So you're a film or TV show producer or the author of a book series, or the team behind a comic book, and you have a problem. You want a character out of the story, but you don't want to kill them off, you're not going to just flat out ignore them, and you certainly wouldn't have them just disappear for no reason and with no mention of it. However, there is a situation in which a character can be written out of a series in such a way that they can easily be returned later, if the creators so choose. They are Put on a Bus. A staple of the Prime Time Soap and particularly Soap Opera where casts are large and actor turnover is frequent. Conveniently, when such a character is brought back and now played by a different actor, it can be a case of Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome or The Other Darrin. Often a case of Real Life Writes the Plot, due to actors leaving a franchise for various reasons. If the actor is only leaving temporarily, with the expectation that they'll return (due to appearing in a movie, going on maternity leave, etc.) and their character is written back into the show once they do, it's The Bus Came Back. If the character doesn't leave in such a way that arranging a return would be simple, this becomes a Long Bus Trip. Should they start appearing infrequently, they're Commuting on a Bus or Out of Focus. If there's obvious malice involved in the character's departure, then they've been Put on a Bus to Hell. If the character is arrested, then they've been Put on a Prison Bus. There's also the chance of a Bus Crash or dying on the bus. The bus in question may be a Convenient Coma. Opposite of Dropped a Bridge on Him. Compare with Sequel Non-Entity (a character disappearing from the show with little-to-no explanation), Chuck Cunningham Syndrome (a character disappearing from the franchise with little-to-no explanation), What Happened to the Mouse? (where the story continues with a minor character's final fate left unknown), and Written-In Absence, for when a character disappears for only an episode or two. |

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Congressman inspecting the sub gets left behind in the chaos when Nelson leaves the conference to fire a missile at the radiation belt. At the beginning of the final act, a dozen or so crewmen don't believe in Nelson's plan and want to go home to spend their remaining time with their families instead of being hunted on a possible doomed mission. Nelson lets them go, hoping the saboteur is one of them and feeling that the journey will go faster and smoother without disloyal and reluctant subordinates. |

Wonder Woman (1987): About twenty issues in, Perez had all the Olympians (except Hermes) run off to the other end of the galaxy after Darkseid blew up Olympus. In-universe, they did this to build a new Olympus (even though they're supposedly capable of retaliating against Apokolips immediately); out-of-universe, it's pretty clear Perez did this as a Deus Exit Machina to cut down on the gods' Story-Breaker Power, until their return in War of the Gods, to the detriment of many. | |

In The Witchlands: Ryber disappears by the end of Truthwitch, with only a note explaining that she has to be gone left behind. In her case, The Bus Came Back by the end of the second book. After Merik and the plot move to the north of Nubrevna, it's mentioned that Evraine stayed behind in Noden's Gift. Gretchya tells Iseult that she's escaping to Saldonica with her student and disappears, never to be seen again, even when the plot visits the aforementioned city. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Legal matters resulted in every Echidna except Knuckles and Finitevus, as well as Charmy's girlfriend Saffron, being tossed through a warp ring by Thrash. What makes this funnier is that they disappear between issues: one issue ends with Sonic fighting Lien-Da, the next has Sonic coming to after being knocked out and finding the battlefield deserted! Earlier, Sleuth Dawg decided he was done and walked out, promising not to be seen again. In a Q&A, Ian Flynn admitted it was because he simply found him too boring a character. And before him was Dulcy the Dragon, who last appeared in #107. |

Happens a lot in Sluggy Freelance due to the sheer number of characters it's introduced over its long run. Characters very rarely stay on the bus, however. Even if it takes over a decade, it seems like every character who isn't explicitly killed off is bound to make a second appearance. Sasha, who had moved away seven years ago, made a return to the comic. | |

Karolina was put on a spaceship right after the "True Believers" arc of Runaways. To make a very long story short, she had to go back to her home planet with Xavin in order to help end a war. However, they returned before the end of that volume. This was also done to Xavin, though whether or not that bus will crash remains to be seen. |

Justice League of America: Most of the JL members added to the team under Dwayne McDuffie's tenure ended up being written out once James Robinson took over and decided he wanted to write another characters. Zatanna seemingly had an emotional breakdown and quit offscreen, Vixen took a "leave of absence" to heal from some recent injuries and then was never seen or mentioned again in that series, Green Lantern left without an explanation, and Firestorm also quit offscreen after the death of his girlfriend. Each of those characters save for Green Lantern would later return in subsequent volumes of the franchise. Ironically enough, this happened to the majority of Robinson's new characters, who quit offscreen after his first three issues. | |

