# AwesomeMusic.DanceRush: S[[ArcNumber 7]]AGE by Zekk was a pain to unlock. Get 2500 points, equivalent to 13 credits if you play near-perfectly, play [[ArcNumber 7]] of the Lesson songs (which you probably don't have any need for if you're this far in), and get [[ArcNumber 7]][[ArcNumber 7]][[ArcNumber 7]] Perfects, all in addition to unlocking 2 previous songs. Fortunately, you are rewarded for your efforts with the biggest banger in DRS history. Overdriven basslines back up addictive Garage rhythms and iconic House samples, all culminating with a drop so wonderfully distorted that it sounds like it's trying to break out of the speakers and onto the floor.

In Exuvia, the number 16 (or 7 + 9) has some significance, but is yet another one of the anafabula's schemes.

# Film.{{Nope}}: A subtle example. Jupe says to OJ and Emerald that the Gordy's Home incident took place over 6 minutes and 13 seconds, and in his Star Lasso Experience speech, he says that it was 6:13 p.m. when he first saw the flying saucer. There's also the fact that the film opens on a quote from Nahum 3:6, although that only includes one of the numbers and inverts the order.

# Anime.YuGiOhSevens: SEVENS is obviously associated with the number seven, not only due to it being the seventh main entry in the franchise,specific number, but also because the Duel Disks in "Rush Duel" mode are shaped like a "7". By contrast, Goha Corp has a numerical motif of 6, based on their hexagonal logo, six-infraction limit, use of Number of the Beast in their time limits, the six Tops of Hexagon, and the six Goha Siblings who are the true heads of the company. There's also Goha Dueling Rules Chapter 6666, Article 6, which states that a duel must continue in the event of unpredictable, uncontrollable circumstances which change one duelist's deck, which ends up saving Yuga in his duel against The☆Lukeman.

This is usually related to Something and Mari. In fact, Something does say "SUNNY… I love you…" at a certain point.

Starting with The Usos' claims to be "down since day one", the entire group has adopted the catchphrase "We the ones", along with all members posing with a single finger raised to the sky. The Usos adopted the 3D finisher from The Dudley Boys and renamed it the "1D" (as in "One And Done"), and Solo Sikoa is known as "The One Problem".
# Fridge.FinalFantasyV: The game exemplifies the five elements of Japanese philosophy (Godai) perfectly. Not only are the four elements of Air/Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth present, the Void could also be considered one, as all four crystals kept the Void in check. This is also consistent with the ArcNumber present in the game, as with the Void considered an element, there are five elements.

Angwu says that "the last one hundred and seven people" who came to the Tower of Wisdom were just as annoying as Ajna, implying that she's number 108.

It's the eighth track on their eighth album and its length in minutes (twenty-four) is divisible by 8. Various other elements in the song also allude to cycles and/or the number 8.

# ComicBook.WinterSoldier: 2. Everything happens twice; everyone gets a second chance.Bucky's second chance at life is what inspires him to offer it to others.

RJ takes his second chance at life even when it rejects him. RJ turns down his second chance to kill Bucky. RJ loses his father, Richard, twice. Also, while it's technically Bucky's third solo run, it the second run to be titled only "Winter Soldier".
# WesternAnimation.{{Chaotic}}: The number 7 is a recurring theme throughout the franchise (for example, Chaotic has 7 letters, and "Cothica" is just an anagram of that) and there were supposed to be 7 seasons. There are also 7 Codemasters, and if the first letters of their names are placed in a specific order, they can spell both "Chaotic" and "Cothica", to have a match against a Codemaster, and players need to win in the Codemaster's drome a total of 7 times.

# Literature.ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath: Three, and multiples of three, are a recurring motif of the Kencyrath. Jame: Nearly everything in the Kencyrath comes in threes: The faces of God, the Tyr-ridan, the three times three major houses and temples. The Kencyr creator deity is the Three-Faced God, personifying respectively creation (Torrigon), preservation (Argentiel) and destruction (Regonoreth).

The Kencyrath are sometimes called the Three People because they're made up of three races: Highborn, Kendar and Arrin-ken. Three professional colleges: the Scrollsmen's College, the Priests' College and the Randon College. Multiples of three:Nine [=(3x3)=] great houses whose lords comprise the High Council. Nine temples to the Three-Faced God built across Rathillien. Twenty-seven [=(3x3x3)=] is the age at which a Highborn Kencyr comes of age.
# Series.The100: 100. It's the number of delinquents originally planned to be sent down to earth, the number of slots left in Arkadia in Season 4, and the number of representatives each clan gets to send to the bunker. 12 and 13:The Ark was formed by 12 nations, each corresponding one of its 12 stations. It originaly had 13 stations, but Polaris, the 13th station, was destroyed. The Grounders have 12 clans. Skaikru becomes the 13th. There are 12 Primes. Gabriel, the 13th Prime, defected against them after his "moral awakening".
# DarthWiki.MemoriesOfMagic: ArcNumber - One that's never explained. With the sole exception of episode 7 itself, every episode afterward whose digits added up to 7 impacted the series in some major way. Episodes 52, 70, and 106, most notably.
# YMMV.PuyoPuyo: ThatOneRule: The unspoken limit of [[ArcNumber 24 fully-playable characters]], starting with Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary and continuing through the other 2010s Puyo Puyo games, is far less cute to the fandom than it apparently is to the developers. Puyo Puyo Champions is the most extreme case of this trope upsetting the fanbase, as it trims what the fandom considers major characters in Ecolo and the Klug-Lemres-Feli triangle in order to hit 24 characters. However, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 lacks this rule, as it had 28 characters at launched and ended with 40 when DLC packs stopped being released.
# VideoGame.HatsuneMikuProjectDiva: Separate game packages notwithstanding, Future Tone is also kept roughly up to date with the corresponding Arcade installment via DLC packages that add new Songs, Modules, and EXTRA EXTREME tracks according to the relative Arcade updates.

# Fridge.WildArms4: Brionac loses track of Yulie's whereabouts after the Eulalia is destroyed, but catches up to the party once they reach Platapana Passage. Coincidentally, this is immediately after Jude tells Gawn who they're running from and he takes off. It's likely Gawn tipped them off. Which might explain why he didn't just fight the Kraken back in the Cerulean Tunnel. He knew the party would be passing through there any moment and didn't want to risk blowing his cover. Also some situational irony as to Gawn's fate: He's the mysterious [[ArcNumber 11th]] member and trump card of Brionac, a revelation that helps them finally capture Yulie. He himself gets trumped by Gungnir's [[ArcNumber 11th]] missile where there were only supposed to be 10.

# YMMV.MarathonExpandedUniverse: The Salinger Plank gives us the insidious [=MaserBoBs,=] wielders of the powerful, perfectly-accurate Dangi Maser. If he sees you, you're as good as dead; they're more-or-less the human counterparts to the Enforcers. Luckily, you can pilfer their Masers and the ammo to load it with. Also, interestingly, at least "Core Wars" has significantly fewer [=MaserBoBs=] in Rubicon X than it did in Rubicon. Compared to in Rubicon, where it has something like [[ArcNumber seven]], to the Rubicon X version, where it has two. Unsurprisingly, Dr Sumner cleared out the RX version about eight and a half minutes faster. (The RX version of the level also deleted some 140 polygons for unknown reasons; it's one of several levels that was completely overhauled for the re-release.)

# Webcomic.SweetJadeAndHellaJohn: 616 in a similar manner to 413/612/1025/111 in Homestuck. Arguably, 214 fits this as well. 496 becomes one from the second act onwards. It's thebadge number of ex-agent Odd Todd."beings" that Darkhorse spouted in his "WTF Attack," the number of Vampire Dave's shirt in an alternate universe where John and Jake are dead, and it's the last three digets in the comic's final total page numbernote Though Pikmin Fan has implied adding or even removing pages in the upcoming reversion of the comic.

