Those are pretty different. They also include a lot of different elements, each of which could require its own tutorial.

The second one probably cab be accomplished with sprites and you can find a few tutorials on YouTube if you look. The basic idea would be to have a sprite that is either partially transparent or that you draw transparent, make it grow and rotate over time, and then fade out the screen. Which could easily be done by drawing a black rectangle over the screen or GUI that fades in over time.

The first one is somewhat like that it looks like you fade in a black rectangle, but you'd also want to draw the character sprites over that and then move them where you want them while drawing a fading trail behind them.

It's not exactly on point, but this has a lot of basic ideas for transitioning in general.
