One of my favorites is how tiny pieces of lore in One Piece become major plot points later. At first, people thought it was some 5D chess foreshadowing. Nope, it turns out the lead writer just goes back and re-reads his old content when he starts running out of ideas. He’ll just grab some tiny thing from like two years ago, and turn it into the next major plot hook.
Yeah, haki isn’t a thing when Oda did the first chapter, but heck yeah it just make sense later on why the fish would just run with just a stare, and how Garp is feared for just being a normal human without power. It’s also funny that later on Seastone isn’t much of a plot point when fighting Logia, considering Smoker have to custom made his baton with a Seastone to beat fruit user.

Actually saw videos of a british tourist who got stuck in Nepal during the uprising that did exactly that. Was just filming his traveling experiences when he found himself accidentally making a documentary lol
Just because a writer isn’t consciously aware of doing it intentionally doesn’t mean it wasn’t part of the process that happened in their brain
Me in highschool when my creative writing teacher called out all the things that subtly foreshadowed the dark ending. It blew my mind that I was hinting towards an ending that I hadn’t even thought of, and gave me my first big dose of imposter syndrome