Too many characters to list in The Tainted Grimoire. This is because Clan Gully and many of the people they meet do a lot of traveling. The Bus Came Back: Some characters are rather important to the story so they get A Day in the Limelight to show us what they have been up to. Either that or meet up with Clan Gully again. Commuting on a Bus: Micaiah and Francesca both have long periods of absence between their multiple re-appearances. |

Kevin & Kell has done this with several of its supporting characters over time. Candice and her family were once nearly as important to the strip as Kevin and Kell themselves, but eventually she was outsourced to New Zealand and hasn't been heard from since, barring a cameo at Lindesfarne's wedding. The Ursuls, of whom Marjorie was Kell's best friend for the early years of the strip, moved to Florida and new best friend Aby moved into their house — they've also not been seen since. Marjorie's daughter, son in law, and grandson Harcourt initially went with them, but later they came back. Lindesfarne's best friend Tammy Tussock and her husband Ray moved to a lighthouse, and while they were important to one more storyline after the move, they've only made sporadic appearances since, most recently at the early stages of Lindesfarne's pregnancy. Rudy's rival and half brother Vin Vulpin spent years constantly being an antagonist to Rudy, then in the end ran away to the Wild to escape criminal charges and hasn't been seen since, barring one cameo in which we find out he's now got a mate and three kits, and has so assimilated to the Wild that he's forgotten his name. Then again, longtime readers of Bill Holbrook's two syndicated strips should be well aware of his tendency to rotate the cast - both of those strips have managed almost a complete cast turnover, including their main characters. | |

In Spider-Man: No Way Home despite all three of them having been seemingly killed off Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy along with Jamie Foxx’s Electro from The Amazing Spiderman 2 all return as villains. An eight year bus ride for Electro and a whooping seventeen and nineteen year bus ride for Ock and Goblin respectively (discounting Norman’s cameos in Harry’s hallucinations). The Lizard and Sandman who survived their movies also return having not been seen since 2007 and 2012 respectively. As set photos and full film confirm Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield return as their respective Spider-Man(Men), a eight year bus trip for Andrew’s Peter and 14 year bus trip for Tobey’s Peter. |

Yoda, a wise sage who guided the main characters throughout The Phantom Menace to Revenge of the Sith, is absent from Episode IV, A New Hope. The Watsonian reason is due to his humiliating defeat and exile at the end of Revenge of the Sith by the evil Emperor Palpatine. The Doylist reason is due to his character not having been created yet when A New Hope was written and filmed. | |

In the X-Wing Rogue Squadron comics, Plourr Illo had an arc which showed her to be a badass expy of Anastasia, the last princess of a line that had died in revolution. She returned to her homeworld and waded into the teeth of a new revolution that was even more violent than the last. At the end of it, she chose to stay and rule her planet while the Rogues left. They left her her X-Wing and Wedge told her "You've saved your world. When you're ready, come back and save the rest of us." And she and a squadron of fighters from her homeworld did have a Big Damn Heroes moment at the end of the very next arc, and she complained about how boring politics was. But the very next issue after that had her serving full-time with the Rogues again, flying into combat and getting into fistfights. Weird. | |

Adventures in Odyssey: At this point, the only major characters who haven't been put on a bus are Connie (who first arrived in town early in the show's run and has stayed there ever since) and Wooten Basset (who likewise hasn't left town since his debut). The series' major example of this, however, would be in the central character John Avery Whittaker. When his voice actor, Hal Smith, passed away, Whit went away on a long missions trip for an extended period of time. He eventually returned (now being voiced by Paul Herlinger until he passed away, whereupon he was replaced by Andre Stojka without Whit leaving again) and hasn't left town for an extensive period of time since. | |

A Diplomatic Visit: As explained in chapter 1 of the fourth story, The Diplomat's Life, Moondancer and Trixie left on an astronomy tour shortly after Twilight and her friends got home from their trip at the end of the third story, and while they write to her, she still misses having them around. The Bus Came Back in chapter 6 though, when they return in time for Luna to give birth. | |

Supergirl: After the end of Starfire's Revenge, the titular villain's minions Rodney Marlowe and Doctor Kangle disappear completely. Villainess Lesla-Lar is apparently killed off in The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, and she is not seen again until Strangers at the Heart's Core, published fourteen years later. Both Power Girls Kara Zor-L and Tanya, became trapped in an interdimensional void between worlds. In Deathstroke Annual #1 (March 2018), Tanya tried to rescue Pre-Flashpoint Kara, who was already seemingly trapped since post-DC Rebirth, but her plan ended in disaster. 1981 storyline The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor was Lena Luthor's last in-continuity appearance until Superman: Secret Origin introduced another version of the character twenty-seven years later. Way of the World features the final appearance of Young Justice member Anita Fite "Empress" and her parents. Death & the Family was the last Post-Crisis storyline to feature Silver Banshee and Insect Queen. Supergirl's Greatest Challenge: Whizzy, descendant of Streaky the Supercat in the 30th century, makes his first appearance, helps Supergirl out, and is never seen again. |

