* Konata Izumi of ''Manga/LuckyStar'' is seen playing a fighting game at an arcade in one episode. She beats a guy, much to his dismay of finding out who beat him. A strip similar in idea was: since she is [[OlderThanTheyLook excessively short]], the other {{tomboy}} misjudged her ability and got owned. On the next day, that other tomboy beat Konata -- but within such a razor-thin margin that she knew that Konata ''let her win''!
