Required Spinoff Crossover	comment	So, the Spin-Off has launched. All the requisite cast members have jumped ship, and you've got enough stylistic elements to draw at least a loose connection between the new series and its parent. But why stop there? Why not have recurring visits from members of the old series, who are just stopping in to say hi? Hell, why not have crossover events? A Required Spinoff Crossover is what happens when a spun-off series decides to showcase its connection to the original series frequently and with great vigor. Sometimes it will happen when a character from the first series stops by to follow up on a plot in the second series. Other times, there will be a full-on crossover, where both series get together to follow one plot. Either way, the show is going to remind you of its pedigree as loudly as it can. Note that this is not a character from the first series moving to the second series, but rather a periodic reminder, usually through guest appearance and crossover, of the connection between the two shows. See also Poorly Disguised Pilot, an episode of the original series that's used to test the waters for a spinoff, Spinoff Send Off, a crossover in the pilot of the spinoff to establish the connection with the previous series. Contrast Late Spinoff Transplant, where a character joins the cast permanently after the series has debuted Examples

Furthermore, there was a crossover episode with the mothership, "Entitled", where SVU investigated the case in one episode and the DA's office prosecuted it in the next.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_187f0cac	comment	Eerie Cuties/Magick Chicks: The latter began as a Spin-Off of the former and eventually took on a life of its own, with a greater emphasis on drama, character development, and overarching storylines. Meanwhile, Eerie Cuties remained a lighthearted comedy/horror series. Despite this, characters from both series often make appearances in the other and there's been two major crossover mini-arcs. The first had Layla from Eerie Cuties meet Faith, who's one of the main characters from MC. Since the former is a vampire with the dormant soul of an ancient vampire queen, and the latter is a monster hunter in training and an abnormally powerful esper, you can guess how that went down. The other had Brooke, a lamia, run into Faith's boyfriend, Ash, which lead to an impromptu sparring match that soon escalated into a fight, when Ash made the mistake of provoking her - not knowing what he was getting himself into. Which he almost didn't live to regret.

When Gloria was picked up, it debuted with a completely re-written pilot. (The original was eventually included in the syndication package for Archie Bunker's Place, however. Confused enough yet?)

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_2212773a	comment	Angel: Oz and Spike showed up in "In the Dark" to follow up on plot from Buffy's "The Harsh Light Of Day". Buffy showed up in "I Will Remember You". Faith fled to LA after the events of "This Year's Girl/Who Are You?" with Buffy pursuing in "Five By Five/Sanctuary". Willow also showed up in "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb" to deliver news about Buffy, and again later when the AI team needed her to perform a spell in "Orpheus". Willow was the crossover once again in the Season 9 comic series, appearing on the last page of Angel & Faith #10. Before the license went back to Dark Horse Comics Willow even managed to cross over between publishing companies to appear in IDW's Angel spinoff, Spike. There was also a special crossover "event" between the Buffy episode "Fool For Love" and the Angel episode "Darla", in which several flashback scenes are seen from Spike's perspective in the Buffy episode and then again from Darla's perspective in the Angel episode which originally aired immediately afterward. Season 6 and season 3 were the exceptions. Buffy changed networks in its sixth season and Angel's third and crossovers were banned. The reunion of Buffy and Angel after Buffy's resurrection was only visualized in comic book form. Fortunately, the networks changed the rules the next season.

After the episode's plot is all wrapped up and Gomer's back on the bus going back to the Marines, the three get back from vacation and the episode ends with Gomer frantically banging on the bus windows to try and get them to notice him. However, this trope was also played straight, with both Andy and Opie, Goober, and Aunt Bee appearing in three separate episodes.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_326c82c5	comment	NCIS: Los Angeles, which got its start on a Poorly Disguised Pilot on the regular NCIS, featured the DC team's Abby coming out to L.A. to investigate a serial murder case. The episode pretty much revolved around her. Similarly, Bud Roberts from JAG appears on an early episode of NCIS. Lee Wuan Kai, a Korean assassin, had a history with Leon Vance, director of NCIS. So, naturally, her first stop was Los Angeles not long after they get established, causing Leon to fly out to deal with things personally. Then she followed him back home. Since Abby's two-episode arc, however, NCIS: LA has managed to avoid appearances by NCIS regulars other than Director Vance. It took all of two episodes for NCIS: New Orleans to exceed this count, with Ducky appearing in the first episode and both Abby and Tony appearing in the second. Gibbs himself appeared in the third episode and recurring character Tobias Fornell appeared in the fifth. (Director Vance also appeared in three of those episodes, but as the head of NCIS, he has reason to be in contact with the head of the branch office on a regular basis.). Seasons 2 and 3 of NCISNOLA also had two-part episodes that began on its parent show.

