* The cover of the fourth and final tankobon of ''Manga/IWantYourMotherToBeWithMe'' shows Yuzuki in a wedding dress with a smiling Ryo and Asahi

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''

* The cover for ''Comicbook/OneHundredBullets'' volume 11 gives away the volume's big twist death, that being Wylie "The Point Man" Times, one of the [[BlackAndGrayMorality few genuinely moral characters in the story]].

* ''Fanfic/{{Omoito}}'': ''Drei'' features Medicine Melancholy on the cover, a character who doesn't appear until the end of said part.

* The Website/YouTube thumbnail for the second episode of ''Series/TheOutsider'' is of Terry Maitland immediately after being shot.

* Many RPG adventures' cover art, seeking to entice buyers with action scenes, inadvertently spoil the nature of the scenario's FinalBattle or a major mid-story menace. This was a particularly serious problem with early modules for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', which tended to give away the nature of the villains (e.g. the "Descent Into The Depths Of The Earth" module with its succubus-and-vampire couple displayed as {{Fanservice}} on the back), monsters intended to be shocking new surprises {e.g. the cloaker shown clearly on the back of "Slave Pits Of The Undercity"), major plot developments (e.g. the flesh colossus attacking a castle wall on the front cover of ''TabletopGame/CastleAmber''), or even the supposed-to-be-a-shock premise of the adventure (e.g. cover art for "Expedition To The Barrier Peaks" showing a hero wielding a ''laser pistol'' against the monster).

** Both the American and Japanese covers of the UsefulNotes/WiiU remaster of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' shows both [[HijackedByGanon Ganondorf, who hijacks Zant toward the end,]] and Midna's true form (the latter was also on promotional art for the original release). Frustratingly, they don't even show Zant himself.

* The box art of the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS UpdatedRerelease of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' (the first version released outside Japan) shows Miles Edgeworth, the prosecutor from the first game who is assumed to have committed suicide until Gumshoe calls him at the end of the third case out of four and he shows up in the final case.

* ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'': The Website/YouTube thumbnail for "Creator/GeorgeCarlin vs. Creator/RichardPryor" shows three more participants: Creator/BillCosby, Creator/JoanRivers and Creator/RobinWilliams.

* Most covers and posters for ''She Freak'' focus on the very last shot of the movie - main character Jade having been transformed into a disfigured circus freak as comeuppance. That said, it already sort of has a SpoilerTitle, and if the viewer notices the blatant similarities to [[{{Film/Freaks}} a more famous horror movie set at a freak show]] , they might guess where the plot is headed.

* Most covers and posters for ''She Freak'' focus on the very last shot of the movie - main character Jade having been transformed into a deformed circus freak as comeuppance. That said, it already sort of has a SpoilerTitle, and anyone who recognizes the plot as an unofficial remake of ''{{Film/Freaks}}'' updated to the 1960s will probably guess where it's going.

* Various posters of the original 1999 ''Film/BangkokDangerous'' shows the scene where Kong holds his gun to his temple to kill himself, which occurs a minute before the credits. Averted in the 2008 remake.

* The sheet music for Vera Lynn's song "Two Easter Sunday Sweethearts" shows an elderly couple inside a heart, spoiling the song's BaitAndSwitch twist that the singer's two "sweethearts" are her parents, not two men.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'', volume 2, #54, the penultimate issue before ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'' features the titular villain in silhouette. The regular version of the cover features with the words "The Secret Revealed" in the silhouette. A special holograph cover, however, doesn't have those words in the silhouette -- but instead as a shadowy version of Professor Xavier's face instead, revealing the X-Men's mentor is the oncoming threat.

* Creator/{{Tsukumizu}}

*** Volume 5's cover especially spoils the manga's ending, as Shijima and Majime have finally reunited with each other after being separated for a long time, which is something that does not happen until the GrandFinale.

* ''Film/Heathers'' has some of its home video covers revealing that the main duo in the film end up as murderers, spoiling the twist that was meant to subvert audience expectations.

* ''Literature/WagonsWest'': The cover when ''Literature/{{Illinois}} was printed in the 1980s clearly shows Toby and some woman with a camera being endangered by flames all around them. When the novel was reprinted in the 2010s a cover with rather generic art was used instead

* ''Film/BlueMyMind'': One poster and many descriptions along with DVD covers spoil that [[spoiler:Mia is turning into a mermaid]].

* One of the soundtrack albums for the FakeBand ''Mystery Kiss'' in ''Anime/OddTaxi'' shows that the Yuki on the cover is a different character from the other "Yuki" introduced in the show and on the other albums. This doesn't solve the entire mystery, but it does reveal a major plot point.

* One of the soundtrack albums for the FakeBand ''Mystery Kiss'' in ''Anime/OddTaxi'' shows that [[spoiler:the Yuki on the cover is a different character from the other "Yuki" introduced in the show and on the other albums]]. This doesn't solve the entire mystery, but it does reveal a major plot point.

* ''Manga/GirlsLastTour'' is particularly bad at hiding spoilers in its cover arts:
** The title art of Chapter 30/31/32 shows Chito and Yuuri looking at the holograms of images of the past, but the images of three girls on the lower right is a spoiler detail. It doesn't bother hiding that the said image spoils the major plot point of this chapter where Chito and Yuuri uncovers the past from Kanazawa's camera.
** Volume 6's cover, the final tankoubon, spoils the TwistEnding where the main protagonists reach the highest layer which happens at the finale. The "Twist Ending" is heavily emphasised as the black sky and the barren, snowy and featureless land, as well as a shot of the black cube in the volume's table of contents all blatantly tell how their journey at the end is AllForNothing, completely defeating the purpose of the manga's surprise ending. ''[[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt Way to go when the entire cover art spoils the manga's]]'' ''ShaggyDogStory'' ''[[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt ending]]!''
** Chapter 44's title cover is even worse that it's so obvious on what is going to happen in this chapter. The cover depicts the Kettenkrad breaking down, which happens during the middle of the chapter, easily spoiling the WhamEpisode of the entire manga. It also has a ''very meaningful'' SpoilerTitle as well, which is aptly titled Loss.
** Chapter 45's title cover shows a rotating stair, as well as with Chito and Yuuri holding hands together. It spoils the plot point of Chito and Yuuri ascending to the highest layer.
* The cover of the fourth and final tankobon of ''Manga/IWantYourMotherToBeWithMe'' shows Yuzuki in a wedding dress with a smiling Ryo and Asahi.

* ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'':
** Chapter 46's title cover shows Majime wielding a staff, while looking at a town with watermelons around it. Guess what the cover ''exactly'' depicts by just looking at it? Majime's ascension to [[PhysicalGod godhood]] and becoming TheMaker of this world during the early parts of this chapter, which the cover doesn't even bother hiding!
** Chapter 47 is also bad at this when the title cover shows Shijima on a lone planet with just herself and a single house. The plot point of Shijima becoming TheHermit after the reversal is already spoiled.
* The fourth volume of ''Manga/YuriIsMyJob'' shows Kanoko and Sumika on the cover, both wearing the kreusz on their Liebe uniforms, apparently signifying that they have become schwestern.
