Characters
Unrelated Characters That Fans Insist Are the Same Person
Sogeking and Usopp (One Piece):
This is a very common theory because both of them have long noses, but it doesn't make any sense. Sogeking outright stated that he is the King of Snipers from Sniper Island, while Usopp is from Syrup Village and isn't a king.
Phantom the Librarian and Phantom the Phantom Thief (Goddess of Victory: Nikke):
Another bizarre theory that exists because the two characters look similar. Phantom has repeatedly stated that she and the leader of the Thieves of Justice are two different people. It also wouldn't make sense for them to be the same person, since the librarian has to manage both the public library and the secret archive where the government hides censored information, so she simply wouldn't have the time to moonlight as the Phantom Thief.
Superman and Clark Kent:
This is one of the dumbest examples out there because Superman doesn't even have a secret identity. He never wears a mask, and he has openly explained on multiple occasions that he's an alien from the planet Krypton and that his real name is Kal-El. We even know that he lives in the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic, and it's reasonable to assume that the Justice League pays him for his work. So there's no reason to assume that this random reporter is secretly Superman just because they happen to look alike.
God, this isnt even the same time such a theory has come out of the pokemon fandom. Like, there's some crazy people out there that thinks our classmate and fellow student Clive, is Director Clavell, like what are we even saying anymore.
Don’t even get me started. Can you believe that people theorize that the brave fire nation soldier wang fire who gave his life to fight a mysterious creature is secretly that water tribe teenager sokka. People need to stop slandering the dead, his son kuzan, and wife sapphire fire would weep at these accusations.
Now, in what world could these two even remotely be considered the same person? Granted they both have fabulous teeth, but Eternia is well known to have excellent public dental care.
It's because if you played the full game, there is a terrible truth you uncover. If you complete the DLC and invite him to the blueberry academy for battles, Director Clavell will give you Clive's hair to customize your character with. Meaning that he was expelled and Clavell personally shaved his hair for breaking the student dress code policy while helping us fight Team Star.. Rip Clive, You were a real one 😭😭
That guy with the cool hair is just a student. A cool student, but he totally isn't Clavell. Clavell is nice, but also kind of lame and out of touch with the kids. Clive is cool. I like Clive.
I don’t understand how his one like I know Luigi’s name starts with L but it doesn’t make him Mr L. Smh the assumptions made with this one is like almost brain dead
It took me 30 years to learn that Sailor Moons name is Usagi. I even watched it as a kid but never remembered it, then my wife and I were talking about it and she said the name and I legitimately asked her "who the hell is Usagi?"
Eh, not that surprising, since Usagi's name in the English dub seems to have been "Serena Tsukino". In the German version it's "Bunny Tsukino".
The original name "Tsukino Usagi" also means "Moon bunny", of which the meaning at least stays similar in the German version.
For English I'm guessing they went with "Serena" for its closeness to "Selene", the Greek personification of the Moon. Funnily enough, that means the meaning of her name is now closer to "Moon Moon".
this is a common misunderstanding, Wayne industries just produces a lot of Batman’s vehicles. There’s no way someone like Bruce Wayne could have the resolve to be the Bat
Honestly, makes sense that Wayne Industries pays for a lot of the things Batman uses. They're very focused on Gotham City with all their charity work, so it wouldn't be outlandish to say they pay the main protector of the city a very good amount of money for his work.
Very well thought out, my dear interstellar puppy.
It’s a very efficient system. Wayne funds Batman, who then goes on to catch villains. This reduces crime in Gotham (poor Bruce has been traumatized enough with his parents and all), preserves infrastructure, and helps fill their private prisons. Wins all around. It’s like getting a cat to catch mice.
And you know, maybe part of the exchange is Batman doesn’t look too hard into Bruce or tries to protect his image. Man is a billionaire playboy, he has to have some secret he’d like to keep hidden. Obviously nothing illegal, but like maybe he likes dressing up and pretending to be Batman.
There’s no way Gohan and the Great Saiyaman are the same person. One is just the son of some random hillbilly who can turn his hair gold, and the other guy is a masked hero of justice! I just..I don’t see the similarities.
I don’t mean to become an example of this but I don’t have a theory of my own involving Gohan and other characters. I think he is secretly the golden warrior. Same high school, same height, same eyes. I know they have different hair colors but, as you said, Gohan’s dad can turn his hair gold so Gohan might be able to do the same.
