Line 37:
** In the manga, the entire crew sans Luffy get demoted to heroes of other stories during the Marineford Arc as they basically each become the hero of a different island so Luffy can have an adventure with a fresh supporting cast. This differs from normal split up arcs because we don't really get to see the crews stories while they are away, it's just implied with sparse glimpses and tellings. However, in the anime, they each get episodes explaining this more in-depth every so often while the story still mainly follows Luffy. This stops at the Return to Shabody Arc.
** Luffy's dad Monkey D. Dragon may be even more notable than Ace, as he's leader of the Revolutionary Army and the World Government's worst enemy. As yet, however, very little is known about him.
** One could include
* The forgettable mini-series ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] Chronicles'' had each episode do this with a different character in the series, be it Misty, Richie, or Brock.
* During the Chunin Exams, ''[[Naruto]]'' introduced Gaara. One can only imagine the story to how he went from the repentant [[Dark Magical Girl|Dark Magical Guy]] to the most loved man in his home village.
Line 53:
* Luna Inverse, Lina's older sister in ''[[Slayers]]''. One reason she's never shown in anything but flashbacks or cameos is she would easily solve all the problems the heroes face alone.
* Pansuto Taro in ''[[Ranma ½]]''. The only character he has any connection to (or wants any connection with) in the cast is Happosai. As such whenever he appears his plot is at a right-angle to the rest of the series, and the appearance of any of the regulars seems like it's contractually mandated.
* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in ''[[A Certain Scientific Railgun]]'' whenever Touma wanders over from ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' to save the day. Thankfully, he only does this twice in
* Originally played straight in ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'', with Ais Wallenstein occasionally wandering in and out of Bell Cranel's plotline. Inverted a few years later in ''[[Sword Oratoria]]'', with Bell Cranel occasionally wandering in and out of Ais Wallenstein's plotline.
* The original ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' series has Arale Norimaki around the Red Ribbon arc. Arale is better known as the main protagonist of the ''Dr Slump'' series.
* Perky, busty [[Cowgirl]] Melody Honey is a character whose “home” series is ''[[Seven of Seven]]'', but she is also a recurring character in ''[[Arcade Gamer Fubuki]]'' and ''[[Sgt. Frog]]''.

Line 75 ⟶ 76:
* Nick Fury plays this role in ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]''.
** In the same movie, we get Black Widow and a hint of ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'', who are obviously having their own adventures.
** In the latest{{when}} ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|Incredible Hulk]]'' movie, Tony Stark briefly appears at the end, hinting at the formation of the ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]''.
** In the first ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'' movie, Agent Coulson mentions "This isn't my first rodeo" and [[Nick Fury]] blatantly states that there are other heroes out there.
** The recent{{when}} ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'' film features [[Nick Fury]], has a cameo by Hawkeye, the aforementioned Agent Coulson, and plenty of Asgardian warriors who have had plenty of adventures off-camera. Tony Stark even gets mentioned in a throwaway line.
