In Medias Res	comment	"Into the middle of things" â€” taken from the poet Horace, this refers to the technique of beginning a narrative poem at a late point in the story, after much action has already taken place. Homer makes use of this trope in The Iliad, thereby making it Older Than Feudalism — and Aristotle diagnosed it in Poetics, making it one of the first identified tropes. When used in TV it's generally a preamble to How We Got Here, in which the action starts at the middle or end of the story before quickly flashing back to the real beginning. In medias res is a quick and easy way to have an action sequence at the beginning of an episode; for this and related tricks, see Action Prologue. Both in medias res and Action Prologue are also quite common in Video Games for the same reason, and to allow the player to get into the actual gameplay fairly quickly without them having to sit through long expository cut-scenes. This is a very common trope for biographies â€” specifically the author will start with a taste of some part of the subject's life that everyone's familiar with, then jump back to the mundanities of their heritage and upbringing. Frequently, the first act of an in medias res opening will end with a situation that looks like it will lead to the death of a major character. It usually doesn't. See Lost in Medias Res for what happens when this is done badly. Compare Anachronic Order. Often inspires someone later on to remark: "Isn't this where we came in?"

In Medias Res / int_1331990c	comment	Doubly subverted (or played straight, depending on how you look at it) in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The first episode begins with an exciting battle scene, but that turns out to be All Just a Dream. The rest of Episode 1 and the next several episodes tell the story in a linear fashion, with an occasional flashback. Episode 10 explains Homura's backstory, and how and why she's looping through time. The first episode was not the start of the story; it was only the start of the current timeline. The beginning battle scene from the first episode was not a dream; it really happened in a previous timeline.

The first half of the book alternates between telling the backstory and following the immediate aftermath of the first attack; around halfway through, the backstory catches up with the present and from there it's a straight shot to the end.

Despite their odd outfits, it's hinted that they come from a more modern, normal world, and Wirt alludes to a few events that happened before their arrival, but it's only in the ninth and penultimate episode that we get a Whole Episode Flashback. (Which notably reveals that, just before finding themselves in the forest, they were drowning, implying that the Unknown is the afterlife and/or some kind of dream world).

You only have a very brief explanation of how the controls work before you, as Princess Monica Raybrandt, have to fend off the attackers with sword and magic. It's only after the final fate of the combatants is decided that the narrative calms down and introduces you to the main protagonist, Max, in the present time.

In Medias Res / int_2a43dd91	comment	Uncharted is quite fond of this trope: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves begins with Nathan Drake having survived a train crash in the middle of a snowstorm, with the game's earlier chapters showing all the events that led to that moment. Most notably, you get to play the start of the game a second time with new additions now that the full context of the scene has been revealed. Uncharted: Golden Abyss starts with a sequence where Nate calls Dante an asshole that ends with him seemingly killed. We then cut to the start of the story where Nate and Dante first start the adventure as (bickering) chums. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End begins with Nate and Sam in a boat at night during a storm running away from bad guys on the way to an island. A notable instance as it was only inserted at the beginning because the sequence it was in was too long with it included; when you catch up to that part of the story, the game only features a few brief flashes of the original sequence before cutting to what happens afterward.

The second chapter goes back to the start of what got an assassin like him involved in something most assassins would want to avoid like the plague. The third chapter takes off where the first chapter ended, the fourth chapter takes off where the second chapter ended, and so forth. And the next-to-last chapter ends right where the first chapter starts. Vlad lampshades this in the narration, apologizing for starting his story in the middle, while explaining that that's pretty much where it starts. Jhereg does the same, with three timelines; one at the end of the story, one in the middle, and one starting with Vlad's childhood. The earliest timeline catches up to the middle timeline only at the very end of the book, shortly after the middle timeline catches up to the most recent.

Interestingly, the first appearance of Batman in Detective Comics also had the character introduced fully-fledged without backstory. Notably, Batman's origin (i.e., his parents getting killed) wasn't given any direct screen time until the Justice League Unlimited episode "For the Man Who Has Everything", though episodes of the Animated Series (e.g. "The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne") and Mask of the Phantasm regularly hinted at it. Justice League itself also qualifies. Aside from Superman, who had an origin story built into Superman: The Animated Series, and the Martian Manhunter, whose origin is worked into the plot of the first episode, the cast is introduced without backstory and they already know each other (except Wonder Woman).

During his 7th year, the challenges force him to grow up, and the awesome qualities hinted at before come to the forefront. However, Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness skips over this Character Development completely: The fanfic starts with him having already grown up, and he then gains everyone's respect over the course of a single speech in the first chapter. Presumably, Thanfiction just wasn't interested in that part of the story, but it produces rather a disconnect from canon. Luckily, the fic's main story starts immediately after that Handwave.

