You know the drill. "A love so strong it conquered time!" (and took no prisoners!) Two people love each other so deeply, and are tied by the Red String of Fate so closely, that they will meet and fall in love every time they reincarnate, lifetime after lifetime. This is a very old trope. It is common in stories for the Shōjo Demographic and Eastern romance, where belief in reincarnation is more prevalent. This is sometimes used in Western stories to give Star-Crossed Lovers a second, more successful go after things go south in the story, an alternative to Together in Death for making a Downer Ending into the good kind of ambiguous ending. It can get interesting if the genders reverse, or only one of theirs does. Infidelity is usually a complete non-issue; their love is so strong they may not even date at all until they meet their eternal better half... unless their reincarnating romance also tends to fall into the same bad habits. Things can get wonky if one of them is or becomes immortal: they end up having to wait decades or even centuries for their loved one to return in a strange form of Mayfly–December Romance. Only very rarely will one or the other honestly fall in love with a third person. Even more complications arise if one of the two has been brought Back from the Dead via a Resurrected Romance, rather than through reincarnation. Compare Amnesiac Lover, Reincarnation Friendship, and Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment. See also Eternal Love, which describes a different kind of very long-term relationship between immortals, and Time-Travel Romance, which uses time travel instead of reincarnation to bridge the temporal gap. When handled badly, this can very easily turn into Strangled by the Red String. |

The Dream Theater album Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory tells the story of Nicholas, who goes to a hypnotherapist to learn about his past life. In a previous life, Nicholas was Victoria, who was killed by her lover Julian in a murder-suicide. Then we find out that the hypnotherapist is the reincarnation of Victoria's other lover, Julian's brother Edward, who is the real killer of both Julian and Victoria. And the hypnotherapist kills Nicholas to continue the cycle. Maybe he's still angry that Victoria left him? | |

The Allan Quatermain novels Ancient Allan and Allan And The Ice Gods reveal that Allan and Luna, Lady Ragnall were previously Count Shabaka and Princess Amada in Ancient Egypt, and Wi and Laleela in prehistory. Interestingly, Quatermain and Lady Ragnall don't have a relationship in the present day; in fact Allan finds his vision of Shabaka and Amada so awkward that he avoids meeting her again. | |

In the Heralds of Valdemar, reincarnation is very common but normally there's no way of telling who was who, as very little memory remains. Virtuous humans may become horse-shaped Companions, who take names very similar to their human ones. Companions do not advertise their nature, though it's an Open Secret that they're spirits, partly to avoid just this trope although usually enough time has passed that their loved ones have also died. At least two people who were Friends with Benefits do incarnate as Companions and presumably continue to enjoy those benefits. In the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy Stefan is the reincarnation of Tylendel, who died tragically when both he and his lover Vanyel Ashkevron were teenagers and lingers as a ghost for a few years before being reborn. Seventeen years later, he successfully courts the now-legendary Herald-Mage Vanyel, by this time in his mid-thirties. |

Hawkman and Hawkgirl are reincarnated Egyptian nobles who were murdered but found each other again in modern times. In fact, thanks to an Nth Metal dagger, they are both cursed to meet, fall in love, and die tragically in each life. The battery of the Star Sapphires, who represent love on the emotional spectrum, even contains the crystallized remains of their original incarnations, which were found on Zamaron. The two are all but stated to be the personification of tragic love. The trope was deconstructed with Kendra Saunders, who was a reincarnation of Hawkgirl, but without the memories. Meanwhile, Carter Hall kept his memories. This led to him pushing a lot of expectations on her, and her pulling a Screw Destiny and seeing other people. They do eventually end up together again... before dying. Then are reincarnated again about a week later. |

The Tairen Soul series imply that Fey are reincarnated; Ellysetta dreams about a man she recognizes as Rain (her present-day lover) even though he looks different and has a different name. And the dreams are set several thousand years ago, before either of them were even born. (Typically for the trope, Ellysetta and Rain are canonically soulmates.) | |

The X-Men storyline Curse of the Mutants puts a dark spin in this trope when Rogue meets a Indian vampire named Damen, who believes she is the reincarnation of his beloved Rue (who was murdered by klansmen 200 years ago). Turns out he is incorrect, as Rue actually reincarnated as No-Girl, a female telepath reduced to nothing more to a Brain in a Jar. Damen is so horrified to discover her current state he offers to turn Rogue into a vampire while No-Girl is possessing her body to communicate with him, but she refuses since this isn't her real self. She then tries to absorb his memories only to find out Rogue's touch has no effect on him, meaning he is completely barren inside ever since he was turned into a vampire and his feelings aren't real. This revelation leads to Daven handing her his sword so she can put him out of his misery... | |

Sluggy Freelance: Torg is implied to be the reincarnation of a man named Lord Torgamus, the ruler of a long gone kingdom called Mercia. Lord Torgamus was married to a woman named Valerie. When he died in a weapon accident, Valerie, in her grief, accepted Lysindia's offer to become a vampire. When they meet again for the first time in the modern era, they instantly fall in love again. But this relationship ultimately ends in tragedy when Valerie insists on killing his friends, forcing Torg to stake her and leave her for the sun to finish off. In the ancient past, King Farahn and Queen Siphaniana were deeply obsessed with one another, and the schemes they came up with to control one another ultimately resulted in the destruction of their kingdom. In the modern day, King Farahn and Gwynn herself believe Gwynn to be Queen Siphaniana's reincarnation. King Farahn gives Gwynn power and protects her for this reason, but also keeps her under a tight grip. And since Gwynn has not inherited Queen Siphaniana's obsession with King Farahn, she has been finding his possessiveness difficult to deal with. |

