Pick a historical event at random. Now, how many years ago did that event happen? Probably a completely random number of years ago. It might be close to 100 or 150 years, but if so, it's a coincidence. It's usually quite random. Now pick a fictional historical event. How long ago was that, compared to when the characters first mentioned it? Usually, 20 years, or 50 years, or some number divisible by 5, and if not, then 3 years, 7 years, 10 years, or 12 years. Writers are busy people. Not all of them have the time to think up random dates for each notable event. Some writers downplay this trope by making it "roughly" a round number of years ago, but they won't actually say how many years ago it really was. If a character in the story casually mentions how long ago an event occurred, it may be understood that the figure is approximate. A common way of justifying this trope is to make the event's first mention on an anniversary. Often used with Time Skips and Distant Prologues or Epilogues. Not to be confused with Exty Years from Publication, which is about the year in the work being directly linked to the year it was made, or Year X, which is when dates in-universe contain the letter X in place of digits. See Arc Number for when the same gap of time appears repeatedly. Super-Trope to 10,000 Years and Thousand-Year Reign. |

Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later is obviously set 20 years after Halloween (1978). Earlier, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers took place 10 years after, while later on, Halloween (2018) took place 40 years after. Within the first film itself, Michael's first kill explicitly took place 15 years before the present day setting of the film. | |

Can be attributed to Battlefield series with Battlefield 1942, later having a sequel set in the future entitled Battlefield 2142. Some of the, well, battlefields on which players fight are also fairly obviously linked to real battles of Wolrd War II, and so is the backstory. The reigning king of this trope is the Bridge at Remagen map, which is stated in its description to take place exactly two hundred years to the day after American forces crossed the same bridge as part of Operation Lumberjack in WWII. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild both plays straight and subverts it. 100 years prior to the start of the game, Link was severely injured and went into stasis to recover. There was another war said to have occurred 10,000 years prior to Link being attacked, meaning that by the time of the game, that war would be 10,100 years ago. However, the people in both "now" and prior to Link's stasis refer to the previous battle against Ganon as "10,000 years ago", since a single century is peanuts next to that. | |

The Simpsons: Episode "Homer vs The Eighteenth Amendment" reveals that alcohol was banned in Springfield 200 years ago, but had apparently never been enforced, to the point where it was forgotten about. It isn't until the end of the episode that it is revealed that the real reason it was forgotten was because the ban was removed 199 years ago. Homer Simpson in "The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror X": "Okay Marge, you hide in the abandoned amusement park! Lisa, the pet cemetery! Bart, spooky roller disco! And I'll go skinny dipping in that lake where the sexy teens were killed one hundred years ago tonight!" Parodied in one episode where Bart watches a movie with two teens making out in an abandoned building. When the girl questions if everything is all right, the boy assures her that nothing has happened there "in ten years. Ten years tonight." |

In Back to the Future, 30 years have passed since Doc Brown first got the idea to make the time machine and the time machine's completion (1955 to 1985). In the sequel, Doc Brown chooses to go thirty years into the future specifically because "it's a nice round number". While in 2015, Old Biff goes back in time to 1955 to make his younger self rich, a gap of 60 years. Marty and Doc go back there to prevent this, but at the end of the film the time machine gets struck by lightning and goes back to 1885, which is 100 years before the start of the first film and 70 years before the year Marty was currently in when Doc got sent back. | |

Harry Potter The Distant Prologue of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is set ten years prior to the main events of the book. Justified in that children are enrolled to Hogwarts at the age of 11, which is a reasonable age to start secondary education. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Chamber is opened in 1992, 50 years after it was opened in 1942. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Sirius Black escapes after being in prison for 12 years Subverted in the Distant Finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is set 19 years after the main events of the book rather than the more convenient 20. |

Inverted in The Guns of the South, in which Afrikaaners steal a Time Machine with the intent of helping the Confederacy win The American Civil War. When Andres Rhoodie admits the truth to Robert E. Lee, the general asks why they decided to show up in 1864 (when the war was winding down) and not at a more obvious turning point like the Battle of Gettysburg. Rhoodie explains that the machine only works in increments of exactly 150 years, and since they obtained (or rather, stole) it in 2014, traveling back to 1864 was the best they could do. | |

The "Apocalypse," though, happens in the year 1999. 1000 A.D. is at least set during a millennial celebration that indirectly sparks the events of the game, but there's no particular indication why any of the other nice round dates happen to have such important things occur on them. | |

The French animated film Gandahar directed by Rene Laloux has The Hero Silvain placed in a stasis tube for exactly one thousand years, in case the great brain Metamorphe goes rogue as the prophecy predicts. The tribe of deformed mutants quotes that prophecy to Silvain: "In a thousand years, we were doomed. A thousand years ago, we will be saved." This extends to their speech pattern, using "was/will be" as a regular conjugate of "be." The Timey-Wimey Ball bounces all over this one. | |
