In order to obtain the Founding Titan, Marley commenced the Paradis Island Operation, deploying a total of 3 Warriors, each with a specific role.
Annie, the Female Titan, transported the team to Wall Maria, while luring and gathering Pure Titans.
Bertolt, the Colossus Titan broke the outer wall, while Reiner, the Armored Titan breached in inner walls, spilling the Titans into Shiganshina.
This allowed them to infiltrate Paradis to attempt to steal the Founding Titan.

Correction
Um actually ... Marley deployed 4 Warriors. There is also Marcel, who was supposed to transport the team together with Annie, but he was eaten by a Titan in Paradis.

After defeating the 15 Stand users whose stands are named based on tarot cards, we learn about the existences of a group of elite Stand users serving Dio, known as the Egypt 9 Glory Gods. Our protagonists then encounter and fight each member of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, giving us some memorable match-ups such as Iggy against Petshop; Joseph and Avdol against Mariah; and Jotaro, Joseph and Kakyoin against Terence T. D'Arby.

CorrectionUm actually ... The protagonists did not fight all of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods. In particular, they did not fight Oingo and Boingo. The two "self-destructed" when scheming to take down the group.

We follow Fighter D as he infiltrates the Ranger organization and participate in their Ranger exam. For the final exam, the Cadets are tasked with retrieving a key from their Junior members. When they realized that only 5 keys (and thus only 5 cadets can pass), the cadets was reorganized into two teams who fight over the keys. At the climax of the exams, each cadet engage in a showdown against their counterpart cadet in the same battalion for the key.

CorrectionUm actually ... Not all cadet fought their counterpart. Specifically for the Blue Battalion, it wasn't Ranmaru that fought Eigen, it was Fighter XX in disguise.

Waver Velvet stole his teacher's artifact and joined the Fourth Holy Grail War in the events of Fate/Zero. Despite having a strong bond with Rider, he ultimately lost the war. He then returns to the Clock Tower for further studies, and became a professor. Since his teacher died in the war, he also inherited the title of Lord El-Melloi, after convincing from the next heir.

CorrectionUm actually ... Waver did not inherit the title of Lord El-Melloi. He insisted that he is titled Lord El-Melloi II, since he felt unworthy to be compared to his teacher.

After experiencing the trauma of his mother's death, Eren, together with Mikasa and Armin, enlists in the 104th Cadet Corps. They are joined with other cadets around their age, notably Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Ymir, Christa, Sasha, Jean, Marco and Conny. They are trained by Keith Sadies, who previously was the commander of the Scout Regiment.

CorrectionUm actually ... Ymir was not the same age as the trio. She was a Titan for around 60 years before turning back to human, so her actual age is over 70.

Before stand names are mostly named after music references, in their debut in part 3 Stardust Crusaders, they are all named after either tarot cards (for the earlier appearing stands of both protagonists and antagonists), or Egyptian gods (for the enemy stands of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods that appear after our protagonists arrive at Egypt).

Correction
Um actually ... Not all stands in part 3 are named after tarot cards or Egyptian gods. Cream by Vanilla Ice is named after the British band.
(Also, there is Tenor Sax, but he was defeated before we learn of his stand name)

In Cult of the Lamb, the player is guided by the mentor Ratau about several basics to managing a cult. Strangely enough, he also introduced us to Knucklebones, a fan favourite minigame. Any time between crusades, the player can visit Ratau to wager coins in this minigame that is both a mix of strategy and luck. Further into the game, the player can unlock more characters to play against, such as Flinky, Klunko and Bop and Shrumy, in that order of difficulty.

Correction
Um actually ... You cannot play against Ratau at every point in the game. There is a series of event with the Fox which culminates in sacrificing Ratau, after which he is no longer available for Knucklebones.

One of quirky characters is Pieyon, the bird mask wearing, muscular strength-training YouTuber. He is the top earner of Ichigo Production, the company managing the up and coming B-Komachi. He contributed much to the growth of B-Komachi, firstly by giving Ruby and Kana the exposure for their idol group to his viewer base, while subjecting them to a gruelling physical routine whilst wearing the same bird masks. Later, after Mem-cho joined the group, he was the physical trainer to improve their stamina for their performance, making them sprint up hills and perform numerous rehearsals of their dance routine.

CorrectionUm actually ... Pieyon did not train the girls. He was on vacation, and it was actually Aqua in disguise that was training them.

In the leap from the pseudo 3D in Super Mario Kart into true 3D, Mario Kart 64 introduced some new items. These includes the Super Mushroom (AKA the Golden Mushroom), the Fake Item Box, the Spiny Shell (AKA Blue Shell), and various triple variants of previous items such as, the Triple Mushrooms, the Triple Bananas, the Triple Green Shells and the Triple Red Shells.