When he sees Hawkgirl's current reincarnation Shiera Sanders, Karen (Bumblebee) gets so caught up in the love story, she goes overboard trying to help them get together. When he learns that the villain Hath-Set is destined to track them down and kill them once they meet, he decides to Screw Destiny and deliberately avoid Shiera so that she can live a long and happy life, even if he can't be part of it. | |

Married Thrice To Salted Fish has an unusual example in that only one half of the couple gets reincarnated and they do it three times within the span of just a handful of years: the first time as a terminally ill nobleman who lives for only about a year after getting married, the second time as a powerful general who marries the same man his first reincarnation was married to and lives for a couple more years before dying in battle, and the third and final time as the Emperor who pulls some political strings to be able to marry his love a third time. | |

Haven has a one-sided example, with Audrey and Nathan being the Official Couple, and two of Audrey's past selves being drawn to him when he travels back in time. Audrey eventually uses this Love Transcends Space Time thing to get around her Heroic Sacrifice: she couldn't come back as Audrey, but comes back as Paige, knowing that she and Nathan will fall in love all over again. Interestingly, Audrey's original personality, Mara, doesn't even like him, though she retains enough of Audrey in her Split-Personality Takeover arc to not kill him. | |

Variation in Stray Little Devil. It's directly stated that the main character is the reincarnation of the devil king that her grandmother met and fell in love with. It's not explicitly said they were lovers and that the main character is in fact her own grandfather; but the angel she falls in love with is the reincarnation of the Devil King's rival; the Angel Queen. | |

Shin Megami Tensei: In Shin Megami Tensei I, this is what Yuriko thinks the Hero and the Heroine are, with herself being Lilith, while the player character is supposedly Adam while the heroine is Eve. Gale and Jenna Angel, the Final Boss of the first game are ultimately revealed to be this in Digital Devil Saga, after a complicated set of reveals. Jenna Angel and David Gale were lovers, and David was killed in Angel's arms. David's soul/data went to the sun after death, where it was extracted by the Karma Society and placed in the Junkyard as a combat AI. |

Kanda and Alma of D.Gray-Man. They were lovers in their past life until they were killed by Akuma and they meet again in their next incarnation. They weren't "reborn" in the natural way, though. After their deaths, some scientists transplanted their brains into artificial bodies as part of a failed super Exorcist program. And to make it more complicated, Kanda's girlfriend was brought back to life in a male body. | |

In Sotto Voce is a Hyrule Warriors inspired Zelda/Impa fic that goes with this theme. The Zelda franchise has shown that Impa is one of the few characters that is near consistently reincarnated, though she doesn't appear in all games. The fanfic goes on to show that Impa's relationship to Zelda depends on what that particular Zelda needs, be it a friend, mentor, maternal figure, guard, companion, lover, etc. The current Zelda and Impa happen to be of the rare romantic incarnation. | |

Discussed in The Student Prince: Merlin wonders if Arthur, Gwen and Lance are destined to have the same Love Triangle as their mythological counterparts. It's averted, of course, since this is an Arthur/Merlin fic - unless you assume that their previous incarnations were also in love with each other. | |

In the modern day, Rune has reincarnated as a boy, but still loves Yamato dearly, even though Yamato doesn't realise it until he's almost raped by Rune .

Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior: It's implied that Shen and Wendy's previous incarnations were more than just teacher and student, judging by how easily they get close to each other in such a short amount of time (though Shen does admit Wendy is "different" from her previous incarnations). If that's true, nothing ever came of it because Shen was always fated to die against Yan-lo. When Wendy says Screw Destiny and saves Shen from his fate, Yan-lo is destroyed, and they are finally able to enjoy their last life together. | |

Happens in some Les Misérables fic that is set in the 20th or 21st century. Oftentimes the younger characters, namely Marius, Cosette, Eponine, Enjolras, Gavroche, and the rest of the Amis del'ABC are reincarnated as students in any given major city. Some may dream or remember the barricade of 1832. Often these fics still use the love triangle with Marius, Cosette, and Eponine, but resolve the situation by having Eponine end up with Enjolras this time around. | |

The Night World has this halfway. Vampires who are soulmates with a human tend to find that their soulmate is an "Old Soul", a person who reincarnates. In the case of Thierry and his soulmate, this is confirmed, and in the case of Ash and Mary-Lynette, we just get the implication, as he notes that both Mary-Lynette and another old soul have the same look of age in their eyes, and then walks off happily. In theory, there is probably at least one pair of two old souls, but the readers aren't shown any. This is slightly different than their The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle novel counterparts. | |

Angel Sanctuary: A fallen angel and a water spirit had a history together...and were reincarnated as the siblings Setsuna and Sara Mudou. Angst ensues, as they cannot help themselves. Another example would be Lucifer and Alexiel, although it is only the latter who constantly gets reincarnated, while the former stands by her side as an amnesiac Empathic Weapon. |

Betrayal Knows My Name has Luka and Yuki, complicated by the fact that as a Duras (basically a high-level demon), Luka is immortal and must wait a long time for Yuki to be reincarnated. When Yuki is reborn, it's as a man instead of a woman - which doesn't seem to faze Luka in the slightest, but Yuki is also reborn without any memories of his past life, including Luka. | |

Kind of the central premise of Katherine Kerr's Deverry series. Only the point is to break the cycle. 'Cuz the lovers tend to mess up a lot along the way. Interestingly, of the original Love Triangle, the man who originally won then lost the girl is the one who is not reincarnated but becomes immortal but not unaging, and so is too old for the girl each time she reincarnates (and repeatedly falls in love with his rival). Once the cycle is finally broken, both he and she die of old age and are now reincarnated and Happily Married. It's the other guy who's now unnaturally long-lived... And there's the girl's brother who keeps getting reincarnated. Who also deeply loved her. |

