* ''ComicBook/WhiteTiger'' Implied BrokenBird. Soledad Ayala intended to file for divorce immediately after her husband White Tiger (Hector Ayala) was wrongfully arrested for murder, because Hector had promised her he'd give up being a superhero. Matt Murdock convinces her to hold off divorcing him until after the trial because if she divorces him right now that would just send the message that he's guilty. She agrees to hold off the divorce, admitting both that she knows he's not guilty and that she still loves Hector. But during the trial, when the prosecuter questions their marriage, she can't stand the pressure and leaves the courthouse. Soon after, Hector is convicted despite the efforts of his lawyer, Murdock. Hector is shot dead trying to escape, shortly before evidence emerges that belatedly proves his innocence. In Soledad's last appearance in ''White Tiger'' #6, according to Hector's sister Awilda, Ayala hasn't been right in the head ever since Hector's death, implying that the death and the guilt she has for leaving the trial has destroyed her. She takes the appearance of someone as a new White Tiger as a sign from God that Hector forgives her.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' Implies TheScapegoat. In the end of the series, Star deems magic as evil and the cause of all the problems in the series. She states that using magic to solve problems only causes more problems, and the ones using it are all idiots who don't deserve the power they have, her own family included. It's better to not have it than let it be abused by the corrupt and stupid anymore. However, even though it's true that abuse of magic is one of the cause of problems, it's not the main cause. Rather, it was the racism between the Mewmans and Monsters and battle over the lands. It's implied that Star is just ignoring the complexity of the situation because she wants a quick solution to stop Mina, so she decides to destroy magic. Moon is also implied to put the blame on magic as well. Moon caused the problem in the finale by foolishly siding with Mina because of her unfair grudge again Eclipsa and her thinking she has control over the situation; that backfired, and Star is understandable angry at her mother. Moon is unsure but agrees to help Star destroy magic, and at the end of the episode tells Star she freed them from the reign of magic, putting the blame for her actions on magic rather than herself.

** Implies AllOfTheOtherReindeer. The first episode establishes that [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] is a weird girl that unintentionally causes trouble in her school with her wild imagination, weird behavior, and antics disturbing her classmates. Luz's mother points out that her behavior is why she does not have any friends. But it was unknown how Luz's classmates treated her. But in season 2, two episodes implied that Luz was ostracized by her classmates and was bullied severely. The episode "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E8KnockKnockKnockinOnHootysDoor Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door]]" implied that Luz was made fun of in the past for being cheesy; that episode also heavily implied that she had other crushes but was rejected. In the episode "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E10YesterdaysLie Yesterday's Lie]]" when Luz discovers that Vee was impersonating her, and she shocks to discover Vee had her own group of friends she made in camp. It is heavily implied that Luz suffers from a social anxiety disorder because of all the bullying she suffered from her peers. Given how Luz gives Vee advice on approaching a group of teenagers she assumes to be bullies and almost has a panic attack when Vee comes to them. Not knowing that they are Vee's friends. It also indicated that outside of her mother, she does not miss her old life on Earth and would be more than willing just to let [[spoiler: Vee continue to live it in her place indefinitely.]]

** Victor Zsasz is implied to be a SerialKiller, since there's so many scars on his body, and if you know about his comic book origin...

* ThePeepingTom is implied in ''Film/AmericanPsycho'' where a telescope is present in Patrick Bateman's apartment but is never seen used.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Implies FriendlessBackground. Olga Pataki seems to be perfect with many achievements and rewards and her family's favorite. Despite this, in her focus episodes "Olga Gets Engaged," "Big Sis," and "Student Teacher," she's never seen with friends or interacting with people her own age. That could be understandable because Olga is a college student, and most of her episodes are about Olga returning home and interacting with her family. But still with not so much of a mention of her friends or social life implies that despite how "perfect" Olga is, she has little to no actual friends (her own age, at least), probably because of childish and whiny personality.

* ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheDragon'' Implies DrunkOnTheDarkSide. The first scene we get with Ling after accepting the Shadow Dragon band is to appear to Ang and try to recruit to TakeOverTheWorld !!. She keeps behaving like a psychopath through the whole fight. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness By the second episode onward]], while still villainous, she's completely sane again revealing the madness is just transitory. Given what we learn about the Emperor and the inner workings of the verse, it's likely it was just overexposure to the Emperor's BlackMagic

When something is implied because it's inappropriate, that's GettingCrapPastTheRadar. When multiple tropes can be inferred, but they can't ''all'' have happened together, you have an AmbiguousSituation. Not to be confused with an InvokedTrope.

* ''Videogame/GrandTheftAutoV'': Implied RapeAsDrama and CruelAndUnusualDeath. During the middle segment of the game, Trevor forces his way into the home of his assistant's cousin, Floyd. Floyd is home alone because his fiancee Debra is out of town on business trips, and during this time, the player will often switch to Trevor's POV and find him sleeping next to a traumatized Floyd, to whom Trevor gives an "affectionate" pat on the butt. This sidestory is capped off with an irate Debra returning and demanding that both Trevor ''and'' Floyd leave, stating that "Robert was right" about Floyd, to which Floyd replies "Who the fuck is Robert?!". The scene ends with Trevor leaving the apartment covered in blood, and a news report later announces that a man and woman were found dead in the area.

** In "Harley & Ivy", the morning after Harley stays at Ivy's place, they are walking around just in shirts, in a manner similar to SexyShirtSwitch. So this implication could also be GettingCrapPastTheRadar. (Confirmed by WordOfGod).

However, an ImpliedTrope can create an effect akin to dominoes. If A implies B, then C implies D, which implies E, which implies F, which... [[AndTheRest Yeah.]] Tropers can sometimes take things too far and [[Administrivia/SpeculativeTroping infer more details than they should.]]
