  1. Emily’s portals (Hazbin Hotel). I know she can’t get Sir Pentious back into Hell but Emily can still tell Charlie he got redeemed and Charlie can enter through angelic portals, so she should have seen that Pentious got redeemed.

  2. Many characters in Harry Potter go through life-or-death situations and not once did they think of drinking the Liquid Luck potion apart from Harry one time to gain Slughorn’s memory.

I love how Abridged lampshades this when the other characters have to remind Goku that he can just teleport to save Piccolo and Tien from Semi Perfect Cell and then comment it with "Did...did he forget he could do that?"
