* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': In [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E1MurderFamily the first episode]], Moxxie is upset that I.M.P. has been hired to kill an entire family when their client really only needed revenge against the mother, but admits he'd be totally fine with it if it was a mob family and/or the father is shitty. Season 2 would later reveal that Moxxie comes from a mob family and fled it to get away from his horribly [[AbusiveParents abusive father]].

* ''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'':
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z3rCH0oyEI&ab_channel=Etrachansawit%21 this video]], Yuzuriha claims to have dated Akamatsu, only for him to suddenly dump her and disappear. Throughout her explanation, Akamatsu's face is never properly shown, and his hair is noticeably a lighter color than normal. It's later revealed that the Akamatsu Yuzuriha knows isn't the normal Akamatsu (who's Karin's husband in this video) and they merely have the same name, causing her to get confused.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frDfG64-UZ8 Tsutsuji]] inexplicably has a mole under her left eye, then it's revealed that [[spoiler: she is actually Yuzuriha who took facial surgery after being bullied by Akane and Azami.]]
** When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlhZ6td7JMI Akane]] tells Yuzuriha that she dated a man and got dumped by him after she told him about her real age. It all makes sense when Akane's ex-boyfriend turns out to be [[spoiler: Yuzuriha's fiancé Akamatsu who is revealed to be [[PaedoHunt lusting on younger girls]].]]
** When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftyTRN6dJLk Kuroki]] is talking to Akane about how she reminds him of his daughter and how he wants her to remember her workplace if something happens, there is a shot of two people on a boat. These two people turn out to be Karin and her father Akamatsu who witness Tachibana beat up Kuroki and the two of them get him arrested.
** When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq1vzNWuGo0 Yuri]] becomes a high-schooler, she starts styling her hair in a sidebraid just like her mother Yuzuriha. Akamatsu has a very unsubtle [[StacysMom crush on her mother.]] [[spoiler:It's revealed at the end that she was hoping that if she made herself look more like Yuzuriha, Akamatsu would become attracted to her.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt1BplxPxCA Tsutsuji]] has black eyes instead of her usual light brown, then it's revealed that [[spoiler:she is actually Kuroki [[{{Crossdressing}} crossdressing]] as a girl.]]

* In ''WebAnimation/ENA'', “Power of Potluck”, during the opening, you can see ENA’s hand pressing a button upon the screen, and then a loud chime is heard, but if you can listen closely through the noise you could hear the voice of Moony yelling “RUN! RUN! ENA. RUN!”, this foreshadows the truth of the episode that [[spoiler: Ena had just been in a trance after messing up a doorbell prank with Moony.]]

*In ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanityInvitational'', in “Blue Buried”, there were a few hints surrounding the mystery of Blue Berry’s death, [[spoiler: being that he staged his death.]]
**First off, as he was walking off the boat, he had to push Goo out the way, although he was at the front of the boat, there was plenty of space for him to just pass through him
**And if you account, Blueberry was the first person to walk off the boat, so he could have enough time to stage his death.
**And to top it off, Blueberry walks across the island he says “Sweet, sweet land! I’ve never felt so alive!”

** Usually, J.P. Beaubien recommends to avoid foreshadowing whenever possible, whether it is for the future plot twists, characters' decision to make sense, or for other purposes. After all, foreshadowing would ruin the surprise and it would take effort to properly foreshadow something. Other reason he suggests avoiding foreshadowing is because it simply takes too much work.

Two specific variants are {{Futureshadowing}}, where the shadowing comes ''after'' the actual event chronologically but is still seen before it, and ForeseeingMyDeath, where a character has foreseen, prophesied or predicted his/her own demise.