Deconstructed in White Devil of the Moon. Nanoha, who in this fic is the reincarnation of Princess Serenity, is a completely different person, to the point of despising her past self as irresponsible and selfish, especially with regards to her romance with Endymion. Nanoha, as a result, has nothing in common with Mamoru, resulting in their "date" going poorly and ending up with Fate after completely rejecting her past life. The author touches on this in an author's note. | |

Played for immense tragedy in The Seven Deadly Sins: During the ancient war, Meliodas and Elizabeth were cursed by their respective leaders, The Demon King and The Supreme Deity for falling in love with each other. Meliodas was cursed to live forever and never die no matter what. Elizabeth was cursed to reincarnate into someone who will grow up exactly like her except for her memories, and if she ever gets her memory back, she will die within three days' time, and the cycle will begin anew. Even if Meliodas tries to distance himself from her, she will fall in love with him and will invariably die while Meliodas can only watch. | |

In an episode of Blood Ties (2007), Vicki is hired by a teenaged boy who's looking for his reincarnated lover. They always die together in every life, and they have a deal to meet up at a certain tree in the next; the tree has been replaced by a shopping mall, and he can't find his lover. Turns out the car accident that killed her past self put his past self in a coma for several years before he actually died, so she was reborn years before he was; since he never showed, she's married to another man and is pregnant with his child. The boy tries to kill his lover so that they can start over with a new tree and get it right this time, but Vicki and the woman are able to convince him to move on, arguing that maybe the reason they always keep dying is that they're not really meant to be together. | |

While they were not always aware of the Red String of Fate which bound them, in most of their lives they would end up reunited, often as spouses (though which was husband and which wife varied). These relationships were rarely harmonious, but they did occur whenever they both were reborn close enough to each other for them to reunite. | |

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Played straight, averted and even zigzagged. Straight: Miura and Natsuno, as well as Takatoshi and Okino become couples at the end, much like their original Project Ark counterparts. There's also an one-sided example with Ryoko Shinonome, who has a crush on Tetsuya Ida (both in 2188 and in the virtual world), which sorta extends to the Ida's younger self, Shu. Averted: Shu and Tomi, who were a couple in the previous loop, end up with Yuki and Nenji respectively in the current one. Zigzagged: Juro Izumi and Chihiro Morimura were both in love, and it's implied this was the case for their original Project Ark selves as well, Major Izumi and Professor Morimura (if Gouto is to be believed). However, Juro Kurabe and Iori Fuyusaka, their current loop versions, end up with completely different people by the end. |

Homestuck: Zig-zagged. The Trolls all have ancestors which they share genes with. Many of the ancestors' relationships manifest in different forms in their descendants.note Darkleer spared the Disciple, and in the present Equius and Nepeta are in a pale-rom. The Sufferer and the Disciple were in a relationship powerful enough to transcend the quadrants, but in the present Nepeta's crush on Karkat is unrequited. The Condesce had a crush on the Psiionic prolonging his life and suffering with her power, Sollux and Feferi were in a relationship. The Dolorosa was the Sufferer's surrogate mother, Kanaya tends to act motherly towards Karkat. This is invoked where Vriska and Eridan read about their ancestors relationship and try to emulate them, but it quickly falls apart. Mindfang had a relationship with the Summoner who killed her, Vriska attempts to emulate this with Tavros and she kills him. The biggest connection would be the Maryam-Serket one. Aranea and Porrim were in a relationship that ended after a year, which Aranea doesn't want to talk about The Dolorosa was raped by Mindfang in the backstory causing Mindfang to become infatuated with her, and Kanaya has a one sided crush on Vriska. | |

Seriously deconstructed in No Chance for Fate. It's pretty much stated that Usagi and Mamoru ceased to exist when their past memories overwrote their personalities, thus why they call themselves Serenity and Endymion in the future. Pluto worked very hard (and succeeded) in preventing this from happening again. She notes Usagi and Mamoru coming together on their own as themselves comes over far more naturally than the memory-driven events. | |

Absolutely applies in Neverwinter Nights 2 Mask of the Betrayer. The PC is carrying around the spirit of Akachi, who tried to bring down the god of death to save his beloved Nefris, who survived to the present and split off an aspect of her personality to form Safiya (curiously Safiya got all of the parts of Nefris that Akachi loved best), whose romance is implied to be the canonical plot ending for a male spirit eater. | |

Happens with Solars and Lunars in Exalted. All Celestial Exalted reincarnate after death (well, it's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it), and every Solar is bonded to a specific Lunar and vice versa. Such pairs are referred to as mates. Despite the name, it doesn't have to be a romantic relationship; any strong emotional bond can apply, ranging from close friendship to intense hatred. If they're even remotely compatible with one another, though, chances are good that it'll be this. Of course, this isn't exclusive to Solars and Lunars; all Celestial Exalted have memories from past lives, and it's entirely possible to run into a reincarnated lover. There are also a number of subversions. For instance, each Lunar may be bonded with a Solar Exaltation and serve as that incarnation's boon companion... but half those shards have been corrupted by the Neverborn or the Yozi, meaning their mate is now bent towards hideous atrocities. However, this has been reconstructed, in that Abyssals (the ones corrupted by the Neverborn) can fight for and protect their Lunar mate without suffering Resonance, and it's been suggested a number of Infernals (the ones corrupted by the Yozis) will drop their masters' plans like a hot potato once they run into their Lunar mates. Also, the most outstanding example in canon for a Solar/Lunar pair reunited by time is Swan and Lilith. Thing is, Lilith lived through the intervening time period, and remembers everything that Desus, Swan's past incarnation, did to her... Alchemical Exalted likewise get a background that allows them to remember the past lives their heroic soul lived before it was put into a Champion of the State. It often allows them to reunite with old friends and lovers, and helps to resist the encroachment of Clarity. |

