The inversion of Something Only They Would Say: When a character is pretending to be someone else, they may unwittingly reveal this by saying something that would be out-of-character for who they're impersonating. Variations include not responding to a well-known Berserk Button, doing things they're normally afraid of (or have a similar excuse for never doing), expressing hatred for a nickname they insist to be called by, or otherwise invoking O.O.C. Is Serious Business. A common variation in Japanese media is using the wrong pronoun. Often Invoked in kidnapping and I Have Your Wife scenarios, to let the heroes know that something is amiss. If the Big Bad is demanding a ransom, this is to alert them to the fact that it's a trap; if he wants the kidnapped to "assure" The Hero that the kidnapped is "in fact" okay, this is to secretly convey that they're not. Sometimes serves as a Quiet Cry for Help. If they've pre-arranged such an alert, this is a Covert Distress Code. Real-life military personnel sometimes use hand signals when being taped to communicate in another way with their 'home base'. There are a few documented cases of soldiers giving hand signals (and one case of them just flipping the bird to the camera) to alert the people receiving it that no, they weren't being treated very politely at all. And some have done it just for fun, giving the sign for coercion when forced to shake a politician's hand, for instance. Compare with Spotting the Thread, Lying Finger Cross (a common gesture used in this trope), Not Himself, Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping, and Trust Password (a pre-arranged alert to confirm one's identity and freedom of action). Contrast with Something Only They Would Say (in which a character is identified by a characteristic) and Bluff the Impostor. Sister Trope to You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious and Batman Grabs a Gun. See also O.O.C. Is Serious Business. |

In Natsume's Book of Friends, everyone does notice Natsume is acting strange when Nyank-sensei impersonates him but assumes he just wasn't feeling well. However, knowing his involvement with youkai, Tanuma does figure out it's not him and gets Sensei to reveal himself, much to Natsume's dismay. | |

Hell and High Water: When leaving with the other Rainbooms after it seems Sunset Shimmer has been manipulating and lying to them, Rainbow gives the situation more thought and stops in her tracks upon realizing that whoever this Anon-a-Miss account is doesn't at all match how Sunset operated back when she was an Alpha Bitch. And even if it was, the Sunset that has become her best friend is far too empathetic and ashamed of her past to ever think of pulling a cyberbullying stunt. Ergo, Sunset is being setup. She immediately turns back around to apologize and comfort her crying friend, while the others dismiss her as being a fool. Of course, the reader knows Rainbow is right, with the CHS student body learning the truth themselves several chapters later. | |

In the horror/thriller film Assimilate, this is how Kayla realizes her mom is not who she says. She sees her 'mom' after thinking she was dead, and immediately hugs her. Kayla's mom doesn't even attempt to hug her back, which causes Kayla to respond 'You're not my mom' and back away. | |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day does this twice. First when John tries to call his foster parents to warn them about the T-1000: It happens again when the T-1000 takes Sarah Connor's form and asks for help, something the real Sarah had previously berated her son for doing. The other Sarah instead tells John to get out of the way, something the T-1000 would not be inclined to tell his target. In the Director's Cut, however, John is tipped off when he sees his "mother's" foot melting into the floor. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): In Chapter 13, when an enraged Vivienne and San rip the Many's Skullcrawler host to shreds, they're unnerved by hearing Ghidorah's voices whisper "YESSSSSSSSssssss" through the Psychic Link at their violent display in a soft, sensual tone that is uncharacteristic of them. It's an early warning that Ghidorah has started to find Vivienne's episodes of temporary psychosis arousing, and has accordingly changed their plans for Vivienne to forcibly making her a monster Baby Factory. | |

The last mission of the second week in The World Ends with You is ever-so-slightly inconsistent with the missions issued earlier in the week, as this one did not have any math-related puns in the message. Neku and Joshua notice this, but as it's still an official mission and the alternative is being erased, they do it anyway. Turns out it wasn't issued by the Game Master, but by the Conductor, who had decided the GM had gone rogue and needed to be eliminated. | |

But when the demon is banished from Jame, he says exactly the same thing, and Sid proclaims "That's our Jame!" Unless it's because demons simply talk with different Speech Bubbles... | |

In Jack Reacher, when Reacher investigates the shootings apparently committed by James Barr, he soon establishes a problem; Barr was a competent shooter, but not to the insane degree the killings demanded, and an important part of sniper training isn't just aiming and firing, but choosing where to shoot from, as the optimal firing position wouldn't have left any of the Orgy of Evidence. The shootings were committed from a parking garage where the shooter would have had the sun in his eyes while his targets were moving left and right, but he could have had a better shooting position from a nearby highway bridge that would have put the sun behind him and his targets virtually in single file, allowing him to shoot from a van without leaving shell casings or other evidence; from this, Reacher determines that Barr was framed. | |

A peculiar example from K — the Silver King Adolf K. Weismann has lived alone in an airship for decades with no contact with anyone. How, then, does the Blue King Reisi Munakata realize that something has been strange with him and that this should be investigated? Well, for the entire time he's been around, Weismann has flown his airship in "curiously repetitive" flight patterns that always correspond to the optimal path, based on the weather. Since the night of the murder the characters have been investigating, though, the airship has been moving in erratic patterns, completely unlike anything before. Sure enough, it is connected... | |

During the "Operation: Zero Tolerance" X-Men arc, Bastion is psychologically torturing Jubilee by forcing her to watch (faked) images of her fellow X-Men being tortured and killed. Jubilee seems about to break down until she hears "Wolverine" begging for mercy. At this point, Jubilee snaps out of it and laughs in Bastion's face, because she knows that Wolverine would never beg. | |

Bleach: Rukia comes across who appears to be her Big Brother Mentor, Kaien Shiba, in Hueco Mundo. "Kaien" explains how he got to Hueco Mundo after Rukia kills the Hollow possessing him and seems ready to help, only to attack her instead and claim he has not forgiven her at all. Rukia seems all too willing to accept her fate, but is left confused when "Kaien" claims he was joking, before she finally realizes something is wrong when "Kaien" suggests she can earn his forgiveness by killing her friends, something the real Kaien Shiba would never say even as a joke. Indeed, it turns out the Kaien before her was actually the ninth Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie, who assimilated Metastacia, and by extenstion Kaien, when they ended up in Hueco Mundo. | |

In The Stranger, Franz Kindler (Orson Welles) is an escaped Nazi war criminal living in the United States under a fake identity. He's at a dinner party that also includes Mr. Wilson, a war crimes investigator who suspects that Welles's character might be the missing Kindler. A casual discussion of the German character turns to Karl Marx, which leads Kindler to respond by saying "but Marx wasn't a German; Marx was a Jew." This causes Wilson to realize that "Charles Rankin" is in fact the man he's been hunting. | |

