One Degree of Separation	comment	Say one day you meet a girl and fall in love. Nothing wrong with that. However, on your wedding day, when you meet her father, you remember that he's the guy who failed you in biology in the twelfth grade. Okay, odd, but not inconceivable. But wait, isn't her mother the one who sat next to you at a bus station five years ago and gave you great life advice? And her cousin looks familiar, too. Hold on, it seems you've met her entire family at one point or another throughout your entire life. And then she comes up to you and reveals that she's met your whole family before as well. In fact, you are her father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. It seems there's only One Degree of Separation. This is where every character is tangentially connected to almost every other character. It doesn't matter if it's an Easter Egg or important to the Myth Arc. Everyone's connected. This trope does manage to somewhat be Truth in Television: in the 1960s, American social psychologist Stanley Milgram's "small-world experiment" found that the average connection between any person in the United States as being around three friendships. While more recent studies on global links between any random person are more inconclusive, games such as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon show that the "six degrees" concept is at least true when restricted to people within the same professional field, such as actors or musicians. A Super-Trope to Already Met Everyone, Everyone Is Related and Everyone Went to School Together. Often part of a Jigsaw Puzzle Plot or a Hyperlink Story. Sometimes just a lot of Contrived Coincidence. See also Generation Xerox. Gets much more complicated when you have a large cast who all seem to know each other. Or if they don't they quickly do thanks to You ALL Share My Story. Can be seriously aggravated by the presence of Immortals, also prevalent in Generation Xerox. Subtrope of Connected All Along. Not to be confused with Six Degrees of Separation, which does nonetheless use a version of this trope.

One Degree of Separation / int_11f09a3d	comment	Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! has its characters sorted into five units - Leo/need, MORE MORE JUMP!, Vivid BAD SQUAD, WonderlandsÃ—Showtime, and Nightcord at 25:00. Every unit has members who are friends or associates with another unit, and the event stories gradually have them introducing their teammates to each other. Inter-unit relationships start with a downplayed Everyone Went to School Together, with all the characters being of school age and attending one of two schools. At Miyamasazuka Girls Academy, MMJ's Minori is classmates with L/n's Shiho and VBS' Kohane; WÃ—S's Emu is classmates with L/n's Honami; L/n's Saki and Ichika are classmates of MMJ's Haruka, and MMJ's Shizuku and Airi are classmates. N25's Mafuyu also goes to this school, and is in the archery club with Shizuku. At Kamiyama High School, VBS' An is classsmates with N25's Mizukinote though Mizuki tends to skip school whenever they can get away with it, and WÃ—S's Nene is classmates with VBS's Toya. VBS's Akito and WÃ—S's Tsukasa and Rui also attend this school; Rui and Mizuki are both "outcasts" who met when they happened to hide on the roof at the same time. Ena attends night classes here. N25's Kanade is homeschooled. From there, things dive into Contrived Coincidence... Saki and Tsukasa are siblings, Shizuku and Shiho are sisters, and Akito and Ena are siblings. Tsukasa and Toya were childhood friends; Tsukasa was the driving factor behind Toya abandoning his father's designs on a family of classical musicians. Honami works for a housekeeping agency, and was hired to attend to Kanade's place by the latter's grandmother. An and Haruka were childhood friends before the latter became an idol, as were Ena and Airi.

At this point, he's worked in a Mayan museum (that would be stolen from), for a Parisian fashion designer (whose work would be sabotaged), witnessed an Italian cat burglar escaping, tamed monkeys near a Bahaman resort, and stayed in a 'haunted' Japanese inn...yet Nancy never actually meets him until The Shattered Medallion, despite seeing marks of his presence in near every case she investigates.

One Degree of Separation / int_1543f8a	comment	Zero Time Dilemma has 9 protagonists and only four preexisting relationships in that group. However, once time travel gets involved, things get more complex: Phi is actually the daughter of Diana and Sigma, and the latter is an employee of Akane, who is Junpei's Childhood Friend. One of Junpei's teammates in the first game got injured investigating Free the Soul, a cult which is led by minor character Delta, who is Phi's twin brother. Delta created an A.I (Q (Sean), who is one of the main 9) and based the A.I's thought patterns off of the original Sean who died from an illness that he could have survived, if the surgeon who was supposed to operate on him hadn't hired a taxi which would then get in a fatal car crash. Now, the surgeon was only able to hire that taxi in particular because someone else- Akane's father- had called it to their neighbourhood for his own use, but was arrested before he could enter the taxi. That man was arrested because the police wrongfully blamed him for the murder of Eric's mother, which was really perpetrated by Mira. Much later, Mira worked with Delta (alongside Q!Sean), and started dating Eric. Hilariously, Zero (Delta) actually retroactively explains most of these connections in his anecdote at the start of the game. Every character in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors was either directly involved with, or knew somebody who was involved with, the Nonary Game that took place 9 years ago. Snake, Santa, June/Akane and Clover were forced to participate (in fact, June and Santa both organized the current Nonary Game,) Seven was investigating the kidnappings leading up to it which eventually led to him crashing and disrupting said game, Lotus' daughters were both kidnapped and forced to participate, Junpei is childhood friends with June, and Ace and the Ninth Man - as well as the two corpses the players find, were all the organizers of the game.

One Degree of Separation / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance has way too many characters for them all to be connected, but there are many examples of completely random connections, especially between the different alternative realities. This is partly in that the dimensions are indeed parallel and often have many similarities, but only partly. Often it's more that the reader can notice the coincidences, not so much the characters, because different people meet different people. The story "Oceans Unmoving" featuring Bun-bun but none of the other main characters features several characters who have been blasted out of time itself, mostly by failed Time Travel devices. A later story shows how one of them got there in the first place and refers to another having got there the same way. Some other main characters see this, but they have no idea Bun-bun has encountered these people, and he himself isn't present at this time to notice the connection (and might not anyway). At the end of the second volume the strip had a flowchart describing all the major characters and how they all interacted with each other, with Torg at the center. Everyone was one degree of separation from Torg.

