* While undercover as John White in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12574905/51/In-the-Kingdom-s-Service In the Kingdom's Service]]'', Jaune claims he became a criminal because he was rejected from Beacon and had no skills beyond fighting, so it's not like he could [[Fanfic/ServiceWithASmile have opened a coffee shop]] or something.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'']]

* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'': In Chapter 111, [[spoiler:after Minato has been resurrected, Naruto's evil clone tries to attack him. The Fourth Hokage comments "Well, I never thought my son would try to hit me, the first time we met.", which is exactly what Naruto did to Minato in canon during their first meeting.]]

* ''[[MythologyGag/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K]]''

*** During the last chapter, [[spoiler: Jaden scenes the 4 Dimensional Dragons in Yuya's deck in a way similar to how his cannon self sensed the Egyptian Gods in Yugi's deck during the last episodes of GX.]]. Furthermore, some of what he says to Glow Moss latter on echo what his thoughts in that duel were.
*** Also, the ending of the last duel shares singularities with the ending of the last duel in season 1 of GX, [[spoiler: Where Jaden plays Battle Fusion to power up his monsters when his opponent attacks it, only for the attacking monster to get stronger despite this, causing Jaden to play Final Fusion to end the duel in a Draw.]]

* In ''Fanfic/TheCaptainOfTheVirtualConsole'', the Pokemon arc, despite being an adaptation of Pokemon Yellow, has some post-Gen 1 elements, like Berries and Johto Pokemon.

*** Two other Rosalina variants end up in other numbers due to the platinum-blonde's connection with LetsPlay/ProtonJon: One drew room seven on the Velocity Rush route due to VideoGame/FZero mascot Captain Falcon's machine bearing number 7 while the other, accompanied by VideoGame/{{Tekken}} fighter Lili and Claire Redfield of VideoGame/ResidentEvil, got room fifty for one of Jon's donation alerts (involving a Tekken song and Claire's brother Chris, who punches a boulder at Albert Wesker, another Jon mascot, because of the song[[note]]"Yodeling in Meadow Hill" from Tekken 6[[/note]] playing).
*** Multiple Pokemon characters find their landing positions due to some part of their canon appearances:
*** Thirteen girls, led by [[PokemonXAndY Valerie]], draw room six of the Electric Runway route as all thirteen debuted in Generation VI (and the route specifically is because Valerie is a fashion model-turned-designer). The debut generation is also why Dawn (who ends up on the Road to Number One route) drew room four and Burgundy from the anime got room five on the route where she ended up. Valerie is also the sixth of the Kalos Gym Leaders (with four of the twelve Furisode Girls accompanying her being her Gym Trainers), which is how Candice (accompanied by her anime BFF Zoey) ended up in room seven.

*** Jasmine's assignment is due to her rematch team from VideoGame/PokemonHeartGoldAndSoulSilver, landing in room sixty-two due to it being the level of her ace Steelix in said rematches.

** In the second chapter, Tang Shen visits an antique called Second Time Around ran by Aggie O'Neil, an the antique store April O'Neil ran in [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the original Mirage comics]], the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003 series]] and the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles live]]-[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze action]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII trilogy]].

* ''Fanfic/AlongCameASpider'' has a couple ForWantOfANail moments that refer to canon events obliquely, such as Kai confronting Dr. Lear after a fight triggered by her calling him a murderer [[SinsOfOurFathers and son of a murderer]], as Kai's father's killing her father involuntarily during a Solaris VII duel was a sticking point between them in canon, but the two never form their canon relationship.

[[AC: ''Franchise/MortalKombat'']]

[[AC:''Manga/{{Naruto}}'']]
* In the fic ''Fanfic/DeadGarden'', where [[ForWantOfANail instead of Naruto, is Sakura the one with the Nine Tails sealed within her]] Chapter 2 states that both Sakura and Kakashi are fans of the "Gutsy Shinobi" books series, and Naruto hating them all 'cause people keep comparing him with the Naruto from the book (which ironically would be the canon Naruto since one of them is titled "Gutsy Shinobi [[Anime/NarutoTheMovieNinjaClashInTheLandOfSnow Clash in the Land of Snow")]] It has become some sort of RunningGag given that these books are mentioned at least once in every chapter afterwards.

** [[spoiler: Ash's Pikachu beats Aaron's Steelix, the evolution of Onix, by using water to make it susceptible to electrical attacks. Just like all the way back in Pewter City with Brock.]]

* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': When [[spoiler:Leliel {{Mind Rape}}s Asuka with its illusions,]] Shinji, a.k.a. ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' confronts him ''[[Comicbook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything saying a single word]]'':

[[AC:''Franchise/SpiderMan'']]
* In the original Franchise/SpiderMan comics, Peter Parker would sometimes sarcastically observe that "the old Parker luck is running true to form" whenever his ButtMonkey status came back to bite him. In ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', Mary Jane Watson is much more of a ButtMonkey than Peter, and so she makes the same references to "the old ''Watson'' luck" when things go badly for her as well.

* In the Earth-1 fanfic ''[[http://www.5earths.com/earth-1/supermanfamily-e1-1987-01-1/ Superman Family: The Legacy]]'', Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'s ex Salkor explains how he and Kara could have a child without her knowing by telling Superman that on his world babies are grown in {{Uterine Replicator}}s, even using the exact phrase "birthing matrix" from ComicBook/PostCrisis portrayals of Krypton. Bronze Age Supes thinks the whole thing sounds cold and clinical.

** When she and Mac Bethad discuss eliminating Mildew, Gruoch comments "'Wash our hands of him'? Is there enough soap and lye in the world to get that spot out?", bringing to mind her most well-known line[[note]]"Out, damned spot!"[[/note]] from ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''.

* ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'' has Michael Carter use the cover identity Brian Falsworth, and then ''another'' cover identity Kevin Marlow on top of it. Marlow became the sueprhero Destroyer, an alias that Falsworth also used before becoming the second Union Jack. It's also under the Marlow identity that he meets Berthold Volker, who in the comics is the German third of the true identity of Agent Axis.
* ''Fanfic/HellsKitchenFullOfGrace'': Jessica once sarcastically calls Matt "Franchise/{{Batman}}", the character Franchise/{{Daredevil}} having once been played by Creator/BenAffleck in the [[Film/Daredevil2003 film adaptation]] and [[Characters/DCEUBatman Batman]] in the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse.

* In the [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] ''{{Fanfic/Ragnarok}}'' L sets up his new headquarters at the Yellowbox Warehouse.

''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' and later ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'', makes her debut rescuing a falling aircraft.

** While explaining the history of Stand users in Morioh to Buccarati, Koichi mentions one user that was born with his Stand in 1970. The user refers to [[Manga/StardustCrusaders Noriaki Kakyoin]] who's hometown was said to be Morioh in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak''.