Sandra's character catches on and explains that "Cheryl would never refer to her ass as a "booty" - she would never refer to her ass, period! She calls it a po-po!" The kidnappers tie her and the celebrity pageant host into the sinking ship at Treasure Island in Las Vegas to passively kill them. | |

Bloodborne: One of the first NPCs you can meet is Dr. Iosefka, a kind doctor who runs the clinic that gave you Blood Ministration. She'll help you out by giving you special healing items, but she won't let you back into the clinic because it wouldn't be safe for her other patients (and given that aside from you, the streets are entirely populated by blood-crazed hunters and werewolves, she's got a point). If you return to her door after entering Odeon Chapel, you might notice that the lighting has changed slightly, Iosefka speaks in a different tone, and offers her clinic as a safe haven for various survivors you can find throughout Yharnam. This is your hint that this is not Iosefka, but a Choir member impersonating her; something you only really find out later on, after you unlock a shortcut inside from the Forbidden Woods. Sending survivors to her is the wrong option; sending them to Odeon Chapel allows them to survive, while sending them to the clinic means that she'll experiment on them. | |

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning's first clue that Hope is Not Himself happens during their conversation about blowing up a stage and breaking into Yusnaan's palace. She says the first part of their personal motto and waits for Hope to finish the saying. Except, he doesn't. This makes Lightning pause and ask him about the second half, to which he still doesn't respond correctly. The harshness in her tone makes it clear she knows something is wrong. Hope is God's puppet, and while Hope does have his memories, Bhunivelze does not know the significance of this phrase. | |

Downplayed in RRR (2022). Bheem, on a secret mission in Delhi, has taken on the cover identity of a Muslim mechanic named Akhtar, and has found a Muslim family willing to take him in. In a brief dinner scene, he makes the mistake of offering food to his friend Raju (who does not know his true identity) with his left hand, something that is considered taboo in Islamic culture note The left hand is reserved for grooming oneself, and therefore, should not be used for handling food. The woman pretending to be his mother quickly calls him out on his bad manners, however, and they're able to pass it off as a mere faux pas. Raju, a Hindu, seems willing to let it slide. | |

It seems like her, but as it turns out, it was just a monster in disguise. What gave it away? The imposter was very tearful about their reunion and said that she had been waiting a long time for Shugo to find her. The latter, being her twin brother, knows very well that Rena would never sit around and do nothing. | |

Atop the Fourth Wall: One episode had 90s Kid suggesting a Nirvana reunion that involves digging up Kurt Cobain's body and having zombie chicks play him like a puppet. It isn't until later, but it finally dawns on Linkara that not even 90s Kid is that twisted, leading him to realize he's been possessed by The Entity. And although Linkara didn't know it at the time, 90s Kid would've known that Kurt Cobain was cremated. In the JLA/Avengers review, Superman starts acting very irrational and angry. Linkara's skit of the scene takes it a step further by having Supes rant that "Those problems are OVER THERE, and we should DO something about it!"note Superman saying that you shouldn't do anything about problems that are 'over there' in Superman: Grounded is a big Never Live It Down moment for him in AT4W. |

Naruto: In the Chuunin exams arc, Sasuke proposes using a Trust Password in case of enemy ninjas using doppelgangers to imitate one of them (again), and makes up a long poem as the passphrase. A few scenes later, Naruto excuses himself to pee, and when he returns he is quizzed for the passphrase, and successfully gives it. Of course, Sasuke knows that the real Naruto would not have remembered such a long passphrase, and that he was being spied on when he made it. Also during the Sasuke Retrieval arc. After defeating Jirobou of the Sound Four, Shikamaru disguises as him and catches up with the other three. When he does, Tayuya cusses him out and asks what took him so long. Shikamaru, still disguised, quietly apologizes. The other three immediately realize he's not Jirobou, as Jirobou always chastised Tayuya for using unladylike language. Used again much later by the Mizukage to tell that when they found Ao he was being controlled by someone else's technique by the fact that he agreed when she said she would remove the seal around his Byakugan (when none of them could) and apologized to Chojuro (who he had previously been Drill Sergeant Nasty towards). When Zetsu clones are infiltrating the allied forces in disguise, Sakura realizes Neji is one when he refers to Tonton as if she were a person, rather than Tsunade's pet pig. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Riza Hawkeye falsely implies this trope to trick Envy, who is disguised as Roy Mustang, as part of her Batman Gambit. She aims a gun at him, saying that Roy never calls her "Lieutenant" in private. Cue Envy immediately breaking the form, cursing his luck and shouting "I knew there was something going on with you two!" Her reply can effectively be summed up as, "Not really. Thanks for believing me, Envy." Cue epic beatdown. | |

Modesty Blaise: When captured by terrorists and forced to call Modesty, Willie addresses her by name instead of calling her "Princess". She immediately packs her bags and comes to his rescue. Modesty & Willie also repeatedly use a pre-arranged distress code throughout the series. If either of them drops the name "Jacqueline" into a communication, that's the cue to hit the panic button. They also use "Bertha" as code for "I need a distraction". |

Kirby: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror: When you battle Meta Knight at Raddish Ruins, he surprisingly doesn't give you a sword like the real Meta Knight would do. Need more proof? his boss name is ???. It's obvious before he's even defeated that it's Dark Meta Knight, disguised as the real Meta Knight. There's also King Dedede in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, who's actively shown caging his own Waddle Dee servants when Kirby and Elfilin reach his base at Winter Horns despite his love and care for their well-beings. It then turns out that he's - yet again - brainwashed by the Big Bad. |

In No Evil, Ichabod and Paula reach Kitty's house late at night and find that she appears to have stopped in the middle of canning some pumpkins and not cleaned up. Ichabod is dismissive of Kitty's "carelessness"; Paula instantly realises that there's no way Kitty would have left in the middle of a task of her own free will, and starts looking for evidence of whoever abducted her. Cue a late-night visit to Mictlan Wood, where Paula punches her way through rather a lot of undead. | |

