Chekhov's Boomerang	comment	An item gets used. You relax a bit, maybe admire the way it fits into the plot if it's done well. But then, when you were least expecting it, it gets used again. Thanks to The Law of Conservation of Detail, you had put the item out of your mind because it had served its purpose—but what you didn't realize was that it wasn't a single-shot Chekhov's Gun and is actually coming back. Particularly common in Adventure Games, where a particular item, setting, or character might get used three or four times. While this is a good thing in principle, being more realistic, leading to fewer loose ends, and going some way to countering Stupidity Is the Only Option, it can throw newbies to the genre who might get stuck on a puzzle for hours because they didn't realize that they'd had an item all the time, they'd just forgotten about it. Of course, this cuts both ways: you might try out something that worked before, but this time it doesn't. Compare Brick Joke (the gun is dismissed and forgotten before it's used even once, and then comes back). The player may have to apply Chekhov's Boomerang in video games for Final Exam Bosses.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_10a1dd0c	comment	Eastward has the Lucky Coin. It first comes up when Sam and John have to go after Daniel in the caves beneath the school after some bullies threw the coin in there; he later tries to give it to Sam when she and John are imprisoned, and it gets thrown through a poster on the wall of their cell, revealing that there is a hole behind it that they can use to escape. After that, while in New Dam City, Sam uses the coin on a machine at the casino that everyone else has lost at, resulting in her constantly winning and getting the attention of Lee the owner, which sets the rest of Chapter 3's plot into motion. Then the coin is used again when Sam and John join William and Daniel (the robot) on the Iron Carbine and they need to make it move fast enough to outrun their future selves, and also later when John chases Charon after Mother possesses Sam and goes on board.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Early in the game, Link, when talking to the mayor before leaving town, has to catch a runaway goat, stopping it in its tracks and throwing it to the side. This later comes into play when Link is climbing Death Mountain (this time, against charging Gorons), and is even required to beat the mid-boss that he battles in the dungeon that follows immediately after climbing said mountain. This skill is pretty much forgotten about for the rest of the game, until the battle against Ganon, where Link, in his Wolf form, must do this in order to expose his weak spot.

Admit it, you probably forgot about it by the time Griphook got hold of the sword, taking it away from the plot. And then, as the story is reaching its climax and the sword itself is long forgotten, Neville draws it from the flaming Sorting Hat and beheads Nagini with it, destroying Voldemort's last Horcrux and earning his personal Moment of Awesome by the way.

Nine years later it's revealed that he was actually the supernatural being known as Uncle Time, as Bun-bun's ending in Torg's "possession" was shown as the culmination of a story involving rather convoluted time travel elements. Even the squiggle on his shirt gained significance.

Body Crystal, a drug that amplifies an esper's powers, is a refinement of the red crystal developed in that same story arc. The Queen of the Adriatic Sea appears dealt with partway through the series, only to resurface as a weapon against Fiamma of the Right during World War III. The author has also taken to introducing concepts and characters in one-off side stories only to have them appear in later primary story arcs (Leivina Birdway and her "Dawn-Colored Sunlight" magic cabal being a prime example).

Later on, the scene is partially explained for Casey's origin - Danny the World tells her that he was then Danny the Brick and traveling the universe with Crazy Jane when someone ambushed them and used Danny as a weapon to murder someone. This scene reappears again to start the Milk Wars, it turns out the victim was the God of Superheroes and he was murdered by Retconn so that they can take the stories of the Trinity and corrupt them.

Early on in your quest, you meet the Fortune Teller Pamela, and help her out when her Cassandra Truth falls on deaf ears. After several adventures, you abruptly learn she has the knowledge required to fix another problem you've run into: curing a victim dosed twice by the Gray Rain, which is in and of itself a bit of a Boomerang. The best example, however, is the Empty Bottle you obtain after using the Holy Water. This sits in your inventory after its first use and is easily forgotten, until you need to use it to collect some other special water. Notably, you can do this long before finding out it's required.

Incidentally, both spells require a deep, emotional bond between others to be properly cast. Lucy — one of the most empathetic characters in the series, as noted in Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess — figures out that they can use Fairy Sphere to seal Acnologia away, and Merudy uses her Magilty Sense to link Lucy with every wizard on the continent to power the spell.

