[[New Transfer Student
For characters [[Trapped in Another World]], having this is not just a case of having a [[Limited Wardrobe]], but to remind the audience that this character is not native. Naturally adopting local clothing is a sign of [[Going Native]]. A younger version of [[Still Wearing the Old Colors]].
Line 24:
* Subverted? by Aoba from ''[[Code Breaker]]'' because she changes into her new Hesei high school uniform even before she starts attending class.
* Subverted by Ranma from ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'' who, despite the pressure of a rules-specific principal, gets into more trouble from his haircut than for not wearing a uniform. This may have something to do with how [[Limited Wardrobe|iconic]] his usual outfit is.
** Note that [[Ranma ½]] is ''the only character in the series'' to never, ''ever'', wear a school uniform, unless it's the female kind in order to pull a prank on Ryoga or fool Kuno for some obscure
** Ukyo from the same series generally wears her previous school's boy's uniform while attending Furinkan High, despite being "outed" as a girl in her first appearance. She occasionally wears a girl's uniform in the anime (beginning with a spotlight episode where she deliberately attempts to femininize her image) but was never shown wearing a girl's uniform in the manga (except for gym).
* Subverted again by Yuuri in ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]''. While initially [[Trapped in Another World]] unexpectedly, on a subsequent visit he's wearing normal casual clothes... but his advisors comment his uniform looks so spiffy they tailored up a perfect replica for him to wear as his royal outfit.
Line 38:
* In ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World]]'', Makoto, Jinnai, and Nanami wear their uniforms for a very long time. In the very end, when Makoto arrives where Ifurita is, his robe implies that he had been studying in El-Hazard long enough to [[Going Native|go native]].
* Despite having a direct [[Time Travel]] [[Portal Pool]] to the past in ''[[Inuyasha]]'', Kagome and her family seems to think her wearing her school uniform while traveling in the past is required. There are times when her mother has specifically prepared her school uniform ''just'' for going back in time. One would think that maybe standing out wouldn't be a good idea, but then everyone has [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] in that series.
** There's a logical reason for this. Part of the reason for school-specific uniforms in Japan ties into group
* Ikuno from ''[[Angel Densetsu]]'' refused to change her school uniform after transferring to her new school, since she didn't know how long she would be attending, due to her father's job. So she stands out, even when she ''does not have someone else's blood on it''.
* Himari from ''[[Omamori Himari]]'' keeps her "old" school uniform (or at least a different one) to warn demons who plan to attack Yuuto that she is there to defend him.
* Happens to Nagisa in ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]'' anime, but not the manga.
* In ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', each Miko is an [[Ordinary High School Student]] who is [[Trapped in Another World]], so... yeah.
* Rei Ayanami appears as a hyperactive transfer student in the episode 26 [[Alternate Universe]] of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Two spin-offs set in this
** The trailer of ''Rebuild 3.0'' shows her in the same uniform while confronting Mari.
** In the recent spin-of manga ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion Gakuen Datenroku]]'', Kaoru is presented as a transfer student who has his own uniform. Much like Rei, he wears it at all times.