Dragon Ball: After Cell absorbs Android 17 in Dragon Ball Z, he tries to persuade 18 to "join" him by using 17's voice. As he talks about how amazing the power feels, 18 looks uncertain... but when Cell refers to their creator, Dr. Gero, a little too glowingly, 18 sees through it and snaps that she and 17 actually hated Gero for kidnapping them and turning them into cyborgs, and 17 would never care about his plans. At one point in Dragon Ball GT, Goku knew immediately that a mind-controlled Vegeta is Not Himself because he was calling him "Goku". The real Vegeta always made a point of referring to Goku by his Saiyan name, Kakarot. In Dragon Ball Super: During the Tournament of Power, it appears as though Frieza has turned on Universe 7 when he helps Frost attack Gohan. However, Gohan, who has fought Frieza in life-and-death battles in the past, immediately realizes that Frieza isn't being serious in his attacks, which is very strange given Frieza's level of hatred for the heroes; if he really was fighting to kill, he'd be going all out. It turns out to be a charade to get Frost to lower his guard, as he believes Frieza has turned to his side... only for Frieza to immediately knock Frost off the ring without even a fight, and then leave Gohan alone. |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations: Phoenix thinks this trope is in play in the first case when Dahlia Hawthorne starts acting all-around bitchy. After Mia revealed Dahlia to be a major Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, who only dated Phoenix to get a certain poison-filled necklace and tried to kill him when seduction failed, she didn't feel the need to pretend anymore. Phoenix, however, is still crazy in love with "Dollie" and, after the trial, claims that this Dahlia was a fake. In a way he's right. The girl he actually dated at the time was Dahlia's twin sister Iris, who really was a Nice Girl, while the Dahlia at the trial was the real Dahlia, who he'd only met when she gave him her necklace. In the final case, when Iris starts acting like an Extreme Doormat and makes some Innocently Insensitive comments, it's a clue that Dahlia is impersonating her. Phoenix does notice that something's off, but since he met said person just two days earlier (or rather he thinks he did), he doesn't connect the dots immediately. |

Why? The imposter calls him by the name that he introduced himself with, "Themis", but the real Lahabrea would call him "Elidibus", his government title. He's proven right when the real one appears shortly after. | |

In Thor: The Dark World, a savvy viewer will realize early on that Loki's betrayal of Thor to the Dark Elves is an act. When doing so, he introduces himself as "Loki of Jotunheim". While he actually is a Jotun, he despises his birthplace and his birth parents, and whatever his issues with his adoptive family, he still considers himself to be Asgardian. Without that little hint, Loki's deception is extremely convincing. | |

The Order of the Stick: Belkar... uh... subverts? (double-subverts? parodies?) this during the aftermath of a fight with the thieves guild. Celia and Hayley interpret it as Belkar gone... well, more insane than usual, since "usual" means "kill everything not allied to me." Later, Tarquin figures out that Elan is not Nale partly because Elan surrendered to save a teammate, which Nale would never do. During their parents' remarriage, Elan tells Nale not to object or cause trouble, which Nale calmly agrees to. This is the first step to make Elan realize he's in a Lotus-Eater Machine. Later in the story, when the High Priest of Hel casts Control Weather, Belkar seizes on this as proof that he is not Durkon, as Durkon wouldn't think of preparing the spell, much less use it to stop a storm. He could simply pray to Thor, Durkon's patron. Unfortunately, no-one believes him. The High Priest of Hel finally makes a serious error in trying to do a Break Them by Talking speech on Roy. He brings up his inability to save his baby brother, and it almost works, but then he sadistically mentions that he always wondered how many pieces he was in, something Durkon's original personality would never have actually considered. That makes Roy realize this creature is in no way Durkon at all. |

In Resident Evil 2 (Remake), the player can find a letter from Chris Redfield (Deuteragonist of the original Resident Evil) where he acts like a total dudebro; his sister Claire, upon reading the note, remarks that it doesn't sound anything like the normally all-business Chris, which is the tip-off that the message isn't what it seems. When he says he's on a month-long vacation in Europe lying on the beach under a big umbrella, he really means "I've been in Europe for the last month investigating Umbrella Corporation", and telling his co-worker Barry not to follow him or else he'll make all the cute girls cry is supposed to warn him "Wesker has your family hostage". | |

In Paper Mario: Color Splash, entering the final level shows Peach drained from all of her colors and hung in a frame on Bowser's Castle walls.

There's also a bit of Irony at work here, as the last thing the real Bucky told him before being kidnapped was that he wasn't Bucky (due to suffering from a brainwashing-induced identity crisis) but that Steve detected it as still more authentic than the false Bucky apologizing and telling Steve that he'd work harder to be Bucky. | |

In a comic, Eddie "Venom" Brock's ex-wife (who is surrounded by police) addresses him as Edward over the phone. Displaying his typical lack of subtlety, Eddie immediately shouts "WHO'S WITH YOU?!". | |

No Man of Her Own: This happens constantly to Helen as she tries to pretend to be Patricia Harkness: she doesn’t know Hugh's (Patricia's husband) favourite song, didn’t know that Hugh had a brother (Bill), and signs her real name when trying out a pen out of habit. The Harkness family (who had never met or seen a picture of Patricia) think this is just a result of the train accident, but Bill is the only one that figures out that Patricia isn’t really Patricia. But he doesn’t care. | |

He takes the blows, but when 'Sakura' calls out "Syaoran!", he knows she's a fake because she lost her memory, so she is now polite with him and says his name with the -kun honorific. | |

They enter the Oval Office, and ask the person sitting behind the desk to Kneel Before Zod, which he does without saying a word. Immediately, they decide that he is not the President, since someone with that high a rank would put up some resistance. | |

Subverted in Fire Emblem Fates. In the Birthright and Revelation paths, the party stops in the country of Izumo, and are greeted by its leader, Lord Izana. Izana acts like a cross between a party animal and a rich kid, which Hinoka takes as a sign that he's an imposter. And indeed, he was replaced by the Nohrian mage and Master of Illusion Zola. But when the real Izana is freed, that's exactly how he acts. | |

Screamers. Colonel Hendricksson goes on a mission and discovers the Screamers have taken human form so they can infiltrate their bunkers. When he returns to his own command bunker he calls his Number Two on the radio, telling him to come out and meet him. A voice claiming to be the Number Two answers telling Hendricksson to come inside instead. Hendricksson then asks to speak to Don Giovanni (the opera music he was playing when his character was introduced). When the same voice claiming to be "Don Giovanni" answers, everyone runs like hell. | |

Super Robot Wars: Original Generation subverts this. When a main character's girlfriend disappears and later reappears, the character remarks that it's not her, because "even she wouldn't be silly at a time like this". While he is right about something being wrong, when they break the mind control, she ends up acting just like she did when she was mind-controlled. Prompting another character to mutter "Would never act like this in this situation, huh?". During the attack on the Omega Missile base in Super Robot Wars Compact 3, Folka realizes the Fernando he's with is an imposter because of two things: he's being usually kill happy and the way he fights is all wrong. |