One Degree of Separation / int_1dd9862b	comment	Many of the new characters in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School are somehow connected to the old cast(s). Yukizome was the Cool Teacher of the Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair cast, Kizakura was Jin Kirigiri's best friend, Sakakura was the head of security at Hope's Peak and inadvertently helped motivate Hinata to become Izuru Kamukura, Andou, Izayoi and Kimura were expelled thanks to Komaeda's efforts to get the school exams cancelled, and Mitarai was not only a member of Class 77-B, but a close friend of the Imposter and Tsumiki as well as Junko Enoshima's unwilling accomplice. Even Hinata, who was the least connected to Class 77-B, gains a few extra connections by having him not only become friends with Natsumi Fuyuhiko the day before she died, but also with Chiaki before she dies in real life as well. And every character, in all the games, has either attended Hope's Peak at some point or is directly related to someone who did. Even the spinoffs aren't immune: in Killer Killer, Hijirihara and the rest of Division 6 run into former Hope's Peak accolade Juzo during a underground colosseum bust, and both Hijirihara and the main villain got their love of killing from seeing Mukuro slaughter their school.

One Degree of Separation / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes is a user of this trope as well, though to a lesser extent than Lost, with even some characters saying, "We're all connected." Though considering that many of the characters are the children of the founders of The Company or were manipulated by it, this doesn't seem too implausible. And the writers of doing a pretty good job of remembering that not everyone has met everyone. For example, it took two full seasons for Matt and Hiro to meet: The same thing happens with Claire and Hiro, and they have a whole episode centering around it with lampshading of how they never met each other. Technically, they have met. However, how was Hiro supposed to recognize a toddler he probably didn't even look up to see (he was buried in a handheld video game) when he was little? Though they sometimes slip up-like how Nathan in early season 2 seemed to have forgotten meeting almost everyone, even people he met before the events of the finale. On a related note, the fact that new Petrellis keep cropping up certainly implies this. Charles Deveaux is never actually seen doing anything while he's alive. He's shown unconscious a couple of times, once in Peter's dream, and then he's dead. He seems to be unimportant; just a plot mechanism to connect Simone and Isaac to the Petrellis. But after his death Charles become increasingly important, until by Volume 4 it's revealed that he was the leading founder of the Company. Ditto Linderman to an extent. Initially he just seems to be a powerful mobster who has very generic interests. While there are a few hints that there is more to his character while he's alive, we don't really begin to find out about him until after he dies.

One Degree of Separation / int_30a5ebfd	comment	In Naruto, the ninja community, particularly at the higher levels of skill, is pretty small. That, and data gathering and dissemination through "bingo books" so ninja don't get taken unawares by their enemies, means that every high level ninja has likely at least heard of every other one. As for personal connections, there are many. For example, the titular character is mentored by Kakashi Hatake whose father Sakumo killed the parents of Sasori. Sasori would go on to join the terrorist organization Akatsuki, who's numbers include Itachi Uchiha, the brother of one of Kakashi's other students, Sasuke. Sasori's previous partner in Akatsuki was Orochimaru, the former teammate of Jiraiya, who mentored both Akatsuki's founders and Minato Namikaze, who would himself mentor Kakashi. And Jiraiya later mentors Naruto himself, just like he did his father Minato.

Turns out and Jeff helped break up Shirley's marriage, Abed got Annie arrested for her pill addiction, Shirley accidentally got Dean Pelton to embrace his Creepy Crossdresser and Camp Gay tendencies, etc. Specifically, Abed is shown to be the one character who had a hand in bringing everyone together. He compares himself to the villain of their superhero origin story. Then it turns out Chang, of all people, helped out as well.

And your boyfriend, what a coincidence, feels obliged to fulfill a debt owed to the same family that abused and starved you for three years! And that same family produced that gamin on the streets who's taking care of his brothers who were supposed to go live with your boyfriend's grandfather and mon dieu let's talk about the Parisian sewers. And then the barricades, where every surviving character fit for battle (and a few who aren't, like Valjean (seventy-two going on eighty) and Eponine (starving, lovesick, homeless and female) shows up either during the battle or in the sewers.

Voldemort's wand, in turn, contains another feather from the same phoenix (which becomes a major plot point starting in book 4) Bathilda Bagshot, the magical historian, is tangentially related to a whole host of characters. She was Dumbledoreâ€™s neighbor as a kid and a friend of his motherâ€™s and privy to the familyâ€™s many secrets. She was Gellert Grindelwaldâ€™s great-aunt who offered him a place to stay where he eventually met Dumbledore. She also was a neighbor of Harryâ€™s as a baby and Lily Potter mentions to Sirius in a letter that Harry finds she was the one person they saw regularly in hiding.

As they handle the changes to the world and their lives, it becomes clear odd connections are happening to link them together. Saanvi was young doctor who was working on a breakthrough leukemia treatment. She discovers the treatment is now implemented and working great on patients...one of whom is Cal, a young boy who was on the plane and would have died in 2013 but now can be cured. Ben helps fellow passenger Radd when the latter's son is arrested for robbery. Ben is checking out a storage locker of mementos owned by a man who was dating Ben's "widow" Grace. While there, Ben runs into the son of the owner of the store outside a locker filled with the stolen goods. The guy had robbed the place himself and set up Radd's son and was planning to sell the stuff off when Ben found him. Michela listens to a "voice" that tells her to free a lost dog. It turns out that the owner happens to have abducted two young girls. Michela investigates the murder of a passenger who had a necklace stolen. Later, Michela saves the mother of a late friend from being hit by a car. When Michela checks on the driver, she recognizes her as that passenger's maid with the necklace right in plain sight and realizes she's the killer. While working different cases, Michela and Saanvi manage to come together to aid a flight attendant from the plane in finding a lost stowaway. It's openly addressed by the characters that this all goes beyond Contrived Coincidence and instead indicates some sort of design is at work.

It turns out that King was a childhood friend of Diane who brainwashed her to forget him, and the brother of Ban's lover. Also, Meliodas used to be close friends with Gowther's father, and Gowther himself had a thing like 40 years ago with the aunt of Meliodas' girlfriend, who ''also' had a childhood friend way back that Escanor inherited his powers from. Also, Meliodas is the only man Merlin has ever loved. But none of these connections have anything to do with why they were arrested by the same tiny kingdom or why they were placed on a team with each other.

