* The ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YRF_Spy_Universe YRF Spy Universe]]'' of UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} is a group of spy action-thriller movies featuring various fictional RAW Agents.

* ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'' and ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanity'' apparently share the same universe, as in the ColdOpening to one episode of II, Nickel mentions escaping the Locker of Losers from BFDI (and footage from BFDI is seen at that point), which hints to the Nickel seen in the mentioned episode of BFDI being the same Nickel from II (it helps that Nickel is voiced by Adam Katz in both BFDI and II). Now that Nickel is a regular character in BFDIA, it's unknown if this is still the same Nickel from II. Many ObjectShows also apparently share the same universe, as seen through {{Crossover Punchline}}s and [[TheCameo cameos]], due to how close-knit the Object Show Community is.

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter, VideoGame/FinalFight'', ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'' and ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' take place in the same universe.
** An interesting note is that ''Final Fight'' started as a sequel to the original 1987 ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Street Fighter]]'' game. Hence, it makes sense that a few characters from the original ''Final Fight'' (namely Guy, Sodom, Rolento, and Cody) [[{{Transplant}} would eventually appear as fighters]] in the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series, with stages and endings featuring cameos by other characters. Andore appears in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' under the name of "Hugo", with Poison acting as his manager. Both Guy and Cody returned in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'', with Hugo and Rolento later returning in ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'' with Poison as a newcomer (all three being ported from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken''). Even more recently, Abigail, a HeadSwap of the Andore family and the original game's penultimate boss showed up as a playable character in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', much to the surprise of many. With the central hub of ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'''s World Tour Mode now taking place entirely through Metro City, everything has come full circle.
** Additionally, the sequels and spinoffs to ''Final Fight'' add further proof of this, as Chun-Li makes a cameo in Stage 1 of ''Final Fight 2'', the portable versions of ''Alpha 3'' features Maki from ''Final Fight 2'' as an extra character (based upon her ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium Capcom vs. SNK 2]]'' incarnation), and Cammy is a secret challenger at the Fight Club in ([[CanonDiscontinuity the non-canon]]) ''Final Fight: Streetwise'' ([[WildMassGuessing Several fans also believe]] that The Ghost, another pit fighter, is [[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Joe]] due to their similar appearances and fighting styles.) Finally, Lucia from ''Final Fight 3'' would appear as a playable character in the later versions of ''Street Fighter V''.
** Haggar appeared in ''Slam Masters'' as a wrestler. The original Japanese storyline placed the games before Haggar was elected. However, the U.S. localization refers to him as the "former mayor of Metro City," which gets backed up by Hugo's ending in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII 2nd Impact]]''. A couple of ''Street Fighter'' characters have cameos throughout the series (Chun-Li in the original and Zangief and Balrog in ''Ring of Destruction''). [[AllThereInTheManual Supplemental materials]] for both series even state that Birdie and Titanic Tim were close friends who eventually formed a tag team called the "500 Trillion Powers", El Stingray and El Fuerte shared a Lucha Libre mentor named Meteorito Jr., and Yoko Harmageddon, Rainbow Mika's mentor and trainer, was forced to retire after sustaining a CareerEndingInjury in the ring against Black Widow.
** ''Captain Commando'' takes place in a futuristic version of Metro City. A sculpt of Mike Haggar is featured in the game as an bonus item, and Ginzu the Ninja is a future successor of Guy in the Bushin style of Ninjutsu.
** In ''Rival Schools'', Sakura appears in the first game as an unlockable GuestFighter (with in-game lore and [[https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-10/rs-illust-sakura_hinata_natsu.html promotional artwork]] establishing Sakky as being ChildhoodFriends with Hinata and Natsu) while Hinata and Tiffany make background appearances in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', followed by Akira joining the fray in the game's fifth wave of [[DownloadableContent DLC]]. WordOfGod [[https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/130231 states]] Hinata picked up her fighting skills from online courses held by Ken (thus explaining her {{Shotoclone}} credentials), whereas [[ClassRepresentative Chairperson]] learned Saikyo--yes, ''[[JokeCharacter that]]'' [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Saikyo]]--through a correspondence course. In addition, it's implied that Ran may be related to Dan himself, both sharing the last name of Hibiki.
** Season 2 of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' expands the reach of the ''SF'' universe [[CanonWelding in a different direction]] with its inclusion of Zeku, Guy's master and the preceding grandmaster of the Bushin style. His design and moveset contain numerous allusions to [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]], "Original Strider" is an unlockable title of his, and he even name drops the Strider organization in his story, all of which suggest Zeku founded the Striders or was otherwise heavily involved with the organization's inception.

