Ret-Gone	comment	A character seems to vanish off the face of the earth. Sometimes, people just disappear, but this is something more. People who should know about it aren't even sure who the person was. Photos look the same, but without them in it. Their Love Interests either don't exist at all, or are in love with someone else. They never existed. They're not just gone, they're Ret-Gone. Of course, it's hard to write stories about people who don't exist, so there is normally at least one person who remembers the disappeared character's life. Mostly, this will be someone close to the character, such as a friend or family member (and it's often just one person) who will do their best to find evidence, while convincing themselves and others that they're not crazy. Sometimes, without this character, the world is a notably different place, but sometimes, hardly anything has changed at all. Occasionally, it'll be the character themselves, whose continued existence is the only evidence they've ever been alive. They may be Invisible to Normals, seeing what the world is like without them. Or they may be alive and well, just really, really annoyed. Cases like this can sometimes cause a Loss of Identity if the character fears that they will start to forget themselves. Common methods of a Ret-Gone include killing them off at youth or somehow preventing their birth, shunting them into an Alternate History, and removing them from a metaphysical book of history, or rewriting the book itself in-story, although there are plenty of other Applied Phlebotinum tricks. If we actually see the character vanish and become Ret-Gone, then that character doubles as a Ripple Effect Indicator. Named, of course, after the Retcon. A variant of this trope is when the target or targets are subjected to some sort of effect that wipes their existence from memory. They (usually) still exist and their actions have had an effect on the world, but no one remembers them, and the effect may even prevent them from being remembered. When some shadowy but non-supernatural force erases the evidence of someone's existence in a more mundane manner, they've been Un-Personed. When the writers decide to simply "forget" a character's existence, that's Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, when a Delayed Ripple Effect is used as a story device this will often be used to perform a sort of half-hearted Story Reset which may inadvertently 'remove' some characters from creation. When a character actively does this on a large scale, it may be to retcon the universe into being more In Their Own Image. Keep in mind that doing this to Hitler never works. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Ret-Gone / int_104b5e68	comment	All Travelers in The Pendragon Adventure are Ret-Goned from their specific worlds after they take their first trip to another territory. They have no histories, no traces of evidence, no sign they ever existed. The people they knew still remember them, but there are no physical records of them and their journals serve as the only other proof of existence. Bobby Pendragon gets this in full, including having his house and family vanishing. Though the fact that Travelers are Ret-Goned has helped the Travelers a few times in discovering that someone is Saint Dane.

Ret-Gone / int_11b7db91	comment	In the season 5 premiere of Adventure Time, Finn, Jake and the Lich end up in Prismo's wishroom. After the Lich wishes for the extinction of all life, Finn, Jake and Prismo are the only living things left. Finn's solution? Wish that the Lich never existed. Unfortunately it doesn't go as planned, considering the guy he wished out of existence played a huge part in the series' backstory, resulting in a Cosmic Retcon. It also ends up in a semi-subversion: the Lich turned out to be the result of a devastating weapon, and an alternate version of him popped up anyway as that timeline's Jake (while that timeline's Finn became the Ice King)—which was the result of Prismo's wishes having an ironic twist (in this case, the Lich never existed until now). Main Jake undoes the trope by using his own wish to retcon the Lich's wish into sending Finn and Jake home, meaning Finn never had to make his wish.

Ret-Gone / int_11c6567a	comment	In the Thursday Next series, starting in Lost In A Good Book, Thursday's husband Landen Parke-Laine gets erased from history through time travel, despite attempts to stop this. The Chronoguard then hold his existence hostage unless Thursday does a task for them. This has already happened to Thursday's father, although because he's an experienced Chronoguard himself, this doesn't prevent him popping up on occasion to give Thursday advice. They've wiped him from history, but they haven't actually stopped him existing yet (although he now has no first name). Don't think about this too hard, and especially don't wonder how Thursday can exist. At one point, there is a support group for people with family members who have been Ret-Goned. Then some of the Ret-Goned are retroactively de-Ret-Goned. The former support group members go to the remaining support group to thank them for their support during the Ret-Gone period, but because the de-Ret-Goning was retroactive, the support group don't recognize them and think they're being mocked.

Ret-Gone / int_1215a23d	comment	Genshin Impact: This is the ultimate fate of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. As Rukkhadevata has become corrupted by the forbidden knowledge plaguing the world, Nahida is forced to erase every trace of Rukkhadevata's memory from Irminsul to eradicate the forbidden knowledge for good so the tree could finally start healing. In the aftermath, everyone starts attributing Rukkhadevata's deeds to Nahida instead, with the belief that Sumeru has only ever had one Archon and Rukkhadevata's death 500 years ago being recontextualized as Nahida having expended all of her power to save the land from corruption and losing her memories due to it. The effects are so complete that any mention of Rukkhadevata is completely removed from any piece of in-game lore, from item descriptions, to books to even Nahida's own character stories. Though the Traveler still remembers her due to being not from Teyvat and thus not connected to Irminsul, the only indication Rukkhadevata ever existed at all is the undefineable feelings of sadness and loss Nahida still feels for having to erase her despite having no other memory of her, since Irminsul had no way to effectively fill those gaps. Scaramouche attempts this in the Inversion of Genesis interlude story. After learning the truth about Dottore's manipulation, Scaramouche makes a desperate attempt to change the past by erasing his own existence. The Traveler is the only one that remembers him, and checking around reveals that the past did not actually change, only how people remembered them. The Tatarasuna Incident and the fall of the Raiden Gokaden still occurred, but the records simply have no mention of the involvement of the "Eccentric". While investigating the changes, the Traveler learns from Nahida that it is possible to save erased information by concealing it within a fairytale. This allows an amnesiac Scaramouche, now a nameless Paradox Person, to reclaim his memories and begin a new life as the Wanderer. Realizing the advantage of his situation, he swears to take revenge against the Fatui while no one remembers that he is a loose end that needed to be dealt with.

Ret-Gone / int_1641fd92	comment	Sola from Sunrider Academy experiences a drawn-out version of this in her route. She suffers from "distortions", episodes where parts of her body will randomly (and painfully) fade out of existence. The people who know her lose some of their memories of her whenever a distortion occurs: if she were to disappear completely, they would forget her entirely and it would be like she never existed. The plot of her route involves figuring out why this is happening and finding a way to prevent it. In Sunrider Liberation Day's [RE]turn mode, this is almost inevitable. Kayto has been sent back in time to prevent a horrible incident that happened in the main storyline from taking place, and if he succeeds the resulting paradox will erase him from existence. Not counting the bad endings where he dies, exactly three of [RE]turn's eighteen endings do not have Kayto getting erased.

Ret-Gone / int_1858fe06	comment	Not to be outdone, Dr. Eggman attempts this in the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) storyline "Sonic: Genesis" via the Genesis Wave. However, it turns out that Sonic couldn't be erased and, instead, the universe is altered to be the video game version with SatAM elements in it. As he later reasons, the Genesis Wave's original power source, a singular Chaos Emerald, wasn't enough. Enter Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide, in which Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily obtain all seven Chaos Emeralds and uses its power to completely alter both Mobius Prime and Earth 20XX. At the end of the story, Mega Man fixes his world, but Eggman interferes in fixing Sonic's, which leads to...the "nu252" universe, which pretty much altered Mobius to the point where it was mostly video game based. Even more, a vast majority of the characters were Ret-Goned by the event and the only ones who remember the old world are Sonic himself, Eggman, Orbot, Cubot, Naugus, Blaze, and most of the Freedom Fighters. And it's been clarified that those characters have since lost those memories of the old world, so there are no ties to the old continuity. The removed characters have been cut off completely. This was because of Archie losing ownership of those characters to former head writer Ken Penders. Word of God also revealed that the Sonic X continuity was also erased by the Super Genesis Wave.

Ret-Gone / int_1869a077	comment	In the final season of Samurai Jack, Jack's fiancee Ashi ceases to exist after he travels back to his time and defeats her father Aku. This is only a mild case as he still possesses memories of her as indicated by his smile when he sees the ladybug. This is also definitely the case with Future Aku, since his erasure is what erases Ashi, as well as the evil cult that worshipped him. Not only her, the entire future timeline and everyone and everything in it ceases to exist as it was a distorted reality created by the act of Aku banishing Jack into the future. Jack returning to the past resets this distortion and the timeline essentially proceeds as it would have had Jack never travelled to the future, even though his memories and experience remain. All of Jack's friends from future would have been Ret-Goned along with Ashi as killing Aku means that he couldn't kill or displace human populations for the next several millennia, nor be able to invite various alien races to Earth, thus negating them from being born. Even if they still exist under a happier future, none of them will remember ever meeting Jack; even though he's a legendary hero now, all those events he took part in never happened. The only one who'll remember these events is Jack himself, unless he somehow decides to chronicle his adventures. There is a silver lining to this: they would never have had to experience the living hell that was Aku.

Princess Twilight tried to talk Starlight down during the events of "The Cutie Remark" and offered her hoof in friendship. Unlike in canon, however, Starlight rejected it underneath the belief that she would be thrown in prison for her crimes if she surrendered. At that point, Twilight had no choice but to encase the villain in a crystal, find the filly Starlight, and ask her if she wanted to run away from her Orphanage of Fear and become her personal student. Filly Starlight eagerly agreed, which wiped the original Starlight out of existence.

Emily's last two years (and acceptance into Harvard) were also wiped. Part of the concern for our heroes is some of the positive changes that this change has wrought. Ash has a better relationship with both parents, and Emily barely avoided being in a severe car accident that could very well have killed her (and this is before getting into their attraction to each other).

Ret-Gone / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: In a Secret Wars II tie-in storyline, the New Mutants (a group of teenage mutants being trained as the next generation of X-Men) were Ret-Goned by a Sufficiently Advanced Alien called the Beyonder. The only one to remember their existence was Kitty Pryde, who had a magical connection to Magik that even the Beyonder's godlike powers couldn't erase. Stryfe is forced to keep Cyclops and Jean alive, despite utterly despising them, so that he can be born. This is used by the X-Men as a last-ditch effort to defeat Generic Doomsday Villain Matthew Malloy, who is described by creator Brian Michael Bendis as "beyond omega" and somehow more of a threat to the universe than Vulcan, Onslaught or even Dark Phoenix.

She was confident that Shelley would rescue her, but Bob Crowley explained that she was "no longer part of the universe we knew" and everyone would soon forget her. This state of affairs persisted even after she became ruler of Hell and returned to the mortal world, with Erin eventually meeting and telling her story to an old boyfriend; she mentioned that she hadn't tried contacting her family, as it would be too painful. Indeed, when she did meet Shelley face to face soon after, the latter didn't recognize her at all... until after Tim accidentally opened another portal to Hell and Erin had to trade her soul for boyfriend Eustace's life, which somehow let Shelley remember and recognize her dear sister right through the latter's "queen of Hell" persona.

Ret-Gone / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The first movie, ''Memories of Nobody'', ends with Senna fading from existence. It's a bit of a subversion for two reasons: Originally she never really existed in the first place being a collection of random memories given a soul, and Ichigo walks right by her in the movie's ending. Still, she's essentially Ret-Goned. Because she's a movie character she's probably never going to be brought up in canon again, meaning she's never going to be re-introduced to the cast. In ''Fade to Black'', Rukia gets an incomplete dose of this trope. The force behind this isn't powerful enough to completely erase her; Zanpakutou spirits and artificial souls such as Kon are immune to the effect, and physical evidence such as written notes remain. Ichigo also regains his memories with a bit of nudging, as the force couldn't Ret-Gone the fact that Rukia was the original source of his powers.

