If any major, Earth-shattering events are happening, they'll happen in Tokyo. Well, either that or New York City.
This is not merely a Japanese Media Trope but a cliche. For some reason, Tokyo is not only a Weirdness Magnet, but a superconductive multi-million-tesla Weirdness Electromagnet rivaled only by Transylvania, New England, and Florida. It's expected that things will mostly take place in Japan, since the story is created by the Japanese, but it will usually always be Tokyo. The rest of Japan barely exists and the rest of the world might as well not be there at all, because this is the City of Adventure.
This may be because Tokyo is Japan's the world's most populous metropolitan and urban area (one-quarter of Japan's population lives in the area, enough that the area is technically a province rather than a city) and most manga publishing houses and movie production firms are located there. Setting a story elsewhere often requires that the location be specifically relevant rather than chance. Many authors are also more familiar with Tokyo than other cities.
Interestingly, this affects the characters within the area. Being from Tokyo often gives you a generic "default" personality compared to the usual regional stereotypes. You won't see their stereotype as obviously, unless the story takes place elsewhere in the country. If it is set away from Tokyo, the city's "normal" residents will instead be meek, overworked, and stuffy — which just so happens to be the American stereotype of Japanese people in general.
In the rare cases Tokyo technically can't exist, you can substitute any of the main three locations that were historically capitals: Nara (most of the eighth century AD), Kyoto (from the end of the eighth century, officially to the 1860s), or Edo (Tokyo before it was renamed; the de facto capital from the 17th century onward). SF series set when Tokyo has already met the logical outcome of this trope tend to name their new city after the old one, just with some prefix or suffix to indicate it's not the original. note Tokyo-3, Neo-Tokyo, Tokyo Millennium...
This is also seen in many American media, particularly involving Los Angeles and New York. Entire books have been written on why fiction writers make Los Angeles a magnet for violence and natural (or supernatural) disasters. A lot of shows, violent dramas and sitcoms alike, will be set in Los Angeles as an easy means of subverting California Doubling. New York, meanwhile, is the other major center of the American television industry (dueling with Los Angeles for that role) and the undisputed center of the comic book industry; a frequent joke in comics is that New Yorkers (or residents of the city serving as an expy of New York) tend to be more used to superhero fighting than anyone else. San Francisco and Chicago also show up in this role on occasion, though not to the same degree as those two cities. Likewise, in Britain-set media Britain Is Only London, in Brazilian media it is either Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo and in Indian media it is Mumbai.
This trope is a type of Creator Provincialism. Contrast Aliens in Cardiff.

The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants: A maximum of six people are working to stop the aliens (being generous and including Grandpa), and all of them in a single relatively isolated area. The aliens never think to simply move on to somewhere else or expand their search radius because it's a Simpsons game, you gotta attack Springfield.

Lampshaded in Ultraman Gaia when Gamu, after analyzing the trajectory of an incoming alien invader, remarks that it's headed directly towards Tokyo. Captain Tsutsumi replies with an exasperated, "What? Again?" However, Gaia has also featured aversions, with episodes taking place in Germany, Canada, and the United States.

The heroine of Nurse Angel Ririka SOS is a regular 10-year-old girl who lives in the Greater Tokyo Area. No one tries to get her to go anywhere else, even though she's fighting an alien organization that's trying to overrun the earth. The villains come to her. Indeed, said organization seems to be a little too focused on mopping up escapees from their last conquest when they could win by default by keeping a low profile.

Shall We Date?: Ninja Shadow:
Generally averted: the action doesn't take place in Edo (the old Tokyo) or in Kyoto (the capital of the Shogunate) but in Nagasaki, located in the island of Kyushu. Justified, considering the time it takes place into, the very important role that the Dutch merchants have in the plot, and how the Ninja Assassin games already take place in Edo.
There are some paths that play it completely straight, though: Tsubaki's, Sakamoto's and Shintaro's Spin-Off. Again, it's very justified: in the first case Tsubaki specifically aims to kill the Shogun, in the second Zeyo wants to personally speak to the Shogun and stop Tsubaki and Toru from killing him, and the Spin-Off is centered on Makoto sending Shintaro and Saori to Tokyo as a part of a plan for their wedding.