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter, VideoGame/FinalFight'', ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'' Over the years Capcom has created a hefty shared universe between several of their Arcade/retro franchises, all centered around ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** The first,
and ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' take place in the same universe.
** An interesting note is that ''Final Fight''
most obvious one, was ''VideoGame/FinalFight''. Since it started off as a sequel to the original 1987 ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Street Fighter]]'' game. Hence, game (even briefly going by the name ''Street Fighter '89''), it makes sense that a few characters from the original ''Final Fight'' (namely Guy, Sodom, Rolento, Cody and Cody) years later Maki) [[{{Transplant}} would eventually appear as fighters]] in the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series, with stages and endings featuring cameos by other characters. Andore appears in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' under the name of "Hugo", with Poison acting as his manager. Both Guy and Cody returned in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'', with Hugo and Rolento later returning in ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'' with Poison as a newcomer (all three being ported from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'').

** ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'' started out being connected to
''Final Fight 3'' would appear as Fight'' at first with Haggar being part of its roster, but it still featured a playable character in the later versions few cameos of ''Street Fighter V''.
** Haggar appeared

[[AllThereInTheManual Supplemental materials]] for both series even state series, however, provide much clearer canonical ties like that Birdie and Titanic Tim were close friends who eventually formed a tag team called the "500 Trillion Powers", El Stingray and El Fuerte shared a Lucha Libre mentor named Meteorito Jr., and Yoko Harmageddon, Rainbow Mika's mentor and trainer, was forced to retire after sustaining a CareerEndingInjury in the ring against Black Widow.
** ''Captain Commando'' ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'' has no direct ties with ''Street Fighter'', but instead to ''Final Fight'':it takes place in a futuristic version of Metro City. A City, a sculpt of Mike Haggar is featured in the game as an bonus item, and Ginzu the Ninja is a future practitioner of Bushinryu just like Guy, and backstory material indicates his father, Gou, is Guy's successor as 40th Grandmaster. ''Street Fighter IV'' sort of Guy in brought some minor connection through C.Viper, whose moves and techniques are copied from Captain Commando himself and she uses a powered suit that fans like to theorize is a predecessor/prototype of the Bushin style of Ninjutsu.
Captain's armor. Although the Shadaloo Research website's bio on Ibuki's friend Yuta Homura implies ''Captain Commando'' exists as a video game, it is worth noting ''Street Fighter 6'' director Takayuki Nakayama has stated in twitter that Ginzu's father Gou is Kimberly's senpai as Guy's student, so it is very possible he may show up in World Tour mode.
** In ''Rival Schools'', ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' has Sakura appears appear in the first game as an unlockable GuestFighter (with in-game lore and [[https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-10/rs-illust-sakura_hinata_natsu.html promotional artwork]] establishing Sakky as being ChildhoodFriends with Hinata and Natsu) while Hinata Natsu), and Tiffany make background appearances Hinata's uniform being based on Ibuki's school uniform as seen in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', followed by Akira joining her ''III'' ending (the implication being the fray two went to the same high school). School Life Simulator in the game's fifth wave of [[DownloadableContent DLC]]. WordOfGod [[https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/130231 states]] UsefulNotes/PlayStation port furthered this by establishing Hinata picked up her fighting skills from online correspondence courses held sold by Ken (thus explaining her {{Shotoclone}} credentials), whereas [[ClassRepresentative Chairperson]] learned has documents about Saikyo--yes, ''[[JokeCharacter that]]'' [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Saikyo]]--through a correspondence course. Saikyo]]--she uses to train the player avatar. In addition, it's implied that Ran may be related to Dan himself, both sharing the last name of Hibiki.
Hibiki. Most of these details were dropped in ''Project Justice'' and the Hinata/Ibuki connection was ignored in ''Street Fighter IV'' when Ibuki's high school turned out to be other than Taiyo High, which plus the detail Sakura's blood type was different in Rival Schools, left people wondering if the two series were truly set in the same world. This all changed with ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', first when Hinata and Tiffany made background cameos in the Kanzuki's Beach stage, then followed by Akira joining the fray in the game's fifth wave of [[DownloadableContent DLC]], with the producer and director directly stating both series do indeed take place in the same world.
** ''VideoGame/{{Strider}}'' [[CanonWelding was introduced into the mythos]] with Season 2 of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' expands the reach of the ''SF'' universe [[CanonWelding in a different direction]] with its inclusion of Zeku, Guy's master and the preceding grandmaster of the Bushin style.