The character of Trillian got a one-sentence send-off at the start of the second series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978). Thanks to a Reset Button, she was brought back for the three much-belated series made after Douglas Adams' death. | |

In 8-Bit Theater, Dragoon was teleported to the Moon and has not been seen since. He comes back in The Epilogue. Which is hilarious if you think about a 'Dragoon coming back from the Moon' in terms of Final Fantasy IV, the game the character's appearance came from. |

The exit of Scarecrow in Batman Begins was putting him on a bus until the director could find out if he was reusable for the next installment. He's reduced to a cameo for the Batman Cold Open in The Dark Knight, and then sent straight to jail. Then he's freed by Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, and becomes a Hanging Judge, until disappearing offscreen. | |

Vivienne gets this treatment early in the Skyhold Academy Yearbook series, as she's given a delicate excuse to leave the school and never returns. The authors admit they were just never quite sure what to do with her, given the setup. (She does come back for a visit, though, and occasionally gets mentioned by other characters, so she's not completely forgotten.) | |

Harry Potter: Aunt Marge never comes to visit again after she floats away from the Dursleys' thanks to Harry's magic accidentally going out of control. Amos Diggory, Cedric's father, wasn't seen again after Goblet of Fire. After Fudge's resignation as Minister and passing the position to Scrimgeour, we only see him again in a brief cameo at Dumbledore's funeral at the end of the sixth book. Alicia Spinnet does not appear in the sixth book since she graduated Hogwarts the previous year, although she is mentioned a couple of times. After Oliver Wood joins Puddlemere United, Harry sees him once at the Quidditch World Cup, and then they fall out of touch. |

Calvin and Hobbes: Watterson introduced Uncle Max into the strip but quickly realized he hadn't put enough thought into the character, and wasn't quite sure what to do with him. After visiting once, Max goes back home and is never seen or mentioned again.note Word of God says that another problem with Max was that his dialog was really hard to write: Watterson had a policy that Calvin's parents never be given names beyond "mom" and "dad," but this made their conversations with Max incredibly awkward. Thanks to Max, Watterson developed a personal rule that none of the supporting characters should be given outside friends or interests. | |

The now decidedly unnecessary "human characters" in Comic Shorts: Spriteoverse are removed in episode 26 possibly the least subtle way imaginable: by interrupting the comic's dialog to announce that they're going to blink out of existence.

When Geoff Johns took over Green Lantern, he started bringing back characters from the mythos. There was some fan interest in a giant canine GL named G'Nort. Johns insisted that G'Nort was dead. Then, during Blackest Night, when dead people started coming back, people asked about G'Nort... and were told that G'Nort was not coming. The implication being that G'Nort was on a bus, under a bridge which was itself on fire. Then, at the end of Wrath of the First Lantern, who shows up as part of the Big Damn Heroes moment? G'Nort. Even Guy comments that it was about time. |

This got worse starting with Phase 3 and during Phase 4, when her father Thaddeus Ross managed to get off the bus in Captain America: Civil War a whole nine years later, followed by Emil Blonksy/Abomination returning in both Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, making William Hurt and Tim Roth the only returning actors from The Incredible Hulk. And if you count Bruce Banner himself (albeit recast from Edward Norton to Mark Ruffalo), this makes Betty the only central character from TIH that has yet to make a reappearance. Even Mr. Blue/Samuel Sterns, despite becoming a Sequel Hook that ultimately became an Aborted Arc thanks to the rights issues with Universal, got some closure in The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week and is confirmed to be coming back as The Leader for Captain America: New World Order and Armor Wars. | |

In Schlock Mercenary, this happens most notably to Der Thris, who resigns to help out the police on Mahuitalotu. The author calls this practice "retiring characters", and it typically happens when people leave the Toughs or when the Toughs leave them. They usually come back with at least a follow-up arc a few years later or a bonus story. |

This means the entire supporting cast has more or less rotated thrice, with old characters occasionally coming on as cameos (after all, they haven't gone anywhere) and some coming back permanently. During the first rotation between the "Classic Series" and "Noosehead", even The Protagonist Sam vanished for like 10 months. It later turned out he was hiding in plain sight as a supporting character. Finally, after finishing the NMS Myth Arc, this rotation tendency came to its logical conclusion as Sam and Fuzzy were given this treatment. |

More than a few characters have been more or less written out over the course of Cat Tales: Clayface, Talia, Greg Brady, etc. Characters subjected to this have been known to reappear again, though, so it's hard to tell if something will stick. | |

