History TimeSkip / AnimeAndManga

* In ''Manga/BlackClover'' there is a six month time skip after the Clover Kingdom allies themselves with the Heart Kingdom to prepare for war against the Spade Kingdom. This has the Magic Knights train to become stronger during this time period, with some going to the Heart Kingdom to learn the kingdom's unique rune arrays to strengthen their magic.

* In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', in the episode after [[spoiler:Nagisa dies]], it's stated that five years had passed since then.

* Happens in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. One arc in the manga, and later sound novels, we meet an adult Mion, [[spoiler:who is really Shion]], in the world where Rena blows up the school (Atonement chapter). Similarly, in the anime, we see an adult ''Rena'', in that same world. However, she is the only surviving person from Hinamizawa.

** The series has one of these between each story arc, as the focus changes from protagonist to protagonist. The only exception is part [[spoiler:[[Manga/StoneOcean 6]], which ends with a universal rewrite]].
** The BigBad of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Part 5]], Diavolo, ''weaponizes it'' with his Stand, King Crimson. He can give somebody the impression of time skipping by up to ten seconds by forcing them to re-enact what King Crimson predicts will happen in the future without them being aware.
** [[Manga/PhantomBlood Part 1]] uses this trope normally. After the first couple chapters, we see Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando turn from snotty young boys into adults. The first season of the anime, which animates part 1 and [[Manga/BattleTendency part 2]] in 26 episodes, treats the transition from the 1st arc to the 2nd arc like a second time-skip.

** ''Boruto: Two Blue Vortex'' takes place three years after ''Manga/{{Boruto}}''

* ''Anime/OneRoom:'' The Hanasaka Yui segments begin during her senior year of high school while the [[BookEnds last segment and episode]] take place after her graduation from college. [[TheStinger The after-credits scene]] skips forward another four or five years to show her and her daughter (but still not the girl’s father, [[FirstPersonGhost the protagonist]]).
* ''[[VisualNovel/PhantomOfInferno Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom]]'' does after the [[WhamEpisode WhamEpisodes]]. Skips six months in which [[spoiler:Reiji [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]]. ]]

* ''Manga/ThePromisedNeverland:'' After Emma's investigation of Cuvitidala, the series cuts ahead a year and seven months to them finally hitting pay dirt.

* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' had a seven-year time skip between its second and third arcs.

* ''Anime/SakuraWarsTheAnimation'' has one year time skip after the events of ''VideoGame/SakuraWars2019''

** ''Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions'' is set 6 months after [[Manga/YuGiOh the original manga.]] The English dub changes this to being set 1 year after [[Anime/YuGiOh the original anime adaptation]], which incidentally introduces some {{Dub Induced Plot Hole}}s.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' has a six month timeskip after the end of the Dark Signer Arc.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': The first [[LongRunner 423]] chapters take place over a span of 6-9 months. Chapter 424[[note]]The beginning of the Lost Agent arc[[/note]] takes place seventeen months after Chapter 423[[note]]The end of the Arrancar Arc[[/note]]. Ichigo and his group age from 15 to 17, power levels jump, and the tone of the story starts becoming DarkerAndEdgier. The time-skip also creates a minor continuity issue. Initially, Ichigo's mother died 6 years before Chapter 1 and the Final Arc states she died 9 years before Chapter 1. The time-skip plus previous storyline covers 2 years, not 3 years. However, the time-span of the Lost Agent arc and between the Lost Agent and Final arcs isn't mentioned.
** Then the series skips ahead 10 years in its penultimate chapter.

* The final episode of ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' had a one-year timeskip, which disappointingly only shows Axel Thurston and the 3 kids, as well as a small glimpse of Dominic and Anemone. The fates of others, including the protagonists Renton and Eureka, are left ambiguous, though the blinking lights that symbolize them can be seen in a far-off forest.

* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' makes fun of this by featuring a Timeskip Arc (Two years for the manga, one year for the anime), where Gintoki and [[ShesAllGrownUp Kagura]] have obviously gotten stronger and appealing in their designs, while Shinpachi remains the same. Frequently, however, Gintoki points out that Gintama follows the "Sazae-san formula" (referring to the ongoing ''Anime/SazaeSan'' anime, which has spanned a couple of decades now but the characters show no sign of aging), rendering the timeskip impossible for now.

** [[Manga/PhantomBlood Part 1]] uses this trope normally. After the first couple chapters, we see Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando turn from snotty young boys into adults.
*** The first season of the anime, which animates part 1 and [[Manga/BattleTendency part 2]] in 26 episodes, treats the transition from the 1st arc to the 2nd arc like a second time-skip.

* ''Anime/SonicX'' had a six-month time skip halfway through the first season.

** ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'' takes place two years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War and shows [[spoiler:[[TheyDo how Naruto and Hinata fell in love]] and became the main OfficialCouple]]. [[WordOfGod Kishimoto stated]] that he wanted another timeskip for the movie because he wanted Naruto to be at least 18 (he's actually 19 in the movie) before [[spoiler:he and Hinata became a couple]].

* ''Anime/TowardTheTerra'' had at least 3 time skips in its 26 episodes. The first of which occurs very early, accounts for roughly 4 years, and isn't obvious until it's specifically mentioned 3-4 episodes after it happened.

* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' undergoes a ten-year[[note]]4 if you count the 6 from the DistantFinale[[/note]] timeskip between the second and third series. It undergoes another six year timeskip for the fourth series. The initial announcement that Nanoha is now 25 years old was met with various FanArt and FanWebComics of Nanoha lamenting that she's now [[ChristmasCake an old woman]].

* Three years pass between the end of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and the start of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''. This allows for a new generation of Chosen Children, since the old generation is now past the CompetenceZone. The exception would be Takeru and Hikari, who are promoted from their previous statuses of {{Tagalong Kid}}s.

** The RecycledINSPACE third season took place after the second season's DistantFinale, but [[YearInsideHourOutside each universe skipped a different length of time]], providing a [[PlotRelevantAgeUp Plot Relevant Age Down]].

* The volleyball manga of ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'' has several of those after [[spoiler: Karasuno loses to Kamomedai in the quarter-finals of Nationals. It skips to the main character Hinata playing beach volleyball in Brazil for two years after graduating high school, then to him joining the first division professional volleyball team MSBY Black Jackals and having a match against Kageyama's team Schweiden Adlers, and finally to him and Kageyama participating in the 2021 Olympics. After that, there's another short skip to the year 2022 where he and Kageyama play in the Brazilian and Italian pro volleyball leagues respectively. Their second and third years of high school are summarized briefly.]]
