** In early episodes of the anime, L does a bit of this but it drops off as enough clues are established for the audience to follow what's happening. The bilinear narration between Light and L only makes it all the more obvious.

** In early episodes of the anime, L does a bit of this but such as:
*** Concluding that the kills are being made by an actual human being at all, given that he lives in a world where the supernatural is supposedly impossible, it's a bit of stretch that he concludes this so quickly and with certainty.
*** Knows exactly when the first kill happened, even if a criminal dying of a heart attack right after being broadcast on TV is a weird coincidence, numerous criminals die all around the world each day, so being able to search that up and conclude which death is the first one is extremely difficult to be just glossed over in the story.
*** Figures out that Kira is a student, he thinks the times of death and kira being childish are major clues to this, for the first reason it`s not only students who are constrained by these, nor does he entertain the thought that Kira might simply be methodic. For the second reason, it's actually a pretty common thought that good criminals are dead criminals in some cultures, so you can't tell someone's age by that alone.
** But
it drops off as enough clues are established for the audience to follow what's happening. The bilinear narration between Light and L only makes it all the more obvious.

* In Season 2 of ''Series/TheFlightAttendant'' Megan is stunned when Cassie finds her in the bar in Reykjavik she's been hiding in. Cassie explains she saw through the code of emojis Megan was sending her, the Cherry in it meaning the bar in Iceland they once visited and her message of "bring the lockbox key to the Queen of Long Island" meant Megan needed it. A disbelieving Megan tells her that the message was for Cassie to bring the key to their friend Cherri, who works at the Queens strip club in Iceland. Both women are amazed Cassie was able to track down Megan's hiding space off this message.

** "[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS02E10Sapotis Sapotis]]": In the original French dub, Ladybug gets a teapot as her Lucky Charm and somehow deduces that she has to go to [[BigGood Master Fu]] for assistance when Chat Noir makes a comment about being too young to drink tea. In the English dub, Chat Noir's line is [[{{Woolseyism}} changed]] to a comment about his kung-''fu'' getting rusty, making Ladybug's deduction more plausible and thus averting this trope.

* ''Series/RobynHood2023'':
** Robyn figures out that an alleged social worker is really an undercover cop because "her people don't turn on each other", aka a black person shouldn't be supporting the police. She also determines that a rabbit costume she found in a random locker means that said woman is the "monster" who tortured Tuck, even though there was no mention of a rabbit by anyone nor did she know said locker belonged to that woman.
** Marian determines that John Prince has a far bigger and more sinister plot than simply buying Sherwood Towers and evicting the residents based on the fact that he, a land developer, owns a lot of land in the city. While she's correct, it's literally his job to own land.

When unraveling a mystery or trying to push the plot along, a character may come to an affirmative conclusion through deductive reasoning, even though the rationale behind it feels like a mental WikiWalk that has little basis in the information as presented. This conclusion is often shockingly accurate despite lacking a naturalistic revelation, since the writer needs to move the story along. Can also be interpreted as "batshit crazy deduction."

* ''Film/DeathNote2017's'' version of L does this a lot because the plot of the movie is so condensed. For example, he concludes that Kira needs a name and a face to kill because he wasn't killed while giving a press conference while he was hiding his face and true name, despite the fact that up until that point Kira hadn't gone after any law enforcement. Based on the evidence he was given, L could have also concluded that Kira only targets criminals, or that Kira wasn't watching the broadcast, or that Kira didn't want to kill L on TV. In the manga and anime, L holds a press conference using a stand-in who was scheduled to be executed anyway. When Kira kills that man but not the real L, L concludes that Kira wants to kill him, but can't due to his name and face being hidden. Since this scene is so compressed in the movie, L's reasoning ceases to make sense.

** An aversion occurs in the ''Endgame'' story arc of Creator/ScottSnyder's run on Batman. Supporting cast member Eric Border is revealed to have been [[spoiler:the Joker in disguise the whole time. After he reveals himself Joker explains to Batman the meaning behind the term and is actually pretty annoyed that he didn't catch onto it sooner, despite how horribly obtuse the meaning was]].
