*** Similarily in ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'', where defeating secret characters such as Asagi and Lujei adds them to your roster but never includes them in cutscenes... because technically you only have their manikin, and they only appear when you forcibly summon them for battles.

*** Soul Nomad does have a version that even it can't justify, though: If you beat him as a [[Bonus Boss]], you can get Median the Conqueror as a party member.

* Special codes in ''[[Valkyria Chronicles II]]'' can let characters like Maximilian, Selvaria, and Isara join your party; despite being {{spoiler|on the other side and/or dead from the first ''Valkyria Chronicles''.}} There isn't even a [[Hand Wave]] justifying this. Naturally nobody reacts to the previous Imperial Prince and his champion fighting for Gallia. |

** There's also other characters from the first game; who are explicitly stated by the plot to be staying out of the Gallian Civil War to prevent a diplomatic issue; but that's a smaller wonk than the above. |