Justified in 20th Century Boys, as the Bloody New Year's Eve begins in Tokyo deliberately for this very reason. Also lampshaded as the whole series of events was supposed to start in Tokyo but the little kids making the plot said that you can't have it start in Tokyo because it will be over too quickly, and thus have several other places like Los Angeles and London be attacked first. It has to end in Tokyo.

In The World Ends with You, the entire game takes place in Shibuya, Tokyo. Even more importance since God, er, the Composer, er, Joshua chooses it as the site for a modern-day Sodom and Gemorrah. However, it is implied that other cities have their own Composers.

Zigzagged in Moriking: All of the contenders for King of the Forest come from a rather small part of suburban Japan, with the architecture and urban layout suggesting Tokyo. However, it's revealed later on that "King of the Forest" is just the title for the Japanese champion, and they then have to fight the champions of other countries for the title of Hoshiking. The series, so far, has not left this suburban area, with all of the competitors from other countries coming over rather than the main characters going to them, with no reason given as to why.

Tokyo Ghoul, obviously. The first large-scale Ghoul organization, an Invincible Ghoul Investigator, a Mad Scientist, and the only known cases of a Half-Human Hybrid in existence all just happen to live in Tokyo. Vague mentions are given to events in China and Germany, but there is little information about the situations outside of Tokyo.

Played straight in Highschool of the Dead, in which almost everything we see happens in Tokyo... despite the infection having spread everywhere else in the world. Understandable, though, as it's very much a character-driven story, and all of our protagonists are from the same titular high school.

Discussed by the Four Heroes in The Rising of the Shield Hero where after being summoned into an RPG Mechanics 'Verse, they find out that all four of them were summoned into this world from parallel versions of Japan, with Motoyasu and Naofumis' versions of Japan being closer to real life, while Ren and Itsukis' Japans are both 20 Minutes into the Future: with the formers having VRMMOs, and the latters having Psychic Powers.
Later it's shown that this has been a common occurrence in that world; where on two separate occasions a set of Cardinal Heroes were summoned in the past: one set of Heroes had left behind a written account of their fight with The Spirit Tortoise and how to beat it written in Kanji, while another set of Heroes would venture to The Cal Mira Archipelago and named the monsters there after Japanese phrases for Dog, Penguin, Rabbit, and Squirrel.
After crossing over into Glass' World, Naofumi encounters The Hunting Hero, Kizuna Kazayama; who also came from Japan, where there also exists VRMMOs'; where the one she was playing was used for her healing pod alongside her siblings.

Played with in Book III. For most of it, the city itself isn't mentioned, with all the action either taking place elsewhere or inside the enclosed space of the Pillars of Heaven, until the action in those towers spills out into the streets. That said, the Pillars have been built in Tokyo rather than the New York of their original timeline.

Justified in Log Horizon. When the developers of "Elder Tale" update new expansion packs, they deliberately choose to activate them in the Japanese server mainly, because it's the most eastern country. They take advantage of the timezone difference to fix and smooth out any bugs by the time the update hits the American server (where the company that manages the game is located). That was also the case with the expansion pack "Homesteading the Novasphere" which activated on May 4 exactly at midnight. The Apocalypse triggered just then, so the Japanese server was the only one to receive the update. All of this also factors into Kanami's decision to travel to the Japanese server.

In both Old World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness, Tokyo and its surrounding districts has made more collective appearances throughout the various game lines than any other city, who mostly focus on their "main" city (Chicago, Philadelphia, etc) and a few "generic" locations.

In fact, it's a requirement for any numbered entry in the mainline series to be set in Tokyo; this is why Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey had its name changed from Shin Megami Tensei IV, since it is set in Mysterious Antarctica (with the actual Shin Megami Tensei IV being the one set in Tokyo).

