14	The reverse of FountainOfYouth, this is a scenario where AppliedPhlebotinum (frequently in the form of a [[MakeAWish wish]] and/or a PhysicalAttributeSwap with someone older) turns one or more children into adults. HilarityEnsues, and the kids either fumble around awkwardly in their post-pubescent bodies, or learn AnAesop about adult responsibilities and/or not being in too big a hurry to grow up.
15
16	Can also include a young adult character or one in early middle age becoming elderly. This process may result in an AgeDownRomance when the aged character gets infatuated with someone of their new age or vice-versa.
17
18	Supertrope to PlotRelevantAgeUp. Not to be confused with SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome. Sometimes combined with OlderAlterEgo or SheIsAllGrownUp. See also RapidAging and OlderAlterEgo.

24	[[folder:Advertising]]
25	* A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsrIXwES-DE commercial for GoodNites]] shows a young boy waking up several years older, his pyjamas having been ripped up due to his increase in size. His bed also collapses under his increased weight.
26	[[/folder]]

28	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
29	* In ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', Skuld gets to be an adult for a day due to PhlebotinumBreakdown. Her older sister, Urd, goes [[FountainOfYouth the other way]]. Despite being desperate to return to their original forms, they find ways to make the best of it.
30	* In ''Manga/CaseClosed'' OVA: "The Stranger in 10 Years," Haibara finishes an antidote drug to make Conan/Shinichi 17 again, but he was sick at the time. Once he took the drug, he didn't turn back into a 17-year-old Shinichi, [[spoiler: he's a 17-year-old Conan Edogawa warped 10 years in the future. Thankfully, it ends up being a dream.]]
31	* In ''Manga/CastleTownDandelion'', Hikari's RoyaltySuperpower can temporarily manipulate any living organism's biological age. One of the effects of this power is this. (Of course, the other effect will be FountainOfYouth.)
32	* Guu from the anime ''Anime/HareGuu'' can appear as an adult when she needs to. Since she normally appears to be the same age as ten-year-old Haré, this counts. Sorta. It's quite possible neither age is her true form.
33	* The anime series ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'' is largely based on this, as Himeko frequently uses the magic ribbon to appear as an adult.
34	* ''Manga/InstantTeenJustAddNuts''; after all, there's a reason {{Creator/Tokyopop}} released the English translation under that name, and that reason is this trope being a major plot element.
35	* A wish of this kind that comes true forms the premise of ''Manga/LivingForTheDayAfterTomorrow'' -- and [[FountainOfYouth turns a nearby adult into a kid]] as a side effect.
36	* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
37	** Vivio turns into an adult in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' [[spoiler: when the Cradle's defense system forces her to battle Nanoha. She returns to her original age once the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Relic]] inside her is destroyed.]]
38	** And in the sequel manga, ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', Vivio is given her own Intelligent Device which allows her to do this back and forth voluntarily. [[WiseBeyondTheirYears As is par for the course in this series,]] [[SubvertedTrope Vivio is very mature about it and doesn't use the power for petty and immature things.]]
39	* As partially mentioned above, the entire premise of ''Manga/MarvelousMelmo'' is based around age-changing pills: the titular character, a nine-year-old girl, can use some of those to age herself into a 19-year-old girl or an old lady, as well as turn into a baby.
40	* Inverted in ''Manga/NanakaSixSeventeen'', where, thanks to TraumaInducedAmnesia, 17-year-old Nanaka believes that she's actually six years old and was magically transformed into an adult.
41	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': In a large ShoutOut to ''Manga/MarvelousMelmo'', Negi's NonHumanSidekick Chamo produces a jar of candies that alter one's age (specifically, the red ones for older, blue ones [[FountainOfYouth for younger]]). Of course, when he uses them, several of his students notice that [[SheIsAllGrownUp He is All Grown Up]] without actually recognizing him. Apparently, the pills are based on a spell [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Evangeline]] invented to make up for her body being stuck at ten years old. Once the gang gets more friendly with her, she provides them apparently for free (the knock-offs are expensive).
