{{trope}}
A frequently-seen visual device, where two persons/vehicles pass by each other going in opposite directions; the exact moment they are next to each other is slowed down and often extended with [[Repeat Cut]].

* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' has one of the best examples of this. In a two-for-one deal, on the crowded streets of Kyoto, Misao, chasing after Kenshin, runs in slow-mo right by Aoshi, the man she's been searching for for years, while Kaoru and Yahiko, chasing after Aoshi, run in slow-mo right by Kenshin, whom they came to Kyoto to search for. It's a great scene.
* Happens in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', when Seiya and Usagi meet for the first time just as Usagi is parting ways with Mamoru.