** ''VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds'' is not really confirmed, but heavily implied by the Final Fight character Two-P. Two-P was originally designed to resemble the ''Forgotten Words'' 2nd player character (hence his name, "Two-P" = Player Two). What started as a cool nod in the design has grown into the implication the two characters are one and the same, with Two.P having total amnesia of his past and having lots of littles nods to the ''Forgotten Worlds'' character like having one of his lines as his catchphrase, being good with heavy weapons and disliking earthworms and lizards (which appears as enemies in the first stages of ''Forgotten Worlds'').
** ''Street Fighter V'' director Takayuki Nakayama has stated in the design notes of Menat that her crystal ball is "a product of a god-beast believed to have once protected the phantom desert kingdom of Alanbird". Alanbird is the Japanese name of Sangypt, one of the countries in ''VideoGame/RedEarth'', and the god-beast is implied to be the game's boss character Ravange/Secmeto.


Added DiffLines:

** The Red Arremer clan from ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'' has appeared in some of Capcom's earlier titles, establishing a small universe of sorts: they appear in ''Higemaru Makaijima'' along a whole island of enemies from the game (plus a Red Arremer is revealed as the FinalBoss), they also appear as enemies in ''VideoGame/BlackTiger'' and other creatures appear in ''The King of Dragons''.

** Phase 2: A running story centering on the gradual panic over potential alien invaders and the appearance of the Infinity Stones drives ''Film/IronMan3'', ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014''.''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}''. This culminates in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', where super-science gone wrong nearly destroys the Earth and Thor realizes that someone ''wants'' the Infinity Stones found and united. ''Film/AntMan1'' is a DenouementEpisode that's mostly there to introduce a new hero to the sandbox. In this phase they also began to introduce several TV series set in the MCU, like ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' and ''Series/Daredevil2015''.
''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}''.
** Phase 3: The fallout of Phase 2's events and the build-up to the end of the Infinity Stones MythArc runs through ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'', ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''[[note]]Thanks to Sony finally ironing out a deal with Marvel Studios to develop their own Spider-Man series within the MCU while still retaining the rights[[/note]], ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' and ''Film/BlackPanther2018''. ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''. The big CrisisCrossover is split into two parts, ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', with ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' and ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'' ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' coming out in between them to set up various elements for the finale. Finally, ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' is another DenouementEpisode.
** Phase 4: The current phase; a rebuilding period setting up a new Multiverse MythArc. While previous TV shows were always [[RestrictedExpandedUniverse held at arms' length from the movies]], this phase starts incorporating TV miniseries that are fully integrated with the movies' plotlines. While some of the entries introduce the Multiverse and {{Alternate Timeline}}s (''Series/WandaVision'', ''Series/Loki2021'', ''Series/{{Loki|2021}}'', ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'', ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', and ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness''), most of the rest focus on the retirement or death of several veteran heroes and/or PassingTheTorch to {{Legacy Character}}s (''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' fits this despite technically being in Phase 3; and Phase 4 itself includes ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', ''Film/BlackWidow2021'', ''Series/Hawkeye2021'', ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'', ''Series/{{Hawkeye|2021}}'', ''Series/MsMarvel2022'', ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'', ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', and ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever''). The few remaining feature origins for brand new heroes unconnected to the old ones (''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', ''Film/{{Eternals}}'', ''Series/MoonKnight2022'', ''Series/{{Moon Knight|2022}}'', and ''Film/WerewolfByNight2022''), ''Film/{{Werewolf by Night|2022}}''), plus a couple of wacky side adventures of the Guardians (''WesternAnimation/IAmGroot'' and ''Film/TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxyHolidaySpecial'').