The song causes Father Gascoigne to clutch his head in pain as its melody briefly restores his memory during the fight against him. When you get to Mergo's Wet Nurse, the background music "Lullaby for Mergo" turns out to be the same song that the music box plays. Using the tiny music box on the Wet Nurse also causes her to strafe as if dodging an attack. And at the end when Mergo is crying for the Wet Nurse shortly after she died, you can play the lullaby with your music box to make Mergo laugh for the last time.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_30a5ebfd	comment	In Naruto: Uchiha Shisui's only role seems to be to explain whom Itachi killed to get his Mangekyou Sharingan. 237 chapters later, it is revealed that the Sharingan that Danzo hid under his eye bandage belonged to him. He returns again during the Fourth Ninja World War, when his other Sharingan helps a resurrected Itachi break from Kabuto's Edo Tensei Mind Control. Orochimaru uses the Reanimation Jutsu during the Konoha Crush to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. And the end of Part II: Kabuto uses the same jutsu to summon many shinobi from the dead and form his own army with it. Orochimaru summons previous Hokage from the dead to fight Obito and Madara Sasuke's Shadow Shuriken technique, used once in the first arc, is used again over 350 chapters later when he is fighting Itachi. It returns again another 50 chapters later when Naruto uses it with a Rasenshuriken against Pain. Naruto's Rasenshuriken technique, initially a melee attack, was used a few times during the Immortals Arc. Due to the damage it causes to his own body, the Hokage bans him from using it any further. About 100 chapters later, Naruto gets around the problem by using Sage Mode to convert it to a projectile attack. It still has another limitation in that he can only use it a few times, rendering it useless if it misses the target or the opponent dodges it. He gets around that problem too, about another 100 chapters later, and now it is remote-controllable using his other Super Mode. Upon returning from his training with Jiraiya, Naruto gifts Kakashi one of Jiraiya's novels. He uses it to good effect during Kakashi's bell test. It is never mentioned again until the Pain arc, during which it becomes important to decode a message. Another one of Jiraiya's novels about a battle against a rogue ninja, serves as an inspiration to Namikaze Minato to choose his son's name. It is brought up again during the Pain arc for a different reason. Way back in chapter 8, Kakashi warns Team 7, after a very poor demonstration of teamwork, that if they do not improve, a time may come when they are forced to sacrifice a team member for their mission. To emphasise the point, he tells Sakura to kill Naruto or else he would kill Sasuke. This situation is played out in Kakashi's backstory, where he had to choose between rescuing his teammate Rin and completing his mission, and eventually leads to what everyone considered Obito's death. The situation appears again in Nagato's backstory later, where he had to choose between killing either of his two teammates, and that leads to Yahiko's death. Still later, it is revealed that Kakashi was a witness to another such situation, wherein to save Konoha, Kakashi was forced to kill Rin, who was forcibly made a Jinchuriki for the purpose of attacking Konoha.

Well, he's dead and absorbed, so now we don't have to see him ever agai-oh wait, there he is inside Pride, stopping the little bastard from taking over Ed's body. And that is without mentioning his Philosopher's Stone. Remember Havoc's girlfriend? He was finally going to have a great relationship, but then Mustang makes him dump her. Well, that was pretty funny. She won't be coming back aga-Oh hello, Lust... The idea of the exchange with Truth comes back again and again! Even in Brotherhood, based more closely off the manga. You can safely ignore Isaac Mcdougall, the filler character made just for this anime and the subject of the one filler episode, at the end of which he dies, right? There's no way his crazy OC plot will come back in later episodes, right? Wrong. In a flashback to Xerxes, we see Father lied to the king about where the nation-spanning transmutation circle was centered, leaving the king to get turned into a Philosopher stone with the rest of the country. Near the end of the manga, he pulls this same trick again, as the apparent center the heroes were trying to keep Father away from was a decoy; the real one was under his chessboard.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_32d026ec	comment	Rave Master: In Volume 6, when Haru is facing down Sieg, he's briefly able to get past his magical defenses by using the Eisenmeteor form of his sword, having realized that magical defenses only work on magic-infused items. Much later, Sieg is facing down Haja the Infinite, who has unlimited magic power. Unable to beat Haja with sheer magic strength, he instead rams him through the heart with a staff devoid of magic, having remembered what Haru said and realizing that Haja would be unable to block it. During the fight with Orge, Musica is able to neutralize one of his goldclaimer techniques, pointing out the basic alchemy process between metals is all the same with the only difference being power. In Volume 32, when Musica attempts to forge a new blade for Haru's Ten Powers sword, he remembers that instance and instead uses his alchemy powers to make the blade instead of trying to master swordsmithing in a short time.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_3b34143f	comment	A regular event in the Harry Potter books. One good example is basilisk venom. This is established in the second book to be a deadly and destructive substance. This property comes into play at the end of Chamber of Secrets when Harry uses a basilisk fang to destroy the magic diary. Five books later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are desperate for a way to destroy the Horcruxes they've collected — and Ron goes down to the Chamber of Secrets and grabs an armful of basilisk fangs. On that note, Godric Gryffindor's sword is a twofold Chekhov's Boomerang between its multiple reappearances and the fact that it's goblin-made and therefore "imbibes only that which strengthens [it]," when Harry used it to slay the basilisk, the sword absorbed the venom. Thus, Ron is later able to use the sword to destroy the locket Horcrux. In Deathly Hallows, remember the passage early in the book where Scrimgeour denies Harry its ownership, claiming the sword presents itself to any worthy Gryffindor? Admit it, you probably forgot about it by the time Griphook got hold of the sword, taking it away from the plot. And then, as the story is reaching its climax and the sword itself is long forgotten, Neville draws it from the flaming Sorting Hat and beheads Nagini with it, destroying Voldemort's last Horcrux and earning his personal Moment of Awesome by the way. Now that's a Chekhov's Boomerang! For that matter, Tom Riddle's diary is one as well — when it appeared in the second book it seemed like a mere MacGuffin for Harry to face Voldemort again. After it was destroyed, it seemed to have served its purpose and could be forgotten about like the Philosopher's Stone. And then in sixth book, Dumbledore explains about the Horcruxes and it's revealed that the diary was a major clue. One that's only in the second book: Mr Weasley's flying car. Ron, Fred and George use it first to get Harry out of the Dursley's house when Uncle Vernon locks him up. Two chapters later, after missing the Hogwarts Express, Harry and Ron use the car to get to Hogwarts. Near the end of the book, Harry and Ron stumble across the car in the Forbidden Forest. After Aragog allows Harry and Ron to be eaten by the other spiders, Harry and Ron are rescued by the car, which gets them out of the Forest. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Zachariah Smith's comment about Expelliarmus not being useful against Voldemort is amusing, but it also counts as a boomerang, because in Deathly Hallows Harry's identity is revealed by the fact that Expelliarmus is his signature move. Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card is probably the oldest boomerang in Jo's arsenal; Harry reads it on his first train ride to Hogwarts, and uses it about halfway through the book to identify Nicholas Flamel. Nothing else on the card is useful until the very last book, when Dumbledore's duel against Grindelwald is brought up again as an important point. Harry gets his invisibility cloak in the first book; it's used several times throughout the series, and seems to be a relatively mundane magical item. Until the final book, when the heroes learn that invisibility cloaks are unreliable and wear out over time... except for Harry's. It's strongly implied to be the mythical original invisibility cloak, supposedly created by Death himself, and the most prized of the three Deathly Hallows.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_3d22c14b	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam 00: in Episode 19, Tieria utilized the almost secret of his Gundam Virtue — Nadleeh and its Trial System — which control any mobile suit connected to the Veda computer. The Trial System demonstrates its ability to stop the Gundam Thrones dead in their tracks but is disabled by someone hacked into Veda. Never to be seen again, especially not after being disabled and the original Gundams being decimated at the end of the first season? Dead wrong. The Trial System makes a surprising victory appearance through the Seravee/Seraphim just after control of Veda is wrestled back from Ribbons during the second to final episode and stops a neverending swarm of kamikaze Trans-Am Gundam. After realizing Veda might no longer be safe, Celestial Being programs new operating systems for the Gundams so that they can operate independently of Veda (in Season 1). They also have to fall back on this strategy quickly after speculating on the risk. During the final episode (of Season 2), Ribbons resorts to the Veda-independent Reborns Gundam and uses it to destroy Seraphim, which was using it's Trial System to disable all of the Veda-connected villains.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers and Super Sentai: Linkara recently pointed out the Zeo Crystal had been used like this in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers in the transition to Power Rangers Zeo. It was first introduced mid-season as a plot device to drive the conflict between the heroes and villains for a couple of episodes, and, knowing Power Rangers, you would expect it never to be used again, but, at the end of the season/transition between series, it comes back as a way to restore the Power Rangers to their adult forms and give them new powers. Unsurprisingly, Super Sentai has versions of this, since its footage is used for Power Rangers. Nearly every series has had a movie in theaters, and in recent years there has almost always been an exclusive powerup of some sort introduced, either for the rangers, their mecha, and sometimes both. They would then later be remembered by the rangers arbitrarily at some point later in the season and used only once, maybe twice before its end. (Sometimes after its end with the teamup movies) The only series so far with repeated use of the movie powerup in-series is Shinkenger's Kyoryuu Origami Disc. Naturally, when some of these were translated to their respective American seasons, they ended up becoming Forgotten Phlebotinum instead. Though some of these were only used for finale arcs or teamups with explainations why they were unavailable before, justifying that status. Power Rangers Time Force has the Electrobooster which is used for its function in the episode it is introduced, and then gets stored in the teams hideout where it comes back to play a part in the All Your Base Are Belong to Us finale.