Rookie Red Ranger Cole Evans (Wild Force Red) is reunited with Wes Collins (Time Force Red) and Eric Myers (Quantum Ranger) while meeting the Red Rangers that came before them. In the 15th anniversary team-up "Once A Ranger", Kira Ford (Dino Thunder Yellow) mentions "Dr. O" (Dino Thunder Black) aka former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Tommy Oliver. Adam Park (Mighty Morphin Black) comments that he cannot believe that Tommy is a doctor now.

Yomogi (from where Kokoro is) is married to Utsumi (from Satoru's location), Lin (Kokoro's location) used to date Satoru, and Keiko (Satoru's location), is the person who Kokoro was planning on meeting, as well as being the person who killed Yomogi and Utsumi's son. Additionally, Satoru is a student of Kyumeikan University Graduate School, while Kokoro goes to Kyumeikan Women's University. Utsumi gave birth to her twins in a "hospital" (actually a lab of some sort) overseen by (the original) Satoru, leading to those twins being involved in the space-time transfer loops along with Kokoro/Satoru and Keiko/Hotori and providing an important clue to the existence of the third area. Even Yuni, who initially seems to have no prior connection to anyone else, turns out to be the key to the whole Stable Time Loop that ultimately results in the shelter cabin refugees being saved, and as part of his efforts to preserve history might have been somehow involved with Satoru during part of 2011, despite his dislike (according to his TIPS bio) of Leiblich.

The former Dark Lord of the Sith died in a capture mission led by Bastila. Revan got better, however, because s/he's also the player character. When this all comes out Mission actually points out how ludicrously unlikely it is, only for Canderous to point out that The Force means this kind of thing happens all the time. And in the sequel, The Exile commanded the Handmaiden's mother and Bao-Dur at Malachor V, a battle Atton was also involved in and Canderous fought in on the other side, and they ended it by using the Mass Shadow Generator, killing Mira's adoptive family, inadvertently creating Visas' master, and inspiring Revan to commission HK-47 so they wouldn't need such overkill in the future. The Exile was also the Disciple's intended master before s/he ran off, so s/he's not only a dominant influence in the lives of everyone on that ship, s/he's also responsible for all their significant neuroses. Furthermore, the Exile was a general for Revan during the Mandalorian Wars.

One Degree of Separation / int_5e092dbd	comment	Kindred Spirits on the Roof involves a few lesbian couples at protagonist Yuna Toomi's school, and while Yuna knows about them through "the kindred spirits," she's linked to them through her Childhood Friend Hina Komano and her newer friend Fuji Ano. For Seina Maki and Miki Aihara, Hina is classmates with Seina and Yuna briefly interacted with Miki before the start of the game. For the broadcasting trio- Umi Ichiki, Sasa Futano and Nena Miyama- Ano is friends with Nena. For Kiri Tsurugimine and Tsukuyo Sonou, Ano is friends with Kiri, while Yuna and Ano are in Tsukuyo's class. For Youka Koba and Aki Ariu, Yuna was classmates with Youka during middle school. Lastly, the track-team couple- captain Matsuri Amishima and vice-captain Miyu Inamoto- are teammates with Hina, and are already quite close with Hina by the time Yuna learns about them.

Turns out Ventus came from this distant past and, as a Dandelion, was transported to the present day by the Foretellers so the arts of Keyblade would not be lost after the Keyblade War. The Nobodies of two other Dandelions, Lauriam and Elrena, later became a part of the Organization (as Marluxia and Larxene, respectively). One of the Foretellers, Luxu, possessed a Keyblade that, after generations, eventually ended up in the hands of Master Xehanort. Luxu himself is also present in the current time under the disguise of Braig, Xehanort's Number Two.

Greatly assisted by the presence of several "temporary immortals" (the longest-lived being Parry) and a literal Fate playing a centuries-long chess game against the Devil. Niobe (Lachesis, the middle Aspect of the incarnation of Fate, formerly Clotho (another Aspect)) is the mother of Orb (Gaia, Incarnation of Nature, from Niobe's second marriage) who's married to Parry (Satan, Incarnation of Evil). Orb's child with Mym (Mars, Incarnation of War), is Orlene (God(dess), Incarnation of Good). Orlene once dated Norton (Chronos, Incarnation of Time), and bore a child (who later died). Niobe's granddaughter, Luna (via Niobe's son from her first marriage), is dating Zane (Thanatos, Incarnation of Death). Kerena (Nox, Incarnation of Night) is a distant ancestor of Orlene's dead husband, and accidentally introduced into her line the curse that would kill Orlene's child. Parry's demon ex-lover, Lilith, is a concubine of Mym. Another Aspect of Fate, Nicolai (Atropos), is a friend of Orb and helped find an adoptive family for Orlene. There's also a very strong hint on the first page of Under a Velvet Cloak that Kerena's sister Katherine is a distant ancestor of Niobe, thus also of Orb, Luna, and Orlene.

Doofenshmirtz's daughter, wife, and himself have also met Phineas and Ferb (and Candace, besides Doofenshmirtz note Well, he kind of met her when she switched bodies with Perry, but that's not really relevant.)) but Doofenshmirtz is still not aware that they are the owners of Perry (He actually became aware in the movie but his memory of this was erased - In fact, that was Clark Kenting taken to a new extreme: knowing their pet platypus was named Perry and could fight weren't enough clues for him - Perry still needed the hat to be recognized by Doofenshmirtz). Doofenshmirtz also at one point dated Linda Flynn, and in one episode, he states that he wants to see her again. And now, as of 'Fireside Girl Jamboree', Doofenshmirtz and Candace have met, as she delivered his cupcakes. Also, Doofenshmirtz's daughter Vanessa seems to be friends with Candace, and Ferb has a crush on her. Doofenshmirtz once took music lessons from Jeremy (Candace's boyfriend) and in another occasion hired Buford (The Bully who occasionally joins Phineas and Ferb) to bully people for him. In both cases, Perry waited until they left before stopping Doofenshmirtz.