Darkly averted in The Transformers: Robots in Disguise. In the season one finale it's revealed that Prowl's apparent descent into villainy was actually a result of Megatron's Loyalists mind-controlling him. However none of the protagonists had figured this out beforehand; in other words, they thought him becoming a ruthless murderer was completely in-character. Once he's rescued, the realization that none of the Autobots actually trust him utterly breaks Prowl's heart, causing his Sanity Slippage to kick into high gear. | |

When Gilmore gets sent out as a hypnotised assassin, the guy running the place (who has got the idea they're an item) tells Allison he's resting but he says he loves her. Allison is taken aback by this but decides it's probably military code for "everything's fine". | |

In Dungeons & Dragons third edition, the Sense Motive skill can be used to notice when someone familiar is under the effect of an enchantment. With subtle enchantments (which the subject may not even be aware of), the difficulty is rather high; however with Dominate effects, which drastically reduce the range of actions of the victim, the check is much easier. | |

Sanders Sides: Deceit spends the majority of his debut episode pretending to be Patton. He does a scarily good job for the most part, though he slips up just enough to tip off the other Sides gradually (Pointing out when he does something Patton-like, trying to get Thomas to lie when the real Patton has always said lying is wrong, showing no signs of sadness at the idea of a dead hamster, calling Virgil "friendo" instead of "kiddo", etc.) Later, when he tries to impersonate Logan, he talks in idioms and that sets the alarms on Thomas and Patton who think that the real Logan wouldn't use them as he would take them literally. Ironically, Logan later proves that he does know some idioms too. | |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: For the audience at least, "Bobby Drake's" stern demeanour when he tells Rogue that she should go is at odds with his introduction as a Nice Guy. As it turns out, Mystique had impersonated him. X-Men: First Class: How kid Xavier pierces kid Raven's disguise at the beginning of the film. She looks like his mother, but acts nothing like her. He confirms it with telepathy. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Dr. Bolivar Trask's secretary is surprised when he compliments her scarf, which is something he doesn't normally do. We learn a few seconds later that "Trask" was actually Mystique, who hasn't quite mastered gender roles yet. |

She's also worked with Yomiko and her predecessor Donnie enough that she knows if Yomiko took an action that to her was mass murder, something seriously wrong was afoot. Yomiko found out about the Library's experiments on children and that the Paper Sisters were kidnapped by Millennium. | |

In It Could Happen to You: When a cop walks into a local deli to get coffee, he asks where the owner's wife is. The owner tells him that she's out sick, but as he turns to get supplies we see that his wife is being held at gunpoint by a robber. Knowing that the cop can't see this, he then gives him the coffee for free. Sure enough, when the cop he goes outside to join his partner, he tells him that the man is being robbed — aside from the free coffee, having come to the store for years, they know that "that bitch would show up for work even if she were dead". | |

In Sneakers, Crease draws Brice away from a meeting with the villains in a public meeting space after seeing a newspaper blurb mentioning that the mathematician they had stolen the MacGuffin from has been killed and realizing what their employers really are. He gets Brice to leave with him by holding up the carphone and shouting that it's his mother calling. Since Brice's mother would have no way of calling him, and one of their group has the nickname "Mother", it's a clear signal that he needs to get out of there. | |

In Faith and Doubt, it's revealed that Chrysalis' poor impersonation of Princess Cadance was due to Cadence intentionally acting out-of-character when she was caught, in hopes of invoking this trope. Chrysalis did fall for the gambit and acted like a snobby brat rather than laid-back and kind, but it unfortunately failed to work until Twilight showed up: mainly because Celestia holds such an immense blind spot for her family that she never even noticed the changed behavior. | |

In a nod to Star Trek, the Fighting Fantasy novel Starship Traveler has a part where you're captured by aliens and cloned, and the clone tries to impersonate you so the aliens can steal your ship. If you succeed on a roll, you can with great mental effort implant two things into the clone: an inability to lie, and the name of a certain sterile prison planet back in your own universe. When the clone tries to get your crew to beam down and get captured, he'll tell them that it's lovely down there, "as nice as [prison planet]". | |

Amelia's family and friends then start noticing how weird he's been acting: Sven points out that he didn't wave back to him when he saw him, while Amelia notices that he isn't good in massaging as he normally is. On their first date, Joe criticizes The Mysteries of Miguel as a "juvenile" show, to Amelia's dismay; dodges Raj's questions about the message Joe sent to him from the bus home and the prize he told him that he wanted to win; and declares that family is "overrated". It's then revealed that he's actually Joe's twin brother Sam masquerading as him, and the real Joe arrives just in time to see him about to kiss Amelia. | |

In Nightwing (Rebirth) #27, Spyral have turned evil (again) and Nightwing and Huntress are facing a squad of agents led by Dick's old friend from Grayson, Tiger. Dick wants to find evidence this isn't what it looks like and jokingly says "He hasn't called me an idiot yet, are we sure it's really him?" At the end of the issue Nightwing finds Tiger standing over another, badly beaten Tiger, who manages to mutter "you ... idiot ..." | |

In The Bourne Ultimatum, when Nikki is in a room with Jason Bourne and asked to "code in" on the phone to her superiors. Her personnel record is shown on screen, with responses for "normal" and "under duress", but despite being in a potentially dangerous situation she gives the "normal" response. This was because she'd switched sides. However, she'd already acknowledged that Bourne had been there and there were agents down, so she and Bourne are forced to flee the scene before backup arives. | |

Girl Genius: In Othar Trygvassen's (Gentleman Adventurer) twitter: In the comic, how does Dimo know that someone besides the Jager generals is present when he goes to report in to them? "... schmelled soap." It's not in character for the average Jaeger— born of rough-riding rough-living soldiers— to bathe. When they are finally ready to get Lucrezia out of Agatha's head, they realize something is wrong and Lu is asserting dominance when Agatha, who wants Lu gone, suggests putting off the procedure until tomorrow. And it gets worse. |

In Cardcaptor Sakura, Sakura was confused and hurt because the ghost of her mother Nadeshiko led her to a Death Trap (trying to drown her in the manga, getting her to walk off a cliff in the anime); she asks Yukito about it and he says that a mom would never want her child to be in danger. Later, when the "ghost" tries it again, Sakura remembers this and confronts it, saying "You're not my mom! TELL ME, WHO ARE YOU?!". It turns out it was a Clow Card, more exactly The Illusion, trying to avert being captured. The real Nadeshiko's ghost had actually SAVED Sakura from death via either pulling her out of the pool (manga) or slowing her fall enough for Yukito to catch her (anime). | |

In The King of Fighters, for all of her massive flaws Rose Berstein loves her older brother Adel and always tells him what's on her mind. When Adel finds out that she has become the new host for the KOF tournament and has built a whole new and lavish stadium for it behind his back, he's extremely disturbed and thinks something's very wrong. He's right: Rose has been brainwashed by Those of the Past and is their Unwitting Pawn. | |

