A scene that takes place somewhere else than where the main characters are. Usually used to cut to villains or other plot-important characters to show what they're doing, in order to build up Foreshadowing and drama. Beware of Cryptic Conversations often done by the Omniscient Council of Vagueness. Often used as part of the Third Line. Differs from Meanwhile, Back at the… because the transition only happens for one scene, rather than cutting to another plot thread or viewpoint. |

Happens often in the Fire Emblem series, usually showing the Big Bad and their top enforcers discussing what to do next. In several cases, this conveys information to the audience that the characters won't find out until much later. | |

In episode 7 of Kotoura-san, Haruka haven't been able to contact Manabe and asked Yuriko and Dai'chi for assistance. Yuriko thought he might have been having sex with Hiyori, but Dai'chi disagreed, saying she's still still struggling for her summer assignments. The scene then cut to the Moritani dojo and we see Hiyori's desk was moved to the middle of the hall, being surrounded by trainers. | |

Skullkickers. After Shorty dies in a shipwreck a number of the following pages show the focus characters going about the main plot - but the last panel on each page cuts back to Shorty's corpse floating in the ocean. | |

Godslave has some: When Turner starts to throw Edith around like a rag doll, we cut to the lawn in front of the museum to see the police standing in front of it, held back by the masquerade. Chapter 2 opens with a few pages showing Oziris and Heru having a Cryptic Conversation in Duat. |

A slightly different flavor in the first two installments of Paper Mario, where you actually control the character the scenes revolve around (in both cases Peach) instead of a cutscene. Played straight in Super Paper Mario, with cutscenes of Count Bleck and his minions. | |

This trope is actually a game mechanic in Final Fantasy IX, where you can see what other party members or even NPCs are doing by looking at "Active Time Events". A few of them can grant items, but most of them are just for fun. Some are mandatory, but most aren't. | |

One Piece has an interesting variation of this in the manga. Instead of jumping during the story, each cover for each chapter (besides the one with Non Sequitur) develops a mini-story exploring what happened to characters from a previous arc. | |

Paradoxus: Right as Bloom is starting her journey to Silvermoon with Sylvanas and Galadwen in the fourth chapter, the narration cuts to Queen Daphne and Sky interrogating Yoshinoya, whom they suspect of kidnapping Bloom. After he proves too stubborn to tell the truth (or, well, too surprisingly innocent of the deed to know what's going on), Daphne executes him. She comforts herself and Sky by adding that, if Bloom had died, the Flame would have returned to her or gone to baby Altalune. | |

Dhux's Scar also does this a lot, usually to Maikas or Halbarad. Lampshaded if you open the game with RPG Maker, where all the Maikas scenes are named "More Maikas", "Even More Maikas", etc., finally culminating in a map named "Nowthisistoomuch". | |

Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] has scenes between every level that shows what the supporting cast is up to, usually Yen Sid, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. Kingdom Hearts III follows suit, with cutscenes after each of Sora's adventures showing either Riku and Mickey's journey or the machinations of Organization XIII. | |