So when Jeremy stood in for Graeme as Barry's teammate, it only made sense to do a "Dougal and the Laird" skit. The Hamish and Dougal Hogmanay Special was a straighter example. Hamish And Dougal was spun off from I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and the Hogmanay Special brings in all of Clue's regulars.

Pretty Cure feature characters from the previous 14 seasons, but the most frequent characters to appear are Cure Black and Cure White from Futari wa Pretty Cure. Notably, the last of these episodes sees all fifty five Cures fight and defeat one of the showâ€™s villains.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek, in addition to the Spinoff Send Off in every series save the first: Jonathan Frakes appeared in multiple spin-off series (as William Riker in Voyager and Enterprise and as Thomas Riker in Deep Space Nine). He and Marina Sirtis have also appeared in Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Star Trek: The Next Generation: One episode focused on Sarek, Spock's father. A later two parter featured Spock himself and a single episode had a visit from Scotty. McCoy had a cameo in the pilot. The show crossed over with Deep Space Nine for the "Birthright" two-parter, featuring Dr. Bashir in the first part. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The first season leaned heavily on this trope to woo loyal TNG fans. Beyond turning Miles O'Brien and his wife Keiko (and later Worf) into regulars, episodes after the pilot featured Lwaxanna Troi, Q, Vash, Lursa and B'etor. Later seasons brought Gowron, Admiral Nechayev, Kurn, Alexander Rozhenko, and even Kor, Kang, and Koloth from the original series. Star Trek: Voyager: Voyager character Tuvok appeared in one of Deep Space Nine's Mirror Universe episodes since the differences in the timeline meant that there was no reason for the Mirror version of the character to be trapped in the Delta Quadrant like the main universe version. Both Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation featured season arcs revolving around the Maquis, which was created intentionally to serve as a plot device for Voyager's mission that resulted in it being stranded in the Delta Quadrant as well as its unusual crew dynamics. Deanna Troi and Reg Barclay from The Next Generation both had recurring roles on Star Trek: Voyager. One alternate future timeline featured TNG character Geordi LaForge as a captain. Voyager's Captain Janeway got to make an appearance in Star Trek: Nemesis, which was a Next Generation movie. A torch passed back. Star Trek: Enterprise: This is the entire premise behind the polarizing final episode "These Are the Voyages", which features not just Will Riker and Deanna Troi (and Data's voice) from Star Trek: The Next Generation (i.e. an entirely different series within the same franchise), but by reusing some old sets and footage from TNG and focusing the episode around a dilemma that Riker was facing in a TNG episode ("The Pegasus") that he decided to work through by reliving some scenes from the Enterprise era on the Enterprise-D holodeck. Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy) appears in Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_81f5d35d	comment	This used to happen all the time in the Kamen Rider series starting with Kamen Rider V3. With V3, Ichigo and Nigo helped turned Shiro into the titular Rider before they were supposedly killed. Then they came back to help him and Riderman. Then, every series through the Showa era would have every previous Rider return to help the current Rider save the day. Kamen Rider's Heisei era developed a tradition of these starting with Decade. Rider A's standalone movie (which occurs late in its run), will have Rider B (star of the upcoming series) make an Early-Bird Cameo, usually appearing from nowhere to help Rider A battle some powerful enemy. Then shortly into Rider B's run, there will be a crossover film (dubbed "Movie Wars") where A and B each get their own mini-movie segment, and it all ends with the two heroes joining forces to fight the film's Big Bad. These crossovers are apparently Canon, at least to each other, since when the characters meet up for the second time they'll reference the events of their first encounter. Super Sentai has also adopted this format, though due to the difference in the timing of new season launches between them and Kamen Rider, the Early-Bird Cameo Rangers usually show up in the crossover feature, not the standalone one.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_86aff994	comment	Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the first Power Rangers season to be a spin-off rather than a direct continuation, had the main cast and characters from previous series, Power Rangers in Space teaming up to fight revived Psycho Rangers. Not only that but Kendrix died and Karone, better known as former In Space villain Astronema, replaced her as the Pink Galaxy Ranger. Since then it became tradition (though one not always held to) for new Power Rangers series to have a crossover with previous one. Anniversary seasons (Wild Force, Operation Overdrive, Megaforce) often celebrate by bringing back Rangers from previous series for a special episode. Besides the in Space teamup described above, Lost Galaxy also had established connections to in Space by having Bulk, Skull and Professor Phenomenous appear in the first episode and Alpha 6 and the Astro Megaship in the second one. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder: During Mesogog's first attack, he expected people to believe that last season's villain, Lothor, was responsible despite it not being the same town Lothor used to attack. Later on, a two-part episode featured Lothor and the Ninja Storm rangers. Also, Tommy was the Dino Thunder Rangers' mentor. Power Rangers S.P.D. had two crossovers with Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, with each team getting to visit the setting of the other's show. Power Rangers Mystic Force had Piggy making an appearance and making a Call-Forward to events from the SPD series. It also stated that one minor character, Mystic Mother, was a redeemed Rita Repulsa. Power Rangers Samurai's crossover with Power Rangers RPM only barely qualifies, though - only one RPM Ranger shows up, and he was a Fake Shemp to boot. Bulk was a regular along with Skull's son. Skull appears in the finale.