CorrectionUm actually ... Mario Kart 64 does not have Triple Bananas. It has Banana Bunch instead, which gives a trail of 5 bananas. Triple Bananas is introduced in Mario Kart Arcade GP instead.

Despite being faked out as the boss in the Temple of Styx, Cerberus never harms Zagreus during any of his escapes from the underworld. Instead, he rests next to the throne of Hades, allowing Zagreus to pet him. He is rather attached to Zagreus, and threw tantrums which destroyed multiple places within the House of Hades when he found out about Zagreus leaving.

CorrectionUm actually ... Cerberus does harm Zagreus during a playthrough, albeit indirectly. In the fight with Hades with Extreme Measures 4 enabled, Cerberus will be summoned, causing falling rocks which can damage the player.

After discovering Nezuko's immunity to sunlight, Kagaya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, declared a training regiment for all its members. A training regiment was devised for the lower-ranking Demon Slayers, where each part is supervised by each of the Hashira's, with the exception of Giyu who was initially unsure about his worthiness as a Hashira, and Shinobu who was tasked with aiding Tamayo with her research. We follow Tanjiro as he completes each of these trainings of the Hashiras, beginning with fitness and stamina training under the retired Sound Hashira. Other trainings includes flexibility training under the Love Hashira, swordsmanship training under the Serpent Hashira, and finally ending with the most gruesome training under the Stone Hashira.

CorrectionUm actually ... Tanjiro did not complete all of the Hashira's training. In particular, his training with the Wind Hashira was suspended after a scuffle broke up due to circumstances around Genya.

In Pokemon Red/Blue, the player journeys through Kanto, defeating Gym leaders along the way to obtain the badges required to face the Elite Four and Champion. A typical journey starts at Pallet Town to obtain their starter Pokemon. After some adventuring, the player tackles the first gym they encounter, beating Brock to get the Boulder badge. Subsequently, they beat Misty in Cerulean City for the Cascade badge then Lt. Surge in Vermilion City for the Thunder badge

Old RevisionIn Pokemon Red/Blue, the player journeys through Kanto, defeating Gym leaders along the way to obtain the badges required to face the Elite Four and Champion. Assuming the player tackles the Gyms in the order they encounter them, a typical journey starts with beating Brock to get the Boulder badge, Misty in Cerulean City for the Cascade badge then Lt. Surge in Vermilion City for the Thunder badge.

CorrectionUm actually ... The first Gym that the player encounters is in Viridian City, which is hosted by Giovanni, who is not available at that point in time.

The film Léon, follows an Italian-American hitman of the same name. Natalie Portman debuted in this film, acting as Mathilda, a 12 year old girl whose family was killed by corrupt DEA agents. Léon reluctantly sheltered her while the officers are searching for the missing drugs. The rest of the story follows Mathilda learning about how to be a hitman, preparing to exact vengeance for the death of her whole family.

CorrectionUm actually ... Her vengeance was not for her whole family, it was only for her younger brother, as she wasn't on good terms with the rest of her family.

Communication is important when coordinating the fight against demons. Thus, each member of the Demon Slayer Corps is assigned a black crow who can talk and pass messages. Despite looking rather alike, each of the crows have their own personalities and traits, such as Tanjiro's being intelligent and prideful (frequently calling Tanjiro a "bird-brain"), Tengen's crow being fashionable and Muichiro's having long eyelashes and being abrasive to others.

CorrectionUm actually ... Not all members are assigned a black crow that can speak. Zenitsu is assigned Chuntaro, who is neither a black crow, nor could speak (though he is still classified as a "Kasugai Crow")

In Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, after Austin and Venessa are caught; Dr Evil, in a cliche "Bond-villain" mannerism, decides to slowly lower the two into a tank filled with sharks, with lasers attached to their heads. Then he returns to having dinner, closing the door to the tank. His son, Scott Evil, advising to observe their deaths, and even suggested to simply shoot them with a gun instead, but those advice fell to deaf ears.

CorrectionUm actually ... They didn't have a tank filled with sharks. Due to sharks being on the endangered list at the time, getting sharks was too difficult. Instead, they used sea bass, with lasers attached to their heads.

Mitsuri, the Love Hashira, is one of the fan favourite Hashira. In her backstory, we learnt that she possess immense strength even as a child, easily overpowering even grown man. However, she found herself unable to find a suitor growing up. After her failed marriage negotiations, she realized that she has to hide her true self. She pretended to be weak, held back from eating and even dyed her hair pink in order to be more attractive. In the end, she joined the Demon Slayer Corps to fulfil her goal of finding a suitable husband who is stronger than her, rising to the ranks of a Hashira due to her physical prowess.

CorrectionUm actually ... She didn't dye her hair pink. It became pink because she ate too much sakura mochi.