The leader of the 7th Sisters bears the surname Nanasaki, the studio you work in as the manager is named Three Seven (hence 777☆SISTERS), you have 49note if you either count the Karakuri sisters separately or count Coney in playable characters (that makes 7 to the 2nd power).Comically averted with 7th Sisters actually only having 6 members, alongside Nicole hiding her identity under the surname of Rokusakinote with 'Roku' also meaning 'six'
# TheLegendOfKorra.TropesAToF: The number ten thousand is heavily featured in the "Beginnings" two parters. Wan means ten thousand, and he lived about ten thousand years before Korra. The Harmonic Convergence, a battle between Raava and Vaatu, occurs every ten thousand years. Vaatu boasts that he lived ten thousand lifetimes before humans "crawled out of the mud". And of course, returning from the original series, we have Wan Shi Tong, "he who knows ten thousand things". This has some context. If you're familiar with Taoist philosophy, you'll know that the number ten thousand is used as a shorthand for anything that is too great or numerous to count. In particular, "the ten thousand things" is used to refer to everything that emerged from the duality of Yin and Yang, which is... well, everything.
# Swordfish.VideoGames: Used in all manner of fashions in Fallout 3. The hacking minigame involves educated guesses involving plaintext words (the computer tells you how many letters there are and which ones are right and in the right place, i.e., lets you play Mastermind with the password system), and passwords that get given to you run the gamut from the name of the daughter of the Vault Overseer to a hexadecimal pointer string. The last mission even ends with you inputting a security code that's never told to you outright [[ArcNumber but you've been hearing throughout the storyline]]. Bad Wolf?
# WebVideo.ProjectNewWorld: The number 7 appears throughout the series, key examples being: THEWICKEDSEVEN, journal 4 - lucky number seven, the fact that "journal" has seven letters, and the season one finale being journal 14, which is 7/2.
# VideoGame.KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance: Both 7 and 13. While both numbers have been present in the series up until this point, their full In-Universe significance is finally revealed as they are the number of light and dark fragments, respectively, that are necessary to forge the χ-blade. This is also the seventh game in the series.
# WebVideo.CriticalRoleCampaignTwo: Nine has become one for the whole campaign; starting as a joke when the cast began rolling a disproportionate number of nines, it became an increasingly creepy coincidence as major parts of the story centered around the number nine - including the three eyes each on the three demigods in the Uko'toa arc, the ninth school of magic being dunamancy, and finally the Eyes of Nine being the final boss of the campaign.The group have even taken to calling themselves The Mighty Nein, even though there are only seven of them (six when Yasha is elsewhere). At the end of the campaign the group name is finally fulfilled, with Essek and the revived Molly filling the final two of nine. Interestingly, one of Molly's former names turns out to be "Nonagon"; i.e., a nine-sided polygon. Matt has confirmed on Twitter that he came up with the name Nonagon before nine became the group's arc number.
# Trivia.CesDessinsAnimesLaQuiMeritentQuOnSEnSouvienne: AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Their episode about Legion of Super-Heroes is their 52nd (52 is an ArcNumber for the The DCU). Word of God says that it was an accident.
# Characters.SplatoonPlayableCharacters: StealthPun: You're an Octoling. "Octo" is Latin for 8, with the Octo Expansion campaign [[ArcNumber revolving around this number]], with your name just being the tip of the iceberg.
# Fanfic.FirstFlight: 36. Kerm trees alone are no smarter than a regular tree. However, as a Kerm tree is joined with more Kerm tree cuttings or a kerbal, they become more and more sentient, until they reach 37 or more in total, where they experience a Mind Break without their Keeper by their side. Once they hit 38, their minds begin Shattering, and without the help of a Keeper and two kerbal anchors, will lead to the Kerm becoming fully sapient.
# Fanfic.{{Klaanon}}: The repeating appearances of 6 were initially parodic in nature, as every group in the Bionicle universe seems to automatically have six members. However, recent events considered there might be something more sinister behind this.
# Trivia.TheStanleyParable: MeaningfulReleaseDate: Ultra Deluxe received a final release date of April 27, 2022, which the trailer notes is the same numerals as Stanley's ID number — 427. Also, there are four twos in that date. [[ArcNumber What's two times four?]]
# Music.DareToBeStupid: SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: From "Cable TV," and actually with the number 27 (an ArcNumber for Al): My friends are getting kinda worried, They think I'm turning into some kind of freak. Aw, but they're just jealous, 'cause I've seen Porky's Twenty-seven times this week.
# Film.StarTrekGenerations: Scotty manages to save 47 people. 47 is an arc number in all the modern Star Trek series.
# Literature.GameOfTheGods: Out of universe. Except for the first part, (Which has nine chapters if you include the prologue), each part is divided up into eight chapters. Subverted twice with Parts Nine through Thirteen, as the seventh chapter of each part is noticeably missing.
# WesternAnimation.YoungJusticeOriginalSeries: 16.
# Trivia.{{Petscop}}: MeaningfulReleaseDate: In-game, you can change your mind and return a child to the Child Library up to six months after taking them home. Rainer also went missing between June and December of 1997 and 2000, a period of six months. According to the channel description, the owners received the game on Christmas Day from Rainer. Petscop 11 was uploaded on Christmas 2017, six months after Petscop 10.Episodes 22, 23 and 24, which all featured the prominent [[ArcNumber number set of 9 2 19]], came out on September 2nd, 2019 at 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time... or 9/2/2019.
# ComicBook.WinterSoldier: 2. Everything happens twice; everyone gets a second chance.Bucky's second chance at life is what inspires him to offer it to others. The timeskip between issue one and two is two weeks. After that there's no timeskip. Bucky meets with two clients before the plot kicks off. Bucky needs to replace his metal arm twice. RJ takes his second chance at life even when it rejects him. RJ turns down his second chance to kill Bucky. RJ loses his father, Richard, twice. Also, while it's technically Bucky's third solo run, it the second run to be titled only "Winter Soldier".
# WesternAnimation.{{Chaotic}}: The number 7 is a recurring theme throughout the franchise (for example, Chaotic has 7 letters, and "Cothica" is just an anagram of that) and there were supposed to be 7 seasons. There are also 7 Codemasters, and if the first letters of their names are placed in a specific order, they can spell both "Chaotic" and "Cothica", to have a match against a Codemaster, and players need to win in the Codemaster's drome a total of 7 times. The symbol for Mugic is a heptagon which has 7 sides, and all Mugic abilities play a 7 note melody upon activation.
# Literature.ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath: Three, and multiples of three, are a recurring motif of the Kencyrath. Jame: Nearly everything in the Kencyrath comes in threes: The faces of God, the Tyr-ridan, the three times three major houses and temples. The Kencyr creator deity is the Three-Faced God, personifying respectively creation (Torrigon), preservation (Argentiel) and destruction (Regonoreth). The Tyr-ridan and three Objects of Power are each aligned with one of the faces too. The Kencyrath are sometimes called the Three People because they're made up of three races: Highborn, Kendar and Arrin-ken. Three professional colleges: the Scrollsmen's College, the Priests' College and the Randon College. Multiples of three:Nine [=(3x3)=] great houses whose lords comprise the High Council. Nine temples to the Three-Faced God built across Rathillien. Twenty-seven [=(3x3x3)=] is the age at which a Highborn Kencyr comes of age.
# Series.The100: 100. It's the number of delinquents originally planned to be sent down to earth, the number of slots left in Arkadia in Season 4, and the number of representatives each clan gets to send to the bunker. 12 and 13:The Ark was formed by 12 nations, each corresponding one of its 12 stations. It originaly had 13 stations, but Polaris, the 13th station, was destroyed. The Grounders have 12 clans. Skaikru becomes the 13th. There are 12 Primes. Gabriel, the 13th Prime, defected against them after his "moral awakening".
# DarthWiki.MemoriesOfMagic: ArcNumber - One that's never explained. With the sole exception of episode 7 itself, every episode afterward whose digits added up to 7 impacted the series in some major way. Episodes 52, 70, and 106, most notably.
# YMMV.PuyoPuyo: ThatOneRule: The unspoken limit of [[ArcNumber 24 fully-playable characters]], starting with Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary and continuing through the other 2010s Puyo Puyo games, is far less cute to the fandom than it apparently is to the developers. Puyo Puyo Champions is the most extreme case of this trope upsetting the fanbase, as it trims what the fandom considers major characters in Ecolo and the Klug-Lemres-Feli triangle in order to hit 24 characters. However, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 lacks this rule, as it had 28 characters at launched and ended with 40 when DLC packs stopped being released.
# VideoGame.HatsuneMikuProjectDiva: Separate game packages notwithstanding, Future Tone is also kept roughly up to date with the corresponding Arcade installment via DLC packages that add new Songs, Modules, and EXTRA EXTREME tracks according to the relative Arcade updates. In addition to separate availability, you can also purchase the Season Pass for [[ArcNumber 3900 yen]], which not only grants access to all upcoming content, but also includes a set of 40 avatars for your [=PlayStation=] Network account.
# Fridge.WildArms4: Brionac loses track of Yulie's whereabouts after the Eulalia is destroyed, but catches up to the party once they reach Platapana Passage. Coincidentally, this is immediately after Jude tells Gawn who they're running from and he takes off. It's likely Gawn tipped them off. Which might explain why he didn't just fight the Kraken back in the Cerulean Tunnel. He knew the party would be passing through there any moment and didn't want to risk blowing his cover. Also some situational irony as to Gawn's fate: He's the mysterious [[ArcNumber 11th]] member and trump card of Brionac, a revelation that helps them finally capture Yulie. He himself gets trumped by Gungnir's [[ArcNumber 11th]] missile where there were only supposed to be 10.
# Manga.BlackParadox: The four friends' reasons for committing suicide all circle around duality.
# Music.HedPE: The band often refers to the year 2012, and draws lyrical themes from various theories surrounding the year.
# Characters.
#
# Music.{{Homestuck}}: Savior of the Waking World (featured here, on the [[ArcNumber 612th]] day of Homestuck)
# Webcomic.EnnuiGo: 049. It first shows up as the title of a strip referring to how many "magic mushrooms" Izzy ate, then in a horoscope reading, and in a much later strip (7/29/17, NSFW) Len calls them "the mystical numerals" during a blood ritual.
# YMMV.MarathonExpandedUniverse: The Salinger Plank gives us the insidious [=MaserBoBs,=] wielders of the powerful, perfectly-accurate Dangi Maser. If he sees you, you're as good as dead; they're more-or-less the human counterparts to the Enforcers. Luckily, you can pilfer their Masers and the ammo to load it with. Also, interestingly, at least "Core Wars" has significantly fewer [=MaserBoBs=] in Rubicon X than it did in Rubicon. Compared to in Rubicon, where it has something like [[ArcNumber seven]], to the Rubicon X version, where it has two. Unsurprisingly, Dr Sumner cleared out the RX version about eight and a half minutes faster. (The RX version of the level also deleted some 140 polygons for unknown reasons; it's one of several levels that was completely overhauled for the re-release.)
# Literature.ACompanyOfLiars: Nine, according to Narigorm.
# SelfDemonstrating.{{Spamton}}: EVERY !! KNOWS SPAMTON G. SPAMTONS”S [=ARc=] NUMBER IS [[Prices You Can Afford]] OF MY FAVORITE [=YEAR1997!=]
# Recap.Naomi2022S1E4Enigma: "29" pops up again.
# Film.CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger: 70 crops up somewhat often.
# Film.{{Pi}}: Rather than just being a motif, it's the driver of the plot — a 216-digit number that can do anything from predict the stock market to revealing the true name of God.
# WMG.OctopathTraveler: In keeping with 8 as the ArcNumber. Alternatively, August 8, 2018, making it 08/08/18.
# Recap.PersonOfInterestS04E10: Pi is used as the combination to the secret entrance.
# Characters.SCPFoundationOther: UnwittingPawn: SCP-5317 suggests he may be serving the function and/or goals of the anafabula or an entity related to it without his knowledge. This allows them to wreak untold destruction much more efficiently than he can while the Scarlet King himself remains none the wiser, thinking that the ArcNumber seven and the role of embodying chaos are his, when in reality, he's nothing but a Red Herring doomed to be resealed again and again while the anafabula rampages across the infinite narrative sandwich.
# Characters.EnterTheArenaAsYourAvatarNeutralAndIndependentCharacters: AllAccordingToPlan: Turns out, the heroes helping Mr. Pew Pew/Skippy Wildgrin ended up playing directly into the Chairman's backup plan - forging the χ-blade, using the shards of light and darkness produced by a total of [[ArcNumber 13]] boss battles including the first half of his own final battle, to unmake and restart the Tooniverse.
# Film.JeepersCreepers: Twenty-three. The Creeper only comes out every twenty-three years for twenty-three days to eat.
# Creator.HarryTurtledove: His books all have twenty chapters.
# Memes.{{Homestuck}}: On 4chan's /co/ board, due to the massive amount of shipping and general threads, "HOMOSUCK IS SHIT" has evolved into an all-around catchphrase for anything that's too invasive or clutters up the board.HOMOSUCK became canon on [[ArcNumber 6/12/13]]
# Exalted.TropesAToH: The number five pops up every so often.
# VideoGame.{{Observation}}: Six. Six crew members, six sides to a hexagon, six magnets in the EFR, six additional stations.
# Trivia.PuyoPuyoFever: MeaningfulReleaseDate: The various ports were released on the 24th of a month, since 24 is the Goroawase Number for "Puyo" and the series' ArcNumber.
# MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.TropesAToB: The number six has great importance throughout the show. There are six Elements of Harmony, distributed among six friends. In Season 4, there are six Friendship Keys. In Season 7, the Mane Six's predecessors are the six Pillars of Equestria. And by Season 8, there are six main students at the Friendship Academy.
# WebVideo.ArbyNTheChief: Every time you see a clock, it will either display 3:43, 13:37 or digits that will add up to 7 (which is a reference to Bungie).
# Recap.PersonOfInterestS04E19: 314 (pi), as the briefcase combination.