Ret-Gone / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Destiny: Destiny features Praedyth, a Guardian who ventured with two others into the Vault of Glass, a research facility built by time-manipulating robots. After an unsuccessful attempt to destroy it, the Vex erase Praedyth from the universe's timeline so that he may never have the chance to threaten their operation. Their work was so thorough that, when the player enters the Vault to track down a signal Praedyth is broadcasting, there were only scattered pieces of gear and vague references to indicate he existed at all. In gameplay, this is implied to be the fate of Guardian Fireteams who get wiped during the Vault of Glass raid. This can happen in a number of different circumstances throughout the raid, whether it's being afflicted with the "Mark of Negation" by Fanatics and Oracles, followed by dying to the Templar's "Ritual of Negation" unless you cleanse yourself of the debuff; getting wiped by the Gorgons (special Vex Harpies found exclusively in this raid) and their "Gorgon's Gaze," where your party has ten seconds to kill them before they kill you (and they've got a lot of health, not to mention that if you kill one, all the others get a buff!); or you get "Marked By The Void" while inside the portal worlds during the final segments of the raid (including the final battle against Atheon), where if you fail to complete the objective and escape before your screen goes black (or you fail to kill an Oracle that appears in Atheon's chamber if a Praetorian prevents a portal from opening), rather than the usual death screen that says "The Darkness Consumed You," you are instead told that you are "forever lost in the dark corners of time." In the Vault of Glass, you don't necessarily "die" when the Vex get you; instead, you're straight-up erased from the timeline, so you never even existed in the first place! Indeed, the "ontological weaponry" of the Vault of Glass forms a key part of the Vex's ultimate desire to reshape reality to the point where their very existence and dominion over all is a fundamental law of the universe itself, essentially pulling a Ret-Gone on anything that doesn't conform to their "pattern."

The difference here is that Connor still exists, just not in the minds of the supporting cast. Their modified memories of what happened the previous seasons are never fully explained, even after certain characters get their memories back. From that same season, every mention and memory of The Beast was erased from our dimension by Jasmine. The Beast is still mentioned in a book from another dimension, where his information was not removed. Angelus also recalls the Beast because he was not in control of Angel when the erasure occurred.

(In the most recent case, the death of her ex-husband, stepdaughter and infant son, coupled with the loss of her powers). Hippolyta (the Wonder Woman at the time) and her Teen Titans teammate Wally West (The Flash) remembered her due to being outside the timestream when it was rewritten, and Donna was restored to her previous form, complete with powers (because they used Wally's memories to restore her, and he remembered her best with her Wonder Girl powers). The tragic part turned out to be that Wally didn't have much memory or knowledge of the (well-written and positive for both of them) relationship she had had with Green Lantern Kyle Rayner before her latest Ret-Gone — and so of course she came back with only the vaguest memories of her time with him. Then again, that could just be the writers playing with the readers.

Ret-Gone / int_251e67c5	comment	The Silver Age Justice League of America story "Crisis on Earth-A" had Johnny Thunder become curious on whether he has a counterpart on Earth-One and ask his Thunderbolt to take him to him. Said Earth-One counterpart turns out to be a crook and proceeds to hijack the Thunderbolt and use his wishes to alter reality in his favor. This included wiping the Justice League out of existence by having the Thunderbolt go back in time and interfere with their individual origins (e.g. preventing Krypton from undergoing the disaster that destroyed it and resulted in Superman being sent to Earth, saving Green Lantern Corpsman Abin Sur's life so he wouldn't give his power ring to Hal Jordan, discouraging Bruce Wayne from becoming a crimefighter by beating up Batman during his first case, interfering with Dr. Erdel's experiment so J'onn J'onzz would remain on Mars) and later having some of his accomplices take Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, the Atom, the Flash and Green Lantern's places in the timeline. It takes the efforts of the Justice Society and a defiant Thunderbolt who's all too pleased that his new master's wishes are limited by his exact wording to persuade Earth-One Johnny Thunder into surrendering and undoing his actions.

She wishes to destroy all witches in the past and future before they are born, including her own, which causes her to become the literal embodiment of Hope for magical girls, and everyone forgets that Madoka Kaname ever existed. The only ones who do remember her are Homura and Madoka's little brother, Tatsuya. And even Word of God says that he will forget about her as he gets older. In Puella Magi Kazumi Magica, the Pleiades Saints actually do this to the incubators in all of Asurano. They cast a spell covering the city that makes incubators invisible to everyone and replacing their memories of contracting with Kyubey to have been done with Jubey, a human-created incubator-like creature. They also make forgetting they ever cast the spell part of it. The spell gets broken in the final chapters, just in time for the magical girls to remember incubators, their inability to purify Soul Gems, and that Grief Seeds are used to purify Soul Gems, so that there can be a happier ending.

Before Mommy was ever born. This has the effect of erasing your existence in its entirety, making you a living paradox and making you extremely hard to destroy. Later on, they came up with a variant of the Time Lords' De-Mat Gun, Continuity Needles. Anyone stabbed with one will never have existed. Unusually, the works of that person do not disappear - Time fills in the cracks by attributing them to someone else. That said, Needles have their limits and it's not recommended to use them on people who leave massive impressions upon the timeline. Case in point, a Needle almost caused a disaster when someone had the bright idea of attacking some British alchemist with it.

The first is the disappearance of the Protagonist, during the first regression of the world, who performed a Heroic Sacrifice to keep Al Saiduq safe. Played with, as every party member still remembered him and they eventually fell to Arcturus except for Yamato and Al Saiduq. And this is attempted again on him for most of the Triangulum Arc, meaning that the Triangulum are attempting to erase the protagonist's data from the Akashic Record and cause him to cease to exist at any moment. These attempts stop after Arcturus is defeated. The other disappearance goes to Yamato Hotsuin. As they remember their previous world, everyone remembers that Yamato Hotsuin existed, but he doesn't seem to exist in this world and has been replaced by Miyako Hotsuin. And she claims that no Yamato was ever part of the Hotsuin clan. Yamato does exist, but he's willingly remaining in the Akashic Stratum, to continuously protect the protagonist's data from getting corrupted and deleted. This happened during the second regression of the world and Carnopus, noticing the empty spot of 'Yamato Hotsuin' replaced it by creating Miyako.

The rest of the miniseries deals with Harley trying to fix her mistakes to restore all the heroes to the timeline while also fighting back against Starro's efforts to prevent her from fixing the timeline. By the end, everything's back to normal except for Barry Allen reeking of monkey urine because a jar of the stuff was placed by Harley among the chemicals that gave him his super speed and Aquaman still being erased from existence due to Harley neglecting to undo her sleeping with Aquaman's human father Tom Curry and getting him killed before he met Aquaman's mother Atlanna.

Ret-Gone / int_30b255fb	comment	Supergirl: There was a truly heartbreaking Christmas story (Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot) in a DC Christmas annual a couple years after the Crisis in 1989 where the ghostly superhero Deadman is wondering why he bothers going on when a young woman, who can see him, tells him: "We don't do it for the glory. We don't do it for the recognition... We do it because it needs to be done. Because if we don't, no one else will. And we do it even if no one knows what we've done. Even if no one knows we exist. Even if no one remembers we ever existed." Then she disappears into the night, but not before Deadman asks her name. "My name is Kara. Though I doubt that'll mean anything to you." Subverted with "American Honda Presents DC Comics Supergirl". Although the second issue came out one year after DC declared Supergirl was dead, gone and forgotten "forever" and nobody was allowed to bring her up in-and-out-of-universe, Kara -and she is distinctly Kara Zor-El- makes a reappearance as the story's protagonist. Supergirl (2005): A later version of the Dark Angel tried to do this to the Post-Crisis Supergirl by trapping her in a horrifying illusion without her knowledge. If Supergirl had been mentally, physically, or spiritually broken, Dark Angel would have had the authority to erase her. Supergirl survived the test, but Dark Angel decided to erase her anyway, only to be stopped by her boss, The Monitor.

When the robots find out where (or rather, when) he is, they try to zap him into their time, but they keep getting the wrong kid... and every time, everyone forgets the victim's existence, as though they never existed.

In "Time to Time", Satchko Watanabe, a member of the time travel agency Chrononics, ceased to exist after Lorelle Palmer altered history when she visited UC Berkeley on April 14, 1969. Lorelle caused her father Tom to miss his bus, which prevented his friend James Williams from telling him about a meeting later that night. At this meeting, he learned of Richard's plans to plant a bomb in the ROTC campus headquarters in McClanahan Hall. As a result, Tom lived, and the bomb went off the next day instead of that night. Twelve people died in the altered timeline. In the original timeline, one of them had a child who became a medical researcher and discovered the cure for AIDS, saving thousands of lives in the process. Satchko was never born as she was a descendant of one of the AIDS sufferers. The course of history is restored and Satchko returns when Lorelle decides to allow her father to die in his attempt to deactivate the bomb.

The groom found himself at home, confused and vaguely aware that something was missing, but unable to figure out what it was. Eventually (a year and a half later) she was restored to her proper place and the ceremony resumed (although Bart Allen (Impulse) could still see and remember her. Of course, his grasp on reality is a little off). The time-traveling villain Eobard Thawne a.k.a. Professor Zoom/Reverse Flash has learned to weaponize this, frequently erasing people from history either for his own benefit or to make Barry Allen suffer. More than once he's just done it because he felt slighted by the now-deleted party, and the only reason he didn't erase Barry himself was because it would destabilize his own origin. In DC Rebirth, it's revealed Wally got retgonned following Flashpoint, thrown out of time until he could find a way back to reality. Unfortunately, he and Linda both lost a few years of their lives... which included their entire relationship.

Ret-Gone / int_42efb78	comment	Deadpool 2: Discussed and inverted in the plot of the film. Cable intends to travel to Deadpool's present time to kill Russell Collins (a.k.a. Firefist), so that he would cease to exist in Cable's own time and not turn into a supervillain that would have killed his family. However, Deadpool objects to this, believing that he could talk Russell out of going down that dark path, and decides to suppress his own superpowers and sacrifice his own life to save Russell from the last bullet from Cable's pistol during the climatic confrontation against him. This convinces Russell not to kill anyone, therefore giving Cable's family a chance to exist in his own time. After Deadpool's slow, dramatic death, he then descends into the afterlife to join his wife, Vanessa, who then tells him that he has finally found peace in having a heart for Russell and can join her in death, but before he could settle in and accept his demise, he is suddenly pulled back into existence and the world of the living when Cable went back in time once again to retrieve Deadpool's stolen memento and uses that to block the fatal shot he fired, allowing Deadpool to live on to appear in another planned sequel. Played with in the post-credits scenes, where Deadpool uses Cable's now-repaired time-traveling device to "clean up the timelines" by killing off Weapon XI (Deadpool as he appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and then his actor just as he was going to play the eponymous role in the 2011 film Green Lantern (2011). Also inverted when he uses this same time-traveling tool to undo the deaths of Vanessa and an X-Force member.

Ret-Gone / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: The series of online Microfiction has SCP-268, which is half this trope, half Un-person. Instead of only erasing records or removing people from history, the wearer is erased from all memories after prolonged use AND becomes practically invisible to everyone, but paper and digital records remain. SCP-343 may have done this to a researcher who resisted its psychic properties. SCP-1310 is a room which does this to everyone who remains inside. The twist is that they don't themselves disappear, and must hereafter live in a world where they've never actually been born. The original SCP-2454 is a cruise ship that retroactively erases anyone on board every nine minutes. It caused the Foundation to send over 600 personal to the ship before they finally realize what happened. SCP-2747 has this effect (mild level) not on humans, but narratives. Books, music, video games, websites... They all get destroyed and all that's left are references to them. SCP-3088 is a town where every law the mayor made became objective law of reality for the town (for example, a law banning litter deleted all litter within the town's borders and no one was able to even to try to litter). One of the first laws made upon realizing his power is that no one could leave the town. However, tired of the Mobile Task Force Unit, the mayor made a law said that all military personnel must leave immediately, conflicting with the prior law saying no one could leave. So the entire town vanished from existence. SCP-3264 is the result of an experimental device meant to remove objects "from space and time itself." SCP-3930 is a Void Between the Worlds lacking shape, dimension, or any potential quality that could be attributed to it. Because of the human mind's tendency to create patterns where there are none, anyone who enters it believes they're in a lush forest in the Russian wilderness, not realizing that it doesn't exist (and now, neither do they). The more people know of this void and subconsciously overwrite it with their own patterns, the more lingering remnants of consciousness within it there are. If there's too much of these thoughts together, too many of these inventions of the mind piling up at the edge of nothingness, they start to merge into one thing, it becomes complex, gains sentience, and realizes what it actually is. It exists now, and it would very much like to go back to not existing. That little thing is what's known as a Pattern Screamer, because it's born from seeing nonexistent patterns, and it screams in hatred of thought that brought it to be. The only way to erase it is to erase the inventions that made it happen; the only way to make that happen is to send the ones who thought them into this nothingness, so they'll stop existing. The threshold is around ten people; any more than that knowing of this void, and the screaming starts. SCP-240-JP comprises of zero instances of anomalous locusts. When a locust dies, it warps reality to erase all traces of it ever having existed, which is why there is/are/was/were always zero instances of them. Some of the entities and devices the Antimemetics Division deals with can do this, first by erasing all memories and records of the person, and then slapping a Perception Filter on the person. If the person is still alive, no one will hear their pleas for help. If the person is dead, people will step over their rotting corpse without even noticing it's there. The same effect can also be applied to buildings and locations, forcing people to unknowingly make detours around acres of land that they don't even realize exists.

