Line 76:
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': {{spoiler|Homura seems to walk through some time portal when time traveling}}.
* ''[[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time]]'': Actually plays with both Worm Hole and Instantaneous travel. Makoto's first leap she goes through a very strange occurrence, all subsequent leaps after are instant.
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]''{{'}}s "time gates", watched over by Sailor Pluto, appear to be this form of time travel.
==Instantaneous Time Travel==
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
* The Cassiopeia in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' seems to function like this.
* ''[[Primeval]]'' has The Anomalies, [[Negative Space Wedgie|big glowing]] [[Timey-Wimey Ball|balls of timey wimey stuff]], step into it and find yourself in the past or future instantaneously.
* In ''[[
* In the ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' novels there is one instance of Nagato sending Kyon and Asahina three years forward in time in what Kyon experiences as an instant.
* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie]]'', the time travellers' motorbikes glow brightly, then they speed up and disappear in a flash of light.
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
* [[Harry Turtledove]]'s [[Alternate History]] novel ''Guns of the South'' has time travel via square platforms that apparently dematerialize the user in a fashion similar to ''[[Star Trek]]'' transporters. We only ever see them in use once, as {{spoiler|a Confederate soldier shoots at someone using the platform, causing it to break down and eventually explode.}}
* [[Slaughterhouse-Five|"Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time,"]] meaning that he lives his life out of order, but there are no discernible time travel moments or effects.
* Captain Picard time-travels this way in "All Good Things...", the finale of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]. The only explanation we get is that [[A Wizard Did It|Q did it]].
* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', Ange is split / time travels when she jumps off the roof of the hospital, but there is no detail given as to the process by which she actually does it, since the third installment ends with her jumping off the roof, and the fourth installment begins with her already in the meta-world. Granted, of course, that the meta-world itself is outside of the time-space continuum.
* The [[Planet of the Apes]] variety could be number 3, but as it's never shown, we can't say for sure. It's not one or two, though, based on some of the dialogue from ''Escape''.