# Characters.HomestuckTheFelt: He is numbered 12, Biscuits is numbered 13, and both make their first appearances in the Intermission at 12:13, as indicated by the giant clock on the safe door.
# Characters.ACertainMagicalIndexMagicOther: Without knowing it, she used the Christian 3 on Gungnir.
# Music.{{Mili}}: The number 617 appears multiple times in Mili's lyrics:In [="Ga1ahad=] and Scientific Witchery" the Witch describes Page 617 as dealing with "scientific witchery." In "Summoning 101", the book the magician compiles over her life spent searching for her lost companion has 617 pages, possibly placing the song as prequel to [="Ga1ahad". In=] "Salt, Pepper, Birds and the Thought Police", the narrator is arrested for violating Act 617: Illegal Thoughts.
# Webcomic.SweetJadeAndHellaJohn: 616 in a similar manner to 413/612/1025/111 in Homestuck. Arguably, 214 fits this as well. 496 becomes one from the second act onwards. It's the
# Music.InExtremo: 7. There are seven band members, their logo is a heptagram, they call themselves the seven vagrants and their seventh album is simply called 7.See also Rule of Seven
# Theatre.{{Macbeth}}: 3. Three witches, three murderers, twenty-seven (three cubed) scenes, et cetera.
# AvengersEndgame.TropesAToC: 47, a recurring one for the MCU films as a whole. This time it's Bunker E-47 at Camp Lehigh that Steve and Tony have to infiltrate, to retrieve the Tesseract and a supply of Pym particles.
# VideoGame.TokyoSeventhSisters: 7. The leader of the 7th Sisters bears the surname Nanasaki, the studio you work in as the manager is named Three Seven (hence 777☆SISTERS), you have 49note if you either count the Karakuri sisters separately or count Coney in playable characters (that makes 7 to the 2nd power).Comically averted with 7th Sisters actually only having 6 members, alongside Nicole hiding her identity under the surname of Rokusakinote with 'Roku' also meaning 'six'
# TheLegendOfKorra.TropesAToF: The number ten thousand is heavily featured in the "Beginnings" two parters. Wan means ten thousand, and he lived about ten thousand years before Korra. The Harmonic Convergence, a battle between Raava and Vaatu, occurs every ten thousand years. Vaatu boasts that he lived ten thousand lifetimes before humans "crawled out of the mud". And of course, returning from the original series, we have Wan Shi Tong, "he who knows ten thousand things". This has some context. If you're familiar with Taoist philosophy, you'll know that the number ten thousand is used as a shorthand for anything that is too great or numerous to count. In particular, "the ten thousand things" is used to refer to everything that emerged from the duality of Yin and Yang, which is... well, everything.
# Swordfish.VideoGames: Used in all manner of fashions in Fallout 3. The hacking minigame involves educated guesses involving plaintext words (the computer tells you how many letters there are and which ones are right and in the right place, i.e., lets you play Mastermind with the password system), and passwords that get given to you run the gamut from the name of the daughter of the Vault Overseer to a hexadecimal pointer string. The last mission even ends with you inputting a security code that's never told to you outright [[ArcNumber but you've been hearing throughout the storyline]]. Bad Wolf?
# WebVideo.ProjectNewWorld: The number 7 appears throughout the series, key examples being: THEWICKEDSEVEN, journal 4 - lucky number seven, the fact that "journal" has seven letters, and the season one finale being journal 14, which is 7/2.
# VideoGame.KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance: Both 7 and 13. While both numbers have been present in the series up until this point, their full In-Universe significance is finally revealed as they are the number of light and dark fragments, respectively, that are necessary to forge the χ-blade. This is also the seventh game in the series.
# WebVideo.CriticalRoleCampaignTwo: Nine has become one for the whole campaign; starting as a joke when the cast began rolling a disproportionate number of nines, it became an increasingly creepy coincidence as major parts of the story centered around the number nine - including the three eyes each on the three demigods in the Uko'toa arc, the ninth school of magic being dunamancy, and finally the Eyes of Nine being the final boss of the campaign.The group have even taken to calling themselves The Mighty Nein, even though there are only seven of them (six when Yasha is elsewhere). At the end of the campaign the group name is finally fulfilled, with Essek and the revived Molly filling the final two of nine. Interestingly, one of Molly's former names turns out to be "Nonagon"; i.e., a nine-sided polygon. Matt has confirmed on Twitter that he came up with the name Nonagon before nine became the group's arc number.
# Trivia.CesDessinsAnimesLaQuiMeritentQuOnSEnSouvienne: AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Their episode about Legion of Super-Heroes is their 52nd (52 is an ArcNumber for the The DCU). Word of God says that it was an accident.
# Characters.SplatoonPlayableCharacters: StealthPun: You're an Octoling. "Octo" is Latin for 8, with the Octo Expansion campaign [[ArcNumber revolving around this number]], with your name just being the tip of the iceberg.
# Fanfic.FirstFlight: 36. Kerm trees alone are no smarter than a regular tree. However, as a Kerm tree is joined with more Kerm tree cuttings or a kerbal, they become more and more sentient, until they reach 37 or more in total, where they experience a Mind Break without their Keeper by their side. Once they hit 38, their minds begin Shattering, and without the help of a Keeper and two kerbal anchors, will lead to the Kerm becoming fully sapient.
# Fanfic.{{Klaanon}}: The repeating appearances of 6 were initially parodic in nature, as every group in the Bionicle universe seems to automatically have six members. However, recent events considered there might be something more sinister behind this.
# Trivia.TheStanleyParable: MeaningfulReleaseDate: Ultra Deluxe received a final release date of April 27, 2022, which the trailer notes is the same numerals as Stanley's ID number — 427. Also, there are four twos in that date. [[ArcNumber What's two times four?]]
# Music.DareToBeStupid: SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: From "Cable TV," and actually with the number 27 (an ArcNumber for Al): My friends are getting kinda worried, They think I'm turning into some kind of freak. Aw, but they're just jealous, 'cause I've seen Porky's Twenty-seven times this week.
Changed line(s) 50,102 (click to see context) from:
# Characters.RiseOfTheRocketsMajorAntagonists: Despite currently only being seen in silhouette form, several of these creatures appear to possess similarities to characters/monsters from other series.010 is an almost spot-on rendition of Blossomon. Likewise, 005 bears some resemblance to the D-Reaper's "Searcher" Type. Missing No. itself is heavily based off of the D-Reaper as a whole. 013, fittingly enough, resembles the Dusk Nobodies. 021 is a tall, thin, and bald humanoid figure. 024 was explicitly designed with Weeping Angels in mind. 043 resembles the Dancer-Type Shadows from the Persona series, while 045 appears to take some design inspiration from Persona 3's Arcana Lovers.
# FalloutNewVegas.TropesAToB: 21. Your first jumpsuit and the doctor who saved you from death and gives it to you is from Vault 21, when captured in the Dead Money DLC you are actually Collar 21, Festus calls it the "magic number", although that's more about his variant of Blackjack than anything else, and lastly should you be supporting an Independent Vegas, Ulysses will give you a duster emblazoned with a 21 at the end of Lonesome Road. Considering where the game takes place, this isn't exactly unwarranted.
# Recap.BlackMirrorHangTheDJ: "The System" boasts that it's able to find "the perfect match" with 99.8% probability. It turns out this number comes from when couples within a simulation disobey the instructions of The System. After running 1000 simulations, Frank and Amy break away 998 times out of 1000. This generates the percentage, and we see the real Frank and Amy about to meet at the end. Every time Amy skips a rock on the lake it skips exactly four times, never more or less. This extends to even when she skips the Coach box on the surface of the pool.
# VideoGame.MerryGearSolid: Your Mission Control in both games has the codec frequency of 12.25.
# Music.NineteenEightyNine: Swift's favorite number, 13, appears as the number of tracks on the album.
# Memes.Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers: "He said Zero"Explanation (Genesis Arc spoilers) With the possibility that SMG0 could come Back from the Dead or simply that his story isn't over yet, fans are quick to jump the gun whenever a new character mentions the number "zero" and when they find deliberately searched for clues in their names or designs that they're related to the number "zero", effectively making them a "candidate" for a possible Zero follower or Zero's reincarnation. This eventually resulted in lots of parodies from people tired of incessant theorizing. The theorists were right... almost.
# YMMV.YuGiOhVRAINS: Yu-Gi-Oh! Try for the series itself, mainly for its Tag Line and ArcNumber being a recurring theme.
# BrownNote.SCPFoundation: SCP-1423 is a Polaroid photograph from the summer of 1976. After holding the picture, the viewer will begin vividly reminiscing over their last summer vacation from high school, eventually leading to an obsession. They attempt to recreate and improve upon the original memories to their dismay, eventually cataloging discrepancies in their recurring dreams about it. The Foundation retrieved the photo from ███ Lee █████, a survivor and absent member of SCP-332’s first performance. Lee genuinely was looking at a picture of himself, trying to regain his memories from his last run-in with the Foundation.
# SquidGame.TropesJToZ: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Anime.FiveCentimetersPerSecond: Five, in the form of "Five X per Y". First said by Akari in the first act as "five centimeters per second", the speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, then said by Kanae in the second act as "five kilometers per hour" regarding the speed of a massive transporter for a rocket that shows up later. It connects the two main girls in Takaki's life, and judging by his surprised reaction to the second use, the link might not have escaped him either.
# Roleplay.FifteenStrangers: The number 15, of course, as there are always 15 Strangers.
# Manga.TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK: Parodied. Saiki starts seeing and hearing the number 100 everywhere. It turns out to be because it's the manga's 100th chapter.
# Sandbox.{{Coemedypink}}: 1629. "16" represents the year 2016, while "29" represents February 29th. These numbers correlate to Spirit Phone'snote The album where "Touch-Tone Telephone" comes from release.
# Series.TheGruenTransfer: 25814062, the number used in the barcode that makes up part of the show's logo. If there's any significance/reason to it, we won't be finding it out anytime soon.
# VideoGame.{{Sdorica}}: PowerTrio: Keeping with Sunset's ArcNumber, part 1 characters tend to come in threes. The bandit trio, the Maple Lake trio, the starter trio and the army trio, to name a few.In Mirage, Sophie, Elio and Rune form their own Power Trio. Later on, Clark replaces Elio.
# ComicBook.FantasticFour: Sue Storm is the poster girl for Took a Level in Badass precisely because of this trope. In the original comics, she had a more passive role, often playing the Damsel in Distress. The writers gave her invisibility powers a force field aspect to make her more active and useful, other writers gave her more creative ways to use them, and now "lil Suzie" is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, period. Notably, she can deal out all four main manners of death this trope describes: cutting, crushing, popping, and internal blockage.
# VideoGame.SuperMarioBros35: 35, befitting the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. There are 35 players in a match, you start with 35 seconds of time in a normal 35-Player Battlenote with some exceptions: e.g. opening with 1-3 starts with 50 seconds, and should you be lucky enough to open with 8-3 you get 80, and Special Battles frequently have 35 of something (such as starting with 35 coins).
# Literature.HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban: 13; Harry turns thirteen years old at the start of the novel, Sirius Black supposedly murdered thirteen people, and during the Christmas feast, thirteen people are seated together until Professor Trelawney arrives and lampshades that 13 Is Unlucky.
# Recap.InsideNo9S5E4Misdirection: The opening scene takes place nine years before the rest of the episode.
# Creator.ValveCorporation: For some bizarre reason, Valve is continually stuck on 2. None of their series ever seem to reach a game with "3" in the name, even though a couple have already included more than two games. (Thus spawning the meme "Valve can't count to three!") Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Manchester United 0. They even made a second game for a series they didn't start.Gets even funnier when they decided to skip three and go straight to four. Not to mention they were on their second Game Engine, the increasingly dated Source engine, for about 11 years. Its successor debuting in a 2015 Dota 2 update bears the incredibly creative name "Source 2".
# WebAnimation.{{Nijisanji}}: GoroawaseNumber: 2434 for Nijisanji itself is practically an ArcNumber. A few of the livers' Twitter accounts also use this, such as Yashiro Kizuku (@846kizuQ), Genzuki Tojiro (@1O46V), and Nishizono Chigusa (@Chigusa_24zono). Goroawase numbers for other livers show up occasionally in streams or as donation amounts, such as 310 for Mito and 108 for Touya.
# Characters.GameGrumpsMadeUp: 677 appears twice which makes Jon suspect there is some kind of conspiracy going on.
# Newsletter.News202105: March 10th. April 13th. May 4th. These may be unremarkable dates to the general public, but if you're a Super Mario Bros. fan, a Homestuck fan, or a Star Wars fan respectively, you may recognize them as holidays. Pop Culture Holiday is a YMMV item that launched in March to record the dates that fandoms — and sometimes even the creators themselves — hold significant. Whether it's the work's release date, an ArcNumber, a character's birthday, a punny number, or just a date mentioned in the work that became a meme, this page serves as your unofficial calendar to those days of the year.
# DarthWiki.CorruptCrossover: 53. The significance? Unknown.
# Franchise.AssassinsCreed: 9.Altaïr kills nine men for Al Mualim, Ezio assassinates Savonarola's nine lieutenants during the Bonfire of the Vanities and Brotherhood, Revelations and Syndicate have nine sequences. Jacques de Molay entrusts all the Templar knowledge with 9 men in order to rebuild the Order. 72 in Brotherhood, which is divisible by 9. The average number of main targets to be killed by the Assassins across all the games is also 9. Of the members of the Order of Ancients in Origins, Bayek personally kills 9 in the main game. The Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order always has nine members. The Cult of Kosmos's "inner circle," so to speak, is composed of 9 members; the 7 Sages, Deimos, and the Ghost of Kosmos. The number is emphasized in many ways throughout Valhalla, mostly through its multiple occurrences in Norse mythology.

