A narrative technique in which we're shown events that took place before the episode's main action. Said events may have taken place on-screen earlier, but may also be new scenes depicting things hitherto only referenced. Specific types of flashbacks include: Another Man's Terror: A character relives the end of another character's life. Death by Flashback: A character who gets a flashback has a high probability to die. Eye Recall: A flashback sequence that starts with the camera zooming inside the pupil of the character recalling the memory. Flashback B-Plot: A linear secondary story is told through flashbacks alongside the main story, both involving the same character(s). Flashback Cut: A very brief flashback. Flashback Echo: Past events in a flashback parallel what's occurring in the present. Flashback-Montage Realization: A character's realization is shown with a montage of previous scenes and lines of dialogue. Flashback Within a Flashback: A flashback within a flashback occurs when a character recounts an event in which they also flashback into ANOTHER event within the first flashback. Happy Flashback: A flashback to a happy time, may segue into a Troubled Backstory Flashback. How Dad Met Mom: A flashback to how two parents met. How We Got Here: The episode opens In Medias Res, then the events leading up to the episode's beginning are explained via flashback. Pensieve Flashback: The present-day version of the character shows up inside their own memories of the past, in order to provide snarky commentary or to inexplicably interact with the past. "Rashomon"-Style: Multiple flashbacks depicting one event from several different perspectives. Regained Memories Sequence: Multiple very brief flashbacks used to show the return of a character's memories. Self-Serving Memory: A character flashes back to an event, only for the flashback to be quite different from what actually happened, usually to make that character look better. Third-Person Flashback: A character flashes back to things they did not actually witness themselves. Troubled Backstory Flashback: A character with a Dark and Troubled Past flashes back to a happy memory that transforms into a bloodbath. Unreliable Voiceover: During the flashback, the voiceover's narration doesn't match what's being shown. Whole Episode Flashback: A flashback that takes up the whole episode. (in literary works, this would be an example of a "frame story"). Sub-Trope of Separate Scene Storytelling. Dreaming of Times Gone By and Past Experience Nightmare are two ways to show them. See also Flashback Effects for ways of distinguishing a Flashback from normal action, and Viewers Are Goldfish for flashbacks to events that are still fresh in the audience's mind. It's also a brilliant way to indulge in some Exposition of Immortality. The inverse of this trope is the Flashforward, which depicts events in the future instead of the past. Compare Interquel, which is usually a separate installment in the franchise but set in between previously released works. When a character is having a flashback, it can be because of psychic/magical powers, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or simply resurfacing memories. In either case, it's a common justification for a movie to show the audience a Flashback. If you want the page about the game Flashback: Quest for Identity, go here. |

Sleepless Domain: In Chapter 3, Undine revisits the scene where her teammates, and very nearly herself, were killed just days ago. As she does, the scene begins to play itself out again in her mind. This time, however, there's one crucial difference that the audience wasn't shown the first time — a mysterious purple entity appeared to taunt her as she lay dying, before slinking away into the shadows. Chapter 9 opens with a flashback sequence showing Undine attempting, unsuccessfully, to make a high-powered water jet with her powers. Said flashback sequence is placed right as Undine successfully manages to pull off the attack in a burst of Herioc Resolve in the present. In Chapter 10, Kokoro reveals her backstory to Undine in the form of a flashback to the night that her mother was killed (as related to her by Mingxing, since Kokoro was too young to remember it herself). This same flashback is continued seven chapters later from Mingxing's own perspective, revealing a part of the story that she never told Kokoro — that Mingxing had burned out her own powers to save Kokoro's life that night. Chapter 13 ends on an ominous cliffhanger, as Tessa discovers a threatening message left on her window just as the scene ends. Several weeks later, when Tessa prepares to finally confront the author of the message, a brief flashback shows the rest of their conversation, revealing the entity's true intentions in contacting her. |