The vast majority of Shin Megami Tensei games take place in or around Tokyo (or a similar city), with the place being a central magnet for mythological/religious figures from all around the world, including God and Lucifer themselves. This is the franchise that managed to set an entire MMORPG in Tokyo.
In fact, it's a requirement for any numbered entry in the mainline series to be set in Tokyo; this is why Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey had its name changed from Shin Megami Tensei IV, since it is set in Mysterious Antarctica (with the actual Shin Megami Tensei IV being the one set in Tokyo).
A special mention must go to Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, which literally turned Tokyo into the Center Of The Universe by turning it into the Vortex World, and anything outside being outright erased from existance. Justified, as the ritual used to cause The Conception happened in Tokyo.
Justified in Devil Survivor as the events all occur when the area within the Yamanote Train Line (the busiest part of Metropolitan Tokyo) is locked down completely, trapping everyone inside waiting for the apocalypse. It's another thing entirely that the apocalypse in question would be more familiar to Christians than most Japanese. For one thing, God apparently decided to relocate New Jerusalem to Japan.
In Devil Survivor 2, Tokyo - and five other cities - are the only places to withstand the original alien attack/deletion of the universe thanks to a powerful stream of magic running through the country. By the time the climax comes around, Tokyo is literally all that's left.
While most Persona games are set in fictional cities/towns (that are nonetheless located in Japan), Persona 5 takes place right in the heart of Tokyo, the true Big Bad having chosen the city for the site of its "game". However, the Yongen-Jaya district is fictional note but it's based on the real district of Sangen-Jaya.
The spinoff game Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE (a crossover with the Fire Emblem series) goes as far to as to feature this very trope as its title. The entire game is set in Tokyo and themed around the Japanese idol industry, while creatures from another realm called Mirages cause havoc all over Tokyo.

The various Tenchi Muyo! series manage to avoid this trope, as they mostly take place in Okayama... with the exception of the aptly named Tenchi in Tokyo. The first movie also features a reality-warping alien menace using Time Travel to attack the protagonist's mother while she was on a school trip to Tokyo. Presumably, it couldn't resist the chance to wreck Tokyo Tower along the way.

A good example is Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, in which Nagoya is destroyed early on, with Yokohama (on the other side of Tokyo Bay) as the site of the final showdown between Godzilla, Mothra, and Battra. Another would be Godzilla Raids Again, where Godzilla and Anguirus fight each other in Osaka.

Carried over to Power Rangers, just replace "Tokyo" with "the Greater Los Angeles Area" (or "Angel Grove" in the case of the original series). Even the seasons filmed in New Zealand still take place in the GLA. Justified in Power Rangers RPM since Corinth is the only city left on Earth (though it was hinted to not be in California, but near Boston).

Tokyo-2 is built-in Nagano as the center of government, and is promptly ignored for the rest of the series; meanwhile, Tokyo-3 was built in Hakone as a combat-ready fortress city over the previously discovered ruins of the Black Moon of Lilith, one of the two seeds of life the Angels are looking for, resulting in 13 out of 15 Angel fights being fought there. There are comparatively few incidents in other places. The Jet Alone test was in a different city, and the SEELE council discusses attacks on NERV facilities on other continents, but the audience just doesn't see those because the main characters aren't involved.

Averted in Super Dimension Fortress Macross, as the only points the characters land on Japanese soil, it's in the first couple of episodes as the Macross crash-landed initially on a fictional island in the Bonin/Ogasawara island chain (the same chain that includes the real-life Iwo Jima), and much later on in the series, on a trip to visit Minmay's family in Yokohama.

Tokyo Xanadu plays with this; it takes place in the fictional city of Morimiya, a suburb of Tokyo based on the real city of Tachikawa. However, a massive, supernatural disaster occurred in Tokyo proper ten years prior to the events of the game.

In Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time, Taiki and friends are lured to a Hunt outside of Japan where a powerful Digimon, Volcdramon, resides; this causes Taiki to believe that Digimon outbreaks are happening all around the world. However, Taiki's old friend Kiriha reappears to help subdue Volcdramon, and, before leaving, he tells Taiki that Japan is the most important of places when dealing with Digimon.

The lesser known RPG AMMO has Kyoto as the starting place of a transdimensional demonic invasion, source of mystic emission that empower magic users everywhere, and base of the heroic army that fights invaders. The Kyoto Tower is the physical place where things gone wild (not to be confused with the Tokyo Tower).