** Warner Bros was actually [[WhatCouldHaveBeen supposed to launch]] their DC cinematic universe in 2011 with the release of ''Film/GreenLantern2011'', but poor reception caused the movie to under-perform, and set the possibility of a shared universe back until their next attempt with 2013's ''Film/ManOfSteel'' which, despite its mixed reception, did better at the box office.

* Fox had already started something similar with their ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' by creating more character-centric spinoffs, a job aided the huge background number of X-Men-affiliated characters. A series of movies centered on Wolverine (''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', ''Film/TheWolverine'', and ''Film/{{Logan}}'') was the start, followed up by ''Film/Deadpool2016''. They went full-swing with the idea for a time, by channeling three separate ''X-Men'' sub-franchises: ''Film/Deadpool2'' in 2018, ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' in 2019 and ''Film/TheNewMutants'' in 2020, and each centered around different stories while being part of the same universe, but further plans ended up shelved due to the buyout of Fox by Disney and the future integration of the X-Men and other Mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As their names in the titles implied, Wolverine, the Hulk and Thor were recurring figures among these works, with the former two's first encounter being depicted twice.

* In the late 2010s, there were plans to create a shared universe of adult animated series based on characters from Creator/MarvelComics for Creator/{{Hulu}}. The planned shows were to be based around [[Characters/{{Aim}} M.O.D.O.K.]], ComicBook/HowardTheDuck, ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} & [[Characters/TheAvengers Tigra]], and ComicBook/HitMonkey, with the four shows culminating in a crossover miniseries titled ''The Offenders''. However, as the shows were being developed, producer Creator/MarvelTelevision was absorbed into Creator/MarvelStudios, causing the plans to be scrapped. Ultimately, ''WesternAnimation/MODOK2021'' and ''WesternAnimation/HitMonkey'' were the only two shows to make it to air while the rest were canceled. While the shows did share a universe, with ''Hit-Monkey'' referencing events from ''M.O.D.O.K.'' in a news scroll, their differing animation styles and tones (''M.O.D.O.K.'' being a stop motion DomCom and ''Hit-Monkey'' being a more serious 2D action show) made a crossover unlikely. Compounding this issue is the fact that ''M.O.D.O.K.'' was canceled after one season while ''Hit-Monkey'' was renewed but moved production to Creator/20thAnimationStudios with the Marvel branding being removed.

* The connections between ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' and Creator/{{Volition}}'s other big franchise, ''VideoGame/RedFaction'', have [[ZigZaggedTrope waned and strengthened]] throughout the years, primarily revolving around the villainous MegaCorp named Ultor, which is the driving force behind the colonization of Mars in ''RF''. As early as the original ''VideoGame/SaintsRow1'', the city of Stilwater hosted the Ultor Dome, featuring the Ultor corporate logos, and Ultor became a major power in the city by ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''. Although it had merged with the 3rd Street Saints by ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', weakening the connection; despite an audio cameo by Shaundi in ''VideoGame/RedFactionGuerrilla'' it seems to be the ''Saints Row 2'' version of her (granted Guerrilla came out before Saints Row 3 and it's developments) and there are no mentions of the Saints as an organization. However one of SR3's two endings reinforced it again by having the main characters star in a movie about Mars, meaning that ''SR''!Ultor ''does'' have some interest in the Red Planet. And then it went right out of the window when the entire planet of Earth was blown up by the invading aliens in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' (it is very much intact in ''RF''). However, the shared universe, or rather, shared ''multi''verse was reestablished by ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'' and ''VideoGame/AgentsOfMayhem'', as the former had an ending that erased the Saints' entire timeline via CosmicRetcon, and the latter [[CuttingOffTheBranches established it as canon]]. ''[=AoM=]'' contains passing references to Ultor, so it presumably never gets bogged down in Stilwater in this timeline and eventually reaches Mars.

