When a bonus episode is included with the DVD release of a series, beyond simple Bonus Material. This is most common with anime, where many shows (especially 12-Episode Anime) will have a bonus OVA episode or two released as part of the home release. Thanks to the lack of broadcasting standards needed for these, you can expect them to be of a loosely canonical, fanservicey nature benefitting from not having to deal with broadcast standards. In effect, an intentional Missing Episode. Outside of anime, the bonus episode is usually a case of Early-Bird Release, wherein the episode simply premiered on home media a few months ahead of its television debut, though situations where a program never got to complete its television run and thus has its unaired episodes only made available this way is also common. A Banned Episode can also sometimes end up being released exclusively on DVD. |

The Collector's Edition Blu-Ray bonus disc for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain includes a "special episode" — Mission 51, a.k.a. "Kingdom of the Flies". The "episode" in question addresses what happened to Eli after he flew off with Sahelanthropus — he recruits a cabal of child soldiers and takes up residence on a private island, and Snake destroys the mech once again before leaving Eli to die before napalming the island. Eli is rescued by Tretij Rebenok/Mantis and pledges to fight Snake in the future. Interestingly, the episode wasn't completed — it was unfinished due to its Troubled Production, and exists in a state of incomplete animatics, concept art and voiceovers. | |

The Simpsons had its first seventeen seasons and its twentieth season made available on home media before production of further season boxsets ceased in order to focus on making the show available on streaming services. However, two episodes that aren't part of those seasons escaped this fate due to the virtue of this trope — Season 23's "Holidays of Future Passed" can be found on the Season 16 Blu-Ray, while Season 25's "The Man Who Grew Too Much" can be found on the Season 17 Blu-Ray. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) had a DVD release whose main attraction was the final arc with the Shredder and the third season finale. It was released at least a month before the beginning of the fourth season, and included three episodes from the next season well before their network premiere. Later the entire second half of the Fast Forward season was released on DVD, two months before its premiere. Finally, the infamous "Insane in the Membrane" was never aired, but was included in a DVD that contained the bulk of the fourth season. | |

The DVD release of Lilo & Stitch: The Series's finale film Leroy & Stitch contains the then unaired episode "Link" as a bonus feature. It aired as the final episode of the show the following month. This instance is also notable as this episode is one of only five episodes that were legally released for home video in the United States, and it is also the only one that is still available to purchase in the franchise's home country to this day, although this is now negated by the whole show being available on Disney+. | |

The DVD of Wonderfalls mostly consisted of unaired episodes as the series was cancelled after only four broadcasts. Most of the remaining episodes were still in various stages of post-production and the SFX hadn't been completed when the series was scrapped. Workprints and versions or unaired episodes with incomplete SFX (low-resolution renders or wireframe-only) leaked onto the Internet where enough demand for a DVD release finally got someone to cough up the money to finish the post-production. | |

The first season of Dollhouse was originally signed to thirteen episodes for the broadcast run as well as the DVD set. However, this included the pilot episode, which FOX decided was too confusing and didn't get into the action quickly enough, and so they didn't run it. Therefore, the episode count for the broadcast run was reduced to 12. However, delivering just twelve episodes would violate the contract they had with the company putting out the DVDs, so a stand-alone thirteenth episode was created strictly for the DVD. As a result, the DVD set has fourteen episodes: the twelve episodes broadcast, the stand-alone thirteenth, and the original unaired pilot. | |

When Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was originally released in Japan on the Game Boy Advance, it only had four cases. Two games later, the trilogy was ported to the Nintendo DS then localized, and the first game received an extra case titled Rise from the Ashes. Because it was written after the first three games were released, it contains several hidden references to the later games. | |

Though it is a manga, rather than an anime, Pretty Face took this to extremes in its final bonus issue. The dramatic climax had come and gone, and even though this opened up one previously absent (but vital) character to the possibility of epilogue development, it still managed to locate the epilogue at a Hot Spring. This was used to display nude females in unprecedented numbers, whereas previously there had been very little uncensored nudity (despite plenty of other types of semi-harmless Fanservice). | |

Many Rugrats VHS releases from the mid-90s and early 2000s included episodes months (and in the case of "Dil We Meet Again", two years) before they would debut on TV (some of the VHS promos even had tiny legalese referring to how the exclusive episodes would only air on TV after the video had been released). Dr. Tommy Pickles contained "Hiccups", "Autumn Leaves" and "Grandpa's Bad Bug", Angelica Knows Best contained "Word of the Day", and Make Room For Dil contained "Dil We Meet Again" and "Big Babies". Other tapes would include (at the time) unaired episodes as the main feature and the previously aired episodes as bonuses. A Rugrats Vacation included "Vacation", A Rugrats Thanksgiving included "The Turkey Who Came To Dinner". Runway Reptar included the titular special, I Think I Like You included "Be My Valentine", Discover America included the titular episode, Kwanzaa included "A Rugrats Kwanzaa", Easter contained "Bow Wow Wedding Vows", Halloween contained "Curse Of The Werewuff", Christmas contained "Babies In Toyland", and Mysteries contained "Murmur On The Ornery Express". |

The last episode of Generator Rex aired was "Rock My World", which doesn't really have anything to do with the overall plot and just happened to be aired out of order. However, it seems that the producers realized it would be the very last episode instead of "End Game" and threw in an Animation Bump, Awesome Music original to that episode, some light Fanservice by bringing back Holiday's little sister, and crafted the plot to be just 22 minutes of Rex being awesome to let the series end on a high note. | |

The makers of Tom Goes to the Mayor consider the 30th episode to be like a bonus episode, as both episode 29, which ends with Tom curled into the fetal position on the Mayor's floor, and episode 30, which ends with Tom and the Mayor soaring off into the skies on a motor scooter, are both fitting ends to the series in their own way. | |

Jewelpet Twinkle☆'s 53rd episode is a 28 minute long OVA with new opening and ending sequences which are included in the Blu-ray box set release of the series. It's centered around the adaptation of a character, previously residing in Jewel Land, to the human world, and so it's less humorous and more of a character study than most other examples on this list. | |

One of them is episode 12.5, which features a wacky mix of red bags (and Mikado's group in a pretty ridiculous situation); while chapter 25 includes a full battle between Izaya and Shizuo. (Mikado and Anri end up in a pretty awkward situation, and Celty is chased once again by the cops.) | |
