You are one of the Big Damn Heroes. You've stormed the Evil Stronghold, rescued the Damsel in Distress, killed The Dragon, defeated the Big Bad, and even put the Sealed Evil in a Can they were worshiping in its place. Too bad you won't be aware enough of your own faculties to enjoy your victory. For some reason, one of the common rewards for a hero's victory is a one-way, all expenses paid trip to the Land of the Empty Mind, courtesy of Applied Phlebotinum Airlines. Maybe the Powers That Be decided they became too powerful during their journey to remain as they are, or they discovered some Earth-shattering secret about life, the universe, and everything that needs to be kept under wraps, or maybe they did it to themselves, in an ill-fated attempt to just live a normal life or realize their dreams, but whatever the case, shortly after their final victory over the Forces of Darkness, they become amnesiac derelicts who can't even remember their own name. ... in extreme cases, that is. Most of the time, it's just a form of Brought Down to Normal that can also undo any Character Development. Now that's a reward for saving the world! If Time Travel or Reality Warping is involved, victory may mean the past was rewritten so that the threat never existed in the first place, and neither did the struggles against it, even for the heroes. Sometimes, to add insult to injury, whatever they did to stop those forces in the first place is only temporary, requiring them to regain their memories so they can put an end to it, once and for all. If the mind wipe was self-induced, Always Need What You Gave Up. As with its supertrope, The Greatest Story Never Told, this is sometimes a component of a Bittersweet Ending. As this is a Victory Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

The 3rd movie of Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion) has this in an ominous sense; in fact it might even be an inversion depending on the viewers perspective. Homura takes over the God position of Madoka and creates a new world where both Madoka, Sayaka, and possibly other former witches are still alive. The new world, essentially, is one that every magical girl says they want. Sayaka and Madoka's memories are bound too; with Sayaka slowly getting Wistful Amnesia. However, Madoka's eyes still flicker gold indicating her power is still there. The whole thing is a Sequel Hook. | |

The Sentry — the world's greatest hero — saved the world from The Void, then makes everyone forget they ever heard of or met him, and he forgets he's a superhero. It takes The Void returning for him to remember, and slowly others do too. Note that is entirely Retcon... The Sentry was created with this Backstory already in place. It eventually turns out that it is actually backwards - his regaining his memory is what causes The Void to return, as it is his Enemy Without, and the whole amnesia thing was a Memory Gambit to keep The Void from being able to manifest. | |

Slade in the Ranma ½/Van Dread/Tekkaman Blade crossover Tekka Dread, when he died for a second time, then revived, pulling off a Big Damn Heroes moment. His revival came with the price of losing all memory of who he is and what had happened. Everyone tried their hardest to help Slade Remember who he is, but fail. He does get better, though. | |

A Certain Magical Index has a subverted example at the end of the series' very first arc. When Index goes Brainwashed and Crazy on her friends, she casts the spell "Dragon Breath" that causes feathers to fall from the sky. Coming into physical contact with just a single one is instantly fatal. When Touma undoes her brainwashing with his Imagine Breaker, he gets distracted by relief and one of the feathers graze his head. He survives due to Plot Armor but as a result of brain damage, all of his memories are destroyed permanently. He's fully aware of what happened but he can't undo it so he keeps it a secret and pretends nothing's wrong to keep his True Companions from worrying. He's so good at it in fact that neither of his primary Love Interests figure it out until very late into the novels. | |

The Outer Limits (1963): In "Fun and Games", a random man and woman who have never met get abducted by an alien and forced to complete in Gladiator Games against two similarly abducted aliens, and the losers get their home planet destroyed. The human team bonds and eventually manages to win, saving Earth. Their captor rewards them for their victory by returning them to Earth, but erases their memories of the whole experience, including of each other. The final scene shows the two perfect strangers passing each other with barely a glance. Played with in "The Premonition". A test pilot and his wife have an adventure while Just One Second Out of Sync with the timestream, including rescuing their daughter from being run over by a truck. Since they return to normal time at the same moment they left it, they seem to forget the entire experience... but somehow they remember enough to make sure their daughter is all right, leading to the episode's Title Drop. |

A variant occurs in Fullmetal Alchemist: Ed deconstructs Pride and reconstitutes him as a helpless human baby. In the epilogue, he's grown up to be a seemingly ordinary child, with no memory of the horrible things he did as a homunculus. In the 2003 anime version, Al gets his body back at the end and is happy — but has no memory of the events of the series. | |

Rave Master: Elie saves the whole universe from being destroyed in a massive explosion. Her second case of amnesia was induced by either repressing her memories because she also 'killed' Haru, the boy she loved, in the process or using so much etherion. | |

