Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A character who goes offscreen for even a second can instantly appear anywhere else, usually as long as the camera shot doesn't include them or they're obscured by something in the scenery from a certain camera angle. Nevertheless, extreme cases will be able to switch position even when all that's happened is that the camera changed shots and we're looking at the same scene from a new angle, like a deliberate technical goof. No matter how impossible it is for them to go from Point A to Point B in the time given, much less doing so without crossing the camera's field of view or making a sound, they will get there. This is sometimes justified by having the character be supernatural, but this is often done even by an otherwise mundane character with no in-universe explanation given. Variations of Offscreen Teleportation exist, for instance the telescope version. In this, Character A actually sees Character B a good distance away (usually involving looking through binoculars or a telescope), then looks away or loses sight of him. When Character A looks back a second later, Character B is right in front of him. Another variation is when Character A is running away from Character B, who makes almost no onscreen effort to chase him. Character A travels a conspicuously long route to a hiding place or equivalent, only to find or even collide with Character B when he gets there. "Sneaky" doesn't explain the speed he'd have to move at. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Even if his victim (usually it's a good guy running from a baddie) just ran five miles to get away from him and up two flights of stairs to hide in a closet with one entrance; when he flicks on the light, the other guy will be right behind him, without a sign of sweat or fatigue. Though possible in a multitude of genres, Horror movies are particularly prone to playing this one straight - the killer will know exactly where his victim is running to and be waiting for him before he even gets there, obviously because it lends itself so well to alarming the audience. This is especially common when the victim was Exploring the Evil Lair. This is one of those powers that the horror villain loses as he goes through victims and starts to approach the final characters. Perhaps he's losing his Scourge Of God advantage? It's all covered by the Rule of Scary. For further examples done in the name of horror, see also Flash Step, Villain Teleportation and Mobile Menace. Compare Already Undone for You. Outside of horror, this trope is really popular with characters who are supposed to be mysterious (such as fortune tellers, ninjas, wise old people and Batman), because it gets them away quickly before the person they were talking to has a chance to ask too many questions. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })It doesn't have to be a character consciously doing this for it to count as Offscreen Teleportation. Sometimes the scenery conspires to do this to characters who couldn't do it ordinarily. For instance, if Character C falls into Hazardous Water close to the shore, he may thrash about underwater for a few seconds and then find when he surfaces that he got teleported farther away from the shore than could reasonably be done even by a strong current. This sometimes happens in video games, at least inadvertently, and can sometimes fall into Acceptable Breaks from Reality. (But that doesn't make it any less creepy!) In order to keep allies from getting stuck in objects (which happens...sadly.) the game may simply teleport them behind you if they are off-screen. Typically abused by characters in a The Cat Came Back gag. See Stealth Hi/Bye for when people just use this power to begin or end conversations. See Yuppie Couple for the innocuous background-character version. Offscreen Reality Warp is a related trope where any temporary cut away from a character, no matter how brief, results in changes so quick as to be improbable at best and reality-warping at worst, such as an Instant Costume Change. Scooby-Dooby Doors uses a very specific version of this trope. |

Homura in Puella Magi Madoka Magica seems to do this. She somehow travels from the entrance to Charlotte's labyrinth all the way to the Final Boss room in just a few seconds. But it's increasingly clear there are magical means behind it. Yep, she can stop time. And she always knows where to go to sneak up on people by virtue of being in a "Groundhog Day" Loop. | |

The titular pegasus in Rainbow Dash's Precious Book, while chasing after a human who's attempting to steal her Daring Do book, gets a door slammed in her face by said human. The human then turns around to find a pissed-off Rainbow Dash behind him before getting kicked into a telephone pole. Justified, since Rainbow Dash has been shown to be incredibly fast in her home series, meaning she could've found another way out before the human even noticed. | |

Akabane does this to Ginji in the first Infinity Fortress arc of Get Backers. Gin sees him, runs like hell, stops when completely exhausted, and... Akabane is standing right there with his customary friendly smile. Arguably Handwavable by the high speed Akabane has demonstrated in combat. | |

Amusingly done in Monsters, Inc. between Sully and Boo, the latter being a cute little girl who reappears out of nowhere like something out of a horror movie whenever he's got his back turned. Of course, to Sulley it is exactly like being inside a horror movie considering he believes that her presence is deadly to him. | |

Red vs. Blue: Tex seems to be capable of this in Revelations Episode 10, closing the distance (of at least several metres) between her and her target before they even have a chance to fire the guns that they were aiming at her even as she was standing still. Suffice to say that if the screen ever shifts away from Tex and onto who she plans to beat up, they lose. Seems to be a common trait among Freelancers. When Wash does it in Reconstruction, Church mentions that he "hate[s] it when they do that." |