# Recap.NightmareTimeS1E1TheHatchetfieldApeManAndWatcherWorld: Bill's ordeal at the "Test Your Strength" Game is a hilariously classic example of this trope, with Bill getting so mad that he can't seem to make the puck move at all — with everyone taunting him and questioning his manhood the whole time — that he puts an open tab on his credit card to keep on hitting the machine until he wins, spending four hundred dollars on it (at $2/try) when, as the Barker points out in a Call-Back to Black Friday, "the dolls are on sale at the gift shop for $49.95". Then Bill hits the Rage Breaking Point and finally does win the game, and the experience seems to have changed him, and his anger is no longer very funny at all...
# Music.BoardsOfCanada: 70. "Sixtyten" is based on how "70" is said in French. Geogaddi features a song called "The Smallest Weird Number," which happens to be 70 (the song is also exactly 70 seconds long). Before being signed to Warp, they were on their own independent label called Music70, which is still co-credited as the label on BoC albums.By extension, 69 (despite its usual connotations) is another number which appears frequently in their song titles. "Sixtyniner," "1969" and "June 9th," which would be written in numbers as '6-9'.
# WebVideo.TheMonumentMythos: Three. The United States is split up into three zones, the Special Tree told Virginia three times to return in three years, the Special Tree seen in WASHINGTONWORMHOLE has three tips on the top of it, the Tree in ROCKEFELLERTREETRAGEDY took three years to dig up, the Libertylurker is ultimately known by three different names, Leonard Morlin discovered after three days that the United States had been absorbed and replaced by Alcatraz, and in ancient mythology, three World Eggs were created and three serpents tricked three men into helping them attain godhood.
# Recap.FringeS03E02TheBox: The box activates in the subway station at 6:02.
# WebAnimation.RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy: invoked 57. "Manticore Blues," Freckles' main theme during this story arc, is 57 seconds long. The Basebook pic of Freckles wearing a silly hat in Season 11 was 57% uploaded by the time Tucker destroyed the computer. In Season 12, Caboose says his lucky numbers are 5 and 7, "and don't forget them!" The number is seen in the first episode of Season 13 as the percentage of both damage the Pelican has taken and the likelihood of Carolina neglecting their allies in a fight. In Episode 2 of Season 13, Grif states that Matthews has thanked him 56 times right before Matthews proceeds to thank him again. Finally, counting both parts of "Armonia" as one episode, the trilogy is 57 episodes long. Amusingly, after the story arc was concluded, Miles Luna and Burnie Burns revealed in an interview that it was all just an incredibly lucky coincidence that they decided to just run with to Troll the fans.
# VideoGame.BillyVsSnakeman: Final Boss The Portal of Awesome, which includes Stephen Colbert, Gary Gygax, Shigeru Miyamoto, Optimus Prime, Chuck Norris, Billy Mays, and William Shatner. The 11-Tailed Fox is the Final Boss of r00t. The original final boss was dependent on your initial bloodline and was encountered at the end of the Jonin Exam.
# Characters.AGameOfGodsNPCs: The squad is composed of seven soldiers when they first appear.
# Recap.EdEddNEddyS3E20EdPassItOn: Sarah and Jimmy wear a vest with the number 62 on it as part of their Eddy's Brother disguise. This is the same shirt he wears when we finally see him in the series finale.
# Literature.HarounAndTheSeaOfStories: 11. After Haroun's mother, Soraya, leaves for Mr. Sengupta, Haroun is only able to concentrate on anything for eleven minutes, as 11:00 was when his mother left.
# Swordfish.LiveActionTV: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Homestuck.TropesAToL: Alternians measure time in "solar sweeps" rather than years; one solar sweep, at least as far as age is concerned, is equal to two point sixteen repeating years. (And two solar sweeps equals four and one-third years!)
# Fanfic.FirstFlight: 36. Kerm trees alone are no smarter than a regular tree. However, as a Kerm tree is joined with more Kerm tree cuttings or a kerbal, they become more and more sentient, until they reach 37 or more in total, where they experience a Mind Break without their Keeper by their side. Once they hit 38, their minds begin Shattering, and without the help of a Keeper and two kerbal anchors, will lead to the Kerm becoming fully sapient.
# YMMV.FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld: Probably the biggest example of this for the FNaF series at the time. The reception of the game regarding this trope was bad when it was new on Steam, although this is again because Scott released the game a bit too early. That being said, by the time Scott pulled it, the game's rating was (oddly enough) 87%. By this point, Update 2 changed the overall game, and reception was much better.
# Characters.YuGiOhRushDuel: All members of the series so far are Level 7 monsters, and generally require Level 7 monsters as part of their effects in one way or another.
# Film.BladeRunner2049: "06-10-21". It's the day that the child of Deckard and Rachael was born and the date of death for Rachael.
# Film.Shazam2019: Seven comes up a lot throughout the film.The Seven Deadly Sins, obviously. The Council of Seven Wizards and their seven thrones. By the end of the film, we have been exposed to seven Champions, Billy and his five siblings as well as the Fallen Champion There are seven symbols needed to enter the Rock of Eternity and it must be repeated seven times. When Billy, as Shazam, and Freddy went to a home realtor office to try to purchase a lair, the realtor asks how many rooms they'll need. Billy wants one room while Freddy wants seven. When Billy meets his mother at her apartment, she lives on the seventh floor and her room number is 707. Mister Mind mentions the Seven Realms to Sivana. Meta example: the film happens to be the seventh DCEU film to be released.
# Series.ThePentaverate: Five. The organization is called the PENTAverate (Penta meaning five). To hammer it home, Mike Myers created an Instagram account and in the FIVE days leading up to the first trailer’s release, posted FIVE pictures relating to the number FIVE (Five Guys Burgers and Fries, five dollars, etc.) The trailer dropped on March 16 at 5:55 A.M. and the series premiered on May 5.
# VideoGame.PlanescapeTorment: The Rule of Three, a staple of the Planescape setting. Used subtly for the most part, however. An early discussion about this makes the point that the rule is self-reinforcing for cosmological reasons and that obsessing about it just means seeing it where it's not relevant, real or not.
# SequelHook.VideoGames: Arkham Knight features a version of the Wayne Manor Predator map from Batman: Arkham City with a piano that can open a panel and a case Bruce seems to be working on, one where he suspects a murder victim knew their killer and the number 4-25. At first, it seemed like a case of Trolling Creator as on April 25, 2016, Rocksteady celebrated the 75th Anniversary of The Joker's debut, but it also foreshadows Batman: Arkham VR, which is about Bruce having a nightmare about a Jokerized version of himself killing Nightwing and features 4-25 as an ArcNumber.
# Anime.YumeNoCrayonOukoku: 12. Princesses of the Crayon Kingdom are expected to perform the mirror-viewing ritual when they all become 12, Silver has twelve flaws to work through, and she carries a summoning trinket that contains 12 vegetable companions. Later on it's revealed that the Crayon Kingdom can only hold on for one year (twelve months) without everything being thrown into chaos.
# Myth.MandeMythology: 8. Eight ancestors, eight primordial seeds, eight lands first settled.7. Seven represents the complete androgynous being. Three earrings were worn on the right ear representing the male (penis and two testicles), four were worn on the left indicating the female (vaginal lips). Faro crafted the seven heavens to correspond with the seven waters and seven parts of the earth. The first men and women gave each other tribal scars on the face according to gender: 3 for men, 4 for women.
# Music.InRainbows: 10. In Rainbows has ten letters, the album has ten tracks, tens are prominent in album artwork and promo material, and it was announced ten days before release.It was released ten years after OK Computer, which makes some believe that the two are companion albums. The record was announced on October 1st and came out on the 10th. Then there is the 01 and 10 playlist. It sounds even better if you set a 10 second crossfade on your player.
# Webcomic.CoolAndNewWebComic: 413 as usual, though the date loses its significance since Jhon's birthday is never stated and the comic started on April 10th. Lampshaded by the narrator, who keeps making "geddit?" comments whenever it and other numbers from Homestuck are brought up.
# VideoGame.BlushBlush: Played for laughs, as it's 69.Marshmallow's employee number in the zoo is #69247, or 69 24/7. Anon needs 69 of two different gifts while romancing him. 69 is a potential answer to Reece's math question, along with 42.
# VideoGame.ResidentEvil7Biohazard: In the Beginning Hour demo, the number of sightings of the ghost girl is 7. There are 7 voodoo dolls hanging from the ceiling in the small cupboard. The number of mannequins scattered around the house is also 7.
# Music.HedPE: The band often refers to the year 2012, and draws lyrical themes from various theories surrounding the year.
# VideoGame.MichaelJordanChaosInTheWindyCity: "23", fittingly, since it was Jordan's playing number for the majority of his basketball career, with some rare exceptions.note He wore #9 during his Olympic stints, and very briefly wore #12 in 1990 because of someone stealing his jersey right before a game. When Jordan un-retired a few months after Windy City's release, his usual #23 had been retired, and thus wore #45 for a while; before reverting back to #23 permanently. The "23" hoop makes time freeze, and '23' Icons are extra lives.
# FalloutNewVegas.TropesAToB: 21. Your first jumpsuit and the doctor who saved you from death and gives it to you is from Vault 21, when captured in the Dead Money DLC you are actually Collar 21, Festus calls it the "magic number", although that's more about his variant of Blackjack than anything else, and lastly should you be supporting an Independent Vegas, Ulysses will give you a duster emblazoned with a 21 at the end of Lonesome Road. Considering where the game takes place, this isn't exactly unwarranted.
# Recap.BlackMirrorHangTheDJ: "The System" boasts that it's able to find "the perfect match" with 99.8% probability. It turns out this number comes from when couples within a simulation disobey the instructions of The System. After running 1000 simulations, Frank and Amy break away 998 times out of 1000. This generates the percentage, and we see the real Frank and Amy about to meet at the end. Every time Amy skips a rock on the lake it skips exactly four times, never more or less. This extends to even when she skips the Coach box on the surface of the pool.
# VideoGame.MerryGearSolid: Your Mission Control in both games has the codec frequency of 12.25.
# Music.NineteenEightyNine: Swift's favorite number, 13, appears as the number of tracks on the album.
# Memes.Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers: "He said Zero"Explanation (Genesis Arc spoilers) With the possibility that SMG0 could come Back from the Dead or simply that his story isn't over yet, fans are quick to jump the gun whenever a new character mentions the number "zero" and when they find deliberately searched for clues in their names or designs that they're related to the number "zero", effectively making them a "candidate" for a possible Zero follower or Zero's reincarnation. This eventually resulted in lots of parodies from people tired of incessant theorizing. The theorists were right... almost.
# YMMV.YuGiOhVRAINS: Yu-Gi-Oh! Try for the series itself, mainly for its Tag Line and ArcNumber being a recurring theme.
# BrownNote.SCPFoundation: SCP-1423 is a Polaroid photograph from the summer of 1976. After holding the picture, the viewer will begin vividly reminiscing over their last summer vacation from high school, eventually leading to an obsession. They attempt to recreate and improve upon the original memories to their dismay, eventually cataloging discrepancies in their recurring dreams about it. The Foundation retrieved the photo from ███ Lee █████, a survivor and absent member of SCP-332’s first performance. Lee genuinely was looking at a picture of himself, trying to regain his memories from his last run-in with the Foundation.
# SquidGame.TropesJToZ: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Anime.FiveCentimetersPerSecond: Five, in the form of "Five X per Y". First said by Akari in the first act as "five centimeters per second", the speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, then said by Kanae in the second act as "five kilometers per hour" regarding the speed of a massive transporter for a rocket that shows up later. It connects the two main girls in Takaki's life, and judging by his surprised reaction to the second use, the link might not have escaped him either.
# Roleplay.FifteenStrangers: The number 15, of course, as there are always 15 Strangers.
# Manga.TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK: Parodied. Saiki starts seeing and hearing the number 100 everywhere. It turns out to be because it's the manga's 100th chapter.
# Sandbox.{{Coemedypink}}: 1629. "16" represents the year 2016, while "29" represents February 29th. These numbers correlate to Spirit Phone'snote The album where "Touch-Tone Telephone" comes from release.
# Series.TheGruenTransfer: 25814062, the number used in the barcode that makes up part of the show's logo. If there's any significance/reason to it, we won't be finding it out anytime soon.
# VideoGame.{{Sdorica}}: PowerTrio: Keeping with Sunset's ArcNumber, part 1 characters tend to come in threes. The bandit trio, the Maple Lake trio, the starter trio and the army trio, to name a few.In Mirage, Sophie, Elio and Rune form their own Power Trio. Later on, Clark replaces Elio.
# ComicBook.FantasticFour: Sue Storm is the poster girl for Took a Level in Badass precisely because of this trope. In the original comics, she had a more passive role, often playing the Damsel in Distress. The writers gave her invisibility powers a force field aspect to make her more active and useful, other writers gave her more creative ways to use them, and now "lil Suzie" is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, period. Notably, she can deal out all four main manners of death this trope describes: cutting, crushing, popping, and internal blockage.
# VideoGame.SuperMarioBros35: 35, befitting the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. There are 35 players in a match, you start with 35 seconds of time in a normal 35-Player Battlenote with some exceptions: e.g. opening with 1-3 starts with 50 seconds, and should you be lucky enough to open with 8-3 you get 80, and Special Battles frequently have 35 of something (such as starting with 35 coins).
# Literature.HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban: 13; Harry turns thirteen years old at the start of the novel, Sirius Black supposedly murdered thirteen people, and during the Christmas feast, thirteen people are seated together until Professor Trelawney arrives and lampshades that 13 Is Unlucky.
# Recap.InsideNo9S5E4Misdirection: The opening scene takes place nine years before the rest of the episode.
# Creator.ValveCorporation: For some bizarre reason, Valve is continually stuck on 2. None of their series ever seem to reach a game with "3" in the name, even though a couple have already included more than two games. (Thus spawning the meme "Valve can't count to three!") Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Manchester United 0. They even made a second game for a series they didn't start.Gets even funnier when they decided to skip three and go straight to four. Not to mention they were on their second Game Engine, the increasingly dated Source engine, for about 11 years. Its successor debuting in a 2015 Dota 2 update bears the incredibly creative name "Source 2".
# WebAnimation.{{Nijisanji}}: GoroawaseNumber: 2434 for Nijisanji itself is practically an ArcNumber. A few of the livers' Twitter accounts also use this, such as Yashiro Kizuku (@846kizuQ), Genzuki Tojiro (@1O46V), and Nishizono Chigusa (@Chigusa_24zono). Goroawase numbers for other livers show up occasionally in streams or as donation amounts, such as 310 for Mito and 108 for Touya.
# Characters.GameGrumpsMadeUp: 677 appears twice which makes Jon suspect there is some kind of conspiracy going on.
# Newsletter.News202105: March 10th. April 13th. May 4th. These may be unremarkable dates to the general public, but if you're a Super Mario Bros. fan, a Homestuck fan, or a Star Wars fan respectively, you may recognize them as holidays. Pop Culture Holiday is a YMMV item that launched in March to record the dates that fandoms — and sometimes even the creators themselves — hold significant. Whether it's the work's release date, an ArcNumber, a character's birthday, a punny number, or just a date mentioned in the work that became a meme, this page serves as your unofficial calendar to those days of the year.
# DarthWiki.CorruptCrossover: 53. The significance? Unknown.
# Franchise.AssassinsCreed: 9.Altaïr kills nine men for Al Mualim, Ezio assassinates Savonarola's nine lieutenants during the Bonfire of the Vanities and Brotherhood, Revelations and Syndicate have nine sequences. Jacques de Molay entrusts all the Templar knowledge with 9 men in order to rebuild the Order. 72 in Brotherhood, which is divisible by 9. The average number of main targets to be killed by the Assassins across all the games is also 9. Of the members of the Order of Ancients in Origins, Bayek personally kills 9 in the main game. The Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order always has nine members. The Cult of Kosmos's "inner circle," so to speak, is composed of 9 members; the 7 Sages, Deimos, and the Ghost of Kosmos. The number is emphasized in many ways throughout Valhalla, mostly through its multiple occurrences in Norse mythology.

