After Pucci obtained Made in Heaven, he began accelerating time for all non-living things in the universe. Due to this, the whole world experienced various strange phenomena. These includes corpses rotting quickly, vehicle moving so faster than a person could operate leading to widespread accidents, the sun and moon moving at fast speeds across the sky, and oddly specifically, every manga artists being unable to keep up with the weekly release schedule.

CorrectionUm actually ... Not every manga artist is unable to keep up. In particular, Kishibe Rohan is able to keep up with the accelerated schedule.

Poker hands are improved by Planet cards. These Planet cards are based on various planets and dwarf planets from our Solar system, each improving the score of a specific hand type. There is also Planet X, which is based on the speculated planet that is beyond Neptune. The most elusive Planet card, that appears rarely when opening Planet packs, is the Black Hole, which increases the score of all hand types.

CorrectionUm actually ... Even though it appears in Planet packs, Black Hole is not a Planet card. It is a spectral card, based on its card design and interaction with various Planet card based jokers such as Constellation.

The main antagonist of this part are the Pillar Men. Though they are extremely powerful, sunlight (and thus Hammon) is lethal to them. Therefore, Kars, their leader, seeks the Red Stone of Aja to become immune to it. After using it with the Stone Mask, he ultimately obtain such power, but was killed when Joseph threw him into a volcano.

CorrectionUm actually ... Kars didn't die in the volcano. The volcano eruption propelled him into outer space which froze him and incapacitated him.

In her attempt to escape prison and stop the scheme of Pucci, a priest who is a follower of Dio, Jolyne have various allies to aid her. These includes inmates such as Ermes and F.F from the female ward, and Anasui and Weather Report from the male ward. There is also Emporio, a child who was born in prison whose stand creates a "ghost room" for the team to gather.

CorrectionUm actually ... F.F is not an inmate. F.F is a group of plankton that gain powers when Pucci gave it a stand disc. They took the form of a female inmate, Atroe, after befriending Jolyne.

When Giorno joined Passione, he entered into Bucciarati's team. They were assigned the task of delivering Trish Una to the boss. After discovering that the boss is trying to kill Trish, his daughter, the gang rebelled against the boss. However, despite ultimately killing Diavolo, the boss, many of their members are killed, as Giorno and Mista are the only members of the team that survived.

CorrectionUm actually ... Fugo is also still alive, though he didn't join the rebellion against the boss.

In the original Fate visual novel/eroge, there are 3 different routes that are possible, each based on a female character. Each route is given a suffix to identify it, and the anime adaptations added this suffix to specify which route they are adapting. Studio DEEN adapted the Saber route which has the "Stay Night" suffix, and thus named it Fate/Stay Night. Both Studio DEEN and ufotable adapted Rin's route, and thus Fate: Unlimited Blade Works. Lastly, ufotable also adapted Fate: Heaven's Feel, which is Sakura's route.

CorrectionUm actually ... The visual novel is called Fate/stay night thus the last 2 anime adaptations are called Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works and Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel accordingly.

Saber's route is suffixed with "Fate". Thus if we were to follow the suffixing logic for the first anime series, we would get Fate/stay night: Fate. This confusing title may be why the first anime adaption dropped the route name.

In Pokemon Red/Blue, we visit multiple cities and towns on our journey. Most of them have a single building with the GYM label, housing a Gym Leader. The only exception to this is Pallet Town, the players starting town; and Lavender Town, where it has the Pokemon Tower instead.

CorrectionUm actually ... Saffron City doesn't have a single building with the GYM label. In addition to the official Psychic Gym, Saffron City has a fighting dojo, a building that also has the GYM label, even though it doesn't have an official Gym status. Also, there is no Gym Leader inside, instead it is the Karate Master.

In Fire Red and Leaf Green, the dojo no longer has the GYM label, but it still has a GYM signage outside.

The Cadet Corps train and educate cadets. Only the top 10 graduates can apply for Military Police after graduation. We follow Eren and his friends as they graduate from the 104th Cadet Corps. Unsurprisingly, the 3 Marley "spies", Annie, Reiner and Bertolt occupied the top 3 spots, likely due to their previous military trainings. Or it could also be due to their power of the Titan, as Eren ranked right below them.

Correction
Um actually ... The Marley warriors didn't occupy the top 3 spots.
Mikasa is first place, followed by the 3, then Eren at 5th.

Alessi is one of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, controlling Sethan who can reduce the age of those who touches the shadowy Stand, even to the point of becoming a fetus.
It also de-ages the target's Stand, making it weaker and less potent.
At the climax of the battle, he managed to de-age Jotaro into a little boy and weaken his Stand. However, he was ultimately defeated when he underestimated Jotaro's weakened Stand, which was still comparatively powerful.

CorrectionUm actually ... Alessi didn't lose to Jotaro's Stand. Jotaro got his Stand after childhood, thus he lost his Stand when he de-aged. Alessi was beaten up by child Jotaro, which undid the de-aging.

Boons enhances Zagreus with powers from various gods.
The highest tier Legendary boons can only appear in a run if Zagreus obtained certain prerequisite boons, which makes them more elusive. All of they provide powerful combat abilities, such as giving extra cast ammo, providing a damage blocking shield, and even granting extra death defiances.

Correction
Um actually ... Not all legendary boons are combat oriented.
Specifically, Huge Catch (one of Poseidon's legendary boon) increases the frequency of fishing spots, which is also the scripted introduction of legendary boons to the player.

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.