Chrono met Rosette and her brother, Joshua, when they woke him up from a long sleep in a tomb. Joshua was then kidnapped by Aion, Chrono's former friend. Chrono and Rosette join the Magdalan Order to try to find Joshua based on advice from Father Remington, a man who was trying to convince Joshua to join the Order because of his powers. Remington was also Mary Magdalene's guard in the Order when Chrono kidnapped her back in 1870. The Elder was her foster father of sorts. During their search for Joshua, Chrono and Rosette run into Azmaria, who has powers startlingly similar to Joshua because they're both Apostles. They all start to look for Joshua together, and run into a "jewel witch" named Satella. Satella is searching for a missing family member, and finds out that her sister, Florette, has become Fiore, Joshua's maid and a servant of Aion. The only characters that don't have a strong connection to Chrono, Rosette or Aion are Sister Kate (Rosette's commander in the Order) and Father Gilliam, an ally of Chrono and Rosette's in the order.

But before that, he runs into an unknown girl who later joins the crew of the Archangel — Cagalli. And she turns out to be his sister. Later on, the Archangel comes across an escape pod from a destroyed ZAFT vessel, containing none other than Lacus Clyne, Athrun's fiancee. By the end of the first season, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny be damned, Kira is romantically attached to Lacus, and Athrun to Cagalli. And their Ace Pilot, Mwu la Fllaga, has an ongoing feud with Athrun's commanding officer, Rau le Creuset, who turns out to be Mwu's father's clone. And the guy who ran the project? The one who eventually genetically modified Kira to be the Ultimate Coordinator. Some even theorize that the guy who ran the project (and is thus Kira and Cagalli's dad), Dr. Hibiki, may have used Al da Flaga's DNA in the Ultimate Coordinator project, adding yet another attachment.

Much later, they collide by a street corner where he accidentally knocks her unconscious with his elbow. His friend from work ALSO has a chance encounter with Moriko, recognizes her voice from back then and asks her out. And ... it just so happens that Yuta and Moriko used to be best friends in another MMO, many years back. And the student behind the counter in the convenience store? He's Yuta's and Moriko's guild leader in the game. This in a country of 127 million people.

Her mother Lucrezia also had an affair with Klaus when she was engaged to Bill, and she at least flirted with this one prince named Aaronev Wilhelm at some point. Both Klaus and Aaronev had sons (though not with Lucrezia) named Gil and Tarvek who went to grade school with each other, and later had a rivalry when they went to the same university. They both met Agatha at different points and both fell in love with her before they had to part ways. Then the two both snuck into a broken castle where they met both each other and Agatha again. Agatha didn't know Gil and Tarvek knew each other until this point. In said castle, there was a girl named Zola who was trying to impersonate Agatha. Zola was not only Agatha's cousin on their mothers' sides, but was also an actress at a place that Gil visited when he was in university. Klaus had a janitor named Dimitri, who used to be an evil Mad Scientist who taught other Mad Scientists in the ways of evil. Dimitri was fraternity brothers with Agatha's paternal grandfather, and was also a close friend with her mother Lucrezia's family. On top of that, he was the teacher of Tarvek's cousin Martellus, and he also created the talking animal that Agatha made friends with when staying at Klaus' place.

One Degree of Separation / int_88383ee7	comment	In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), a large degree of the characters are tightly interconnected, in part due to a massive difference in how Homunculi are "born." Among a number of examples, Roy has a connection with Winry, Lust and Scar are in-laws, Wrath is related to Izumi, and Ed and Al have a connection with at least one Homunculi. Even characters who should have nothing to do with each other due to one of them dying, i.e., Nina and Elicia, are connected by the sheer coincidence of her being invited to Ed's birthday party!

One Degree of Separation / int_8d817ccb	comment	Lost is the epitome of this trope. To give just one example: Charlie played guitar outside the offices where Desmond had a job interview, who in turn once met Jack while jogging in a stadium, and Jack's father, Christian Shephard, is also Claire's father, met Ana Lucia in an airport bar and hired her, got drunk with Sawyer, and that's all before he died. Word of God says that these are not Easter eggs, but rather a part of the larger mythology. All the character connections are shown on this page, with this◊ rather impressive graphic. In Seasons 1-3 such connections only occurred every other few episodes. By the time of Season Six all pretenses are dropped and each episode features cross-character connection at a rate of about once every 15 minutes in the Flash Sideways. Well, by the end of season 3, they'd stopped doing flashbacks at all. They didn't dip back into the past, so it makes sense that the rest of the show would feature the main characters encountering each other. And the Flash Sideways was some sort of mystical alternate dimension engineered specifically to create this sort of thing.

In this case it makes no logical sense whatsoever. For example: Hulk is revealed to have killed Peter Parker's parents even though canonically Spiderman was already a superhero in the UMU when Banner became the Hulk. Quite frankly, anything and everything Bendis established in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up was either retconned away or blatantly ignored almost as soon as the series was published. Even Bendis himself ignored everything.

Also, while Topper's new love interest being on the mission doesn't fit this trope as this is how they met, her having been Ramada's college roommate does. Also parodied in the revealed background between Saddam Hussein and President Benson. Given Benson's military background and involvement in the Iraq operation of the previous movie, its not inconceivable that they could have met, but when they whipped out lightsabers and began dueling, it left no doubt that they were parodying this trope again.

Their father, Taringail Damodred, is a relative of Moiraine Damodred (whose cousin, Caraline Damodred, also appears in the series). Galad's mother, Tigraine Mantear, is also the mother of the main character, Rand al'Thor. Meanwhile, the mother of Elayne and Gawyn had an affair with Thom Merrilin, her court-bard-turned-wandering-gleeman, who likely killed Taringail. Gawyn is now (sort of) romantically involved with Egwene al'Vere, who was Rand's love interest back in the first three books, while Rand is now involved with Elayne. That's just scratching the surface. In this series, They All Share The Story. The mariner Bayle Domon, for example, helped Rand and Mat escape monsters in book one, helped Elayne and Nynaeve hunt the Black Ajah in book four, and traveled with Mat in books eight through 12 or so. None of their meetings were planned, and were barely even voluntary. The Mole who threatened Moiraine in book two also spied on Elayne and Nynaeve in later books. Verin mentored Elayne, Nynaeve, Egwene, Mat, Perrin and Rand, but each in different ways and for different reasons. Character histories like that are completely typical in this series.