In the movie Sudden Impact, when Harry gets his usual morning coffee, the café is being robbed; everyone is being forced to act naturally, but the waitress (knowing Harry's usual is "no sugar, no milk") adds lots of sugar-she pours for twenty-five seconds straight. Harry, distracted by some case work he's going over, just pays and leaves with the cup. Outside, he takes a sip, spits it out and turns back to the diner.... then notices "patrons" locking the doors and turning the "Open/Closed" signs around, figures out what's up, and goes around to come in through the back. | |

Gamora quickly realizes Armour can't be the real Thanos, as Thanos was no longer a delusional nihilist after the events of Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War. | |

Superman: In A Mind-Switch in Time, Superboy gets body-swapped with his adult self. As looking for a solution, Superboy tries to pretend he is adult Clark Kent/Kal-El; but Lois Lane figures out something is amiss with Superman when he runs into her, calls her Miss Lane and treats her as a mere acquaintance whom he barely knows. During a battle against an army of Doomsday clones in The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Batman notices that something's wrong. Before Lex Luthor handed the beast over to Darkseid, Doomsday had finally displayed some degree of sentience— yet the clones are almost mindless and bestial. Batman realizes that the clones are imperfect and easily destroyable, hence they're a mere distraction to keep the heroes busy with while Darkseid's agents nab Supergirl. In Superman Family #173, Superman and Jimmy Olsen are in Kandor acting as Nightwing and Flamebird when a virus breaks out across the entire area. When Nightwing/Superman says they're leaving because the place is "doomed", it shoots up a massive red flag for Jimmy. He instantly deduces that Superman is infected because the normal Supes runs on hope and never abandons people who need his help. |

Second, Hisoka mentions that he bought their boss salted cuttlefish since he hates sweets, which doesn't get commented on by Tsuzuki. In fact, the boss is infamous for his Sweet Tooth. | |

It seems like no-one notices at the time though. Peonie had to have it spelled out to her after the inevitable kidnapping, but her father was just going along with it 'til he could get his other assets in play. | |

Fortunately, Matthias's home guild quickly works out a way to identify the fakes and spread the information around: Because of Matty's tendency to act without anything like normal sense, anyone who displays it, such as carefully considering what quests to take and properly assessing their risks, is a fraud. | |

My Hero Academia: At the start of the Meta Liberation Army/Paranormal Liberation War arc, Hawks had learned while pretending to work for the League of Villains that them and the MLA are planning a devastating attack against heroes and the entirety of Japan that will take place in four months. However, Dabi is growing suspicious of him and he has monitoring devices on his feathers courtesy of the League of Villains and the MLA, so he can't tell anyone about his findings directly. He begins handing out books written by Destro; the founder of the MLA, which appeases his villainous overseers. However, he hands Endeavor one with seemingly-innocuous marker highlights of different phrases. He also tells him to "read the second part", while also acting the complete opposite of the carefree, cheerful hero that he's known for. Endeavor notices this, and realises that Hawks had sent him a secret message via the highlighted phrases, where he spelt out his findings broken up into the second words of the highlights. | |

Capricorn One is about a faked mission to Mars, where three astronauts are forced to be in on it, and they realize they are in danger. In one scene, while pretending to be in space, one of the astronauts, Brubaker (James Brolin), sends a message to his wife by mentioning their last family vacation. He intentionally gives wrong information, which confuses his wife. The family actually visited a film set. (A clue.) This winds up being a big part of how the conspiracy is discovered, and eventually exposed. | |

In Dragon Ball Super: During the Tournament of Power, it appears as though Frieza has turned on Universe 7 when he helps Frost attack Gohan. However, Gohan, who has fought Frieza in life-and-death battles in the past, immediately realizes that Frieza isn't being serious in his attacks, which is very strange given Frieza's level of hatred for the heroes; if he really was fighting to kill, he'd be going all out. It turns out to be a charade to get Frost to lower his guard, as he believes Frieza has turned to his side... only for Frieza to immediately knock Frost off the ring without even a fight, and then leave Gohan alone. | |

One Piece: Vivi begins to suspect that there's something wrong with Usopp when he tells her to abandon the injured Carue, referring to him as "that bird." The real Usopp not only knows Carue's name, but is fairly close to Carue. In fact, it was Mr. 2 (Bon Clay) impersonating him in order to trick her. Another example occurs post-Time Skip with the Impostor Straw Hat Pirates, who try to take advantage of the real Straw Hats' infamy to recruit powerful pirates for their journey into the New World; the leader, Demalo Black/Fake Luffy, does so by using Luffy's reputation (especially his rather colorful heritage) to do what he wants. His doing so ends up being one of the main reasons the Marines are able to tell that they're not the Straw Hats, since the real Luffy would never take advantage of his reputation to bully civilians. |

It cuts to the aftermath of a big fight where Spider-Man notes Mysterio gave it a good try but "I couldn't help feeling you were ad-libbing it. And I know you, you don't make a move without it being carefully planned." Spider-Man thus realizes he caught Mysterio after a big score (in this case, kidnapping She-Hulk for the Headmen). | |

Final Fantasy: In Final Fantasy VIII, Squall realizes that Edea is, despite all appearances, not the same person who raised him when she calls Seifer, another of her former foster children, "worthless" after he failed to defend her. It soon turns out Squall's right. Edea is being possessed by the sorceress Ultimecea. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning's first clue that Hope is Not Himself happens during their conversation about blowing up a stage and breaking into Yusnaan's palace. She says the first part of their personal motto and waits for Hope to finish the saying. Except, he doesn't. This makes Lightning pause and ask him about the second half, to which he still doesn't respond correctly. The harshness in her tone makes it clear she knows something is wrong. Hope is God's puppet, and while Hope does have his memories, Bhunivelze does not know the significance of this phrase. Final Fantasy XIV has such a moment in the middle of the Endwalker Pandæmonium storyline: the player, Themis and Erichthonios meet the perpetrator of the insanity that has been happening during the raid, only for Themis to immediately call them out as an imposter. Why? The imposter calls him by the name that he introduced himself with, "Themis", but the real Lahabrea would call him "Elidibus", his government title. He's proven right when the real one appears shortly after. |

Metroid Dread: It's debatable quite what moment should tip you off, but in the latter half of the game especially, ADAM's creepy admiration of Samus' Metroid powers manifesting, the way he talks down to her, the way he talks up Raven Beak, and the way he stops calling her "Lady" after the opening should all tip the player off that it isn't ADAM talking: it's Raven Beak. | |