The player character is knocked off his feet by a scripted shell and loses consciousness. The screen then goes black and it takes you back eight days to D-Day where the narrative begins. The third game, Hell's Highway, starts with the protagonist, Baker and his friend, Hartsock, navigating through an abandoned hospital in the midst of a German attack. Baker gets knocked on the ground by a falling bomb, and Hartsock watches as Baker is seemingly executed in front of him. Cut to the beginning, when they first landed. Turns out that the gunshots of Baker's "execution" were actually him shooting at hallucinations.

In Medias Res / int_44715363	comment	As opposed to the manga and first anime, Yu-Gi-Oh! did this by beginning the series with Yugi already solving the Millennium Puzzle and having Yami Yugi merged with him, with later episodes filling in the gaps. Part of the reason this was done was, not unlike the case for the Fullmetal Alchemist animes, the first anime had already covered the events of the first seven volumes of the manga, and the second begun during the eighth during the Duelist Kingdom arc. As a result, the more important arcs from the early volumes were instead covered later as streamlined versions, while the story of Yugi solving the Puzzle was almost entirely skipped. In fact, that actual scene of Yugi solving it wouldn't even be shown until The Movie.

In Medias Res / int_5921531c	comment	Persona 5: The game begins after your entire Badass Crew has assembled and you're seemingly robbing a Casino. After a Downer Beginning sequence where the Protagonist is captured by police, the game flashes back over 6 months earlier, as the Protagonist recounts his How We Got Here tale to a public prosecutor. The sequel, Persona 5 Strikers, opens similarly: we see Joker jumping atop buildings in Shibuya, where he encounters a helicopter shadow with a minigun, whom he takes down, leading to a tutorial sequence where you tear through a horde of hundreds of shadows before transitioning to the beginning of the story. We learn the context a few hours later: that scene is part of an operation to demolish a barrier blocking the way to the first Jail Monarch's lair.

In Medias Res / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale has many events that already occurred before the game begins. The war between humans and monsters already happened and the monsters losing explains why they all live underground. Chara stumbles into the underground and is adopted by Toriel and Asgore and then dies sometime later to let Asriel absorb their soul and use the combined power to slaughter the humans on the surface. Asriel backs out at the last minute, gets fatally wounded by the humans, and dies when he returns home, which causes his ashes to be sprinkled on the golden flowers he fell on. Alphys infects the flowers with determination (a substance only humans can create naturally without being killed by it), which causes Asriel to be reborn without a soul. Asriel, now calling himself Flowey, becomes a psychopath due to being unable to have or feel empathy and he also discovers he can rewind time via saving and loading. By that time, the game starts from there.

In Medias Res / int_62126ef1	comment	The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes begins by skipping over the origin stories of Iron Man, the Hulk, Ant-Man, and The Wasp, as well as the stories of how Thor and Hawkeye became crimefighters. Wordof God says the writers assumed that viewers would already know Iron Man's and the Hulk's origins from their respective movies, that Thor's heroic training didn't seem as important to depict as his arrogance and leave from Asgard did, and that detailing how Ant-Man and Wasp got their powers so early on in the series would leave the two of them with less time to impress viewers who never read their comics. Captain America's introductory episode begins after he became an American icon. However, it does open with a newsreel recounting his origin story, for the convenience of viewers who did not know it. This trope is averted for Black Panther and Ms. Marvel, whose origin stories occur during the first season instead of before it, and The Vision, whose birth occurs during season two.

"Groundhog Day" Loop episode "Monday" - the pre-titles teaser shows Mulder dying of gunshot wounds before he and Scully get blown up in a bank heist.

Iron Man started off with Tony Stark riding in a Humvee with soldiers, established his amiable playboy charm, and then had the caravan attacked by the Ten Rings people. Flash back 36 hours, and we learn more about him and how he got there. It's not a point in the middle of the film, though, just near-beginning. Captain America: The First Avenger starts off with explorers finding the HYDRA bomber that Captain America crash-landed in the Arctic, as well as his shield and (as it turns out) his frozen body. The film then begins proper after that, acting as a feature-length example of the trope, and only the ending follows the opening scene. Thor begins with Jane Foster and her crew accidentally ramming into something with their RV, which turns out to be Thor having been banished to Earth. The next half hour or so then goes back to detail Thor's life and the events that led to his banishment.