In Star Trek: The Battle of Betazed, Lwaxana Troi features heavily. However, Mr. Homn (her valet), is strangely absent, and indeed isn't even mentioned. This despite usually appearing whenever and wherever she does (or being specifically mentioned as travelling elsewhere if not). A later novel went and transformed this into a Bus Crash; Star Trek: A Time to... revealed that he died during the initial invasion, so explaining his absence. The death is eventually shown in a short story, part of the Tales of the Dominion War anthology. | |

Avengers: Infinity War marks the return of four characters who have been absent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a while: The Collector, Red Skull, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill. The Collector however was actually an illusion created by Thanos's Reality Stone, so his "return" is debatable. | |

In The Nostalgia Critic, Ma-ti and Douchy McNitpick have both been put on a bus. Interestingly both their departures are loosely connected. Though Ask That Guy and Videogame Confessions have been so long since they were updated, one could say the same for Ask That Guy (the host) and Dominic. | |

Sonichu has a number of characters be tossed on the bus, due to the author's ever-shifting focus. Saramah Rosechu, who was supposed to be part of a big prophecy, is married off not even two issues after her appearance and the prophecy ignored; Meg-chan (aka Sailor Megtune) disappeared without a trace another two issues later; Metal Sonichu makes an appearance and is launched to the Moon, never to be seen again (he was supposed to return, but so far, no show). | |

The Dark Knight Trilogy: The exit of Scarecrow in Batman Begins was putting him on a bus until the director could find out if he was reusable for the next installment. He's reduced to a cameo for the Batman Cold Open in The Dark Knight, and then sent straight to jail. Then he's freed by Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, and becomes a Hanging Judge, until disappearing offscreen. Commissioner Gordon's entire family was put on a bus to Cleveland (explained by his wife leaving him and taking the kids with her). This conveniently removed his daughter Barbara from the story, who might have been just old enough to begin being Batgirl. |

This happens to two characters in the season one finale of Pretty Dudes as Jay and Zario literally drive off into the night in the season one finale, so Jay's absence in the second season is inferred long before it's explained. Meanwhile, the last shot of Eagle shows her coming down the stairs with a packed bag - after coming out to her husband as a lesbian - and she is never seen again. | |

Pepper Potts basically disappeared from the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Iron Man 3, and was only mentioned in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers: Age of Ultron, before Captain America: Civil War finally revealed that she had broken up with Tony. This is presumably because Gwyneth Paltrow took a break from acting after Iron Man 3 to focus on her company. She reappears in a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming, working with Tony again and accepting a marriage proposal from him when his attempt to induct Peter into the Avengers is shot down by Peter himself. She also appears at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War and stars in Avengers: Endgame | |

Subverted and played straight with different characters in The Transformers: Robots in Disguise: Wheelie, Garnak, and Hardhead are not seen for several issues despite having been semi-important characters and then in issue #5 Ironhide makes an offhand comment about Wheelie having left Cybertron. With all of this it seems as if the characters have been put on the bus. Then in very next issue we leave Cybertron and pick up with the three of them and see where they went, why they left, and what kind of adventures they're getting into right now. Played straight with Omega Supreme- he's offlined by a bomb attack very early in the series and got occasionally mentioned as being barely alive. In the series finale, he has a psychic conversation with Bumblebee to give a hint on how to defeat Unicron, then dies. |

Apart from an offhand reference to her breakup with Thor Jane Foster (and her supporting cast of Darcy and Dr. Selvig) has likewise disappeared. Sif is also absent due Jaimie Alexander having scheduling conflicts, however Kevin Feige reveals Sif was not on Asgard when Hela arrived so she survived the genocide of Asgardains at least. Eventually averted when Jane and Sif return in Thor: Love and Thunder albeit the former eventually dies at the end of the movie due to her cancer, while Darcy appears in WandaVision. Subverted in Loki Sif makes a surprise cameo in Loki’s Psychological Torment Zone where he gets a Groin Attack from her, over and over again. Although it’s technically not actually Sif, just a memory of her, the real Sif returns in Thor: Love and Thunder albeit briefly. |