One Degree of Separation / int_9a67b688	comment	Case Closed is a long-running mystery series where backstories are usually key revelations—but most of the time, good and bad guys alike are secretly intimately connected to a ridiculous degree, often by complete coincidence. For example, here are instances of this trope regarding only the odd connections of Kudou Shinichi, the main protagonist: Early in the series, Shinichi finds a rival in Kaitou KID, a thief he'd never heard of prior to encountering him during a "joke" heist, and whose true identity he still does not know. But despite their meeting being completely coincidental, with neither having any knowledge of any personal connections, KID's father was Shinichi's mother's mentor and Shinichi's father's rival, and in the thief's own series' manga/anime adaptation, Shinichi's surrogate uncle, Agasa, is heavily implied to be the long-time friend of Jii, KID's surrogate grandfather, as well as the unwitting supplier of the gear Jii gives KID to help with his heists. Further, despite Shinichi's encounter with the Black Organization being pure bad luck, ex-member Haibara's seeking him out for protection being completely unrelated to who Shinichi actually is, and the Black Org having no idea Kudo Shinichi is even still alive to be involved in any of this, the assassin sent after Haibara is the best friend of Shinichi's mother, a friendship she made during her mentorship under Kaito's father. Not only that, but it's the same assassin whose life Shinichi and Ran completely coincidentally encountered and saved while said assassin was undercover as an alleged serial killer, completely ignorant of her real appearance or identity, ties to Shinichi's family, or the Black Org. And after saving that "serial killer," they encounter Akai Shuichi, the FBI agent who would later partner with Shinichi after Shinichi, again entirely by coincidence, gets himself involved with the Black Org. As it turns out, Shinichi randomly met the entire Akai family (sans the father) when he was on a family beach trip as a child before any of this happened, and became Akai Shuichi's little sister's inspiration to be a detective. This just covers a few connections with the main character. The extended cast's connections are just as crazy.

One Degree of Separation / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Nearly every main character in One Piece has a connection to others. The Pirate King Gol D. Roger left his mark everywhere. Even twenty years after his death his influence still seems to reach every corner of the world. Just among the Straw Hat crew, Luffy (unknowingly) wears the hat Roger wore in his youth, his hero Shanks served on Roger's ship, his grandfather was Roger's greatest rival, he was trained by Roger's first mate during the Time Skip, and his adoptive brother Ace is Roger's biological son. Shortly before the main story began, Jimbei had befriended Ace when they stalemated after a five-day battle. Franky's sensei was the one who built Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson. Brook had befriended the man who would become the Pirate King's onboard doctor, Crocus. Usopp's father serves as the sharpshooter in Shanks' crew. The first real pirate antagonist the crew encountered, Buggy the Clown, also apprenticed on Roger's ship alongside Shanks. Robin's goal to discover the "true" history of the world and learn about the events of the "Void Century" has already been completely uncovered by Roger and his crew years ago. The connections just go on and on. While Luffy meets all of his crewmembers for the first time during the events of the story, in his childhood, he heard stories about Usopp from Yasopp, his aforementioned father, who he knew because of his connection with the Red Hair Pirates. Due to this, Luffy is able to immediately identify Usopp as Yasopp's son after meeting him and hearing his name. This is especially evident in the Dressrosa arc, where many of the participants in the Tournament for Ace's devil fruit have a connection to characters that connect them to Luffy: Bartolomeo became a fan of Luffy after witnessing Buggy's failed attempt at executing him in Loguetown, Chinjao has a vendetta against Garp, and Hajrudin wishes to revive the Giant Warrior Pirates. Speaking of Hajrudin, the Whole Cake Island arc reveals he was acquainted with Big Mom when she was banished from Elbaf. He was also friends with Stansen (the giant slave from Sabaody Archipelago), who after the Time Skip has become Hajrudin's crewmate as his shipwright. Also in the Dressrosa arc, we learn that Law's Parental Substitute Donquixote Rosinante doesn't only connect him to Doflamingo, but also to Sengoku, as Rosinante was Sengoku's adopted son. This in turn connects Law to Luffy, as Sengoku and Garp are friends. Incidentally, the only reason Law was able to escape Doflamingo's clutches in Minion Island 13 years ago is because the Marines happened to find X Drake as he ran from Doflamingo's Birdcage. Doflamingo also killed Drake's father that day, but Drake never held a grudge against him for it because Barrels was an abusive father. Reverie arc: Many people whom the Straw Hat met throughout their journey meet up with each other discussing about their common friend. This ranges from Vivi, the Neptune Family, Riku Family, Coby, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, Dalton and Doctor Kureha. Remember Saint Mjosgard, from the Fishman Island flashbacks? His full name is Donquixote Mjosgard. Here, as well as during the subsequent Wano arc, the existence of a near-mythical crew "Rocks Pirates" is brought up - and what do you know, virtually every present-day character that was a pirate in those days was either a part of the crew (Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Shiki, John, Bakkin supposedly, Shakky perhaps), or in opposition of them (Gold Roger and - presumably - his own crew). Many of the modern-day big names, such as Shanks and Blackbeard, were then directly connected to one of the afore-mentioned people. It really seemed like the focal point of the entire recent One Piece history. Wano Country arc: During his travels, Kozuki Oden travelled with both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, the latter of which took him to Laugh Tale. He also met Franky once and offered to let him join the Roger Pirates, but Franky refused. The blacksmith who forged Enma, one of Oden's swords, was an old man who lived in Zoro's home village. Coincidentally, said old man also forged Wado Ichimonji, Kuina's sword which was bequeathed to Zoro after her death. Zoro was acquainted with the old man, but it's not until the Wano Country arc that he makes the connection. Oh, and Zoro is also a direct descendant of Ryuma. Egghead arc: As it turns out, Dragon is personally acquainted with Vegapunk, and both were friends with professor Clover. Vegapunk, for his part, used to work with Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Judge and Queen before he worked for the World Government, and has enough clout with the giants of Elbaf that they freely allowed him access to the books that they salvaged from Ohara. And Shanks is friends with Dorry and Brogy. A flashback reveals that yes, Bakkin was part of the Rocks Pirates, but it wasn't Shakky who was part of the crew... it was Gloriosa. As in, Elder Nyon, who was the Empress of Amazon Lily from three generations ago. Meanwhile, in the present, it is confirmed that Shakky was the Empress from two generations ago. Bonney makes her return to the plot, and she doesn't take long to reveal that she's the adoptive daughter of Bartholomew Kuma, one of the former Seven Warlords and ex-Revolutionary Commander. Through him, she's also personally acquainted with Vegapunk, Sentomaru and Admiral Kizaru.