42	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
43	** Jewelry Bonney of the Eleven Supernovas is the user of the Age Age Fruit which, as the name would imply, has the power to manipulate ages, both her own and those around her. While a very simple and straightforward power on the surface, when Bonney gets a lot more focus during the Egghead arc and showcases the full extent of what her powers are capable of, the true nature of her Devil Fruit turns out to be a ''lot'' more complicated than you would initially think. Although her power is called the "Age Age Fruit", she doesn't so much ''age'' things as she does make things take on either their past state or their future state. Because the future is still undetermined, Bonney can make things take on '''any''' future form of themselves, no matter how impossible, as showcased by Bonney [[spoiler:'''giving herself a different devil fruit power''']]. The major limiting factor in what Bonney can do, however, is that she herself needs to believe that said future state is possible. Adding on to this, [[spoiler:Bonney turns out to be a 12 year old child who was using her Devil Fruit to disguise herself as an adult. In essence, the potential of Bonney's Devil Fruit is tied directly to her own childlike wonder and optimism. If said wonder is diminished or weakened, Bonney's powers weaken along with it.]]
44	** There is a pill found on Fishman Island that ages whoever takes it by 10 years. Vander Decken, one of the villains, attempted to use it on a child to make her physically old enough to marry, though he ultimately failed to obtain such a pill until ten years later, when the target of his desires naturally reached that age. Related are the Energy Steroids, also found on Fishman Island, that the New Fishman Pirates liberally take to gain PowerAtAPrice, the price being that they age to appear elderly by the time they're defeated and put in jail.
45	** In the Wano arc, Shinobu's Ripe-Ripe Fruit has the power to rapidly mature and decay things and people with a touch. Unlike the aging power of Bonney's Fruit, it's permanent. [[spoiler:Momonosuke orders Shinobu to use it on him knowing it will cost him his childhood and a good chunk of his life since the power of his adult dragon form is needed.]]
46	* While not a ''true'' instance of this trope, it's played out exactly the same. An episode of ''Manga/PsychicSquad'' has Minamoto becoming hypnotized into seeing the three young girls he watches over as five years older -- and much more irresistible -- teens. This was to test if he really might be falling for them.
47	* Lambo from ''Manga/Reborn2004'' does this in ''spades'' with his Ten-Year Bazooka, turning him from a five-year-old BrattyHalfPint into a suave 15-year-old PrettyBoy. [[spoiler:In one instance, he does it twice during a battle and turns 25 -- and is a veritable powerhouse, to boot.]] However, the transformations only last for about five minutes. I-Pin has been hit by the bazooka more than once as well, and in one notable misfire, Gokudera actually became [[FountainOfYouth younger]] after accidentally being hit. [[spoiler:One can only imagine the utter hilarity that occurred during the five minutes the adult Gokudera was where his younger self used to be.]]
48	* In ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' the TokenMiniMoe Yukari wishes she had the MostCommonSuperpower the others in the UnwantedHarem has, so she comes up with this magical spell and is aged into a teenager and becomes a HotWitch whom all of the boys drool over, complete with a large bust (though her boobs are still not as big as Kurumu's).
49	* In one episode of ''Anime/SailorMoon [=SuperS=]'', [=PallaPalla=] switches Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon's ages around as a joke. A similar plot is present in the original [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]].
50	* Episode 18 of ''Manga/SgtFrog'' revolves around Natsumi being subject to a TransformationRay that turns her into an adult. She's even more annoyed when she finds it's part of a scheme on Keroro's part to enter her in a [[FanService beauty pageant]][=/=][[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine manzai]] contest and win a rare model kit.
51	** In the manga, it's just a straight-up beauty contest, in which Natsumi experiences a WardrobeMalfunction as she reverts back to her original age -- all in front of horny geeks.
52	** A later episode has the Bipolar Momoka experience this same growth, at the same beach, but there is no contest for her to partake in. Instead, it's some sort of Iron Man competition.
53	** Another manga-only story has Natsumi being hit with the same ray at a ski resort, being hit on by the same creeps from the beach, and another wardrobe malfunction, courtesy of explosives.
54	* In ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' Yami, once, use her Shapeshifter abilities to change her bodies size and measurements to look more mature and adult-like. Although her choice to remain in her child-like form is most likely due to the fact that it is comfortable when in combat.
55	** Nemesis in the sequel ''Darkness'', most of the time, to tease Rito and give him a taste of MarshmallowHell.
