Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is smiling much more than before
The degree of smiling in Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is much more of a smile than before. There had long been talk of why it is called a “smile” when she isn’t smiling, and when the movie The Da Vinci Code was a hit, on Japanese TV programs too there was talk about why it’s called a smile when she isn’t smiling, and there should have been stories like, when they looked at the underdrawing with the latest technology, the underdrawing was smiling, and so on (it was something like CT or some kind of transmissive scan that examined pigments or pen pressure other than the pigments visible on the surface, and three Mona Lisa underdrawings appeared underneath, or da Vinci’s face appeared, or something like that). Alternatively, I also remember talk like the face being divided from the center into a smiling side and a straight-faced side. - Pikachu’s tail color. For Pikachu, the representative main character of Pocket Monsters (aka Pokémon), there are not a few people who remember there being black or dark-brown stripes on Pikachu’s tail, but in reality there is no such pattern. This is a flagship representative case of the Mandela Effect within Japan, and it is also a case often treated as a major Mandela Effect in overseas communities. It is said that at least until around 2019 it was black.
This case is part of the Mandela Effect case database based on "The Window of Opportunity: A Guidepost to the Mandela Effect — The Ultra-Secret X-Files" by Aoyama Takuto.