Played with to hell and back in A Tale of Thousand Stars. Tian has gotten Torfun’s heart from a transplant. Torfun loved Phupha, but he only saw her as a sister. Tian feels confused about whether his feelings are Torfun’s or his own. Phupha feels confused about loving Tian who’s so similar to Torfun. The more rational characters pour cold water all over any reincarnation mysticism. Yes, Torfun loved Phupha, but so does Tian. And unlike Torfun, Phupha loves Tian back. Tian’s life is his own, and though he has honored Torfun’s memory, he isn’t Torfun and has to live for himself. Phupha doesn’t just love what he sees of Torfun in Tian, he loves Tian and wants to be with him, not her. | |

In Fright Night (1985) the vampire Jerry Dandrige believes that Amy Peterson is the reincarnation of a woman he loved long ago (mainly because Amy exactly resembles her, as shown by the woman's portrait). The movie doesn't make it clear whether he's correct or not, but the fact that he dies at the end indicates he was wrong. | |

Subverted in a story in the British girls' comic Misty, where a girl discovers that in her previous life she committed suicide to escape a forced marriage. Her would-be husband has also reincarnated and is looking for her; having full memories of their previous lives and the evil plan that he was to make her part of. He's none too happy when his intended "bride" isn't quite so fond of him as he expects. | |

At the end of Prehistoric Women, David confesses his love for Saria, but she moves away and tells David that her love for him will always remain. She leaves David alone in the rain, along with the statue of the white rhino. As if hypnotized, David moves forward and touches the rhino's horn as lightning strikes. Returned to his own time, David rejoins his Native Guide and they return to camp. David is surprised at how little time has passed for the guide. Once back at the camp, David wonders whether it really was a dream or he had really traveled back in time to reunite a lost African tribe and end a million-year-old legend. As he cleans himself, he discovers the white rhino's brooch in his pocket, proving some truth in his experience. David is then asked to greet some people from London. To his amazement, one of the guests is the image of Saria. The guest then introduces herself as Sarah. | |

One fan-setting for Mutants & Masterminds combined the backstory of Scarab (Freedom City's Expy of Hawkman) with that of Red Phoenix (a reincarnating Magical Girl Warrior from Silver Age Sentinels), giving them a Carter-and-Shiera-style Reincarnation Romance. The twist is that in the Silver Age this became a May–December Romance, with the middle-aged Scarab trying to hide his feelings for the 20something reincarnation of his lost love from the Golden Age. Then in the Modern Age, Red Phoenix finds herself in a similar situation with the "new" Scarab. | |

The X-Files: "The Field Where I Died" has a scene in which Mulder, under hypnosis, recounts that he, his sister, Scully, and Cancer Man have been reincarnated into each other's lives over several lifetimes and are always related, and Cancer Man is always evil. Mulder's supposed soul-mate-in-every-life is a woman named Melissa who also channels a guy called Sidney and Lily, a little girl. It's kind of weird that they are supposed to be that close all the time, and here she's one-off character who's hard to relate to. This kind of falls apart when Mulder talks about being a Jewish woman and Cancer Man being a concentration camp guard in WW2. Being in his fifties/sixties in the '90s means Cancer Man would have already been alive during the war, as either a child or a teenager and could not have been in the big evil guy in the concentration camp. However, there's also no stated rule that reincarnation is strictly linear in this case — it's possible he was reincarnated into a body that was born several years before the last one dies. Timey-wimey. Inverted in the episode "Hellbound". A serial killer has been skinning his victims and claimed 4 of them so far. Assisted by the local detective Van Allen, Reyes investigated the case. Looking into the archives, they found that similar incidents have occurred every generation; each time 4 victims, all skinned. Going as far as they could, they found an earliest known case where there was only one victim skinned by 4 robbers. The detective turned out to be the killer, and the original victim - but he couldn't let go of his resentment, it tainted all his future incarnations and always seeking to commit revenge on his tormentors across lifetimes. As added bonus, in his dying breath he remarked how Reyes 'always fails to stop the murders', as Reyes is the reincarnation of the sheriff who failed to solve the case. |

All Harusumi wants is for her to stop treating him like royalty and for their relationship to return to how it was; Takao, on the other hand, is convinced that Harusumi is really yearning to meet the reincarnation of Veronica's Love Interest, Glen, and that when Glen's reincarnation finally appears, she'll lose Harusumi. | |

Just like in the original series, the Fushigi Yuugi DS game Suzaku Ibun can potentially put a spin on this trope. If the Player Character Madoka falls in love with a guy from the Book World, she will generally have to leave him behind when she goes back home... unless the player gathers enough points to unlock a "Reincarnation Ending", in which the chosen boyfriend will be sent to Earth and be reunited with Madoka. | |

The Vampire Diaries: Stefan and Elena's relationship on the show series is primarily built from this trope, mostly because of their novel counterparts, which feature Stefan/Elena as the destined pairing in the books tied together by a silver cord of destiny, indicating that the two are soul mates and have reincarnated lifetime after lifetime. This is even more emphasized in season five, when it is discovered that they are spawned from an ancient true love story of over 2,000 + years between their ancestors, Silas/Amara. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine plays with this trope occasionally with Dax and the other Trills, humanoid aliens with slug-like symbionts. When one host body grows old and dies, the slug can be implanted in a new host, bringing along the accumulated memories and personalities of the old hosts, to merge with that of the new host. A couple of times, slugs who fell in love with one generation of hosts will meet up generations later and fall in love again, occasionally with gender switches. Leads to Star Trek's first girl-girl kiss in "Rejoined". | |

The Legend of Zelda uses this with the implied romance between Link and Zelda. The backstory of Skyward Sword reveals that Link and Zelda's spirits are eternally bound by the goddess Hylia's promise to her chosen hero. Unfortunately, the Dying Curse of the demon king Demise means that they are also fated to be plagued by some incarnation of his hatred, which is typically the series' recurring Big Bad, Ganon. Hyrule Warriors takes this to its logical conclusion by making Link and Zelda fall in Love at First Sight. Unfortunately this means Cia, the sorceress who developed her own crush on Link after observing him throughout history, falls into despair upon realizing she has no chance of winning his heart... resulting in her declaring war on Hyrule so she can take the Hero by force and remove the competition. |

