* A meta example in Part 2 of ''Manga/ChainsawMan'', which began serialization after a two-year [[SeriesHiatus hiatus]]: the earliest chapters are devoted to setting up the story's new co-protagonist [[ContrastingSequelMainCharacter Asa]], with the titular Chainsaw Man not physically reappearing until five chapters in. This is achieved through a battle with the Cockroach Devil, who taunts Chainsaw Man by forcing him to [[SadisticChoice choose between two groups of people to save]]; our "hero" [[TakeAThirdOption chooses neither]], instead rescuing a cat that got caught up in the fracas and [[ComedicSociopathy leaving the imperiled people in danger]] as he kills the devil. One chapter later, [[SecretIdentity Denji]] is formally reintroduced as well during a series of VoxPops interviews about Chainsaw Man, where he [[ButHeSoundsHandsome tries to play up the latter's good qualities]].

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' is set directly after ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', and its {{Establishing Character Moment}}s serve to both introduce new fans to the cast and reassure old fans of CharacterReRailment.
** Tails is introduced in the first issue as a competent KidHero who [[BashBrothers teams up with Sonic to effortlessly defeat a group of robots]], as opposed to his infamous cowering before Chaos 0 in his previous appearance.
** Amy shows off both her fighting and leadership skills in the second issue, and while she's overbearing towards Sonic, it's to get him to join the Resistance full-time. Once he makes it clear he's not interested in returning, Amy confesses that his free lifestyle is exactly why she loves him and she wouldn't want to change that. This establishes that, while her crush on Sonic still exists, she's learned to respect his independence and boundaries since the 2000's.

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'': The protagonist of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', Flynn, is revered as a hero from the start of ''Apocalypse'' and a shining hope for the people of Tokyo, however he is only spoken of and never seen. Not long into the game the protagonist Nanashi and their partner Asahi respond to a distress call and are barely able to fend off a the most basic angel enemy before an endgame angel Aniel arrives that you can barely scratch. Just as Asahi begins to lose hope Flynn appears and joins the fight, dealing triple digit damage while you can barely manage double digits, effortlessly overwhelms Aniel to the point the angel cannot retaliate for the rest of the battle. Once the battle is done, he helps the wounded and coming to Nanashi's defence when Asahi's father scolds them for endangering their lives and even praising Nanashi's courage, establishing Flynn as a powerful but compassionate young man worthy of the respect and awe placed on his shoulders.

* ''Literature/ConstanceVeritySavesTheWorld'' opens to Connie wrestling an alligator woman minutes before her boyfriend Byron was supposed to arrive for their date, Connie more concerned that she hasn't picked out what she wanted to wear than she is about the more immediate threat. As a refresher for those who haven't read [[Literature/TheLastAdventureOfConstanceVerity the last book]] in a while, this tells us that Connie is a badass who has SeenItAll and is more concerned with normal problems than the more fantastical stuff.
