Instantly, Pokemon's team rocket comes to mind when I think of characters blasting off after losing a battle, just to become a twinkle in the skytvtropes.

However, it has become rather popular in lots of shows!

Luffy blasting Alvida Off If you're a man, fly to the heavens and become a star!

I'd like to know what was the first anime that featured characters blasting off and if possible, whether or not the first instance of this was in Anime?

    A Twinkle in The Sky . . . you just need to search for anime/manga release date . .

    TV Tropes is neither complete nor accurate. As far as accuracy, they're somewhere between a random forum and some blowhard's blog, not as good as Wikipedia but better than your crazy uncle who believes Elvis is an alien princess.

From what I understand this trope actually dates all the way back to Greek mythology. Apparently, Hercules did this to someone.