Strongly implied to have taken place in Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden. Takiko aka Genbu no Miko dies after summoning Genbu and using her wishes to save the country of Hokkan. Her lover and Genbu Senshi Uruki becomes Emperor Rimudo, reigning wisely over the Hokkan lands until his death at the age of 100-something and never taking a consort or mistress (His succesor is a descendant of his cousin Firuka and her lover, the Genbu Senshi Tegu). The people of Hokkan were so grateful to Takiko and Rimudo that they endlessly prayed for them to find love and peace in their next lives... And the last pages of the manga show a boy and a girl who are all but stated to be the reincarnations of Rimudo and Takiko, who recognize each other on first sight and happily embrace. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine plays with this trope occasionally with Dax and the other Trills, humanoid aliens with slug-like symbionts. When one host body grows old and dies, the slug can be implanted in a new host, bringing along the accumulated memories and personalities of the old hosts, to merge with that of the new host. A couple of times, slugs who fell in love with one generation of hosts will meet up generations later and fall in love again, occasionally with gender switches. Leads to Star Trek's first girl-girl kiss in "Rejoined". Possibly subverted by the fact that relationships between future hosts of the same symbiont pair is forbidden by Trill law, and breaking that law means that the symbionts will not be transferred to new hosts when their current ones die, greatly discouraging Reincarnation Romance and ensuring that it will only occur once per couple if it happens at all, which is odd when you consider the recurring theme that there aren't enough Trill symbionts to go around to begin with. Arguably a Trill-symbiont law that the humanoid half of the society accepts as the symbionts' right to decide for themselves. Surely the slugs have the right to determine their own species' rules? OTOH, that rule was a major law in one episode ("Rejoined" again), and never mentioned before (or since?). It had been broken more than once before it showed up, including in the first Trill episode ("The Host", Star Trek: The Next Generation). The whole reason for "Rejoined" was that the writers wanted to create an LGBT-issues episode in The '90s, despite full in-story acceptance of LGBT in everyday Federation life. So the in-universe argument became about a written-in issue in Trill culture about not romantically associating with partners from past lives, framing it for a decidedly human audience by gender flipping only one of the new hosts. |

Final Fantasy XIII-2 shows just how bad things can get if this trope is combined with Mayfly–December Romance. The one who dies young keeps coming back because she wants to be with the other, but the immortal one is eventually driven completely insane from watching his loved one die young over and over again for millennia. What makes things much worse is that said immortal is, according to Word of God, the most powerful villain in the entire franchise. | |

They did this same thing in What Dreams May Come. He loves her so much, he's able to pull her out of Hell, something thought to be impossible, and they live together in heaven until they decide to reincarnate, and find each other again as children. In an alternate ending for the movie (included on the DVD/BluRay release), their reincarnation is forced upon them as a kind of "atonement" for her condemnation to Hell. They both know going into it, however, that they're destined to meet and fall in love again — they even know the age they'll be when they die this next time around. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 deconstructs this trope: it turns out that if you keep falling in love with a person over and over again, it may mean having to watch them die over and over again, eventually turning into a case of Love Makes You Evil. The original version of Noah was never able to get over his grief at repeatedly losing the original version of Mio over and over again and eventually made a Deal with the Devil, joining Moebius and helping prolong the Forever War they had previously been trying to end in exchange for making the two of them immortal. Unfortunately for him, he didn't ask her first, and when she gets the chance she pulls a Thanatos Gambit to help the protagonists, forcing him to watch her die again, this time for good. | |

Rand is the reincarnation of the long-dead Lews Therin Telamon, who once had a relationship with Lanfear. She sincerely believes in their Reincarnation Romance despite the fact that she, in fact, is immortal and thus never actually reincarnated. He sincerely wishes that this crazy bitch would go away and stop calling him by someone else's name. | |

Xenogears is actually a Deconstruction. While a Reincarnation Romance sounds beautiful, it has an inherent horror in that it revolves around people's loved ones dying over and over again. Fei and Elly have repeatedly found happiness with each other over the millennia of their existence, but Big Bad Miang is reincarnating as well, and ends up repeatedly killing them in horrible ways for interfering in her schemes. Only by defeating her once and for all can Fei and Elly live in peace, which they achieve at the end of the game with the help of their adopted daughter from a previous life together. | |

Dollhouse has the sci-fi variant with Victor and Sierra. No matter how many times their personalities are deleted, no matter who they're programmed to be, they fall in love with each other, every time. This serves as powerful evidence against the Dollhouse's claim to be able to programme genuine emotions- at one point Victor breaks up with the woman he's programmed to be in love with, because even though this incarnation has never met Sierra he knows there's somebody out there who he loves more. | |

Wonder Woman: Comic Cavalcade: Judy MacGregor and Sheriff Gary Banks have a rather twisted iteration of the concept. His past self was rather taken with her but was respectful of the fact that she was engaged, while she lightly flirted with him before murdering him in a rage because her fiancé wasn't on hand when she first learned that her fiancé had married someone else. He was her first victim as she started out as a pirate, while their 1940s iterations ended up in love. Wonder Woman (2006): Zeus ressurects Achilles to lead his army of zombified Greek Heroes in subjugating humanity. Achilles turns on Zeus and his plans and comes across the reincarnation of Patroclus living in Washington DC, and the two start dating. |

