** Chibi Usa also goes through this when Wiseman transforms her into the [[Dark Magical Girl]] villainess Black Lady. She is healed at the end of Sailormoon R and becomes a child again. It then happens ''again'' in both the manga's Dream Arc and a single episode of the SuperS anime, where she and Usagi actually swapped ages. The anime and the manga have different reasons and solutions for this problem.
* ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'' has enough [[Techno Babble]] about sub-lightspeed travel that you never know [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|just how old anybody is]], although they all feel the age that they appear to be. {{spoiler|The ending also ages up the entire Space Squadron save Sara herself.}}
* Also happens to Chris Thorndyke in ''[[Sonic X]]''. Unfortunately when he travels to Sonic's world an inconvenient time warp sticks him back in his twelve year old body. This left the audience dealing with a more mature and useful Chris while keeping his more familiar body, making it easier for animators who had been drawing him as twelve for a couple of years now. There were certainly [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap|fewer complaints about him afterwards]].
* Hana-chan does this in the first episode of ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]] Dokkan'', turning from a baby to an 11-year-old girl.
* In ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'', Ascot ages fast with ''sheer willpower'' because of a crush on the significantly older Umi. Having a entire world run on willpower can be useful sometimes.
Line 112:
* Examine the case of Walt from ''[[Lost]]'': he began the series as a 10 year-old. However, because the first three years of the show covered only the last three months of 2004, actor Malcolm David Kelley quickly grew older than his character. Thus the character was written out in season 2. When the series time-jumped three years after the rescue of the Oceanic 6, Walt returned in a few appearances, having aged appropriately. However, in the season 3 finale, Walt appears to Locke in December 2004, looking as the actor did in 2007. This appearance was referred to in-show as "taller ghost Walt."
* Arguably this is what happened to Trance in the second season of Andromeda, where her future self convinced her younger self to trade places in time. At one point in a later season she mentions that she misses being as young as she once was. Of course since she's actually the avatar of a missing sun, she qualifies as [[Really 700 Years Old|Really 700]] ''[[Really 700 Years Old|Million]]'' [[Really 700 Years Old|Years Old]].
* One of the more [[Egregious]] examples is ''[[V (TV series)|V]]'', in which Elizabeth goes from newborn to toddler to sexually active teen in record time.
* ''[[Ultraman]]'' Mebius takes place 20 years "real time" after the last monster attacked and brings back everyone except Taro's actor.
* In ''[[Hex]]'', Malachi does this, going from an infant to a teenager in a year, due to being half-demon.