It was deemed abnormal and thus she dyed her hair black. (However, this doesn't seem to occur in the manga, and was depicted in the anime)

In Invincible, Robot was a rather mysterious figure. He was initially part of the Teen Team, who later joined and was appointed the leader of the new Guardians of the Globe after the previous guardians died. Throughout the series, we see that he is scheming some plan with the Mauler Twins, aiding their escape from prison. It was later revealed that the robot was controlled by a human who suffered serious deformations and illness. He was then aided by the twins to artificially create a body made from his team member's, Rex Splode's, blood. The twins then help transfer his consciousness from the original body to this new one.

CorrectionUm actually ... His consciousness is not transferred to the new body. It was duplicated over to the new body, and the original died of its illness.

In the original 151 Pokemons, Psyduck and Slowpoke are the two "derpy-looking" Water/Psychic types. Psyduck has mystical powers, but doesn't recall using them; which is why it always looks so confused. Meanwhile, Slowpoke is so oblivious that if something bites its tail, it won't even notice for a whole day. In episode 66 of the anime, when the team is tasked by Oak to figure out what causes the evolution of Slowpoke to Slowbro, Misty's Psyduck comes out of it's Pokeball and proceed to have a long, seemingly random and unintelligible conversation with a Slowpoke.

CorrectionUm actually ... Psyduck is not a Water/Psychic type, it is a pure Water type despite it's namesake.

(The Japanese name of Psyduck was Ko-duck, which could mean "child-duck" and thus does not hint at its psychic abilities at all)

Yor Forger, previously Yor Briar, works for Garden as an assassin under the code name "Thorn Princess". She is highly well-suited in her role, having immense physical strength that even easily overpower WISE agent Fiona Frost when playing tennis. She is also highly resistant to poison. She drank a cocktail laced with pufferfish poison, and only felt slightly unwell. When fighting the assassins on the cruise ship, she was unfazed after inhaling poison gas capable of taking down a bear.

CorrectionUm actually ... She did not feel unwell after drinking the poison. She was suffering from a gunshot wound during the previous assignment, and drinking the poison relieved her pain.

Compound V is chemical that plays an important part in The Boys TV series. Supes, who initially were thought to be born naturally, were actually created by Vought when they inject babies with this chemical, granting them super powers. It also boost the performance of Supes when injected and was also responsible for creating super-powered terrorists. In the fight against Supes, even our protagonists, Butcher and Hughie, resorted to using it to gain laser eyes and teleportation respectively.

CorrectionUm actuallly ... Butcher and Hughie did not use Compound V. They used Temp V, which is a newly developed, temporary version of the chemical.

In Jujutsu Kaisen 0, we follow the high school student Yuta Okkotsu. He is cursed by his childhood friend and love interest, Rika; who died in a freak accident and became an extremely powerful, overprotective spirit that harms anyone who threatens him. He became skilled at using a katana, which not only serves for combat purposes but also to controls the cursed energy from Rika.

CorrectionUm actually... Yuta was the one who (unknowingly) cursed Rika, rather it is the other way around, as he was unable to accept her death.

In the final episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, after the protaganists lose the fight against Pucci, Emporio finds himself in Green Dolphin Street Prison. Emporio tricks Pucci into inserting Weather Report's Stand disc into his head, thereby granting him its powers. Using the stand to fill the room with pure oxygen, Emporio finally defeats Pucci. The season ends in a bittersweet moment where we see Emporio and Ermes hitchhiking a ride with Jolyne and Anasui, who are now a couple.

CorrectionUm actually ... Due to Pucci resetting the universe, the characters at the end are not the same as the ones that we've known throughout the story. They resemble their counterparts, but don't share their names. Their names are actually Eldis, Irene and Anakis respectively,

Chisato is an elite Lycoris, an agent of a government-sponsored all-female task force of assassins and spies made up of orphans. She has such great agility that she can dodge bullets at point blank range. Due her poor accuracy with a gun, she uses this skill to dodge enemy attacks while getting closer, allowing her to hit her shots.

spoilerUm actually ... She doesn't have poor gun accuracy. It is because of her insistence of using non-lethal rubber bullets which have a less predictable trajectory which requires her to get closer.

In the Eternity Devil arc, Special Division 4 is sent into a hotel to kill the Eternity Devil who is said to reside in an hotel. After realizing that they are trapped in there, the team falls into disarray. The devil offers to release them if they feed Denji to him. Kobeni attempts to kill Denji to accept the Eternity Devil's offer, but fails. Finally, the devil was defeated when Denji jumping straight into its mouth, sawing through its flesh, finding its heart and destroying it.

spoilerUm actually ... Denji did not find the devil's heart. The devil's heart was inaccessible to the protagonists, and thus it was effectively invincible. However, it still can feel pain and thus was unable to bear the torment of Denji repeatedly attacking him for days, and ultimately revealed the heart to Denji to destroy.