Atomic Robo's Biomega were the creation of a Japanese Mad Scientist, so it's logical that most of their activity would be centered around that area. Atomic Robo and the Ring of Fire plays with the trope a bit; a series of Biomega attacks occur all over the world (Hong Kong, Singapore, Madagascar, Australia, and Chile among them) in a short time span, but when an island-sized Biomega appears, guess where it's headed?

Averted in No Chance for Fate by Jadeite when he realizes that it's easy to keep the Senshi from interfering with his collection of human energy by simply doing it in another city, in another country. Since they're teenagers, they can't really get to Moscow in a heartbeat, and even if they could, they don't have the intelligence network in place to know that they would even need to go to Moscow.

Despite appearances, it is subverted in the Mazinger trilogy (Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer):
For starters, the Headquarters of the good guys are not in Tokyo (two of them are nearby Mount Fuji [in between the prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi], and the third one is on the shore [probably in Shizuoka again, since its capital is a port city]). Therefore, the enemy feels not compelled to exclusively target and attack Tokyo. A lot of Japanese cities are destroyed, ships are sunk in the ocean, and often Mazinger Z needed fighting in open sea (and in one chapter of one of the manga alternate continuities, it got deployed in another country).
In the Mazinger Z versus Great General of Darkness movie, the Mykene struck New York, London and Moscow before striking Tokyo. Its Mazinkaiser version adds Egypt.
The subversion gets enforced in the Grendizer since the Vegan army attacked many countries, not only Japan.

Completely averted in the Vampire Princess Miyu OAV. Three of them take place in Kyoto, and the last one happens in Kamakura; it's rather symbolic, since both cities were capitals of Japan at different times in history.

Played around with in RahXephon. Tokyo is cut off from the rest of the world, and the protagonist grows up there, thinking that it's essentially the last/only civilization on Earth. But then he leaves Tokyo and finds out the truth, and atypically, Tokyo is where the "villains" are coming from rather than attacking. On the other hand, as is typical, while there is a multi-national Federation, it seems to be run from Japan.

Subverted in Pacific Rim. The Kaiju Onibaba does attack Tokyo, but it's only the latest in a string of attacks on various Pacific cities. The first city hit was San Francisco. The second was Manila. The third was Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Other mentioned attacks include ones on Lima in Peru, Los Angeles and Seattle in the US, and Vladivostok in Russia. The film itself shows an attempted attack on Anchorage, Alaska, and Sydney, Australia and most of the film takes place in Hong Kong. Played completely straight in Pacific Rim: Uprising, where the climactic battle takes place in Tokyo, as the ultimate plan of the Kaiju's creators involves Mount Fuji. Namely, three Kaiju - merged into a single Mega Kaiju - jumping into the crater would ignite the whole Ring of Fire, causing the extinction of all life on Earth.

Played straight and subverted in the Fushigi Yuugi story as a whole. The original story starts in Tokyo, even featuring the National Library as the place where Miaka and Yui find the magical book that sweeps them into its story... but the parts of the prequel Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden that take place in Japan itself do not happen in Tokyo but in the city of Morioka, the capital of Iwate prefecture. And in the original series, Miaka's older brother Keisuke and his best friend Tetsuya travel to Morioka to get more into on what happened there.

Justified in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, since Japan is the "Golden Land," the place the Zyudenryu were created by Torin and the only place they would gather naturally. Not only that, but it is also a nexus point to the Afterlife. But averted in the first scenes of the season opener, which had individual rangers fending off attacks in places like America and Europe.

Justified in Devil Survivor as the events all occur when the area within the Yamanote Train Line (the busiest part of Metropolitan Tokyo) is locked down completely, trapping everyone inside waiting for the apocalypse. It's another thing entirely that the apocalypse in question would be more familiar to Christians than most Japanese. For one thing, God apparently decided to relocate New Jerusalem to Japan.

Most Kamen Rider series are implied or stated to take place in the Greater Tokyo Area.
Played Straight in Kamen Rider Kabuto, which takes place in the Minato Ward (as the Tokyo Tower is often on screen).
Some shows justify it by having the villains be more localized (e.g. the villains in Double kept their plots within a single city, and the villains in Kamen Rider Fourze operated within a high school).
Kamen Rider Spirits doesn't suffer from the budget limitations of the TV shows, and as a result has a more international scope. The opening story arc takes place in New York City, and features a very diverse cast.
Played with in Kamen Rider Gaim. Justified, since the main source of Helheim Forest comes from a Japanese city. Exploited by Yggdrasil, who built their base of operations there. And double subverted near the end, in which Helheim spreads to more than just Japan, but the only ones who can actually do anything are stuck in Japan fighting their own battles.