He and his sister spent time, as children, in the Kururugi household, giving him a personal relationship with his rival, an important businessman, a legendary general, and a girl who will later become an enthusiastic fan of his alter ego. The president of the student council at his school is from a noble family that were supporters of his mother. A military officer he disgraces turns out to have formerly been a guard at his mansion. A Japanese citizen who becomes an important supporter of his rebellion turns out to have been his maid, and also a ninja. Lelouch and Suzaku's relationship is central to the series, not just a coincidence (check how the beginning and ending revolve around their relationship), and both are royalty — Lelouch literally, Suzaku more or less - so it's no surprise that they're well-connected. Anya and Jeremiah are where they are due to the same thing that connects them to Lelouch - Anya gets the piloting ability to be a Knight of the Rounds because she's possessed by Marianne, and Jeremiah and everyone else who cared about Marianne, or Lelouch and Nunnally, came to Area 11 specifically because Lelouch and Nunnally had supposedly died there - including Clovis, as revealed in an audio drama. Lloyd gets engaged to Milly because the Ashford family has Marianne's knightmares, which they have because they were connected to her, which is also the reason they took in Lelouch and Nunnally. Legitimate coincidences include Euphie meeting Suzaku unless she planned it that way, Lloyd meeting Suzaku, Villetta - Jeremiah's second - getting her Knightmare stolen, and then being rescued by Ohgi, Lelouch's classmate Nina has a crush on Euphie and being the one to invent Britannia's superweapon, and a few others - plenty of Diabolus ex Machina to go around for both protagonists. But the level of connectedness in general is pretty typical of monarchies, making it a Trope.

The first set of protagonists Satou and Kojima are friends with the second set of protagonists, Rin and Mayu, respectively. Those two then go to another school to work in a combo event, and the teacher-student pair they meet there â€“ Hikari and Takashi â€“ also get romantically involved with each other. Then the series introduces Kou, the former student council president of Takashi's school who went to the same junior high school as Satou and Rin, and who also gets in a relationship with his teacher Chizuru, who happens to be friends with Hikari. And after all that, a former Child Prodigy becomes a teacher in the first school, is introduced to the students by Kojima, and gets involved in a Love Triangle between herself, Mayu's younger sister Saya, and another student called Yorito, with all three of them being Childhood Friends. It continues on from there, with each new couple being connected to a character from the previous volumes in some way or another.

There was another case in which a girl asked Marten out (after he'd gotten with Dora), was declined, and went to Dora's coffee shop, where she found out. Dora goes Clingy Jealous Girl on Marten for not mentioning that he got asked out, and they argue about it, reconcile, and go out to dinner, where the girl is their waitress. A few strips later, Steve has an unrelated chance run-in with the same girl, and winds up trying to track her down before realizing what he was doing could constitute stalking; leaving the building he's in when he realizes that, he runs into her again. They're now dating. Lampshaded when Yay tries to present themself as a "harmless weirdo" (which they're already so bad at that they immediately say "We are not harmless") to his friend Auriela's daughter (Claire) and is completely unprepared for said daughter's boyfriend (Marten) to be connected to Faye and immediately remember being told about their first appearance in the strip.

As revealed in Birth by Sleep, Ventus, a friend of Lea, Axel's human form, is the light counterpart of Vanitas, the source of the Unversed. Ventus' heart healed itself after the disastrous birth of Vanitas by merging with Sora (in the process giving Sora the ability to wield Keyblade) and that's why Vanitas looks like Sora and Roxas like Ventus. Said merging was under the watchful eyes of Master Xehanort, whom Ventus studied under. This Xehanort was not exactly the same as the current one; he was old and only gained his current form by possessing Ventus' friend, Terra. Terra once met Sora and Riku and was the person who granted Riku the ability to wield Keyblade. Terra and Ventus, by the way, are part of a third trio. The third member is Aqua, who created Castle Oblivion, granted Kairi the ability to wield Keyblade and a means to escape Hollow Bastion should it faced danger (hence why she ended up in Destiny Islands) and also met Sora and Riku; in particular, she gave Sora motivation to save his friends, kickstarting his adventurous personality. The amigos trained under Master Eraqus, Xehanort's blood brother. Coming full circle, Xehanort's homeworld is revealed to be Destiny Islands and the tale of his journey to become a Keyblade Master inspired Riku, leading him to suggest Sora and Kairi to leave the islands.

One Degree of Separation / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Normally , as the relatively small size of the noble class in Westeros means most families will have met or at least heard of each other. Played straight with Arya's experiences wandering among the much more populous small folk: Out of all the people she could have bonded with between Kings Landing and Winterfell, her closest/only friend is naturally the son of her father's best friend. note And likewise on Gendry's end, he immediately bonds with the daughter of the nobleman who prompted him to leave Kings Landing in the first place and niece/Generation Xerox of the woman with whom his father was in love. (On other occasions she ends up serving her family's Arch-Enemy and travelling with her sister's former protector.) Tyrion travels the world from the Wall to King's Landing, to Pentos and to Meereen, and becomes the first of the main cast to interact with every major character and faction, making him the linchpin of the series. He has met Jon Snow and the Night's Watch, Robb and Bran Stark at Winterfell, Catelyn Stark and Lysa Arryn at the Vale, King's Landing and the Decadent Court (Lannisters, Littlefinger, Varys, Joffrey, Tyrells, Martells). Once in Essos, he meets Daenerys and Jorah Mormont, and he's the one who breaks the news to Jorah about his late father. This becomes clear when he reunites with Theon Greyjoy in Season 6 and brings back their last meeting at Winterfell and it becomes even more obvious when in Season 7, he serves as the common friend for both Daenerys and Jon Snow, being the only man who knows both of them.