56	[[/folder]]

58	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
59	* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In Season 10 episode 28, one of Planet Gray's monsters uses an aging gun to turn Careful S. and Kalo into senior citizens.
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder:Comic Books]]
63	* Franchise/TheDCU FifthWeekEvent ''Sins of Youth'' combined FountainOfYouth with this, with a combination of Chaos Magic and an "aging ray" turning all the teenage heroes into adults and all the adult heroes into kids.
64	* Subversion: Darkdevil from ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl'', according to his origin and mind-trip sequence. Subverted in that he's had to live as a twenty-something for a while and seems to prefer it that way.
65	%%* Was once used by Mojo on the ComicBook/NewMutants. It also turned them evil.
66	* In ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'', teenage Green Lantern Arisia's power ring responded to her desire to be older and aged her into a twenty-something literally overnight.
67	* In the original ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', Starhawk and Aleta have three children. The children are captured by Starhawk's and Aleta's father, and turned into psychic vampires brainwashed to kill them. In the process of draining their parents, the children age to adulthood. Fortunately, they are stopped and realize what they were doing, but [[spoiler: the shock starts the aging process again, aging them to old age and then dust.]]
68	* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': Captain Marvel, a boy who transforms into an adult superhero. This actually causes a problem when he gets involved with a superheroine his own age, and they have to break up because their teammates, who don't know Marvel's civilian identity, would take it the wrong way. That may have been the origin of Major Might's very brief affair with Amazonia in ''Webcomic/LoveAndCapes''.
69	[[/folder]]

71	[[folder:Fan Works]]
72	* ''The Battle of Aki'': In parts [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon/art/The-Battle-of-Aki-Pt-2-753293143 2]] and [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon/art/The-Battle-of-Aki-Pt-6-Lime-763169630 6]], [[HotWitch Kyogoku Maria]] feeds an aging potion to [[spoiler:Maeda Keiji and UsefulNotes/DateMasamune and UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura's son Masa's ex-SplitPersonality Sei's (who has a body of his own from her sorcery) one month old surrogate son Nobushige, turning him into a teenager as [[EmergencyTransformation as means of aiding]] his surrogate family. He gets better at both times when Kyogoku reverts him [[FountainOfYouth back into a baby]]]].
73	* In the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story "Empath And The Golden Magic Bird", Sassette instantly ages to an adult Smurf when Smurfette accidentally makes a wish that Sassette would be her age to have an appropriate romantic relationship with Empath when the Wishing Bird was in the Smurf Village.
74	* ''Fanfic/GazDreamsOfGenie'': Gaz ends up magically aged into adulthood when [[spoiler: her third wish results in her [[BecomingTheGenie becoming a genie]]]].
75	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
76	** ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/32366/grow-up-apple-bloom Grow Up, Apple Bloom]]'' has the titular filly acquire an aging potion from [[MagicalNegro Zecora]], which turns her into a mare almost as old as her sister Applejack.
77	** ''Fanfic/InnerDemons'': [[spoiler: [[BigBad Queen!]][[FaceHeelTurn Twilight Sparkle]] magically ages up the Crusaders, and also offers to give them their cutie marks, in [[MoreThanMindControl exchange for their loyalty]]. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo take her up on it, while Apple Bloom refuses]]. This gets reversed at the end of the story, with help from the Princesses.
78	** ''Fanfic/RainboomsAndRoyalty'': At the climax of ''Hot Heads, Cold Hearts, and Nerves of Steel'', [[BigBad Sombra's]] attempt to steal the lifeforce of the kidnapped foals to [[PoweredByAForsakenChild empower himself]] causes them to physically age up at least ten years each, though their mental state stays the same. This gets reversed after Sombra is defeated.
79	* ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'': In one chapter, [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures Jade]] uses a staff based on Mad Mod's technology to drain [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Cyborg's]] age, making herself an adult while turning Cyborg [[FountainOfYouth back into a child]]. Uniquely, ''she's'' the one who reverses the process, as she's sick of the PowerIncontinence that came with the change.
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
83	* From ''WesternAnimation/KirikouAndTheSorceress'' [[spoiler:Karaba, the Sorceress, kisses Kirikou and he goes from a cute boy to a handsome man in a matter of seconds]].