To wit: the Devidians are collapsing and destroying timelines and feeding themselves on the leftover energies. If this doesn't stop, they'll end up destroying the multiverse. Picard and others discover that the Novel Verse is actually the "First Splinter", the result of the events of Star Trek: First Contact, and to stop the Devidians, they must collapse this timeline, erasing it from existence but saving other, more stable timelines including the Prime Universe.

Said princess has to constantly remind people in the same room that she's present. Later, an 'interface' forms, a bubble on the world (which only the magically gifted or Death can see) centred on the princess, where the inside is the changed timeline and the outside is 'correct' history in which the princess is dead. The pressure of history causes the bubble to shrink and shrink until the changed timeline would never have existed.

Because its creation was masterminded by Comstock, Colombia also ceases to exist, and the events of the game never take place. However, The Stinger reveals that Booker and Elizabeth live on in a universe where Booker never gave up his daughter, freeing them from the cycle of events that had made the lives of their other selves so hellish. The Burial at Sea DLC reveals that not all versions of Comstock were eliminated as the Booker DeWitt you play as is actually an alternate Comstock who had the Luteces send him to Rapture after accidentally killing Anna.

Ret-Gone / int_49a88442	comment	The idea gets revisited in a subversion with Final Fantasy XIV. In the chapter "The End of an Era", the player characters who are fighting to end the war against The Empire encounter Bahamut and can only watch as the elder primal rains destruction across the land. Louisoix saves the world's only hope, the player characters, by sending them several years into the future while he performs a Heroic Sacrifice to stop Bahamut. Once A Realm Reborn came to be (patch 2.0), everyone forgets who the warriors that fought Bahamut were and can only remember them by a figure shrouded in light, dubbing them the Warriors of Light. While said warriors still exist, no one can remember them. This is taken a step further if a Legacy player completes the main storyline where everyone remembers that the player is indeed the Warrior of Light. Endwalker reveals that this memory-alteration is a side-effect of the huge amounts of aether disruption that happened when Bahamut started came down and started raising hells, as a similar method (including its reversibility under the right circumstances) is used by the Forum of Sharalayan.

Interestingly, this pain is also felt by Data Sora, who states that even if he doesn't know the source of his turmoil, he's still resolved to do his best to fix it.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain revisit this trope. If Big Boss dies in the the former, "Time Paradox" appears in small text on the Game Over screen. In the latter, the Game Over screen will read "Time Paradox" if the player allows Ishmael, Kaz, Huey, Eli, or Ocelot to die. In the case of Ishmael and Eli: Ishmael is the real Big Boss, while Eli would grow up to become Liquid Snake.

Ret-Gone / int_5d354f8	comment	Red Dwarf: In "Out of Time", while passing through pockets of "unreality" where things change at random, the Red Dwarf crew of four pass through one and then start wondering what happened. They're in an unreality pocket but nothing has changed, the ship is normal and all three of them are normal. Meanwhile the Cat is sitting in the front seat, invisible and inaudible, constantly trying to correct them. Luckily for him this doesn't last long; once they exit the pocket he becomes "real" again and the others forget that they ever forgot him. The Inquisitor does this to people he deems unworthy. He mostly completes this with Lister and Kryten but is stopped by a Stable Time Loop. According to Lister, he programs the Inquisitor's gauntlet to backfire and do this to the Inquisitor himself. In "Timeslides", Lister uses time travel to prevent himself from joining the Space Corps and thus ending up in deep space three million years in the future. While he disappears from Red Dwarf, he technically isn't really Ret-Goned because he just changed his past and lived a different life. Kryten also disappears, but only because he would still be on the Nova 5. The Cat, however, is Ret-Goned, because without Lister the Cat race never existed.

After helping Door, Richard wakes up the next day to find he's effectively Invisible to Normals unless he gets right in their face - and even then, they forget him in about five seconds. People on the street barge into him without noticing, his credit card is no longer accepted, and his own fiancee can't remember him. This is taken to the extreme when someone literally rents his apartment out while he's standing in it.

In addition, one of the Yozis, She Who Lives In Her Name, did this to huge portions of Creation before being sealed away. It's still debated amongst the fandom whether she "merely" destroyed things and erased them from living memory, or whether she rewrote the laws of Creation so that the things she scythed away could never come into existence again.

However, an incredibly minor character, an inn owner, remembers that a merchant from that island was there, but him and everything the man had brought with simply weren't there anymore. Also, his wife, Heketeah, the one actually responsible for the death, remembers them and is utterly terrified at the power it takes to simply erase a whole people. Saetan's friend goes to find the island only to find it's completely gone.

He returns home to not only find a more advanced technological level (including newspapers that play video and holographic screens) but a daughter instead of a son. Since he remembers the night his son was originally conceived, he asks his wife about it. She explains that they were about to get it on, when he received a call about malfunctioning nano-systems at his work and had to go. They ended up having sex sometime later and conceiving a daughter. He resolves to go back and change things back, despite his wife pleading him not to (as far as she knows, they never had a son, and Dan is about to erase her daughter from existence). He does that anyway and doesn't tell his wife what happened.

Ret-Gone / int_5f76cba1	comment	As a result of New 52 putting all the Golden Age DC heroes back in a separate universe and making them younger, Obsidian and his sister Jade no longer exist because their father isn't old enough to have adult children. Because of this, the writers transferred Obsidian's sexual orientation to the new version of the man who had previously been his father. Nevertheless, the Earth 2 continuity still introduced a counterpart to Obsidian anyway during the events of Earth 2: World's End, though he is obviously not Alan Scott's son for the previously stated reasons. When Superman and Wonder Woman kissed, it had the side-effect of erasing Booster Gold from existence. People still remember, but they only think he has disappeared. As a man from the future, Booster Gold disappearing is quite ominous... He ended up getting collected by Brainiac, leading into the events of Convergence.

Dave has the vague impression of his group having six people instead of its actual five and realizes that someone in their number has been erased from existence. For all Dave knows, it might have been someone he knew very well, but now he has no memory of them because they never existed. And it's not limited to entire people. In the sequel This Book Is Full Of Spiders, Amy's hand, which was amputated after the car accident in which her parents were killed, had not been amputated until the point Amy touched a Shadow Man during the climax of the novel. Which actually raises a lot of questions, the most obvious being how they opened the Ghost Door earlier in the novel... They could open the Ghost Door in John Dies at the End because that book takes place in the timeline the Shadow Men created after the fact in This Book is Full of Spiders.

Ret-Gone / int_61b1bd67	comment	Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- and Ã—Ã—Ã—HOLiC are connected by a Ret-Gone in which the real Syaoran of Tsubasa, the son of reincarnated in the past Clone Sakura and Clone Syaoran (and not of Cardcaptor Sakura Sakura and Syaoran as previously thought), gave up his existence in his home world for the Sakura of the world of Clow. In order to fill the gap this left in space-time, a new son (who had not previously existed in any world) was created for Clone Sakura and Clone Syaoran, Watanuki Kimihiro of Holic. Watanuki's existence is therefore precarious and could be erased by the real Syaoran's death or by the Tsubasa gang correcting the space-time disturbance. The point of Holic has been for Watanuki to develop connections to other people that will anchor him to existence when the endgame comes. Additionally, this almost happens to the "twins" described above when their parents have a Critical Existence Failure upon the death of their creator, as when he dies, their parents technically never existed once again, just as they were retconned in originally. The twins end up making a Deal with the Devil just to continue having existed. Also, Yuuko Ichihara of Ã—Ã—Ã—HOLiC suffers this once she re-dies. She actually died centuries ago, but a Reality Warper told reality to ignore that for a while. When she sells that "reality ignore my death" effect in a Deal with the Devil of her own, all of a sudden, to most people it is as if she had never kept on living for hundreds of years.

The first is the disappearance of the Protagonist, during the first regression of the world, who performed a Heroic Sacrifice to keep Al Saiduq safe. Played with, as every party member still remembered him and they eventually fell to Arcturus except for Yamato and Al Saiduq. And this is attempted again on him for most of the Triangulum Arc, meaning that the Triangulum are attempting to erase the protagonist's data from the Akashic Record and cause him to cease to exist at any moment. These attempts stop after Arcturus is defeated. The other disappearance goes to Yamato Hotsuin. As they remember their previous world, everyone remembers that Yamato Hotsuin existed, but he doesn't seem to exist in this world and has been replaced by Miyako Hotsuin. And she claims that no Yamato was ever part of the Hotsuin clan. Yamato does exist, but he's willingly remaining in the Akashic Stratum, to continuously protect the protagonist's data from getting corrupted and deleted. This happened during the second regression of the world and Carnopus, noticing the empty spot of 'Yamato Hotsuin' replaced it by creating Miyako.

For instance, one person who sought it out is mentioned as having gotten enough food to feed his family through hard times, but at the cost of seeing everything upside down. In Dalinar's case, he cannot remember anything about his wife other than the fact that she existed, and can't even hear her name when others speak it. Given that he sought the being out after her death, it really isn't clear at first whether this was his boon, his curse, or both.

Their body abruptly vanishes, their soul is expunged from the multiverse, and reality itself is rewritten so that the target cannot exist in it. Standard resurrection magic won't work on the target of unname, instead it takes a two-hour ritual to create a new truename for the target, then true resurrection to bring them back to life. Dragonlance has rules for fighting the minions of Chaos (also mentioned under Literature). Die to them, and all you'll leave behind is empty armor and any books that were written about you (the latter of which will be assumed to be fiction).

