Line 47:
* Rather plot-important in ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]''. {{spoiler|It didn't look the way it does in real life... but it was a 30-meters tall ''David sculpture''. It got retconned into the Tower we know and love when Momoka rewrites reality to free her friend Yuri from her abusive father.}}
* In ''[[Gantz]]'', the tower can be seen from the apartment where Gantz gathers its latest "recruits".
* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' plays with this trope in the two-part movie story ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection]]'' and ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation]]''. When the villain of ''Reflection'' goes to ground in Tokyo, the good guys set up shop and carry out their search from the Tokyo Skytree, said tower having been recently completed when ''Detonation'' was released in Japan. This leads to the battle with that villain {{spoiler|taking place at the Tokyo Tower anyway}}.
=== Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building ===
Tokyo's city hall is a distinctive building with two tall square-ish towers, each of which has an observation deck on top.

* [[CLAMP]]'s fond of using it in this way, as they do in both ''[[X 1999]]'' (the Dragons of Earth are headquartered beneath it) and ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' (it serves as a foil to Tokyo Tower in a world where there are only two intact structures left).
* Its ruins play a small role in ''[[Silent Moebius]]'' as the resting place of Grospoliner, Katsumi's sword.
* It was nearly attacked by EI-02, the first [[Robeast|Zonder Robo]] in ''[[GaoGaiGar]]''.
* It was the nest of the Devil Gundam in ''[[G Gundam]]''.
* And it was seen in a ruined state in ''[[Code Geass]]''.

* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover ''[[The Girl Who Loved]]'', Cuteness falls from the observation deck of the Tower when she vanishes one of the windows with accidental magic in response to Rei pressuring her on the whereabouts of (the currently-dead) Usagi.
