Line 39:
* An interesting version occurs in [[Bleach]]. The local [[Mad Scientist]] rigged up an entire town, sent it to the afterlife, and created an exact copy of the town, and set it up where the original was, in order to attempt to fool the [[Big Bad]], and also to prevent people from dying while the Shinigami and Hollows are fighting each other. How the scientist prepared for people trying to enter/leave the town while this switch is in place is never explained.
** Leaving is no problem - the inhabitants are all asleep (even the spiritually powerful ones, except maybe Kurosaki Sr. Entering... well, maybe [[Hand Wave|it's a Sunday]].
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'' - One technique simply creates an area where people are somehow absent; another employs a "sides of a coin" metaphor that prevents people on one side (like magicians) from interfering with those on another (those who aren't involved).
* The Red Night in ''~[[11eyes~]]''. While the space of the battles is confined to inside the city, the place gets severely wrecked up and, thankfully, none of the property damage that occurs within transfers back to the real world.
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Evangeline is able to create one of these with her magic, transporting herself and the victim to her special resort. Naturally, [[Year Inside, Hour Outside|only seconds actually pass while this is happening]].
** Later, {{spoiler|we meet two of [[The Psycho Rangers|Fate's minions]], Koyomi, who has some power over time and Tamaki, who has some power over space, by combining their abilities can create one of these which they can trap enemies in. Its' [[Achilles' Heel]] was physical contact with the user, so it didn't last ([[Defeat by Modesty|one can't become distracted when using magic]])}}.

* In ''[[Superman (film)|Superman]]'', General Zod, Ursa and Non are imprisoned in the Phantom Zone by Jor-El. In ''[[Superman II]]'', the Phantom Zone is shattered when Jor-El's son Kal-El (a.k.a. Superman) sends a terrorist hydrogen bomb into space to explode harmlessly, and the three Kryptonian super-criminals are freed to wreak havoc upon Earth.
* The ''[[Supergirl (film)|Supergirl]]'' movie has the title character thrown into the Phantom Zone by her nemesis Selena using the power of the Omegahedron, which strips her of her powers in the process. Zaltar, who came to the Phantom Zone as a self-imposed exile for losing the Omegahedron in the first place, pulls a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to allow her to escape and regain her powers.

* The [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|Warp]] of ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]''. Although the Warp is [[Death World|far more dangerous]] than most such examples; sending a foe there ''is'' generally a death sentence (or a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] sentence).
** [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|But when it's not...]]