Ret-Gone / int_6c013d08	comment	The World of Darkness: Anyone who makes a Deal with the Devil in Demon: The Descent can experience this in whole or part. Demons typically use Pacts to gain "Cover" — metaphysical pieces of their human personas. When they make a Pact, parts of a human's life is literally removed and cosmically retconned into belonging to the Demon instead — from a simple memory or skill to physical attributes or even relatives. And then there's the ultimate pact: the soul. If a Demon takes a person's entire soul as their payment, that person is gone. The gamebook differentiates this from a disguise or Demonic Possession, the original person has been retconned out, with the Demon claiming their entire existence as its own Cover. People who live in one of the contained, fragmented versions of Seattle detailed in the main DtD book experience a different version: if they make a stigmatic pact with a demon, they are pushed farther and farther out of existence each time the fragment resets. A father of two sons will, after one reset, become an uncle with two nephews, then a distant relation, then a complete stranger, then poof gone unless they escape to the "real" Seattle in time. In Mage: The Awakening, the Red Word cult (who worship an alternate timeline so abhorrent that it was aborted from reality into the Abyss, where it attained sentience and got really pissed off), devour people in order to symbolically wipe them from this history. If they do it in their sacred temple, it actually happens with all evidence that the person existed gradually fading away. In the same game, the Cult of the Doomsday Clock are attempting to destroy the Fallen World (i.e., this one) in order to free themselves to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. (Needless to say, the heads of the cult are all Abyssal beings.) Their key weapon for this is a Doomsday Clock, which not only erases everything around it, but goes back through time and erases it there, eventually leaving a gaping hole in both the world and history. This is particularly associated with archmages: If someone fails during the process of becoming an archmage, they die and are retroactively erased from history. If someone succeeds at becoming an archmage, it's possible that the changes the transition causes result in something or someone the archmage knew getting removed from history. If an archmage completes an Imperium Rite that involves removing something from reality, that something - be it a place, a society, etc. - now never existed. When the Exarchs ascended to the Supernal, history was rewritten such that their original home, the Awakened City (aka Atlantis), had never existed. Artifacts and ruins from the Awakened City still survive, despite having no origin in this timeline... but they come from different — and contradictory — Awakened Cities. Mage: The Ascension: The Arcane background is a sort of "cloaking" from the Universe. Records, memories and evidence for the existence of an Arcane character slip away from the world, slowly at low levels ("You're easy to forget.") while at high levels people start forgetting you as soon as you leave the room (the five dot version's description is "In other people's minds, you don't even exist."). Oh, and the stat potentially goes up to ten for NPCs (and really powerful or unlucky PCs). Not bad for mages, who really want to hide from the world, but it may become a hindrance for other people. Think The Net. The Virtual Adepts can do that. Don't piss them off. Wrinkle, the Paradox spirit who deals with sufficiently obnoxious temporal meddlers, is rumored to deal with the worst cases by rewriting time so they were never born. Online fan-created material suggests that the Syndicate and New World Order factions could do this by way of Un-person, due to their paradigms of magic. The Ahl-I-Batin, or hidden ones, used a ritual to increase their Arcane rating in order to hide from the Technocracy. It has Gone Horribly Right, in that some of them increased their rating enough to wipe themselves from existence entirely. It is implied that at rank 10, the universe itself forgets you, hence you apply this trope to yourself. According to Guide to the Traditions, this is what happened to the Etherite Czar Vargo when he shattered the Masquerade in an attempt to stop the First World War - his act of magic was so public, and so at odds with consensus reality, Paradox retgonned him and his allies out of existence. Worse, the effect was progressive: initially, it was his attempt to stop the war that got retconned, then as time went on it extended backwards through Vargo's timeline to the point that the village he came from ended up never having existed. Some few mage witnesses still remember Vargo, but they get fewer and fewer as time passes and the Paradox effect gets to them. (Related to the note above, a sidebar comments that the Technocracy, whatever else it's capable of, couldn't manage to Ret-Gone an event on that scale itself, as it's not that powerful. Paradox is.) In a book on magic for Vampire: The Masquerade, there is a spell that erases the memories of a person or object from existence completely. However, a character's connections can help them resist, on the principle that it gets harder to make everyone and everything "forget". Also, trying to remove important or big things won't work completely, as the universe will try to fit something else in the hole. For example, if a building in the middle of town is erased from existence, you won't end up with an empty lot; something has to go there, so some other building will appear. Mummy: The Resurrection has Forgetting the Person's Name, the most powerful Ren-Hekau spell. It obliterates the target's True Name. The target gets a Willpower roll to resist (described as forcing the universe to remember who they are); if they fail, they are gone, with everyone who ever knew them forgetting they ever were. It's believed that this is the one way to truly destroy a mummy.

One agent wants to save a young soldier in World War I, arguing "how much difference does saving one kid make?" His scientist partner snaps that she knows it can because she was by the device when it blew so she was protected from any time alterations. However, when she got back to the surface and went home, she discovered that instead of being from a family of six siblings, she was now an only child. She notes that it's much worse than if her brothers and sisters (not to mention their various kids) had all died because at least then, she'd have photos and videos of them to remember. Instead, she's the only person who knows they existed and her own parents have no concept of the great large family they lost.

A deadly cyborg attacks and in the fight, Ross is knocked into a pool of acid. The cyborg then proceeds to kill just about every major character over the course of the episode. Brogan takes him down to discover it's a future, scarred version of Ross. In the original history, his boss had tossed him into the acid and he'd come back to stop it, only for Brogan to do it instead. Brogan uses the device to go back to the original raid, taking down the earlier version of Ross. He then yells out a warning to his past self to arrest the gang boss and thus spare Ross the acid bath. Brogan and the cyborg started shimmering out of existence as Brogan explains their entire future is now being erased. The past version of Brogan steps into the alley just in time for them to disappear, confused but shrugging it off as he talks Ross out of the gang life with no idea of the Bad Future he just avoided.

Ret-Gone / int_7cf5a07	comment	The Flash (2014): Harrison Wells, aka Eobard Thawne, aka the Reverse-Flash, disintegrates into nothingness when his ancestor, Eddie, kills himself. However, since he's such an important part of the timeline, history didn't change and everyone still remembers him. A younger version of him later arrives to trouble the heroes again. Barry defeats the younger version of Thawne and tries to imprison him forever, but is forced to allow him to return to the future because he became a key part of Cisco/Vibe's origin story. Cisco almost vanished from existence before Thawne was released. Thawne gets this again in the second season finale of Legends of Tomorrow. The Black Flash — literal death incarnate and sent by the Speed Force itself to remove any threat to the timeline — obliterates Thawne a second time. This still doesn't take, and Thawne shows up with the Earth-X Nazis for Crisis on Earth-X, at which point even Thawne just handwaves his continued existence. In the Season 2 finale, Barry goes back and saves his mother from Thawne. He then watches his past self, the one who failed to save her, smile and vanish into thin air. After Barry fixes the above timeline in season 3, Diggle's daughter Sara is erased from existence, and John Diggle Jr. is the Diggle baby now, possibly setting the Bad Future of the 2030s and 2040s in motion. Additionally, Cisco's brother Dante has been killed by a drunk driver several months prior in the new timeline, so he fits too. Interestingly, it's stated that time ripples don't cross into parallel universes, even if their timelines are intertwined. This means that Harry and Jesse are unaffected by Barry's changes to Earth 1's timeline, and they immediately start noticing changes upon returning. In Season 3, Savitar is revealed to be born from a Stable Time Loop. Savitar murdered Barry Allen's lover Iris West. In rage and despair, Barry creates Time Remnants to help him hunt down Savitar, but one of them inevitably turns to the dark side from being rejected by Barry and his family and becomes Savitar. Barry and his friends break the loop by preventing Iris from being killed, then Iris shoots Savitar dead. Now that the conditions that made him are impossible, Savitar ceases to exist. However, everything Savitar has done up to that point remains, including his murder of H.R. In the Season 5 finale, this turns out to be Thawne's plot: Cicada's power-dampening dagger was being used to imprison him, so he tricks Barry and the others into destroying it in the past, thus freeing him in the future. When they try to stop him, Nora, Barry's future daughter, begins to disappear. All the changes she has made to the timeline mean that she doesn't exist in this form any more. Barry tries to take her into the Negative Speed Force to survive the change, but she ends up deciding that Dying as Yourself is a better option. Barry and Iris hope that they will eventually see Nora again, one way or another, but they don't realize that the reason Nora disappeared is that the Crisis where Barry is destined to disappear has moved up to next year, before they have a chance to conceive any children. However, it is to be noted that everyone who interacted with Nora seems to remember her very well..

Ret-Gone / int_7fbf9019	comment	Naturally as a time travel story, this sort of thing was bound to happen in Steins;Gate. In the True End route, Suzuha, her mission complete, creates a timeline where Daru theoretically never has her, therefore Ret-Goning her out of existence. And there's only a vague inference that anyone will ever remember she existed aside from Kyouma. Naturally, her fans like to state her ending as the best end. The anime adaptation's exclusive 25th episode OVA shows, however, that Daru will eventually meet up with Suzuha's mother and she'll be born 7 years later in 2017. Her disappearance in the series is because only that particular version of her (a Shell-Shocked Veteran of World War III) never comes to be. This trope is the basis for the plot of The Movie, where Okabe's leaping across time is starting to do this to him.

To recreate the population, they first resurrected the Empress, then everyone the Empress remembered, then everyone they remembered, and so on. Many isolated villages and antisocial individuals were omitted from the restored Alphatia, as none of the Alphatians who did get restored had missed their presence. For them, being forgotten became the cause of non-existence, rather than the effect.

In the process, he accidentally killed a dog. This resulted in history being altered as the dog was supposed to raise the alarm about a fire. In the dog's absence, the fire killed many people who would have otherwise lived and their descendants were erased from existence. The story of Teddy Cochrane later served as a cautionary tale to other time travelers.

In the last issue, Future Steve finally saved the day and helped everyone survive the impending alien cow invasion, but because of this he can't exist anymore.... then only his skin vanishes first!

This has altered history, erasing such as World War II, nuclear weapons, and AIDS—but also things real history never had, like something called "Arnolone Syndrome" or a star whose light drove children insane. The Big Bad of Part 1 wants to obtain this power or failing that, allow herself to be eaten and erased out of a twisted sense of love towards the Chainsaw Devil and revenge against the world. Since Makima is the Control Devil, this would cause complete societal collapse. One of the main goals of the War Devil in Part 2 of the series is to make Denji "throw up" the Nuclear Weapons Devil, thus restoring said devil's concept.

Ret-Gone / int_817acecf	comment	Implied in Fables. The Jack of Fables and Fables crossover even has the villain doing this to The Story Of Little Black Sambo, after Revise had more or less done this to him by censoring his myth. As an example of how effective Revise's power could be, the story showed Carl, the fourth little pig who built his house out of cloth. But Revise removed Carl from the story and everyone now thinks there have always been just three little pigs. A further point of this is that at one point the entity called Bookburner puts together an army of fictional characters such as the Comanche Skeleton, Man O' Fruit, Ann O' The Woods, and Lindy Lou the Pragmatic Cat. In-universe these characters and many more were all Fables whose stories were completely forgotten by the Mundy World, while Word of God states they were all specifically made up just for the series.

It also happens to several people affected by paradoxes up and down the timeline. This includes Alyssa Zaidelle, who should have died in the Purge, but is erased as a result of the protagonists fixing the paradoxes. It is eventually revealed by Lightning and Yeul that Etro's intervention at the end of the previous game (i.e. freeing everyone from crystal stasis) caused the paradoxes, and hence, all of the anomalies and disappearances.

Ret-Gone / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Kabuto does this with all of the characters in the prequel movie, all of whom are erased at the end of the movie when Kabuto travels back in time and creates the timeline of the show. The Kabuto from the movie disappears shortly after giving his belt to TV Kabuto. Kamen Rider Den-O has this as a potential risk of changes to history: people's memories of the correct version of the past will undo any damage caused by time travelers once the travelers leave, but if someone isn't remembered by anybody, then being killed in the past will make them disappear forever. This makes the Zeronos belt extremely dangerous to use, as it sacrifices a random person's memories of the user as the price every time they transform. Kamen Rider Kiva briefly attempts to do this to himself when he's Driven to Suicide, by going back in time to keep his parents apart. Fortunately he doesn't succeed. Kamen Rider Build ultimately deals with the Big Bad this way, by using him as a Living Battery for merging the World of Build with a world where the Sky Wall Incident never happened. As a result, when Build finally kills him, he's not just dead, but he and Pandora's Box never existed as far as the new Merged Reality Earth is concerned. Given what a horrible monster Evolt was, everyone is far happier. Kamen Rider Zi-O ends with the protagonist doing this to the entire show itself, as the only way for him to never become the Evil Overlord of the future is to have never become Zi-O at all. Since he's restructuring reality to do this anyway, though, he makes sure that all of his friends from the Bad Future are now his classmates in the new timeline. This also what the Another Rider's non lethally do to most of the Legend Rider's early on, as because they have their powers the Legend Rider's can't have them as well and their actions in the past typically make it so that they can never have become Rider's in the first place. Which means that for awhile past Rider's would only briefly get to throw down with Another counterpart before their suits would vanish and suddenly they'd have no idea what they were doing there and remember nothing about being superheroes. Thankfully Zi-O undoes most of this by the end.

When Hazuki intervenes in the game's final day, he brings Shibuya back to normal before it too is Inverted, but Rindo is the only one to survive with nobody else remembering any of the game's participants. When Rindo is given one more chance to make things right, it turns out this stuck for Kubo — while everyone else was brought back by Hazuki, nobody can remember Kubo except for Rindo, and even then it's only vague recollections.

Upon returning to their own time, it's actually rather pleasant, up until Chode and Gus brought in the concept of evil with them, which caused an immediate death spiral for all life everywhere. The reason why? Well, with no God to tell people what NOT to do, no one ever had the idea of doing anything bad. No God, No Evil. But once the concept of "Evil" was brought in from the outside, with no fear of divine punishment for any crimes you commit, well, there's no reason NOT to do terrible things, up to and including senseless murder.

