A story in which the characters we know are seen in a reality that's somehow different, often disturbingly so. If they can access multiple alternative universes at the same time, that's The Multiverse. Sometimes everyone has an Evil Twin. Other times, everyone has a twin that's just a little different. Allows the goodies to be baddies for an episode, or for half of the cast to be killed — but not really. Sometimes it's just part of Side-Story Bonus Art. Given a long enough run, any series based on superhero comic books will run into these. If the writers want to depict an Alternate Universe, but the show's genre would not usually allow an Alternate Universe per se, the depiction may be accomplished via an extended Dream Sequence. This trope is not to be confused with the following: Alternate Continuity — The meta version, where a set of works is declared to take place in different universes (or, more specifically, different Canons). Alternate Reality Episode — Asking and exploring a What If X and Y happened differently? question. Alternate Universe Fic — Pretty much the same as above but for fanfics. Here at TV Tropes we use slightly different terminology, hence "universe" instead of "reality". Another Dimension — Technically directions, such as left/right, up/down, and forward/backward. Some people say past/future, or time, is another one. Some also say the direction perpendicular to past/future is to different universes, hence over time "dimension" has become synonymous with "universe". Constructed World — It's not Earth. Simple, right? May be meta-caused by aforementioned Alternate Continuity; as well as by any of the three varieties of Discontinuity (Canon Discontinuity, Fanon Discontinuity, or Negative Continuity). Specific variations: Alternate History — Some major event in the past changed, like the Russian Revolution never occurring. Alternate Timeline — This alternate reality is reached by rewriting history. Different from Alternate Universe the same way using a new piece of paper is different from using an eraser or correction fluid. Alternate Timeline Ancestry Fake Better Alternate Timeline Alternate Tooniverse — An animated counterpart to reality. Bizarro Universe — A lot of things in that world are reversed from the usual context, good is evil or vice versa, etc. Crossover Alternate Universe — A universe that is created for a crossover. Dark World — Our world's dark, sinister opposite. Elseworld — Famous characters are placed into a situation which is potentially wildly different from the norm. Gender-Bent Alternate Universe — Males and females are reversed. It's a Wonderful Plot — You get to see how the world would have turned out if you were never born/existed. Merged Reality — A universe where two or more universes are combined together into one. Mirror Universe — Often a subset of Bizarro Universe, Good and Evil are reversed, but otherwise most of the things are the same. The Multiverse — The people involved have the capacity to cross over to more than one additional universe. Point of Divergence — One small change caused a huge difference between the universes. In Spite of a Nail — Tiny changes have made the world almost the same, but the differences are critical (or wildly different, but the characters are still the same and still together). Prime Timeline — The original timeline, the one all these alternates are an alternate to. Retro Universe — The universe obviously resembles the past, and may or may not include additional fantastic elements. Role Swap AU — A universe where some or all of the main characters are the same, but they've rearranged their roles. Often seen in superhero stories, with the same group of characters but the powers, alter egos and origin stories rearranged. Short Screentime for Reality — The alternate universe is incredibly vast and exciting compared to our own limited, ordinary universe. Another type of Alternate Universe is that which doesn't take any of the characters, but instead takes concepts, or machines. Such Alternate Universes are uncommon, but exist. Gundam is the perfect example, with no less than ten separate universes, all of them rehashing essentially the same plots and concepts — in particular, the conflict between those living in space and those living on Earth. With giant robots. This trope is a common excuse for game masters to use when importing player characters from one tabletop role-playing campaign to another. Compare with Masquerade, where a world might look the same, but something hidden makes it different. See Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment for examples wherein someone from one universe projects their feelings for their version onto a different universe's version. |

Decrypting Rita has four such universes at minimum, not counting Universe Aleph: Universe 1: The beginning universe, a Science Fiction spy thriller where Rita is the fastest cyborg spy alive. Represented with blue. Universe 2: A Slice of Life drama where Rita is a former dancer with plenty of problems on her mind. Represented with red and yellow. Universe 3: A Dungeons & Dragons-esque fantasy world where Rita is a dragoness with two lovers living with her. Represented with gold and umber. Universe 4: A Gaslamp Fantasy with Floating Continents and airships where Rita is a Hat Lady. Represented with green. Universe Aleph: A Beautiful Void mountain of eggs watched over by Kim-Aleph, where Rita is all of the above and more. Here, Color-Coded for Your Convenience applies more to the characters than the world: Kim-Aleph is green and Rita-Aleph purple. |

In the season four finale of Adventure Time, the Greater-Scope Villain the Lich finds and opens a portal to The Multiverse. When Finn and Jake follow, we see them in a universe where the Mushroom War never happened. Thus, the Candy Kingdom doesn't exist, Jake can't talk, and Finn is not the last human. He also has a robot arm. We find out more about this in the season 5 premiere. Finn wished the Lich out of existence, so he and Jake ended up in an alternate timeline where the Ice King performed a Heroic Sacrifice to prevent the final bomb from falling in the Mushroom War, and the creation of the Lich, from ever happening. | |

The Hetalia Bloodbath 2010 event: the culprits turn out to be alternate versions of various countries from another world where everyone has cat ears and they walk around nude like it's no problem, and apparently contains 123 different Frances. The survival of that world depends on finding a nation with a certain mark on their chest or butt before the end of Christmas, hence the stripping. It Makes Sense in Context. And that's not counting the High School AU or the Nyotalia-verse which Estonia stumbles upon. |

