One common way of portraying a character as moving very, very quickly in fiction is to make multiple images (technically speaking, afterimages) of them viewable at once. They appear to be moving so fast that they're in several places at once. For the sake of preventing confusion, usually the "non-static" parts are shaded with less color, so we're sure that a character is moving really fast as opposed to being a monster with eight arms. Indeed, this trope is much easier to show than it is to describe — it's one of those effects that usually has to be pointed out to a casual viewer for them to even realize it's there. In some fiction, the echoes are more than just a special effect — they're literal. Other characters can see them and be confused by them, making them effective covers for highly elaborate martial arts attacks. In video games, they can be used as an excuse to force the player to use timing to hit the "real" image. For various reasons, using speed echoes for the Doppelgänger Spin doesn't really make a whole heck of a lot of sense, but eh, roll with it. Note that sometimes this trope can be used somewhat lazily: a character will have speed echoes but aren't really moving all that fast. The echoes are just to make us think they're moving fast. This is somewhat distinct from Doppelgänger Attack, although technically a work can employ both at once. Related to Speed Stripes and Flash Step, both of which often employ this trope in their basic function. Indeed, you can see examples of speed echoes in action in both of those pages' images. Can also overlap with Colorful Contrails. |

Bleach: The first time we see Ichigo use his Bankai, the resulting speed increase is so great that Byakuya, who was previously shown as a speed demon, could only see afterimages (when his eyes didn't fail to keep track of Ichigo altogether). At one point, Ichigo is running so fast relative to Byakuya that he leaves multiple rows of speed echoes...moving in opposite directions. Simultaneously. This is also the main schtick of the Arrancar Zommari Leroux, at least his pre-Ressurecion form. Soi Feng does this when she confronts Aizen during the Arrancar arc. |

The GBA Fire Emblem games do this with many high-speed classes such as Swordmasters and Assassins to illustrate their speed. The Assassin's Silencer ability in particular uses the standard Critical Hit animation, but with motion blurs at the start. | |

The Flash and his fellow speedsters. This is actually weaponized by a (non-Flash) speedster in Grant Morrison's JLA run: he runs in such a manner that he leaves speed echoes in a strobing pattern, trying to disorient The Flash, who's chasing him at Super-Speed. | |

RWBY During their fight in Volume 3, Cinder throws a Flechette Storm of glass shards at Ozpin, who reduces every single one of them to dust without moving from the spot he's standing in. While his feet never move, his upper body moves so fast that it leaves echoes of himself all around him. Adam can channel his Semblance to increase his speed. During his Volume 6 fight, he runs so fast that he leaves behind multiple silhouettes of himself that look like shadows. Harriet's speed Semblance allows her to move so fast that she leaves behind an extremely faint echo of herself. It usually manifests when she either starts running from a standing start or when she changes direction in mid-run. Her lightning-themed Colorful Contrails are much more visible and easier to spot. During his fight in Volume 8, Oscar unconsciously begins tapping into his Semblance for the very first time. He strikes Ironwood multiple times, his arm speeding up so much that he leaves behind multiple echoes of it that blur together into short Colorful Contrails. As Ozpin's successor, it's the first sign that he has the same ability that Ozpin used against Cinder in Volume 3. |

The Transformers, Blurr is unsurprisingly animated like this. He also speaks like this — his mouth does not have clear animation frames because they overlap several consecutive animation frames, which causes his mouth shapes to be nothing but a series of afterimages when he says anything. | |

Ayakashi Triangle: Muga's "Dance of the Falling Leaves" creates an afterimage by rapidly accelerating to dodge at the last instant and then slowing back down just out of reach. To his opponent, Muga confusingly appears to be both slow-moving yet completely untouchable. His son Soga ends up managing to use the technique to avoid an awkward conversation with Matsuri. | |

Claymore: Phantom Miria moves so fast, she leaves afterimages of herself behind, greatly confusing her enemies. They think they struck her, then her "body" promptly dissipates and she's already behind them, ready to strike. Hysteria the Elegant uses a similar technique, but it's far more precise; Miria uses phantoms to distract her enemies for the split-second she needs to get behind them, whereas Hysteria uses her speed to immediately attack by charging her opponent, sidestepping at the last possible second, and moving behind them to slash them in the back. In this way, her afterimage appears to moving through her opponent. |

In Warframe, Mesa's Peacemaker ultimate leaves afterimages every time she changes pose while firing. This was more noticeable in a previous version of the game, where she could target enemies in all directions without changing camera angles; now she has a tendency to repeat the same pose for extended periods until the player aims in a new direction. | |

Used constantly with Quick Man in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. While quite understandable in his introduction (where he darts around on the screen like an overcaffeinated superball), he is considerably slower in the course of the battle. Gemini Man also has afterimages on both of his selves, but given the whole premise of his method of combat involves speed and deception, it's fitting. | |