# Creator.ValveCorporation: For some bizarre reason, Valve is continually stuck on 2. None of their series ever seem to reach a game with "3" in the name, even though a couple have already included more than two games. (Thus spawning the meme "Valve can't count to three!") Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Manchester United 0. They even made a second game for a series they didn't start.Gets even funnier when they decided to skip three and go straight to four. Not to mention they were on their second Game Engine, the increasingly dated Source engine, for about 11 years. Its successor debuting in a 2015 Dota 2 update bears the incredibly creative name "Source 2".
# WebAnimation.{{Nijisanji}}: GoroawaseNumber: 2434 for Nijisanji itself is practically an ArcNumber. A few of the livers' Twitter accounts also use this, such as Yashiro Kizuku (@846kizuQ), Genzuki Tojiro (@1O46V), and Nishizono Chigusa (@Chigusa_24zono). Goroawase numbers for other livers show up occasionally in streams or as donation amounts, such as 310 for Mito and 108 for Touya.

# Music.BoardsOfCanada: 70. "Sixtyten" is based on how "70" is said in French. Geogaddi features a song called "The Smallest Weird Number," which happens to be 70 (the song is also exactly 70 seconds long). Before being signed to Warp, they were on their own independent label called Music70, which is still co-credited as the label on BoC albums.By extension, 69 (despite its usual connotations) is another number which appears frequently in their song titles. "Sixtyniner," "1969" and "June 9th," which would be written in numbers as '6-9'.
# WebVideo.TheMonumentMythos: Three. The United States is split up into three zones, the Special Tree told Virginia three times to return in three years, the Special Tree seen in WASHINGTONWORMHOLE has three tips on the top of it, the Tree in ROCKEFELLERTREETRAGEDY took three years to dig up, the Libertylurker is ultimately known by three different names, Leonard Morlin discovered after three days that the United States had been absorbed and replaced by Alcatraz, and in ancient mythology, three World Eggs were created and three serpents tricked three men into helping them attain godhood.

# Fanfic.TheLastSpartan: True to form, variants of the number seven appear throughout the story. For example, some of the "named" Geth troopers have serial numbers divisible by seven, and not counting the Chief himself, there are seven members of the Normandy ground team.And when the author read this page and noticed the above entry, expressed glee when someone noticed, saying: "Yes! Finally! Someone picked up on that!" Count how many words are in that phrase. Funnily enough, Liara mentions that seven is bad luck in Asari cultures.

However, as a Kerm tree is joined with more Kerm tree cuttings or a kerbal, they become more and more sentient, until they reach 37 or more in total, where they experience a Mind Break without their Keeper by their side. Once they hit 38, their minds begin Shattering, and without the help of a Keeper and two kerbal anchors, will lead to the Kerm becoming fully sapient.

# VideoGame.HyperLightDrifter: 4, and multiples of it such as 8, 16, 32, and so on.
# VideoGame.{{Indivisible}}: Mystical108: As is to be expected in a game which draws heavily on Hinduism, this is an ArcNumber.The final phase of the final boss has 108 health bars. Angwu says that "the last one hundred and seven people" who came to the Tower of Wisdom were just as annoying as Ajna, implying that she's number 108. The achievement "A Taste of Power" requires the player to use the Iddhi Meter in battle 108 times. The achievement "A Sutra of Pain" requires the player to reach a 108 combo. The level cap is 108, although it can be comfortably completed around 50. The achievement "Indr's Pride" requires the player to perform 108 Clean Blocks. There are 108 ringsels hidden in the game, though only 101 are needed to fully upgrade everything. The game's release date was October 8th (10-8).
# Music.DreamTheater: "Octavarium" uses the idea that everything ends where it began and uses the number 8 and the octave as examples. It's the eighth track on their eighth album and its length in minutes (twenty-four) is divisible by 8. Various other elements in the song also allude to cycles and/or the number 8. According to ex-drummer Portnoy, the album's concept stemmed from his realising that (a), Octavarium was to be their eighth studio release, and (b), they had just released their fifth live release (Live at Budokan).