Hayate the Combat Butler: Hayate does this on a regular basis. Isumi Saginomiya does this also, due to having No Sense of Direction. This gets invoked when she gets Lost. She has gone out feed the birds at home and ended up...in Nagi's living room. She also leaves her home (in Tokyo) to go to Nerima (also in Tokyo) and ends up in Greece. |

Ultimate Warrior gained this power during his brief time in WCW, filling the ring with smoke to obscure his appearance and disappearance. The effect was achieved by a trapdoor installed in the ring. Management failed to tell the wrestlers in advance though, leading to several injuries as guys landed badly on it throughout the show. | |

A rather amusing version is done in Kung Fu Panda 2: Shifu pulls this off by stepping out from behind Po when in the immediately preceding shot he had been standing in front of Po. He was out of the audience's view, but not out of Po's view. Then, when the shot changes (and, again, with Po watching the whole time), Shifu has teleported again. Po is a bit freaked out by this. | |

The Slender Man, in almost all his appearances. He's a Humanoid Abomination, who's going to tell him he's not allowed? The Tutorial in particular deserves special mention for Invoking this trope. In it, the author theorizes that the Slender Man cannot warp through space and time when he is being observed. In other words, he literally cannot teleport if he's not offscreen! Slightly averted in Tribe Twelve. While Slender Man does do the usual offscreen teleporting, one video shows he's capable of Super Speed, and he uses it to bull rush Noah. Marble Hornets, being the first Slender Man series, is probably the originator for this trope, but they subvert it on a couple of occasions. For a split second in Entry #54 you can see the Operator moving into a room really, really fast, and in Entry #72 he teleports onscreen. |

Haiyore! Nyarko-san: In episode 4, Mahiro throws Nyarko and Cuuko out of the house (so his mother doesn't find them and assume he's that kind of son) and immediately sets about cleaning up the mess they left in the living room. As soon as he's done, he walks through the room and both girls are back, Cuuko playing her PSP and Nyarko sipping tea and praising him for a job well done. Cue Face Fault. And again in episode 4 of the second season, where Nyarko "accidentally" spills tea on Mahiro, then ushers him to the bathroom to clean up while she washes his clothes. Naturally, when he steps into the bathroom, Nyarko's already sitting in the tub waiting for him. |

Played for laughs in Waiting in the Summer with Rinon, whose elite stalking skills allow her to appear seemingly out of nowhere to record various private incidents with her giant videocamera. In one scene she somehow gets within a foot or so of Kaito and Ichika, both of whom are facing towards her, without either of them or the audience noticing until the sudden reveal. Maybe she stole some of Ichika's teleportation technology? | |

In episode 8 of Gosick, Kujo dangles off a cliff, held up one-handed by Victorique, for a significant length of time because he's dazed from inhaling smoke and she's too weak to lift him. Three adults, all bigger and stronger than either Kujo or Victorique, were right there when he fell. But none of them do anything, because Rule of Drama made them all vanish. They're all back again in the next scene. | |

Several characters in Samurai Deeper Kyo demonstrate this over the course of the series, with the biggest perpetrators being the Taishiro and the Sendai Aka-no-Ou, who seem to be able to pop up just about anywhere in the Mibu lands, often covering the same distance multiple times on a regular basis that it takes the protagonists over twenty volumes to traverse. Possibly justified, since being in the upper echelons of the Mibu clan probably means they know all the secret passages and shortcuts to get around while the protagonists are more or less limited to a single path. | |

As mentioned for his film versions, Batman is probably the greatest example of this trope, liking to make a dramatic exit once whoever he's speaking with has turned their back and usually in mid sentence, and subsequently reappear elsewhere. He once actually managed to change from a disguise into his costume in the backseat of a car and move to the passenger seat WITHOUT BEING NOTICED, hold a brief conversation and then similarly slip away undetected with the car in motion while the driver was looking out the window. | |

Done a few times by characters in The Cartoon Man series. At one point in the second movie, Roy is talking to Valerie when she suddenly appears behind him and pulls him into another room. And in the third movie, Cynthia does this quite a bit after being transformed. | |

Played with in Girl Genius, in which Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer! repeatedly gets thrown off of the mega-zeppelin Castle Wulfenbach, only to appear again without explanation. (It's indicated he might have managed to first land on and then take over a small blimp. Then fly it back to the Castle.) Mind you, he tries to give an explanation. No one cares. He also somehow immediately springs back from being dropped down a bottomless pit by Castle Heterodyne. He plays it straight here when Tarvek and Violetta try to give him the slip. |

