History Main / TimeSkip

* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has a two-year timeskip following [[spoiler: the death of Behemoth]], during which Taylor [[spoiler: trains with the Chicago Wards, fights more Endbringers and Class-S threats than are covered in the story previously, and becomes a respected superhero]], with the timeskip concluding on the eve of [[spoiler:Taylor being admitted into the Protectorate and reuniting with the Undersiders.]]

* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has a six-month timeskip following [[spoiler: the death of Behemoth]], during which Taylor [[spoiler: trains and plans ith the Chicago Wards]] before emerging onto the scene to take out several powerful local capes with no sign of slowing down. Notably, the six months passed more time in costume for Taylor than had actually been covered by the entire previous part of the story.

** The plot also recently started up again after a two year timeskip before the crew reunited, which in real time was about how long it had been since they were [[InvoluntaryGroupSplit split apart]] in the first place. Notably, that's more than twice the length of time that passed in the main plot [[ComicBookTime which was told over the course of 13 years.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' takes place 70 years after ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' ended. Long enough that there are few surviving characters from the original series and the children of said characters are middle-aged adults.

* The ''{{Homeworld}}'' series of games has two timeskips: ''Homeworld: Cataclysm'' starts about fifteen years after the final battle of ''Homeworld'', and another hundred passes before the start of ''Homeworld 2''.

* ''{{Jumanji}}'' has an intro in 1869, where the title [[ArtifactOfDoom game of doom]] is buried in the jungle. It then cuts to [[ExtyYearsFromNow 1969]], where the protagonist Alan finds Jumanji, and ends up sucked into it while playing with his friend Sarah. Then goes to 1995 (the year of release), where two children find the game and end up freeing Alan. [[spoiler:When Alan beats the game, he and Sarah go back to 1969. After they throw the game in the river, cut to a 1995 where both are married and meet the children and their parents.]]

* ''ArrestedDevelopment'' had a five year TimeSkip between seasons 3 and 4 (4 being the first UnCanceled season). The narrative [[PlayingWithATrope Plays With This]] a bit by jumping around to various points during the five year gap to show [[HowWeGotHere how things ultimately came to a head in the present]].

* ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' Volume 3 has a one year time skip between #22 and #23 [[spoiler:after Rio Morales dies.]]

* ''Manga/DragonBall'' had a number of time skips during its run. This happened after every major story arc (apart from the Vegeta arc which led directly into the Frieza arc). The original manga ran for eleven years, with about three times that amount passing in-story. This amounted to no less than seven time-skips lasting a year or more. The most notable was the five year gap between the end of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai and the arrival of Raditz (which marked the end of the first ''Dragon Ball'' anime series and the beginning of the more sci-fi oriented ''Dragon Ball Z''), and the seven year skip back into a more comedic (but still dramatic) tone between the Cell and Majin Buu arcs.
** The follow-up anime series ''Dragon Ball GT'' is set a few years after the DistantFinale of ''Dragon Ball Z''. The finale itself was ten years after the Buu arc.