After having been cut off the Doctor in "The Christmas Invasion", we see it in a jar for the entirety of the first season of Torchwood. At the end of the season it starts pulsating, alerting Jack the Doctor is near. Just when you think it has served its purpose, bringing Jack and the Doctor together in "Utopia", the Master steals it along with the TARDIS at the end of the very same episode and then proceeds to use to grab the Doctor's genetic code and age him in "The Sound of Drums" and then even further in "Last of the Time Lords". After the Doctor defeats the Master you think the damn thing is finally done with, but no, it's pointed out to Donna and Martha in "The Doctor's Daughter", and takes the Doctor's regeneration energy after he gets shot and creates a copy of the Doctor that goes on to live with Rose Tyler in "Journey's End".

He disappears again after that, only to reappear just as Frodo reaches Mount Doom and decides to claim the Ring for himself instead of destroying it. Gollum attacks him and finally retakes the Ring, but during his victory dance, both he and the Ring end up toppling into the Fire.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_5ce2f08b	comment	Three examples from Black Butler: First thereâ€™s an early mention that Aleister Chamber is involved with black magic groups, which overlaps with Chekhov's Hobby. Later on he turns out to be part of the Phoenix Society and tries to use the Bizarre Dolls for his own purposes. In the next arc, his connections to the Phoenix Society allow his nephew, Edgar Redmond, to contact the Undertaker. During the School Arc, the elephant that Soma rides into school on also becomes important twice- and yet it still manages to be hilarious every time it shows up. First it gets spooked and destroys Maurice Coleâ€™s room, forcing him to share with Soma and giving Soma the chance to catch him sending notes to his underlings and get photos of his real face. Then Sebastian uses it to transport water during the fire. In the both seasons of the anime, Cielâ€™s ring has actual plot importance, although this trope only applies in the second season because in the first season it serves an entirely different purpose. It houses his soul, prompting his memory loss and the entire second season. Then a different ring is later used to store Aloiseâ€™s soul the same way Cielâ€™s ring was used. The effect lasts much longer (in terms of screen time, at least) and plays an even more crucial role in the plot then the first example does.