There were no other explicit crossovers between the two shows, but there were references. In Criminal Minds, JJ encourages Prentiss to make a move on Mick Rawson from the Suspect Behavior team (which she decides against), and an episode of Suspect Behavior features a picture of JJ on Garcia's desk after she was forced off the team, which serves as the only hint they might still be in contact. When Criminal Minds got a second spin-off, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, they got their own technical analyst, Monty, but Garcia shows up anyway to accuse him of stealing her octopus mug even though he doesn't drink coffeenote though he does enjoy some nice tea.

Pegasus and Kaiba appear with a fair amount of frequency as well, Sugoroku (Grandpa Muto) is featured briefly when the gang visit Domino City, and an early episode focuses on Judai dueling against someone who stole Yugi's old deck and is pretending to be him. Yugi himself also appears, albeit shadowed, in the first and the penultimate episode, sending Judai back in time to duel the past Yugi when he still had Atem with him, to establish a fairly ridiculous time loop.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_9dfa8216	comment	Law & Order: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit had Briscoe and Green from Law & Order investigating a case that tied into Benson and Stabler's in "...Or Just Look Like One", and Abbie Carmichael served as the ADA in charge of SVU cases until they got their own ADA (first a minor character played by Reiko Aylesworth, then Alex Cabot). Furthermore, there was a crossover episode with the mothership, "Entitled", where SVU investigated the case in one episode and the DA's office prosecuted it in the next. Also inverted in one Law & Order episode which had Benson and Stabler showing up, given that the murder case bore considerable similarities to a series of rapes they'd been investigating and they suspected (correctly) that their prime suspect in the rapes was responsible for the recent killings. Law & Order: Criminal Intent followed the same pattern, with Briscoe and Green called upon to leak info of a serial poisoner by Goren and Eames in one episode, Van Buren asked about a suspect that formerly served under her in another episode, and Skoda called in for a psychiatric opinion in yet another episode. And before L&O: CI launched, there were plans for a "mega crossover" between the three series centered around a terrorist attack...but then 9/11 happened. The short lived Law & Order: Trial by Jury also did this, once with a follow-up on a case that had been closed on SVU, and once with the prosecution of the guy who shot Det. Green on the original series. It's also noteworthy that Fred Thompson appeared on both Trial by Jury and the original Law & Order as a series regular on both shows simultaneously, a remarkably unusual occurrence in television history. Averted with Law & Order: UK, possibly because this was simply another show in the franchise rather than an explicit spin-off.

