* In ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad the Anti-Spiral]] traps Team Dai-Gurren in a LotusEaterMachine called the "Alternate Space Labyrinth," in which they live out their hearts' inner desires (for example, Simon's fantasy is getting to tag along with with the [[PosthumousCharacter already]]-KilledOffForReal [[DecoyProtagonist K]][[BigGood a]][[TheObiWan m]][[SacrificialLion i]][[TheAragorn n]][[DeadStarWalking a]] much like they did in the beginning of the series, whereas Viral gets to realize [[IJustWantToBeNormal his dream of having a family,]] which is impossible due to him being effectively immortal and Beastmen can't reproduce). One of these what-if scenarios (shown on a TV screen in this case) depicts Yoko and Kittan on their wedding day. What makes this so poignant is that, by that time in the series, Kittan [[DyingMomentOfAwesome had just died]] one or two episodes ago after giving a LastKiss to Yoko. The implication is that, had Kittan not [[HeroicSacrifice knowingly sacrificed himself]] to help the group escape from the Sea of Despair and things turned out differently in the battle against the Anti-Spiral, they ''might'' have become a couple ''for real''. And then, in KungFuJesus MessianicArchetype fashion, [[SpiritAdvisor the spirit of Kamina]] shows up to help ''all'' of the heroes break free. In Yoko's case, he's seen turning off the TV display of her and Kittan.]]

* A Christmas-themed episode in ''PowerRangersZeo'', "A Season to Remember", involved a {{flash forward}} showing Tommy and Kat being married. [[ShipToShipCombat Some shippers were not]] [[DieForOurShip accepting of this development]] [[FanonDiscontinuity and tend to ignore it]], although WordOfGod states that the event ''does'' happen. In fact, Catherine Sutherland (Kat's actor) has verified that she was in talks to appear in both ''[[PowerRangersWildForce Wild Force]]''[='s=] [[MilestoneCelebration "Forever Red"]] and ''[[PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'' as Mrs. Oliver (the former was scrapped during rewrites while the latter fell through due to Sutherand's pregnancy at the time).

* In a episode of ''TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron'', Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen travel to a BadFuture where Libby becomes a tyrannical despot and rules over all of the world due to Carl accidentally giving her a megalomania-inducing perfume developed by Jimmy as a present for her birthday party. In this era, [[MyFutureSelfAndMe they meet]] an older Jimmy who is a FutureLoser and married to Cindy, who doesn't seem all too thrilled by this and pretty much treats her hubby as harshly as she did in the past. Although Jimmy [[CannotSpitItOut has his fair share of]] (depending on the episode) ShipTease, SlapSlapKiss, BelligerentSexualTension, and UnresolvedSexualTension with Cindy, [[BigNo he does not take this development well]]. [[spoiler:Eventually, the two hook up for real in the present, [[LastMinuteHookup during the series finale]].]]