One's in a red can and the other's in a green can, and it is established that Hara is color-blind and can't tell the difference between cans. Hara decides to switch the contents of the cans so that she doesn't mix them up. What happens? Well, Tomiko decides to kill her mother and her faithless fiancÃ©, so she does their tea with poison — except that the poison is actually the cleanser, so all she does is give their tea a funny taste. However, it turns out that in addition to illogically switching out what's in the cans, Hara also quite logically marked the poison can with "poison" on the bottom. After looking at the bottom of the can and confirming that it is in fact poison, Hara dumps it on top of the salad, and thus murders all of the other three.

This breathing exercise gets brought up multiple times throughout the episode; Gus teaches it to Hunter when the latter starts having a panic attack, and Hunter's knowledge of the exercise helps convince Willow that he's on their side. In the climax of the episode, Hunter tries to guide Gus through it when Gus goes into Heroic BSoD, but because he doesn't quite know how the exercise goes, it ends up looking more like he's trying to whistle through an asthma attack — the sight of which makes Gus laugh, snapping him out of it.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 and its Spin-Off Stargate Atlantis have very long memories, with many items you'd filed under Forgotten Phlebotinum years ago coming back. A good specific example is the Ancient communication stones: Introduced originally for a humorous clip show episode where a random schmuck finds out about the Stargate program through it, then used a season later to contact the Ori galaxy, used again in an Atlantis episode a few years after that, and finally becoming a fundamental plot device in Stargate Universe. Another SG-1 example: the protagonists create a virus that will render a Stargate nonfunctional, and they use it on the Stargate of a planet owned by Ba'al. Demonstrating amazing knowledge of the Stargates' programming, he modifies it to spread throughout the whole Stargate network, shutting down every 'gate in the universe before they manage to reverse the effects. Then, a number of episodes later, they need to get an Ancient super-weapon working to wipe out the Replicators (who threaten to consume all matter in the galaxy), and it comes up that they need to figure out how to dial every Stargate in the galaxy simultaneously. Another is the Quantum Mirror from "There but for the Grace of God" it is used a few seasons later to introduce an alternate universe Carter and Kawalsky (killed off in the beginning of the series) for an episode. It is then referenced in Season 9 as a possible solution for a problem they had encountered, but it had been destroyed. Probably the best example in all of SG-1 is the legacy of the two Goa'uld Death Gliders captured in the season 2 premiere. They appear half a season later being researched in Area 51, before being jury rigged into a prototype fighter that goes off the rails two seasons later. Two seasons after that, a new prototype has been developed from all Earth-made parts, but has to be sacrificed shortly after its premiere. One season after that and the fighter has entered full production, with a new space cruiser prototype using the same principles being produced as well. Finally, by the end of that season, as all hope seems lost in the face of a full scale invasion fleet, Earth deploys a full fleet complete with dozens of reverse engineered space fighters and a fully functional battlecruiser. It takes five full seasons to come to fruition, but when it's finally there it is immensely satisfying.

You receive it early in the game, it helps for a while, it gets used less and less as you get further into the game and no truly new uses for it appear for quite some time... then all of a sudden, you need it again in order to beat the Final Boss. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Early in the game, Link, when talking to the mayor before leaving town, has to catch a runaway goat, stopping it in its tracks and throwing it to the side. This later comes into play when Link is climbing Death Mountain (this time, against charging Gorons), and is even required to beat the mid-boss that he battles in the dungeon that follows immediately after climbing said mountain. This skill is pretty much forgotten about for the rest of the game, until the battle against Ganon, where Link, in his Wolf form, must do this in order to expose his weak spot.

Then in 2017 in the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid spin-off Kamen Sentai Gorider, Kuroto Dan enacts an elaborate plan to bring himself back to life, including an Unwinnable by Design virtual world which he oversees while disguised as Kenzaki, complete with copies of his powers. This attracts the real Kenzaki to the game world, who reveals that Dan screwed himself: since he's the only Undead around, the (game) world ends...and Dan's plot along with it. Kamen Rider Zi-O: In the first part of the series, Sougo gains the powers of past Kamen Riders by giving them a blank Ridewatch in their year of origin, then returning to 2018 where the Watch has absorbed a fraction of their power, keeping it safe from the Another Riders. This aspect of the story is eventually dropped (Hand Waved as the result of alterations to the timeline), but in the penultimate episode Sougo travels to the year 2068, during his future self's attack on La RÃ©sistance that kicked off the events of the series, and secretly places a blank Ridewatch into Tsukuyomi's pocket. When he returns to 2019, the Watch has absorbed enough of her power that it becomes her own personal Ridewatch, letting her become an 11th-Hour Ranger.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_898ba48d	comment	Used several times throughout Stampy's Lovely World, but most notably, the You Again Cloning Contraption, which manages to be a plot device for over seven years. It was first used in Episode 179, "Cloning Contraption", to clone another Stampy Cat to help with the building of the Soggy Sandwich restaurant. Then it's used again in Episode 184, "Clone Calamity", where the Big Bad, HitTheTarget, makes a Clone Army and attacks Stampy and Lee using it, and Lee also clones himself to help with the fighting. All the known clones at the time died in the episode, and Stampy breaks the button which would enable the machine to work, though it's replaced at a later point in time. Later in Episode 356, "William Beaver", the new Helper, William got curious and decided to clone himself with the machine, once again to help with construction. Finally, in Episode 700, "Tragic Day", HitTheTarget and Veeva Dash (HTT's eventual partner-in-crime) recycle their past plan and decide to clone an army of dogs large enough to Zerg Rush Stampy and his own wolf pack, which proved to be disastrous on both sides, considering that the villainous duo still lost the battle and two of Stampy's own dogs died in the crossfire (and one more was mistaken for dead), which prompted Stampy to destroy the machine once and for all.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_8d817ccb	comment	Some plot elements from Lost might arguably fall into this category (although some fans will probably insist that everything on this show happens for a reason, and everything is planned out in advance). For example, in the Season 1 finale, Jack, Kate, Locke, and Hurley take several stacks of dynamite from the Black Rock and use some (but not all) of them to blow open the hatch which leades to the Swan station. In the Season 2 episode "Everybody Hates Hugo", Hurley wants to use the leftover dynamite to blow up the Swan's food storage Room, although Rose ultimately manages to change his mind. The dynamite is finally used by Mr. Eko and Charlie in the Season 2 finale, in a (futile) attempt to open the Swan's blast doors, which have been closed by Locke and Desmond to lock everyone else out. Crazy to see this dynamite as an example of coming back out of nowhere one season later, given that it was again explored at the END of the series, when Richard planned on blowing up the plane. The Dharma van in Season 3, which was originally the centerpiece of a filler episode. Most of the season went by without it appearing again, until it was shown in a flashback to be the place where Ben killed his father. Then, in the season finale, Hurley uses it to cause a distraction and save Sayid, Jin, and Bernard's lives.

