The "Titan injection" is a fluid speculated to be synthesized from Titan spinal fluids, appeared at several plot points. When injected, it converts anyone (without the Power of the Titans) into a Pure Titan. The syringe was introduced in fragments of Eren's memory, where Grisha injects him to pass him the power of the Attack Titan. Later, we see Rod Reiss attempt employ it to have Historia regain the Founding Titan from Eren. It was also used to save Armin who was mortally wounded, by turning him into a titan, then gaining the Colossus Titan. We also learnt much later that Marley uses it on convicted Eldians, turning them into Pure Titans to roam Paradis Island.

CorrectionUm actually ... The injection doesn't converts anyone into a Titan. It only affects Subjects of Ymir.

After Undead learnt about the curse of Izumo Fuuko and knowing that it would be useful in killing him, he brought her to his abandoned hospital hideout. There, he tested various aspects of the curse. However, he was interrupted when the organization infiltrated their base and ambushed him. The conflict ended when Fuuko kissed him and caused a lightning strike to zap both Undead and the assailant, defeating the foe.

CorrectionUm actually ... The kiss didn't cause a lightning strike. The lightning is caused by him cutting her hair.

The kiss caused a meteorite to obliterate the hideout.

The anime adaptation, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, follows similar story-beats as its source material and movie adaption. Scott first meets Ramona in his dreams, then goes to Julie's party, sees Ramona and tries to make small talks but fails. Later, he orders a package from amazon.ca to meet her again, where they agreed to a date. The date ended with them sleeping together. The plot diverges during the fight with Matthew Patel, where instead of beating Matthew like in the graphic novel and movie, he lost and (supposedly) died. Following that, it revolves around Ramona trying to ascertain Scott's where-about.

CorrectionUm actually ... Scott didn't use amazon.ca in the anime adaptation. He used Netflix instead.

In Balatro, you play various poker hands to score points. Apart from standard poker hands, there are some non-conventional ones which are not possible with a standard deck of cards. These are Five of a Kind, Flush House and Flush Five. Perhaps due to the amount of deck manipulation to achieve it, Flush Five boasts the highest base Chip and Mult, as well as the highest Chip scaling and Mult scaling of all the hands.

CorrectionUm actually ... While Flush Five does have the highest base Chips and Mults (160 Chips and 16 Mult), and Chips scaling, it does not have the highest Mult scaling.

It scales by +50 Chips and +3 Mult, but Straight Flush and Flush House scales by +40 Chips and +4 Mult.

On the last hand of poker against D'Arby, Jotaro refused to see his hand, nor exchange his cards. D'Arby was about to call Jotaro after he bet his remaining "soul chips", but Jotaro interrupts by also betting the souls of Kakyoin and Avdol. Right after hearing this raise of ante, in exchange for information about Dio's stand; D'Arby had a mental breakdown, causing him to admit defeat in his heart and lose the gamble.

CorrectionUm actually ... D'Arby didn't lose when Jotaro raised using their souls. He lost after Jotaro raises using his mother's soul.

The sequence of events is:

  1. Jotaro goes all in with his soul chips, together with Avdol's.
  2. D'Arby raises him 6 chips
  3. Jotaro calls him, wagering Kakyoin's soul using an IOU
  4. Jotaro further raises his mother, Holly's soul, in exchange for information about Dio's stand.

In Snowdin, we are introduced to the multicolor tile puzzle by Papyrus. Each colored tile has a different function, and have complicated interactions, as explained by Papyrus. If the player understands Papyrus' explanation, Papyrus will activate the puzzle, only for it to generate an extremely simple layout. If the player doesn't understand it, Papyrus will explain the puzzle again, only to fumble on the details. If the player insist in being confused, Papyrus won't activate the puzzle, allowing the user to skip it. In either situation, the complicated function and interaction of the tiles was completely insignificant to the player.

CorrectionUm actually ... The function of the tiles is significant to gameplay. In Hotland, after hearing Mettaton sing, we revisit the multicolor tile puzzle, but this time with an actual maze and a time limit. The player had to recall the function of the tiles to navigate and complete the maze.

"Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!". Those are the famous words uttered by Youngster Joey in Generation I (though he was unnamed until Generation 3). You encounter him on Route 3, on the way to Mt. Moon. His team consists of a Rattata and an Ekans.

CorrectionUm actually ... Joey does not say those words. The quote is from Youngster Ben instead. Youngster Joey is the other famous Youngster, known for his endless praise of his Rattata in Generation II.

After our duo gets thrown into the Void, they encountered Chris Evans as the Human Torch. They were then captured and brought before Cassandra Nova, the twin sister of Charles Xavier. However, Deadpool betrayed the Human Torch by falsely accusing him of badmouthing her on the way there, incurring her anger and inciting her to tear the flesh off of his bones.

