== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Afro Samurai]]'', after losing the headband to some thugs as a kid, the titular character finds out that the current Number Two is his swordmaster, whom he'd trained under for ''years''. In the manga, he even walks the earth for five years looking for it.
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** ''[[OneThere Piece]]'' hasis an amusing scene where Luffy and Buggy are ''standing next to each other'', and keep looking in exactly the wrong directions to actually see each other. They even have a short conversation without realizing who they're talking to.
** A far less amusing example occurs in Robin's backstory. When she was very young, her mother left on a quest to discover the true, unrecorded history of the world (a quest Robin herself now pursues). She managed to return to Ohara (after escaping a Marine ship) just when CP9 launched an assault, causing Robin to run to the Tree of Knowledge, ''just'' as her mother was running ''from'' it; the two rushed past each other without either noticing the other.
* The first [[All There in the Manual|sound stage]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] A's'' had both the protagonists and the [[Hero Antagonist|Wolkenritter]] visiting [[Hot Springs Episode|a newly opened hot spring]] and missing a chance meeting with one another. This was mostly thanks to Nanoha and Fate spending [[Ship Tease|most of their time there washing each other's backs]] instead of wandering around the place with [[Those Two Guys|Alisa and Suzuka]].
* This happens in the ''[[Death Note]]'' anime; Light and Misa both wonder who the other Kira is while drinking in the same coffee house.