The Soviet Union under Stalin then develops into an unstoppable war machine in the European power vacuum, causing World War II to happen anyway, just a decade later and with some sides changed (Germany heading up the Allied forces, Russia fighting them on its own, and Japan and the US not getting seriously involved). The Allies in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 developed the Chrono Legionnaire which could erase units from the timestream completely over a few seconds while they're left utterly helpless and untouchable. Weaponized Ret-Gone anyone? In the intro to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the Soviets travel backwards in time to remove Albert Einstein from history in 1927, since it was his Chronosphere technology responsible for the Allies' victory in Red Alert 2. When they return to the present, the war was never lost, Einstein never existed, and there is no nuclear technology. Only the three Soviets who travelled back are aware of the changes. The events of Red Alert 2 were completely erased. Of course Hitler, having previously been retgonned by Einstein, stayed retgonned.

This new, whole Superman has never dated Wonder Woman, and is all but said to have only ever dated Lois Lane. After Superman: Reborn, there's an issue of Clark recounting his past, from the beginning of his career as Superman to his current life. One of the things he remembers is his death and the Supermen who came after. Missing is Kon-El, Superboy (and all non-Kryptonian Supergirls). Superman does say he feels like something's missing. Kon-El (Conner) was definitely erased as his best friend (Tim Drake) had no clue who he is, but upon hearing his name felt like he was missing someone. Tim and Stephanie Brown set off to figure out what happened to the timeline, and found Kon had been shuffled off to Gemworld and therefore spared from the mess that created the New 52 but stranded from the main universe. Superboy (1994): The Hypertension storyline had this happen to Director Westfield. Contact with Hyperium, a substance that allows travel through Hypertime, erased him and every single one of his counterparts from the multiverse. Only the memory of him remained, apparently enough to allow for new versions of Westfield to appear in future iterations of the multiverse.

Naturally, timeline changes can also invoke this on others; the main character intends to kill Emperor Nuvius, the Big Bad, in the past in order to prevent him from killing the other Time Messengers in the present.

It takes one month for it to repair itself, but it also means he would need to make a very important decision: leave Caius behind and return home, or form a contract that would also essentially rewrite history to where Koichi never existed back in his original home. He heavily considered going back home due to his sentimental ties with his mother and classmates, but ultimately stays with Caius.

Ret-Gone / int_967347ea	comment	The end of the Revolutionary Girl Utena manga has Utena erased from the memories of the entire cast, with the exception of Touga, who mourns her passing worse because he cannot share his mourning with anyone. Only just then, Chuchu dresses up like Utena, and then Anthy walks by, now dressed in a boy's uniform like Utena had worn, so obviously some things have changed - and, as she says, Utena is not gone, but out there somewhere. Same happens in the anime series (minus Touga remembering and Chuchu in Utena's outfit) and Anthy, dressed in civilian's clothes and with her hair down, sets off with Chuchu to find Utena again, implying that she wasn't so much "erased" as "moved away" from the other characters' world, which signifies her transition from childhood to adulthood -- and, for Anthy, freeing herself from Akio and his plans (and leaving Akio deprived of her presence as his pawn, thus making all his plans crumble from then on as he can't set duels without Anthy as the Rose Bride anymore) and giving her the chance to ''finally'' start her own life.

Downplayed, because it's implied that he and his sister Pyrrha will still be born in the new continuity (there's even a moment in Cassandra's Soul Chronicle where she and her brother Lucius talk about naming Sophitia's firstborn, which was Pyrrha in the original timeline), but Patroklos' cruel, self-centered, wholly unlikable Knight Templar characterization from V (which went over with the fandom like a loud fart at Easter Mass) will never come to be, thanks to Cassandra's efforts.

However, Sonic created a Stable Time Loop by retrieving the egg, putting it back in the fridge and then making sure the accident happened, ensuring Robotnik exists. Later on, Robotnik himself absorbs the Chaos Emeralds' power and becomes a god, using his newfound power to erase Sonic from the timeline and create a new present where he rules and Sonic's pals are either his servants, frightened civilians, or dead. Of course, since, due to the Stable Time Loop, Robotnik only exists because of Sonic, one has to wonder how Robotnik didn't Ret-Gone himself as well.

Ret-Gone / int_9ab32c13	comment	Pony POV Series: Any being who gets erased gets separated into their Light of Existence and Shadow of Existence. The Light returns to Fauna Luster and the Shadow inhabits Oblivion, the realm of Entropy. The Shadow of Existence has the memories and personality of the original person, but nobody can remember them except the Gods, people Immune to Fate, Time Lords, and anyone else with Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, and any evidence of their existence disappears. It is possible to restore someone to existence by reuniting their Shadow and Light, but it is also possible to destroy a Shadow, rendering that person Deader than Dead. Entropy, as the Anthropomorphic Personification of Heat Death, is capable of erasing anything from existence at will (at least as long as they're in her domain). Most notably, she did this to one of her children when ___ talked back to her, or so was believed. ____ was actually a Knight Templar who desired to wipe out all the gods and Entropy did it to stop him, with Fauna Luster actually helping her because the consequence of ____ winning was just that horrible of a prospect. She's even capable of erasing the other Elders, just they're capable of willing themselves back into existence due to being on the same plane as her. She does this to her husband Havoc, the Anthropomorphic Personification of Mass Hysteria, on a regular basis to the point it's described as being equal to one member of a bickering couple shoving the other one. The entire pantheon was forced to erase the entire G3 timeline and everyone and everything in it, because its very existence was creating a Reality-Breaking Paradox. The Blank Wolf from Shining Armor's Arc, a mysterious entity that's been chasing Shining Armor, erases anything it eats, and seems intent on doing this to him. Made all the more frightening by its Implacable Man status. He ends up turning it on Makarov/The Shadow of Chernobull instead. Minuette also gets rid of The Master by feeding the fob watch that contains his essence to the Blank Wolf. It manages to erase Shining Armor, but his Shadow of Existence fights his way back to Princess Cadence and The Power of Love restores him. It is revealed that in the original timeline, Twilight Sparkle's uncle Cool Sun had a daughter named Athena. Unfortunately, when Shining Armor was inserted into the timeline, the changed circumstances made Cool Sun never meet his wife and then die early, meaning Athena never existed. Athena's Shadow of Existence speaks to Shining Armor and forgives him for this. This briefly happens to the entire Changeling race after Makarov alters history so that they became extinct. They are restored when Makarov is erased by the Blank Wolf. Nightmare Eclipse/Paradox has done this to Dark World several ''billion'' times via her GroundhogDayLoop plan, herself and Discord being the only survivors of the original loop. A Concept Killing Weapon can erase any object it destroys and any being it kills, and it can kill even a god. Cupid was killed by one. Erasing him also erased a great multitude of beings, since Cupid wasn't around to make their parents get together. In the Finale Arc, Nyarlathotrot creates an Evil Knockoff of the Blank Wolf called the Dark Hound or the Moon Howler, with the same ability to erase anything it eats. With the help of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Button Mash, the Blank Wolf defeats and devours it, so the Dark Hound gets erased itself. In the Finale Arc, Discord battles the heroes by splitting himself into his various character assets. Goatcord, who represented his insanity, gets erased when Scootaloo wraps her cape, which was a gift from Entropy and has some of her power, around her hoof and literally punches him into Oblivion.

Ret-Gone / int_9d34190a	comment	In the The Elder Scrolls series' universe, there is a method by which mortals can ascend to godhood. It has several names and variations (the "Psijic Endeavor" championed by the ancient Chimeri prophet Veloth and Tribunal deity Vivec, the idea of "Ehlnofic Annulment" championed by the Alessian Order, etc.) but each, essentially, teaches that mortals can "observe the entirety of the universe" (ie, realize that they are in a video game) and then accomplish one of three things. The first is CHIM, where one becomes aware of this nature, exists as one with it, and maintains a sense of individuality. (Vivec hints at this in his 36 Lessons book series and outright claims to have achieved this in developer written supplemental works.) The second is Amaranth, where one exits this universe to create one's own. The third, which occurs if one fails to maintain their individuality in either step, is Zero-Sum, where one experiences the "extreme" version of this trope, ceasing to be and fading into the universe as if you never were. (Note that, despite the name, the Psijic Endeavor has nothing to do with the Psijic Order. The Psijic Order does not believe that there really is a fundamental difference between ancestor spirits and gods in the first place, and ascending to divinity has never been mentioned as a motivation of theirs.)

Ret-Gone / int_9d3a804e	comment	In Legacies, it's revealed that the reason no one knows about the existence of monsters (besides vampires, werewolves, and witches) is because a secret government agency has been hunting them down and dropping them into a puddle of black goo called Malivore. Anything dropped into Malivore is instantly wiped from the public consciousness, although physical evidence remains, which is why we still have myths about those monsters. Even if someone manages to make it out of Malivore, the memory isn't restored. This is first brought up with the evil Necromancer arrives and boldly identifies himself, assuming the mere mention of his name is enough to terrify people. It takes him a bit to grasp literally no one has any idea who he is. He's told about the memory erasing and when it's mentioned dragons are among them, he scoffs "please, they don't exist" only to be informed they did. To him, the true crime is less what has happened and more the idea the world could forget him. The season finale has Hope jumping into the Malivore itself to destroy it from within. This leaves everyone at the School with no memory of her existing which shifts several of the personal dynamics. In season 2, she comes back but has to deal with the fact that no one, including her boyfriend Landon, remembers her. Even worse, Landon has moved on and is dating another girl. She knows she can't fault him for that, but it still hurts. It's later explained that Malivore was a Golem created by a witch, a vampire, and a werewolf to hunt other types of supernatural creatures, which were rampaging across the world. They did put in a Restraining Bolt preventing Malivore from attacking their three species. Eventually, Malivore's creators decided to end the creature, but it has grown intelligent and decided it didn't want to die, so it convinced humans to help it fight off the three supernaturals. Malivore then tried creating other golems in order to not be alone, but no attempt was successful. One such attempt became known as Ryan Clarke, although he looks human. Clarke resented his father for treating him like a failure and conspired with the humans to turn the golem into goo.

In Avengers Forever, Wasp and Captain Marvel (from the present and future Avengers teams, respectively) meet these Avengers, much to their confusion, as they know damn well the team never existed in their timeline, and this is supposed to still be their timeline. The discrepancy is explained by the arrival of Immortus, who wipes out the standing section of time (nearly taking Marvel and Wasp with it) in order to prevent a confrontation between Earth and the Skrull Empire, who had one of its agents impersonating Not-Yet-President Nixon. The now nonexistent Avengers team was later resurrected and reinstated in their place in the 50s as a different team, known as the G-Men, who later became the Agents of Atlas. Phew.

He quickly becomes consumed by paranoia regarding some tragedy befalling Enos before he can have children, therefore resulting in Fry's own non-existence. His overprotectiveness towards Enos is, naturally, what ends up actually getting him killed. To Fry's great surprise, he still exists. Enos's grieving girlfriend — a.k.a. the woman Fry initially assumes to be his grandmother — turns to Fry for some Sex for Solace due to his resemblance to Enos. Fry is naturally averse to the idea of sleeping with his own grandmother (however young and attractive she may currently be), but then he realizes that, since he still exists, Enos must not have really been his grandfather, and therefore this woman must not really be his grandmother, so he goes for it. He's half-right. The woman is his real grandmother, but his real grandfather is... himself. "The Late Phillip J. Fry" has another subversion. In this episode, you can only travel forward in time, albeit at any speed you desire. You can travel backward by going through one Big Crunch and another Big Bang, and as a result there's a universe out there with no Nazis. The politician Chris Travers from "Decision 3012" comes from a Bad Future, where Richard Nixon won the 3012 election, which he must prevent. Once Chris accomplishes his mission and wins the election, he is erased from the timeline since the Bad Future no longer exists, and all forget him.