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
87	* ''Film/CirqueDuSoleilJourneyOfMan'' uses this in conjunction with FountainOfYouth. When LoveRedeems the middle-aged Everyman and he accepts his childhood bowler hat, [[spoiler:he magically ages into an elderly man, but having realized true happiness and a new vigor for life, he sees the transformation as making him "young again"]].
88	* It's not overnight, but the characters that were teens live temporarily as adults in ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle''
89	* In a definitely non-humorous example the titular ''Film/{{Warlock\|1989}}'' curses a young woman to age by 20 years in a night, ''every night'' [[ForTheEvulz for no reason other than she got into his way]].
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Literature]]
93	* Jake in the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' book ''[[Recap/AnimorphsTheFamiliar The Familiar]]''. He wakes up as a young adult in a world where the Yeerks control the Earth. By the end of the book, he's back to being a young teen, though.
94	* In ''Literature/FiveChildrenAndIt'' by Creator/ENesbit the older four get annoyed with how they have to chase their baby brother around all the time, so they wish him into a grownup. Unfortunately, he didn't learn all of the lessons associated with growing up, such as not being a total prat, and turns out to be even more annoying this way.
95	* In ''Literature/FlossieTeacakesFurCoat'', the eponymous 10-year-old longs for the fun and independence of her older brother and sister. When she puts on her sister's fur coat and does up the magical third button, she becomes the 18-year-old Floz.
96	** There's a boys' version by the same author, Hunter Davies, entitled ''Literature/ComeOnOssie'', featuring a boy called Oswald who turns into an 18-year-old when he borrows his grandfather's medal. There are several sequels to both books.
97	* In ''Literature/FreakyFriday'', a mother and daughter [[FreakyFridayFlip change places for a day]], giving us a FountainOfYouth and an Overnight Age Up in the same story.
98	** In the sequel, set several years later, the father and brother also trade places (sequel to the book, not the film).
99	* In ''Literature/HowlsMovingCastle'' by Creator/DianaWynneJones, Sophie is cursed by a witch and turned into an old woman.
100	* In the children's book ''Magic by the Lake'' by Creator/EdwardEager, the protagonists are four siblings (three girls, one boy). Two of the girls wish themselves into teenagers and go on a double date, and their brother and sister have to chase them down and undo the wish before the date goes too far.
101	* In ''Literature/{{Replica\|MarilynKaye}}'' #16, ''Happy Birthday, Dear Amy'', Amy, Number Seven mysteriously ages into her twenties overnight on her thirteenth birthday. [[spoiler:The rapid aging was caused not by Amy's unusual genetics, but by [[AppliedPhlebotinum some sort of implant]], and she reverts to being a teen [[NoOntologicalInertia when it is destroyed]].]]
102	* In ''A Tale of Lost Time'' by Evgeny Schwarz, four lazy kids wake up as old people one day as four evil wizards have stolen all of their wasted time for themselves.
103	* In ''Literature/TheThiefLord'', there is a magical merry-go-round that can act as either a FountainOfYouth for those who ride it, or provide this effect, depending on what animals you ride. At the end of the book, one character chooses to age himself from a young teenager to a young adult -- and is stuck that way.
104	* ''Literature/ThirdTimeLuckyAndOtherStoriesOfTheMostPowerfulWizardInTheWorld'': In "And Who Is Joah?" Joah is a thirteen year old girl. The demon prince Rak'vol ages her up by a decade after he's captured her so that, it's implied, she's attractive to him.
105	[[/folder]]
106
107	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
108	* ''Series/BanjunDrama'': The "Christmas Wish" segment of "g.o.d, Love Christmas" centers around a six-year-old boy with a crush on his teacher. He wishes on a Christmas tree to grow up, and when he wakes up the next day his wish has come true. He uses this chance to get closer to his teacher, though he still retains his childish personality (which weirds her out).
109	* The TV Show ''Big John Little John'' was half this trope and half FountainOfYouth as the titular character switched back and forth between childhood and adulthood at least once an episode.
110	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Jo Grant is aged into old age when caught in the effect of the battling time flow analogues created by the Master and the Doctor. She gets better.
