* In ''Manga/DriftingClassroom'', main character Sho and his entire elementary school have been sent to a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] [[{{Mordor}} wasteland]]. Several times in the story, Sho's mother, still in the past, has received a psychic message from her son cryptically asking her to plant a DeusExMachina to rescue him from a cliffhanger that he's encountered in the future. She usually has to go through a short storyline to put everything in place, while the audience is waiting for Sho to escape the cliffhanger he's in.

Since the movie is based on a StableTimeloop, they should have all the messages in one batch, however, the narrative treats each new message sent from the past as a new event in the future.