When she appears in the spinoff series NCIS: Los Angeles, she is kidnapped by a serial killer who streams live video of her online. He also gives her a paralytic that wears off gradually as the episode progresses, starting with her hands. As soon as she is able, she begins fingerspelling to the team, such as the fact that the door is booby-trapped. Luckily there's another signer on the team... In one episode of NCIS, DiNozzo contracts pneumonic plague, though he's treated by the end of the episode. Seasons later, when Tony's car is blown up, Ducky's very sombre mood during the driver's autopsy turns to delight when he extracts a pair of perfectly healthy lungs - the plague would have left very obvious scarring. Whoever the unrecognizable driver was, it's not DiNozzo.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: A minor Silver Age story involved Superman gathering kryptonite from around the world, forming it into a small island in the ocean, and then propelling the whole thing into outer space to get rid of it. Still, kryptonite kept turning up on Earth despite this. Years later, DC Comics decided to stop using kryptonite as an easy plot device, so in Kryptonite Nevermore a freak accident destroys all the kryptonite on Earth, and the Superman comics went for a while with no (or at least fewer) stories involving the stuff. Writers missed it though, so years after that, they had the long-forgotten "Superman Island" of kryptonite return from space and scatter the stuff all over the world again. In Ending Battle, dozens of super-villains gang up on Supes. During the fight, he disposes of Neutron by tossing him into orbit in outer-space. Two issues later, the villains are down to four but have cornered a worn-out Superman on a deserted island. Superman suddenly tells them that Neutron should fall out of orbit any moment now, which he does, provoking a nuclear blast that disrupts the fight and gives Superman a chance to leave after the Big Bad.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_90f42a9b	comment	The Wheel of Time: Callandor. It's the central MacGuffin of the third book, but soon after fulfilling prophecy by drawing it, Rand leaves it behind, and at the end of the fourth book he acquires the Choedan Kal, an even more powerful Amplifier Artifact. Callandor comes back in the eighth book, when he uses it against the Seanchan, and also gets used by another character during a key battle in the ninth, but it turns out to have a flaw that makes it seem too dangerous to use unless you're willing to let two women link with you. Then, over the next few books, it's noted how odd that Callandor is central to the prophecies but the Choedan Kal are not even mentioned, which leads Rand to destroy the male Choedan Kal. Ultimately, it's precisely the "flaw" in Callandor that makes it necessary; it allows Rand, Nynaeve, and Moiraine to hijack Moridin's link to the True Power and Hoist the Dark One by its own Petard. The Bowl of the Winds is also a lesser example; it is a key plot point for much of books six and seven, is used to "fix" the weather in book 8, then mostly disappears. It makes a sudden reappearance in middle of the last book (14), being used to prevent the Dark One's evil weather from flooding the good guys to death.