In the first six books of Galaxy of Fear, Hoole is distant and irritable and doesn't relate too well to his adoptive niece and nephew, so has his droid assistant DV-9 give them lessons and do most of the interaction with them. After Army of Terror the droid finally objects to how much danger he's been taken into, so Hoole sets him free and the droid starts working somewhere safe. By that time Hoole's relationship with Tash and Zak has warmed considerably, so the droid isn't needed anymore. He does briefly appear at the end of the series, but likes the safety too much to go with them again. | |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: The Last Stand: Nightcrawler didn't appear with no explanation given. (The in-universe reason appears in the X-Men: The Official Game where Nightcrawler leaves due to the X-Men's missions clashing with his peaceful nature. The real life one was that Alan Cumming had refused to return without Bryan Singer, especially since he was not fond of the torturous makeup sessions. In one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes, he readily admits that he doesn't think he could come back and go through it again.) Originally, Nightcrawler was to appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past, but it was cut out because Singer felt there were too many mutants already. X-Men: Days of Future Past: His role in the first act concluded, Quicksilver is promptly told to go his own way, only making a brief cameo at the end at his house, away from the action. He watches the final battle on TV, despite the fact that, being Quicksilver, he could probably get there in five seconds. Moira MacTaggert, who debuted in X-Men: First Class, doesn't appear in Days of Future Past, but she returns in X-Men: Apocalypse. After that, she's absent in Dark Phoenix. |

The writers of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition put most of the Elders - arguably the game's primary looming existential threat, who had been slowly awakening and usurping control of vampiric society through 4th edition - on a bus. Quite literally. They've been called off by a mysterious phenomena called "The Beckoning" that just sounds a lot like an upscaled Summoning power out of the Presence discipline tree, and they bused the Sabbat - a bunch of them got wiped out by the new Super-Hunters of the 2nd Inquisition, some got on motorcycles chasing the Elders' bus to the Middle East in what is now called the Gehenna Crusade, still others linger as clandestine terrorists, and YET OTHERS walked out and joined less rapacious factions of the Jyhad like the Church of Caine. Gehenna is at hand, but it's happening... over there. You know, off-screen. This was done to try to scale the game back to a state more akin to how it was presented in 1st edition. | |

Batman: The Joker despite being a staple of Batman lore disappeared from comics for a whole decade between 1964 and 1973, not even Cesar Romero's popularity in the show in the role convinced DC creatives to take the clown off the bus. It wasn't till Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams decided to bring him back Darker and Edgier did the Monster Clown forever cement his place as Batman's Arch-Enemy. Two-Face was absent for two decades during the Silver Age until O'Neil and Adams brought Harvey back and cemented his place in the Rogues Gallery. |

Tsukauchi is put on a bus after he gets kicked out of the 4th Division for participating in the Millennium Tower raid. He comes back five years later after the USJ attack. Kiryu was never THAT present in the fic but he fakes his death and cuts contact with everyone three years after the Akatani arc. He has yet to come back. Majima vanishes a year prior to Izuku going to UA, coinciding with the events of Judgment. |

Life SMP: In the first season, 3rd Life, BDoubleO100 was absent on Day 6 because it was his daughter's birthday at the time. Later, SmallishBeans took his absence on Day 7 for undisclosed reasons. Neither BDoubleO100 or SmallishBeans have a substitute with them. In the second season, Last Life, GoodTimesWithScar was absent on Day 7 due to hospitalization in real life. Scar didn't have a substitute. A double absence happened during the fourth season, Limited Life, where PearlescentMoon and ZombieCleo were unable to record for their respective sessions on Day 6 due to Pearl being in Japan at the time and Cleo's computer dying just hours before the session. Because of this, LDShadowLady and GeminiTay sub-in for Pearl and Cleo, respectively. TangoTek wasn't able to make it to the recording session on Day 6 of the fifth season, Secret Life, due to him going on vacation. As a result, Rendog subbed-in for him for the entirety of the recording session, and the secret task given to Ren was to have an Imaginary Friend that is exactly like Tango. |

Several recurring Ice Age characters do not make an appearance in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild: The most notable examples are Peaches and Julian, Granny, and Shira. While the former three were written out of the series in the fifth film (Peaches and Julian moving away to live their own life, and Granny moving to Geotopia to stay young, respectively), Shira goes completely unmentioned. Sid’s girlfriend Brooke also goes unmentioned and unseen, even though it was implied she’d still have a relationship with Sid even though she needed to stay in Geotopia to stay young. Scrat is also nowhere to be seen in this film, a first for the franchise. Despite Mama Rex making an appearance, and the bond she formed with Sid being referenced, her three children that Sid had previously helped her to raise are not seen or mentioned. In Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Buck chose to stay in the Lost World after learning that his nemesis, Rudy, was still alive. Despite Adventures Of Buck Wild taking place in the Lost World again, Rudy isn't seen or mentioned at all. Likewise, there is no mention of Gavin, Gertie, and Roger despite being inhabitants of the Lost World. |

