13	Characters using a cloak, or a BadassCape, for {{Teleportation}}. This could be rooted in the fact that cloaks are often used to hide the user in the dark, so a someone who goes into a dark alley while wearing a black cloak appears to disappear. Expect the user to whip the cloak around so it blocks any view of their body, then for them to disappear when they are behind the cloak.

21	* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun'', the main villain and president of the United States, Funny Valentine has a Stand named "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" that, among other things, allows him to use an American flag as a sort of teleportation cloak.
22	* Kaede from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has an artifact that kind of does this... it leads to a beach house.
23	* A villain from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' has the "Cape of No Return". He throws it over his opponent and it teleports him to a random location anywhere in the universe. Although he has no control over where the cape takes them (Kuwabara was taken a few miles away), the cape usually lives up to its name by sending the victim to Hell, outer space, or some other hazardous location.