Sunrider Academy is a Highschool AU of the main Sunrider universe. Sola's route reveals that both universes are part of a larger multiverse, as Academy!Sola is one of several "fragments" of the main universe Sola, created when the main Sola was transported thousands of years into her future; as such, Academy!Sola should not exist and the plot of her route involves preventing her from being erased from reality. [RE]turn is an alternate universe to Sunrider Liberation Day, in which Claude transports Kayto three days into the past and gives him a chance to prevent the disastrous events of the Liberation Day ceremony. |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony takes place in an alternate universe where the Danganronpa franchise is a popular series of video games and anime. So popular, in fact, that it became a reality TV show where high school students willingly sign up to take part in real killing games where they are mind-wiped and implanted with the fabricated personalities and backstories of Danganronpa characters as a form of Enforced Method Acting. It's mentioned that world peace has been achieved and there are no wars or conflict anymore, so watching Danganronpa is now the only way for humanity to satisfy its lust for violence. | |

Sluggy Freelance is almost the Sliders of webcomics. Among the worlds its characters have visited are: A sci-fi dimension heavy on tropes from Star Trek and Alien, A "Dimension of Pain" inhabited by demons, A rather saccharine dimension where everyone is always nice and friendly to each other, there's no beer, and the main source of food is rice cakes, A dimension where everyone has purple hair and speaks Portuguese, An anime-parody dimension where battles between good and evil were regularly fought out by giant robots, in which the entire universe is actually a power source for a giant waffle iron (don't ask), A dimension that has been invaded by Aylee's race, and A dimension that has been overrun by mutants, with the only survivors holed up in the Orwellian 4U City, which keeps its inhabitants drugged into submission. John Ringo's Hell's Faire features several Sluggy Freelance strips as if they were created within the novel's setting. This was possibly a favor in return for the shout outs to Sluggy Freelance in the third and fourth books of the series. |

Unlike the traditional Lyrical Nanoha setting, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT is set in a universe without magic and alternate dimensions. Instead, the characters are normal humans living on earth, dueling one another via a recently introduced virtual reality-based Card Battle Game. The franchise itself is one to the Triangle Heart series, where it's the rest of the Takamachis that live a secret battle-hardened lifestyle while Nanoha is an ordinary little girl. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has one of these in Episode 26 with the Big Bad's Lotus-Eater Machine. In a different vein, the new Parallel Works music videos leading up to the movie seem to be using these. The series also has a High School AU manga. One fan also seems to make an excellent example with an AU universe comic about TTGL worthy of the series. |

In Higurashi the Ground Hog Day Loop is revealed not to be repeats of the same events but instead different universes with a certain person pushing the Reset Button after each arc searching for a fragment in the sea of fragments where Rika won't be killed. In Umineko we are introduced to witches who can travel in the sea of fragments looking for specific events that fit their needs or wants. | |

From JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run onward, each Part takes place in an alternate universe with parallels to the previous timeline. Word of God has gone on record saying the universe of Steel Ball Run and JoJolion is an entirely separate, unrelated universe with a new continuity that merely pays homage to the original story. The Big Bad of Steel Ball Run has a Stand based around weaponizing a similar concept. He could escape death by pulling an identical version of himself from another universe to replace him, and could also force others to come into contact with their doppelgangers, and thus be obliterated. The other universes are almost identical, with the sole prominent difference being the lack of the Holy Corpse in all but the main universe. |

A major plot twist in Rave Master involved this trope: the entire series exists within an Alternate Universe, which was created when the last survivor of the original reality manipulated time in order to create a parallel world where The End of the World as We Know It didn't come to pass. The Omnicidal Maniac that was destroying this parallel world was in fact a balancing force created as a result of the unnatural divergence in the timestream. | |

Dela the Hooda: Universes are classified into "alternate universes" and "parallel dimensions." Alternate universes are usually Alternate History, such as Edith's homeworld where Erasmus Darwin unleashed an alien plague that caused mass animal uplift and can sometimes be traveled to by accident via wandering into "soft places." While parallel dimensions are completely different worlds, such as Dela's "Babylon 5 meets Lord of the Rings" homeworld of Mhâr, and are considerably harder to reach. | |

In Dragon City, Erin's friend Natasha reveals herself to an alternate universe counterpart despite Erin having blue scales and Natasha having brown. Actually, as Natasha (the brown Erin) points out, due to genetics, Erin was more likely to be brown than blue and that the blue Erin is a genetic fluke. Yes, Erin IS that vain to have made friends with her other world counterpart. |

Dragon Ball has three varieties: The first is the demon world, which mirrors the regular setting except for the fact it is populated by demons. It first showed up in a filler episode of Dragon Ball Z dealing with a martial arts master from the demon world breaching the seal between the two worlds in order to kidnap human girls but later was added into continuity proper when the evil wizard Babadi enslaved the demon world's strongest fighter. The main villains from Dragon Ball Online hail from the demon world and Dragon Ball Xenoverse implies they too want to break the seal between the two worlds. The second variety comes in the form of multiple timelines, a concept introduced when Future Trunks arrived via time machine to try and discover how to defeat two enemies from a very dark Bad Future. Unfortunately he was followed from an even darker future from which Cell hails. He killed his timeline's version of Trunks, who had already killed the Androids Cell needs to absorb, leading him to steal the time machine so he could absorb them in the past. Dragon Ball Online implies these alternate timelines are potentially endless and the main job of the protagonists was to prevent more of them from splitting off before encountering villains that aimed to change the known timelines rather than create new ones. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Super introduces the third variety that comes in the form of twelve separate "universes", which come in pairs that are determined by their designated numbers adding up to thirteen. The main setting is designated Universe 7 and so it paired with Universe 6, which superficially resembles it but has seen some drastically different developments over the course of its own history. |