Death Note has its first arc located entirely in Tokyo and its surrounding area. Ryuk drops the notebook there despite writing its instructions in English on the off chance that it lands somewhere in the American or European world, L determines the location of Kira by broadcasting exclusively in the Kanto region of Japan (it contains the Greater Tokyo Area), and the headquarters is built somewhere in the region. It only decides to leave the area the minute Mello shows up and takes Sayu hostage, holding her somewhere in LA. However, there is always SOMEONE that's part of the major investigation still hanging around in Tokyo.

Also lampshaded in Ultraman Mebius by Adjutant Toriyama, who is constantly frustrated by the fact that monsters always attack Japan and wishes they would target other countries instead. It turns out towards the end of the series that the Big Bad placed a signal emitter off the coast of Japan to attract monsters and aliens to Earth. Not to mention The Movie was primarily set in Kobe (previously featured in a two-part episode of Ultraseven).

In Pokémon Red and Blue, though Tokyo technically isn't in the game, Celadon City and Saffron City are said to be modeled after two areas of Tokyo. The majority of the Team Rocket plot in the games (plus two official Gyms and one unofficial Gym) take place in those cities. Mix that with the fact that 90% of the population of Kanto lives in those two cities (with all the other cities being puny), and you can tell that there is a certain love for Tokyo shown.

In Darker than Black, one of the two magical "gates" that are connected to the disappearance of the sky and the appearance of Contractors (and the one that is being actively researched after its South American counterpart disappeared under an impregnable energy shield) is located in, you guessed it, Tokyo.

While most Persona games are set in fictional cities/towns (that are nonetheless located in Japan), Persona 5 takes place right in the heart of Tokyo, the true Big Bad having chosen the city for the site of its "game". However, the Yongen-Jaya district is fictional note but it's based on the real district of Sangen-Jaya.

Played straight in Weathering With You. The Kanto region, of which Tokyo is part of and the main setting of this film, is inundated with unusually heavy rainfall and the price extracted for denying Hina's sacrifice is the flooding of much of the city, with no mention of any other country being plagued by it.

In the MST3K-featured Invasion of the Neptune Men, saving Tokyo is apparently equivalent to saving the world. Interestingly, when a big shield is built around the city, the aliens hurl themselves through it in a mad attempt to get through, rather than fly to another city.

Justified in Case Closed where the villainous organisation runs on a worldwide scale and the fact that their screw-ups only seem to happen in two close districts of Tokyo, specially the fictional Beika ward, only serves to make The Dragon suspicious. However, there are several non-Black Organization cases that take place outside of Tokyo. i.e, the Naniwa Serial Murder case takes place in the Naniwa ward of Osaka City (where Heiji Hattori is from), the whole seventh movie happens in Kyoto, the Spider Mansion case takes place in Tottori (where the author is from) and a case that has Takagi as a kidnapping victim starts in Tokyo but finishes in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. Some cases even happen outside of Japan itself, including New York and London.

Semi-justified for the first half of Magical Project S when it was just Pixy Misa as the antagonist (given that she was specifically brought forth to be Sammy's rival), but it seems sort of silly how Sammy only has to act within Tokyo to affect the universal balance.

Averted in The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign, where most of the action takes place in Toy Dream 35 (formerly Natsumi City). Though everything happening here is justified: it's where main character Kyousuke lives, and the White Queen is utterly obsessed with him. As a result, she deliberately directs all of the villains' plans so that he'll get involved.

Despite a popular misconception, not all of the Godzilla films were set in Tokyo, although it was by far the most important city to the series.
A good example is Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, in which Nagoya is destroyed early on, with Yokohama (on the other side of Tokyo Bay) as the site of the final showdown between Godzilla, Mothra, and Battra. Another would be Godzilla Raids Again, where Godzilla and Anguirus fight each other in Osaka.
In the opening scenes of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Godzilla even leaves Japan completely and attacks Hong Kong instead. He's also attacked New York in Destroy All Monsters.
Lampshaded in Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!, a general asks "Couldn't he [Godzilla] pick on some other country?" Which causes everyone else to laugh.
The American versions of Godzilla take place in New York City, the American counterpart to Tokyo, with San Francisco getting flattened in Legendary's version.