The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure spinoff light novel Purple Haze Feedback has Fugo put into a Lotus-Eater Machine by Vladimir Kocaqi's Stand, Rainy Day Dream Away. In it, Fugo is reunited with his old team, and everything seems happy. But then he notices that, when cake is served, Mista takes the fourth piece. Mista firmly believes Four Is Death (to the point his Stand Sex Pistols, which consists of six numbered individuals, goes from 1 to 7 and skips 4), and seeing him take the fourth of anything shatters the illusion. | |

Forewarned is Forearmed: Although Akira has never spoken to Igor personally, he knows that Igor's eccentric appearance belies his benevolent and courteous demeanor toward guests of the Velvet Room. So when Akira finally does wake up in the Velvet Room, he's immediately on edge by how deep and threatening Igor's voice is, as well as his referring to Akira as "inmate" rather than "guest" and the coming events as a "game". | |

Spider-Man: In a comic, Eddie "Venom" Brock's ex-wife (who is surrounded by police) addresses him as Edward over the phone. Displaying his typical lack of subtlety, Eddie immediately shouts "WHO'S WITH YOU?!". In an issue of Sensational She-Hulk, Spider-Man spots Mysterio leaving a hideout and follows him. It cuts to the aftermath of a big fight where Spider-Man notes Mysterio gave it a good try but "I couldn't help feeling you were ad-libbing it. And I know you, you don't make a move without it being carefully planned." Spider-Man thus realizes he caught Mysterio after a big score (in this case, kidnapping She-Hulk for the Headmen). Played with in Superior Spider-Man (2013) when Doctor Octopus takes over Peter Parker's body. A complaint of fans is how Spider-Man is suddenly speaking in a scholarly and arrogant manner without his usual wisecracks. He's also far more brutal in the field to the point of killing someone. Yet, all the Avengers and other heroes do is shrug that the man is just being rougher, not seeing his complete personality overhaul as something too suspicious, testing things such as his DNA or his physiology and assuming that his different attitude is just him dealing with his own displaced guilt/grief over the death of 'Doctor Octopus'. Lampshaded when, after getting his body back, Peter briefly acts like Octopus then says "Wow, I spent months talking like that and no one noticed?". |

During a battle against an army of Doomsday clones in The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Batman notices that something's wrong. Before Lex Luthor handed the beast over to Darkseid, Doomsday had finally displayed some degree of sentience— yet the clones are almost mindless and bestial. Batman realizes that the clones are imperfect and easily destroyable, hence they're a mere distraction to keep the heroes busy with while Darkseid's agents nab Supergirl. | |

Granblue Fantasy has a few instances of Otherworldly invaders attempting to impersonate people and giving themselves away by saying something uncharacteristic. In Grand Ferry's fate episode, one attempts this with the appearance of Ferry's dead sister, Firra. She claims that there's nothing left for her in this world, when Ferry knows Firra was beloved in life. Cue the disguise dropping. In the event "Home Sweet Moon", Grace suddenly appears before the crew despite being fatally wounded in the midst of a forest fire, claiming she wants to take revenge on the moondwellers. Rhens sees through this immediately, as Grace has talked multiple times about her motive being world peace, and he turns out to be correct. |

In El Goonish Shive, Mr. Tensaided interprets a hug from Susan as this. However, its actually a non-canon strip and Susan is voluntarily under a spell which has a mental effect that makes one be more relaxed about physical contact and less Terrified of Germs. Therefore, as Dan says in The Rant, Susan is "acting out of character in a very in-character way". | |

After the Fishing Boat level in PowerWash Simulator, the player gets a text message from their colleague Harper Shaw from his usual number about needing his RV washed again. This wouldn't be remarkable except for two things: Harper doesn't call you "Wishy" like he would at that point of the game (and is unusually terse at that), and previously he mentioned having lost his old phone to the heat of the Mauka Aitu desert and needing to get a new number as a result. This foreshadows that the "Harper" that contacted you was actually the time-traveling scientist Ceruleon Skye in need of a wash for their UFO. | |

In Transcendence, Max quickly begins to suspect something's gone wrong with Will's upload when he's asking for access to financial and educational data almost immediately after he regains his sense of self. The Will he knows was never so proactive, which convinces him that this Will is just an echo superimposed over the PINN AI used as the base for his program. It turns out that Will's actions are entirely in-character, but now he has the means to achieve his goals instead of being content with limited gestures. | |

A variant was used in Scryed: Kazuma, trapped in Unkei's Lotus-Eater Machine Alter, is challenged by that world's Ryuho to a friendly sparring match. They draw, and Ryuho offers him a hand up. This so badly clashes with Kazuma's memory of him that the illusion cracks, and he pulls out his Alter. The illusory Ryuho panics and begs for his life... at which point Kazuma destroys the illusion — the Ryuho he knows would just summon his Alter and counterattack. | |

In Team Fortress 2, while the Spy's disguise looks and sounds perfectly like whomever he's disguised as, there are many ways a seasoned player can detect a Spy by just looking at their behavior. For example, Scouts and friendly Spies have no reason to hang back from the front lines, so either one of these classes hanging back near a Medic or an Engineer's sentry nest is very suspicious and a good sign of a spy. There's also some class-specific things that the Spy simply cannot mimic; seeing a class conspicuously avoiding said actions also probably means Spy. Scouts are the only class that can run faster than the Spy's default speed, so a Spy disguised as a Scout will be suspiciously and unnaturally slow. The Spy has no explosive weapons and can't fire anyway without breaking his disguise, so he cannot rocket jump like a Demoman or Soldier. Seeing one of those classes trying to cross distances on foot means they're either a novice player who hasn't learned how to explosive jump yet, or a Spy. The Pyro's flame-retardant suit means that they cannot be set on fire; if you see a burning Pyro running amok, that's most definitely a spy. Another sign is if a Medic has no Ubercharge; Spies can't mimic built-up Ubercharge (they will have the meter, but it will always be empty), so if you see a Medic running around with his syringe gun out and no Ubercharge built, you've either got a spy or an amateur battle medic; shoot him to be on the safe side. There are also some voice lines that are wired to only play if you're on the attacking/defending team: if you're defending, and someone on your team says something along the lines of needing to push the bomb when the cart is rolling back, he's definitely a Spy. |

Bakugan: At one point in the first-season finale, Kato, Marucho's butler and occasional Mission Control of the team, tells each separate split-up part of the team to head back to base. Shun, however, notices that something is up. Of all minuscule details, Shun notices that Kato, the unfailingly polite Jeeves of the team, once only referred to Marucho by his name alone, as opposed to his usual "Master Marucho". He sneaks away from the team to investigate, and his suspicions turn out to be correct; it was actually Hal-G hacking into their communications, attempting to drive the team away. |