So she replaces the letters A, I, and E, with 4, 1, and 3. There is however, no indication of what that sounds like when she talks, though the most likely explanation is probably an accent rather than her literally saying "Spuhthreefourk wiionethhh thhthree" etc.
# MythologyGag.TheLegendOfVoxMachina: Vex's portion of the same sequence includes a part where she's being circled by nine eyes, significant symbols throughout Campaign 2.
# VideoGame.AceCombat5TheUnsungWar: 8492.
# Music.{{Caparezza}}: In Prisoner 709, the titular 709. References to it are numerous:Each song has a pair of words associated with it in the form ("X or Y") which have 7 and 9 letters respectively while the "0" stands for an "o" ("or"); Tracks 7 and 9 in this album are thematically opposites (a message to the artist's child self and his elderly self, respectively); The video for the title track was uploaded on September 7, 2017 (or 7/09/2017). In Exuvia, the number 16 (or 7 + 9) has some significance, but its usage is more subdued than its predecessor.
# Fridge.TheBandsOfMourning: According to Allik, the Sovereign arrived in the South twelve years after the Catacendre. If you keep track of the dates over the course of the original trilogy, that's sixteen years after Kelsier's death.
# Film.BlackMirrorBandersnatch: We catch up with Stefan every 17 days while he's making the game. Among other things, seventeen has been determined as the least random number, suggesting that things really aren’t your own choice.
# DarthWiki.AuxiliorumResSeptem: Downplayed. Seven (septem) tends to show up when Quietus is involved.
# Recap.ArrowS2E3BrokenDolls: "52" shows up a couple of times: Officer Lance's callsign is DC-52, Mathis rents room 52 at a hotel, and Oliver asks Thea to change to channel 52 when he needs to see some plot-relevant news about Officer Lance.
# Film.{{Nope}}: A subtle example. Jupe says to OJ and Emerald that the Gordy's Home incident took place over 6 minutes and 13 seconds, and in his Star Lasso Experience speech, he says that it was 6:13 p.m. when he first saw the flying saucer. There's also the fact that the film opens on a quote from Nahum 3:6, although that only includes one of the numbers and inverts the order.
# VideoGame.TheSecretWorld: The number 8 seems to be significant in the Secret World and hint to links with the Host: the eight companies that make up the Orochi Group, the watchful Eight of the Grigori, and the ancient conspiracy known as the Four-and-Sixty which is 8x8.
# LetsPlay.SirRonLionheart: 7 hours and a half! HAHA!Place Super Mario World has 12.
# Characters.HarryPotterOtherCanonHumansWitchesAndWizards: Tillyman had 7 children with Myron Otherhaus.
# Anime.YuGiOhSevens: SEVENS is obviously associated with the number seven, not only due to it being the seventh main entry in the franchise, but also because the Duel Disks in "Rush Duel" mode are shaped like a "7". By contrast, Goha Corp has a numerical motif of 6, based on their hexagonal logo, six-infraction limit, use of Number of the Beast in their time limits, the six Tops of Hexagon, and the six Goha Siblings who are the true heads of the company. There's also Goha Dueling Rules Chapter 6666, Article 6, which states that a duel must continue in the event of unpredictable, uncontrollable circumstances which change one duelist's deck, which ends up saving Yuga in his duel against The☆Lukeman.
# Film.{{Inception}}: 528-491. Amusingly, it means absolutely nothing, being just the first six numbers Fischer Jr. thought of. As they go deeper and deeper into the dreams, though, Fischer's subconscious starts giving them importance, because hey, he was thinking about those six numbers.
# VisualNovel.Never7: 7, though nowhere near to the extent as in later titles of the series.Seven characters Seven days The address of Saki's summer house is 3-8-7. In the PC version, the textbox is rainbow colored- 7 colors. The meaning of the title itself is supposed to mean "never reach 7", referring to the infinite loop and how Makoto can never get to April 7th, the seventh day.
# Recap.PersonOfInterestS04E19: 314 (pi), as the briefcase combination.
# Literature.SecondApocalypse: The size of the Inchoroi's Ark is measured in cubits, just like Noah's Ark. The Inchoroi want to reduce the world to fewer than 144,000 souls. This is an ArcNumber in the Bible, always representing a group of people.
# Film.TotallyKiller: The Sweet Sixteen Killer get their name from targeting their three victims on their Sweet Sixteen birthday and always leaving their bodies with sixteen stab wounds as their Calling Card. This was a deliberate choice on Doug's part in order to hide his true motive of avenging his deceased girlfriend.
# Fanfic.FiveScoreDividedByFour: ArcWords: Also, a Title Drop. Five Score, Divided by Four. (Which equals 25, in case you're wondering)
# Music.RiseAgainst: Downplayed on Appeal to Reason, in which the final three songs ("Savior," "Hairline Fracture," and "Whereabouts Unknown") all run the same length - 4 minutes and 2 seconds.
# Literature.ArtemisFowl: The number 4 recurs throughout the seventh book, since Artemis develops an irrational fear of it from his Atlantis Complex.
# Film.TheHatefulEight: Eight.
# Wrestling.ProWrestlingZERO1: Take a wild guess. The original plan was a spinoff called New Japan 00 or New Japan ZERO, which lasted a year before making a clean break as ZERO-ONE.
# WebVideo.DontHugMeImScared: Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2 contains, among other things on a blackboard, 卐 = MC2 and π = 19.6(y).
# AVGN.Tropes0ToG: In Hong Kong 97 the Nerd realizes that Hong Kong '97 keeps trying to divert his attention to the number "97".
# Music.FooFighters: 8 for Sonic Highways. It's their eighth album, was recorded in eight different cities, has eight tracks, and has a building in the shape of an eight on the cover. There's also a few hidden 8s in each city of the cover.
# WebVideo.GamesDoneQuick: AGDQ 2022 Online had the number 2 as a recurring motif in the titles of the games featured in the marathon. The following year's AGDQ 2023 would repeat the trend with the number 3, but with a smaller number of games.
# Film.{{Triangle}}: Several scenes occur in either the residence of Jess or a cabin of the Aeolus. Both are numbered "237" as a reference to The Shining.
# ScottPilgrim.TropesKToR: Gideon has kept his ex-girlfriends cryogenically frozen and hooked up to some sort of ominous-looking machine that he draws his power from. There are seven tubes attached to the machine. Six are occupied, one stands empty and waiting for Ramona.
# Film.TheGrudge2020: The Four Is Death trope (present in all the films in the series) counts as this, but there is also the number 'five', since the Arc Words are usually followed by characters counting to five
# VideoGame.{{Omori}}: Doubling as Arc Words. 143, in which each number stands for the number of letters in "I love you", subtly appears a few times as battle damage and in the internal code like the ID for the WTF value. This is usually related to Something and Mari. In fact, Something does say "SUNNY… I love you…" at a certain point.
# Wrestling.SamoanDynasty: The number 1, in the case of The Bloodline and especially The Usos. Starting with The Usos' claims to be "down since day one", the entire group has adopted the catchphrase "We the ones", along with all members posing with a single finger raised to the sky. The Usos adopted the 3D finisher from The Dudley Boys and renamed it the "1D" (as in "One And Done"), and Solo Sikoa is known as "The One Problem".
# Fridge.FinalFantasyV: The game exemplifies the five elements of Japanese philosophy (Godai) perfectly. Not only are the four elements of Air/Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth present, the Void could also be considered one, as all four crystals kept the Void in check. This is also consistent with the ArcNumber present in the game, as with the Void considered an element, there are five elements.
# VideoGame.KillerIsDead: Guess which? The number "51" makes its obligatory appearances: one stage takes Mondo to "Area 151", another has him fighting Tommy the TM-551 locomotive, and the DLC level is labeled "Episode 51".
# Anime.GatchamanCrowds: 100 and numbers around it come up a lot.
# Characters.{{From}}: 3. They swarmed 3 people: Julie, Marissa and Randall and somehow took their souls to the dungeon where Boyd was at the start of season 2. They appeared to be torturing them and were going to kill them, their deaths would have heralded something worse but Boyd prevented it in time.
# Literature.{{Oathbringer}}: Nine. There are nine Heralds that betrayed the Oathpact, leaving behind their blades, nine Unmade, represented in Odium's champion having nine shadows, the Everstorm occurs every nine days... And nine is one short of ten, which is believed to be a perfect number.
# Literature.{{Unsong}}: The kabbalistically significant numbers 4, 10, 22, and 72.
# Characters.SCPAnimatedTalesFromTheFoundationSCP: 231.
# Series.OddSquad: 43. It's the badge number of ex-agent Odd Todd.
# Literature.TheBoneSeasonSeries: NumerologicalMotif: The number seven crops up a lot, being strongly associated with the supernatural and the divine: there are seven Seals, seven orders of clairvoyance, seven books in the series, and seven tarot cards predicting Paige's future. The arch-traitor of Bone Season XVIII was XVIII-39-7. Also, Paige's London gang is based in Seven Dials, where seven roads converge on a sundial pillar. May also qualify as ArcNumber.
# Characters.RiseOfTheRocketsMajorAntagonists: Despite currently only being seen in silhouette form, several of these creatures appear to possess similarities to characters/monsters from other series.010 is an almost spot-on rendition of Blossomon. Likewise, 005 bears some resemblance to the D-Reaper's "Searcher" Type. Missing No. itself is heavily based off of the D-Reaper as a whole. 013, fittingly enough, resembles the Dusk Nobodies. 021 is a tall, thin, and bald humanoid figure. 024 was explicitly designed with Weeping Angels in mind. 043 resembles the Dancer-Type Shadows from the Persona series, while 045 appears to take some design inspiration from Persona 3's Arcana Lovers.
# FalloutNewVegas.TropesAToB: 21. Your first jumpsuit and the doctor who saved you from death and gives it to you is from Vault 21, when captured in the Dead Money DLC you are actually Collar 21, Festus calls it the "magic number", although that's more about his variant of Blackjack than anything else, and lastly should you be supporting an Independent Vegas, Ulysses will give you a duster emblazoned with a 21 at the end of Lonesome Road. Considering where the game takes place, this isn't exactly unwarranted.
# Recap.BlackMirrorHangTheDJ: "The System" boasts that it's able to find "the perfect match" with 99.8% probability. It turns out this number comes from when couples within a simulation disobey the instructions of The System. After running 1000 simulations, Frank and Amy break away 998 times out of 1000. This generates the percentage, and we see the real Frank and Amy about to meet at the end. Every time Amy skips a rock on the lake it skips exactly four times, never more or less. This extends to even when she skips the Coach box on the surface of the pool.
# VideoGame.MerryGearSolid: Your Mission Control in both games has the codec frequency of 12.25.
# Music.NineteenEightyNine: Swift's favorite number, 13, appears as the number of tracks on the album.
# Memes.Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers: "He said Zero"Explanation (Genesis Arc spoilers) With the possibility that SMG0 could come Back from the Dead or simply that his story isn't over yet, fans are quick to jump the gun whenever a new character mentions the number "zero" and when they find deliberately searched for clues in their names or designs that they're related to the number "zero", effectively making them a "candidate" for a possible Zero follower or Zero's reincarnation. This eventually resulted in lots of parodies from people tired of incessant theorizing. The theorists were right... almost.
# YMMV.YuGiOhVRAINS: Yu-Gi-Oh! Try for the series itself, mainly for its Tag Line and ArcNumber being a recurring theme.
# BrownNote.SCPFoundation: SCP-1423 is a Polaroid photograph from the summer of 1976. After holding the picture, the viewer will begin vividly reminiscing over their last summer vacation from high school, eventually leading to an obsession. They attempt to recreate and improve upon the original memories to their dismay, eventually cataloging discrepancies in their recurring dreams about it. The Foundation retrieved the photo from ███ Lee █████, a survivor and absent member of SCP-332’s first performance. Lee genuinely was looking at a picture of himself, trying to regain his memories from his last run-in with the Foundation.
# SquidGame.TropesJToZ: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Anime.FiveCentimetersPerSecond: Five, in the form of "Five X per Y". First said by Akari in the first act as "five centimeters per second", the speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, then said by Kanae in the second act as "five kilometers per hour" regarding the speed of a massive transporter for a rocket that shows up later. It connects the two main girls in Takaki's life, and judging by his surprised reaction to the second use, the link might not have escaped him either.
# Roleplay.FifteenStrangers: The number 15, of course, as there are always 15 Strangers.
# Manga.TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK: Parodied. Saiki starts seeing and hearing the number 100 everywhere. It turns out to be because it's the manga's 100th chapter.
# Sandbox.{{Coemedypink}}: 1629. "16" represents the year 2016, while "29" represents February 29th. These numbers correlate to Spirit Phone'snote The album where "Touch-Tone Telephone" comes from release.
# Series.TheGruenTransfer: 25814062, the number used in the barcode that makes up part of the show's logo. If there's any significance/reason to it, we won't be finding it out anytime soon.
# VideoGame.{{Sdorica}}: PowerTrio: Keeping with Sunset's ArcNumber, part 1 characters tend to come in threes. The bandit trio, the Maple Lake trio, the starter trio and the army trio, to name a few.In Mirage, Sophie, Elio and Rune form their own Power Trio. Later on, Clark replaces Elio.
# ComicBook.FantasticFour: Sue Storm is the poster girl for Took a Level in Badass precisely because of this trope. In the original comics, she had a more passive role, often playing the Damsel in Distress. The writers gave her invisibility powers a force field aspect to make her more active and useful, other writers gave her more creative ways to use them, and now "lil Suzie" is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, period. Notably, she can deal out all four main manners of death this trope describes: cutting, crushing, popping, and internal blockage.
# VideoGame.SuperMarioBros35: 35, befitting the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. There are 35 players in a match, you start with 35 seconds of time in a normal 35-Player Battlenote with some exceptions: e.g. opening with 1-3 starts with 50 seconds, and should you be lucky enough to open with 8-3 you get 80, and Special Battles frequently have 35 of something (such as starting with 35 coins).
# Literature.HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban: 13; Harry turns thirteen years old at the start of the novel, Sirius Black supposedly murdered thirteen people, and during the Christmas feast, thirteen people are seated together until Professor Trelawney arrives and lampshades that 13 Is Unlucky.
# Recap.InsideNo9S5E4Misdirection: The opening scene takes place nine years before the rest of the episode.
# Creator.ValveCorporation: For some bizarre reason, Valve is continually stuck on 2. None of their series ever seem to reach a game with "3" in the name, even though a couple have already included more than two games. (Thus spawning the meme "Valve can't count to three!") Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Manchester United 0. They even made a second game for a series they didn't start.Gets even funnier when they decided to skip three and go straight to four. Not to mention they were on their second Game Engine, the increasingly dated Source engine, for about 11 years. Its successor debuting in a 2015 Dota 2 update bears the incredibly creative name "Source 2".
# WebAnimation.{{Nijisanji}}: GoroawaseNumber: 2434 for Nijisanji itself is practically an ArcNumber. A few of the livers' Twitter accounts also use this, such as Yashiro Kizuku (@846kizuQ), Genzuki Tojiro (@1O46V), and Nishizono Chigusa (@Chigusa_24zono). Goroawase numbers for other livers show up occasionally in streams or as donation amounts, such as 310 for Mito and 108 for Touya.
# Characters.GameGrumpsMadeUp: 677 appears twice which makes Jon suspect there is some kind of conspiracy going on.
# Newsletter.News202105: March 10th. April 13th. May 4th. These may be unremarkable dates to the general public, but if you're a Super Mario Bros. fan, a Homestuck fan, or a Star Wars fan respectively, you may recognize them as holidays. Pop Culture Holiday is a YMMV item that launched in March to record the dates that fandoms — and sometimes even the creators themselves — hold significant. Whether it's the work's release date, an ArcNumber, a character's birthday, a punny number, or just a date mentioned in the work that became a meme, this page serves as your unofficial calendar to those days of the year.
# DarthWiki.CorruptCrossover: 53. The significance? Unknown.
# Franchise.AssassinsCreed: 9.Altaïr kills nine men for Al Mualim, Ezio assassinates Savonarola's nine lieutenants during the Bonfire of the Vanities and Brotherhood, Revelations and Syndicate have nine sequences. Jacques de Molay entrusts all the Templar knowledge with 9 men in order to rebuild the Order. 72 in Brotherhood, which is divisible by 9. The average number of main targets to be killed by the Assassins across all the games is also 9. Of the members of the Order of Ancients in Origins, Bayek personally kills 9 in the main game. The Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order always has nine members. The Cult of Kosmos's "inner circle," so to speak, is composed of 9 members; the 7 Sages, Deimos, and the Ghost of Kosmos. The number is emphasized in many ways throughout Valhalla, mostly through its multiple occurrences in Norse mythology.
# QuoteSource.AnimeAndManga: Fairy Tail ArcNumber Star Power
# Recap.NightmareTimeS1E1TheHatchetfieldApeManAndWatcherWorld: Bill's ordeal at the "Test Your Strength" Game is a hilariously classic example of this trope, with Bill getting so mad that he can't seem to make the puck move at all — with everyone taunting him and questioning his manhood the whole time — that he puts an open tab on his credit card to keep on hitting the machine until he wins, spending four hundred dollars on it (at $2/try) when, as the Barker points out in a Call-Back to Black Friday, "the dolls are on sale at the gift shop for $49.95". Then Bill hits the Rage Breaking Point and finally does win the game, and the experience seems to have changed him, and his anger is no longer very funny at all...
# Music.BoardsOfCanada: 70. "Sixtyten" is based on how "70" is said in French. Geogaddi features a song called "The Smallest Weird Number," which happens to be 70 (the song is also exactly 70 seconds long). Before being signed to Warp, they were on their own independent label called Music70, which is still co-credited as the label on BoC albums.By extension, 69 (despite its usual connotations) is another number which appears frequently in their song titles. "Sixtyniner," "1969" and "June 9th," which would be written in numbers as '6-9'.