The Good Omens fic series Pray for Us, Icarus does a one-sided version with Aziraphale and Crowley. Aziraphale is still an immortal angel, but Crowley — for reasons unknown at first — stops being a similarly immortal demon and instead begins to be reincarnated over and over again as a human who keeps being drawn to Aziraphale despite having no memories of him or their past lives together. It realistically shows just how emotionally taxing such a romance would be on both parties when only one of them is fully aware of what's happening; Aziraphale grows so heartbroken after having to repeatedly watch Crowley die or leave him that he eventually tries to just leave Crowley's reincarnations alone to not break their hearts further, which only makes Crowley feel even more acutely that he's missing something he can't put a name to. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seto Kaiba and Kisara were reincarnated as Kaiba and... the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. This complicates things... Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Jaden and Yubel. Jaden swore in his first life to love them forever, and not only did they hold him to it, but he held himself to it... once he got around to remembering he'd made the promise in the first place. They end up fusing into one being, which basically amounts to Yubel living in Jaden's mind and giving him access to their powers. |

This is a facet of Arthur, King of Time and Space. The characters exist simultaneously in multiple time periods, but most of the romances are the same in all of them, including a few cases where one or both partners is gender-swapped. (For example, Tristram and Isolde are always a couple whether Tristram is male or female.) | |

The House of Night: Kalona with Zoey. Unfortunately, Zoey wasn't exactly human in her last life, and Kalona doesn't really get that the girl who was literally created to love him (It Makes Sense in Context) now has free will. And that they're on opposite sides of a war. Cue very creepy dream-stalking. A reciprocal example is Lenobia and Martin. They met as teenagers in 1788note As detailed in the prequel Lenobia's Vow, but Martin died soon after Lenobia was Marked as a vampire fledging. Around 200 years later, he was reborn. |

The Descendants has a pair of villains who were originally "bound by chains of Fate and pinned to the wheel of resurrection", allowing them to have this. But in the present, the spell has degraded so badly that they absolutely hate each other and yet are still drawn to each other in every lifetime and usually end up killing each other. | |

Was used throughout movie version of Cloud Atlas (even more than in the book, where reincarnation is only implied), especially considering how many different roles each actor played, some of which meet in several of the 6 stories and fall in love. To list them all: Jim Sturgess and Bae Doona play Hae-Joo Chang and Somni-451, whose romance ends in death, but Somni is confident they'll meet another lifetime. Immediately after she says this, it cuts to a previous life where they are married. Tom Hanks and Halle Berry play Isaac Sachs and Luisa Rey - Isaac dies but Luisa doesn't. In the next life, Dermot Hoggins (Hanks) flirts with an Indian woman (Berry), and the two of them reincarnate as Zachry and Meronym two lives later (with them never meeting in the story inbetween), who get married and have children. Ben Whishaw and Jim Broadbent play Robert Frobisher and Vyvyan Ayrs, with the former flirting with the latter and the latter rejecting it. Although they don't meet in the next lifetime, they do in the one after, as Georgette and Timothy Cavendish, who have an affair. There are aversions as well, however; Robert Frobisher and Rufus Sixsmith never meet again, nor do Timothy Cavendish and Ursula, and nor do Vyvyan Ayrs and his wife Jocasta (although the latter two are both Prescients in the sixth story). And yes, in case you haven't seen it, there are a lot of Love Triangles in the film. |

In Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a Reincarnation Romance subplot was added, between the title character and Mina Harker nee Murray. This one is iconic enough to be a Trope Codifier in the West, and even gained steam in Japan, as evidenced by Castlevania taking heavy inspiration from this movie for Dracula's backstory. | |

In the Arrowverse, Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl, and Carter Hall, aka Hawkman, are lovers who've been with each other since ancient Egypt, finding each other only to end up being killed again and again by Vandal Savage. Their relationship is so strong that, as a prior incarnation tells Kendra when they are in the Old West, any relationship other than with Carter (she is starting one with Ray) is doomed to end in tragedy. The older "Kendra" is living alone, just waiting to die and meet "Carter" in her next life. |

Doctor Who: A variation, as the Doctor's Bizarre Alien Biology allows him to transform into a completely new person with a completely different personality upon death. "School Reunion" dealt with the Tenth Doctor meeting Sarah Jane, a companion of his Fourth incarnation in the 70s. While this episode makes it canon that the Fourth Doctor had been in love with her (something implied but never made clear in the original series) the fact that the Tenth Doctor is completely different to the Fourth Doctor makes the relationship basically impossible to rekindle, and very bittersweet, though they clearly still love each other very much on some level. Averted with River Song, who writes in her diary in "The Eternity Clock" how excited she was to use time travel to go and meet the Doctor's previous incarnations, apparently expecting to be in love with all of them, and being eager to see "the face of her beloved in his first incarnation". She discovers to her horror that not only does she not have any sexual chemistry with the First Doctor (an extremely rude old man she compares to Albert Steptoe) but that he isn't even fun, living in a scrapyard and hanging around with schoolteachers and his granddaughter, which she claims not to be ready for. Later entries in her diary indicate that her opinions of each incarnation of the Doctor go up and down — for instance, she seems to rather like the Fourth Doctor (or at least she likes his hair), hate the Second Doctor (she wishes he'd choke on his recorder) and really get on with the Third, with whom she swaps fashion and hair tips (although she takes care to erase their memories of her so that it will preserve the timeline). |

Comic Cavalcade: Judy MacGregor and Sheriff Gary Banks have a rather twisted iteration of the concept. His past self was rather taken with her but was respectful of the fact that she was engaged, while she lightly flirted with him before murdering him in a rage because her fiancé wasn't on hand when she first learned that her fiancé had married someone else. He was her first victim as she started out as a pirate, while their 1940s iterations ended up in love. | |

