| abstract | - Ah the Time Skip. Some fans' favorite moment of the series. Everyone is stronger, smarter, more attractive. The kids are teens, the teens are adults and the adults are...um, still adults. This is somewhat Truth in Television; if only a few years have gone by, the difference between how much an adult changes and how much an adolescent does can be drastic. There's a much more visible difference aging from 10 to 15 than there is aging from 35 to 40. However, this gets particularly noticeable when after reaching a certain age, adults in a series stop showing signs of aging at all. No wrinkles, no gray hairs, no change in build, and often no costume changes or new hairstyles, either. Not to be confused with Not Allowed to Grow Up; may overlap with SORAS.
