An event taking place in the present triggers a Flashback of a very similar event that happened in the past, sometimes shown with a Match Cut. Resembles an Ironic Echo or Meaningful Echo except that the viewer often sees the current event first and the meaningful or ironic past event is only shown through the flashback. A series of these becomes a version of Flashback B-Plot, and a Flashback Cut can be similar but is broader and more comedic. Common types of Flashback Echoes include: If a character sees a large fire and starts having a Freak Out because it triggers a traumatic flashback of when they were a kid and almost got trapped and killed in a fire. Flashbacks of forgotten or repressed traumas may be incomplete, mysterious and foreboding. As above, but with nostalgic or otherwise meaningful events. A person reminds someone of a different person they used to know, and they flashback to memories of that person, sometimes represented by visually superimposing the old person's image over the new person's. A flashback to That One Case or an event that was someone's Greatest Failure brought on by a similar event, may lead to My Greatest Second Chance. Any flashback to an event because History Repeats. And so on. Compare Visions of Another Self, where the "Echo" part can be conveyed through a dream, an alternate reality side trip, a holodeck or other such literary device, usually in a way that teaches the character or the audience some lesson relevant to the present. If you're thinking of the stereotypical echoey sound effect that often acompanies flashbacks, you should be looking at Flashback... Back... Back.... Could be considered having some Truth in Television, because people with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) have this type of flashback activated by a trigger. For instance, if a war veteran with PTSD heard gunfire, he could have a flashback to a traumatic event with the same weapon. |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: During Episode 3, Homura arrives to help Mami defeat a Witch, resulting in Mami — who had previously told her they'd fight if they ever met again — tying Homura up with her ribbons. Homura's reaction is the first time she ever shows emotion in the series. In Episode 10 we learn that Homura was tied up once before, in an Alternate Timeline by Mami, who was about to pull off a triple murder suicide after learning the Awful Truth about what magical girls are and what will ultimately happen to them. | |

Waiting is worth it: Type 4. During Bakugo and Izuku's fight in the Tournament Arc, Bakugo accidentally hits Izuku in the head too hard. This leads to Izuku losing partial consciousness and briefly cancels out the gravity in the entire stadium. This reminds Bakugo of the first time he saw this - when they were kids at the moment when Izuku's quirk first manifests and when he became disabled - and has a minor freakout, trying to comfort Izuku and get him to regain control. He then spends the awards ceremony chained to a post, not because he had an easy victory like in the source material, but because he feels like he needs to be there for Izuku. | |

Type 3 is repeatedly used in the Search for Tsunade arc of Naruto, comparing the titular character to Tsunade's old flame and younger brother, both of whom Naruto echoed by saying that becoming Hokage was his dream. For bonus points the arc showed the old flame echoing the brother and the brother bore a great physical resemblance to Naruto to amplify the comparison. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist. Winry gets a type 2 in episode 22: as she hears rumors of the Elrics fighting Scar, she suddenly flashes back to her parents' retreating backs the last time she saw them alive, which is then superimposed with an image of Ed and Al walking the same way. Also happens to Mustang in the manga: after Hawkeye drops the phone to engage in combat with Gluttony, a single panel shows Hughes' dead body lying in a phone booth, showing Mustang's fear of being unable to save someone again. |

Type 2 is how Link gradually recovers his memories of the events prior to his suspended animation in Thelegend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild. Most of them are triggered by visiting a location that Zelda had captured in a picture on the Sheikah Slate, which has Link recall events that happened in those places from while he was acting as Zelda's bodyguard in her journey across the land of Hyrule (to recruit the Champions, and pray at the sacred springs to try and unlock her divine power). Others (largely relating to the Champions themselves) were not chronicled on the Sheikah Slate, so Link remembers them after focusing on something that was in some way related specifically to them. | |

In the first chapter of Assassination Classroom, Koro-sensei notices a fragment of charred, sizzling gunpowder from Nagisa's failed assassination attempt, triggering a cryptic Type 2 flashback involving what looks like the remains of a destroyed, burning laboratory, a woman with a bleeding stomach, and a tentacled, human-like figure cradling her in its arms. Type 1 and Type 4 occur when the sight of Itona's tentacles sends Koro-sensei into a very brief but terrifying fit of anger. The scene then cuts to a quick flashback of a hand turning into tentacles and impaling the woman in the gut. | |

Kagerou Project: During the PV for Moon-Viewing Recital, mixes Types 3 and 4. First, when Momo accidentally steps on a cat's tail, she crouches down to try and comfort it - leading Hibiya to remember Hiyori doing the same thing. It happens again later when he sees some girls playing on the swings, which triggers a flashback of Hiyori sitting in the same place - triggering another flashback to later that day, when she died in a freak accident. A comedic and heartwarming example at the end of the same video; when Momo turns away from Hibiya, he grabs her hand. His reaction when he realises seems to imply that (due to the similarity of Momo and Hiyori's clothes) he forgot himself and grabbed her hand because he thought it was Hiyori. Mary has a traumatic variant near the end of Imagination Forest when Kousouke opens the door to her house; it causes her to remember the day she has attacked by teenage boys, and her mother turned one of them to stone - which in turn killed her. |

In We Are What We Are, Iris reads from the family diary (see also: Posthumous Character). Like Iris, the diary's author is the oldest daughter of the Parker family's pioneer ancestors. The girl's mother dies early on (similar to Mrs. Parker), and the father slowly loses his mind (similar to Mr. Parker gradually succumbing to Kuru). The father ultimately forces the eldest daughter to butcher her mother's body for food (similar to Mr. Parker forcing Iris to carry on the "family tradition" of cannibalism). The flashbacks are interspersed with present-day events: the pioneer family eating their "lost" uncle cuts to bacon frying in a present-day diner, and both fathers stumble around unsettlingly. | |