A recurring theme in The House in Fata Morgana. Official Couple Michel and Giselle get this after Michel dies tragically and Giselle waits nearly a thousand years for his reincarnation to return to her. When Michel is finally able to free Giselle from the mansion, they both leave the afterlife to be reincarnated with their memories intact, reuniting and eventually getting married in their next life. Subverted with Mell and Nellie. While Nellie's obsessive Big Brother Attraction is present in all her lives, Mell never reciprocates and is disgusted each time he discovers the romantic nature of her feelings. The epilogue of the main game suggests that Nellie will finally win his heart when their final reincarnations are shown to be strangers, but the sequel shuts this down when Mell turns out to be her long-lost biological brother. Pauline falls in love with Yukimasa and starts a relationship with him in each of her lives, but Yukimasa is aromantic and can only pretend to return her feelings. Despite this, he cherishes her as his Morality Chain and is willing to go along with the romance to keep her happy. Jacopo falls in love with Morgana and stays there the rest of his existence. While they don't get together in their first life and he marries someone else in his second, his wife turns out to be an incarnation of part of Morgana's soul, and the sequel implies that they'll get together in his third life when Morgana is of age. |

The Musical Aida, based on Verdi's opera, added an epilogue in which this happens to turn the original Downer Ending into a Bittersweet Ending. It's made even better by the fact that the ending is part of the framing device of the show (people are milling around a modern-day museum with Egyptian artifacts) and the audience has pretty much forgotten about the beginning in the wake of what they expect to be the Downer Ending. As such, when Aida and Radames die Together in Death, the audience thinks the show is over...until the curtain rises on the museum and their reincarnations meet. | |

Deconstructed by Tangled Fate — after Exalting as the Lunar bonded to Ranma's Solar, Ryouga starts having flashbacks in which he can see his Exaltation's previous holder being in a romantic relationship with the woman who was Ranma's predecessor. It deeply unnerves him because he decidedly doesn't want to fall in love for Ranma considering their complicated history, and he's also unsure if his shard pushes him to love Ranma herself or her predecessor. As for Ranma, she's not interested in Ryouga as more than a friend and views the whole thing as annoying and uncomfortable. | |

Invoked and then avoided in Ikki Tousen. Chuubou is the reincarnation of Koukin's wife, and she actually confronts him about it and says she likes him that way too. However he is already in love with Hakufu, the girl who's the reincanation of The Hero (and his cousin), so he gently but clearly tells Chuubou to not let her past life rule her love life. She immediately says "I Want My Beloved to Be Happy" and backs off. | |

Saul and Ellen in Battlestar Galactica. Twist: they're passionately in love but also bad influences on each other! Their equivalent of foreplay is borderline spousal abuse. She induces him to alcoholism and his presence tends to bring her manipulative and ambitious sides out. The interesting twist comes from him meeting and falling in love with another woman because he thought Ellen was dead. You can guess how things went when it turned out she's a Cylon and resurrected. Subverted with Tyrol and Tory. Despite being engaged and madly in love the first time around, he shows no interest in her during the series. In fact, when he finds out that she killed Cally, he kills her on the spot. |

RIN-NE: Spoofed one storyline where all bets are off as to what you're going to reincarnate into. A centuries-dead soldier, unable to go on, haunts the girl whom he believes to be his reincarnated love and it turns out she was actually a turtle in her past life. His love actually reincarnated into a male gym leader. The soldier has no problem crossing over after that revelation. The potentially for a romance across one person reincarnating is Defied with regards to Rinne's mother. Having been accidentally swept away into the Wheel of Reincarnation but keeping her memories in her current life as an elementary school student, she and her once husband Rinne's father, Sabato make it very frank that despite their love for each other, they're not going to resume relationship with such an age gap. |

The Adjustment Bureau has a variation of the trope. The two main characters are inextricably attracted to one another, but there is no past life binding them together. What there is, however, is a past future. In a past version of "The Plan", the fate and destiny of all humanity, they were destined to fall in love and be together, but "The Plan" has been re-written by the Chairman. Even though the current version of "The Plan" only has them meeting briefly one time and then parting ways forever, they still feel that connection and draw towards one another from when they were meant to be together. | |

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic "Where Angels Fear to Tread" makes Angel an Earl who was in love with the Slayer Elia centuries ago, agreeing to bond himself to Angelus, the demon known as the Butcher Knight, to keep Angelus in check after the demon murdered Elia. When Angel reaches the present, he realises that Buffy is the reincarnation of Elia, but after Angel is forced to make a deal to keep Angelus in check, he has to leave Buffy for a year to give Angelus his first period of freedom, although Buffy promises to use that time to work out how she feels about him in turn. | |

A bit of a complicated example involving both Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates: in Awakening the Hot Witch Tharja can marry a male Avatar (hence refered to as Robin for clarity), and in Fates the Dark Magical Girl Rhajat can marry an Avatar of either gender (hence referred to as Corrin).note And a female Corrin can be her mother, if she marries her father Hayato What makes this complicated? While it's strongly implied that Rhajat and Tharja are part of the same reincarnation cycle, and Robin and Corrin are also part of a reincarnation cycle, it's not exactly clear which couple is the Reincarnation Romance: The Rhajat-Corrin S-support implies that Tharja and Robin came first and reincarnated into Rhajat and Corrin, while Rhajat's last words, should Classic Mode be turned on, implies that she will reincarnate into Tharja instead. To a lesser degree, also true for other characters from the Hoshido side: Asugi and Caeldori, who may not be as strongly implied to be the reincarnations of Gaius and Cordelia from Awakening but do share startling similarities with them. Caeldori can marry Asugi and a Male Corrin among others, plus strike an Odd Friendship with Rhajat and be either friends or mother-and-daughter with Female Corrin (if she marries Caeldori's father Subaki); on the other hand Asugi can be friends with a Male Corrin, marry either a Female Corrin, Rhajat or Caeldori, or be the son of a Female Avatar if she marries his dad Saizo. Complicating matters further in Caeldori's case is that if Subaki marries Selena, along with being Cordelia's reincarnation she'd also be Cordelia's granddaughter. |