Expect to see it on every other sister game during the next cycle of releases. The most infamously wide-spread examples of this have included "Rin to shite saku hana no gotoku" (a.k.a. "Nadeshiko Rock") and "FLOWER"; the latter even made it onto Gitadora too, in the form of a one-to-one rock remix, and also SOUND VOLTEX in the form of a REDALiCE remix (until the advent of SOUND VOLTEX II's POLICY BREAK event, Konami orignials were not allowed in the game). Just to milk "FLOWER" even further, the song is also included whenever Konami does a crossover event with other companies' music games, and as such the song also appears in maimai, Groove Coaster, Taiko no Tatsujin, Synchronica, and CHUNITHM. Many other rhythm games also do crossovers with each other, sharing songs between them. This leads to some songs ending up in a lot of games, with conflict by Siromaru & Cranky taking the crown by appearing in 22 rhythm games.

However, SHIMMER itself played this straight for SHINE Wrestling's first ten shows(it being another all women's promotion).

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_cac1f772	comment	CSI has had several, aside from the pseudo-crossover Poorly Disguised Pilots. Ray Langston visited both other series during CSI's 9th season. In CSI: NY's second season, Mac Taylor went down to Miami and then returned to New York with Horatio Caine as they tried to catch a suspect together. The original and CSI: NY crossed over when Mac went to Las Vegas to surprise his girlfriend/future fiance and discovered she'd been kidnapped. When he and DB Russell realized she'd never left New York and was being held there, Mac returned to NY with DB in tow to find her before it was too late. Incidentally, other than Miami's PDP, the original never crossed with the spinoffs until after William Petersen's departure, because he was against the spinoffs from the start, believing it watered down the writer pool on the original. New York's PDP launched from Miami.

There were four such episodes in Season Two: Kristin Shepard appeared in "Kristin" ( coming less than month after it was revealed that she shot J.R., her appearance was no doubt designed to capitalise on the record breaking ratings experienced by Dallas), J.R. appeared in both "A Family Matter" and "Designs" and Bobby appeared in "The Loudest Word". There were none in Season Three but it happened twice more in Season Four, which was the last time that any Dallas character appeared in Knots Landing: J.R. appeared in "Daniel" and both he and Bobby appeared in "New Beginnings", the second part of a two-part crossover with Dallas and the only Knots Landing episode to feature all three of Jock and Miss Ellie's sons.

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_e18af54e	comment	Just about the entire The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast turns up in Rhoda for the title character's wedding, eight episodes or so into the first season. This is sweet, but a bit awkward...maybe WJM's ratings were so low, no one would notice if the news took a day off. Hard to believe, but those who work in the news are allowed to have a day off. There is indeed a "weekend" crew at almost every local news outlet. Lou Grant averted it, however. Only one other MTM character aside from Lou himself ever appeared and she wasn't a major character. This was likely to prevent tonal dissonance, given the series' more dramatic tone.

The producers made a deliberate effort to tie Atlantis back into SG-1, too - the original series got an episode set in the spinoff's location. Stargate Universe has SG-1 characters turn up often (minus Teal'c who is Demoted to Extra, for some reason). O'Neill in particular is around more now than he was in the final seasons of his own series. The first season finale, involving SG-1 bad guys trying to reach the Destiny, is set to be as much an episode of SG-1 as SGU, if the episode that serves as prelude is any indication.

Both Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation featured season arcs revolving around the Maquis, which was created intentionally to serve as a plot device for Voyager's mission that resulted in it being stranded in the Delta Quadrant as well as its unusual crew dynamics. Deanna Troi and Reg Barclay from The Next Generation both had recurring roles on Star Trek: Voyager. One alternate future timeline featured TNG character Geordi LaForge as a captain. Voyager's Captain Janeway got to make an appearance in Star Trek: Nemesis, which was a Next Generation movie. A torch passed back.

It's not like Cafe Nervosa is on Cliff's mail route or anything...

Required Spinoff Crossover / int_fd314ec1	comment	Kamen Rider's Heisei era developed a tradition of these starting with Decade. Rider A's standalone movie (which occurs late in its run), will have Rider B (star of the upcoming series) make an Early-Bird Cameo, usually appearing from nowhere to help Rider A battle some powerful enemy. Then shortly into Rider B's run, there will be a crossover film (dubbed "Movie Wars") where A and B each get their own mini-movie segment, and it all ends with the two heroes joining forces to fight the film's Big Bad. These crossovers are apparently Canon, at least to each other, since when the characters meet up for the second time they'll reference the events of their first encounter. Super Sentai has also adopted this format, though due to the difference in the timing of new season launches between them and Kamen Rider, the Early-Bird Cameo Rangers usually show up in the crossover feature, not the standalone one.