In Code Geass, Japan is swiftly taken over and destroyed by a foreign army, and then rebuilt as "Area 11". Tokyo is naturally the center of government, and indeed pretty much any major fighting. Japan itself is still the center of the conflict between The Empire and the natives (who are treated as second-class citizens there, if they're lucky).
Regardless, Ashford Academy is definitely the center of the universe. Not only does half the major cast go to school there, but every time the war comes to the city itself, the Academy is a crucial strategic point for one reason or another. In one episode of R2, a major diplomatic conference is held in the school gymnasium. A basketball hoop hanging in the background silently makes a mockery of the entire scene.
This is more because most of the city's major governmental and administrative buildings got blown up by their equivalent of a nuke than an inexplicable attraction to the school itself.
That and Lelouch picked the location on purpose because of the memories it held, and because it served as a nice place to say goodbye to the one person on Earth who still cared about him (that wasn't already on his side). And because the foremost expert in massive destructive glowing spheres is hiding in its basement, and he wants to kidnap her. Er, that's not as evil as it sounds at first glance.

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue explained why the demons, who'd been sealed away in an Egyptian tomb, went after this random human city — Mariner Bay had built on the site of Queen Bansheera's ancient palace, and the demons make it their goal to try and destroy the city and rebuild the palace (which they never actually accomplish). Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV, on the other hand, didn't seem to give an explanation for why they're targeting Tokyo for their destruction (since they need to terrorize the humans to collect Minus Energy for the Grand Cross that would bring back Grandiene; they could've done this anywhere else and not have to worry about the GoGoV).

In A History of Magic, it took Kyubey 2000 years to see it, but he eventually realized that Japan as a whole had more magical potential than the rest of the world, and that Japanese girls adapt more easily to becoming Puella Magi. He even suggested to another Incubator that their quota would eventually be filled by a Japanese Magi. Which leads directly to the events of canon.

The various Super Sentai series; the ones that take place on Earth, anyway.
Carried over to Power Rangers, just replace "Tokyo" with "the Greater Los Angeles Area" (or "Angel Grove" in the case of the original series). Even the seasons filmed in New Zealand still take place in the GLA. Justified in Power Rangers RPM since Corinth is the only city left on Earth (though it was hinted to not be in California, but near Boston).
This was given an explanation in Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan — Black Magma is specifically targeting Japan for a large cache of geothermal energy they need to power their arsenal (although this never really comes up again).
Averted at first in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger since Baranoia is performing a worldwide-scale invasion of Earth, but then played straight when Japan provides too much resistance to go unnoticed.
Justified in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, since Japan is the "Golden Land," the place the Zyudenryu were created by Torin and the only place they would gather naturally. Not only that, but it is also a nexus point to the Afterlife. But averted in the first scenes of the season opener, which had individual rangers fending off attacks in places like America and Europe.
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue explained why the demons, who'd been sealed away in an Egyptian tomb, went after this random human city — Mariner Bay had built on the site of Queen Bansheera's ancient palace, and the demons make it their goal to try and destroy the city and rebuild the palace (which they never actually accomplish).

Eventually subverted by an official map showing where each Sentai is based. Only Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger is actually based in Tokyo, while the others all take place in a thematically relevant Prefecture.

The setting of the first two Splatoon games, Inkopolis, is heavily based on Tokyo. The Hub Level of the first game in particular (which also returned in the third game as Downloadable Content), Inkopolis Plaza, is based on the Shibuya district of the city, with many neon signs typical of the place, and the center for battling, Inkopolis Tower, is based on the similar Tokyo Tower. As the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth where rising sea levels killed all terrestrial life and allowed marine invertebrates to evolve, it's possible that Inkopolis really is Tokyo. In fact, Splatoon 2 very heavily implies this is indeed the case by namedropping the real-life Mount Nantai, which is a few hours away from the city.

