* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2020}}'' and its GagDub follow-up ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}''.

* ''Three-Headed Shark'' is the sequel to ''Two-Headed Shark'', not the third in a series.

* Discussed in-universe in one strip of ''ComicStrip/JumpStart''. Marcy reads in the news that a sequel to ''{{Film/Se7en}}'' has been greenlit, and says it's going to be named ''8ight.''

* ''Film/ThreeHeadedShark'' is the sequel to ''Film/TwoHeadedShark'', not the third in a series.

* ''VideoGame/NineteenFortyTwo'' and ''1943: The Battle of Midway''. ''1941: Counter Attack'' was actually the third game (fourth if you count ''1943: The Battle of Midway Mark II'').

* ''VideoGame/NineteenFortyTwo'' and ''1943: The Battle of Midway'' (subsequent entries in the [=1942=] series are all over the place in their titling)

* Played straight by console generations following UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983; third generation consoles were called 8-bit, followed by 16-bit and this lead to the standard of naming game console generations by the next power of 2. However, this habit became less popular in the [[UsefulNotes/TheFifthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 5th generation/32-bit era]] and had all but disappeared by the next generation.
* Justified in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series; the first game is named ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters '94'' and each game takes a year after another, both in-story and in RealLife, so the next game is '' '95'', '' '96'' etc. The pattern continues until ''2003'', at which point the series switches to Roman numerals to cover up a gap between releases (''KOF XI'' was released in 2005).

* Justified in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series; the first game is named ''TheKingOfFighters '94'' and each game takes a year after another, both in-story and in RealLife, so the next game is '' '95'', '' '96'' etc. The pattern continues until ''2003'', at which point the series switches to Roman numerals to cover up a gap between releases (''KOF XI'' was released in 2005).

* The film ''Film/EightAndAHalf'' was adapted to the play ''{{Theatre/Nine}}''

* ''Master of the Five Magics,'' ''Secret of the Sixth Magic,'' and ''Riddle of the Seven Realms'' by LyndonHardy.

The original work will often have a better justification for using a number in the title than the sequel does. So, the title of the film ''TheWholeNineYards'' refers to a common English expression, but ''The Whole Ten Yards'' doesn't.

* Justified in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series; the first game is named KOF '94 and each game takes a year after another, both in-story and in RealLife, so the next game is '95, '96 etc. The exception is KOF XI, which takes place after 2003 in story, but released in 2005 in RealLife.

* ''Film/Three-Headed Shark'' is the sequel to Film/Two-Headed Shark'', not the third in a series.

* ''OceansEleven,'' ''Ocean's Twelve,'' and ''Ocean's Thirteen''

* ''TheWholeNineYards'' and ''The Whole Ten Yards''

* ''OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' (the 1996 live action version) and ''102 Dalmatians'' (its 2000 sequel); averted with ''101 Dalmatians'' (the 1961 animated version) and ''101 Dalmatians II'' (its 2003 direct-to-video sequel)