One Degree of Separation / int_cd63e81d	comment	Ace Attorney uses this to an extreme in the third and fourth games, particularly the third. By the end of the third game's last case, protagonist Phoenix Wright is pretty much the only relevant character who is not either related to the Feys, wasn't directly screwed over in a way by the events of DL-6, or both. And even then they indirectly had huge influence on his life by setting up 90 of the 100 reasons he decided to become a defense attorney. It gets equally crazy in the fifth game. To (kind of) explain: Apollo knows both the victim and the defendant in case four (his childhood best friend and sort-of father figure respectively), both of whom work at the space center where Athena's dead mother, Metis Cykes, used to work and Athena herself used to live. In addition to this, the main prosecutor of this game, Simon Blackquill, was Metis' student in psychology and the brother of Metis' lab partner, Aura Blackquill. Simon was also falsely accused of Metis' murder. And to a lesser degree, Athena knows the defendant in case 1 and 3 (her best friend who has a crush on Apollo) and Trucy knows the daughter of the defendant in case 2.

One Degree of Separation / int_cd8905f6	comment	Baccano!: It all started in a ship, in which that ship made some humans immortal. One of those immortals eventually became a member of a Camorra group in which his closest allies became immortal as well thanks to an old, immortal man from the ship, a man from another crime family, as well as two thieves. Those two thieves would later on go to a train ride where they befriend a young-looking boy who is also one of the immortals from the ship; and a young gang leader who happens to be under the radar of a hitman from another crime family, whose plans get hijacked by a terrorist group led by one of the immortals from the ship. Said immortal's daughter happens to get the attention of a young conductor who happens to be a serial killer who's been killing several people in the train and fights with the hitman. Not to mention he's the adoptive brother of the Camorra group's closest allies. The conductor and his adoptive brothers then come across the sister of the man partially responsible for making the Camorra group and their allies immortal. Apparently, she also takes in the young gang leader, his gang and the immortal's daughter from the train; and at one point, she also came across the two thieves. Confused yet? Because that's just what the first few volumes (and the anime) have covered.

One Degree of Separation / int_d07826aa	comment	In Rule 34 by Charles Stross, the three main characters are Liz, a police officer who is called off her investigation of where unlicensed 3D printers are getting their feedstock to investigate the murder of Michael Blair; The Toymaker, the local head of an international 3D-printer-based crime organisation who is in Edinburgh to recruit Blair; and Anwar, an ex-con (previously arrested by Liz) who has become honorary consul to a tiny Ruritania which mostly involves doling out "bread mix" to people who just happen to be legmen in the Toymaker's organisation. In addition, Anwar's mother-in-law turns out to be Blair's housekeeper (and his cousin is a later victim), and the Toymaker propositions Liz's casual girlfriend (who, as a financial investigator, is also Working the Same Case). And the German policeman who liaises with the case due to a similarity to other murders across the EU has previously worked with Liz. It reaches the point where the characters themselves are trying to figure out what's going on, because it can't all be a coincidence. And it turns out it's not — everyone involved is being manipulated by an AI designed to use behavioural psychology and the internet to "nudge" people into not breaking the law, but which decided it would be more efficient to use behavioural psychology and the internet to kill lawbreakers.

That's all well and fine, but Jack has no biological parents (high society no-no), having been abandoned at a train station as a baby. It turns out that Jack's ward Cecily, who is Algernon's love interest, is being taught German by Ms. Prism, the former employee of Lady Bracknell and also the woman who accidentally abandoned Jack as a baby. It's then revealed that therefore Jack is Lady Bracknell's nephew, Gwendolen's cousin and Algernon's brother. Ironically, this is one of the few times where characters turning out to be related actually leads to a happy ending; it not only gives Jack a respectable background, but since he's the son of her beloved sister, Lady Bracknell can't very well object to him. Even better, Jack finally learns his father's name, and thus his own name, just happens to be the only name Gwendolen well accept in a husband: Ernest.

Fantastic Four villains like Doctor Doom and Galactus became Marvel-wide villains, and the FF were also a major part of Spider-Man's early era, showing up on Issue 1 and then recurring later, with Peter even tussling with Dr. Doom and for the longest time counting Johnny Storm as his best friend in the superhero community.

She first meets Barney, and convinces him to go after Robin, then befriends Lily on a train, then Marshall by giving him a ride, then Robin, by stopping her from running away on her wedding day, and lastly, she meets Ted after Barney tries to introduce him to her. When he reveals to them he met her, Lily and Marshall even state how great she is. The 100th and 200th episodes "Girls Vs. Suits" and "How Your Mother Met Me" reveal that Ted and The Mother were separated at first by three degrees, specifically through her and Robinâ€™s acquaintance Mitch the music teacher and The Motherâ€™s ex-roommate Kelly whom Barney picked up on St. Patrickâ€™s Day in 2008 in a club Ted went to, and then two degrees via her other ex-roommate Cindy, who briefly dates Ted and breaks up with him, after which he leaves their apartment just as The Mother enters her room not having seen him. On a few occasions they are actually only separated by one degree before they truly meet: "Definitions" reveals that Ted briefly gave a lecture where The Mother (and as we find out later, Cindy) were in the audience, but he was in the wrong room. In "Girls Vs. Suits" Ted leaves behind The Motherâ€™s yellow umbrella that he took from her after that same 2008 club visit, which becomes the Umbrella of Togetherness she carries in the Grand Finale when they Meet Cute.

