Line 23:
** Also, in the last season all three Sailor Starlights transfer to Usagi's school.
*** So does Minako, who actually was in a different junior high.
** In the manga, Haruka and Michiru transfer to Juuban High since their old school was blown up at the end of the Death Busters arc. They both have to wear their new
* Arika's enrollment in Garderobe Academy in ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' isn't exactly a transfer, but it has all the other symptoms of the trope, including having the one student who knows (and dislikes) her being assigned as her roommate and guide around the school.
** ''[[Mai-HiME]]'''s Mai Tokiha and her brother Takumi, on the other hand, are. Their arrival at the school was planned well ahead of time, however.
Line 31:
* In ''[[Zatch Bell]],'' the character Shion (partner to the momodo Nia) is introduced as a transfer student to Kio's high school. When her mini-story-arc is completed, she exits with the excuse that her transfer stay was over.
* [[Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora|Shattered Angels]] more or less depends on this trope to get the story started.
* The ever-[[Genre Savvy]] Haruhi from ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' goes ''looking'' for a "mysterious transfer student" to complete her [[Five-Man Band|club]]
* Rukia did this on the [[Second Episode Morning]] of ''[[Bleach]]''. This one's more plausible than normal, as she has no problem altering the memories of others to suit her purposes.
** Including the new characters in the filler arc, eight more Shinigami have since posed as transfer students, though many of them are clearly [[Dawson Casting|too old]] to be in Ichigo's class.
Line 42:
* Happened to both Bakura and Kaiba in the manga and first series of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]!''. (Kaiba is already a student at the beginning of the second series)
* Happened to Tenchi, the "main character", in ''[[Tenchi in Tokyo]]'', after he moved to Tokyo.
* ''[[Kanon]]'',
* Sara in ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'', who managed to get into military school under a false name and raise no eyebrows.
* Aiko and Onpu came in to the first ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]'' series as transfer students. In the ''Motto'' series, Momoko would come in this way as well.
Line 54:
** In the latter series, Koshi wonders how a dimwit like Momoko passed the entrance examination. Turns out she went to an interview with a school official and her [[Battle Aura]] frightened him so much that he admitted her immediately.
** In [[Seto no Hanayome]], it helps that San's family has effectively taken over the school by the third episode.
* In the first episode of ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star]]'', Mai is the
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' subverts this trope, while touching all the normal bases with impressive grace. Each of the children/pilots has a different "first day" and covers a different "transfer student" plot.
** Shinji gets the "main character is starting a new life bit". He's ignored, worshiped and beat up by turns on his first day. Most conventionally, he becomes friends with [[Those Two Guys]].
Line 193:
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]''... where do we begin? Adam Dodd, Ken Lawson, Erick Rischio, Dacey Ashcroft and Kallie Majors, among others. (and that's only ''V3'')
* In the [[Whateley Universe]], Bladedancer and Carmilla and Heyoka all started at Whateley Academy late in fall term, at different times. Then Seraphim started winter term.
** [[Justified]] in that Whateley is specifically a school for young mutants, whose powers may spontaneously manifest and necessitate a sudden transfer from whatever school for 'baselines' they previously attended at any point in the school year. It would have to be a pretty atypical semester in which ''no''