Wonderella, a nondescript Sentai fighter, and an expy of the Doctor argue about this trope in The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: when killer aliens plot to invade Earth, Expy!Doctor insists on going to London to warn about it, Wonderella insists they go to New York instead, and the Sentai fighter insists that they should go to Tokyo instead, comparing the threats each respective city got. And by the way, the aliens targeted Antarctica.

A special mention must go to Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, which literally turned Tokyo into the Center Of The Universe by turning it into the Vortex World, and anything outside being outright erased from existance. Justified, as the ritual used to cause The Conception happened in Tokyo.

Has had aversions since the very beginning too. One of the first episodes of the original Ultraman took place in the Middle East, while the Multi-Part Episode was primarily set in Osaka (featuring the Tsutenkaku Tower and Osaka Castle prominently) and one of the last episodes took place on an alien planet (something that would pop up in later shows more).

In the specific case of Slam Dunk, since the anime was Cut Short right before the Nationals, it completely averts the trope. Sakuragi, Kiyota and Maki go to Nagoya in an episode, and in another Hikoichi is back to his native Osaka, but the TV series finishes riiiiight as the teams are getting ready to leave Kamakura and go to Tokyo.

Played with in Kamen Rider Gaim. Justified, since the main source of Helheim Forest comes from a Japanese city. Exploited by Yggdrasil, who built their base of operations there. And double subverted near the end, in which Helheim spreads to more than just Japan, but the only ones who can actually do anything are stuck in Japan fighting their own battles.

The Alolan season of Pokémon: The Series heavily invokes the trope because the setting and current plot heavily revolve around the school setting in Melemele Island, which is an extremely different take on what the games show where the player travels from island to island instead of being grounded in one island for a majority of the time. As such, because Ash doesn't travel to other islands (and because the majority of the Trial Captains — who aren't even Trial Captains but normal students — attend the same school and/or live there in the same island in the anime) but other native creatures live elsewhere than Melemele Island, the anime has the habit of importing non-Melemele Island Pokémon and make episodes of out them for the sake of avoiding constant travel for Ash as he attends the local school. Travels do happen, but only when it is impossible for Melemele Island to have some sort of believable replacement (such as doing a different Island Trial and fighting a Kahuna, or a snowy mountain).

Beautifully played with in Gantz. The events of the manga take place in Tokyo, but the hunters soon find out that the same is happening in Osaka. And in Rome. And basically that there is one "Gantz" in any major city all over the world. When the Alien Invasion starts, the citizens of Tokyo have barely the time to find out that New York and other cities in the USA have been attacked, before being attacked themselves.

The battle for the fate of the entire planet in X/1999 occurs in Tokyo. Not only that, but of the 14 people (seven on each side) destined to determine the fate of the world, 12 are Japanese, one is half-Japanese, and one is an artificial construct made from the brain of a Japanese girl.

Averted in Akatsuki Blitzkampf. The game takes place in a dystopian version of East Asia... but the three game stages located in Japan are NOT in Tokyo, but in the Mount Fuji area (Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures): Kanae's stage is supposed to feature the ruins of an old military base near Fuji (probably based on the East Fuji Maneuver Area), Akatsuki's is at the entry to the infamous Aokigahara forest, and Fritz's is the top of Mount Fuji itself.

Parodied in MegaTokyo; there is a Cataclysm Division in Tokyo specifically dedicated to handling this kind of stuff. Their duties includes scheduling catastrophes in advance, issuing permits for zombies and Martians to conduct their invasions, preventing non-registered attacks on Tokyo, then cleaning up the mess later.
To the point where, when the zombie invasion comes a week early, the police issue them a ticket and tell them that the invasion is next week; come back later.
Then there was the part where two guys blow up city hall for the lulz. This pisses off the zombies, as the police explains "there's a ten year waiting list for the permit to blow it up".

Mahou MUSH is set in Tokyo. While plotlines occasionally lead to trips out of the city for one purpose or other, any theme that isn't based in Tokyo in its canon will, of necessity, be adapted to be set in Tokyo for in-game purposes. This also means that, naturally, a disproportionately large number of magical events and organizations end up occurring in or focused on Tokyo, so as to come within the sphere of influence of the player characters.