In Digimon, after Impmon does his Heel–Face Turn, the series constantly flashes back to Leomon's death, which Impmon caused as Beelzemon and comes to deeply regret. Impmon and Jeri have other flashbacks to show how they became what they are. Jeri's mother died when she was little, her father became distant and she could never really connect with her step-mom, and Impmon gained a hatred of humans because of his abuse at the hands of his young Tamers. Series one and two also had flashbacks. Most of the Digidestined have flashbacks of family deaths, such as Izzy and Cody, who have flashbacks about their parents' deaths, Ken has his brother Sam's death, and Tai has the time that he almost was responsible for his sister Kari's demise. Owikowa also had flashbacks, to show how and Hiroki (Cody's dad) were friends, and how alone he felt after Hiroki died. TK often has flashbacks about Angemon's sacrifice to stop Devimon, and Ken has flashbacks of his time as the Digimon Emperor. |

Bleach: Happens a lot in the manga. They often happen during a significant fight in which one character is going to lose or die or if the fight helps defines a character that's won. The anime, via Adaptation Expansion, can go to town with this making episodes out of what's sometimes nothing more than a few panels in the manga. | |

Naruto has an large number of flashbacks. Protagonists, antagonists, and bystanders alike will go into flashback after flashback, explaining their tragic back-stories, lives, and motives. Entire episodes will consist two characters talking while they exchange flashbacks. An example: Hinata's confession to Naruto during the Pain arc took a couple pages in the manga, while in the anime it took an episode because roughly 3/4 of the episode was a montage of flashbacks going through her childhood and her interactions with Naruto. This used to be different with this series in its early days, when it didn't have much to recount, but the anime Overtook the Manga and went into a Filler marathon until the manga picked back up again. Then the producers of the anime developed a strategy to add Padding to almost all canon episodes so they would be as drawn out as possible, barring extended fight scenes, lest this happen again. Many times these flashbacks really accentuate a moment or decision by a character. Example: Sasuke's Tragic Backstory at the Valley of the End, to which we get new meanings of hundreds of chapters later. In the case of Hinata's flashbacks in the anime episode of the Pain arc, the flashbacks were not mere filler but an elaboration of Naruto and Hinata's characters, or an expansion on what is canon. | |

The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis: In the first issue of the second miniseries, Farnsworth explains to his employees how the Simpsons characters ended up in New New York. He gives to his employees flashback pills that will allow them to see his story while he's telling. However, Bender has no tongue, so he hides his pill under Fry's tongue. Fry then ends up seeing double flashbacks as a result. | |

Most of the Digidestined have flashbacks of family deaths, such as Izzy and Cody, who have flashbacks about their parents' deaths, Ken has his brother Sam's death, and Tai has the time that he almost was responsible for his sister Kari's demise. Owikowa also had flashbacks, to show how and Hiroki (Cody's dad) were friends, and how alone he felt after Hiroki died.

Boulder in the Stream makes use of an extended Flashback B-Plot to the one occasion Steve was called back into action between 1947 and 1954. The Hemingway Trip flashes back to two other occasions Steve took Howard fishing. The Favor flashes back to when Tony went to tell the Carters that Captain America had been found and revived. |

Sarine gets the first one in the story, as she remembers how her husband got killed Bani and Meji meet as outsiders at school Jon gets thrown out of the house by his mother, as his sister Sara watches Sara's not-so-fun introduction to the Ensigerum is the subject of a series of mini-flashbacks The Big Bad (Ian) gets an entire chapter of them, to explain why he set off on a quest that turned him from adoring kid brother to world-shattering menace |

Used a lot in Phineas and Ferb by the character Dr. Doofenshmirtz, since almost all of his inventions have a backstory and he uses flashbacks to let Perry and the audience know the purpose for it. However, there have been some occasions where he'll skip over a flashback since Perry already knows the story, and on one occasion he had a horrible headache and said it hurt too much to do a flashback. In "The Belly of the Beast", Perry was going into a flashback of how he escaped, which Doofensmirtz took advantage of by attacking him. Parodied in "Doof Dynasty", an Elseworlds episode set in ancient China, where this discussion occurs about "Master Perry": |

