Spinoff Sendoff	comment	A Spin-Off Sendoff is when characters and settings from one series is used to transition to those of a Spin-Off show or next installment of a Series Franchise. This is usually done by having the first episode of the new series feature these characters in one final appearance, though it can also come in the form of the new characters showing up in The Stinger of the original show's final episode. Doing this has the advantage of guaranteeing a built-in audience: it not only raises interest by establishing the new show as being in the same universe or continuity as one the audience is already fond of, but the former case also entices viewership by promising the return of their favourite characters for one last time. Compare Poorly Disguised Pilot, where an episode of the original series suddenly shifts focus to a new set of characters, and Required Spinoff Crossover, in which characters from the original series regularly make appearances on the new series. See also: Passing the Torch.

So far, this was mostly done in the late Heisei era (Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Drive, Kamen Rider Ghost, and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid; four series in a five-year span), plus Kamen Rider Saber later did it as well.

In the episode, The Simpsons appear in Mardi Gras costumes and lampshade tropes going into the parody spinoff. In "The Love-matic Grampa", Abe Simpson's has Homer drop into the bar - at which point Abe furiously berates him for how outrageously cheap Homer was in providing for Abe's funeral. This ends when point Homer pulls Abe's plug out (again) and leaves.

Spinoff Sendoff / int_77dd9e4a	comment	Since HappinessCharge Pretty Cure!, the Pretty Cure series has borrowed a trick used in Super Sentai in which during a post-credits segment in the final episode (in lieu of the usual next-episode preview), the lead Pink Cure of the now-finished series thanks the viewers for watching the past season, and in an inversion of this trope, meets and introduces the next Pink Cure. Prior to this, they just showed a "Thank You" sketch, though Suite Pretty Cure ♪ did have three endcards where the casts posed together with the Smile Pretty Cure! characters in the episodes prior to the Grand Finale. Presumably for the 10th anniversary of the franchise that HaCha marked, they wanted to do something new. The final episode of Happiness Charge saw Cure Lovely thank viewers for watching the ending season, introduce Cure Flora of Go! Princess Pretty Cure and wishing the viewers will keep watching the series. The process was repeated again a year later for Cure Miracle of Maho Girls Pretty Cure!.

Spinoff Sendoff / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider has an inversion of this where characters from the incoming series will appear in the current show. Starting with Kamen Rider Decade, almost every seriesnote with the exception of Kamen Rider Gaim for creative reasons and Kamen Rider Zero-One due to COVID-19 Pandemic schedule derailments causing its standalone film to premiere during the TV run of its successor has had the incoming Rider pull a Big Damn Heroes moment during the summer movie and help his predecessor fight a strong opponent. Sometimes it's played straighter; the final episode of Kamen Rider OOO has a scene where Hina passes by Kengo and Yuki on their way to their respective schools. Likewise, the last episode of Fourze has Shun's attempt to propose to Miu get derailed because she sees Haruto flashing his Ring of Power. Several shows have actually ended their main stories early so the last episode or two can be dedicated to an actual crossover with the incumbent Rider. So far, this was mostly done in the late Heisei era (Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Drive, Kamen Rider Ghost, and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid; four series in a five-year span), plus Kamen Rider Saber later did it as well. A more direct version of this occurs at the end of Kamen Rider Ã— Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis, where the Ghost cast attends the wedding of Drive's protagonist Shinnosuke, who tells Takeru "I'll leave the Ganma to you." Though this is also a practical move, since Drive's gear was sealed away after the battle with the movie's villains. The franchise almost played it completely straight, as Toei filmed a literal baton-passing sequence for Kamen Rider 555 and Kamen Rider Blade, with the two shows' stars meeting face-to-face. However, the sequence went unaired and fans only found out about it years later when still photos of it were published in a magazine.

Yugi forestalls Jaden's awed reaction by simply giving Jaden a card as his blessing. Yugi's face is not shown, nor is he explicitly named, but the clothing, telltale long jagged spikes of blond hair, and theme music leave no doubt as to his identity. Especially poignant in that his adult voice sounds like Yami Yugi's voice, though with a sweeter tone, and he gives Jaden a classic Yami thumbs-up.

It wasn't the very first, however, it's just the first season where it starts become an annual thing. A special franchise Recap Episode of Mirai Sentai Timeranger features the Timerangers traversing through the history of Super Sentai, and eventually came up to their successor, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, wishing them good luck. GoGo Sentai Boukenger, being the 30th anniversary season, ended most of its episodes with looks back at the franchise's history. For the penultimate episode, they instead looked ahead and showed off Juken Sentai Gekiranger. A two-way one occurs with Mashin Sentai Kiramager and 45th anniversary season Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. The Kiramager finale ends with Juru drawing a portrait of the Zenkaigers; in turn, the Zenkaiger pilot opens with a Downer Beginning of the Kiramager universe - and every other Super Sentai world in The Multiverse - getting captured by The Empire and trapped inside small gears in their headquarters. The monsters of the week of Avataro Sentai Donbrothers are all warped homages to a previous Super Sentai series. After all but onenote Zenkaiger, its monster held back to Donbrothers' post-series crossover film with it to serve as a Crossover Combo Villain preceding series were exhausted for monster representation, the last regular monster in the penultimate episode riffed on the next series, Ohsama Sentai Kingohger. The annual crossover film between the current show and the previous one could even be considered this as they usually involve the previous team having to come back into action a while after their final victory and it usually ends with the narrator thanking the previous team for their actions and telling the current team to keep protecting the world in their stead. On the other hand, these movies are typically done right as the current show is wrapping up and the current team is about to be replaced themselves (since Kyuranger, the movies are released post-series and the current team has already been replaced).

Downplayed since Oliver still has a long adventure ahead of him (to the tune of six seasons) and would cross paths with Barry several times after this, so it's more of a Required Spinoff Crossover. In addition to Oliver, the pilot episode of Legends of Tomorrow features Laurel Lance gifting her sister, Sara, the White Canary costume.

Amusingly, their versions of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are a little put off that they're villains in the new continuity. Frost meanwhile takes solace knowing at least she doesn't have an evil version of herself, ironic both because Killer Frost is traditionally a villain and because she doesn't appear at all in the Lauren Faust iteration of the franchise.
