* ''Franchise/MuvLuv'' has quite a lot of these, with skills appearing in ''Extra'' before showing up in ''Unlimited'' and ''Alternative''.
** Tamase has impressive archery skills in the Extra-verse, which appears during the CCSE to [[spoiler:disable a gun turret that was problematic in both runs]], as well as [[spoiler:shooting down her the falling HSST]].
** Mikoto spends much of his going on ridiculously extreme vacations with his father that gets him stranded at time. This helps considerably during the CCSE in the Unlimited/Alternative-verse. [[spoiler:Subverted after that, as it does not become much help after that.]]
** Takeru's video game skills allows him to master the [=TSFs=] faster than normal. The real value of his skills shines in ''Alternative'' when his knowledge results in the development of a new operating system software. As a result, [[spoiler:his team survives the unexpected coup of the 12/5 Incident, and Yuuko manages to complete Alternative IV by exchanging his proof of concept for the XB-70s.]]

God teaches Moses how to turn his staff into a serpent, and how to turn the skin of his hand leprous (as well as cure it), both in order to demonstrate that he is a prophet of the Lord. He performs the former, but the latter never shows up again.

* In the ''[=ReincarNathan=]'' episode "Swallow", when Nathan is reincarnated as a swallow and believes (wrongly) that he's doing a great job of parenting a fledgeling because he's doing "fun" things, he compares himself to his own father, who forced him to go to [[MuseumOfBoredom Museums of Boredom]] like the Heimlich Manuveure Museum. When the fledgeling gets swallowed whole by a snake, he suddenly realises that he knows what to do about that.

* After the crash of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines_Flight_123 Japan Airlines Flight 123]], which involved a total loss of hydraulic systems, a United Airlines pilot and instructor named Dennis Fitch spent some time considering how a pilot might control a plane if such an incident were to happen again (mostly involving varied engine thrust), specifically focusing on the DC-10 because it was the aircraft he was most familiar with. Four years later, Fitch was flying as a passenger on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_232 a flight from Denver to Chicago]] when that plane, a DC-10, suffered a total hydraulic loss as a result of an explosive engine failure. Fitch quickly offered his assistance to the pilots, and the four of them working together were able to bring the plane down in a semi-controlled crash on the runway, saving the lives of 184 people (a 65% survival rate), which is generally agreed to have been little short of a miracle.
