* In the skateboarding documentary ''Pretending I'm a Superman'', about the cultural impact of the ''VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater'' series, Creator/RodneyMullen recalls how he skated in a gang-infested part of Los Angeles near Compton and encountered a bunch of gang members who were apparently going to jump and rob him. One of them walked up and lay right on the table, which Mullen thought he was going to get knackered. The skateboarder, clearly at the mercy of a band of thugs, uttered something that led the thugs to have a change of heart and when they recognised Rodney, they were star-struck to see their idol in person, exclaiming "You're that guy! I play you!" and started reciting all the trick names he picked up from playing the games.

*** ''Titanic's'' original SOS message hadn't reached ''Carpathia''. The only reason they received word that ''Titanic'' was even in trouble was that wireless operator Harold Cottam, who was off-duty and preparing for bed, decided to take one more message just to be a decent guy. The message was from Nova Scotia and mentioned in passing that they had a backlog of messages for the ''Titanic'' that weren't going through for some reason. As a favor, Cottam decided to pass on the message...Any lives saved by ''Carpathia's'' swift response are owed entirely to ''an act of random kindness.''

** As Titanic sent out distress calls, other ships from several countries jammed the waves trying to understand what was happening and offer assistance. This outpouring of goodwill was in danger of overwhelming Titanic's messages, so Olympic (Titanic's sister ship, which was within range) signaled: "All stations stop transmitting. This is Olympic calling Titanic. Stop talking. Stop talking." It's akin to Olympic shouting down a chaotic, screaming room so she could get to her sister, or at least get her help.
** Wireless operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride stayed at their posts until the literal last possible moment. Bride recalls being moved that Phillips continued working while Bride stood up at the end to gather some money and belongings; Bride himself had draped a life vest over Phillips as he worked. Titanic's final message was cut short ("CQD THIS IS") as the radio room flooded and damaged the equipment.
** SS Frankfurt is often the target of some anger or the butt of some dark jokes because she kept transmitting to ask Titanic what was wrong and an enraged Phillips told her to "stand by and keep out!" With her less powerful equipment, the distance between the ship, and Titanic's fading strength, Frankfurt wasn't hearing all of the messages - the last time they got a message was 1:23 AM, while the final distress call was sent at around 1:45. Captain Hattorff ordered the galley to bake bread and the crew to gather blankets for Titanic's stricken, and sped towards the sinking site anyway. Unfortunately, Frankfurt arrived much too late and found only ice.

*** The fact that game kept the tree house at all after reformatting itself. It did away with the man-eating plants, turned Van Pelt from a hunter into a mercenary and changed the way it operates as a game, but Alan Parish will now always be a constant.
** Jack Black nailing his role as a teenage girl trapped in Jack Black's body, without one drop of irony, condescension, or judgment. Bethany-as-Shelly could easily have been a joke or a parody, but he makes her real and complex and genuinely likable.

* After the Battle of Trafalgar, the Royal Navy sent boats out to try to save survivors of ships that had gone into the water. Much to their surprise, they found themselves rescuing several women who had gone to sea with the French Navy. One of them was pulled out of the sea stark naked...she had had to discard her clothes when they caught fire as her ship was destroyed. The British treated these women with perfect kindness and chivalry. They were provided with clothing (sailors at that time were generally skilled at sewing, and they quickly improvised what they needed) and as soon as possible, were repatriated to France, sometimes alongside the husbands they had followed to sea. This Troper figures that, in subsequent years, there were certain Frenchwomen who would ''not'' have reacted well to gibes or insults directed at the British or their Royal Navy.

And then the Tohoku quake and tsunami struck. Amidst all the devastation, Teruaki Ogawa ([[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Ninja Red - Sasuke]] and [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Black Knight Hyuuga]]) setup a Twitter feed that allowed veteran actors from not just ''Super Sentai'' but ''Kamen Rider'', ''Metal Heroes'', and ''Ultraman'', as well (including villains, as this troper clearly remembers a tweet from Mitsu Murata in-character as [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Bishop]]) to send messages of encouragement and hope to all the children and their former, now-grown audience in the face of this crisis. It's through this feed that many Sentai veteran actors learned about ''Gokaiger'' and its anniversary cameo gimmick and wanted to be involved, particularly in the then-in-production ''Film/GokaigerGoseigerSuperSentai199HeroGreatBattle''. If the veterans who appeared in the movie as projections after the recovery of the Keys seemed tacked on, it's because they really were not originally part of the production, but were added in midway to help give hope to a struggling nation, and the same applies with all the veterans who appeared in the show after the movie's screening. This influx of former Sentai actors joining the production includes even retired actors like Kazuki Maehara ([[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Ginga Red - Ryouma]]).

** There's a bonus to this particular moment if you know certain bits of historical/cultural context: Maine was originally part of Massachusetts until splitting off in 1820, and the two states still share a lot in common. Mainers tend to complain about "Massholes" coming up and ruining their summers, but in this case, New England solidarity took the forefront. If Britain playing the Star-Spangled Banner after 9/11 was Mother England singing to her child, this moment was like Massachusetts putting aside the bickering and stepping up to care for its little sibling.

*** The response from Takayuki Yanagi, who played Onari, is sweet too. He hopes that filming went well and wished that he could've been part of the episode but was unfortunately busy at the time.
** Part one of the tribute to ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' will be airing on Febuary 3rd. That is the 17th anniversary of the first episode of Ryuki airing.
*** Because multiple alumni from past Riders appearing in this show, Satoshi Matsuda, actor of Ren Akiyama/Kamen Rider Knight expressed his wish to reprise his role as Ren and even guest starring in Zi-O. While the ''Ryuki'' tribute arc only features Shinji, his mirror duplicate and Daisuke Okubo, Matsuda gets his wish when the Rider Time Ryuki, a spinoff of Zi-O to commemorate Kamen Rider Ryuki was announced.

** After the series finale, it was revealed that the actor for Oma Zi-O's civilian form was none other than Seiji Takaiwa - Mr. Kamen Rider himself! It's very fitting to give the role of the one who wields the power of all Kamen Riders to the person that played nearly all twenty. In a way, it's heartwarming because it could be seen as a way of saying thanks to give the role of the Ruler of Time who wields the power of all Kamen Riders, to the one known for being the suit actor for countless Riders, alongside 18 out of the 20 main Kamen Riders.
*** Even more fitting ever since Takaiwa announced he would be stepping down as main suit actor for the Reiwa Era. What better send off than to have him play the man who had the powers of so many Riders he portrayed?