One of the most prominent examples of this was the "afterimages with mass" created by the titular mech of Mobile Suit Gundam F91; in the climax Seabook used its ability to ablate molecule-thin layers of its armor (ostensibly to dissipate excess heat) to create a trail of illusory Gundams that distracted the Big Bad, allowing Seabook to go in for the kill. While the F91 is a fast machine, it's capable of shedding those armor layers regardless of how fast it's moving at the moment. | |

In Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, picking up the speed boost power up will cause your mobile suit to leave ghostly echoes of itself for a couple of seconds when it starts to move again after coming to a full stop. Also, the 'escape boost' causes a brief afterimage of your suit to flicker in the place you used to be while, implying that the emergency boost got your suit out of trouble so quickly that enemies are attacking where you seemed to be. | |

Super Mario Bros.: This happens to Mario or Luigi when you use the Rainbow Star in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

For some reason, shaking the Wii remote after jumping on an enemy also makes you leave afterimages while you're in the air. Count Bleck also leaves these and can slow his opponent to the same effect as the Slow Flower. Super Princess Peach: As shown in the Nintendo Direct trailer, Swordfighter Peach can do an acrobatic jump that leaves blue afterimages of her behind to position herself better and defeat certain enemies. WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!: In "Outta My Way", the smaller characters (Spitz, Kat, Ana, 9-Volt, and Orbulon) leave afterimages of themselves wherever they go. |

Gundam has this for some suits in various series, often when they activate a Super Mode: One of the most prominent examples of this was the "afterimages with mass" created by the titular mech of Mobile Suit Gundam F91; in the climax Seabook used its ability to ablate molecule-thin layers of its armor (ostensibly to dissipate excess heat) to create a trail of illusory Gundams that distracted the Big Bad, allowing Seabook to go in for the kill. While the F91 is a fast machine, it's capable of shedding those armor layers regardless of how fast it's moving at the moment. In Gundam 00, activating the GN Drive's secret "Trans-Am" protocol causes a Gundam to temporarily shine bright red and triple in speed and power, while leaving a trail of afterimages. In Gundam SEED Destiny, while using the high-speed movement of its "Wings of Light", the Destiny Gundam can leave behind images of itself formed from EM-refracting Mirage Colloid particles in order to confuse enemies. |

Sonic the Hedgehog and friends show this in the 2D games, mainly the Sonic Advance Trilogy, Sonic Rush, and Sonic Rush Adventure. First seen when Sonic became Hyper Sonic in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sonic also leaves these when doing certain Parkour moves or jumping on clouds in Sonic Lost World. It's also present when Sonic is using the Phantom Rush in Sonic Frontiers, which combines Flash Step with Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs to attack so quickly, it appears he's striking from multiple places at once. |

Frequently used in comics to display either superhuman speed or acrobatics. Spider-Man and Nightwing are the undisputed masters of the latter effect. For acrobatic characters, it's done largely to depict a full set of moves in a single panel, since they do enough leaping and twisting that their movements would otherwise confuse the reader. | |

This is one of Shinomori Aoshi's special attack in Rurouni Kenshin, Ryusui no Ugoki. Its weakness is while the flow of afterimages itself is seemingly unbreakable, the transition towards an offensive move (as is the case with the Jissen Kenbu combo attack) can be anticipated by a skilled opponent (like Kenshin and Okina). | |

Mega Man: This appears in the Mega Man X (since Mega Man X4 onwards), Zero and ZX games whenever the player dashes or dash-jumps. Used constantly with Quick Man in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. While quite understandable in his introduction (where he darts around on the screen like an overcaffeinated superball), he is considerably slower in the course of the battle. Gemini Man also has afterimages on both of his selves, but given the whole premise of his method of combat involves speed and deception, it's fitting. Anything using the Speed Gear in Mega Man 11 tends to leave behind blue afterimages. Dr. Wily gets the same effect when he jumps back and starts yet another begging-for-mercy routine. |

A rare written example in Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony; a pixie named Doodah Day is talked into helping the protagonists break into a mansion in return for having his meat-smuggling charges dropped. When sent in ahead, he disguises himself as the owners' son and suped-up a miniature car with a Magitek fuel cell. When a security officer realizes he isn't a real kid, Doodah hit the throttle, going from five to fifty thousand in two seconds, and is described as leaving behind a distinct and long lasting after image in his wake. | |

A variation is found in The Picard Maneuver of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The premise is that making a short warp jump allows a ship to overtake their own image travelling toward the observer and thus appear in two places at once. This maneuver only works on low-tech enemies, who rely on light-speed sensors only; an enemy ship with FTL sensors (i.e. most of the ones Enterprise runs across) can easily distinguish between the echoes and the real thing. | |
