with Astro? You've just made a stupid show of him for TV!"
* ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'' seems to love this for some weird reason. Counting off, we've got Creator/YuiHorie, YukariTamura, and NanaMizuki all mentioned when their own characters were arguing. Surprisingly, Natsuru (voiced by MarinaInoue) has yet to be brought up by anyone.

** It comes around full circle in episode 10 where Yuuto visits a recording session for ''Nocturne''. It is heavily implied that the five seiyuu who were recording roles in ''Nocturne'' were Creator/MamikoNoto, MaiGoto, Creator/KaoriShimizu, Creator/KanaUeda, and Creator/RinaSato. Also, Asakura tells Yuuto about a certain ReikoTakagi, who is in fact, Asakura's own seiyuu.

** This trope also creates some pretty big FridgeLogic thanks to the crossover film ''Anime/LupinIIIVsDetectiveConan''. The crossover indicates that both characters exist in the same fictional universe. But that then raises questions concerning the iconic character SherlockHolmes: in Conan's series, Holmes is a fictional character like in ours, and the original stories are what inspired Shinichi/Conan to become a detective in the first place. In Lupin's series, however, Holmes was a real life person, and an episode of the second ''Lupin'' series even has the master thief meeting and impersonating the detective's grandson!
