History Main / TeamShot

* ''Manga/DotHackLegendOfTheTwilight Bracelet'' manga has a page at the end called "Unplugged", showing the players behind the characters standing in a pose like this, including both the antagonists and protagonists. This is also the first time any of their true appearances are shown.

* The opening credits for ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' end with a classic TeamShot, as do the various ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' {{OVA}}s, and ''Anime/{{Grenadier}}''.

* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam La Verite''. At the end of the opening credits all of the main maid characters and Taro are in a line facing the audience.

* ''Manga/LoveHina Again'' parodies the trope by building a classic TeamShot with all the girls in front of the Hinata Apartments, and then literally dropping Keitaro into the scene to lay battered and broken on the ground in front of them. Then Naru lands on him, sitting.

* ''Anime/{{Moldiver}}'''s credits end with a TeamShot that shows both Moldivers and their "real" identities as separate figures. (See that page for an image of the TeamShot.)
* The end of the ''Anime/MyHime'' opening features a good portion of the female cast lined up, including most of the female students, Mashiro and Fumi.
** The first opening of ''Anime/MyOtome'' ends similarly. In ''Anime/MyOtomeZwei'', the participants in Operation Meteor Breaker pose for a picture after destroying an asteroid.

* ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'', with [[EvolvingCredits updates]] for the second season, even.
* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' -- one of the ending sequences almost perfectly matches the description.
** Also, the beginning of the episode where the team arrives on Hanging Neck Island for the Dark Tournament has a cool example.

*** They also get an absolutely awesome TeamShot in the climax, sharing and weilding safely the power of the Infinity Stone.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' has a dramatic scene toward the end with a TeamShot against a background of StuffBlowingUp... which is then PlayedForLaughs as a piece of debris suddenly knocks Mantis down.

* ''Series/Warehouse13'', especially in S3 when that is literally the ENTIRE OPENING.

* The opening animation for the DS version of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' features someone taking a photograph of all the playable characters [[spoiler:except Magus]] off a table.

* All matches of ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' end with a shot of the winning team. This includes 1v1 and 3v3 matches (where it's just the last character you played as in 1v1, and the winning trio in 3v3) and PvE matches (where it shows one of each type of villain if the players lose).

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* Happens two thirds of the way into the intro for ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''.
* Chris tries to take a TeamShot photo of the cast in the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', the twenty-two teens stand on the dock and smile, only to have Chris repeatedly delay the shot because of technical difficulties ("I left the lens cap on!" Or "Card's full!"[[note]]referring to the SD card in his camera[[/note]]) when Chris is finally ready and about to take the photo, the dock collapses under the campers' combined weight, [[RuleOfFunny sending everyone but Chris crashing into the water]].

Compare PowerWalk, some versions of the OpeningCreditsCastParty, VFormationTeamShot, SuperSentaiStance, and EstablishingTeamShot. Also compare OneCastMemberPerCover, which can show the entire team over the course of several covers.

* Present in the opening of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', as the large ensemble cast makes the PowerWalk from the other series impossible.

* ''Anime/OutlawStar'''s opening, which also serves as a SpoilerOpening as [[spoiler: Hilda, a rather important character that doesn't appear in the team shot, dies in the fourth episode]]

%%* Very common in ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' openings.

** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'':

* Every game in the ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' gameverse has the girls of the Moon Angel Wing in the cover.

* Happens two thirds of the way into the intro for ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''.

* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' features one at the end of both opening themes and at the beginning and end of the second ending theme.

* The cover of ''VideoGame/FightingForce'' has this as well as the character select screen.

%%* This is the standard way to end the credits for most HumongousMecha series.

* ''[[Anime/BubblegumCrisis Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040]]'' puts its team shot on top of a moving vehicle.

* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' -- one of the ending sequences almost perfectly matches the description.
** Also, the beginning of the episode where the team arrives on Hanging Neck Island for the Dark Tournament has a cool example.
%%* ''Anime/SailorMoon'', every season.
* In ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal,'' {{CGI}} group poses of the five senshi in a field of blue flowers with a humongous [[WeirdMoon full moon]] overhead begin and end the TitleSequence.
%%* Every ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' series
* Most, if not all ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' openings feature this at the end.
* ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'', including [[ColourCodedCharacters colour-coded]] spotlights matching the heroines.
* ''Anime/OutlawStar'''s opening, which also serves as a SpoilerOpening as [[spoiler: Hilda, a rather important character that doesn't appear in the team shot, dies in the fourth episode]]
* Every ''Anime/PrettyCure'' series. ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'' has some fun with it, having the mascots float by after the pose is struck, with the girls turning to watch them.
* The opening credits of ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'' ends with a static shot of the main characters in front of the mansion, looking like they're posed for a portrait. Which makes a lot of sense, given the "photograph" theme that runs through both seasons of the series.
* Very common in ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' openings.

* ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'', with [[EvolvingCredits updates]] for the second season, even.

* Similar to the above, ''Manga/DotHackLegendOfTheTwilight Bracelet'' manga has a page at the end called "Unplugged", showing the players behind the characters standing in a pose like this, including both the antagonists and protagonists. This is also the first time any of their true appearances are shown.
* ''Manga/DokiDokiSchoolHours'' has this with Mika-sensei meeting up with her students.

* ''Manga/Reborn2004''. Obviously, it's about a group of seven guys (and a girl, but that can be justified) fighting the Big Bad.
* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam La Verite''. At the end of the opening credits all of the main maid characters and Taro are in a line facing the audience.

* The end of the ''Anime/MyHime'' opening features a good portion of the female cast lined up, including most of the female students, Mashiro and Fumi.
** The first opening of ''Anime/MyOtome'' ends similarly. In ''Anime/MyOtomeZwei'', the participants in Operation Meteor Breaker pose for a picture after destroying an asteroid.
* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' features one at the end of both opening themes and at the beginning and end of the second ending theme.
* ''Anime/TheIdolMaster'': Several InUniverse, not counting both openings and a few of the endings.
* Present in the ending credits of ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex''.
* ''Anime/MekakucityActors'': During the opening credits, with the whole Mekakushi Dan standing in front of a wall covered in graffiti.

* The credit sequence for ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' -- a.k.a. the "The times they are a'changing" sequence -- ends on a team shot of the New Minutemen/Watchmen. It's nearly a BookEnd, since there's a photo of the original Minutemen about half a minute in when the film title comes up.
* The last shot of the ''Film/StreetFighter'' movie features this with all surviving good guys doing their classic VictoryPose.

* Present in the opening of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', as the large ensemble cast makes the PowerWalk from the other series impossible.
* The DVD box for ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' does this.
* House and the "ducklings" do this in the opening sequence of ''Series/{{House}}''.

* ''Series/Warehouse13'', especially in S3 when that is literally the ENTIRE OPENING.

* ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'':
** Playfully deconstructed; after every battle, the heroines (and hero) pose for a photo with the tagline "Shouri no POSE, kime!" (Roughly, "Victory Pose, Go!"). [[PlayerCharacter Ogami]] finds this somewhat awkward the first couple of times it happens. Every time new characters are introduced, they also find it incredibly dumb – but a couple of battles later, they're happily joining in. The high-water mark is in the third game, where Ogami is assigned to command a new team of girls – and is left as the only one posing, whilst his new comrades-in-arms recoil in confusion.
--->'''Glycine:''' Huh? What's that supposed to be?\\
'''Erica:''' Mr. Ogami, what are you doing?
** Played straighter in ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove'', where each character at the end of their arc ends up being the one who enthusiastically calls for the victory pose.
* Most ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'' games.
* Present on the boxart for many games in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries''.

* Every game in the ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' gameverse, as well as the ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' anime. (Yes, they each deserve their own entry. They're about as similar as a Greek epic and a sitcom.)

* The intro to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hikFCwduCIQ first]] ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage''.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', notably at the end of the "Meet The Team" movies and general promotional artwork. Of course no one character is more important, but they do seem to be arranged to some extent by popularity among players.
* The opening animation for the DS version of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' features someone taking a photograph of all the playable characters [[spoiler:except Magus]] off a table.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': The party, all standing around Yuna, when confronting Seymour for the first time.

