* The main cast of ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' ends up [[Arc Number|seven]] years into their future to the stasis effect of a mass-protection spell they cast on themselves. In that time, their guild has gone from one of the region's most powerful to its weakest.▼
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Happened more than once to Magik in the [[New Mutants]] comics—depending on who she brought with on a time jump, the future would be different flavors of bad due to the disappearances.
* There's a [[Donald Duck]] comic out there based around this. Donald travels 20 years into the future with Gyro Gearloose's time machine. In the future, everyone assumes that Donald left after Daisy married Gladstone Gander. To his satisfaction, he does discover that his old furniture has become valuable antique. {{spoiler|However, after traveling back to the present, he discovers that was just all [[Lotus Eater Machine|virtual reality]].}}
== [[Film]] ==
* The makers of ''[[Back to The Future]]'' considered that this could logically happen according to their time-travel rules when Marty and Jennifer went to the future in Part II, but only by some theories of time travel.
* In the ''[[Kim Possible]]'' movie ''A Sitch In Time'', both Kim and Ron traveled into the future and removed themselves from the time line, allowing {{spoiler|Shego}} to take over.
* The movie version of ''[[The Time Machine]]'' resulted in this, with the protagonist [[Stuck In The Future]].
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[The Time Machine]]'' does this. The protagonist whisks away into the future never to be heard from again. This is probably the [[Ur Example]].
* In Leo Frankowski's ''Conrad Stargard'' novels, something like this happening is a ''very bad sign indeed'', because the easy availability and utility of time travel means that no one is ever late for anything, because they can always go back in time in order to arrive when they are supposed to be. When a time

Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* In the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" a ship from the past did this, changing the present into a war with the Klingons. They sent it back and restored the timeline at the urging of Guinan, who could tell that things had changed. (Which kind of [[Fridge Logic|doesn't make sense]] when you realize the war timeline would be the original and the peaceful "original" timeline would be the altered timeline, but whatever.)

* Happened in ''[[BlazBlue]]'' to both Hakumen and {{spoiler|Relius}}, but in different forms. Hakumen was sealed away for 90 years {{spoiler|but due to confusing time, his former self, Jin, was still born and so on}} and wasn't apart of the story until Kokonoe took him out of the Void. {{spoiler|Relius, on the other hand, fell into a Cauldron during the Dark War and reappeared decades later, but eventually just went back to his original, science-filled ways.}}

* This is implied, but never directly shown, to be the result of Dr. Wily's time travel in ''[[MS Paint Masterpieces]]''. First, the "Too Serious" story arc shows a [[Bad Future]] and ends with that timeline getting erased from time-space, presumably because Dr Wily removed himself from history when he traveled to the future. Then the "Greatest Killer" arc shows the near-utopian future that came about in Wily's absence. This timeline also gets erased, presumably because of Wily's return to the comic's present.
