* ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove'' has a major one that still manages to shock even though it's a LateArrivalSpoiler/ItWasHisSled for those who had watched the [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross original series]]. Hikaru and Misa are able to escape from the Zentradi ship just as it space-folds, depositing them on a barren, desolate planet. For a few scenes, they search over the world to find any clues to where they are, when they stumble across the hulks of the Promethius and Daedalus[[note]]In the original TV series, these were the two aircraft carriers that served as the Macross' arms, a function taken up by the ARMD spacecraft in the movie version[[/note]]. At that point Hikaru and Misa come to the horrifiying realization that ''this is'' the Earth, completely glassed after the Macross fled, and that they are at best part of a vanishingly small fraction of the human race left alive, and at worst ''the two last living human beings'' '''''period'''''.