The episode "Double Dare" opens with Arthur and Buster in the school bathroom, trying to pull Francine in through the window, with absolutely no context whatsoever beyond Arthur's narration. It eventually catches up with itself about two-thirds of the way in. "Arthur and the Big Riddle" starts at the very end, with Arthur being hoisted aloft and cheered by his classmates, clutching a handful of chocolate sticks. He cryptically asks the viewers, "When is it better to lose than to win?" Cue episode-long flashback.note The answer is: when you could potentially keep on winning and winning and winning forever. In the intro to "Take a Hike, Molly", Binky is pleading Molly to finally say something. This turns out to be a scene from before the climax of the episode, where the Tough Customers want Molly to finally apologize for all the trouble she's put them through on their nature hike.

The events of the story proceed in chronological order, but it begins with Bruce dreaming of the night his parents died, starting halfway through the dream and with his mother halfway through a sentence, and ends with him having the same dream again, stopping halfway through a sentence at the exact point in the dream where the story started. Batwoman (Rebirth) begins six weeks into Kate Kane and Julia Pennyworth's hunt for a new bioweapon and its suppliers, without first showing their initial meeting or prior missions. In Batgirl: Year One: The first issue begins with Barbara Gordon facing Killer Moth and his goons. From that point onward, the story alternates "How-we-got-here" flashbacks with fight scenes for two issues. Issue #6 starts with Batgirl and Black Canary trying to botch James Gordon's kidnapping. The next scenes cut to Killer Moth and his partner plotting and carrying out James' kidnapping, and then the story cuts back to both heroines giving chase.

Also, as the adventure moves forward, Kratos' backstory is revealed in medias res.

The beginning of the movie seems to be showing the first time that Joel and Clementine first met, and then fast forwards a few years where their relationship has actually gotten bitter and acrimonious. It turns out that they first met each other at a party, and their earlier meeting on the train was the first time they had seen each other after having their memories of each other erased.

It begins with Karl frantically running and getting into a canoe for reasons we don't yet understand, then cuts to the Losties, being led across the island by Jack for a dynamite demonstration. This allows an episode which is mostly a lead-up to the action of the finale to begin with a chase and an explosion.

The issue then segues into a flashback showing their latest battle's scenes, whereupon the proper story starts. Krypton No More starts out with Superman trying to demolish a factory. In the next page the story jumps back in time and tells what happened previously and explains his actions. The Great Phantom Peril: The final issue opens with a page showing the Phantom Zone inmates vandalizing Metropolis. The next pages narrate how and why they escaped from the Zone before delivering the conclusion to the story. Reign of Doomsday begins with Steel getting pummeled by Doomsday, then it cuts to Steel learning about The Death of Superman several years ago, and then it narrates how Steel heard about Doomsday going on a rampage and suited up fifteen minutes ago. The Plague of the Antibiotic Man: The first issue begins with Superman and Flash fighting Nam-Ek in Central City as blaming him for a plague. After three pages, the story rewinds to explain how they got there. DC Retroactive Superman: The first issue opens with Superman being struck down by a meteorite after "a series of bizarre, impossible calamities".

When you select "Save and Quit," the Prince even says, "Very well. I'll continue my story from here later." Note that the storyline-as-narration leads to some funny Fridge Logic when you realize, based on the Prince's lines when you have to continue, his story to Farah must have included lines like, "And then I was killed by the sand monster! ...No, wait a second..." The Prince himself lampshades this. When you die for real he says "No, wait. That's not how it happened. Let me start again." Lampshaded again when he concedes that he might actually be mad after all. And he was killed by the sand monster anyway (temporarily), so it makes sense that he's a little confused.

Over the course of the film, their stories are interrupted every twenty minutes or so with flashbacks of growing up together in Concord, contrasting who they used to be with who they have become. With this tool, the audience sees how much they have grown, like seeing Amy as a spoiled, immature, precocious child in a flashback before flipping back to show how she has matured into an accomplished, pragmatic, driven young woman.

Later we did get a couple things about his past fleshed out, but it wasn't until the third season that we actually saw the entire story of how he got his powers and decided to become a hero. The 1967 Spider-Man cartoon began similarly. The second season premiere, on the other hand, specifically kicked off with "The Origin of Spider-Man". Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends went a full season without origins for the titular trio, either individually or as a group; their personal origins were the focus of the three-episode second season, and "The Origin of the Spider-Friends" appeared midway through season three. The Spectacular Spiderman saved its origin episode for the second-to-last episode of the first season.