II reveals that the "Ansem" Sora defeated was not really Ansem, but was merely the Heartless of an impostor called Xehanort, who studied under the real Ansem, who is friends with Mickey. Xehanort's Nobody, Xemnas, is the leader of Organization XIII, whose members Sora battles one by one in Chain of Memories and II. Six other members of the Organization are also Nobodies of Ansem's apprentices. One of them, Axel, is part of another trio with the Organization's two latest members: Roxas, Sora's Nobody; and Xion, Roxas' replica who looks like Kairi. Another Kairi lookalike is her Nobody, NaminÃ©, who was born in Castle Oblivion, one of the Organization's bases. Roxas himself looks like another person, Ventus, a Keyblade wielder from a decade ago. As revealed in Birth by Sleep, Ventus, a friend of Lea, Axel's human form, is the light counterpart of Vanitas, the source of the Unversed. Ventus' heart healed itself after the disastrous birth of Vanitas by merging with Sora (in the process giving Sora the ability to wield Keyblade) and that's why Vanitas looks like Sora and Roxas like Ventus. Said merging was under the watchful eyes of Master Xehanort, whom Ventus studied under. This Xehanort was not exactly the same as the current one; he was old and only gained his current form by possessing Ventus' friend, Terra. Terra once met Sora and Riku and was the person who granted Riku the ability to wield Keyblade. Terra and Ventus, by the way, are part of a third trio. The third member is Aqua, who created Castle Oblivion, granted Kairi the ability to wield Keyblade and a means to escape Hollow Bastion should it faced danger (hence why she ended up in Destiny Islands) and also met Sora and Riku; in particular, she gave Sora motivation to save his friends, kickstarting his adventurous personality. The amigos trained under Master Eraqus, Xehanort's blood brother. Coming full circle, Xehanort's homeworld is revealed to be Destiny Islands and the tale of his journey to become a Keyblade Master inspired Riku, leading him to suggest Sora and Kairi to leave the islands. Since, the story of Ï‡ takes place hundreds of years before the main series, you'd expect them to have nothing to do with the present, right? Nope! Turns out Ventus came from this distant past and, as a Dandelion, was transported to the present day by the Foretellers so the arts of Keyblade would not be lost after the Keyblade War. The Nobodies of two other Dandelions, Lauriam and Elrena, later became a part of the Organization (as Marluxia and Larxene, respectively). One of the Foretellers, Luxu, possessed a Keyblade that, after generations, eventually ended up in the hands of Master Xehanort. Luxu himself is also present in the current time under the disguise of Braig, Xehanort's Number Two. Hilariously lampshaded by Axel/Lea in III in an extended Self-Deprecation rant, complaining that everyone Already Met Everyone and that spells an insane amount to get memorized.

One Degree of Separation / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: Chandler's connection to the group started off simply as "Monica's neighbour", but the writers later added that he had also been Ross college roommate, met Monica and Rachel several times and spent regular Thanksgivings with the Geller family. He only became Monica's neighbour because she tipped him off about the available apartment next to hers. Phoebe, who first met the group through being Monica's roommate, also mugged Ross when they were teenagers. This is lampshaded: After Ross sleeps with Chloe the girl from the Xerox place, Chandler and Joey advise him to work out "the Trail" of people who know what he's done and could potentially tell Rachel before he can do it himself. They work out that Chloe works with Isaac whose sister, Jasmine, works with Phoebe. Ross begs Jasmine not to tell Phoebe, only for her to reveal that her roommate is Gunther, the manager of Central Perk, who has an unrequited crush on Rachel. By the time Ross gets to the coffee shop, Gunther has already told Rachel everything.

What strains credibility somewhat is when Raquel - who didn't grow up in Peckham - learns her ex-husband is in town and he turns out to be Recurring Character, Dirty Cop Slater the Slag ... who was also at school with the main characters.

Noa from Tressa's tale, and Cordelia from Therion's, are friends and penpals. Odette, Cyrus' colleague, is a pupil of Geoffrey Azelhart, Primrose's dad. She's also a friend of Revello, from Primrose's path. Graham Crossford ties Ogen and Alfyn together, is the author of Tressa's book, and Kit's father as well as having traveled on Leon Bastralle's ship. He's also the monster Redeye from H'aanit's tale. Barham, from Therion's chapter 2, does business with Mick and Mack from Tressa's chapter 1. Captain Bale, from Olberic's tale, is friends with Bishop Donovan, from Ophilia's. Susanna, from H'aanit's tale, is the author of the book that Cyrus quotes at the end of his story.

Chika, You, and Kanan are one set of childhood friends, and Hanamaru has been friends with Ruby since middle school and was friends with Yoshiko back in kindergarten. A reveal is that Kanan was also childhood friends with Ruby's older sister and student council president Dia and the school's director Mari. It is justified in this case, as the cast all live in a small beachside town. To clarify:

One Degree of Separation / int_fb873b86	comment	Saw: In the first film, two apparent strangers, Adam Stanheight and Dr. Lawrence Gordon, are trapped in a dilapidated bathroom together. It turns out, however, that Adam was hired by a detective to spy on Lawrence, who was suspected of being Jigsaw, whose identity is in turn revealed to be that of John Kramer, a patient of Lawrence's with terminal cancer. This was all part of Jigsaw's plan, but Adam and Lawrence didn't know that when they found out. Later films show that many of John's victims were patients at the drug recovery clinic ran by his ex-wife Jill Tuck, or people he knew beforehand. Those who aren't are likely to be connected to one of the various Jigsaw apprentices instead. While the cast of Spiral has no connections with most of the previous films' characters, the plot progressively establishes most of them to either have different relationships with each other or that they've met each other at least once, including the Spiral killer themselves towards Zeke and Pete.

One Degree of Separation / int_fd678b81	comment	Seen repeatedly throughout the Dark Parables series, in which virtually every fairy tale character is connected to every other character in some way. The Frog Prince is perhaps the biggest source of this, since the series curses him with a form of the Cartwright Curse and he outlives most of his wives, giving him connections to multiple stories besides his own. For example, his first wife Ivy (the princess from his original story) was the younger sister of Sleeping Beauty, who is acquainted with Rapunzel, who is engaged to Prince Ross Red, who is the twin brother of Snow White, who is also the Snow Queen, who was the Frog Prince's fifth wife, whose son once rescued Thumbelina. The series practically requires a flow chart.