Klavier's ring. Klavier accidentally left it behind after sleeping with Apollo, telling Daryan that he lost it after sleeping with a groupie. Apollo tries to return it after he reunites with Klavier, but Klavier lets him keep it because it would be suspicious for him to get it back. When Phoenix finds it in Apollo's room after Apollo suddenly leaves, he realizes that Apollo and Klavier, whom he thought were simply colleagues, were actually lovers.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_9bb5aad4	comment	In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX The Phantom Demons/Sacred Beasts cards are the main plot point of Season 1. They're defeated and sealed away. They suddenly become relevant again mid-way through Season 3 when the new villain obtains them and uses them in a single duel. They then disappear again. Towards the end of Season 3, they make another appearance. And then they're never mentioned again, despite having the power to destroy the world. This trope can be applied to numerous cards in the series. Due to the formula, many cards make a single appearance and never show up again. Others are used extremely often. However, if a card is used twice and makes a major comeback in later, more important duels, if they're cards that tip the balance to the hero's favor, and if they're cards the viewer has forgotten about, then the trope applies.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece does this frequently with some of the cast (like Hatchi and Laboon) ending up important hundreds of chapters after they were introduced. In fact "Oda never forgets" has become something of a meme among One Piece fandom. A good example: Ace's tattoo. Looks misspelled, right? Well, after his introduction, during the Marineford arc, we find out the crossed out S was the jolly Roger of his and Luffy's third brother, Sabo, who died. Then hundreds of chapters after that we find out Sabo actually lived but with amnesia, and only reading about Ace's death at Marineford brought back his memories before putting him in a coma, and he later shows up to help Luffy. So, what looked like a little quirk in a character's design in the Alabasta Saga was really foreshadowing for something in the Dressrosa saga, well over four hundred chapters later. Even the villains of previous arcs get this treatment by Oda. Notable examples include Buggy, Mr 2, Mr 1, Blackbeard, and even Crocodile. Caesar as well, even though he was defeated in the Punk Hazard Arc, he proves to have a pivotal role up to the Whole Cake Island Arc.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_a4a6b86a	comment	Code Geass makes Suzaku into a Chekhov's Gunman riding a boomerang when Zero Geasses him to "Live!" in order to prevent a Heroic Sacrifice (for the sake of the villains, stopping his own goals from being achieved) that could have killed Lelouch, Kallen, and potentially Euphemia, all of which are Suzaku's own friends, as well as collapse much of the Black Knight organisation. Later, his Knightmare Frame is armed with a FLEIYA, which he swears up and down he won't actually use. This lasts until Kallen shows up, full of rage and piloting a superior Knightmare. She tears him to shreds and when the Geass activates, the only way he can "live" is to fire the nuke and kill half of Tokyo. It activates several other times as well, this is just the most noteworthy one. A number of characters prove to be recurring when we thought they'd only be of the one-shot variety. Most of the characters (the named ones, anyhow) in the series have a series of overlapping relationships, and so show up in multiple contexts. Lady Marianne receives several different interpretations, none of which we were expecting. As well, Nina Einstein starts as a quiet classmate of Lelouch, who then meets Princess Euphemia and develops a crush, who then attempts to build a bomb in the school basement when said crush goes crazy and dies, who then shows up a year later building the bomb properly, who then sees it used on Tokyo, and then she finally shows up working for Lelouch, building a device that stops the AU-nuke from being used again. Villetta, one of the first characters to be geassed by Lelouch, proves to be one of the most troublesome for him at various key moments.