Rose Guns Days as this as a pattern: at the end of each year, one of the characters has to leave Japan for a reason or another. In 1947 Leo goes back to southern Asia to fight with former comrades who try to get their independence; in 1948 Rapunzel must leave Japan with her father and take refuge in South America, since the latter is still under arrest from the Chinese army for war crimes and in 1949 Alan is wanted by Primavera for betrayal and goes to China where his dead girlfriend Meixue must be burried. All of them are Back for the Finale in 1950. | |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Thalia Grace gets put on a bus for book four after joining the Hunters of Artemis. Percy himself is AWOL for the first book of Sequel Series The Heroes of Olympus, and in the second book all of the previously established characters except Percy are on the bus. Leo Valdez is put on a bus at the end of The Blood of Olympus, or rather a flying dragon, with Calypso. They return at the end of The Hidden Oracle. Annabeth is on a bus for the first book of The Trials of Apollo because she's off participating in the first book of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. |

Betty Ross from The Incredible Hulk is the poster girl for this trope as unlike every other hero’s Love Interest who have been at least mentioned if they're unseen, Betty completely dropped off the face of MCU after her only movie appearance. Bruce Banner also sees Black Widow as his only Love Interest despite Betty still existing, the only mention of her again was a Word of God saying that she turned to ash along with half of the universe in Avengers: Infinity War. Fans hoping for Red She-Hulk are gonna be disappointed. This got worse starting with Phase 3 and during Phase 4, when her father Thaddeus Ross managed to get off the bus in Captain America: Civil War a whole nine years later, followed by Emil Blonksy/Abomination returning in both Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, making William Hurt and Tim Roth the only returning actors from The Incredible Hulk. And if you count Bruce Banner himself (albeit recast from Edward Norton to Mark Ruffalo), this makes Betty the only central character from TIH that has yet to make a reappearance. Even Mr. Blue/Samuel Sterns, despite becoming a Sequel Hook that ultimately became an Aborted Arc thanks to the rights issues with Universal, got some closure in The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week and is confirmed to be coming back as The Leader for Captain America: New World Order and Armor Wars. Later subverted when Betty finally returned after 13 years... but in the third episode of the animated Alternate Timeline anthology series What If...?, where in an alternate version of TIH, she ends up tragically witnessing her lover explode thanks to a vengeance-seeking Hank Pym. She still has yet to make a return in live-action form. |

In Godzilla vs. Kong (set five years after King of the Monsters), the news report describing Godzilla's attack on Apex Cybernetics in Florida mentions this is the first substantiated Titan sighting to occur in over three years, and Godzilla Dominion reveals that Godzilla commanded the awakened Titans to go into dormancy again. | |

In the Back to the Future sequels, Marty's girlfriend Jennifer is passed out asleep and (except for an incident where she discovers something important about Marty's future and promptly passes out again from encountering her future self) stays there until the end of the third movie. In the DVD commentary, the writers admit that if they'd known they were actually going to do a sequel, they wouldn't have had Jennifer get in the DeLorean at the end of the original movie, because they didn't know what to do with her. | |

The most notable examples are Peaches and Julian, Granny, and Shira. While the former three were written out of the series in the fifth film (Peaches and Julian moving away to live their own life, and Granny moving to Geotopia to stay young, respectively), Shira goes completely unmentioned. Sid’s girlfriend Brooke also goes unmentioned and unseen, even though it was implied she’d still have a relationship with Sid even though she needed to stay in Geotopia to stay young. | |

In the Pony POV Series, Trixie leaves Ponyville after the conclusion of the Princess Gaia arc and returns home to her family. She makes a cameo appearance in the "Retcon-Struction Blues" special episode, but it doesn't become a full The Bus Came Back example until the Wedding Arc. Dark World!Rainbow Dash is left at Sweet Rock Acres after her Heel–Face Turn because, due to her Heel Realization, she's presently suicidal and needs time to get her mind in order. She returns later on just in time to help the group take down Odyne!Cruelty. She and the Princesses are put back on the bus after the latter are freed because the Princesses are presently powerless fillies, and Twilight doesn't want to put all their eggs in one basket on the off chance Discord had one last trump card up his sleeve. And then the bus comes back again when the Benevolent Interloper tips them off that Twilight and the others will need help against Nightmare Paradox and her Psycho Rangers. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the character Rickon gets put on a bus — or sent off with a wildling woman of dubious allegiance — at the end of Book 2 and hasn't been heard from since, mainly because the author found writing for a four-year-old difficult. It is anticipated he will return, possibly badassed up, with his psychotic direwolf, in later installments. Benjen Stark has been MIA since early in the first book after going on a scouting mission north of the Wall. |

Little Hands, Big Attitude: Commander Walters is unceremoniously removed from the story in The Thief and the Sleeper after GUN command tells him that he's removed from any case involving the aliens at Green Hills, and the only reason they told him those missions are happening is because he would have heard from the grapevine anyway. Kaia spends the entirety of The Thief and the Sleeper trapped under the frozen lake, so she can't help the heroes with anything or even talk to them. Same goes for the sequel fic, she's still trapped in the lake. |