Zeff realizes something's dreadfully wrong on the Secret Island when he hears Sanji refuse someone food. And that's just one of the alerts. Cross invokes this again: by convincing Iceburg and Franky that Robin has never wanted to revive the Ancient Weapons, they decide that they don't need to keep the Pluton's blueprints around anymore... forcing the two hidden CP9 agents to make a grab for the blueprints once Franky brings them out to burn them. |

A literal case on the set of Doctor Who; when filming "Battlefield", there was a scene where Sophie Aldred (Ace) was trapped in a rapidly-filling water tank and instructed to bang on the glass. Unfortunately, the glass cracked, and water was getting dangerously close to some electrical equipment. Sylvester McCoy noticed the impending danger, and had seconds to warn the crew, but had to do it in a way that wouldn't be mistaken for the Doctor. He managed it with a Precision S Bomb, and Aldred was saved in the nick of time. | |

In Die Hard with a Vengeance, a bunch of German mercenaries impersonate cops. Although the leader speaks English with a flawless American accent, he slips up on a few word choices, such as calling an elevator a "lift" and saying that it's raining "dogs and cats", instead of the usual "cats and dogs". When McClane recognizes that one of them is wearing a friend's badge, and mentions the lottery to figure out if anyone on the elevator is real. None of the fake cops know last night's numbers, though in the beginning it's established that every NYPD cop plays the lottery and knows exactly what the winning numbers were. | |

He notices that, unlike how Marik has acted in all his previous duels, this opponent has fought a fierce but honorable duel without any cheating, mind games, or pulling any "shadow game" nonsense to gain an unfair advantage. Joey calls the man, actually Marik's Token Good Teammate Odion, out as a fake, pointing out how there's no way this man who's been such a noble opponent could possibly be Marik. | |

Though Liu blames himself for Chan's death, he knows that Chan himself wouldn't... and hearing this gives him the right state of mind of who's really to blame: | |

Jotaro punches the fake Kakyoin in the face, which gets him to reveal himself as Rubber Soul. This is pretty much what happened in the arc it's parodying, oddly enough. It helped that Rubber Soul is a jackass who doesn't bother trying to mimic his target; he likes making them look like sudden assholes. | |

There she meets Mamoru, but suspects something wrong when Mamoru suggests she abandon her mission and her team to stay with him. Her suspicions are confirmed when she baits him by asking who he likes better: Her or Chibi-Usa — and he easily picks Usagi. This is a Call-Back to earlier in the movie when real Mamoru could not answer this question since he was being asked to choose between his future wife and daughter, both of whom he loves dearly and deeply. | |

In Fresh Pretty Cure!, Love Momozono's mom gets captured and duplicated by a monster. Setsuna, who by that point had been Happily Adopted into the Momozono family, figures it out first, but Love is fooled and gets in a fight with Setsuna because she thought Setsuna was being ungrateful to their mother. Later, Love figures it out because the monster-mother keeps mentioning Chiffon — who Love had never mentioned by name to her parents before. She then tests the fake by putting on a red bracelet that the real Mrs. Momozono had made for Setsuna; the monster-mother tells Love that it looks good on her, which confirms Love that the monster is a fake and allows her to properly confront her — her real mother would know that the red bracelet was made for Setsuna and there was a pink one for Love. | |

In a tidbit of Irelia's backstory in League of Legends, it's revealed that her test to become a champion involved a simulated battle with her father, a legendary swordsman known for feats such as staying dry on a rooftop during a rainstorm. Despite being terribly outmatched, she quickly realizes the deception when her brother swings in from the side and manages to land a blow, and promptly impales the illusion with her blade. | |

Played with in Superior Spider-Man (2013) when Doctor Octopus takes over Peter Parker's body. A complaint of fans is how Spider-Man is suddenly speaking in a scholarly and arrogant manner without his usual wisecracks. He's also far more brutal in the field to the point of killing someone. Yet, all the Avengers and other heroes do is shrug that the man is just being rougher, not seeing his complete personality overhaul as something too suspicious, testing things such as his DNA or his physiology and assuming that his different attitude is just him dealing with his own displaced guilt/grief over the death of 'Doctor Octopus'. | |

Harry in The Rigel Black Chronicles has the foresight to realise that if her family sees her advanced fighting skills in the Triwizard tasks, they're likely to realise that she isn't her cousin — so she asks them not to watch, claiming that she would feel less pressure that way. She does let Remus and Sirius come to the final task, and they know that something's off, because Archie couldn't have beaten an Auror, even fighting non-lethally. | |

In Sailor Moon R, one of the Monsters of the Week disguise themselves as Chibi-Usa's dear mom (Neo-Queen Serenity, a.k.a. Usagi's future self) and calls to her using the name "Rabbit". Chibi-Usa is at first fooled, happy to see her mom again, and runs to hug her... but then she suddenly stops and asks the monster "Who are you?!" When the monster replies that she's her mother, Chibi-Usa says she's lying because her mother never calls her "Rabbit", which is what the Black Moon Clan refers to her as. (Chibi-Usa's actual mother uses "Small Lady" instead.) In the dub, this is reversed: "Small Lady" is what the Dark Moon calls her, and how she finds out her mother is a fake. | |

Bullshot (1983). The dastardly villain, Count Otto von Bruno, who speaks in a stereotypical Prussian accent, fakes the voice of Professor Fenton with Applied Phlebotinum. Despite a chronic malfunction which forces von Bruno to speak at a vastly sped-up rate, the Professor's dim-witted daughter doesn't suspect a thing when he says: "I want you the formula to London bring." Only our hero Bullshot Crummond realises instantly that you'd never hear a split infinitive from an Oxford man, and so it must be a trap! | |

In a Mickey Mouse Comic Universe story a famous opera singer suddenly not only abandons his contract but signs on for a rival — and refuses to see anyone. His former studio, not being idiots, finds this suspicious, but have no proof. When he releases a "greatest hits" collection, however, one word in each of the famous arias (all spoofs of real ones) is wrong — and the wrong words together spell out the location where he is held against his will. This trope truly enters when his ex-manager points out he would never miss a word like that. | |

Dragon Age II: In the denouement of the Legacy DLC, whichever Warden you side with will act differently; Larius will become coherent, and Janeka contrite. Hawke will notice a change, but doesn't press due to being exhausted fighting Corypheus earlier. They probably should have; that's the hint that Corypheus is Not Quite Dead and survived by possessing your Warden ally. | |