One episode involved a tract of space laced with floating space mines. Another episode had a teleportation device that could make a Gamilon battleship appear out of nowhere. In the second season, long after we'd forgotten about both, Desslok brilliantly combined the two by teleporting a mess of space mines directly in front of the ship's Wave-Motion Gun, so they can't fire it without blowing up their own ship. Clever guy, Desslok.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Unsurprisingly, Super Sentai has versions of this, since its footage is used for Power Rangers. Nearly every series has had a movie in theaters, and in recent years there has almost always been an exclusive powerup of some sort introduced, either for the rangers, their mecha, and sometimes both. They would then later be remembered by the rangers arbitrarily at some point later in the season and used only once, maybe twice before its end. (Sometimes after its end with the teamup movies) The only series so far with repeated use of the movie powerup in-series is Shinkenger's Kyoryuu Origami Disc. Naturally, when some of these were translated to their respective American seasons, they ended up becoming Forgotten Phlebotinum instead. Though some of these were only used for finale arcs or teamups with explainations why they were unavailable before, justifying that status.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_b962c879	comment	Fairy Tail: Shortly after the end of her arc we find out that Erza, who we saw in an earlier chapter losing an eye when she was young, got a fake magic eye as a replacement. Because of this she only receives half the blast from a petrification gaze and is easily broken out the spell. After about another arc people forget she ever lost an eye at all, until she uses the fake one to see through an illusion. At the end of the Tower of Heaven Arc, Natsu first uses his Dragon Force by devouring the highly-concentrated magical energy of the Etherion crystals to defeat Jellal. At the climax of the Nirvana Arc, Jellal, now an amnesiac good guy who vaguely remembers the events of said arc, gives Natsu a power up in the form of his remaining magical energy in a powerful flame spell so Natsu can use Dragon Force again to defeat Zero. Then Sting and Rogue at the climax of their fight in the Grand Magic Games reveal they can use Dragon Force without an outside source. Then, in the Tartaros Arc Wendy remembers how Natsu activated Dragon Force and replicates it via absorbing the high ethernano concentration in the air around Face to activate her own version and fight Ezel, while Natsu manages to tap into Dragon Force against Mard Geer without an outside source of energy on his own. Finally, during the final arc Wendy reveals she can use Dragon Force naturally after training, Gajeel obtains it by absorbing the Demon Barrier Particles of Bloodman, and Natsu once again uses it without outside help to help defeat Zeref. At the climax of the Tenrou Island Arc, Natsu unlocks Lightning-Flame Dragon Mode when fellow Dragon Slayer Laxus gives him his magic to fight Hades. During the Grand Magic Games, Gajeel remembers this and chooses to replicate it while fighting Rogue's Superpowered Evil Side to obtain Iron Shadow Dragon Mode. Then the Rogue from the Bad Future reveals he unlocked his own dual mode via killing and devouring his best friend Sting's magic to obtain White-Shadow Dragon Mode. Finally, in the Alvarez Empire Arc, Rogue replicates what Gajeel did to him to let Sting obtain White-Shadow Dragon Mode to fight Larcade of the Spriggan 12, which serves as a fitting ironic twist to what happened to their future counterparts. In the Tartaros arc, it's revealed Igneel and the other dragons used the Dragon Soul technique to enter the Dragon Slayers' bodies to both protect them and to extend their own lifespans after being fatally injured long ago by Acnologia, thus explaining their long disappearance. In Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry, the Big Bad Animus is revealed to be a dragon that used that same technique to save himself and a dying Sonya after he was fatally injured by Acnologia, but because Sonya wasn't a Dragon Slayer he couldn't free himself like they could, which is why he sought out the Dragon Cry to give himself the power to free himself from her body. The Final Battle is ultimately won through the reuse of one-off techniques: The Sirius Island arc introduces two spells: Fairy Sphere, a defensive spell that Mavis seals Fairy Tail inside to protect them from Acnologia on Sirius Island; and Magilty Sense, Merudy's signature magic, which she reveals earlier in the final arc can multiply other people's power. Incidentally, both spells require a deep, emotional bond between others to be properly cast. Lucy — one of the most empathetic characters in the series, as noted in Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess — figures out that they can use Fairy Sphere to seal Acnologia away, and Merudy uses her Magilty Sense to link Lucy with every wizard on the continent to power the spell. Wendy picks up on Irene's ability to enchant other objects and people with her own magic to get out of a "Freaky Friday" Flip and power up Erza's sword. When faced with Acnologia's disembodied soul, Wendy uses this technique to transfer her and the other Dragon Slayers' magic into Natsu, which proves to be more magic than Acnologia can handle when Natsu slams all of it into him at once while he's paralyzed by Fairy Sphere's activation.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: This trope was less common in the Classic series, but the Blue Crystal from Metebelis III is an exception, having played a major role in "The Green Death" and "Planet of the Spiders". Its return was particularly unexpected, as the Third Doctor had given it to Jo Grant as a parting gift when she was Put on a Bus at the end of the former episode. And the Doctor keeps it around! He uses the crystal again in "Hide", eight regenerations later! One very persistent boomerang, even banging back and forth between Torchwood and Doctor Who, is the Doctor's severed hand. After having been cut off the Doctor in "The Christmas Invasion", we see it in a jar for the entirety of the first season of Torchwood. At the end of the season it starts pulsating, alerting Jack the Doctor is near. Just when you think it has served its purpose, bringing Jack and the Doctor together in "Utopia", the Master steals it along with the TARDIS at the end of the very same episode and then proceeds to use to grab the Doctor's genetic code and age him in "The Sound of Drums" and then even further in "Last of the Time Lords". After the Doctor defeats the Master you think the damn thing is finally done with, but no, it's pointed out to Donna and Martha in "The Doctor's Daughter", and takes the Doctor's regeneration energy after he gets shot and creates a copy of the Doctor that goes on to live with Rose Tyler in "Journey's End". In Series 6, the Teselecta robot, which is controlled by temporarily-miniaturised humans and which can impersonate anyone, has an episode devoted to it. In the series finale, it cameos briefly among several of the Doctor's friends and enemies while he's researching the Silence to find out why he has to die. That's it, right? No! The Doctor's dead body that burned in Episode 1 was a Teselecta set to look like him, controlled by a mini Doctor who was "barely singed". So the Doctor's not dead after all. The Stasis Cubes in "The Day of the Doctor", used to capture a single moment in time to make Gallifreyan artwork (it's Bigger on the Inside). Okay, so the Zygons use it to get from England 1563 to 21st-century London. Used later with the Three Doctors when they need to get into the Black Archive to save Earth from nuclear warheads buried underneath the Archive. And just when you thought you'd forgotten about it again and it's used up all its ammo, the Doctors turn around and use it to save a freakin' planet!! Midway through Series 3, we're introduced to the Chameleon Arch, a bit of technology which allows time lords can use to seal away their memories and live in human form. It shows up again in the series finale when the Master is found under the effects of one until regaining his memories. Then another Chameleon Arch shows up three regenerations and 9 seasons later in "Fugitive of the Judoon."

A running gag for a while is the Panda and Squirrel locating the copies and not only doctoring them to hide their identities, but altering each file differently, with progressively more outlandish backstories, such as one claiming the Red Panda was actually his own commanding officer, Colonel Fitzroy. This initially comes back when Fitzroy is gunned down as part of an attack on the Home Team superheroes' secret identities, and the Flying Squirrel uses the fact Fitzroy was a target at all to deduce the culprit was someone with access to the Home Team file. In later episodes, Canadian government officials make reference to the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel being a reformed mobster and his moll, revealing that the government still has the doctored files and thinks them genuine.

They come up again in Mockingjay where the rebels inspired by these events create a suicide pill they name Nightlock (whether it's made from Nightlock berries is unknown) also saying Nightlock 3 times will turn the Holo into a bomb. Wiress and Beetee are known to be capable of making bombs, which helps out everyone in Catching Fire multiple times when they're able to manipulate the forcefield. Then, Beetee uses his skills in Mockingjay to kill many civilians. The couple that Katniss sees on the edge of District 12 are a double between this and Chekhov's Gunman. One (Lavinia) shows up later in The Hunger Games, but the experience itself rebounds as an early clue that District 13 is still there, because they were escaping there.

But at the end of book 3, the Reaper Seal suddenly reappears on Naruto as the Reaper uses it as a medium to send the Hokages back to stall Orochimaru. So again, one might think the seal is gone. Instead it shows up again at the end of book 4, when Naruto removes it to get the rest of the Fox's chakra, refilling his own reserves and unlocking his Shin Tensei Kitsune jutsu.