# WebVideo.TheMonumentMythos: Three. The United States is split up into three zones, the Special Tree told Virginia three times to return in three years, the Special Tree seen in WASHINGTONWORMHOLE has three tips on the top of it, the Tree in ROCKEFELLERTREETRAGEDY took three years to dig up, the Libertylurker is ultimately known by three different names, Leonard Morlin discovered after three days that the United States had been absorbed and replaced by Alcatraz, and in ancient mythology, three World Eggs were created and three serpents tricked three men into helping them attain godhood.
# Recap.FringeS03E02TheBox: The box activates in the subway station at 6:02.
# WebAnimation.RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy: invoked 57. "Manticore Blues," Freckles' main theme during this story arc, is 57 seconds long. The Basebook pic of Freckles wearing a silly hat in Season 11 was 57% uploaded by the time Tucker destroyed the computer. In Season 12, Caboose says his lucky numbers are 5 and 7, "and don't forget them!" The number is seen in the first episode of Season 13 as the percentage of both damage the Pelican has taken and the likelihood of Carolina neglecting their allies in a fight. In Episode 2 of Season 13, Grif states that Matthews has thanked him 56 times right before Matthews proceeds to thank him again. Finally, counting both parts of "Armonia" as one episode, the trilogy is 57 episodes long. Amusingly, after the story arc was concluded, Miles Luna and Burnie Burns revealed in an interview that it was all just an incredibly lucky coincidence that they decided to just run with to Troll the fans.
# VideoGame.BillyVsSnakeman: Final Boss The Portal of Awesome, which includes Stephen Colbert, Gary Gygax, Shigeru Miyamoto, Optimus Prime, Chuck Norris, Billy Mays, and William Shatner. The 11-Tailed Fox is the Final Boss of r00t. The original final boss was dependent on your initial bloodline and was encountered at the end of the Jonin Exam.
# Characters.AGameOfGodsNPCs: The squad is composed of seven soldiers when they first appear.
# Recap.EdEddNEddyS3E20EdPassItOn: Sarah and Jimmy wear a vest with the number 62 on it as part of their Eddy's Brother disguise. This is the same shirt he wears when we finally see him in the series finale.
# Literature.HarounAndTheSeaOfStories: 11. After Haroun's mother, Soraya, leaves for Mr. Sengupta, Haroun is only able to concentrate on anything for eleven minutes, as 11:00 was when his mother left.
# Swordfish.LiveActionTV: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Homestuck.TropesAToL: Alternians measure time in "solar sweeps" rather than years; one solar sweep, at least as far as age is concerned, is equal to two point sixteen repeating years. (And two solar sweeps equals four and one-third years!)
# Fanfic.FirstFlight: 36. Kerm trees alone are no smarter than a regular tree. However, as a Kerm tree is joined with more Kerm tree cuttings or a kerbal, they become more and more sentient, until they reach 37 or more in total, where they experience a Mind Break without their Keeper by their side. Once they hit 38, their minds begin Shattering, and without the help of a Keeper and two kerbal anchors, will lead to the Kerm becoming fully sapient.
# YMMV.FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld: Probably the biggest example of this for the FNaF series at the time. The reception of the game regarding this trope was bad when it was new on Steam, although this is again because Scott released the game a bit too early. That being said, by the time Scott pulled it, the game's rating was (oddly enough) 87%. By this point, Update 2 changed the overall game, and reception was much better.
# Characters.YuGiOhRushDuel: All members of the series so far are Level 7 monsters, and generally require Level 7 monsters as part of their effects in one way or another.
# Film.BladeRunner2049: "06-10-21". It's the day that the child of Deckard and Rachael was born and the date of death for Rachael.
# Film.Shazam2019: Seven comes up a lot throughout the film.The Seven Deadly Sins, obviously. The Council of Seven Wizards and their seven thrones. By the end of the film, we have been exposed to seven Champions, Billy and his five siblings as well as the Fallen Champion There are seven symbols needed to enter the Rock of Eternity and it must be repeated seven times. When Billy, as Shazam, and Freddy went to a home realtor office to try to purchase a lair, the realtor asks how many rooms they'll need. Billy wants one room while Freddy wants seven. When Billy meets his mother at her apartment, she lives on the seventh floor and her room number is 707. Mister Mind mentions the Seven Realms to Sivana. Meta example: the film happens to be the seventh DCEU film to be released.
# Series.ThePentaverate: Five. The organization is called the PENTAverate (Penta meaning five). To hammer it home, Mike Myers created an Instagram account and in the FIVE days leading up to the first trailer’s release, posted FIVE pictures relating to the number FIVE (Five Guys Burgers and Fries, five dollars, etc.) The trailer dropped on March 16 at 5:55 A.M. and the series premiered on May 5.
# VideoGame.PlanescapeTorment: The Rule of Three, a staple of the Planescape setting. Used subtly for the most part, however. An early discussion about this makes the point that the rule is self-reinforcing for cosmological reasons and that obsessing about it just means seeing it where it's not relevant, real or not.
# SequelHook.VideoGames: Arkham Knight features a version of the Wayne Manor Predator map from Batman: Arkham City with a piano that can open a panel and a case Bruce seems to be working on, one where he suspects a murder victim knew their killer and the number 4-25. At first, it seemed like a case of Trolling Creator as on April 25, 2016, Rocksteady celebrated the 75th Anniversary of The Joker's debut, but it also foreshadows Batman: Arkham VR, which is about Bruce having a nightmare about a Jokerized version of himself killing Nightwing and features 4-25 as an ArcNumber.
# Anime.YumeNoCrayonOukoku: 12. Princesses of the Crayon Kingdom are expected to perform the mirror-viewing ritual when they all become 12, Silver has twelve flaws to work through, and she carries a summoning trinket that contains 12 vegetable companions. Later on it's revealed that the Crayon Kingdom can only hold on for one year (twelve months) without everything being thrown into chaos.
# Myth.MandeMythology: 8. Eight ancestors, eight primordial seeds, eight lands first settled.7. Seven represents the complete androgynous being. Three earrings were worn on the right ear representing the male (penis and two testicles), four were worn on the left indicating the female (vaginal lips). Faro crafted the seven heavens to correspond with the seven waters and seven parts of the earth. The first men and women gave each other tribal scars on the face according to gender: 3 for men, 4 for women.
# Music.InRainbows: 10. In Rainbows has ten letters, the album has ten tracks, tens are prominent in album artwork and promo material, and it was announced ten days before release.It was released ten years after OK Computer, which makes some believe that the two are companion albums. The record was announced on October 1st and came out on the 10th. Then there is the 01 and 10 playlist. It sounds even better if you set a 10 second crossfade on your player.
# Webcomic.CoolAndNewWebComic: 413 as usual, though the date loses its significance since Jhon's birthday is never stated and the comic started on April 10th. Lampshaded by the narrator, who keeps making "geddit?" comments whenever it and other numbers from Homestuck are brought up.
# VideoGame.BlushBlush: Played for laughs, as it's 69.Marshmallow's employee number in the zoo is #69247, or 69 24/7. Anon needs 69 of two different gifts while romancing him. 69 is a potential answer to Reece's math question, along with 42.
# VideoGame.ResidentEvil7Biohazard: In the Beginning Hour demo, the number of sightings of the ghost girl is 7. There are 7 voodoo dolls hanging from the ceiling in the small cupboard. The number of mannequins scattered around the house is also 7.
# Music.HedPE: The band often refers to the year 2012, and draws lyrical themes from various theories surrounding the year.
# VideoGame.MichaelJordanChaosInTheWindyCity: "23", fittingly, since it was Jordan's playing number for the majority of his basketball career, with some rare exceptions.note He wore #9 during his Olympic stints, and very briefly wore #12 in 1990 because of someone stealing his jersey right before a game. When Jordan un-retired a few months after Windy City's release, his usual #23 had been retired, and thus wore #45 for a while; before reverting back to #23 permanently. The "23" hoop makes time freeze, and '23' Icons are extra lives.
# Characters.LeagueOfLegendsJhin: The Collector is an AD burst damage/assassination item which executes enemies below 5% of their maximum health with 999 raw damage, an arbitrarily high number to fully guarantee that the target dies outright. If Jhin is using it, he instead does 4444 damage.
# VideoGame.HyperLightDrifter: 4, and multiples of it such as 8, 16, 32, and so on.
# VideoGame.{{Indivisible}}: Mystical108: As is to be expected in a game which draws heavily on Hinduism, this is an ArcNumber.The final phase of the final boss has 108 health bars. Angwu says that "the last one hundred and seven people" who came to the Tower of Wisdom were just as annoying as Ajna, implying that she's number 108. The achievement "A Taste of Power" requires the player to use the Iddhi Meter in battle 108 times. The achievement "A Sutra of Pain" requires the player to reach a 108 combo. The level cap is 108, although it can be comfortably completed around 50. The achievement "Indr's Pride" requires the player to perform 108 Clean Blocks. There are 108 ringsels hidden in the game, though only 101 are needed to fully upgrade everything. The game's release date was October 8th (10-8).
# Music.DreamTheater: "Octavarium" uses the idea that everything ends where it began and uses the number 8 and the octave as examples. It's the eighth track on their eighth album and its length in minutes (twenty-four) is divisible by 8. Various other elements in the song also allude to cycles and/or the number 8. According to ex-drummer Portnoy, the album's concept stemmed from his realising that (a), Octavarium was to be their eighth studio release, and (b), they had just released their fifth live release (Live at Budokan).
# Series.{{Concentration}}: Often, whenever contestants picked #22, Alex stated that it's his lucky number (his birthday is July 22).
# YMMV.FallenLondon: The Seeking Mr. Eaten's Name questline has become incredibly memetic for its excellent and unique story, its mysterious endings and its incredibly memorable and ominous arc words. The number 7 and phrases like A Reckoning Will Not Be Postponed Indefinitely have become rallying cries for seekers everywhere.
# Headscratchers.HomestuckResolved: Aradia's h0ll0w v0ice is gh0stly, Tavros sTUTTERS AND UH, UHS, Sollux ha2 a lii2p, KARKAT IS LOUD, Nepeta loves to rolepurrlay, Terezi's 1S N3V34 R34LLY T4LK3D 4BOUT so who knows, Vriska is a laaaaaaaarge h8m, Equius has an accent befitting a b100 b100d, Gamzee talks KiNdA WeIrD or SHOUTS then whispers, Eridan has this wweird accent, and Feferi is really ———Energetic!!!.On Terezi, her intro page explicitly states "you SP34K W1TH TH3 NUM3R4LS TH3 BL1ND PROPH3TS ONC3 US3D." So she replaces the letters A, I, and E, with 4, 1, and 3. There is however, no indication of what that sounds like when she talks, though the most likely explanation is probably an accent rather than her literally saying "Spuhthreefourk wiionethhh thhthree" etc.
# MythologyGag.TheLegendOfVoxMachina: Vex's portion of the same sequence includes a part where she's being circled by nine eyes, significant symbols throughout Campaign 2.
# VideoGame.AceCombat5TheUnsungWar: 8492.
# Music.{{Caparezza}}: In Prisoner 709, the titular 709. References to it are numerous:Each song has a pair of words associated with it in the form ("X or Y") which have 7 and 9 letters respectively while the "0" stands for an "o" ("or"); Tracks 7 and 9 in this album are thematically opposites (a message to the artist's child self and his elderly self, respectively); The video for the title track was uploaded on September 7, 2017 (or 7/09/2017). In Exuvia, the number 16 (or 7 + 9) has some significance, but its usage is more subdued than its predecessor.
# Fridge.TheBandsOfMourning: According to Allik, the Sovereign arrived in the South twelve years after the Catacendre. If you keep track of the dates over the course of the original trilogy, that's sixteen years after Kelsier's death.
# Film.BlackMirrorBandersnatch: We catch up with Stefan every 17 days while he's making the game. Among other things, seventeen has been determined as the least random number, suggesting that things really aren’t your own choice.
# DarthWiki.AuxiliorumResSeptem: Downplayed. Seven (septem) tends to show up when Quietus is involved.
# Recap.ArrowS2E3BrokenDolls: "52" shows up a couple of times: Officer Lance's callsign is DC-52, Mathis rents room 52 at a hotel, and Oliver asks Thea to change to channel 52 when he needs to see some plot-relevant news about Officer Lance.
# Film.{{Nope}}: A subtle example. Jupe says to OJ and Emerald that the Gordy's Home incident took place over 6 minutes and 13 seconds, and in his Star Lasso Experience speech, he says that it was 6:13 p.m. when he first saw the flying saucer. There's also the fact that the film opens on a quote from Nahum 3:6, although that only includes one of the numbers and inverts the order.
# VideoGame.TheSecretWorld: The number 8 seems to be significant in the Secret World and hint to links with the Host: the eight companies that make up the Orochi Group, the watchful Eight of the Grigori, and the ancient conspiracy known as the Four-and-Sixty which is 8x8.
# LetsPlay.SirRonLionheart: 7 hours and a half! HAHA!Place Super Mario World has 12.
# Characters.HarryPotterOtherCanonHumansWitchesAndWizards: Tillyman had 7 children with Myron Otherhaus.
# Anime.YuGiOhSevens: SEVENS is obviously associated with the number seven, not only due to it being the seventh main entry in the franchise, but also because the Duel Disks in "Rush Duel" mode are shaped like a "7". By contrast, Goha Corp has a numerical motif of 6, based on their hexagonal logo, six-infraction limit, use of Number of the Beast in their time limits, the six Tops of Hexagon, and the six Goha Siblings who are the true heads of the company. There's also Goha Dueling Rules Chapter 6666, Article 6, which states that a duel must continue in the event of unpredictable, uncontrollable circumstances which change one duelist's deck, which ends up saving Yuga in his duel against The☆Lukeman.
# Film.{{Inception}}: 528-491. Amusingly, it means absolutely nothing, being just the first six numbers Fischer Jr. thought of. As they go deeper and deeper into the dreams, though, Fischer's subconscious starts giving them importance, because hey, he was thinking about those six numbers.
# VisualNovel.Never7: 7, though nowhere near to the extent as in later titles of the series.Seven characters Seven days The address of Saki's summer house is 3-8-7. In the PC version, the textbox is rainbow colored- 7 colors. The meaning of the title itself is supposed to mean "never reach 7", referring to the infinite loop and how Makoto can never get to April 7th, the seventh day.
# Recap.PersonOfInterestS04E19: 314 (pi), as the briefcase combination.
# Literature.SecondApocalypse: The size of the Inchoroi's Ark is measured in cubits, just like Noah's Ark. The Inchoroi want to reduce the world to fewer than 144,000 souls. This is an ArcNumber in the Bible, always representing a group of people.
# Film.TotallyKiller: The Sweet Sixteen Killer get their name from targeting their three victims on their Sweet Sixteen birthday and always leaving their bodies with sixteen stab wounds as their Calling Card. This was a deliberate choice on Doug's part in order to hide his true motive of avenging his deceased girlfriend.
# Fanfic.FiveScoreDividedByFour: ArcWords: Also, a Title Drop. Five Score, Divided by Four. (Which equals 25, in case you're wondering)
# Music.RiseAgainst: Downplayed on Appeal to Reason, in which the final three songs ("Savior," "Hairline Fracture," and "Whereabouts Unknown") all run the same length - 4 minutes and 2 seconds.
# Literature.ArtemisFowl: The number 4 recurs throughout the seventh book, since Artemis develops an irrational fear of it from his Atlantis Complex.
# Film.TheHatefulEight: Eight.
# Wrestling.ProWrestlingZERO1: Take a wild guess. The original plan was a spinoff called New Japan 00 or New Japan ZERO, which lasted a year before making a clean break as ZERO-ONE.
# WebVideo.DontHugMeImScared: Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2 contains, among other things on a blackboard, 卐 = MC2 and π = 19.6(y).
# AVGN.Tropes0ToG: In Hong Kong 97 the Nerd realizes that Hong Kong '97 keeps trying to divert his attention to the number "97".
# Music.FooFighters: 8 for Sonic Highways. It's their eighth album, was recorded in eight different cities, has eight tracks, and has a building in the shape of an eight on the cover. There's also a few hidden 8s in each city of the cover.
# WebVideo.GamesDoneQuick: AGDQ 2022 Online had the number 2 as a recurring motif in the titles of the games featured in the marathon. The following year's AGDQ 2023 would repeat the trend with the number 3, but with a smaller number of games.
# Film.{{Triangle}}: Several scenes occur in either the residence of Jess or a cabin of the Aeolus. Both are numbered "237" as a reference to The Shining.
# ScottPilgrim.TropesKToR: Gideon has kept his ex-girlfriends cryogenically frozen and hooked up to some sort of ominous-looking machine that he draws his power from. There are seven tubes attached to the machine. Six are occupied, one stands empty and waiting for Ramona.
# Film.TheGrudge2020: The Four Is Death trope (present in all the films in the series) counts as this, but there is also the number 'five', since the Arc Words are usually followed by characters counting to five
# VideoGame.{{Omori}}: Doubling as Arc Words. 143, in which each number stands for the number of letters in "I love you", subtly appears a few times as battle damage and in the internal code like the ID for the WTF value. This is usually related to Something and Mari. In fact, Something does say "SUNNY… I love you…" at a certain point.
# Wrestling.SamoanDynasty: The number 1, in the case of The Bloodline and especially The Usos. Starting with The Usos' claims to be "down since day one", the entire group has adopted the catchphrase "We the ones", along with all members posing with a single finger raised to the sky. The Usos adopted the 3D finisher from The Dudley Boys and renamed it the "1D" (as in "One And Done"), and Solo Sikoa is known as "The One Problem".
# Fridge.FinalFantasyV: The game exemplifies the five elements of Japanese philosophy (Godai) perfectly. Not only are the four elements of Air/Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth present, the Void could also be considered one, as all four crystals kept the Void in check. This is also consistent with the ArcNumber present in the game, as with the Void considered an element, there are five elements.
# VideoGame.KillerIsDead: Guess which? The number "51" makes its obligatory appearances: one stage takes Mondo to "Area 151", another has him fighting Tommy the TM-551 locomotive, and the DLC level is labeled "Episode 51".
# Anime.GatchamanCrowds: 100 and numbers around it come up a lot.
# Characters.{{From}}: 3. They swarmed 3 people: Julie, Marissa and Randall and somehow took their souls to the dungeon where Boyd was at the start of season 2. They appeared to be torturing them and were going to kill them, their deaths would have heralded something worse but Boyd prevented it in time.
# Literature.{{Oathbringer}}: Nine. There are nine Heralds that betrayed the Oathpact, leaving behind their blades, nine Unmade, represented in Odium's champion having nine shadows, the Everstorm occurs every nine days... And nine is one short of ten, which is believed to be a perfect number.
