* At the end of ''[[Okami (Video Game)|Okami]]'', a rainbow forms a bridge to the Ark of Yamato.

** In ''[[Okamiden (Video Game)|Okamiden]]'', rainbows can be used as bridges on an inhabited stormcloud.

* Similarly, at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', the seven [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|multicolored Sages]] [[All Your Colors Combined|combine their powers]] to form a bridge to Ganondorf's castle.

** Although it doesn't look like a real rainbow, as the color varies along the bridge's length rather than along its width.

* In the ''Yume Tsukai'' manga, the author invoke that, in Japanese culture, rainbows used to be seen as unnatural distressing phenomena at best and as bad omens as worst, and that the optimistic connotations were brought only recently. Then this symbolism is milked for all its worth by using rainbows to symbolize the doomed relationship of the first seen client of the Yume Tsukai and {{spoiler|the unnatural, girly-looking boy who serves to channel the [[Eldritch Abomination]] who wanted to took over the school and the world}}.

* ''[[Pokémon]]'''s Ho-Oh is said to glow of all seven colors and only appears to remarkable trainers. When it shows up in the ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' animé for the first time, it's after Pikachu saves Ash (which was the very first episode that appeared [[Early Bird Cameo|before Ho-Oh appears in its own games]]). Ho-Oh shows up again a few times later as a [[Homage]] to Ash's [[Establishing Character Moment]] to [[Walk the Earth]] and [[To Be a Master]].

* ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' has a rainbow appear after the death of each Angel. A couple of them are [[Justified]] by large amounts of Angel blood in the air, giving the light something to refract through, but others show up alongside the iconic [[Creepy Cool Crosses|cross-explosions]] for no apparent reason. Given that this is ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]]'', no one is sure if this is [[Rule of Symbolism|symbolic of something]], [[Faux Symbolism|or just more pseudo-Christian imagery to mess with our heads]].

** Later reaches into [[Mood Whiplash]], especially when Unit-01 {{spoiler|eviscerates a Bardiel possessed Unit-03 and crushing the entry plug with Asuka still inside.}}