A large percentage of Rick and Morty revolves around parallel universes and inter-dimensional travel. In one episode, it is revealed that many of the infinite other Ricks from alternate dimensions came together to form the Citadel of Ricks, a society made entirely up of Ricks with their Morty companions, complete with their own form of government. The ability to travel between dimensions has also helped the duo on more than a few occasions. Most notable was the time where Rick irreversibly altered the DNA structure of everyone on Earth, making them Cronenberg creatures. They remedied the problem by finding an alternate dimension where both Rick and Morty die shortly after solving the problem, leaving the "invading" Rick and Morty to bury their own corpses and assume their own lives in a new dimension. | |

In Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, alongside a surprise return to Edolas, it's revealed there are other dimensions connected to Earth-land that aren't usually capable of being reached. One such Alternate Universe is Elentir, the Transcendent Magic World, where magic power flows in such an abundance it actually threatens to erupt and destroy it in a cataclysm without the aid of an order of priests that use White-Out Magic to pacify the land's magical energy. It is the home of both another Exceed named Touka and the White Mage/Faris, the latter of whom used the former to come to Earthland as part of a scheme to save her world from the Moon Dragon God Selene. | |

SCP Foundation. The Foundation has many contained objects that apparently come from (or are doorways to) other universes, many of which are similar to the Foundation's universe. Dr. Mackenzie's SCP-001 Proposal ("The Legacy"). In his diary The Administrator claims to originally be from a parallel plane of existence that he calls an "alternate reality". SCP-093 ("Red Sea Object") is capable of transferring people to an alternate world using mirrors. This world is mostly a wasteland filled with futuristic technology and giant humanoid monsters that attack and absorb any living things they see. Explorers from our universe find a journal of an SCP agent from a third universe that details what happened here. The world the object connects to was visited by an incredibly powerful god-like being only named He, who arrived during the Industrial Revolution and declared the world to be unclean. He instigated a massive Tech Boom for a war to purge the world of sin. This left the world in ruins and the survivors became the giant abominations, mutated thanks to exposure to a pure form of a substance called His Tears, which was apparently supposed to free them from sin. Not only that but there are numerous copies of the Red Sea Object that are all linked to other universes, and there's a possibility that He could use the Object copies to travel to any of them... including ours. SCP-507 ("Reluctant Dimension Hopper" is a man who randomly and involuntarily gets sent to various ones, which The Foundation keeps a log of. SCP-970 ("The Recursive Room"). Anyone who passes through all of the doors in SCP-970 and ends up in their original location will actually be in a slightly different universe. Each time they pass through SCP-970 the universe will change a little more, until things get really strange. SCP-1142 ("A Cry for Help"). SCP-1142 is a radio receiver that broadcasts transmissions from an alternate Earth where the Nazis summoned an Eldritch Abomination that is threatening to destroy their world. SCP-1739 ("Obsolete Laptop"). SCP-1739 turns an Eldritch Abomination into a Sealed Evil in a Can by creating one of these. The Abomination is distracted by being allowed to destroy the new universe, keeping it from destroying the universe it's in. SCP-2069 ("AEGIS") is a collection of debris that was blasted into the Foundation's universe. It was the aftermath of when AEGIS (a team up between the Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition) used a doomsday device called NOVA as a last-ditch attempt to stop an Alien Invasion. SCP-2273 ("Major Alexei Belitrov, of the Red Army's 22nd Armored Infantry Division"). SCP-2273 is a soldier from another universe where the U.S. and U.S.S.R. got into a nuclear war. SCP-2332 ("Thought Messenger") is a butterfly made of ultraviolet light that was originally created and sent out by another universe's version of the Foundation. It ended up in this universe by accident. SCP-2451 ("Love Through Time, Space and Species"). SCP-2451 is a doorway to a series of other universes, some of which are very different from the Foundation's universe. In one the "humans" are 8 foot tall bird-like creatures with beaks the size of a human's arm. SCP-2645 ("Through the Looking Glass"). The anomalous mirror SCP-2645 has another universe accessible through its mirrored surface that is initially identical to the SCP Foundation's universe. The contents of that universe can be changed by the influence of entities in the Foundation's universe. SCP-2935 ("O, Death") is a cave underneath a cemetery, which leads to another world exactly like our own, except that all life died at the exact same instant on April 20, 2016. Corpses lay where they fell, vehicles have crashed, trees are broken, and nothing is decomposing because all microbial life is dead as well. Even SCP-682 is dead. What caused it? This world's Foundation sent someone to investigate their own 2935, and just like our world's Foundation, he too discovered a world where everything died at the exact same instant. Then he came back to his own world, and the instant he did, everything in his world died (except for him, though he took care of that himself later). The investigators from our Foundation wisely decide not to return to their own world so that the same thing won't happen to it, and send a drone back with their findings and instructions to blow up the cave and seal it off. SCP-4823 ("The Whole World Has Gone Bananas!") is a banana that functions as a portal to an alternate universe where all life is plant-based and instead of humans, there are humanoid banana-people. Diplomatic relations between our Foundation and their Foundation were going well... until a single fruit fly accidentally hitched a ride over to Banana World with one of our guys, found the best all-you-can-eat buffet it could ever ask for, and started laying eggs. Six months later, an Apocalyptic Log was ejected through the portal, written by a French banana girl as her world was devoured by The Swarm, with the last entry stating that she is about to die as well, but is sending her journal over so that our Foundation knows exactly what they did. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: During the Third Impact Shinji is shown an alternate universe mirroring a stereotypical love comedy anime (which has since become an official Elseworld): Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days. The photonovel story Evangelion -ANIMA- was, according to Word of God, specifically created out of the desire to produce a Gundam-style Alternate Universe story. Rebuild of Evangelion is another alternate universe. |