Like most Toku, the Ultra Series does this a lot. However, many episodes take place in other areas of Japan; it's just that most of them would be unfamiliar to non-Japanese viewers.
Has had aversions since the very beginning too. One of the first episodes of the original Ultraman took place in the Middle East, while the Multi-Part Episode was primarily set in Osaka (featuring the Tsutenkaku Tower and Osaka Castle prominently) and one of the last episodes took place on an alien planet (something that would pop up in later shows more).
Lampshaded in Ultraman Gaia when Gamu, after analyzing the trajectory of an incoming alien invader, remarks that it's headed directly towards Tokyo. Captain Tsutsumi replies with an exasperated, "What? Again?" However, Gaia has also featured aversions, with episodes taking place in Germany, Canada, and the United States.
Also lampshaded in Ultraman Mebius by Adjutant Toriyama, who is constantly frustrated by the fact that monsters always attack Japan and wishes they would target other countries instead. It turns out towards the end of the series that the Big Bad placed a signal emitter off the coast of Japan to attract monsters and aliens to Earth. Not to mention The Movie was primarily set in Kobe (previously featured in a two-part episode of Ultraseven).
Ultraman X justifies this. Daichi explains to a TV crew in one episode that the Japan Trench has the world's largest number of Spark Dolls, meaning most kaiju that get animated from them originate near Japan and were just heading for the nearest landmass.
In the case of Ultraman: Towards the Future, Australia is now the center of all giant monster and alien attacks. And with Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, it's California.

Phantasy Star Online 2 somewhat justifies this. Phantasy Star Online 2, a super-hit action MMORPG, is all the rage in Japan due to it being included in every copy of the country's state-of-the-art operating system, ESC-A. It's also secretly a Interdimensional Travel Device that allows Earthlings to interact with beings in another dimension; namely, the dimension that the Player Character exists in. So when the player travels to Earth through PSO2, there aren't really any other places for him/her to end up. Although he/she could have shown up anywhere else, the end user of the computer that was hosting the game client just so happened to be living in Tokyo.

Generally played straight in sports anime featuring teams that aren't from Tokyo, since the preliminary matches take place in their cities/prefectures (Shizuoka City in Captain Tsubasa; Kamakura in Slam Dunk, etc.), but as the National Tournaments begin the teams must travel to Tokyo so they can play against other teams from all around Japan.
In the specific case of Slam Dunk, since the anime was Cut Short right before the Nationals, it completely averts the trope. Sakuragi, Kiyota and Maki go to Nagoya in an episode, and in another Hikoichi is back to his native Osaka, but the TV series finishes riiiiight as the teams are getting ready to leave Kamakura and go to Tokyo.

Yakuza subverts this trope. While the game started out in the fictional Tokyo district of Kamurocho and frequently returns to it, the equally-fictional Osakan district of Sotenbori is also a major setting in some games, and other games even take place in other locations such as Fukuoka, Okinawa and Hiroshima.

Sailor Moon:
The immensely powerful supernatural enemies of the Senshi almost never seem to attack anywhere but one tiny area in the Minato ward of Tokyo which the Senshi can all reach in a few minutes by running. Also, in the idyllic future ruled over by the main character, guess where her seat of government is?
As always there are a few exceptions. In the first anime Sailor V is stated (and shown in her origin story episode) to have spent some time fighting monsters in England while Codename: Sailor V has her defeat a villain in Greece (by accident; she got on the wrong plane) and China.
It's highly implied that other nefarious plots are going on around the world undisturbed. Each of the four Generals from the original plotline are designated as in charge of an area of the world. It's when Sailor Moon and her posse start unraveling their plans in Asia that more and more effort is focused on that area and getting rid of the trouble makers.

comment
In the lore of X Com UFO Defense, Japan was the first country to establish a dedicated anti-alien military force, called the "Kiryu-Kai". By the time the game starts, the Kiryu-Kai has been absorbed into X-Com by the funding nations, but the interceptors used by X-Com borrow heavily from the designs used by the Kiryu-Kai.

comment
Some shows justify it by having the villains be more localized (e.g. the villains in Double kept their plots within a single city, and the villains in Kamen Rider Fourze operated within a high school).
