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]])}}.