When the heroes restore the timestream, the alternate timelines that spawned a healthy Barbara Gordon Batgirl and Alpha Centurian are erased, though Booster and Impulse are restored. The Team Titans were originally shown to be from an alternate future who traveled back in time to the 1990s. They briefly worried that altering the past might erase their future and themselves, only to realize the timelines differed. In Zero Hour, it turns out their future was one of many "dark timelines" created by villain Monarch to use the "heroes" as his army. After Monarch's defeat, this entire timeline is wiped out and the Team Titans vanish. The only ones left behind are Mirage and Terra II as it turns out they're actually from the present, having been given new memories by the Time Trapper to be his "moles" inside the Team.

It soon becomes apparent that time travel doesn't work that way: Going back in time merely creates an alternate timeline, so they plan to go back in time, retrieve past copies of the Infinity Stones, and return to their time where they can use the Stones to resurrect the lost. However, while actually changing the past is impossible, effectively changing the past by using the Stones to rewind the universe is still theoretically possible. Tony therefore emphasizes several times that they are only going to resurrect everyone who died and bring them to the present. In the end it works, and Tony's daughter (along with anyone else who was born since) survives.

After inevitably getting your ass kicked multiple times, if you are connected to the internet, you will be offered help from other players, which makes the section trivially easy. Afterwards you are told that the only reason those players were able to help you was because they erased their save file in order to do so. You are then given the choice to erase your own save file in order to help someone else, and told that nobody will ever know if you choose not to.

Ret-Gone / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: The defeat of Chaos (aka Garland) in Final Fantasy brings about the end of the Stable Time Loop; as a result, nobody remembers him or his defeat at the hands of the Light Warriors. Additionally, nobody remembers the Light Warriors either, nor any of their exploits. Including the Light Warriors themselves. Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning's survival at the end of the original game undergoes this treatment (everyone except Serah thinks she died with Vanille and Fang). It also happens to several people affected by paradoxes up and down the timeline. This includes Alyssa Zaidelle, who should have died in the Purge, but is erased as a result of the protagonists fixing the paradoxes. It is eventually revealed by Lightning and Yeul that Etro's intervention at the end of the previous game (i.e. freeing everyone from crystal stasis) caused the paradoxes, and hence, all of the anomalies and disappearances. The idea gets revisited in a subversion with Final Fantasy XIV. In the chapter "The End of an Era", the player characters who are fighting to end the war against The Empire encounter Bahamut and can only watch as the elder primal rains destruction across the land. Louisoix saves the world's only hope, the player characters, by sending them several years into the future while he performs a Heroic Sacrifice to stop Bahamut. Once A Realm Reborn came to be (patch 2.0), everyone forgets who the warriors that fought Bahamut were and can only remember them by a figure shrouded in light, dubbing them the Warriors of Light. While said warriors still exist, no one can remember them. This is taken a step further if a Legacy player completes the main storyline where everyone remembers that the player is indeed the Warrior of Light. Endwalker reveals that this memory-alteration is a side-effect of the huge amounts of aether disruption that happened when Bahamut started came down and started raising hells, as a similar method (including its reversibility under the right circumstances) is used by the Forum of Sharalayan.

Ret-Gone / int_a825da3e	comment	In Magic: The Gathering: Some cards, such as Door to Nothingness, Time Wipe and Ã†ther Snap do this, according to their flavor texts. You can actually do this to yourself with the Pact Cycle, flavor-wise. These involve borrowing mana from the future. When it's time to send mana into the past, if you can't, you erase yourself from existence. Apparently it happened to Zhalfir. Teferi "phased it out" (transported it to the future) to prepare for the Phyrexian invasion, and when it was time for it to "phase in", it couldn't. Eventually dealt with as of March of the Machine, with Zhalfir returning in full and becoming a separate plane, "replacing" the irrevocably corrupted Mirrodin. At the end of the Tarkir story-line, Sarkhan Vol significantly alters alters his world's history so that dragons never went extinct on that world. Despite over a thousand years of altered history, most people Sarkhan knew still very much exist (albeit with heavily altered lives). However, none of them have any recollection of Sarkhan himself, as he apparently was never born in this time-line. Paradoxically, every event he took part in on other worlds was completely unaffected (as it includes some pretty important ones in the MTG time-line). He doesn't angst over it for long, instead seeing it as a fresh start on a better version of his world. One of the Legendary creatures in the Mystic Intellect precon deck - Elsha of the Infinite - doesn't exist anymore as her timeline was destroyed due to that time traveling.

At that point Brona gives them the opportunity to live in her limbo-like Asylum while any effects they had on other people are erased. Kids go with Brona for various reasons. Some of them want to undo a crime they committed, like Jonathon, who set his brother on fire, or Cody, who attempted to shoplift perfume and broke the bottle, resulting in a fine for his grandma. Some of them want to be erased because they weren't what their families wanted, like a gay boy and a dyslexic girl. And some of them impulsively agree to go with Brona because of guilt over something minor, like Liam, who cheated on a book report. In most cases, people lose all memories of their vanished family members, but Liam's brother Charlie has a Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory caused by Brona as an attempt at luring him into the asylum, causing him to spend a year desperately searching for Liam while his parents and classmates think he's crazy for imagining a brother who never existed.

Only shortly after the story begins, her therapist tells her that her son never existed, but was made up by her after a miscarriage. Telly frantically tries to prove that she's not crazy, but every single person who ought to know her son has forgotten him, and every scrap of evidence is missing or destroyed. Turns out aliens took her son, along with several other children, and tried to see how much it would take for the parents to forget them. Everybody else who clued in, including several non-parents who knew the children, gets randomly flung into the sky and disappears. Telly is not; instead, the alien wipes her memory since the birth of her son. Upon realizing that she (obviously) has memories from before that birth, i.e. her pregnancy, the alien is hurled into the sky.

Ret-Gone / int_ac8b90f5	comment	Mage: The Ascension: The Arcane background is a sort of "cloaking" from the Universe. Records, memories and evidence for the existence of an Arcane character slip away from the world, slowly at low levels ("You're easy to forget.") while at high levels people start forgetting you as soon as you leave the room (the five dot version's description is "In other people's minds, you don't even exist."). Oh, and the stat potentially goes up to ten for NPCs (and really powerful or unlucky PCs). Not bad for mages, who really want to hide from the world, but it may become a hindrance for other people. Think The Net. The Virtual Adepts can do that. Don't piss them off. Wrinkle, the Paradox spirit who deals with sufficiently obnoxious temporal meddlers, is rumored to deal with the worst cases by rewriting time so they were never born. Online fan-created material suggests that the Syndicate and New World Order factions could do this by way of Un-person, due to their paradigms of magic. The Ahl-I-Batin, or hidden ones, used a ritual to increase their Arcane rating in order to hide from the Technocracy. It has Gone Horribly Right, in that some of them increased their rating enough to wipe themselves from existence entirely. It is implied that at rank 10, the universe itself forgets you, hence you apply this trope to yourself. According to Guide to the Traditions, this is what happened to the Etherite Czar Vargo when he shattered the Masquerade in an attempt to stop the First World War - his act of magic was so public, and so at odds with consensus reality, Paradox retgonned him and his allies out of existence. Worse, the effect was progressive: initially, it was his attempt to stop the war that got retconned, then as time went on it extended backwards through Vargo's timeline to the point that the village he came from ended up never having existed. Some few mage witnesses still remember Vargo, but they get fewer and fewer as time passes and the Paradox effect gets to them. (Related to the note above, a sidebar comments that the Technocracy, whatever else it's capable of, couldn't manage to Ret-Gone an event on that scale itself, as it's not that powerful. Paradox is.)

By using his newfound power of speeding up time, he speeds up time so much that the universe loops back on itself and reality is reset. However, as he is killed before completing the loop, the universe Snaps Back into a slightly altered version, and Enrico Pucci is nowhere to be seen. Which is interesting, considering that he wanted to inflict this on the entire Joestar bloodline. Sadly, this happens to a hero from the same part, as well. F.F. refuses Jolyne's offer to take the Foo Fighters disc when she dies, on the grounds that even if it were inserted into something else, it wouldn't be her. As such, in line with that request, there is no counterpart for F.F. in the new reality. It wouldn't be possible for her to exist anyway, as Pucci created her by putting the Foo Fighters disc into a patch of plankton, and he's gone too.

This includes four of the nine main characters, and presumably all the side characters who died. The five survivors are the only ones who remember that they ever existed once they return to the real world. The sequels also deal with aftereffects of remembering someone that was wiped from reality. Specifically, Naomi's huge mental breakdown over nobody remembering Seiko and Shinozaki's guilt over being responsible for introducing everyone to the ritual that ended up getting her friends killed. But this series plays with the trope: although the Nirvana/Heavenly Host causes that the people who died inside aren't remembered, it doesn't erase their souls, it only alters the memories of the people. In Blood Drive, the souls are freed and all the memories restored... at the cost of Ayumi (and Yoshiki, because he stayed with her)'s presence in history, as they are erased from their friends' memories and from all photos or records, but they are still alive. So while they don't exist for the world, people can still see them... They just won't remember them.

Ret-Gone / int_ba56500d	comment	In the Timeless pilot, after Lucy comes back from 1937, she is shocked to discover that her previously-comatose mother is perfectly fine. Then she gets a second dose, when she realizes that her sister Amy never existed. It turns out, when Flynn saved the original passengers of the Hindenburg, a descendant of one of the people who died in the original timeline married the man whom Lucy has always thought as her father. Thus, her sister was never born. She also realizes that her mother has been lying to her about who her real father is. In a later episode, Wyatt intentionally tries to erase the man he thinks killed his wife from existence by preventing his parents from having a one-night stand. He accidentally causes the father's death, but, upon returning to the present, is shocked to find out that his wife is still dead. Someone else must have killed her. Agent Christopher gives Lucy a flash drive with the information on her wife and kids, just in case something accidentally causes them to cease to exist as well. She asks Lucy to keep the flash drive in the time machine and give it to her in that eventuality. The flash drives proves useful, when Rittenhouse sends agents to try to kill Christopher in 1981, which would prevent the team from being assembled in the first place. Even though the assassination fails, Christopher's kids are nearly retgonned by her accepting an Arranged Marriage proposal, before Lucy and Jiya convince her to come out to her mother instead. This is Flynn's end goal as well - to erase Rittenhouse from existence in order to bring back his wife and daughter, who were murdered by Rittenhouse agents. This is also why Rittenhouse has financed the time travel project in the first place, planning to use the time machine to cleanly remove people they don't like from reality. In season 2, the inverse happens, when Wyatt discovers that his wife Jessica is still alive after something Rittenhouse did. While this is great news, it's also coming at the worst time possible, as he has just started sleeping with Lucy.

Volgin won, used Shagohod, and all hell broke loose. More importantly, Solid, Liquid and Solidus are now Ret-Goned, with all the consequences it brings. Think on it for a second.

Ret-Gone / int_bb3fde3d	comment	In one episode of Danny Phantom, Sam gets in a fight with Danny and wishes they had never met. In the presence of a wish-granting ghost. Take a wild guess what happens. Sam herself is unaffected, thanks to a Fenton Device. It's revealed that she's directly responsible for his powers (and his snazzy new shirt logo). The fading-photograph trope (resulting in awkward gaps that wouldn't have actually happened) features heavily (although why the warded copies were on her person in the first place... just go with it). While in the presence of the wish-granter again, she managed to wish everything back to normal (relatively speaking), except for the outfit, because she likes it. Although it is the relationship that is retgonned, not any person. In contrast, when Danny stops his parents from meeting, Jazz was retgonned.

The Time Trapper explained he was behind Mon-El's origin and Mon-El would retroactively cease to exist if he killed him. Mon-El declares that other heroes will rise in his place, and kills him. Fade to white. Legion of 3 Worlds: Superboy-Prime meets the Time Trapper in the end, now revealed to be a future, older Prime.

Arthur and Fenchurch are travelling around the galaxy, and make a "perfectly ordinary hyperspace jump." Once they get out of hyperspace, Fenchurch has disappeared, the seat next to Arthur is empty, and records show that Arthur boarded the flight alone. In the radio series, the flight attendant points out that Arthur has his feet on the empty seat. This is apparently a hazard of being from a Plural sector, the parts of the universe which have a multiverse. Hyperspace jumps interact with that in weird ways.