111	* Isabelle from ''Series/TheFortyFourHundred'' goes from being an infant to being twenty-something over the course of an end-of-season montage. She turns out to be super-intelligent but naive. She begins a relationship with Shawn, which her father finds out about. Father is outraged, taking the view that she is not legitimately an adult.
112	* In the ''Series/GilligansIsland'' episode "Meet the Meteor" (Ep.2.32), a meteor lands on the island and emits cosmic rays, causing all of the characters to age rapidly.
113	* This is the main power of the Old Dopant in ''Series/KamenRiderDouble''. [[spoiler:When the [[TransformationTrinket Old Memory]] is destroyed, the effects are reversed.]]
114	* A variation on ''Series/{{Manifest}}'' as a plane takes off in 2013 for a simple three hour flight. When it lands, the passengers are rocked to discover it's now 2018. Thus, from their perspective, all the people they meet are now instantly five years older while they stay the same. The biggest example is 10-year old Cal coming face to face with his twin sister Olive, who's now a grown teenager.On the other hand the passengers all look the same as they did before the flight leaving which would understandably seem just as strange to those who know them.
115	* ''Series/{{Merlin\|2008}}'' used a spell to turn himself into a white-bearded elderly version of himself a few times--and it wasn't just a glamour, as he became noticeably more crotchety and complained about old-person maladies while under the spell. [[spoiler: The last scene of the series finale reveals that he eventually got there the hard way.]]
116	* On ''Series/MidnightTexas'', a woman dies while giving birth in the supernatural town's church. The main characters are thrown when the child goes from an infant to a toddler in minutes. She's a were-tiger and by the next day, has become a fully grown teenager.
117	* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
118	** In ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', Cassidy, Devin, and other citizens of Reefside (as well as a pop star) were turned elderly by an youth stealing vacuum monster.
119	** In ''Series/PowerRangersZeo,'' Billy got turned into an old man for two episodes. (They were his LAST two episodes. Old Billy is TheNthDoctor being used to cover for the actor saying ScrewThisImOuttaHere to behind-the-scenes homophobia.)
120	* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' has an episode where two kryptonite-infected teenagers hook up at a party and have a baby...one week later. Clark and Lana end up taking care of the child as he rapidly ages from infant to child before exploding from the effects of rapid aging.
121	* "Brief Candle," from season one of ''Series/StargateSG1'', finds Jack O'Neill infected by Goa'uld nanites which send him flying into old age.
122	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
123	** First used in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E12TheDeadlyYears The Deadly Years]]", in which the ''Enterprise'' crew discover a planet where the colonists are afflicted with a rapid aging syndrome and are affected by it themselves.
124	** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' does the "adults becoming elderly" version a few times:
125	*** In the "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E7UnnaturalSelection Unnatural Selection]]", the ''Enterprise'' receives a distress call from the ''USS Lantree'', where they find everyone dead from rapid aging, and must find the cause before scientists on a research colony suffer the same fate.
126	*** "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E3ManOfThePeople Man of the People]]" has Deanna aging as a side-effect of a psychic ambassador using her energies to influence the outcome of his mission.
127	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
128	** After gaining human form upon her essence's escape from her primordial prison, [[Characters/SupernaturalGods Amara]] ages from a newborn to adult woman over the course of a few episodes, consuming souls to fuel the process.
129	** The fifth season episode "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester" involves a poker game played using years as stakes; Dean doesn't fare very well in the game and ages rapidly. He gets better.
130	[[/folder]]
131	[[folder:Music Videos]]
132	* The video for Ondina's "[[https://youtu.be/H_tvpfCredU?si=lj1tH9Z2QTbp8nZc Into The Night]]" has an elementary school teacher, played by NonSingingVoice model Petra Lundqvist, transform her students into adults via pixie dust.
133	[[/folder]]
134	[[folder:Video Games]]
135	* The protagonist of ''VideoGame/CoolCoolToon'' turns into an adult in chapter 4, due to [[spoiler:Ival's HeroicSacrifice or Iyamy casting an aging spell]].
136	* At the end of ''VideoGame/EternalRing'', [[spoiler:the God-child understanding what death is due to his sorrow over Lyta's death causes him to instantly physically mature into an adult.]]
