* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Izuku goes from feeling like his life was over from discovering that he was Quirkless to being on Cloud Nine when he discovered his "Quirk" after tearing the door right off the wall after getting home. Just over a week later, he's loathing every fiber of his being for nearly crippling Bakugou and discovering that he's an alien.
-->'''Izuku:''' In the span of an hour, I went from feeling like my life was over to being on top of the world. As far as I knew, the doctor was wrong, and I did have a Quirk. A Quirk like All Might's, too! It was everything I ever dreamed of! At least until it became everything I didn't even know I was afraid of.

Chapter 13. So, Cross has just been made aware of the fact that he's blurted out a ''lot'' about their adventures that he shouldn't know, and Sanji seems ready to interrogate him. With a face that is, quote, 'serious as a nuclear winter,' Sanji calmly demands that Cross tell him everything he knows about one person that he mentioned in his sleep… Princess Shirahoshi.
-->'''Cross''': …Wait, ''what!?''
-->'''Sanji''': ''(love mode)'' You heard me! Tell me about the Mermaid Princess! The most beautiful creature beneath the seas, an exquisite example of feminine form, truly Aphrodite incarnate! You have to tell me all about her, I beg of you, I'll do whatever I have to! Just tell me about her!
** And the whiplash continues as Cross lists three reasons that Sanji cannot be her knight in shining armor. He remains in love mode as Cross says that she's 20,000 feet below the surface; he instantly changes to burning fury when Cross says that a villainous stalker is after her, forcing her to stay in solitary confinement; and he instantly changes to hit the DespairEventHorizon when Cross informs him that Shirahoshi is no older than 14/15.
-->'''Sanji''': ''WHHHYYYYY!? CURSE YOU, FATHER TIME! CUUUURSE YOOOOUUUU!''
::: Finally, once he gets over that, it's back to his no-nonsense understanding of the true gravity of the situation.
** In the following chapter, after TheReveal, it happens again in the same situation: after Cross tearfully begs for forgiveness, Nami solemnly asks him to answer one question…how rich they're going to get. Sanji then jumps in asking about the beauties they'll find, Zoro briefly attempts to chastise them [[NotSoAboveItAll before caving and asking about]] [[BloodKnight their future fights]]…yeah.
** In Chapter 23, Koala goes from contemplative to furious when she hears herself described as prominent and cuddly.
** In Chapter 24, Cross quickly revises his opinion that Chopper should never [[spoiler:go Hyde again]] when he hears that he almost doubled the Rumble Ball's effectiveness within the first few minutes before he [[spoiler:went insane]].
** In Chapter 29, Cross's mood switches from sleepy to panicked when Hina suggests letting [[spoiler:[[TheMole Vergo]]]] in on [=MI3=].
** In Chapter 32, Sanji flip-flops between terrified and loving when he hears the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Nami is executing on Jonathan.
** During [[spoiler:the events of Movie 6]], Broggy congratulates Dorry for remembering where he heard about [[spoiler:a flower that messes with the minds of its victims]], before both [[OhCrap panic when they realize exactly what the Straw Hats are facing]].
** In Chapter 43, [[spoiler: Merry]] goes from lamenting that she can't swim anymore, to jubilant that Usopp has a solution, to furious that said solution is an inner tube.
** In the same chapter, post-Enies Lobby victory celebration, Cross, Zoro, Nami, Vivi and [[spoiler:Merry]] are watching the sunrise after [[spoiler:successfully negotiating with the remnants of [=CP9=]]], and then the scene cuts to [[spoiler:Aokiji and a newly minted Warlord Blackbeard watching Ace, Squardo and Whitey in a Marine brig.]]

** A notable instance when Nami realizes that Luffy’s expecting her to pay for the armada, currently consisting of 219 people, to eat at the Baratie until he can convince Zeff to join them. She then faints from euphoria Luffy promises that she can have One Piece if she does.
** Happens twice in a row with Patty. First his “pleasant” demeanor vanishes when he hears that the Straw Hats have 219 mouths to feed. Then it returns when Nami shows that they have enough money to pay for it.
** Sanji is reduced to a similar state as when he saw his wanted poster when he finds out that Kaya is Usopp’s girlfriend, and they prove it with a passionate kiss. He snaps out of that in a second when he’s called to the kitchen, instantly ready to serve.
