Line 39:
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' introduces the main characters this way. Chrono and Rosette (and in the anime, some of the other members of the Order) are introduced in the first chapter/episode. The next arc then follows them saving Azmaria, who later joins them. After that arc is over, a plot triggers flashbacks concerning the [[Big Bad]] and introducing Rosette's brother, around whom Rosette and Chrono's main motivations are centered. The gang takes off to find Joshua, and at the start of that arc is when the final main character, Satella, is introduced.
* ''[[Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei]]'' does this with the students in Itoshiki-sensei's homeroom class. They're all technically members of the class from the beginning, but they each get focus episodes that introduce them to the audience and show off their particular brand of insanity.
* ''[[Zoids]] Genesis'' tries to play with this a bit, by making characters take one episode or so to actually join the team, but otherwise is the usual: The series starts with [[Kid Hero|Ruuji]], the first episode has [[The Lancer|Re]] [[Token
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', to varying definitions of "main character" as many of them become [[Ascended Extra]]s and/or [[Demoted to Extra]]. The first episode of the anime introduces Goku, Bulma and the arc's villains. Over the next fourteen episodes Oolong, the Turtle, Master Roshi, Yamcha & Puar, Chi-Chi & the Ox-King, Krillin and Launch are gradually introduced.
** Keep in mind though, in the manga Pilaf and co. didn't appear [[Early-Bird Cameo|until the heroes were on their way to his castle for the last Dragon Ball]].