Played with on Family Guy. In the episode, "Peter's Progress," Peter Griffin's past life Griffin Peterson's true love is a woman who resembles Lois, though she's never explicitly identified as being Lois' past life. Over the years, there have been other "past" versions of Lois and Peter seen, but they are usually treated as identical ancestors rather than past lives. The fact that Peter is only a Griffin by marriagenote As Francis Griffin was later retconned into being his stepfather. complicates this, especially since some of these would technically be more related to Lois, such as Nate Griffin and Lois' ancestor. |

Chan-sung is not the reincarnation of Man-wol's first love Chung-myung, though Chan-sung and Man-wol are revealed to be Connected All Along, as his past incarnation and Man-wol had met as children. Also the current reincarnation of Princess Song-hwa previously dated Chan-sung and she later falls in love with the current incarnation of Yeon-woo, when in her past life, she pined over Chung-myung who is not seen to have reincarinated because his soul stayed by Man-wol's side as a firefly for over a thousand years. | |

She codifies this trope and plays it for horror. The titular character, Ayesha, is an egotistical, psychopathic Yandere who murdered her lover in a jealous fit, then became immortal so she could wait for him to be reborn. Unfortunately, he did not remember her (it's left ambiguous whether this trope was really occurring, or it was all in Ayesha's head) and hooked up with someone else. Ayesha...was not pleased. | |

Especially since, in the past life, they were broken up and she was dating a past life of her current boyfriend. In that episode it was a problem since Phoebe's past life was turned evil by an immortal warlock whom was feared to follow her in all future lives, as it was belived to be true love, and turn her evil. So they cursed her to die young. | |

Happens one-sidedly in Soultaker, a Mystery Science Theater 3000-victim movie from the 90s. The villain, one of the titular Soultakers, believes that the female lead (played by the screenwriter) is the reincarnation of his lover from the Old West - and whose betrayal is the reason he's a Soultaker in the first place. Rather than claiming her soul like he's supposed to, he tries to win her over, which doesn't work out too well. | |

Friends plays with this regarding Monica and Chandler. While not a reincarnation romance, there's an alternate universe episode where both characters, despite significant differences, still fall in love and end up together.

The problem is that both of them are dead in the real world, so Don finds a loop hole that technically "kills" them in Nod, but sends their souls back to Earth, where they can reincarnate and find each other. The second to last page shows that though they haven't met up in the real world, in their new lives, yet, they can still see each other in Nod until they do. | |

Oracle of Tao, Anideshi is basically affected by a spell that causes her to remember her reincarnations, and keeps meeting her beloved. Supposedly, when the game starts this is her last incarnation before they pass on. Also, both of them are girls. | |

Played with in Sailor Moon. Usagi and Mamoru. In their past lives, they were the lovers Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion. Endymion died protecting Serenity and she soon followed him in death. In their next lives, they have been reborn at modern Japan so they can have another chance at happiness together. Played strange: In Phantom Ace's/Danburite's previous life as Adonis, he was in love with Sailor Venus, and also in his current one. But while she does fall for him in this life, Venus apparently didn't even know he existed (so Adonis claims), or at least that he loved her (implied by Artemis recognizing him). Averted: in the manga, Sailor Venus and Kunzite used to be lovers in their previous life (hence why Venus didn't know Adonis loved her: he had seen that and decided to not interfere), but in this one they have little to no relationship and Venus kills Kunzite (not that it was any different from what she did to Adonis, given he was on the wrong side of the battle). The novelizations of the American dub, that mix it with the manga continuity, provides a justification for all this: people who have had a relationship with each other in a life are naturally drawn to each other in the next and feel an echo of whatever feeling they had, but what happens next is up to them. Hence Usagi and Mamoru feeling drawn to each other but taking a while to actually fall in love due the Meet Cute, the Sailor Senshi and the Shitennou meeting their respective groups, and the whole kerfluffle with Sailor Venus' love life. Sailor Moon Crystal expands this a little more. The Inner Senshi and the four Shitennou were lovers in their past lives (Mars and Jadeite, Jupiter and Nephrite, Mercury and Zoicite, and again Venus and Kunzite), yes, just like Serenity and Endymion. In this one, however, the Shitennou were Brainwashed and Crazy and the Senshi save for Venus can't remember their romances when they regain their Senshi selves. Venus tries to explain this but her timing is so poor that the girls almost suffer Heroic BSODs, and for worse, soon afterwards the guys are Killed Off for Real right when they're actually recovering their memories and remembering their past girlfriends. |

Last Life has this as its central premise, featuring an enduring romance between two dark witches — one who has no memory of her past lives, and the other who finds out that her current life might be her last (hence the title). | |

In Daniel Faust, The Witch and her Knight, characters in the First Story, are destined to meet and fall in love. Since every character in the story reincarnates, they do too. In the series, they are Vanessa Roth and Marie Reinhart respectively. | |

In Vampire: The Requiem, elder vampires run into a strange phenomenon called an Inamorata, a person too exactly like someone extremely dear to the vampire to be a coincidence, centuries after that person died. Drinking their blood makes a vampire feel human again, though in actuality they lose their vampire powers without losing their weaknesses and banes. Very, very old vampires run into the same Inamorata again and again over the centuries. | |

Souls Reborn plays with this — the official pairings for the Konoha 12 and the Suna Sibs before their deaths at the hands of Orochimaru were confirmed to be the standard four: NaruHina, SasuSaku, ShikaTema, and NejiTen. Their One Piece incarnations subvert this: Luffy is celibate, Kaya is in love with Usopp (Kiba's reincarnation), and neither Nami nor Ace have any attraction to each other. On the other hand, some are implied to be played straight, Zoro and Tashigi having massive amounts of Belligerent Sexual Tension, and Kohza and Vivi are Childhood Friends who are heavily implied to have feelings for each other. | |
