At least they tried to be heroes Chase tried to be holier-than-thou. In other words, Danny Chase is to the Teen Titans what Zan, Jayna, Wendy, and Marvin are to the Superfriends Justice League. Combine this with abrasive personality, lack of codename, costume, or original powers and he quickly became a Creator's Pet, as well. He was even designed to look like Cousin Oliver.
THAT 70S SHOW SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 WHAT WAS THE LANGUAGE USED SERIES
Pokémon Journeys: The Series gives us Goh's Sobble, who was introduced when Goh's Scorbunny evolved into Raboot and later Cinderace.In the fourth season, she turns into a toddler in an 11-year-old's body. Hana-chan in Ojamajo Doremi is a baby character who suddenly joins the cast when they witness her birth in the Witch World.In a dark twist it is heavily implied Ruu is Dead All Along and that Yuuri is hallucinating a teddy bear is her little sister. The series compares the notoriously immature Yuki to Ruu and explains that Yuki was a Replacement Goldfish, and Ruu explains why Yuuri is such a Cool Big Sis. She later saves her from a zombie-infested school and Ruu becomes a Tagalong Kid. She had forgotten her due to the zombie apocalypse. Several chapters into School-Live! Yuuri literally remembers she has a little sister.
Even if the intervention of Luna -Usagi's magic talking cat- prevents Usagi from falling under the influence of Chibiusa's magic, making her for some time the only one aware of Chibiusa's nature (even if Usagi learns the whole story only much later and that Chibiusa is really her daughter from the future). Chibiusa in Sailor Moon, came from the future and brainwashed Usagi's family into thinking she was her little sister/cousin (depending on the translation).Thankfully, she doesn't throw off the cast dynamic much, as her presence is generally limited to wreaking havoc. To Love Ru has Celine: Rito's giant carnivorous plant that apparently turns into a humanoid toddler as part of her life cycle.Once the writers have exhausted the possibilities of new baby hijinks, the infant undergoes Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome - or even a Plot-Relevant Age-Up if the setting allows for it - so they can become a regular member of the cast. Sometimes Cousin Oliver is the logical result of a character's season-long pregnancy arc. Depending on how deft the writers are at making him "lovable," Cousin Oliver can become a fan favorite Ensemble Dark Horse or The Scrappy ( or worse). It's far too easy for the writers to miss "sweetly precocious" and tumble right into "overbearing and annoying", especially to the show's long-time fans (who don't see why this kid should be taking attention away from their favorite characters anyway). However, such a character is likely to upset the dynamic of the show, especially since his only job is to be cute and innocently wisecrack. Cousin Oliver is that inexplicable kid added to the show's roster, usually in an attempt to liven up an aging cast with a character the younger demographics can ( supposedly) relate to.