The rest of the Straw Hats arrive a little over a week later, and not only are there flashbacks about the context of the first scene, but it turns out that Sanji went missing in the time between when the two groups of Straw Hats got to Zou. There's so many flashbacks that there's not actually a whole lot of present-day conflict in the arc. The anime itself begun like this, where in the first episodes, Luffy helped Coby Took a Level in Badass and helps him become a Marine, and him recruiting Zoro from his execution. Luffy's origins aren't explored till the fourth episode which shows how Luffy became a pirate and got his Devil Fruit.

In Medias Res / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy often embraces this trope: Final Fantasy II starts off in the middle of a civil war between an empire and a resistance force. In Final Fantasy IV, the player joins a captain who is returning from a slaughter, about which he and his men feel deep regret. Final Fantasy VI opens with two soldiers and an amnesiac attacking a town. You're provided some exposition, but the background of this scene is unclear. It's made all the more baffling because you control the bad guys. Final Fantasy VII starts with Cloud and AVALANCHE leaping off a train, beating up guards, and infiltrating a power plant to blow it up. You get some tidbits of information in the elevator, but you don't know what's going on or why until the mission is over. Final Fantasy X begins this way, with the heroes gathered around a fire near the end of Yuna's pilgrimage. The first words are "Listen to my story," and playing the game then proceeds to tell us How We Got Here. Final Fantasy X-2 begins in the middle of a mission to recover Yuna's stolen Songstress dressphere. We never actually see her joining the Gullwings, though they do explain why she joined them. Final Fantasy XIII has this in spades. The game drops you right into the middle of its world, starting off with a large-scale action scene. It fills in exactly what is happening later (if the player does the assigned reading). Final Fantasy XIII-2 follows suit by starting Noel's side of the story in the middle and filling the beginning in at the beginning of the game. DLC expansions also serve as the beginning to the stories well underway parallel to the main story's progression. Final Fantasy XV opens up with an older-looking Noctis and his party, in regal gear, fighting a mysterious fire-wielding figure on a throne before the game fades to the real opening and start of the game proper as a How We Got Here setup. Final Fantasy Tactics starts off with Ramza being a mercenary while he defends a church from bandits who are seeking to kidnap the princess. After the battle, he tells his allies on how he became a mercenary. From there, the game goes back a few years to show Ramza becoming a Squire at the academy and the events he witnessed.

Then they cut back to earlier that day, explaining how the boys and Doof happened to meet, and the wacky hijinks, emotional upheaval and bad-ass fight sequences that ensued. Once they finally catch up to the start, Phineas just fast forwards through his dialog while Ferb notices a sense of deja vu. Also kicks off the episode "Remains of the Platypus"; you'll definitely want to work out how we got to Karl-The-Squirrel-Man, Perry the Butler, Doofenshmirtz partying in his underwear, and the dancing Royal guards.

It seems like it's going to be a space adventure, until "Jerome" reveals the truth; his real name is Vincent, and an imposter, having taken over the identity of another man after being born "genetically inferior". The rest of the film is about Vincent's life, the discrimination he faced because he was a "God-child" (conceived naturally instead of by in vitro) and his decision to assume Jerome's identity in order to have a chance, and about a murder investigation that threatens to reveal Vincent's secret. The space mission isn't launched until the final moments of the film.

In Medias Res / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: While the Sonic Adventure 2 dark side story is told in chronological order, the hero side story begins In Medias Res. The game begins with Sonic already in G.U.N. custody, before escaping from a helicopter, fighting Shadow, then being recaptured. The next scene is the confrontation on Angel Island, where Knuckles shatters the Master Emerald. In the dark story, the scene on Angel Island is set before Sonic's capture by G.U.N.. Unlike most previous games with a story, Sonic Colors doesn't have a proper opening cutscene; the game throws you into the first two acts of the game, and a cutscene afterwards tells you how Sonic and Tails got to Eggman's amusement park. Heck, this even extends to the gameplay as well, since you don't get to give your file a name and profile until after you complete the first two levels. Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric starts off with Sonic being encircled by Lyric's robots and seemingly dying as they open fire — before cutting to yesterday. It then does this a second time by immediately throwing Sonic and friends into a chase for Eggman as the first gameplay segment. Notably, when the scene from the opening occurs proper, Sonic's perfectly fine afterwards and thus renders the drama from the start of the game as a pointless attention bait.

A well-known movie critic actually criticized the use of this trope in his review of the film, remarking that since we don't know who these people are or what their motives are, the action is disconnected and meaningless.