Battle for Dream Island: In general, this is done to the eliminated contestants, who remain unseen until events like rejoins and final episodes, as well as other events like the eliminated contestants' escape attempts. In the season finale of Season 1, the Announcer goes back to his home planet because he is an alien that cannot stay on Earth for much longer. Other than some cameos, he is not seen for a large portion of the series, before he finally returns in the Season 4 episode "BFB = Back From Beginning". Done to several characters in the "Dead Four" story arc of BFB. One of the teams becomes concerned that the main host of the show, Four, has grown too violent and obsessed with hurting the contestants, so they devise a plan to get him and X out of the show by "multiplying" him with Donut, who represents zero. Four and X disappearnote Although it is later revealed that X escaped before he disappeared, with the multiplication still working because the multiplication sign isn't needed to do multiplication., leaving Donut as the host. After that, several charactersnote In order of deaths, they are Taco, Balloony, Foldy, Bell, Naily, Remote, 8-Ball (downplayed however, as he was eliminated at the same time of his death, so he would have had to leave the show regardless), and Bubble. are killed over the course of the episodes before Four is finally revived in "Enter the Exit", making it a case where multiple characters are all put on a bus. This is done to Clock as well, who is killed by Four for an unknown reason offscreen in "Enter the Exit", before being brought back in "The Four is Lava". This is lampshaded by Clock, who is angry that none of his teammates remembered to revive him. |

A few examples from The Bible: Moses' wife Zipporah, who ended up separating from him when she had to do an emergency circumcision on their son when the Lord met them on their way to Egypt to kill Moses, with her saying to Moses, "You are a bridegroom of blood to me." She does return later on with Moses' father-in-law after Moses leads his people Israel out of Egypt, but she isn't mentioned again after Exodus. David's first wife Michal, who first is given to another man, with the assumption that David was dead, then later returned to him by Abner when he gives control of the kingship of all Israel to David, and then when she complains about David's dancing before the Lord, she is basically left childless to the day of her death. |

A Scooby-Doo comic features a subplot where Scrappy goes to a gambling table and begins winning hotels. At the end, he declares that he has won hotels and vanishes from the Mystery Machine, where the gang discovers he was using the solid hologram device from that story. The last panel has Scooby leave the van to go back to Las Vegas to get him, but by the next comic, Scrappy isn't anywhere to be seen, so presumably the gang left him there to run his hotels. | |

In Avengers: Endgame it seems Sharon Carter has gone the way of Betty Ross and Jane Foster as, despite everyone else returning, Sharon's absence is notable. Fans weren't fussed since Sharon's relationship with Steve Rogers in Civil War was pretty Squicky considering she's the niece of Peggy Carter (Steve's One True Love). Despite her absence from the films, Sharon returned for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where, ironically enough, The Avengers failing to check in on her after she became a fugitive following the events of Civil War led to her becoming the Power Broker. Endgame also has a tear jerking case of The Bus Came Back as Harley from Iron Man 3 attends Tony's funeral. |

Ravenloft had to do this when Arthaus sub-let the rights to publish material for the game-setting from TSR/Hasbro, because the original darklord of Sithicus, Lord Soth, was copyrighted under the Dragonlance setting instead. The death knight vanished out of the Land of Mists in a catastrophic event called the Night of Screaming Shadows, and was never mentioned by name in Arthaus's products, although later Dragonlance material indicated he'd been sent back to Krynn. | |

In Questionable Content, it looked like this was going to happen to Steve. Turns out, he's back. However, the side characters Dave and Meena caught that bus. Also, Sarah, Ellen, Amir, and Natasha. Looks like Raven is on that bus too. Actually, it seems like the bus dropped Raven off just in time for her college physics class. Amir got off the bus for a cameo as well, but has probably caught another one at this point. Also, since Sarah was apparently "eaten by an Allosaurus," this may be more of a Bus Crash scenario. |

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Professor X played by Patrick Stewart not seen since Logan (where he died) five years ago makes an reppearance, though unlike the aforementioned lucky Spidey villains however he's Back for the Dead (again). There's also Blackbolt played by Anson Mount who was last seen in the unsucessful Inhumans show back in 2017, like Proffessor X he's Back for the Dead. Although technically they are not the Fox Charles Xavier and MCU Blackagar Boltagon, but alternate universe versions (played by the same actors). | |

X-Men: The Last Stand: Nightcrawler didn't appear with no explanation given. (The in-universe reason appears in the X-Men: The Official Game where Nightcrawler leaves due to the X-Men's missions clashing with his peaceful nature. The real life one was that Alan Cumming had refused to return without Bryan Singer, especially since he was not fond of the torturous makeup sessions. In one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes, he readily admits that he doesn't think he could come back and go through it again.) Originally, Nightcrawler was to appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past, but it was cut out because Singer felt there were too many mutants already. |