During the Conviction arc of Berserk, Guts has a combination of Type 1, Type 3 and Type 4 when the horse that he kidnapped Farnese on gets possessed by one of the demons after him and tries to rape her, reminding him strongly of the rape of his lover Casca at Griffith-turned-Femto's hands during the Eclipse. This proceeds to set Guts off in a serious way, with ugly results for the once-helpful steed. During Guts and Casca's first time, Guts ends up having a Type 1 flashback to his traumatic childhood rape at the hands of Donovan, which almost leads to Casca getting strangled to death before Guts comes back to his senses. The rest of the scene sees the two more than making up for this. |

In Metro 2033, Artyom has incidents of hearing voices and seeing things that are not actually there. At some point while walking through the ruins of the surface, he comes across an old and rusty playground where he experiences a freaky flashback echo. After a couple of seconds, the vision vanishes as quickly as it came and Artyom notices a Dark One who was stalking him for a while who was likely behind all that crazy stuff. He runs into several more of these in Last Light, but without the presence of the Dark Ones. The first is the vision of the crashing plane that he and Pavel get sucked into in "Echoes", and he has a bunch more in "The Dead City" that are triggered by seeing ghosts. |

The Flash (2014): In "Nora", when Barry tells his daughter how to phase (meaning, to make oneself and possibly other objects intangible) in order to stop a plane from crashing into a building, Barry flashes back to Wells teaching him how to phase in "Tricksters" and repeats Wells's lines as he remembers them. This emphasizes how Barry is becoming like Wells in the sense of teaching another, younger speedster. In "The Last Temptation of Barry Allen Part 1", when Barry attacks the Speed Force appearing as his deceased mother by vibrating his hand through her heart, he realizes by quickly flashing back to his real mother's death that he resembles her killer and his archenemy, the Reverse-Flash. |

The Mrs. Hawking play series: In part IV: Gilded Cages, a combination of Type 3 and Type 4. Nathaniel's resemblance to his uncle the Colonel means the former often makes Mrs. Hawking think of the latter, who is dead in the present but features in the flashback. The failure of Mrs. Hawking's efforts in the past as detailed by the flashback is significant to how the case she's working on in the present time of part IV turns out. |

Ask White Pearl and Steven (almost!) anything: After witnessing Steven breaking down crying, blaming himself for Earl getting poofed protecting him, Rose flashes back to a memory of being in his position, with Blue Diamond standing over her in the same way she's standing in front of him. This spurs her to show him the compassion she wishes she was shown back then, as well as calling him Steven rather than White Diamond for the first time since she 'realized' who he was. | |

Dollhouse. A female doctor is doing a pelvic exam on Echo, causing her to flashback to kissing that same doctor when she was also one of the 'dolls' for the amusement of a client. Echo is understandably startled by the flashback, as all memories of what the girls do as a doll are (supposed to be) wiped from their memory after every session. | |

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore asks Harry, "Is there something you wish to tell me?" in such a way that it's suggested he knows whatever the "something" is and is trying to give Harry the opportunity to come clean himself. Later on he asks Tom Riddle the same thing in the diary flashback. Both Harry and Tom respond with the same "No, sir, nothing." The film takes this further and makes the exchanges word-for-word identical: |

In Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, Hikari had such a thing when her father asked her "Why do you have to be like that," which caused her to hear and see visions of the people who abused her in the past asking her nearly identical questions, turning her into the Empty Shell we see at the start of the game. In reality, her father was just expressing genuine concern over her deteriorating sanity. The problem? Just as mentioned, that exact phrase was her Trauma Button phrase since each of her tormentors asked that when they heaped in abuse, so she actually thought that her father was joining in too. And if this isn't depressing enough, remember that she is also a Daddy's Girl who uses him as her Living Emotional Crutch. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero | |

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, around 85% through the main storyline, after Snake attempted to chase down the Peace Walker whilst riding the Boss's horse, said horse breaks it's back after being thrown off an extremely steep hill, Snake (i.e. The Player) is then forced to euthanize said horse, before (or after, depending on how long the player takes to pull the trigger) Snake has flashbacks to the climax of Operation: Snake Eater, in which he was forced to finish off the Boss, whom was helplessly suffering from wounds attained in her previous battle with Snake, with a single round from her Patriot. Metal Gear Solid 4 has Snake dream about his mission in Shadow Moses from Metal Gear Solid, which is not only playable, but the sequence also doubles as a Nostalgia Level with gameplay elements and graphics directly used from the Playstation version! |

Yugi tries to get through to a possessed Jounouchi by giving him Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, and Marik immediately commands him to throw it into the sea to keep it away from Yugi. Jounouchi promptly flashes back to the beginning of his friendship with Yugi, when Yugi defended him from a bully even after Jounouchi stole a piece of the Puzzle and threw it in a pool. Even the possession can't get Jounouchi to do that again. | |

A staple of Last Res0rt: Veled has a flashback to Cypress's mother, which (apprently) convinces Veled to spare Cypress. Cypress has one herself (explained here), but backfires given that instead of jumping into a pool of water (ala the flashback)... she jumps into some flesh-dissolving nanotech! Jason ends up having one to his own mother, with similar structure to Veled's earlier flashback. |

During the first half of Space Pirate Mito, Aoi keeps having fractured flashbacks (maybe that should be a trope) from 11 years ago, when his mother took him into space and they were attacked by Ranban. The flashback is finally shown in full when he witnesses Mito and Ranban fighting in a similar fashion, and ends up subconsciously wounding Mito, due to not recognizing her true form all those years ago. | |