In Despicable Me 2, Gru takes advantage of flashes of blinding light to sneak up on Antonio when he's dancing with Margo. He starts out staring from afar; after one flash, he's suddenly dancing with a man who was next to the Antonio; after another flash, he's directly behind Antonio, and he pounces; after the next flash, both have disappeared; after another flash, it's Gru now dancing beside Margo... at least until Antonio returns with a Groin Attack. | |

One Piece: Lucky Roux the constantly-eating pirate does this in the first chapter to move up and shoot a bandit who had his captain at gunpoint, leading some fans to speculate that he has super-speed. Kizaru did this once in Chapter 507 (manga) and Episode 401 (anime) to 2 pirates. He was able to do it, because he ate the Glint-Glint Fruit, which allows him to travel at the speed of light. It should be noted that the nature of his powers weren't revealed yet when he performed this trope. |

A recurring joke in the Jeeves and Wooster stories is how Bertie is convinced that Jeeves doesn't move like a normal person. Even when he sees him coming and going, he's always describing it as "oozing" or "trickling" from room to room, and when he doesn't, it's "Sir?" said Jeeves, kind of manifesting himself or Then he seemed to flicker, and wasn't there any longer. | |

When the others arrive at the lab, Daisy suddenly shows up with no explaination of how she got there. No one seems to notice.

This seems to be how the nations get around in Axis Powers Hetalia, since they're able to travel much quicker than a person could while on foot. Lampshaded in the 2010 Christmas event when they were being picked off one by one by a mysterious assailant, Cuba called Germany and told him to come over right away. When Germany explained that there was no way he could charter a plane at the moment, Cuba expressed surprise that Germany couldn't teleport. | |

All the time in The Most Popular Girls in School. Cameron appears in the girls' bathroom at Overland Park High — despite being a college student — as soon as she heard that her sister Shay was being called a "fucking liar". Which was mere seconds after Shay herself heard about it. And then their little sister Mikayla — who is in elementary school — shows up. This, like everything else, is lampshaded. Also used by Tanner's boyfriend Tristan, when he (somehow) found out Tanner was making out with someone. Despite the fact that Tristan goes to a different school. He immediately bursts into the Overland Park High locker room and smacks Tanner, demanding to know who it is. |

Every single character in Survival of the Fittest. No really, that's not a joke - it's part of the RP's in-game traveling mechanic. Since there's no map of the island, there aren't any regulations as to which locations characters can move from to get to others. This results in characters (looking at it from a logical perspective) effectively teleporting all over the island. And yes, it has also led to characters fleeing from a villain, and enter another topic, only to find the guy they were running from is there already. In character, it's assumed they traveled to the location 'off-screen' rather than actually teleporting, references are also made to characters moving around. |

S. John Ross once wrote a collection of GURPS Action Movie advantages called "Beyond the Grip of Realism". One of them was Truly Badass, which included the ability "If you want to be there, you are". It allowed you to move anywhere in the action scene as long as you were unobserved at the time. GURPS Horror includes a variant of Warp advantage, that is meant to simulate this trope. It allows movement at full running speed and ignoring any obstacles that the character can pass through. As in, instantly opening any locked door, running around the Great Wall of China etc, as long as nobody is looking at the character. |

One fan joke about the anime of Rurouni Kenshin is that Saitou can evidently teleport. In one episode there's a wide shot of Misao and the scenery, then a close-up of a charging mook about to kill her, and then Saitou is suddenly there to save the day. Underlined by the fact that the mook is charging at her head-on, and Saitou intercepts him by stabbing him through the back of the head, yet is standing perfectly still - directly in front of her. | |

Arguably used in The Nightmare Before Christmas when Jack goes to rescue Sally and Santa from Oogie Boogie. Last we see Jack before the Final Battle, he was sneaking in behind Oogie's back, quite a bit aways from the platform where Santa and Sally was. With the way the scene is set up, it would have been impossible for Jack to get to the platform without Oogie seeing him, no matter what sneaking skills being the Pumpkin King would get you. | |

Lupin III: Dead or Alive simplifies Lupin's escapes from Zenigata by having them all occur off-screen. Including an example where he switches places in less than a minute while being tied to a bed. | |

In Lucille Fletcher's story The Hitch-Hiker, which was subsequently used in episodes of radio's Suspense and television's The Twilight Zone, a cross-country driver keeps encountering the same sinister-looking hitchhiker everywhere he/she goes. It turns out the hitchhiker is actually the Grim Reaper, waiting to pick up the driver who had actually been killed in an accident at the start of his/her trip. | |