Discworld: The Roundworld Project: Created by Hex the magic AI as an emergency dumping-ground for a thaumic overload, an orange-sized spherical universe is kept on Rincewind's desk at Unseen University. Most of the UU faculty think this narrativium-deprived alternate reality is a silly waste of time; even so, the Archchancellor occasionally (meaning, whenever a new The Science of Discworld book is published) tasks his wizards to offset interlopers' tampering with the pocket universe's history. Silly or not, it is University property. "Roundworld" is, of course, our own universe. Alternate Universe theory crops up elsewhere in Discworld, too, such as in Lords and Ladies, where Ridcully, upon being told that there's a universe somewhere where he married his childhood sweetheart, gets annoyed that he wasn't invited to the wedding: |

The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere by The Lyniezian makes use of the Shifter's ability to exist in multiple alternate universes and read the thoughts of other versions of herself (see also Web Original folder). Her home universe, though fairly mundane and boring has a continuing Imperial Japan in the news about to invade Mongolia, various Anachronism Stew elements (Radio 4 is still the BBC Home Service despite being otherwise identical to Real Life; Jenny listens to music on what may or may not be 8-track cartridges, but other girls at school obsess over boy bands and reality TV), and, of course, there are the obligatory zeppelins. This Jenny, a bored schoolgirl with an overbearing mother, would rather be dreaming of excitement in some more Adventure-Friendly World or other- then gets her wish when she discovers her shifting power. | |

Sentinels of the Multiverse, as the name implies, features several alternate universes both shown in the game itself and in its background lore. This includes such universes as the Iron Legacy Timeline where all around Boy Scout Legacy goes totalitarian after his nemesis kills his daughter, The Inverse-verse where heroes are bad guys and villains are good guys, the Xtreme-verse where everything is XTREME(!), the Animal Verse where everyone is an animal except for Plague Rat who is instead Plague Man (this one in particular originated as a joke after Christopher and Adam, the game's creators, accidentally referred to the character Sergeant Steel as Sargent Seal), and many, many others. | |

The website gets its name from Sean Connery's line "You're the man now, dog!" in the movie Finding Forrester. One user created a YTMND of the full scene containing the line, which also included Connery saying "Punch the keys for God's sake!" This inspired the creation of an alternate universe where the site's creator chose that line to make his site around instead of "You're the man now, dog!". PTKFGS had slightly different versions of YTMND's fads, such as "omg, internet" instead of "lol, internet", "R U SHUR?" instead of "O RLY?", etc. These sites had a blue PTKFGS watermark in the upper right corner to contrast YTMND's orange watermark in the upper left. This eventually snowballed into the creation of a third universe, YESYES, named after Connery's exclamation of "Yes! Yes!" in the same scene from Finding Forrester. YESYES sites had a green watermark in the bottom right corner. Multiple attempts were made to create a "fourth corner" universe, but nobody could agree on what to definitively call it since Connery didn't have any more lines in that scene. Proposed suggestions included "HEH" (Connery lets out a small chuckle during that scene), "Typing Noises" (another character can be heard typing on a typewriter during that scene), and "YHTMOAG" ("You have the manners of a goat", a Connery line from Highlander). Eventually one user created a YTMND establishing lore that the fourth corner was in fact a multiverse containing all proposed suggestions. | |

TORG: It features several different dimensions/realities, each corresponding to a different genre (such as Aysle, a traditional world of Medieval European Fantasy; the Cyberpapacy, a Cyberpunk world run by a Corrupt Church; the Space Opera-influenced dimension of the Space Gods; Orrorsh, a Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror Story in a Heart of Darkness style British colonial jungle setting; the Nile Empire, a world of Pulp Action Adventure; the Living Land, with sentient dinosaurs; and others), all cooperating to invade Earth. Part of what makes TORG such an interesting game is that it's based on distinctly different rules for how reality works, depending on the context of the home dimension. First edition's Nile Empire, for example, had no room for moral ambiguities: every character was either Good or Evil, though they could change from one to the other under the right circumstances. Characters can engage in literal 'reality duels' with opponents from different dimensions, and the High Lords can do the same with entire areas of real estate. |

Before they can get to the 2nd light, Him sends them off-course by transporting them into the universe of The Powerpuff Girls (1998), where the PPG can be seen fighting the Giant Balloon Fish in Townsville.