CorrectionUm actually ... Deadpool did not falsely accuse the Human Torch. In the post credit scene, we see that the Human Torch did, in fact, say those things.

In the future of the beta timeline, Mayuri adopted a war orphan, Kagari. When their time machine was discovered and attacked, Kagari was sent back in time with Suzuha. During Suzuha's mission, she lost Kagari. After Suzuha jumped forwards in time to continue her mission, she kept searching for Kagari. When Kagari was found, she was identified by the Metal Upa she has with her, a keepsake from Mayuri.

CorrectionUm actually ... Kagari didn't have a Metal Upa, it was the Green Fairy Upa.

The Mayuri got the Metal Upa from capsule machine, but it was misplaced and ended up together with the time travel thesis in this timeline in 2010.

The Green Fairy Upa was bought from the store in the beta timeline after Kurisu's death.

At the climax of fight against Pucci, many of our protagonists have died after he activated Made of Heaven, barring Emporio. He was brought over to the new universe, much to his confusion. To tie up loose ends, Pucci pursued Emporio in Green Dolphin Prison, ultimately ending up in the ghost room. There, Emporio assimilated Weather Report's stand disc, and used it to remove the oxygen in the room suffocating Pucci and finally killing him.

CorrectionUm actually ... Emporio didn't used Weather Report's stand to remove the oxygen in the room. He actually increased the oxygen level and killed Pucci by oxygen poisoning.

In the Okinawa chapter, the Peek a Boo diving club hosted their own Otoori, an Okinawa drinking custom. In their variant, everyone adds the liquor of their choice to a pot, then everyone drinks from the same pot. The liquor that was added includes a hearty dose of classic Spirytus by the club members, and Awamori by Kouhei and Iori. More ridiculously, laboratory ethyl ethanol was added by the chemistry major student.

CorrectionUm actually ... Ethyl ethanol (80%) was not added, because it would reduce the alcohol concentration of the pot, which was mainly 96% Spirytus.

In the original release of Maple Story, players start as a Beginner. Only after reaching level 10, they can transition into their first job by talking to the respective NPC in the area:

  • To be a Archer, Athena Pierce in Henesys.
  • To be a Warrior, Dances with Balrog in Perion.
  • To be a Magician, Grendel the Really Old in Ellinia
  • To be a Rogue, the Dark Lord in Kerning City

CorrectionUm actually ... Players can choose Magician as a job once they hit level 8.

A patch later on standardized it to be 10.

Enya the Hag controls Justice, a terrifying stand that is made of a cloud of fog. It can control anybody by tying strings of fog into their open wounds. Since it is a fog, it is also basically impervious to physical attacks. Justice was ultimately defeated when Jotaro uses Star Platinum's agility and power to disperse Justice before it can reform itself.

CorrectionUm actually ... Jotaro did not disperse Justice. He used Star Platinum to inhale Justice, causing Enya to suffocate.

"Gotta catch 'em all" has been the slogan for the Pokemon franchise. Thus, when the original Japanese Generation II was released, they introduced 100 new Pokemons to catch. The Pokedex also includes the Generation I Pokemons, which gives a total of 251 unique Pokemons. On top of that, they introduced Shiny variants for the Pokemon, which appears extremely rarely and is a prized item for collectors. For the less extreme fans, they (though somewhat misguidedly) added Unown, a Pokemon shaped based on the English alphabet with 26 different forms (in that generation) to collect. To accommodate for players who wishes to fill their PC with all unique Pokemons (excluding Shiny Pokemons) and Unown forms, they also increased the PC Pokemon storage capacity from 240 to 280, just barely enough to fit them.

CorrectionUm actually ... The initial Japanese release of Generation II doesn't have 280 space for the PC. It only have 270, which makes it shy of the 251 + 25 (other forms of Unown) = 276 slots required to fill the PC with unique Pokemons and their forms. For the international release, they increased it to 280. Kind of hints that Unown was not well thought out.

Note: the 2 other forms of Unown, based on the question mark and exclamation mark, are introduced in Generation III.

Digimon need a lot of food to stay alive. Thus, File City has a farm that grows vegetables such as Super Carrots and Hawk Radish that are supplied daily to the player for free to feed their Digimon. Initially ran by Tanemon, you can improve the farm by recruiting other Digimons to the town, such as Palmon and finally Vegiemon.

CorrectionUm actually ... The vegetables are not free. The farm in File City don't primarily grow vegetables. They grow meat, and those are the daily supplies. Vegetables can be purchased once Vegiemon runs the farm.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
