An instance wherein two or more versions of the same character meet each other.

^{Note: Don't ask about the name, nobody remembers the origin for certain. Some believe it to have come from Square Enix and some Disney characters meeting older versions of themselves in Kingdom Hearts, but this does not happen in the series more than a handful of times. It may also come from squaring in mathematics, where a number is multiplied by itself. But any given origin theory is largely speculation, and this is merely the term that stuck.}