Space☆Dandy plays with this trope a lot. Each episode of the series is arguably set in a different universe as many of them end with the characters dying, becoming zombies or even micro-organisms, only for them to be perfectly fine the next episode. The series also ends with Dandy rejecting the Narrator's offer of Godhood, which causes the universe to reset itself to the very first episode...though things appear to be slightly different this time round. One episode features Dandy, Meow and QT actually meeting different alternate versions of themselves, including a space trucker Dandy, a guy in a pink suit who thinks he's a robot (QT's alternate self) and a scary cyborg Meow. |

The Official Doujin spinoff of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War eventually becomes a collection of AUs instead of the initial Hotter and Sexier premise. There are The Little Mermaid AU, Cinderella AU, an all-girls school AU, and so on. The most well-known one is the Kindergarten AU, where Shirogane and Hayasaka are kindergarten teachers and the others as their students. It also has Hayasaka becoming Shirogane's love interest in this universe instead of Kaguya. | |

Each of the main Danganronpa entries has an extra mode (School Mode in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Island Mode in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Dangan Salmon Team in Danganronpa V3), all of which could be considered alternate universes where the killing games never happened. Danganronpa V3 also has an unlockable game titled Ultimate Talent Development Plan which could count as yet another alternate universe, where the rosters from all three novels attend Hope's Peak Academy during the same period and the Monokubs take over as the school's headmasters. | |

In the fourth Haruhi Suzumiya novel, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kyon suddenly finds himself in a world without supernatural powers, with the SOS members remain leading normal, human lives, and where Haruhi went to a different high school. It is, however, quite important to the plot that it actually was not an alternate universe, the one he has always been at had been rebuilt. This universe is further explored in the manga spinoff The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan. | |

Kaeloo: The episode "Let's Play Astronauts" had the main four go to an alternate universe through a black hole in space. There, Kaeloo's transformation works in reverse, Quack Quack and Mr. Cat (known as Meow Meow and Mr. Duck) had each other's personalities and traits, and Stumpy was a genius who loved physics and hated comic books. It turns out Stumpy dreamed this all up. In Episode 70, the main four meet themselves from another dimension where the concept of life is "Let's Learn..." instead of "Let's Play...". Alternate Universe!Kaeloo's transformation takes place in reverse, and instead of being sweet and gentle, she's strict and somewhat abusive. Alternate Universe!Stumpy is intelligent instead of being The Ditz, and Alternate!Universe Mr. Cat is a quiet idiot who eats books instead of an extremely intelligent but Ax-Crazy psychopath who goes around destroying stuff. |

Zigzagged in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V which has The Multiverse and inter dimensional travel as a major plot point, but each dimension is an Alternate Universe version of a previous setting in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise (though there's no direct communication between these dimensions and the settings they serve as counterparts to). After The Reveal it turns out this trope is either invoked or averted, depending on your point of view. | |

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: While the actual Ultimate Marvel universe until Ultimatum very much reflected reality like the classic Marvel Universe did, the film uses the Spider-Verse concept to take the idea of Miles Morales coming from an alternate reality even further; for example, New York police cars are labeled with "PDNY" rather than "NYPD", Bland Name Products abound (with "Koca-Soda" instead of Coca-Cola and "RedEx" instead of "FedEx"), Shaun of the Dead became an actual franchise, and Miles doesn't know what Comic-Con is when Peter quips about it. This is cemented by Peter Parker's own universe having a Coca-Cola neon sign and the traditional "NYPD" abbreviation on a police car. | |

Danganronpa: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF takes place in a "What if?" version where Naegi finds a switch to escape the school before any of the students can attempt a murder. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony takes place in an alternate universe where the Danganronpa franchise is a popular series of video games and anime. So popular, in fact, that it became a reality TV show where high school students willingly sign up to take part in real killing games where they are mind-wiped and implanted with the fabricated personalities and backstories of Danganronpa characters as a form of Enforced Method Acting. It's mentioned that world peace has been achieved and there are no wars or conflict anymore, so watching Danganronpa is now the only way for humanity to satisfy its lust for violence. Each of the main Danganronpa entries has an extra mode (School Mode in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Island Mode in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Dangan Salmon Team in Danganronpa V3), all of which could be considered alternate universes where the killing games never happened. Danganronpa V3 also has an unlockable game titled Ultimate Talent Development Plan which could count as yet another alternate universe, where the rosters from all three novels attend Hope's Peak Academy during the same period and the Monokubs take over as the school's headmasters. |

The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick contains an alternate 1960s California controlled by the Japanese after a defeat of the allies during WWII. There is mention of another alternate reality, apparently revealed to an au ctthor who writes a book about such an alternate in which the US does not lose WWII. This is slowly revealed not to be "our" alternate, but one dreamed up by the writer, and of no special significance. The book was written using the I-Ching as a guide to the character's actions. | |

The One is a cross between this and Conservation of Ninjutsu. The villain is traveling around to the various universes killing all the alternate versions of himself so he'll have all the power that would otherwise be spread out between them.

Futurama: In "The Farnsworth Parabox", Farnsworth creates a box leading to an alternate universe where every coin toss has the opposite outcome. There are also lots of other boxes, leading to other alternate universes, each linking to each other. In "I Dated a Robot", Fry goes to the edge of the universe and sees alternate versions of himself and his friends, all wearing cowboy hats. In "The Beast with a Billion Backs", a portal opens to an alternate universe, home to only one sentient being: Yivo, the infinitely huge, love-lorn ball of tentacles. In "The Late Phillip J. Fry", after Farnsworth, Bender, and Fry have reached the end of the universe, a second Big Bang creates a universe identical to the last, giving the trio a chance to go home. And giving Farnsworth a chance to shoot Hitler. And once they reach their time, Farnsworth accidentally slips on the controls, forcing them to go all the way back around again. This time around, Farnsworth misses Hitler and hits Eleanor Roosevelt instead. In "The Lesser of Two Evils", the sign which says "Tonight: MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT" a moment later turns into "Tomorrow: MISS PARALLEL UNIVERSE PAGEANT". In "That's Lobstertainment!", there is a Parallel Universal Studios side-by-side with the Universal Studios. |