Ret-Gone / int_bc6fee38	comment	One of the extradimensional artifacts that appears in anachronauts is Oblivion, a large and ornately-decorated revolver which never runs out of bullets and does this to anything it shoots. It's lampshaded several times in the text that its "edits" are relatively clumsy, as these things go; it's a freakin' Hand Cannon, it doesn't do "subtle". The full Nightmare Fuel potential of such a weapon comes up a couple of times, such as when Carrie realizes why the current owner has no parents (an accident; it's implied the thing is more than a little cursed), and when he brings it to school and opens fire in an empty library. Eventually disposed of by having Carrie literally invoke "faster than a speeding bullet" to make it shoot itself, undoing all of its previous edits in a spectacular (and again, very unsubtle) flurry of people and things appearing out of thin air.

It's a bit of a subversion for two reasons: Originally she never really existed in the first place being a collection of random memories given a soul, and Ichigo walks right by her in the movie's ending. Still, she's essentially Ret-Goned. Because she's a movie character she's probably never going to be brought up in canon again, meaning she's never going to be re-introduced to the cast.

Ironically, this ends up happening to her a different way later on, as her third wish (to gain the power to grant wishes herself) results in her and the genie Azie switching lives. As Azie explains, reality has been altered so that she's always been Dib's sister, and no one remembers Gaz ever existed.

Ret-Gone / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who "Invasion of the Dinosaurs": The Well Intentioned Extremists would have Retgoned everyone outside the protection field. This would have included nearly all of humanity, as well as the entire Silurian species. "The Invasion of Time": The De-Mat gun not only erases its target from history, but erases itself after being fired, as well as a bit of the wielder's memory. Since the Doctor is said to be the last of the Time Lords no matter what era of history he's in, the removal of Gallifrey and (most) of the Daleks could count as this. The armies of Neverweres and Might-Have-Beens in the Time War are theorized to be people erased by the Time Lords or other nutjobs (see the Big Finish examples in Radio). The cracks in time driving the plot of Series 5 have this effect: The cracks are first explained starting in "Flesh and Stone". Time travellers can still remember the victims unless they were part of the traveller's own history, as we learn in "Cold Blood" when Rory is erased. Things get worse in "The Pandorica Opens", where the TARDIS blows up, triggering the explosion that caused/will cause/is causing the cracks and threatening to Ret-Gone the ''universe''. In "The Big Bang", both Rory and the universe get better. The cracks only sort of scrape things off the surface; no one remembers the lost events, but they still happened. The best example is probably Amy Pond. She has no parents, she never had any parents, and she lives in a big empty house with her biological aunt, who is an only child. None of that makes the slightest amount of sense, but everyone's brains just sort of skip over it. "The Name of the Doctor": The Great Intelligence attempts a massive Ret-Gone on the Doctor himself. It almost works, but for the actions of Clara Oswald. "Thin Ice": Arriving in 1814 London, Bill is worried that she might do something like stepping on the archetypal butterfly that will change history and, say, prevent her from ever being born. The Doctor, seizing the opportunity for a joke, immediately tells her that that's what happened to Pete. "The Church on Ruby Road": After the Doctor and Ruby Sunday foil the Goblins' plot in the present, they go to the past and abduct Ruby when she was given up as a baby, forcing the Doctor to watch as the timeline updates around him and observe the consequences of Ruby's lack of existence. The last part of the plot is then about undoing the Goblins' change and getting the timeline to snap back to what it was originally.

As each disappears, only one of the astronauts remembers that the others existed, until he disappears too, then the spacecraft they returned in vanishes as well. Every time someone disappears, the audience sees that day's newspaper, saying something along these lines each time: "Three men return from space", "Two men return from space", "Lone man returns from space", and something about a "miracle birth". The Twilight Zone (1985): In "The Card", Linda Wolfe receives an invitation from a credit card company that specifically caters to people with a bad credit rating who have had their previous cards cancelled. When she misses the first payment, she finds that the family cat Boris has disappeared and she is the only one to remember that he even existed. The following week, Linda misses the second payment and their dog Scooby disappears. Linda vows never to use the card again but she is forced to do so when her car breaks down. When she gets home that night, she discovers that her children Matt, Evan and B.J. have disappeared. The next day, Linda goes to the card company and demands to speak to the office manager Catherine Foley. While there, she sees her children, who fail to recognize her, being led into a room marked "Disbursements". Mrs. Foley explains to her that they may be returned to her if she writes them a check. Linda does so but Brian tells her that the bank called and he cancelled it. Further penalties are then made against her. Brian disappears and household items begin to vanish in front of her. When she cuts the card in half, it falls to the ground. The final scene shows that Linda herself has ceased to exist and there is an empty lot where her house once stood. The Twilight Zone (2019): In "The Comedian", whenever a stand-up comic mentions something connected to his personal life during his routine, it instantly disappears from existence.

When someone points out that he'd be erased as well, he reveals that, like the Tripredacus Council (the three Cybertronians running the Predacon government), Tarantulas is descended from another group of bots.

Anyone engulfed by its white fog attack is wiped from existence, including not only the memories of anyone who knew them but also any physical evidence of their life. The only way to know somebody has fallen victim to the fog is for them to be member of a hierarchal organization where the sudden absence of someone filling their role would be instantly noted. Subaru is the only person who can remember them as his Return by Death ability allows him to retain his memories regardless. The Archbishop of Gluttony is able to eat the name and memories of his victims. This renders them comatose and erases them from the memories of everyone else as seen with Rem.

Ret-Gone / int_d11cd383	comment	Kamen Rider Den-O has this as a potential risk of changes to history: people's memories of the correct version of the past will undo any damage caused by time travelers once the travelers leave, but if someone isn't remembered by anybody, then being killed in the past will make them disappear forever. This makes the Zeronos belt extremely dangerous to use, as it sacrifices a random person's memories of the user as the price every time they transform.

When you start the game again, it initially tries to render her interactions, but they all come out as broken sprites and garbage text, before the game resets and treats her as if she never existed. Though the player may easily not notice it, this correlates with her file being gone from the "Characters" folder. The same sort of thing can also happen to other characters if their files are removed and the game is restarted. It Makes Sense in Context, but to explain why would spoil the whole plot even more than this.

One alien hints that entire civilizations have been erased this way, and that's only the ones who left evidence behind. Redemption Arc shows a variation of this. In both cases, the only person who remembers the missing person being there at the time of the event was there in the room with them. However, these people didn't vanish from time. A look in the records showed that they did exist, but died years earlier and if they hadn't died, they very likely would have ended up working on the project that they are claimed to have vanished during. This implies that the witness, or at least their memories of the person, was transplanted into an alternate universe where that person was already dead.

It turns out she was his wife, but got erased in the aftermath of a Time Crash event due to a Close-Enough Timeline. This was the result of Samaritan's first mission. He eliminated the Bad Future he came from and wiped out all of his loved ones from his original timeline. In fact, two of the stories featuring Samaritan strongly hint that the reason why he's been obsessively doing good acts is to make up for deleting the loved ones of his original timeline. Talk about Survivor's Guilt! This is also what led to Infidel becoming Samaritan's Arch-Enemy — when Samaritan eliminated his Bad Future, he also accidentally eliminated Infidel's empire in the distant future. Prior to their truce, many of their battles involved one trying to eliminate the other's reality. Preventing this is why the Silver Agent willingly allows himself to be executed.

Oh, and when the game says all trace of your existence will be erased, it means it. Choosing to sacrifice yourself will erase your save file, making it as if you never even played the game in the first place.

The writer suggested that one way to handle this is to have any normal item hit by a Giga-Damage weapon is not only vaporized, but never existed at all. He goes on to explain how he used a Giga-Damage weapon in his game to destroy a piece "of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria"note No, that wasn't written wrong. The writer himself seemed to think that Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria was the name of one ship.

Ret-Gone / int_ebffc81f	comment	In Mage: The Awakening, the Red Word cult (who worship an alternate timeline so abhorrent that it was aborted from reality into the Abyss, where it attained sentience and got really pissed off), devour people in order to symbolically wipe them from this history. If they do it in their sacred temple, it actually happens with all evidence that the person existed gradually fading away. In the same game, the Cult of the Doomsday Clock are attempting to destroy the Fallen World (i.e., this one) in order to free themselves to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. (Needless to say, the heads of the cult are all Abyssal beings.) Their key weapon for this is a Doomsday Clock, which not only erases everything around it, but goes back through time and erases it there, eventually leaving a gaping hole in both the world and history. This is particularly associated with archmages: If someone fails during the process of becoming an archmage, they die and are retroactively erased from history. If someone succeeds at becoming an archmage, it's possible that the changes the transition causes result in something or someone the archmage knew getting removed from history. If an archmage completes an Imperium Rite that involves removing something from reality, that something - be it a place, a society, etc. - now never existed. When the Exarchs ascended to the Supernal, history was rewritten such that their original home, the Awakened City (aka Atlantis), had never existed. Artifacts and ruins from the Awakened City still survive, despite having no origin in this timeline... but they come from different — and contradictory — Awakened Cities.

Ret-Gone / int_ec28245c	comment	Dragon Ball Z inverts this with Goten, Goku and Chi-Chi's second son; Bra, Vegeta and Bulma's daughter; and Pan, Gohan and Videl's daughter: none of them existed in the original timeline, in which the Androids terrorize the Earth, since their respective parents died long before they would've been conceived (and this timeline's Gohan never even met Videl), but they all exist now thanks to Trunks' time traveling. Dragon Ball Super has Goku Black outright defies this trope. Even after his previous incarnation is killed, his possession of the Time Ring protects him from any changes made to history via time travel. Also defied with Cell, who came from the further future, where he was killed as a fetus in the present. Krillin and Future Trunks knew it wouldn't kill him, but could at least stop him from being born in the present timeline. Strangely enough, when Zamasu was killed in the present, no one brought up that it already failed with Cell. Although Beerus (who killed him) did state that since he was killed by a god, he thought he'd die in the future, you'd think they'd at least mention it. Trunks' timeline is eventually a double subversion of this. He changes the past, but creates an Alternate Timeline that he returns to that remains intact at least until it's eventually erased by Future Zeno.

When he originally fired the weapon at his people's greatest enemy, it restored the Krenim Empire, only to collapse due to an unforeseen plague (which also killed his wife) that only occurred because the enemy race had never introduced a vital immunity genome to the Krenim. In desperation, he fired it again to try fixing his mistake, managing to restore everyone, except for the colony in which his wife lived! This has led to his 200-year-long crusade to resurrect her that has failed every single time (he once restored 98% of the Krenim Imperium except the colony where his wife lived), causing him to become obsessed to the point where he's conducting a one man war against time itself! The plot is resolved when Janeway's kamikaze attack on the weapon ship causes the weapon ship itself to be erased from history, resetting time and reuniting Annorax with his wife.]]

Ret-Gone / int_f10a65b	comment	Legends of Tomorrow: This is how the Pilgrim kills her targets. Instead of killing them in their present, she finds their younger version and kill it, thus causing the future version to disintegrate. This is also why all Time Masters use fake names and conceal their past, since that makes it much more difficult to do this to them. In season 2, the Legends meet Rex Tyler (AKA Hourman), the leader of the Justice Society of America, who has been sent by a future version of Mick to warn the Legends about coming to 1942 (Tyler's time). However, Tyler disappears halfway through his warning. Later on, the team travels to 1942 and meets members of the JSA, while Tyler has no idea who they are. At the end of that episode, the Reverse-Flash kills him, so Tyler doesn't thwart his plans by warning the Legends (thus explaining his disappearance in the middle of his warning). In one episode in Legends season 3, Ray disappears from existence briefly due to a time anomaly causing him to be murdered at the age of 8. In season 4, the team finally comes up with a plan to fix the Bad Future where Zari came from. Which is great, but they're not sure what this will do to her, since she'll have little reason to join the Legends if her family wasn't murdered by a fascist state. She agrees to spend the climax in the Temporal Zone, where the timeline changes won't affect her. But then she has to leave to save Nate. Everything seems fine, they share a hug... but when they separate, Zari has been replaced by her brother, and no one notices anything different.

