* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Negi attempts to make a single copy of himself using a [[Onmyodo|traditional Japanese magic that animates a paper doll]], with which he is unfamiliar. Eventually he succeeds, but all his previous (bungled) attempts also animate, and [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the small crowd of defective Negi-copies run around amongst his students, just as they decide to make him the object of a kissing competition. Later, in the manga storyline, Negi experiences the first day of the Mahora [[Festival Episode|festival]] multiple times via a [[Time Travel]] device, and fails to entirely keep the secret of what he's doing from his students.

** Kotarou and Kaede can use (the by-now mandatory) [[Ninja]] self-duplication techniques; Kaede notably starts off a beautiful [[Mundane Utility]] sequence by splitting herself into 14 copies in order to forage for edible wild plants ''really fast''.
