== Anime and Manga ==
* [[K-On!]] does this in the second season, when the older girls go on a class trip, leaving Azusa behind.
* The end of episode 22 of ''[[
* ''[[Persona Trinity Soul]]'' uses three repeated scenes to establish episodes 9 and 10 as simultaneous; one follows the main protagonist, while the other follows what the other major characters did during that day.
* The '''entire fourth disk''' of ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' is just four recap episodes, each rehashing the plot up to that point, each from the point of view of a different character.
Line 16:
* Two issues of ''[[Invincible]]'' depict Omni-Man telling his son about where he came from. The first time, he'd lied to him, and said his home planet Viltrum was a peaceful place, and that he'd been sent to keep order on Earth. The second time, he told the truth: He's a [[Galactic Conqueror]], just one of millions in the Viltrumite horde. They both show the same setting (scenes on Viltrum share the same characters, but while they were all talking joyfully in the first story, they were fighting for supremacy in the second, etc.). In a neat bit of work with the medium, the second story is shown using basically the same page layouts as the first as well, making the distorted echo effect even more obvious.
* ''[[Elf Quest]]'' does this with two entire subseries, Shards and the latter part of Hidden Years (featuring different characters and locations). The two series don't technically share scenes, but there is a lot of overlap, with characters in the one story learning about what happened to their friends in the other. In the European version, they were published together in extra thick comic books which contained one episode of each, happening simultaneously.
== Film ==
Line 38:
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', the new series. After {{spoiler|the basestar leaves with Roslin and Baltar on it}}, we first see how the fleet reacts, focusing on {{spoiler|Lee Adama}}. The next episode takes place at the exact same time, but from the perspective of the people on the {{spoiler|Basestar}}. Notably, we see the aftermath of the Battle of {{spoiler|the Resurrection Hub}} before we see the actual ''battle''.
* The daytime soap ''[[The Young and The Restless]]'' does this with a few scenes from the end of the previous episode played at the start of the next to keep the viewer current without disrupting flow.
* Technically different shows, but one episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' showed Spike's victory over his first Slayer and Angel congratulating him. Then the episode of ''[[Angel]]'' shown immediately afterward revealed that Angel had his soul at the time, and the tone of his congratulation took on a very different interpretation.
* ''[[Eastenders]]'' once depicted a two-hander featuring Peggy and Pat at Pat's house which ended with their fight being interrupted by a ringing doorbell. The following episode was another two-hander featuring Pat's husband Roy and Peggy's fiance Frank (who was also Pat's ex husband). The plots of the two episodes came together at the end when Frank and Roy returned to Pat's house and and rang the doorbell just as Peggy and Pat's fight from the previous episode was in full flow.
* The ''[[Leverage]]'' episodes "The Girls' Night Out Job" and "The Boys' Night Out Job" happen simultaneously, the former following Sophie, Parker, and [[Sixth Ranger|Tara]] as they investigate a thief who's trying to steal secrets from the Venezuelan government and sell them to the highest bidder, the latter following Nathan, Hardison, and Eliot as they try to help out [[Heel Face Turn|a former mark turned good]] who's inadvertently gotten roped into what appears to be a drug smuggling plot (again).

== Video Games ==
* The first chapter of ''[[Gears of War]] 3'' is split into two segments that happen concurrently and focus around defeating a [[Disc One Final Boss|Lambent Leviathan]]. The first half is played by [[The Hero|Marcus]], [[The Lancer|Dom]], [[The Chick|Anya]], and [[Canon Immigrant|Jace]] as they defend the ''Raven's Nest'' and use it to push the Leviathan under a bridge. The second half is played by [[The Big Guy|Cole]], [[The Smart Guy|Baird]], [[Took a Level
* The Swamp Camp section in ''[[Dreamfall]]'' is seen through the eyes of all three protagonists, who arrive at different times but all come together by the time {{spoiler|the Azadi troopers storm the camp}}. The visual clue and the synchronization point is the flare signal seen by every protagonist as the approach the pier.
Line 53:
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[South Park]]'' had the three-party Meteor Shower Trilogy taking place on the same night: the first episode had Cartman babysat by Stan's [[Big Brother Bully|sister]] Shelly while his mom was at a party; the second part showed Stan with his parents at that party, which the government thought was a Heaven's Gate-style cult meeting; and the third had Kyle and Kenny at a camp for Jewish kids, where a villain tried to summon an [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Biblical Bad Guy]].
* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' had an episode concentrating on Timmy's friends investigating him which was set during an early episode, "A Wish Too Far", in which Timmy had been trying to become popular. There were overlapping scenes, and partially overheard conversation, from the earlier episode.
* "Heat" and "Snow" on ''[[Hey Arnold!]].''
