Line 43:
* The [[Colony Drop]] version is also used as a joke in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] W'', where [[Little Miss Snarker|Ruri Hoshino]] undergoes all the physical growth she did in the six ''years'' between ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' and ''The Prince of Darkness'' in only six ''months'' between the first and second halves of the game.
* ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'''s Kaoru gets this when he realizes the lovely adult woman he meets at the start of the series is the same little girl he played with as a kid. Not to mention he gets an up-close and personal introduction to just how well she [[Marshmallow Hell|developed]] during that first night.
* ''[[Death Note]]''. After {{spoiler|L's death}}, we come back after a few years' gap and Light's little sister Sayu has done exactly as this trope predicts, going from an adorable kid to a [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] hottie. Matsuda even gets a crush on her, despite knowing her since she was a kid and [[May–DecemberMay-December Romance|being 11 years older than she is.]] [[Overprotective Dad|Soichiro is not pleased, of course.]]
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', England leaves the young America and tells him to grow taller and stronger. When they see each other again… oh, my. America is quite taller than England.
** And then there's France's reaction to pubescent-but-not-quite-legal-looking-Italy.
Line 58:
* In the first episode of ''[[Basquash]]'', Dan realizes—a little later than Miyuki would've wished—that the busty mecha mechanic he's been hanging around with for the past few hours was his childhood friend from years ago.
* There's a variant in [[×××HOLiC]], as of Chapter 187, {{spoiler|as Kohane visits Watanuki some years after he's taken over Yuuko's shop, and comments on how good she looks in her school uniform. When she responds that he's constantly saying it, his response hints at this trope.}}
* In ''[[RahXephon]]'' Haruka makes a comment about Ayato finally growing taller than her just before admitting to him that not only is [[May–DecemberMay-December Romance|she in love with him]] but that {{spoiler|she's ''still'' in love with him, as they used to be [[High School Sweethearts|middle-school sweethearts]] before the universe decided to fuck things up between them with [[Year Inside, Hour Outside|time dilation]] and a mind wipe.}}
* In the first ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'' sound stage, Shamal notes that Suzuka has become quite beautiful in the ten years since A's.
** In that case, '' [[Fundamentally Female Cast|everybody]]'' grows up quite nicely, along [[Older and Wiser|with some wits]] and [[Took a Level in Badass|battle]] [[Lady of War|competence.]] {{spoiler|Except the [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|Wolkenritter.]]}}