Code Geass, like K, has an Idol AU, featuring the characters as idol groups, instead of militaries. The groups are Code Black, a goth/punk band consisting of Lelouch, C.C., Kallen, and Shirley (with animal ears); Royal Rouge Rounds (or RRR), an idol group featuring either Euphemia, Suzaku, Cornelia, Gino, Anya, and Jeremiah, or Cornelia, Euphemia, Suzaku, and Lelouch; and Princess Peach, featuring Kaguya, Nunnally, and Lihua. Several figure sets have been made from this AU, and an album is (supposedly) on the way. | |

Tsukipro - a fictional talent agency representing various artists, mostly boy bands. Their main releases are music singles, accompanied by audio dramas about their daily lives, stories which continue on the official twitter accounts and in the various anime adaptations. Normally, it would stop there, but not this time. This series makes good use of its Universal-Adaptor Cast, and AU stories have been made turning them into youkai, military officers in space, angels and demons, rabbit royals, and more. It helps that in canon, one of the idols is a demon king. Or maybe it doesn't... | |

Hatoful Boyfriend has at least two alternate universes (that we know of) compared to the one the game takes place in. The first is the universe that the upcoming sequel Hatoful Boyfriend: MIRROR takes place in, where the main protagonist's parents are alive (and the Heartful Home incident never happened, preventing the chain of events that lead to Nageki's death and Hitori taking Kazuaki's identity, meaning both Nageki and the real Kazuaki are alive). The second is the world of the book Absolute Zero: The Forbidden Epic of Fallen Angels, which is the alternate universe that's mainly seen as Anghel's fantasy world, yet is actually a real parallel dimension (indicated by things that Anghel very obviously should not know about being present in the book, such as "Kazuaki" being Hitori's impersonation of the real Kazuaki and Shuu knowing Ryouta's father when they were younger) and it's implied that Anghel is some sort of Reality Warper capable of temporarily merging that dimension with the one he's actually in. | |

The LEGO Movie: The LEGO World is this to the Real World. While the events of the film and actions of the protagonists seem to be heavily influenced by Finn's actions at his father's LEGO set, Emmet still possesses his own thoughts when he falls into the Real World, and even wills himself to move at one point, independent of Finn or his father. The two worlds are separate, but apparently run parallel to each other, with whatever happens in the Real World affecting what happens in the LEGO world. The inverse also appears to be true, as Finn's father realizes his son's work when Emmet points it out to President Business. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure eventually starts dealing with these: The climax of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean involves Pucci's Made in Heaven causing the universe to reset and remade in his own image; however, his plans are ultimately foiled before he can finish the job, resulting in a restored version of the original universe that features alternate versions of all the characters he killed. The only one not affected was Emporio, the kid who killed him. From JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run onward, each Part takes place in an alternate universe with parallels to the previous timeline. Word of God has gone on record saying the universe of Steel Ball Run and JoJolion is an entirely separate, unrelated universe with a new continuity that merely pays homage to the original story. The Big Bad of Steel Ball Run has a Stand based around weaponizing a similar concept. He could escape death by pulling an identical version of himself from another universe to replace him, and could also force others to come into contact with their doppelgangers, and thus be obliterated. The other universes are almost identical, with the sole prominent difference being the lack of the Holy Corpse in all but the main universe. |

Armadillo Fists exists in a multiverse, where travel between realities is commonplace enough that people hold "dop conventions" where they meet with all the other versions of themselves. This can be an unpleasant experience, though - main character June learns that almost every other version of her is male, while villain Rape Face discovers that there isn't a single universe where he became something better than a petty asshole criminal. | |

Fairy Tail As the story was written by Hiro Mashima, who already had experience with this with Rave Master, it only made sense for it to have one of these as well, in the form of Edolas, a world where magic power is scarce and slowly dying out, with the populace unable to use magic themselves but capable of storing it into tools and weapons and have resorted to using a special spell to siphon magic energy from Earthland. It makes for an interesting plot twist, and despite its relative lack of plot significance, it doesn't feel tacked on at all. Although it does explain a good few things, like Happy and Carla's origin, and why Jellal and Mystogan look identical to one another. In Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, alongside a surprise return to Edolas, it's revealed there are other dimensions connected to Earth-land that aren't usually capable of being reached. One such Alternate Universe is Elentir, the Transcendent Magic World, where magic power flows in such an abundance it actually threatens to erupt and destroy it in a cataclysm without the aid of an order of priests that use White-Out Magic to pacify the land's magical energy. It is the home of both another Exceed named Touka and the White Mage/Faris, the latter of whom used the former to come to Earthland as part of a scheme to save her world from the Moon Dragon God Selene. |

Survival of the Fittest: It has had several small-scale AU RP's. These range from simple What-If scenarios (What If the students had been rescued on Day 3, What If SOTF really was a TV show, etc) to radically different concepts such as Mech SOTF and SOTF with zombies. In 2010, a spin-off site effectively dedicated to Alternate Universe versions of Survival of the Fittest was created, with the pilot in an interesting Continuity Nod, being an alternate version of Battle Royale, the concept which SOTF was based off. While the Battle Royale AU was left unfinished, several other A Us have been established and seen multiple versions. A list can be found here. |

The Dark Tower books by Stephen King : Mid-World is a strange collision of Scavenger World, After the End, and Weird West with some trace elements of Steampunk to boot. It exists "next" to our world on the Tower, and shares some overlap, such as the existence of "Hey Jude" as a type of ancient campfire song, the presence of an Amoco gas pump, and a mysterious race of Precursors who had knowledge of and access to our world. This is without mentioning the endless levels of the Tower which make up different versions of our world and Mid-World. See The Multiverse page for that. | |