137	* The Old status effect in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' continuously lowers the affected character's level, weakening them and turning their hair white. [[FridgeLogic Strangely enough]], it also affects CoolOldGuy Galuf.
138	* Getting hit by a Magician's spell without armor in ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'' turns Arthur into an old man.
139	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
140	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' to an extent. Link goes to sleep for seven years, aging gradually, but it's instantaneous to him and the player.
141	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' lets Link turn Cucco chicks into grown roosters in an instant using the Bremen Mask. This is significant because their owner, Grog, felt that not seeing the Cuccos grow up was the only true regret he had in the face of Termina's imminent destruction. The Fierce Deity Mask, when worn, makes Link taller and look more like an adult, and his battle cries are taken from his adult form from ''Ocarina of Time''.
142	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Purah, one of the Sheikah's leading magitek researchers, is Impa's older sister, but due to an accident while experimenting with age-reversing tech, she physically resembles a six-year-old girl when Link meets her. By the time ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom Tears of the Kingdom]]'' begins, however, Purah is considerably older, more closely resembling her teenage counterpart in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity''. While there was a TimeSkip between games, it was only four or five years at the minimum. Exploring Purah's lab near Hateno Village, Link can find one of her diaries, which reveals she worked out the kinks in this tech and aged herself up to her physical prime.
143	* In ''VideoGame/RootsOfPacha'', your child magically ages from a baby to a toddler after the naming ceremony thanks to Pacha's blessing.
144	* Played straight in the video game series ''VideoGame/TheSims''. The characters "poof" from one age group to another once the requisite time has passed. In the first game this only applies to babies becoming children - children never become adults and adults never grow old - but from the second onwards it affects everyone.
145	* The Age-O-Matic spray in ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' turns kid Miis into grown-ups. There's also the [[FountainOfYouth opposite effect]] in the Kid-O-Matic spray. Kid Miis who want to get married will ask the player to turn them into adults before they can.
146	** Done more literally with baby Miis -- they age up one year a day. Once they are fully grown, you can choose to have them stay on the island, and thus age like a normal Mii. Before you do so, you have the option to change how old they are. The game sets them as children by default, but you can make them grown-ups. You can even make them older than their parents.
147	* In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'', [[spoiler:the rebuilt Colony Omega rapidly ages the reborn Miyabi, Cammuravi, Mwamba, and Hakt to be near Homecoming]]. The process is seen on-screen when [[spoiler:the reborn Ethel uses it to become physically old enough to fight again]].
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Web Comics]]
151	* A few downplayed examples in ''WebComic/BrotherComplex''. The first is with Rose, who certainly grew up far more than she should for the one year Jack was abroad. Not just in body, but in intellect as well when the teacher calls her over to write on the blackboard during one session. The second is with [[spoiler: Eclaire over the course of three weeks after she takes up Mimi's offer to receive the same benefits she and Rose did]].
152	* In a storyline in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', Coney and Nigel use the time machine to age themselves from babies to adults so they can spend one day as adults before Nigel moves away. A funny moment is when Coney spits a whole bunch of teeth and says "Baby teeth".
153	* [[http://www.dreamtalescomics.com/Blog/category/age-progression/ These downloadables (with pay)]] from [=DreamTales=] Comics.
154	* Marcy and Francis in ''Webcomic/PvP'' both undergo instant age-ups in response to certain events (having sex for the first time, Francis deciding to leave home when the office relocates to Seattle, etc.) They instantly "{{level up\| At Intimacy Five}}" into their new ages, complete with a display of their changed stats. It gets lampshaded by other cast members.

157	[[folder:Web Original]]
158	* Known on Platform/DeviantART as "Age Progression", and is fairly common on that website.
159	** [[http://garciarael.deviantart.com/favourites/43686822/Age-Progression-Sequences This entire collection]] is full of sequences with this trope in effect.
160	** Inverted even more commonly with "Age Regression".
161	* Platform/{{Pixiv}} on the other hand has a tag specifically for this transformation called [[https://www.pixiv.net/en/tags/%E6%80%A5%E6%88%90%E9%95%B7 急成長, or "rapid growth"]]. Warning: Potential NSFW works ahead.