Dawn popped into existence, leaving the viewers scratching their heads for a while since all the characters acted as if Dawn had always been with them. It turns out that Dawn is fabricated, and all the characters have Fake Memories. Just what their memories of the first four seasons were changed to is never specified, but they all remember Dawn being there alongside them the entire time. A number of the official comics set during the first four seasons have Dawn as a character, with notes attached saying, in effect, "Yeah, she didn't exist back then, but everyone remembers her being there, so..." Angel: Angel has memories of his son Connor removed from all of his friends' minds, so that only he remembers Connor ever existed. The difference here is that Connor still exists, just not in the minds of the supporting cast. Their modified memories of what happened the previous seasons are never fully explained, even after certain characters get their memories back. From that same season, every mention and memory of The Beast was erased from our dimension by Jasmine. The Beast is still mentioned in a book from another dimension, where his information was not removed. Angelus also recalls the Beast because he was not in control of Angel when the erasure occurred.

Ret-Gone / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts seems to love this trope. Subverted in 358/2 Days. In the game's climax, Xion is absorbed by Roxas. As she was created from the memories of main character Sora, there was nothing left for anyone to remember her with after she's gone. The Ret-Gone appears to be played straight, but in the cell phone game coded, it is revealed through a conversation between Data Sora and Data Roxas that the real Roxas still feels the pain of losing Xion, even if he doesn't remember her. Interestingly, this pain is also felt by Data Sora, who states that even if he doesn't know the source of his turmoil, he's still resolved to do his best to fix it. Of course, it is also possible that the database entry where Xion learned about her past is still intact. In Dream Drop Distance, we learn Xion isn't entirely gone yet. She appears (and Ventus and Roxas too) when Riku enters Sora's heart. Kingdom Hearts III then puts it to rest with Xion returning as one of Master Xehanort's Thirteen Seekers of Darkness to replace their failure to make Sora that in 3D. While Xion has been erased from everyone's memories, the Seekers rediscovered her from the physical research notes her creator Vexen had kept together on her. From there, it was just a matter of preparing a new Replica body for her heart and plucking it from the timestream like the other Seekers. Lea is also revealed to subconsciously still remember Xion from his time as Axel, plus Xion was such an integral part of his memories that he knew something was up with the holes in the memories she should be in. Occurs with Sora during the year between Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II: while Sora is sleeping and NaminÃ© is reconstructing his memories, everyone who knew him (aside from Riku, Mickey, and, to a slightly lesser degree, Kairinote as she does forget his name) forgets that he existed until he awakens again. A minor variation on the trope occurs when all the photos owned by the residents of Twilight Town are stolen. Everyone remembers the photos, but the theft is so complete that even the word "photo" is stolen, and is blanked out of the characters' dialogues when they try to say it. And then later, on the final day, Roxas finds that not only has time stopped again, but all those same photos no longer have him in them. The real Twilight Town serves as a "world without Roxas." Look at the Twilight Town inside the simulation — even though we know that the town Roxas was in wasn't real, it feels to the players like Roxas never existed. It gets even more Mind Screwy when it appears as though the data Twilight Town has affected the real one—the Usual Spot gang coming to see Sora off for almost no reason—and Sora experiences Roxas' pain at being Ret-Goned without actually knowing why, seeming to play this trope straight, though in a non-standard way.

They don't actually remember baby Sara, so they can't be too mad about it, but Lyla does snipe at Barry about it a few times. In the set up for the scrapped Green Arrow and the Canaries spin-off, Dinah Drake (the second Black Canary) appears in 2040 shortly after Oliver Queen's funeral, with all record of her history — along with any evidence of a Black Canary at all — wiped clean in the intervening years. The Flash (2014): Harrison Wells, aka Eobard Thawne, aka the Reverse-Flash, disintegrates into nothingness when his ancestor, Eddie, kills himself. However, since he's such an important part of the timeline, history didn't change and everyone still remembers him. A younger version of him later arrives to trouble the heroes again. Barry defeats the younger version of Thawne and tries to imprison him forever, but is forced to allow him to return to the future because he became a key part of Cisco/Vibe's origin story. Cisco almost vanished from existence before Thawne was released. Thawne gets this again in the second season finale of Legends of Tomorrow. The Black Flash — literal death incarnate and sent by the Speed Force itself to remove any threat to the timeline — obliterates Thawne a second time. This still doesn't take, and Thawne shows up with the Earth-X Nazis for Crisis on Earth-X, at which point even Thawne just handwaves his continued existence. In the Season 2 finale, Barry goes back and saves his mother from Thawne. He then watches his past self, the one who failed to save her, smile and vanish into thin air. After Barry fixes the above timeline in season 3, Diggle's daughter Sara is erased from existence, and John Diggle Jr. is the Diggle baby now, possibly setting the Bad Future of the 2030s and 2040s in motion. Additionally, Cisco's brother Dante has been killed by a drunk driver several months prior in the new timeline, so he fits too. Interestingly, it's stated that time ripples don't cross into parallel universes, even if their timelines are intertwined. This means that Harry and Jesse are unaffected by Barry's changes to Earth 1's timeline, and they immediately start noticing changes upon returning. In Season 3, Savitar is revealed to be born from a Stable Time Loop. Savitar murdered Barry Allen's lover Iris West. In rage and despair, Barry creates Time Remnants to help him hunt down Savitar, but one of them inevitably turns to the dark side from being rejected by Barry and his family and becomes Savitar. Barry and his friends break the loop by preventing Iris from being killed, then Iris shoots Savitar dead. Now that the conditions that made him are impossible, Savitar ceases to exist. However, everything Savitar has done up to that point remains, including his murder of H.R. In the Season 5 finale, this turns out to be Thawne's plot: Cicada's power-dampening dagger was being used to imprison him, so he tricks Barry and the others into destroying it in the past, thus freeing him in the future. When they try to stop him, Nora, Barry's future daughter, begins to disappear. All the changes she has made to the timeline mean that she doesn't exist in this form any more. Barry tries to take her into the Negative Speed Force to survive the change, but she ends up deciding that Dying as Yourself is a better option. Barry and Iris hope that they will eventually see Nora again, one way or another, but they don't realize that the reason Nora disappeared is that the Crisis where Barry is destined to disappear has moved up to next year, before they have a chance to conceive any children. However, it is to be noted that everyone who interacted with Nora seems to remember her very well.. Legends of Tomorrow: This is how the Pilgrim kills her targets. Instead of killing them in their present, she finds their younger version and kill it, thus causing the future version to disintegrate. This is also why all Time Masters use fake names and conceal their past, since that makes it much more difficult to do this to them. In season 2, the Legends meet Rex Tyler (AKA Hourman), the leader of the Justice Society of America, who has been sent by a future version of Mick to warn the Legends about coming to 1942 (Tyler's time). However, Tyler disappears halfway through his warning. Later on, the team travels to 1942 and meets members of the JSA, while Tyler has no idea who they are. At the end of that episode, the Reverse-Flash kills him, so Tyler doesn't thwart his plans by warning the Legends (thus explaining his disappearance in the middle of his warning). In one episode in Legends season 3, Ray disappears from existence briefly due to a time anomaly causing him to be murdered at the age of 8. In season 4, the team finally comes up with a plan to fix the Bad Future where Zari came from. Which is great, but they're not sure what this will do to her, since she'll have little reason to join the Legends if her family wasn't murdered by a fascist state. She agrees to spend the climax in the Temporal Zone, where the timeline changes won't affect her. But then she has to leave to save Nate. Everything seems fine, they share a hug... but when they separate, Zari has been replaced by her brother, and no one notices anything different. Supergirl (2015): Part of the reason the League came from the distant future was in hopes of stopping a plague this way. One of Supergirl's current villains, Pestilence, will eventually evolve into Blight, who will go on a rampage across the universe. Once they succeed in preventing this from ever happening, all the other Legionnaires in stasis on their ship are suddenly cured, as if they had never been sick at all. The Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) crossover event inverts this with the above mentioned Sara Diggle, as the aftermath is a reality where both she and John Jr. exist.

Fortunately, Kaworu (who was behind the time travel) actually sent her back to a point after the danger had passed.

Ret-Gone / int_fa738078	comment	Happens to ChibiUsa in both versions of Sailor Moon that she is in; in the anime it's due to Mamoru being placed in an almost permanent state of dreaming by Queen Nehellenia in the manga it's due to Mamoru being thrown into the Galaxy Cauldron and melting away, soul and all., which causes her to never exist since Usagi can't get together with a guy who either never existed or has been brainwashed into a coma. She also gets retgoned after Galaxia Kills Mamoru In the manga, contrary to standard Grandfather Clauses, ChibiUsa is able to survive for an unusual amount of time after the point where her birth is made technically impossible; the future just becomes very stormy and unstable. In the anime version of this she's almost entirely retgoned however, vanishing from photos. The Sailor Senshi still seem to remember her however, they just can't tell things that are supposed to show her have changed. Chibi-Usa survives because when Galaxia kills Mamoru, she just takes his Golden Crystal. At that point, it's still possible for him to be revived as it happens later in that arc. However once he's thrown into the Cauldron, he's pretty much dead until Sailor Moon defeats Chaos. Spoofed in the Super S arc of the anime, when a girl who crushes on Mamoru appears and it looks like she might swipe Mamoru for herself. Chibi-Usa has a rather tragicomical Imagine Spot where Mamoru runs off with the Romantic False Lead and leaves Usagi, who then wails that "Chibi-Usa will not even be boooooorn!". Chibi-Usa brings herself back to the real world and tries to tell Usagi to kick the runner-up out of Mamoru's surroundings, but Usagi blows her off and says she's not worried about losing Mamoru's love. The Runner Up eventually realizes she can't break them up, and willingly steps out.

Ret-Gone / int_fb36f8bd	comment	The D20 setting Infernum incorporates Ret-Gone into its background; get swallowed by a Hellgout (a kind of naturally occuring portal that links Hell and Earth, which usually ends up acting like a black hole) and Earth will basically rewrite itself to wipe out your existence, with any remaining hints that you ever existed being subtle ones, a process referred to in-universe as "The Twisting". For example, the Knights of the Harrowing are the descendents of an order of overzealous Christian Crusaders called the Knights of the Sepulchre, an order dedicated to the reclaimation of the tomb where Jesus Christ resided for three days after being crucified, who deliberately invoked a Hellgout to swallow their fortress so they could lead a crusade against Hell. The vast majority of the deeds they accomplished have either been erased from history, or attributed to other orders. A rare few examples of their symbol, a charging crusader on horseback, are occasionally found on crumbling ruins in either the Holy Land or south France.

Ret-Gone / int_fbaae86c	comment	After Superman: Reborn, there's an issue of Clark recounting his past, from the beginning of his career as Superman to his current life. One of the things he remembers is his death and the Supermen who came after. Missing is Kon-El, Superboy (and all non-Kryptonian Supergirls). Superman does say he feels like something's missing. Kon-El (Conner) was definitely erased as his best friend (Tim Drake) had no clue who he is, but upon hearing his name felt like he was missing someone. Tim and Stephanie Brown set off to figure out what happened to the timeline, and found Kon had been shuffled off to Gemworld and therefore spared from the mess that created the New 52 but stranded from the main universe.

The only one to remember their existence was Kitty Pryde, who had a magical connection to Magik that even the Beyonder's godlike powers couldn't erase.

Ret-Gone / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: This is Q's main threat to Picard in the first ("Encounter at Farpoint") and last episodes ("All Good Things..."): to wipe humanity itself out so completely that it will never have existed. In "Yesterday's Enterprise", an alternate version of Tasha Yar finds out she shouldn't exist because she died in the "real" timeline they're trying to restore. The episode causes a Temporal Paradox when Yar "sacrifices" her life to restore the timeline — but later it's learned she was taken prisoner and gave birth to Sela. In "Remember Me", this happens to the entire crew of the Enterprise; only Dr. Crusher remembers the missing people. This leads to a rather odd scene in which only Picard and Crusher are left on the ship, and he insists that it makes sense that they can run the ship with only two people — then the computer insists after Picard vanishes that she has always run the entire Enterprise alone. Only after everyone is gone does Dr Crusher figure out that she's trapped in a pocket universe based on her own thoughts. And it's shrinking.