*** The 45th anniversary series ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger'' depicts all the previous series as each being in a separate universe, even though this contradicts what was established in the ''Gokaiger''. This likely means that each Sentai show has its own universe, but ''Gokaiger'' and other crossovers take place in a universe with its own versions of most of the other teams. Or that ''Gokaiger'' is the "prime" universe with all the Sentai teams, and the worlds in ''Zenkaiger'' are alternate universes each with only one ''Sentai'' team. ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' is a sequel to ''Zenkaiger'' but how the two shows are connected is currently unclear because Kaito from ''Zenkaiger'' is a supporting character in ''Donbrothers'', but has an entirely different personality, although episode 26 implies that he remembers the events of ''Zenkaiger'', hinting that it is an alternate timeline. So now it seems that Super Sentai is retiring the shared universe and switching to a shared multiverse. It also no longer seems to share a universe with ''Kamen Rider'', as ''Film/KamenRiderSaberPlusKikaiSentaiZenkaigerSuperHeroSenki'' shows that ''Super Sentai'' and all the previous ''Kamen Rider'' seasons are works of fiction in the world of ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'' but interestingly, ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'' is a show in the world of ''Donbrothers''. The following series, ''Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger'', diverges even further by taking place in a world very different than ours which resembles a MedievalEuropeanFantasy. This also is supported by the film ''Film/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger10YearsAfter'' which is a sequel to ''Hurricaneger'' but clearly does not take place in the same universe as other ''Sentai'' shows because it completely ignores all of the events that happened to the ''Hurricaneger'' characters in crossovers following the show.

*** The 45th anniversary series ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger'' depicts all the previous series as each being in a separate universe, even though this contradicts what was established in the ''Gokaiger''. This likely means that each Sentai show has its own universe, but ''Gokaiger'' and other crossovers take place in a universe with its own versions of most of the other teams. Or that ''Gokaiger'' is the "prime" universe with all the Sentai teams, and the worlds in ''Zenkaiger'' are alternate universes each with only one ''Sentai'' team. ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' is a sequel to ''Zenkaiger'' but how the two shows are connected is currently unclear because Kaito from ''Zenkaiger'' is a supporting character in ''Donbrothers'', but has an entirely different personality, although episode 26 implies that he remembers the events of ''Zenkaiger'', hinting that it is an alternate timeline. So now it seems that Super Sentai is retiring the shared universe and switching to a shared multiverse. It also no longer seems to share a universe with ''Kamen Rider'', as ''Film/KamenRiderSaberPlusKikaiSentaiZenkaigerSuperHeroSenki'' shows that ''Super Sentai'' and all the previous ''Kamen Rider'' seasons are works of fiction in the world of ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'' but interestingly, ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'' is a show in the world of ''Donbrothers''. The following series, ''Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger'', diverges even further by taking place in a world very different than ours which resembles a MedievalEuropeanFantasy.

* ''LightNovel/{{Oreimo}}'' and ''LightNovel/EromangaSensei'' take place in the same universe. Not surprising, as they're both written by the same author. [[spoiler:It wasn't too obvious in the beginning, but was made very clear when Kyousuke, Kirino, Kuroneko, and Saori make a cameo in Episode 11 of Eromanga Sensei.]]

* The "Series/ToeiUniverse" centered around several properties owned by Toei Company. Sort of. As it seems the shared continuity between shows (even from the same franchise) gets retconned with frequency. To make a recap:

* In the late 2010s, there were plans to create a shared universe of adult animated series based on characters from Creator/MarvelComics for Creator/Hulu. The planned shows were to be based around [[Characters/{{Aim}} M.O.D.O.K.]], ComicBook/HowardTheDuck, ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} & [[Characters/TheAvengers Tigra]], and ComicBook/HitMonkey, with the four shows culminating in a crossover miniseries titled ''The Offenders''. However, as the shows were being developed, producer Creator/MarvelTelevision was absorbed into Creator/MarvelStudios, causing the plans to be scrapped. Ultimately, ''WesternAnimation/MODOK2021'' and ''WesternAnimation/HitMonkey'' were the only two shows to make it to air while the rest were canceled. While the shows did share a universe, with ''Hit-Monkey'' referencing events from ''M.O.D.O.K.'' in a news scroll, their differing animation styles and tones (''M.O.D.O.K.'' being a stop motion DomCom and ''Hit-Monkey'' being a more serious 2D action show) made a crossover unlikely. Compounding this issue is the fact that ''M.O.D.O.K.'' was canceled after one season while ''Hit-Monkey'' was renewed but moved production to Creator/20thAnimationStudios with the Marvel branding being removed.