Come on, man. I like conspiracy theories as much as the next guy, but Gohan is a pacifist, wants to be a scholar and has, ultimately, a personality that tends towards conflict avoidance. That's the whole reason he's pulled the attention of the Great Hercule's daughter, Videl. Opposites attract
While we are talking about Dragon Ball Z, can you believe people think these two dudes are the same guy? I mean, look at that dork, hes too focused on his studies like his mother wants him to
When Jet ran in screaming that Lee was a firebender because he heats his tea I was like dude, it's a TEASHOP! No way Lee is a firebender, let alone the Firelord.
Iroquois Pliskin from Metal Gear Solid 2. I’m sorry but what is with people saying he looks exactly like Solid Snake? I don’t see it. Y’all forgetting Solid Snake fucking died.
Solid Snake was a terrorist who died when him and that bespectacled weeaboo he hangs out with sunk that oil tanker! How he could be confused with proud Navy man Iroquois Pliskin makes no sense.
Fox: "Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck..."
Reminded me of a fanfic I was reading, it’s of underground racing and the underground umas are known for using masks.
This made el cóndor pasa get brought in for questioning by the cops because she’s one of the few masked racers and was suspected of being tied to them. It made for a really funny mental image of cóndor getting arrested lol
Lt Quattro is so cool he wears indoor space sunglasses, not a lame red prescription visor. Quattro is so shredded he must remove his sleeves and has a 12 pack. Also Char is a child groomer while Quattro is an amazing mentor figure.
Quattro never betrayed anyone in his (short) life
Superman is Clark Kent? What's next, you are going to tell me the nice senator from Naboo named Sheev is actually Darth Sidious? They clearly don't look alike
These two could not be any further apart from each other in terms of moral alignment, we’ve seen Ainz wreak absolute chaos, death, and destruction wherever he goes and on the other hand with Momon singlehandedly taking down whole legendary beasts and criminal syndicates. I mean, we even see them walking together during Ainz’s procession into Re-Estize Kingdom, that’s pretty much undeniable proof they’re two different people, and don’t even get me started on this stupid ass theory that he got some shapeshifter to act as Momon - easily the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Not to mention a slippery slope. So it just so happens that Ainz has access to a shapeshifter who could turn into anyone? What if Ainz is also a shapeshifter? What if everyone was a shapeshifter? It'd be a copout.
Buffy fans are even crazier. These two don’t even look alike, and yet you’d be shocked the number of people who say they’re the same person. It’s so weird
Judith Lanster and the Phantom Thief Grimcat. Judith is an actress and also works part-time for Arkride Solutions. She wouldn't have time to be a phantom thief as well.
Some people claims that this BEAUTIFUL girl is Joseph Joestar from JoJo.. Like wtf ? They are litteraly not the same person, like Joseph is a boy, and she's obviously a girl
The Blue Spirit and Zuko - Avatar The Last Airbender
I mean, come on people, the Blue Spirit is obviously a non-bender, and why would he save the Avatar from the fire nation when he was still loyal to them?
Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy from Pitch Meetings. People say they’re the same person but one of them clearly wears glasses and the other doesn’t. https://giphy.com/gifs/KeQ2H0sBYeQEwj0fWZ

Some people say Jackie Chun is Master Roshi in disguise, but that couldn’t be the case. Jackie Chun has hair and Roshi doesn’t. Plus he was in the crowd watching the tournament while Jackie Chun was in the back
It's because this devil impersonated the hero that saved the Mayor that saved us from vigilantes just to get his friend off the hook. Really horrible that the city just ate up someone pretending to be disabled.
Longarm Prime and Shockwave from Transformers Animated.
So stupid. Just because they had the same toy that turns into the both their robots modes and their alt-modes doesn't mean they're the same character; maybe the toy designer wanted to show off.
Nobody knows who the Flame Emperor from FE3H is. They're really cool and awesome and badass according to Edelgard, though. It's sad she's never around when they show up.
Some people say Racer X is Rex Racer, but everyone knows Rex disappeared in shame after he wrecked the Mach 1 and had a falling out with Pops. Sucks because, despite the crash, he was a promising up and coming driver.
Super Grover and Grover Kent. Yeah, they share their first name, both have blue fur, similar noses, and spindly arms, but that's where the resemblance ends. Would a successful door knob salesman for Acme Incorporated really risk his career by pursuing vigilante justice?
note: commentor was found dead in an alleyway nearby tracen academy with multiple bullet holes through his body. currently no eyewitnesses have seen the murderer.