In Medias Res / int_c7fbcf5f	comment	Horatio Hornblower: The second instalment of this miniseries has two parts "Mutiny" and "Retribution". "Mutiny" starts with Commodore Sir Edward Pellew visiting Lieutenant Hornblower in prison, telling him and the audience that he's going to be tried for his life. The whole episode is told in one long Flash Back and explains How We Got Here, though not entirely from Hornblower's point of view. Importantly, we heard only half of the account of the mission. The episode ends in prison when Pellew and Hornblower finish their conversation. The next part, "Retribution", resumes the story where it was left, but this time it's more like In Medias Res with telling scenes of badly injured Lieutenants Bush and Kennedy who are being treated in the prison infirmary. The lieutenants face a trial and they continue to give a full account of what happened during the rest of their mission. It's being constantly interrupted with court testimonies and the judges' private discussion happening in the present. "Retribution" mixes this trope with Anachronic Order.

The book starts off in the middle of a battlefield where some of the would-be supporting cast are killed off. At the end of the first chapter, the main character dies. He then wakes up in his bed, believing it to all be a dream, but many of the events throughout the dream happening before the battle start happening in real life (such as his platoon receiving punishment for taking alcohol from storage) while other events are slightly different (a woman soldier who he met in the dream on the battlefield before he died takes part in the punishment in real life, while she simply watched in the dream). In reality, the main character is stuck in a time loop due to accidental exposure to alien technology.

It starts off with a dogfight involving Starbuck, Kat, and the titular Cylon Raider. The episode then details the days leading up to this dogfight, highlighting the deaths of several Nuggets, Starbuck's downward spiral and Kat's rapidly rising badass quotient, and the growing conflict between them. This is intercut with further scenes of the dogfight, building the tension each time as we go back to the main story, with the battle finally resolved in the end. Kat kills Scar, leading to Starbuck acknowledging her rival and delivering a tribute to the fallen pilots. Caprica seems to be going the same direction, with the episode "End of Line" beginning with Zoe driving a car while chased by police cars and helicopters.

"The Penal Zone", the first episode of season 3 opens with the two already confronting the Big Bad of the episode. In a twist this is not taking place at the present leading into a flashback, but rather a flashforward the present day Sam and Max are watching, leading the two to eventually do their best to bring themselves to the future that was previously being played at the beginning. However, the villain sees the future as well and manages to avert it, meaning the duo must now do things differently to defeat him than in the future vision they originally viewed.

It completely ignored the elementary portion and skipped straight to when the characters begin middle school.

Dialogue in subsequent scenes clarifies what exactly the party was (a press event for the company that bankrolls Seth's work) and why she was there (to get a story for Particle magazine), which is all that the audience might have been wondering about. Starting the film at this point is nicely paralleled by its closing, which comes immediately after she breaks down in tears upon mercy killing him.

When you reach the part of the plot where the helicopter chase happens, Walker, who is crazy and going crazier, apparently gets a huge sense of DÃ©jÃ Vu and says "This isn't right, we did this already!" According to the game's writer, a possible interpretation is this is because he did: Walker, Adams and Lugo actually died in the helicopter crash at the start of the game and the rest of the game is Walker's Dying Dream.

In Medias Res / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 begins in this fashion as the original pilot was aired as a backdoor pilot well over a year before the series actually began. When released on DVD the pilot episode was also released separately from the first season. Some attempt at a Welcome Episode is still made, but events from the pilot are still referred to by characters and are assumed to be known. Further many relevant events leading to the current state of the universe that would be known to any person actually residing in it are withheld until later in the series. This was done on purpose since the creator didn't want to tell the story of a world, but only a 5 year slice of a much bigger story.

In Medias Res / int_fb5ffb9e	comment	Record of Lodoss War does this with the first episode, and introduces the characters and plot in the second episode. With the exception of the narrated opening sequence on the War of the Gods, the plot of the episode takes place between Episodes 5 and 6. This really wasn't intentional. They produced the action-packed fifth episode first to convince backers to finance more, then produced the rest of the story, as the chronologically-first episode wasn't as exciting. For some reason DVD releases have kept the episodes in production order.

The comic then goes back a few weeks where the survivors just escaped from the farmhouse (Blood Harvest campaign) and being rescued by the military before they realize that the rescue isn't exactly a rescue. The comic then shows how the survivors escaped and made their way down south to where The Sacrifice campaign took place in the game and then catching back up to intro scenes from the first page of the comic.

In Medias Res / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Cause and Effect" starts off with the Enterprise exploding. It's eventually revealed that the Enterprise was trapped in a time loop along with a 23rd century Starfleet ship. "First Contact" (unrelated to the film) starts out in an alien hospital — the doctors are puzzling over Riker's odd physiology. It later turns out that Riker was conducting surface reconnaissance on a planet that had just become warp-capable, as the Federation was about to make first contact with them. He'd been injured in an accident and was brought unconscious to a hospital.
