* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': When the Visored show up to fight [[BigBad Aizen]] during the invasion of Karakura Town, Yamamoto asks them if they are to fight as allies. Shinji immediately declares that, [[MisplacedRetribution since they were banished 100 years ago due to Aizen's machinations]], they are not allies of Soul Society. Before Yamamoto has time to take that as a threat, Shinji clarifies that they are enemies of Aizen and friends of [[TheHero Ichigo]]. Yamamoto decides that this is good enough for him and lets them do as they please.
* In ''Manga/CallOfTheNight'', [[VampireVannabe Yamori]] is given an ultimatum: turn into a vampire within a year since Nazuna first sucked his blood or he will be KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade. In order for that to happen, he first needs to fall in love with Nazuna, which is easier said than done considering [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove Yamori has no concept of what falling in love feels like]]. After independent events leave Yamori questioning whether becoming a vampire is really worth it, Nazuna pleads his case to Niko, who is far from amused and angrily demands to know exactly why Yamori's safety is so damn important to Nazuna, who's never made offspring before. Once Nazuna spits out that she enjoys his company and actually sorta likes him, Niko changes the condition for his survival from "turn him into a vampire" to "make him fall in love with you", declaring that [[ShipperOnDeck the vampires in her clique will support them from now on]].

Both of them deny it's a marriage, with the Demon Queen calling it "a mutual possession contract for unlimited time", comparing it to a common clover and a white clover.

[[DistinctionWithoutADifference Distinctions Without a Difference]] in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
----
* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'':
** Tomo loses to Sakaki in a footrace, and shouts that she's not the loser, but the runner-up.
** Osaka asks Kaorin if she's gay. Kaorin angrily corrects her ("the correct term is lesbian!"), then tells her she's not a lesbian (she has a massive crush on HugeSchoolgirl Sakaki).
* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': During the Future Trunks Saga, [[spoiler:Future Zamasu states that he and Goku Black are not friends, just kindred spirits working together on the same dream. Goku even lampshades that that's basically the same thing, although "kindred spirits" ''technically'' does more accurately describe their [[AlternateSelf precise relationship]] than just "friends"]].
* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Futari_Ecchi_v01_002.jpg Apparently]] ''Manga/FutariEcchi'' is not {{hentai}}, but rather the thinking man's erotic manga. The author insists he's not lying.
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
-->'''Germany:''' Your enemy demands that you surrender! How do you respond?\\
'''Japan:''' Like a true Japanese, I shall say "I'll think about it", or "Perhaps next time", or "I'd like to, but...". All of these answers mean no![[note]]This is culturally accurate; Japanese is one of the cultures where, as mentioned below under Real Life, it is very rude to bluntly refuse a request, no matter how inconvenient, and instead make some reassuring-sounding excuse.[[/note]]
* In ''Manga/LuckyStar'', after Konata asks [[PervertDad her dad]], on account of him having loved [[OlderThanTheyLook Kanata]] and being clingy with Konata herself, if he is a paedophile, he insists that she's got him all wrong; he not only likes young girls but likes more mature, well-endowed women, too, so he is "''also'' a {{lolicon|AndShotacon}}"... Konata is suitably disturbed.
* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'':
** Used and {{lampshade|Hanging}}d during the battle between [[BeastMan Arf and Zafira]].
--->'''Arf:''' Are you one of their familiars?\\
'''Zafira:''' In Belka space, we don't call the beasts that serve their masters "familiars"! We call them their fangs and shields! We're Guardian Beasts!\\
'''Arf:''' It's just the same damn thing!
** And again in ''Audioplay/StrikersSoundStageX'', which is set [[TimeSkip three years after]] ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', when Agito visits Lutecia in the latter's [[PenalColony Prison Planet]], which, to be fair to Agito, [[LuxuryPrisonSuite really is a pretty nice place]].
--->'''Agito:''' You know, this place is really great.\\
'''Lutecia:''' You mean you can't see that it's a criminal deportation world?\\
'''Agito:''' That's not what I mean. It's not a penal colony. It's a world that people are currently adapting and developing.
* ''LightNovel/{{Maoyu}}'': When the Hero and the Demon Queen arrive at the village they'll be staying at, the Head Maid welcomes them expressing joy about their "marriage". Both of them deny it's a marriage, with the Demon Queen calling it "a mutual possession contract for unlimited time", comparing it to a common clover and a white clover. The Head Maid reiterates both are the same thing anyway.
* In ''Manga/MariaHolic'', when Mariya first comes to the conclusion that Kanako is a lesbian pervert, Kanako insists that he refer to it as "yuri". He of course then [[LampshadeHanging points out]] that that means the same thing.
* Munakata of ''Manga/MedakaBox'' introduces himself by saying that he does not kill people for no reason. He begins to list his reasons for killing, each flimsier than the last, until finally he just says, "[[ForTheEvulz And for no reason whatsoever, I'll kill you.]]" [[spoiler:He doesn't kill Hitoyoshi, nor does he intend to throughout their fight, even though his Abnormality gives him an overwhelming desire to do so. Quite possibly his ''real'' Abnormality is "self-control".]]
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'': Lacus steals the Freedom Gundam from Z.A.F.T. and gives it to Kira. When questioned about this, she says that she did not "provide assistance to an enemy spy" but rather "gave Kira a new and better sword". Kira really isn't a spy but he ''was'' registered as an Earth Alliance soldier, so the distinction is moot.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** When Naruto accuses Jiraiya of being a pervert, Jiraiya replies that he's not a pervert but a ''super''-pervert.
** A much more serious example happens later, when [[spoiler:[[BigBad Ob]][[EvilFormerFriend ito]] tells Kakashi that [[TheLostLenore Rin's]] death is not his reason for pulling the entire world into a war. He then goes on to state that Rin's death [[StartOfDarkness opened his eyes to the truth]] that [[StrawNihilist the world is worthless]], and so therefore [[AssimilationPlot needs to]] [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans change]]]].
* After another [[FailureIstheOnlyOption Team Rocket]] plot failed on ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', Meowth said to think of it instead as not succeeding.
* ''Anime/RedGarden'': At the end of the series, the villain tells the main characters that he isn't killing them, he's destroying them; since they're already dead, it [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman doesn't count as killing]].
* ''Manga/SchoolZoneGirls'': Tsubaki insists that it's ''not'' that she doesn't have friends. It's just that everybody has people they like more than her.
* ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'': Mitsuhide takes issue with something Prince Zen says the palace workers call him;
-->'''Prince Zen:''' It's for that very reason [...] that people say you're a blunt simple idiot!\\
'''Mitsuhide:''' No one's called me that before! What people say is that I'm stupid!\\
'''Prince Zen:''' It's the SAME DAMN THING!
* ''LightNovel/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'': The protagonist Leon makes some statements like this about gambling, while gambling, such as "I hate gambling, but I love winning". What this really means, is that he’ll only gamble if he can [[FixingTheGame fix the game]] in his favor.
* ''Manga/YumeNoShizukuKinNoTorikago'': Ibrahim planned to gain social standing and favor with the sultan, so that he could ask to be given his concubine Hurrem as a gift, and then move to a small village and live the rest of their lives in peace there. When Ibrahim gets into an arranged marriage with the sultan's sister, Alvice -- a merchant that actually had the same plan, but wanting the sultan's sister -- asks him why he doesn't just forget about his plan and elope with Hurrem. Either way, they'd go to some remote village. Ibrahim thinks about it for a bit but then insists that those two things are completely different from each other.