* All matches of ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' end with a shot of the winning team. This includes 1v1 and 3v3 matches (where it's just the last character you played as in 1v1, and the winning trio in 3v3) and PvE matches (where it shows one of each type of villain if the players lose).
** Then there's the somewhat infamous one at the end of the "We are Overwatch" short. It's intended to showcase the game's cast all at once (as it was released before the game actually released as part of the game's promotional materials), but as produced a number of headaches for the fandom, as it has an actual canonical place in the Overwatch timeline (it shows Winston's rocket launching, placing it directly after the short "Recall"), but only half of the game's cast was ever in the organization Overwatch, even more have renounced it since it was disbanded, and none of them (except Winston) were actually present for the canonical launching. Most fans just assume that it's not canon and have moved on.
* The final memory in "Champions' Ballad" DLC for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' ends with a group photo of all the Champions (Mipha wanted to see how the camera function of the Sheikah Slate worked). Afterwords, Kass gives Link a copy of the photo, and Link can hang it in his house on the upper bedroom wall.
* When playing Defend in ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}'', the climatic final mission of the Evacuation campaign, you get to see one of the original [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/evolve/images/7/72/20-202560X160020Wallpaper.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150814073242 hunters]] or monsters depending on what side you're playing as the loading image.
* The cover of ''VideoGame/FightingForce'' has this as well as the character select screen.

* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': This serves as the series logo.

* Lampshaded, like everything else, by ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.

* ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'': Pose as a team, BECAUSE SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
* Because ''Webcomic/{{Chiasmata}}'' has three groups of four persons (representing Eukarya, Prokarya and Archaea, respectively), so it also has of three of these, [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=7068&p=177 here]], [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=7068&p=178 here]] and [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=7068&p=179 here]], althought it is not visible if they're standing in a straight line (persumably, they are). Unique in that their third group shot is interrupted and does not feature the fourth person in that group.

* Happens in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''.
* Happens two thirds of the way into the intro for ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''.
* Chris tries to take a TeamShot photo of the cast in the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', the twenty-two teens stand on the dock and smile, only to have Chris repeatedly delay the shot because of technical difficulties ("I left the lens cap on!" Or "Card's full!"[[note]]referring to the SD card in his camera[[/note]]) when Chris is finally ready and about to take the photo, the dock collapses under the campers' combined weight, [[RuleOfFunny sending everyone but Chris crashing into the water]].

* Happens in the intro for ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''.
* The last shot of the opening titles of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' contains one of these that was apparently staged in-universe.
* The last shot in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' usually is this, and [[spoiler:Stanford is also PromotedToOpeningTitles, although the last shot stays the same]].
* The opening title for ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' has a few of these from several angles. Also features twice in the pilot episode: the first is used as part of an in-universe ThemeTuneRollCall and PlayedForLaughs; the second is the episode's closing shot, and follows a much more somber scene with the party affirming their intent to slay a murderous dragon.

Compare PowerWalk, some versions of the OpeningCreditsCastParty, VFormationTeamShot, SuperSentaiStance, and EstablishingTeamShot.

Observe the influence on live-action: PowerWalk and some versions of the OpeningCreditsCastParty.

Compare VFormationTeamShot, SuperSentaiStance, EstablishingTeamShot.

* ''Animation/{{Mechamato}}'': The opening credits end with a shot of Amato, [=MechaBot=], Pian, Deep, and Mara in a group pose before displaying the title of the show.

* Appears in ''Series/CriminalMinds''. Most seasons have an opening sequence that ends with this (although a few cut out Garcia and one cut out Rossi, putting that person in a separate box on the side. The recently concluded Season 9 has the team being briefed on a case. The opening sequence always ends with the whole team standing together in front of the title card.

* The opening title for ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' has a few of these from several angles. Also features twice in the pilot episode: the first is used as part of an in-universe ExpositoryThemeTune and PlayedForLaughs; the second is the episode's closing shot, and follows a much more somber scene with the party affirming their intent to slay a murderous dragon.
