[['''Series Minus Series Core]]''' is a kind of work-edition which consist of [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|taking a series and strip it of one (or more) core character(s)]]. Since most series are more-often-than-not [[Character Focus|character driven]], the removal of a key character can change the whole work radically, and that's where the fun of trope resides.
 
Think it with the [[First Law of Metafictional Thermodynamics]] in mind: if one BIG OBJECT leaves the stage, then plot can progress faster, other characters whose [[Out of Focus|focus might have been diminished]] may [[Economy Cast|gain greater roles]] ([[Hidden Depths|with new things to explore]]), and situations might [[Lighter and Softer|be sweeter]] or [[Darker and Edgier|more brutal]] without our [[Comic Relief]]/[[The Ace|Problem Solver]].

Depending on the media, it can overlap with [[Remix Comic]], [[Gag Dub]], [[Gag Sub]], [[The Abridged Series]]. When it's done by the original producer, it overlaps with [[Directors Cut]].