The Rave Master dub as a truly epic flashback. The first time they use it it's a little fitting; It shows when Elie first meets Sieg after developing amnesia and he attempts to kill her, leading to her present actions. The second time they play it is right after she meets Sieg again. Right before it starts he questions her with (voiced very well) "How did you survive?" Then it goes to the flashback, where he says the exact same thing... in the exact same tone, with the exact same expression (not that he has that many expressions) | |

Gintama is not the typical shounen series where characters grow and get stronger as the story progresses. Instead they start strong and stay strong, and goofy, and vulgar, and undignified. The majority of the funny stuff happens in the present. It's in the flashbacks, however, that the serious pasts of the main characters come out (with some funny moments) to show what happened to bring these characters here to the present. Eventually, the drama of the past catches up to the drama of the present. | |

Episodes of the Case Closed anime adapted from the manga, especially multi-part episodes, frequently employ flashbacks and in-dialogue recaps to pad out the run time (as well as occasionally replaying the last several minutes of the previous episode as the beginning of the current one), since otherwise there wouldn't be enough material to fill the full episode length. It's not uncommon to have seen the same footage 3 or 4 times (counting the first time it was shown) by the end of a multi-part episode. (It's especially noticeable when viewing all parts of multi-part episodes in one sitting.) | |

In the Erebus Sequence, the first book alternates between telling the main story and providing chronologically-ordered scenes from the protagonist's life before that, meaning that what's happening "now" and the background of How We Got Here are interwoven.

Hetalia: Axis Powers: America admits to always getting these when he begins to clean his storage room, and never being able to finish or throw anything out. Might overlap with It Was a Gift since two of the three objects he gets flashbacks over (a house with a set of wooden soldiers and a 3-piece suit) were in fact presents from England. Might overlap with Troubled Backstory Flashback several times- both the soldiers and the suit bring back bittersweet memories, which he lampshades by exclaiming there HAS to be something cool that doesn't bring bad memories with itself. Cue him finding a scratched musket from the Revolutionary War, bringing one of the biggest Tear Jerker moments in the entire series. | |

If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device has quite a few of those: In episode three, Kitten flashes back to the Age of Apostasy to break the monotony of his monologue. In episode five, the Emperor reminiscences of Malcador and how he set up what would later become Inquisition. In episode thirteen, Magnus has two flashbacks, both showing his corruption by Tzeentch. Episode sixteen is largely a huge flashback to the War in Heaven. The short "Why Kitten Hates The Tau" plays with this — it might be a flashback explaining the eponymous matter, or it might be the Emperor trolling Kitten. |

The Book of Mormon: Large parts of the book of Mosiah are a flashback, first to the people of Zeniff, who split from the main body of the Nephites about 70 years earlier, then to the people of Alma, who split away from them, making the chronology quite confusing. About ten chapters of the book of Alma do the same, recounting the sons of Mosiah and their 14-year proselyting mission among the Lamanites, immediately after having recorded the end of their mission. Also the book of Ether, which records the history of the Jaredites, starting from thousands of years earlier. |

Chapter 18 of Super Paper Mario X starts with Sonic, as always, scared of going in the water (since he can't swim and will drown in the water, after all). When he is informed that this was not the first time the group had to go through water, Sonic says to "name the times", followed by a flashback to the first Paper Mario X (lampshaded by Mario). When Sonic says there was no way it happened twice, a flashback to Paper Mario X 2 follows. Chapter 61 of the original includes a flashback to the moment when Sonic, Link and Kirby first met Samus. It also shows the origin of Sonic and Samus's Embarrassing Nicknames. |

Happy Heroes employs flashbacks fairly often, with Season 8 containing a few specifically to earlier episodes prominently featuring Kalo since Careful S. is remembering him since the Heroic Sacrifice he performed in Season 7. The episodes from Season 10 onwards with the new art style that flashback to pre-art shift episodes keep the footage in the old art style, with Season 12 episode 35 and its flashbacks to pre-art shift episodes featuring Zelia (as well as the theatrical film Happy Heroes 2: The Battle of Planet Qiyuan, which was also from before the new visual style was first used) being one example. | |
