* This trope takes its name from the tongue-in-cheek fan logic to explain the viability of Sasami in ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' as a romantic partner for Tenchi, despite the fact that she is introduced as having the mind and body of a three-year-old. Of course, this joke is spoiled by OVA episode 9, which reveals that the real Sasami {{spoiler|died}} 700 years ago, and the "Sasami" seen on the show is actually {{spoiler|a goddess older than the universe itself who has been impersonating Sasami ever since then}}. |

** Pretty much Tenchi's whole family aside from him. His sister who looks to be in her mid to late 20's is 80. His father is 200 and looks like he is in his early 40's. His Grandmother ([[Berserk Button|whom no one should ever call her by that name]]) looks maybe mid 30ish and is well over 700 years old (As does his Grandfather, but he keeps a disguise up to make him look 60-ish). And his great grandmother looks to be in her mid 30's too. The parents of Azusa, emperor of Jurai, Tenchi's great-great-grandparents, show up in GXP and look to be in their 40's. Tenchi's other great-great-grandparent, Seto, shows up in the OVA and GXP and looks to about mid 30's despite being 5,000 years old. |

** Also from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'', supergenius [[Mad Scientist]] Washuu (who's actually either several thousand or several ''billion'' years old, depending on perspective) can change her appearance at will, and most often looks like a very precocious red-haired twelve-year-old girl. |

** Don't forget Helena from the anime. She appears to be a prepubescent girl somewhere between twelve and fourteen years old, apparently because she was turned into a vampire at a very young age, and has been around for a very, ''very'' long time. Just how long is never determined, but it's implied that she is one of the oldest vampires ever seen in the series. |

** Keel Lorentz, the head of [[Ancient Conspiracy|SEELE foundation]], is rumored to be an Eternal Jew himself. Though he leaves enough of the [[Hollywood Cyborg|high-tech implants]]during the Instrumentality. |

* ''[[Inuyasha]]'': [[Youkai]] have lifespans that are vastly in excess of human lifespans. Even child characters such as [[Kitsune|Shippou]] have been around for decades despite their biological youth. Teen characters such as Sesshoumaru have been around for centuries. Even a [[Half-Human Hybrid]] has an unnaturally long lifespan. The [[Canon]] never gives Inuyasha's age, but a flashback to his mother shows she wore the clothes of a Heian noblewoman, and that era died out 500 years before the story's setting ([[Filler|the anime gives him an age of 200]]). [[Big Bad|Naraku]] [[Half-Human Hybrid|himself]] has been around for decades at least. |

* Yuko Ichihara from ''[[xxxHoLic]]'' and ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' never mentioned her exact age, but she was on a first name basis with Clow Reed, several hundred years ago. {{spoiler|Clow accidentally [[Reality Warper|warped reality]] so that the universe would ignore her death. Once this is undone, 99% of people's memories are edited so that it is as if she died when she died as far as everyone but close friends are concerned.}} |