Feather Adventures: There are several alternate versions of the titular world which are only accessible by portals during special occasions or episodes. The first known one is only accessible on Halloween. The alternate Sqaishey is called 'Sqoshey', the entire world has a much darker atmosphere, mobs like spiders and phantoms are friendly while cows and horses are hostile, and all the pets are bunnies. Another example occurs in Episode 336, "Let It Snow!", where an alternate Sqaishey named 'Sqlushey' appears through a portal. Sqlushey looks like a snowman version of Sqaishey and they leave a trail of snow wherever they go, and appears to have some control over ice and snow. They have also been featured in later Christmas Episodes. A third one appears in Episode 344, "A Polluted World", where the place looks almost normal at first glance (though a bit darker and less cheery) and houses the green 'Sporshey', who spends a lot of their time clearing out rubbish and smog clouds and shifts between bright and greyish shades of green depending on the level of pollution of the land. The land becomes a lot brighter and more colourful when the rubbish and smog are cleared out, and once more trees and flowers are planted around. Fittingly, the episode where Sporshey is introduced is released on Earth Day 2022 and has a Green Aesop. A fourth one makes its debut in Episode 377, "The Water Mystery!!", which is home to the light blue 'Sploshey'. The world itself resembles a dried-up, desert version of Feather Adventures with only tiny pockets of water, and is filled with bleached coral and dead plant life. Once Sploshey recovers their stolen trident, they are able to restore their world to a stormy but lush world of prismarine, sandstone, and bright and healthy coral. The episode also introduces Sqorchey, a fiery, red version of Sqaishey who turns out to be the real culprit of the trident theft. |

Dumbing of Age is an alternate universe to Shortpacked! and the other series in David Willis' Walkyverse. It reboots the story by placing it back in college (most of the Walky cast graduated from college in 2001) removing the science fiction elements completely, and using a Sliding Timescale so the characters will never graduate. Shortpacked! continued to run until 2015, and Willis had since started reposting the Walkyverse here with commentary. | |

A two-parter in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon has Ash and Pikachu sent to an alternate universe version of Melemele where pollution and attacks by Guzzlord have devastated the now-abandoned island. They team up with the lone survivor to force the Guzzlord back to its home dimension before they are returned to their home universe. Another two-parter in Pokémon Journeys: The Series revolves around a Bizarro Universe in which Ash is a weak-willed Shrinking Violet like in the XY mirror universe while Goh & Chloe are Hot-Blooded, and the Team Rocket trio is high-ranked and competent enough to have mooks of their own. The story revolves around their efforts to Save Both Worlds from Alternate!Team Rocket's Rage Against the Heavens plot. |

The main plot behind Little Busters! can be described as this. At first you don't realize because you're playing like any other DSIM, but at each playthrough the two main characters evolve a little (better seen on their status screens) and little things change from one playthrough to the other. It's only when you complete the Rin route for the second time, after playing through all the other five routes that it's revealed that the world they live in is actually an alternate universe created for the two main characters by the other eight, in order to help them cope with what happened in the real world. | |

Planebreaker: The Planes of Mirror and Shadow refers to parallel worlds of the Material Plane. If a character finds themselves the focus of a trip into the Congruent Corridor, the alternate world first observed should look almost exactly like their world of origin, except for at least one thing that might or might not be easy to notice. As the character moves along the Congruent Corridor, the alternate worlds remain roughly similar, but more and more different additions and subtractions build up with each new window. | |

YTMND: The website gets its name from Sean Connery's line "You're the man now, dog!" in the movie Finding Forrester. One user created a YTMND of the full scene containing the line, which also included Connery saying "Punch the keys for God's sake!" This inspired the creation of an alternate universe where the site's creator chose that line to make his site around instead of "You're the man now, dog!". PTKFGS had slightly different versions of YTMND's fads, such as "omg, internet" instead of "lol, internet", "R U SHUR?" instead of "O RLY?", etc. These sites had a blue PTKFGS watermark in the upper right corner to contrast YTMND's orange watermark in the upper left. This eventually snowballed into the creation of a third universe, YESYES, named after Connery's exclamation of "Yes! Yes!" in the same scene from Finding Forrester. YESYES sites had a green watermark in the bottom right corner. Multiple attempts were made to create a "fourth corner" universe, but nobody could agree on what to definitively call it since Connery didn't have any more lines in that scene. Proposed suggestions included "HEH" (Connery lets out a small chuckle during that scene), "Typing Noises" (another character can be heard typing on a typewriter during that scene), and "YHTMOAG" ("You have the manners of a goat", a Connery line from Highlander). Eventually one user created a YTMND establishing lore that the fourth corner was in fact a multiverse containing all proposed suggestions. There were other AU memes on the site beyond the traditional "corners", such as "GAYTMND" (Camp Gay and often set to "Shut Up (and Sleep With Me)"), "CRAPTMND", "LOUDTMND", and "Violin" (which involved edits of other sites to have classical music and pictures of violins pasted into them, and being perpetuated as a Forced Meme on the front page by a user's repeated donations). |

The Roundworld Project: Created by Hex the magic AI as an emergency dumping-ground for a thaumic overload, an orange-sized spherical universe is kept on Rincewind's desk at Unseen University. Most of the UU faculty think this narrativium-deprived alternate reality is a silly waste of time; even so, the Archchancellor occasionally (meaning, whenever a new The Science of Discworld book is published) tasks his wizards to offset interlopers' tampering with the pocket universe's history. Silly or not, it is University property. "Roundworld" is, of course, our own universe. | |

