We know that Evil Feels Good. So, it's also natural that evil people can get nostalgic for times that felt particularly good, such as an especially fun victim or a favorite city you destroyed. Sometimes the character does it in such a way that it would be cute if not for the monstrous deeds being talked about. Some typical uses of this trope include: a Serial Killer thinking about their kills, a Blood Knight recalling a Worthy Opponent, when the villain is intentionally trying to hurt or provoke a hero they are talking to, to show the villain having an attachment to a victim such as a Villainous Crush or a touch of Lima Syndrome, or to reveal that the villain's only known victim was Not the First Victim. Would You Like to Hear How They Died? and the Post-Rape Taunt often go hand in hand with this trope. Contrast But for Me, It Was Tuesday, where the villain doesn't remember their victims. Compare and contrast Antagonist in Mourning. Can be an excellent Establishing Character Moment, particularly if a character is meant to be established as Ax-Crazy. See also Writing About Your Crime, when the past atrocities are committed to paper instead. |

Made in Abyss has Bondrewd, the Lord of the Dawn, who despite sacrificing countless of his "adopted" children for horrific human experimentation, takes the time to remember each of their names and even their hobbies and dreams in detail, reminiscing about them to Reg during their second encounter. It's made complicated by the fact that he's simultaneously able to genuinely care for them while also being willing to horribly mutilate them and subject them to fates worse than death for his ideals. | |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit features this in the episode entitled "Quarry." The team believes they've unearthed another victim of a convicted murderer and pedophile. When presented with a slew of baseball caps that belonged to the victims (he had kept the caps as "mementos"), the man is able to recall the full name of the corresponding child, along with the exact date he committed the crime, after giving each hat a momentary sniff. It's just as creepy as it sounds. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: During his interrogation Barry the Chopper talks about his various kills this way, reminiscing about how beautiful the moonlight on the pools of blood was, treasuring the memories of such halcyon days. He also instantly spots the one bogus incident they mentioned to test him. Kimblee offers an oddly noble reason for this behavior: If you're going to kill somebody, you should remember them because their last memory will be of you. |

Fitting because he is directly inspired by Hannibal Lecter, he enjoys messing with Luigi, and doing just that was most of his point in instigating the series. | |

In Hannibal, Mason Verger reminisces about a Christian camp he attended and his fellow campers, some of them disadvantaged youth who "would do anything for a candy bar" which allowed him to molest them. This is meant to mark him out as an Asshole Victim of Hannibal Lecter's and later of his sister Margot's. Lecter himself does this occasionally, most famously in The Silence of the Lambs when he tells Clarice about the census worker whose liver he ate with A Nice Chianti. |

A French Village: After he comes back from the Soviet Union, Müller tells Hortense (who's horrified) that he'd overseen mass murders of Jews there, happily talking about it and wondering at why one dug his own grave so willingly. The Milice leader Janvier happily talks about massacring an entire family after he returns from doing it. Later, his successor and other men talk about how they had a show trial of Communists, with all the "defendants" horrified to see that their benches were actually coffins, plus mockingly singing the Communist anthem "The Internationale" to them first. |

In The Princess Bride, while talking with Buttercup, the Man in Black tells her how Westley pleaded for his life before he killed him. Here it's used in a more respectful way since the Man in Black hints at being moved by Westley's sincerity and devotion. Ultimately subverted in that the Man in Black did not, in fact, kill Westley...he is Westley! | |

El Indio of For a Few Dollars More sometimes listens to the chime from his pocket watch and reflects on its previous owner, a young woman (bounty hunter Col. Mortimer's sister) whom killed herself with his gun after he murdered her lover and raped her. He wistfully dwells on her as if she were "the one that got away," a touch of humanity that ironically makes him seem even more loathsome than if he were recalling his evil deed with the sadistic glee of a Card-Carrying Villain. | |

In The Two Princesses of Bamarre, the dragon Vollys treats her prisoners as "guests" before eating them, letting them live longer with a system of giving and taking away pieces of treasure from her hoard for entertaining her. She reminisces about several of her previous victims fondly, talking about them like they were old friends and mourning the fact that she got bored and killed them. In return, the protagonist Addie later regrets having to kill her to escape. | |

The Judge Dredd story "Young Death: Boyhood of a Superfiend" serves as Judge Death's Origins Issue. It's basically one long use of this trope as Death, being interviewed by a terrified journalist, happily recalls all the people that he gruesomely murdered during his long career of killing every living thing. | |

During the King Piccolo saga in Dragon Ball, after Goku had caught up with Tambourine, he asks Tambourine if he was the one who killed Goku's friend Krillin. Tambourine thanks Goku for telling him that Krillin died and fondly tells Goku how he killed Krillin and how easy it was for him, which deeply angers Goku, and later Tambourine mentions how he loves to hear the sound humans make when they die. | |

Common Sense: A non-lethal and non-Ax-Crazy version: one of Team Rocket's favorite ways of Holding the Floor for their schemes and Draw Aggro from Ash Ketchum is to smugly remind him of the many (and that is many) defeats he's had to them throughout the story. | |

In King Solomon's Mines (where Allan Quartermain got his start) the Zulu warrior Umslopagaas says that he wouldn't mind meeting and talking to some of the people he had killed in battle. In this case, it isn't to show that Umslopogaas is evil but that though he is a Blood Knight he is also an honorable Proud Warrior Race Guy who respects a Worthy Opponent. | |

Downplayed in The Mountain and the Wolf: The Wolf tends to mention his victims in passing rather than making a big deal out of it, even complaining that they weren't much of a fight (including the Mountain and Ramsay Bolton), and implying he's killed (among other things) Fenrir Greyback and an Onion Knight. | |

On The Mentalist, a man claims to be the Serial Killer Red John and tries to prove this by telling Patrick Jayne how nicely Patrick's wife and daughter smelled right before he killed them. However, it does reveal he's close with the actual Red John since he couldn't have acquired these specific details otherwise. | |

In the above quote, Michael Westen from Burn Notice is deliberately using this trope (and playing up the image Russians have of him as the CIA's version of the Boogeyman) to speed along an interrogation by freaking out the guy he, Sam and Fi are interrogating. | |
