* Averted for fun in the ''[[Slayers]]''
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', the older the magic, the better. This is especially seen in the Waking the Dragons arc. Got 5000 year old magic? Too bad, my magic is ''10,000'' years old.
* ''[[The Mysterious Cities of Gold]]'' - All of the [[Lost Technology]] of the [[Mayincatec]] [[Precursors]] is far superior to what is produced now, even by the European nations. They have boats moved by solar-powered engines while Europe has not even discovered the steam engine yet.
Line 34:
** Magic itself also follows this rule. Servant Caster, who lived in the Age of Gods [[Classical Mythology|(Ancient Greece)]], can use very powerful spells using few (and sometimes only one) word, while modern magic users need one minute to conjure magic of such power, it's no wonder that her "High-Speed Divine Words" skill is at A level.
* Asura in ''[[Soul Eater]]'' is the first kishin to have ever formed, and is the strongest by far.
* Dialed down to a realistic level in ''[[Rocket Girls]]'', when Mukai explains to Yukari that older technology has had all the bugs worked out and is therefore preferable to new, untested technology. This comes back to bite him when he wants to use a new fuel in the new rocket that Yukari is slated to crew.