The Squats in Warhammer 40,000 were an unpopular Dwarf knockoff from older editions of 40k. They have disappeared from the game and the fluff, without much explanation. When pressed, GW will say they were eaten by a Tyranid Hive Fleet. However, they received a brief mention in the 6th edition rulebook, which carried over to the 7th edition rulebook. | |

In Warhammer, the Dogs of War and Chaos Dwarves are former armies, with people even having the option of hiring Dogs of War units as rare choices. GW presumably realized what a Game-Breaker that could be (essentially allowing you to hire units to get around your armies designated balancing weaknesses) and completely cut them from the fluff and army books. Chaos Dwarves are a little more complicated as the army is remembered fondly by veteran players and often sought after by new players, and they remain in the fluff (primarily due to the proximity of the newer Ogre Kingdoms army). Lately models and rules have begun popping up on Forge World, leading people to hope that the army might be due for a revival. | |

Lampshaded in Bittersweet Candy Bowl several times. This◊ was commissioned by a fan from the artist in anticipation of that character's ultimate fate, due to her importance to the story primarily as Paulo's girlfriend - a status she is unlikely to enjoy much longer. This was drawn after Kizuna's original creator threw a hissy fit, resulting in Taeshi removing the character from the comic, and all of the fan characters save Tess and McCain have been retconned out of the comic. On a more serious note, Lucy herself has been put on a bus on account of leaving Roseville High. |

While they might sometimes take temporary leaves that cause them to miss some adventures, they're not as permanent as departures in the anime. | |

The Mickey Mouse Comic Universe had a villain named Von Weasel who debuted in 1943 as a partner of Pete and actual Nazi, identified as a "best buddy of Hitler." Needless to say, this is a justified example of this trope; Not only would it be incredibly insensitive to have a "best buddy of Hitler" as a minor antagonist, but Pete has gone through several decades of character development and most modern audiences would never imagine him voluntarily working with actual-nazis. | |

In the second film, Yin Yang appears in the opening sequence, but parachutes into China with the rescued official and is never seen again. Prior to leaving, Gunnar asks when he'll return, and Yin Yang replies, "Maybe soon... Maybe never." He returns in the third movie, but only during the final battle, where he's shown fighting alongside Trench. | |

Spoofed on Homestar Runner with the Show Within a Show Cheat Commandos. In the short "The Next Epi-snowed", voice actor Crack Stuntman gets bossy and uncooperative while recording an episode of Cheat Commandos, and director A. Chimendez eventually gives up and has Gunhaver sent "on a secret mission to the moon for an undisclosed period of time", replacing him with Author Avatar Agent Chimendez. It's also mentioned that "when [Gunhaver] gets back, his voice might have changed." | |

The Riftwar Cycle character Owyn Beleforte was key to the plot of Betrayal at Krondor and its novelization, Krondor: The Betrayal. Then he was put on a bus and never heard from again (Save for a one page reference in the next book stating where the bus is going). Strangely, the bus heads in different directions in each media: In the game, he gets a crown-paid scholarship to Stardock and potentially becomes a great wizard. In the books, he goes home and spends the rest of his life in a part of the Kingdom that is generally irrelevant to the plot of the series. | |

Almost the entire cast of main characters from the original Ace Attorney trilogy was put on a bus by the events of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Phoenix appears as usual and the only other returning characters (where they only appear once for a flashback event) are Dick Gumshoe and Mike Meekins. Maya, Pearl, mentions of Mia and Miles Edgeworth, and several other recurring characters are completely ignored and Phoenix makes no mention of them at all except a slight nod to Maya with his collection of The Steel Samurai discs. Several of these trilogy characters return in Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice, though Gumshoe has been infamously absent from the 3D era games, his role being replaced by Bobby Fulbright and later Ema Skye. Franziska von Karma is also MIA post-timeskip, presumably continuing her prosecutorial career in Germany. | |

Star Wars Legends: In the first six books of Galaxy of Fear, Hoole is distant and irritable and doesn't relate too well to his adoptive niece and nephew, so has his droid assistant DV-9 give them lessons and do most of the interaction with them. After Army of Terror the droid finally objects to how much danger he's been taken into, so Hoole sets him free and the droid starts working somewhere safe. By that time Hoole's relationship with Tash and Zak has warmed considerably, so the droid isn't needed anymore. He does briefly appear at the end of the series, but likes the safety too much to go with them again. |

This happens to many different characters in War and Peace, as there are so many of them, but the one who stands out most is Dolokhov, who is put on one after crushing Nikolai Rostov and stripping him of nearly forty thousand roubles, only to return later after having taken a level in Badass. | |
