Line 17:
* ''[[Flame of Recca]]''
* ''[[Code Geass]]'' has Lelouch meet the [[Mysterious Waif]] about three-quarters of the way through the first episode, then receive his Geass and use it within the last couple of minutes.
* ''[[
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'': Similarly, while the main character first realizes her powers as a mage by activating [[Empathic Weapon|Raising Heart's]] [[Simple Staff|staff form]] and creating a full [[Deflector Shields|Barrier Jacket]] on the first episode, she only casts her first spell on the second episode, and unlocks her oft-used [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Shooting Mode]] on the third.
* ''[[Baccano!]]'' reveals its [[Immortality]] premise within the first third of the introductory episode when, after Firo's fingers are severed, the bloody digits slowly pick themselves off the ground and reattach to his hand. The effect is both unnerving and extremely cool.
* ''[[One Piece]]'': [[Rubber Man|Monkey D. Luffy]] ate his [[Superpower Lottery|Devil Fruit]] in the first chapter.
** There were two pilot chapters even before that which showed Luffy with his rubber powers.
Line 43:
* Subversion: ''[[Lost]]'' put solid proof of the island's unnatural properties into the first episode (Locke's standing up and walking), but didn't actually reveal there was anything odd about it until a later episode ("Walkabout", where we learn he was wheelchair-bound).
* Four out of the five protagonists (and one notable antagonist) of the British sci-fi series ''[[Misfits]]'' develop their powers in the first episode.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'
** It probably doesn't help that in ''[[Super Sentai]]'' (what ''[[Power Rangers]]'' is based on; costumed fight sequences are frequently dubbed over), the main characters rarely have additional powers, leading to the civilian-superhero power divide.
* The pilot episode of ''[[Grimm (TV)|Grimm]]'' is when protagonist Nick Burkhardt first becomes aware of [[The Masquerade]], because he starts seeing people turn into monsters that no one else notices.
