* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Creator/RogerStern's story, ''ComicBook/NothingCanStopTheJuggernaut'' from the early 80s, in which Spidey fights the recurring X-Men villain Juggernaut, was followed up by 2009's "Something Can Stop the Juggernaut". And to make it even better, the sequel was written by Stern as well!

* One of the most popular ''ComicBook/IronMan'' stories was ''Armor Wars'' in the 80s. Subsequently there have been two sequels to the arc, ''Armor Wars II'' (in the 90s) and Armor Wars III (in 2012).
* Roger Stern's ComicBook/SpiderMan story, "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut" from the early 80s, in which Spidey fights the recurring X-Men villain Juggernaut, was followed up by 2009's "Something Can Stop the Juggernaut". And to make it even better, the sequel was written by Stern as well!
* Creator/DonRosa wrote several stories in the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse that serve as sequels to stories by Creator/CarlBarks (Rosa was [[PromotedFanboy a big fan of Carl's works growing up]]). "The Money Pit" is a sequel to "The Trouble With Dimes", "Return to Plain Awful" is a sequel to "Lost in the Andes", and so on.

** Chapters 120, 130, and 157 are titled "Rentarou's Family's Daily Life" parts 1, 2, and 3 respectively. They consist of various 2 to 3 page skits showing the characters in one-off {{Friendship Moment}}s between the cast and often mix up the pairings of the girls seen normally in the series. For example, Mai taking care of Momoha after she'd been drinking, Kusiri and Momiji becoming a pair of tiny travelling nurses, or Nano mesmerizing Suu with her ability to recite Pi by memory.

* The "Sister II" arc of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' is rather predictably a sequel to the much earlier "Sister" arc. The initial "Sister" arc dealt with the events surrounding Ellen's creation via the Dewitchery Diamond, and the start of her journey to become her own person separate from Elliot who's memories she shared. The sequel primarily dealt with the fallout, such as the wizard who made the diamond, and swore to destroy any "abominations" created by it, and the fact that touching the diamond in the first place had a slightly greater effect on both Elliot and Ellen than anyone realized at the time.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries: The ''Johto League Champions'' episode "Beauty and the Breeder" where Brock meets up with Suzie and her friend Zhane at a breeders' competition counts as it recalls a few points about breeding mentioned in Suzie's debut in the Kanto episode "Pokémon Fashion Flash", and has Brock give back the Vulpix he got from her in said Kanto episode.

* In the middle of the Johto Arc of the Anime/{{Pokemon}} Anime, the episode where Brock meets up with Suzie and her friend Zhane at a breeders' competition counts as it recalls a few points about breeding mentioned in Suzie's original appearance in Kanto and has Brock give back the Vulpix he got from her in said Kanto episode.

* Music/{{Manowar}} had a unique case of prequel episode (song), with "Metal Warriors (Brothers of Metal Pt. 2)" released in 1992 on their ''Triumph of Steel'' album, and the "Brothers of Metal Pt. 1" released in 1996 on their ''Louder Than Hell'' album.

* Music/HeIsLegend's first album included the track "The Seduction" which was followed by "Dixie Wolf (the Seduction of...)" in their second album. They also had one of "China White" parts 1, 2, and 3 in each of their three albums.

!!Examples:

%%An episode in a series that serves as a sequel to a previous episode. Different from a MultiPartEpisode, in that there may be several episodes (if not several ''years'') between the first episode and the one that picks up the plot again.

To qualify, it's not enough to simply have an object, setting, or character from one episode appear in another, otherwise any series with a RoguesGallery would consist almost entirely of Sequel Episode. If ''Cop Show'' has the MainCharacters arrest a thief and recover some stolen jewels in one episode, and a later episode has the thief break out of prison and cause some more havoc, that's just a OneShotCharacter moving up to RecurringCharacter status. If, on the other hand, a later episode has the cops discover that the stolen jewels they recovered were actually fakes, and they have to interrogate the thief to find out where she hid the real jewels, ''that'' is a SequelEpisode; the plot resolved in an earlier episode is reopened and explored again in a new episode.

Often uses CrossReferencedTitles. Related to ContinuityNod, CallBack, and PlotArchaeology.

* The ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' series currently consists of several vaguely related stories that take place in the same universe. However, there are a few cases of Direct Sequels. Mattimeo was sequel to the Original book; Mossflower has a sequel in ''Legend of Luke'' and a prequel in ''Martin the Warrior'', and ''The Bellmaker'' is a direct sequel to ''Mariel of Redwall''.

* Frequently happens with [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Black Library]] stories, where authors often revisit plot threads from earlier books, often with many years and various different books passing between. This tends to happen a lot between ''Literature/HorusHeresy'' and "present day" stories, such as ''Titanicus'', which continues the story of the stolen book from ''Mechanicum'', though taken place thousands of years later (while also being a spinoff of the ''Literature/GauntsGhosts'' series that explains why the Titan legion that was supposed to back the eponymous team up in one of the earlier books couldn't make it).

** "Pilgrim of Eternity" is a sequel to "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E2WhoMournsForAdonais Who Mourns for Adonais?]]", and even features Apollo's original actor, Michael Forest, doing a RoleReprisal.

* [[Music/GiIvaSunner SiIvaGunner]]'s high quality "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKKOsq-SglU Main Theme - Ubisoft E3 Conference 2016]]" rip is mostly him ranting about the lack of ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil2'' in Creator/{{Ubisoft}}'s [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]] conference that year. The following year, his "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MzGCXpXUn0 Main Theme - Ubisoft E3 Conference 2017]]" rip has him travel to 2017 (when [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Max Profitt Haltmann]] [[ItsALongStory has taken over his channel while he's asleep]]) to discover that Ubisoft is indeed making the game.