The Quintessential Quintuplets: In Chapter 74, Ichika disguises as Miku to confess her feelings for Fuutarou, and saying that she would support their relationship. Fuutarou suspects something is off because he already knew that Miku had feelings for him (by way of having a mutual I Have This Friend exchange a while ago) and he was certain she would never say something like that. He later calls Ichika's bluff during the Kyoto trip after she sabotages Miku's confession. | |

K-On!: This is one of the things that blows Ui's cover when she's pretending to be her older sister Yui while the Light Music Club are practicing for the second school festival when the latter is sick. The whole club is fooled because of how close they look visually and Ui is really good at picking up things like her sister, so at first they practice without anyone the wiser. But then the band members notice "Yui" keeps time too well. In the ensuing discussion, she calls Azusa, Ritsu, and Tsumugi the wrong honorifics ("Azusa-chan", "Ritsu-san", and "Tsumugi-san"; Yui uses "Azu-nyan", "Ricchan", and "Mugi-chan"), and when challenged Ui could not produce Yui's nickname for Azusa. Astute viewers can also catch "Yui" wearing the wrong color Inside Shoes when she first walks into the scene, something which all the members miss. Likely the others were so relieved at seeing "Yui" after missing several days they weren't paying attention. | |

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations: Phoenix thinks this trope is in play in the first case when Dahlia Hawthorne starts acting all-around bitchy. After Mia revealed Dahlia to be a major Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, who only dated Phoenix to get a certain poison-filled necklace and tried to kill him when seduction failed, she didn't feel the need to pretend anymore. Phoenix, however, is still crazy in love with "Dollie" and, after the trial, claims that this Dahlia was a fake. In a way he's right. The girl he actually dated at the time was Dahlia's twin sister Iris, who really was a Nice Girl, while the Dahlia at the trial was the real Dahlia, who he'd only met when she gave him her necklace. In the final case, when Iris starts acting like an Extreme Doormat and makes some Innocently Insensitive comments, it's a clue that Dahlia is impersonating her. Phoenix does notice that something's off, but since he met said person just two days earlier (or rather he thinks he did), he doesn't connect the dots immediately. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies: The lawyers get quite suspicious when the very expressive Bobby Fulbright drops the ham and acts completely stoic during cross-examination, and Athena is soon able to confirm their suspicions by using her Mood Matrix on him and getting zero emotional readings, even when he was supposedly desperately thanking Blackquill for believing in his innocence. |

In Star Control II, when you meet the final remaining Shofixti warrior, his sensors are nonfunctional and he assumes that you are an Ur-Quan destroyer sent to hunt him down. The only way to convince him that you are friendly, counterintuitively, is to insult him repeatedly. The Ur-Quan, for all their faults, are always very polite, even when preparing to kill an enemy. Eventually he realizes this and accepts that you are not an Ur-Quan. | |

Goblins: When Kin encounters Kore, an infamously genocidal Absolute Xenophobe to all "monster" races, she manages to pass for a human adventurer thanks to the thick fog concealing her serpentine lower half (and she hides her three-finger hands behind her back). But Kore still gets suspicious because she doesn't offer to team up with him, as adventurers are want to do. She explains that as a low-level newbie, she didn't dare to presume upon his time, and he seems to buy it, but then offers her to shake hands before they part ways. Whether he was being geniunily polite or testing his lingering suspicions, Kin has no choice but to attack him. | |

In Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, after an action sequence that separates the pair, Mary is understandably confused when Watson sends her a letter saying he doesn't miss her and hopes to never see her again. Mycroft Holmes tells her the truth can be found from a code that he and Sherlock devised as children, where a notice would be taken at face value or as the complete opposite depending on if the first letter of the note was a consonant or a vowel; in this case, Watson's letter is of course the complete opposite of what he means. The letter needed to be coded in case it were intercepted by someone affiliated with Moriarty, who had just targeted Mary in his scheme just to spite Sherlock Holmes. | |

When Chin Yisou asks what gave it away, Gojyo explains that Goku would have asked for food the moment he showed up (though Sanzo's dialogue suggests he may have sensed something on a more instinctual level). The scene immediately cuts to the real Goku complaining that he's hungry. | |

Fantastic Four: Issue #10 has Doctor Doom switching bodies with Reed Richards. It doesn't take long for the rest of the FF to find something off about "Reed" being arrogant and stand-offish. Reed attacks in Doom's body but Johnny and Ben have figured something is up. Johnny uses his flame to create the image of a stick of dynamite about to explode. Without hesitation, "Doom" throws himself onto dynamite to save the others while "Reed" instantly tries to escape. That's enough for the team to realize what's going on and capture Doom, causing him to switch back with Reed. Not long after Alicia Masters married the Human Torch, her stepfather, the Puppet Master, sensed something was wrong. When he visited his wife's grave, he found it covered with weeds and dead flowers, indicating no one had been around in some time when Alicia never went a week without visiting her mother's grave. When the Puppet Master tried to go to her, Alicia acted as if it was a stranger's voice. This led to the revelation "Alicia" had been replaced by a Skrull imposter years before. |

In Eyeshield 21, at the start of the second half of the Devil Bats' game with the Shinryuji Nagas, Hiruma says their chances of winning are almost 0%, and that the team shouldn't do anything drastic as to harm their future careers. Turns out it was all an act; everybody knows Hiruma would never tell them to give up unless the odds were exactly zero, so everyone (and we do mean everyone) silently went for an onside kick as to not let the enemy know they were changing plans. | |

Sailor Moon: In Sailor Moon R, one of the Monsters of the Week disguise themselves as Chibi-Usa's dear mom (Neo-Queen Serenity, a.k.a. Usagi's future self) and calls to her using the name "Rabbit". Chibi-Usa is at first fooled, happy to see her mom again, and runs to hug her... but then she suddenly stops and asks the monster "Who are you?!" When the monster replies that she's her mother, Chibi-Usa says she's lying because her mother never calls her "Rabbit", which is what the Black Moon Clan refers to her as. (Chibi-Usa's actual mother uses "Small Lady" instead.) In the dub, this is reversed: "Small Lady" is what the Dark Moon calls her, and how she finds out her mother is a fake. In the Sailor Moon SuperS Movie, Sailor Moon gets trapped in a dream world while trying to rescue an abducted Chibi-Usa. There she meets Mamoru, but suspects something wrong when Mamoru suggests she abandon her mission and her team to stay with him. Her suspicions are confirmed when she baits him by asking who he likes better: Her or Chibi-Usa — and he easily picks Usagi. This is a Call-Back to earlier in the movie when real Mamoru could not answer this question since he was being asked to choose between his future wife and daughter, both of whom he loves dearly and deeply. |