# Literature.{{Unsong}}: The kabbalistically significant numbers 4, 10, 22, and 72.
# Characters.SCPAnimatedTalesFromTheFoundationSCP: 231.
# Series.OddSquad: 43. It's the badge number of ex-agent Odd Todd.
# Literature.TheBoneSeasonSeries: NumerologicalMotif: The number seven crops up a lot, being strongly associated with the supernatural and the divine: there are seven Seals, seven orders of clairvoyance, seven books in the series, and seven tarot cards predicting Paige's future. The arch-traitor of Bone Season XVIII was XVIII-39-7. Also, Paige's London gang is based in Seven Dials, where seven roads converge on a sundial pillar. May also qualify as ArcNumber.
# Characters.RiseOfTheRocketsMajorAntagonists: Despite currently only being seen in silhouette form, several of these creatures appear to possess similarities to characters/monsters from other series.010 is an almost spot-on rendition of Blossomon. Likewise, 005 bears some resemblance to the D-Reaper's "Searcher" Type. Missing No. itself is heavily based off of the D-Reaper as a whole. 013, fittingly enough, resembles the Dusk Nobodies. 021 is a tall, thin, and bald humanoid figure. 024 was explicitly designed with Weeping Angels in mind. 043 resembles the Dancer-Type Shadows from the Persona series, while 045 appears to take some design inspiration from Persona 3's Arcana Lovers.
# FalloutNewVegas.TropesAToB: 21. Your first jumpsuit and the doctor who saved you from death and gives it to you is from Vault 21, when captured in the Dead Money DLC you are actually Collar 21, Festus calls it the "magic number", although that's more about his variant of Blackjack than anything else, and lastly should you be supporting an Independent Vegas, Ulysses will give you a duster emblazoned with a 21 at the end of Lonesome Road. Considering where the game takes place, this isn't exactly unwarranted.
# Recap.BlackMirrorHangTheDJ: "The System" boasts that it's able to find "the perfect match" with 99.8% probability. It turns out this number comes from when couples within a simulation disobey the instructions of The System. After running 1000 simulations, Frank and Amy break away 998 times out of 1000. This generates the percentage, and we see the real Frank and Amy about to meet at the end. Every time Amy skips a rock on the lake it skips exactly four times, never more or less. This extends to even when she skips the Coach box on the surface of the pool.
# VideoGame.MerryGearSolid: Your Mission Control in both games has the codec frequency of 12.25.
# Music.NineteenEightyNine: Swift's favorite number, 13, appears as the number of tracks on the album.
# Memes.Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers: "He said Zero"Explanation (Genesis Arc spoilers) With the possibility that SMG0 could come Back from the Dead or simply that his story isn't over yet, fans are quick to jump the gun whenever a new character mentions the number "zero" and when they find deliberately searched for clues in their names or designs that they're related to the number "zero", effectively making them a "candidate" for a possible Zero follower or Zero's reincarnation. This eventually resulted in lots of parodies from people tired of incessant theorizing. The theorists were right... almost.
# YMMV.YuGiOhVRAINS: Yu-Gi-Oh! Try for the series itself, mainly for its Tag Line and ArcNumber being a recurring theme.
# BrownNote.SCPFoundation: SCP-1423 is a Polaroid photograph from the summer of 1976. After holding the picture, the viewer will begin vividly reminiscing over their last summer vacation from high school, eventually leading to an obsession. They attempt to recreate and improve upon the original memories to their dismay, eventually cataloging discrepancies in their recurring dreams about it. The Foundation retrieved the photo from ███ Lee █████, a survivor and absent member of SCP-332’s first performance. Lee genuinely was looking at a picture of himself, trying to regain his memories from his last run-in with the Foundation.
# SquidGame.TropesJToZ: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Anime.FiveCentimetersPerSecond: Five, in the form of "Five X per Y". First said by Akari in the first act as "five centimeters per second", the speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, then said by Kanae in the second act as "five kilometers per hour" regarding the speed of a massive transporter for a rocket that shows up later. It connects the two main girls in Takaki's life, and judging by his surprised reaction to the second use, the link might not have escaped him either.
# Roleplay.FifteenStrangers: The number 15, of course, as there are always 15 Strangers.
# Manga.TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK: Parodied. Saiki starts seeing and hearing the number 100 everywhere. It turns out to be because it's the manga's 100th chapter.
# Sandbox.{{Coemedypink}}: 1629. "16" represents the year 2016, while "29" represents February 29th. These numbers correlate to Spirit Phone'snote The album where "Touch-Tone Telephone" comes from release.
# Series.TheGruenTransfer: 25814062, the number used in the barcode that makes up part of the show's logo. If there's any significance/reason to it, we won't be finding it out anytime soon.
# VideoGame.{{Sdorica}}: PowerTrio: Keeping with Sunset's ArcNumber, part 1 characters tend to come in threes. The bandit trio, the Maple Lake trio, the starter trio and the army trio, to name a few.In Mirage, Sophie, Elio and Rune form their own Power Trio. Later on, Clark replaces Elio.
# ComicBook.FantasticFour: Sue Storm is the poster girl for Took a Level in Badass precisely because of this trope. In the original comics, she had a more passive role, often playing the Damsel in Distress. The writers gave her invisibility powers a force field aspect to make her more active and useful, other writers gave her more creative ways to use them, and now "lil Suzie" is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, period. Notably, she can deal out all four main manners of death this trope describes: cutting, crushing, popping, and internal blockage.
# VideoGame.SuperMarioBros35: 35, befitting the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. There are 35 players in a match, you start with 35 seconds of time in a normal 35-Player Battlenote with some exceptions: e.g. opening with 1-3 starts with 50 seconds, and should you be lucky enough to open with 8-3 you get 80, and Special Battles frequently have 35 of something (such as starting with 35 coins).
# Literature.HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban: 13; Harry turns thirteen years old at the start of the novel, Sirius Black supposedly murdered thirteen people, and during the Christmas feast, thirteen people are seated together until Professor Trelawney arrives and lampshades that 13 Is Unlucky.
# Recap.InsideNo9S5E4Misdirection: The opening scene takes place nine years before the rest of the episode.
# Creator.ValveCorporation: For some bizarre reason, Valve is continually stuck on 2. None of their series ever seem to reach a game with "3" in the name, even though a couple have already included more than two games. (Thus spawning the meme "Valve can't count to three!") Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Manchester United 0. They even made a second game for a series they didn't start.Gets even funnier when they decided to skip three and go straight to four. Not to mention they were on their second Game Engine, the increasingly dated Source engine, for about 11 years. Its successor debuting in a 2015 Dota 2 update bears the incredibly creative name "Source 2".
# WebAnimation.{{Nijisanji}}: GoroawaseNumber: 2434 for Nijisanji itself is practically an ArcNumber. A few of the livers' Twitter accounts also use this, such as Yashiro Kizuku (@846kizuQ), Genzuki Tojiro (@1O46V), and Nishizono Chigusa (@Chigusa_24zono). Goroawase numbers for other livers show up occasionally in streams or as donation amounts, such as 310 for Mito and 108 for Touya.
# Characters.GameGrumpsMadeUp: 677 appears twice which makes Jon suspect there is some kind of conspiracy going on.
# Newsletter.News202105: March 10th. April 13th. May 4th. These may be unremarkable dates to the general public, but if you're a Super Mario Bros. fan, a Homestuck fan, or a Star Wars fan respectively, you may recognize them as holidays. Pop Culture Holiday is a YMMV item that launched in March to record the dates that fandoms — and sometimes even the creators themselves — hold significant. Whether it's the work's release date, an ArcNumber, a character's birthday, a punny number, or just a date mentioned in the work that became a meme, this page serves as your unofficial calendar to those days of the year.
# DarthWiki.CorruptCrossover: 53. The significance? Unknown.
# Franchise.AssassinsCreed: 9.Altaïr kills nine men for Al Mualim, Ezio assassinates Savonarola's nine lieutenants during the Bonfire of the Vanities and Brotherhood, Revelations and Syndicate have nine sequences. Jacques de Molay entrusts all the Templar knowledge with 9 men in order to rebuild the Order. 72 in Brotherhood, which is divisible by 9. The average number of main targets to be killed by the Assassins across all the games is also 9. Of the members of the Order of Ancients in Origins, Bayek personally kills 9 in the main game. The Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order always has nine members. The Cult of Kosmos's "inner circle," so to speak, is composed of 9 members; the 7 Sages, Deimos, and the Ghost of Kosmos. The number is emphasized in many ways throughout Valhalla, mostly through its multiple occurrences in Norse mythology.
# QuoteSource.AnimeAndManga: Fairy Tail ArcNumber Star Power
# Recap.NightmareTimeS1E1TheHatchetfieldApeManAndWatcherWorld: Bill's ordeal at the "Test Your Strength" Game is a hilariously classic example of this trope, with Bill getting so mad that he can't seem to make the puck move at all — with everyone taunting him and questioning his manhood the whole time — that he puts an open tab on his credit card to keep on hitting the machine until he wins, spending four hundred dollars on it (at $2/try) when, as the Barker points out in a Call-Back to Black Friday, "the dolls are on sale at the gift shop for $49.95". Then Bill hits the Rage Breaking Point and finally does win the game, and the experience seems to have changed him, and his anger is no longer very funny at all...
# Music.BoardsOfCanada: 70. "Sixtyten" is based on how "70" is said in French. Geogaddi features a song called "The Smallest Weird Number," which happens to be 70 (the song is also exactly 70 seconds long). Before being signed to Warp, they were on their own independent label called Music70, which is still co-credited as the label on BoC albums.By extension, 69 (despite its usual connotations) is another number which appears frequently in their song titles. "Sixtyniner," "1969" and "June 9th," which would be written in numbers as '6-9'.
# WebVideo.TheMonumentMythos: Three. The United States is split up into three zones, the Special Tree told Virginia three times to return in three years, the Special Tree seen in WASHINGTONWORMHOLE has three tips on the top of it, the Tree in ROCKEFELLERTREETRAGEDY took three years to dig up, the Libertylurker is ultimately known by three different names, Leonard Morlin discovered after three days that the United States had been absorbed and replaced by Alcatraz, and in ancient mythology, three World Eggs were created and three serpents tricked three men into helping them attain godhood.
# Recap.FringeS03E02TheBox: The box activates in the subway station at 6:02.
# WebAnimation.RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy: invoked 57. "Manticore Blues," Freckles' main theme during this story arc, is 57 seconds long. The Basebook pic of Freckles wearing a silly hat in Season 11 was 57% uploaded by the time Tucker destroyed the computer. In Season 12, Caboose says his lucky numbers are 5 and 7, "and don't forget them!" The number is seen in the first episode of Season 13 as the percentage of both damage the Pelican has taken and the likelihood of Carolina neglecting their allies in a fight. In Episode 2 of Season 13, Grif states that Matthews has thanked him 56 times right before Matthews proceeds to thank him again. Finally, counting both parts of "Armonia" as one episode, the trilogy is 57 episodes long. Amusingly, after the story arc was concluded, Miles Luna and Burnie Burns revealed in an interview that it was all just an incredibly lucky coincidence that they decided to just run with to Troll the fans.
# VideoGame.BillyVsSnakeman: Final Boss The Portal of Awesome, which includes Stephen Colbert, Gary Gygax, Shigeru Miyamoto, Optimus Prime, Chuck Norris, Billy Mays, and William Shatner. The 11-Tailed Fox is the Final Boss of r00t. The original final boss was dependent on your initial bloodline and was encountered at the end of the Jonin Exam.
# Characters.AGameOfGodsNPCs: The squad is composed of seven soldiers when they first appear.
# Recap.EdEddNEddyS3E20EdPassItOn: Sarah and Jimmy wear a vest with the number 62 on it as part of their Eddy's Brother disguise. This is the same shirt he wears when we finally see him in the series finale.
# Literature.HarounAndTheSeaOfStories: 11. After Haroun's mother, Soraya, leaves for Mr. Sengupta, Haroun is only able to concentrate on anything for eleven minutes, as 11:00 was when his mother left.
# Swordfish.LiveActionTV: When Gi-Hun finally gets his credit card containing his prize money, he wasn't informed what the passcode was. Naturally, he typed out 0456, and it worked.
# Homestuck.TropesAToL: Alternians measure time in "solar sweeps" rather than years; one solar sweep, at least as far as age is concerned, is equal to two point sixteen repeating years. (And two solar sweeps equals four and one-third years!)
# Fanfic.FirstFlight: 36. Kerm trees alone are no smarter than a regular tree. However, as a Kerm tree is joined with more Kerm tree cuttings or a kerbal, they become more and more sentient, until they reach 37 or more in total, where they experience a Mind Break without their Keeper by their side. Once they hit 38, their minds begin Shattering, and without the help of a Keeper and two kerbal anchors, will lead to the Kerm becoming fully sapient.
# YMMV.FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld: Probably the biggest example of this for the FNaF series at the time. The reception of the game regarding this trope was bad when it was new on Steam, although this is again because Scott released the game a bit too early. That being said, by the time Scott pulled it, the game's rating was (oddly enough) 87%. By this point, Update 2 changed the overall game, and reception was much better.
# Characters.YuGiOhRushDuel: All members of the series so far are Level 7 monsters, and generally require Level 7 monsters as part of their effects in one way or another.
# Film.BladeRunner2049: "06-10-21". It's the day that the child of Deckard and Rachael was born and the date of death for Rachael.
# Film.Shazam2019: Seven comes up a lot throughout the film.The Seven Deadly Sins, obviously. The Council of Seven Wizards and their seven thrones. By the end of the film, we have been exposed to seven Champions, Billy and his five siblings as well as the Fallen Champion There are seven symbols needed to enter the Rock of Eternity and it must be repeated seven times. When Billy, as Shazam, and Freddy went to a home realtor office to try to purchase a lair, the realtor asks how many rooms they'll need. Billy wants one room while Freddy wants seven. When Billy meets his mother at her apartment, she lives on the seventh floor and her room number is 707. Mister Mind mentions the Seven Realms to Sivana. Meta example: the film happens to be the seventh DCEU film to be released.
# Series.ThePentaverate: Five. The organization is called the PENTAverate (Penta meaning five). To hammer it home, Mike Myers created an Instagram account and in the FIVE days leading up to the first trailer’s release, posted FIVE pictures relating to the number FIVE (Five Guys Burgers and Fries, five dollars, etc.) The trailer dropped on March 16 at 5:55 A.M. and the series premiered on May 5.
# VideoGame.PlanescapeTorment: The Rule of Three, a staple of the Planescape setting. Used subtly for the most part, however. An early discussion about this makes the point that the rule is self-reinforcing for cosmological reasons and that obsessing about it just means seeing it where it's not relevant, real or not.
# SequelHook.VideoGames: Arkham Knight features a version of the Wayne Manor Predator map from Batman: Arkham City with a piano that can open a panel and a case Bruce seems to be working on, one where he suspects a murder victim knew their killer and the number 4-25. At first, it seemed like a case of Trolling Creator as on April 25, 2016, Rocksteady celebrated the 75th Anniversary of The Joker's debut, but it also foreshadows Batman: Arkham VR, which is about Bruce having a nightmare about a Jokerized version of himself killing Nightwing and features 4-25 as an ArcNumber.
# Anime.YumeNoCrayonOukoku: 12. Princesses of the Crayon Kingdom are expected to perform the mirror-viewing ritual when they all become 12, Silver has twelve flaws to work through, and she carries a summoning trinket that contains 12 vegetable companions. Later on it's revealed that the Crayon Kingdom can only hold on for one year (twelve months) without everything being thrown into chaos.
# Myth.MandeMythology: 8. Eight ancestors, eight primordial seeds, eight lands first settled.7. Seven represents the complete androgynous being. Three earrings were worn on the right ear representing the male (penis and two testicles), four were worn on the left indicating the female (vaginal lips). Faro crafted the seven heavens to correspond with the seven waters and seven parts of the earth. The first men and women gave each other tribal scars on the face according to gender: 3 for men, 4 for women.
# Music.InRainbows: 10. In Rainbows has ten letters, the album has ten tracks, tens are prominent in album artwork and promo material, and it was announced ten days before release.It was released ten years after OK Computer, which makes some believe that the two are companion albums. The record was announced on October 1st and came out on the 10th. Then there is the 01 and 10 playlist. It sounds even better if you set a 10 second crossfade on your player.
# Webcomic.CoolAndNewWebComic: 413 as usual, though the date loses its significance since Jhon's birthday is never stated and the comic started on April 10th. Lampshaded by the narrator, who keeps making "geddit?" comments whenever it and other numbers from Homestuck are brought up.
# VideoGame.BlushBlush: Played for laughs, as it's 69.Marshmallow's employee number in the zoo is #69247, or 69 24/7. Anon needs 69 of two different gifts while romancing him. 69 is a potential answer to Reece's math question, along with 42.
# VideoGame.ResidentEvil7Biohazard: In the Beginning Hour demo, the number of sightings of the ghost girl is 7. There are 7 voodoo dolls hanging from the ceiling in the small cupboard. The number of mannequins scattered around the house is also 7.
# Music.HedPE: The band often refers to the year 2012, and draws lyrical themes from various theories surrounding the year.
# VideoGame.MichaelJordanChaosInTheWindyCity: "23", fittingly, since it was Jordan's playing number for the majority of his basketball career, with some rare exceptions.note He wore #9 during his Olympic stints, and very briefly wore #12 in 1990 because of someone stealing his jersey right before a game. When Jordan un-retired a few months after Windy City's release, his usual #23 had been retired, and thus wore #45 for a while; before reverting back to #23 permanently. The "23" hoop makes time freeze, and '23' Icons are extra lives.
