* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': Prior to the release of Michael Bay's live-action ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' film, in Japan the Autobots were known as Cybertrons, the Decepticons known as Destrons, and Optimus Prime known as Convoy (with the name Convoy used in the same way as "Prime" was in the West with characters like Rodimus Convoy/ Rodimus Prime). After the live-action films, Takara Tomy began using the Western names even in Japan (e.g. in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', the names Autobots and Decepticons were used instead of Cybertrons and Destrons), outside of adult collector oriented toy lines. However, even before this, there were examples of this occurring on both sides, especially as Hasbro and Takara[=/=]Takara Tomy began collaborating more closely in the 2000's.

* Psychic Lover, for their 15th anniversary album, released an english language cover of their opening theme to ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', which includes the lyrics "Go go Samurai, We Get it On", a nod to the english language adaptation, ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'', where "Go Go Samurai" was the [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull transformation phrase]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' has an inversion. It was made when Princess Peach was still being referred to as [[DubNameChange Princess Toadstool]] internationally. The episode "The Trojan Koopa" sees Toadstool grab a Starman and declare, "Princess P. to the rescue!" This is the first known reference to her original name outside of Japan.

* In ''Anime/YoKaiWatch'', Keita’s English name Nathan Adams is displayed on the side of his racecar in the episode "Yo-kai Grand Prix."