GURPS Infinite Worlds setting. It involves the PCs as agents travelling through alternate universes. Officially all GURPS settings are universes within the Infinite Worlds. This includes assorted Alternate Histories (GURPS Technomancer, GURPS Reign of Steel), several universes where All Myths Are True (GURPS Camelot, GURPS Atlantis), multiple worlds with superheroes (GURPS Supers, GURPS International Super Teams), and even universes inexplicably modeled on the popular fiction of the baseline universe (GURPS Conan, GURPS Discworld)! The enemy timeline is Centrum, a scientific state that wants what is best for all, and for this to continue (discovering where this one branched off is a surprise)... others in the Alternate Worlds books have included Gernsback (named for the Golden Age SF editor), where Nikola Tesla's inventions shaped the development of science; Excalli, where the dominant empire is an Aztec-derived one; Roma Aeterna, where the Empire of Rome simply carried on, with the adoption of science; an alternate where China continued to trade overseas; and several versions of the usual "Nazis triumphant" parallel. Oh, and the United States of Lizardia, where dinosaurs evolved into sentient beings but somehow ended up recapitulating human history along the way. |

In Rough Draft, the protagonist finds himself the customs officer of an Inn Between the Worlds with access to a number of parallel worlds. Some of these are explored in greater detail than others: Earth 1 (Arkan): A universe 35 years behind Earth 2 from a technological and historical viewpoint, although some areas of technology here are superior to Earth 2. Earth 2 (Demos): Our world. One of the most technologically advanced known worlds. Nicknamed "Demos" for the prevalence of democracy. Earth 3 (Veroz): A world without nation-states or oil, so Steampunk is common. City-states can be found across the world, frequently in the same locations as on Earth 2 but with different names. Australia hasn't been explored or settled. Seas are full of dangerous creatures, such as krakens. One of the more fleshed out worlds in the novel. Earth 4 (Antik): A world stuck at the Classical stage of development with an "evolved" form of slavery (e.g. slaves can be richer than their owners and can rebel twice a year). Earth 5: Humans have a spring mating season and are at the 50s-60s level of development. Earth 8 (Firmament): A world dominated by the Catholic Church, stuck in Medieval Stasis with the exception of advanced bio-engineering. The Cardinals run the Church (no Pope) and are protected by female Swiss Guards with killer Yorkshire terriers, razor-sharp halberds, and flying gargoyles. Earth 14 (Janus): A planet with harsh winters and scorching summers. Spring is the only (barely) tolerable season. There is no moon and no magnetic fields. Initially appears lifeless, but one character insists that some human and animal life survives by migrating with the spring. Earth 16: It appears to be Earth stuck at the primordial stage with unceasing volcanic activity and radiation. It's later revealed that it's an After the End world that is the homeworld of the Functionals. Human and animal life survives on a single island. Earth 18 (Preserve): A pristine world with no humans. Frequently treated as a resort place, provided the visitors clean up after themselves. Earth 22 (Nirvana): A world with no animal life. Filled with plants that produce spores that trigger a narcotic effect. Used as a prison of sorts, since all people dumped here are permanently stuck in a drugged stupor. Taking someone out results in a lengthy withdrawal period. Earth 46: A technologically-advanced world, whose people have successfully resisted an inter-dimensional invasion. They practice Brain Uploading and "preserve" their dead by copying their minds into robots. They have used their advanced quantum physics knowledge to seal off their world from the rest permanently. |

The Shadowhunter Chronicles has an unknown amount of alternate universes. Four have been introduced so far. The first is Edom, introduced in the latter half of City of Heavenly Fire. It is a world where Jonathan Shadowhunter was a cocky individual who rejected working with the Downworlders in the fight against demons. As a result, the Downworlders sided with the demons, enabling the latter to kill all Shadowhunters in the world. The demons subsequently ate everything else, turning the entire Earth into a wasteland. The sea is drained and the sun is obscured by gray clouds. There are no living things, except for demons who scavenge for food. Edom is now ruled by the demons Lilith and Asmodeus. The second is Thule, introduced in the second act of Queen of Air and Darkness. It is a world where Clary Fairchild was killed during the Battle of the Burren in the year 2007, as depicted in City of Lost Souls. As a result, the Shadowhunters lost their primary champion in the fight against Sebastian Morgenstern and his army, who then spread a demonic plague called Blight that served as portals for demons to take over, turning the Earth into a wasteland, much like Edom. However, because the point of divergence with the main world is much more recent compared to Edom, Thule still has Shadowhunters and Downworlders, although the former have lost all of their angelic powers. The third is an unnamed realm ruled by Belial, which appears in Chain Of Gold. It used to belong to Belphegor until Belial took it. The realm is made of a desert environment that is devoid of color. There is also a ruined civilization that looks similar to London. The realm is destroyed when Cordelia incapacitates Belial using Cortana. The fourth is Diyu, based on the Chinese afterlife of the same name, which appears in The Lost Book Of The White. It was ruled by a Greater Demon, Yanluo, until he was killed. It used to be the place where the wicked were tortured, but after Yanluo's death it has fallen to disarray and is currently inhabited by wandering demons. Sammael has plans to take over it. |

In Dragonlance, Raistlin succeeds in becoming a god and killing every other god as well as all life in Krynn. Then Caramon time travels back to prevent him from succeeding. The Alternate Universe part comes from the suggestion that there are universes where Caramon didn't succeed. |

Greyhawk exists in a Multiverse (along with Dragonlance and the Forgotten Realms), but it's not made up of alternate universes.