Sometimes, you use a spell, and later you'll have to cast the same spell backwards to obtain the opposite effect (e.g. open/close) Loom is a particularly interesting example because there are no items in the game. Most adventure games that require a character to use a 'recipe' for something give that character an item that lists the recipe, so you can turn back to it if you get stuck. In Loom, you have to write the spells down as you find them out, or you are screwed (unless you use a strategy guide, which generally wasn't possible in those days). And even a strategy guide might not help, since some of the spells are randomized for each playthrough.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_e5feb1e	comment	Numerous pieces of evidence in the Ace Attorney games show up in multiple contexts in the same case, or even pop up in multiple cases as Call Backs or Continuity Nods. The Thinker Statue is used as the murder weapon in both case 1 and 2 of the first game. Also the fact that the statue is secretly a clock comes up in both cases as well (you nail two criminals when they admit it was a clock even though they shouldn't know). The metal detector from game 1, case 4, which is originally used just to gather other evidence but makes a triumphant comeback in the courtroom, helping to finally nail the real culprit. Then it comes back in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Trials and Tribulations case 5 when you use it to find the real murder weapon. The fact that a person's appearance changes during a channeling. You see it for the first time in the first game, and becomes crucial both in the second and third installments. Trucy's panties — fake prop bloomers, not her actual underwear — are used to object to testimony in the second case of Apollo Justice at least 3 times; first to show proof of other crimes on the same night, then to show what the college student witness was hiding, and then, at the very end of the case, to prove why the car couldn't have been used to transport the body. The judge even comments on Apollo's repeated presentation of that piece of evidence. The Case 4 knife in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. At first, it seems to be only significant because of its status as a murder weapon, but before the end of the case it's revealed to be doubling as a missing piece of evidence, the Yagatarasu's Key. Shortly after, it's stolen by the murderer, who escapes. End of the story, right? Wrong. It shows up again in Case 5 (seven years later), in the possession of that case's first murder victim, Manny Coachen. The full significance of the item is eventually revealed: the key end opens the safe in his office, while the "knife" portion is used as a secondary key to open a secret compartment in the safe. But we're still not done; later on, when the murderer — Quercus Alba — is being confronted by Edgeworth, it comes to light that he likely struggled with Manny Coachen, and Manny fought back with a sharp stabbing weapon of some kind — one that had somehow been concealed in a way to avoid detection. Guess how Manny pulled it off. That's right, he used the Yagatarasu's Key as a knife, as his compatriot had done seven years before.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_e7bb061c	comment	In Everything Everywhere All at Once, the hot dog fingers universe seems at first like a joke timeline, as it doesn't give Evelyn any abilities like verse-jumping is meant for.note In fact, it does the opposite, making her temporarily unable to use her hands in the main timeline. It later becomes clear that experiencing it actually allowed Evelyn to understand, respect, and sympathize with Deirdre, as well as learn more about herself. In the climax, it turns out the hot dog fingers universe actually did have a power more in line with other verse-jumps it could bestow upon Evelyn: extreme foot dexterity, since they can't use their fingers, which she uses to get out of a situation where her arms are held down.

She's first used as a disguise by Hector, which segues into him knowing where to take Miguel to find Ernesto de la Cruz because he borrowed the costume from a show Frida was planning with him. Miguel ends up meeting the real Frida as she prepares for the show, and she's the one to tell him where to find de la Cruz — at a very exclusive party at his private tower. She also compliments his artistic instincts for good measure. Later on, Hector ends up getting into the party by disguising himself as Frida again, and Miguel and his family all disguise themselves as Frida with her blessing to get to de la Cruz in the climax.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_ee66462b	comment	Dr. STONE: As a show that primarily revolves around a Science Hero, this comes up a lot. Every early invention ends up becoming part of a later one, or to make the tools to make another invention. As Senku says, science is all about building on what has come before, and nowhere is that more obvious than with tools. More specifically: The powdered seashells start out being used as soap, but they end up as a key component for gunpowder and later the sulfa drug. The pulley system Senku makes to lift the tree off Kohaku in their first meeting becomes the basis of the first wheeled cart. The hand-powered electric generator gets slotted into the waterwheel for hydroelectric power.

Chekhov's Boomerang / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: In Mega Man 2, the Bubble Lead is pretty much useless against every other enemy in the game... until you get to Wily's Hologram, in which it's the only weapon that causes actual damage to it instead of healing it to full like every other weapon. In Mega Man 3, the Top Spin is used once against a boss like all the other weapons, and then, it being the worst attack in the history of Mega Man, you probably never use it again...which is a shame, because the final boss goes down with one hit of it. The Rolling Shield from Mega Man X is a bit unwieldy in regular gameplay, but it's the only special weapon that can damage Sigma's second form. Otherwise, you're stuck with charged X-Buster shots.

It doesn't serve its first purpose in the plot until June and Junpei return to Door 3 in the Safe ending and Junpei realizes that the corpse who they had assumed was Snake's has an ulna in his left arm, which is impossible, leading him to conclude that Snake is still alive. It then comes up again later in the Safe ending, when Seven and Junpei want to cross Door 9 with the aid of the O bracelet they found (which functions like it's a 6, allowing their digital root to be 9). Snake crushes his fake arm and gets rid of it along with his bracelet so he can cross the door too without blowing up. This Loophole Abuse was his last resort, his trump card, all along.

When he fully reappears in The Lord of the Rings, he leads Frodo and Sam into Mordor before betraying them to Shelob, leading to Frodo's capture and Sam's brief turn as Ringbearer. He disappears again after that, only to reappear just as Frodo reaches Mount Doom and decides to claim the Ring for himself instead of destroying it. Gollum attacks him and finally retakes the Ring, but during his victory dance, both he and the Ring end up toppling into the Fire.