Unfortunately, the former doesn't take, as seen in Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns. At the end of that movie, he lets the protagonists keep their memories at their request He does get the one he missed the first time around, erasing all memories of the incident except for the fact that he lost.. Later movies don't even try the latter. | |

Used once or twice in the original Land of Oz books by L. Frank Baum, where the heroes tricked the villains into drinking from a fountain containing the Water of Oblivion — an amnesiac formula so powerful, it left the drinker still able to walk and talk...but not much else. | |

A particularly bittersweet version happens in Persona 2: Innocent Sin when the heroes have to forget about each other in order to create a new timeline where the world isn't destroyed. In fact, bad things start happening again in the sequel Eternal Punishment when Innocent Sin's protagonist begins to remember the events of the previous game. | |

In NonPack, Villain Protagonist Karen is fighting for her life against her rival Gangbanger Honey, who gets the upper hand when he takes Psycho Serum that turns into a monster. However, Karen temporarily turns into an even bigger monster and kills him, due to the implied intervention of the setting's Crystal Dragon Jesus. Afterwards, Karen loses consciousness and her teammate Doc gets her to a hospital. When Karen comes to, she has no memory of Hulking Out and killing Honey. Doc tells her most of what happened, although he leaves out the Body Horror part. | |

This is a source of trouble at the ending of Devil Survivor 2.

Happened to Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1 both times he returned from Ascending to a Higher Plane of Existence. But not completely; he was left with a certain degree of knowledge he had gained whilst ascended, and the potential to remember more of it (later becoming a major plot point). | |

Promethean: The Created: In the first version, when a Promethean reaches the New Dawn, they make a roll that basically determines whether they've been acting more human than Promethean (bonuses for fulfilling Vice or Virtue, penalties for using Transmutations). If they succeed, they've been leaning towards human and remember everything; if they fail, however, they've been leaning towards Promethean, and everything pertaining to the Pilgrimage is boiled away. Leaving them with a strong case of amnesia and likely no record of existence... but the universe no longer hates them. This is changed in Second Edition. Now, how much memory (if any) a Promethean retains through the New Dawn is keyed to how many Refinements they've mastered. A Promethean who's mastered only four Refinements (the minimum to reach the New Dawn) will have near-total amnesia, but if they've mastered more they can choose to either retain memories of their Promethean life, or get memories of the human "history" they encoded into the world during their New Dawn (either way, the new history will have appropriate supporting documentation, and others will "remember" the Promethean's human life even if he doesn't). Whichever they choose, they get more memories the more Refinements they have mastered, until at nine Refinements they have full memories of whichever life they chose. If the Promethean mastered all ten Refinements, they also get one opportunity to rethink their choice: The next time they succeed at a breaking point roll after the New Dawn, they momentarily remember both lives and can choose to regain their Promethean memories at the cost of their human memories, or vice-versa. |

This prevents him from accidentally causing a paradox by changing his behavior when the events leading to his arrest take place.

Implosion ends with Jake (who controls his Warmech-III Avalon remotely by using his subconscious mind) dying after performing a Taking You with Me attack in order to stop The Queen from using her psychokinesis to crash The AZA full of XADA aliens to Earth, leading to his brain operated with an AI system implant and ends up alive but completely loses his memories and his identity, thanks to his self-destructive attack. note Though, it's foreshadowed in the tips from the loading screen: When the player Warmech's HP hits zero, the pilot link will be severed, which leads to the brain death of the player who controls The Warmech. | |

Occasionally happens in the Persona games. A particularly bittersweet version happens in Persona 2: Innocent Sin when the heroes have to forget about each other in order to create a new timeline where the world isn't destroyed. In fact, bad things start happening again in the sequel Eternal Punishment when Innocent Sin's protagonist begins to remember the events of the previous game. The good ending of Persona 3 has the True Companions forgetting about their adventures for over a month before finally remembering their promise to meet up on the school's rooftop on graduation day, arriving just in time to see the main character slip into a coma and die. The endings of Persona Q and Persona Q2 also have the heroes' memories wiped for the sake of preserving the timeline. |

Set up ahead of time in one episode of Dollhouse. Echo and several other Actives are given their original functional memories (without any declarative ones) and allowed to do as they please so that they can fulfill the desires that are causing trouble in brainwiping them later. As soon as they finish whatever it is they set out to do, they black out, leaving them ready to be put back in the chair. | |

You pass one of these in Baldur's Gate II. In the Spellhold asylum, one of the inmates is a former bard of repute who, in his search for the answers of the universe, is mentioned to have gotten too close to something that didn't like him poking around. You have no way of knowing what really happened, but his mental faculties are now at the level of maybe a 5-year-old, he talks about little except his "many many pretties, piled high beyond the skies" and has an infinite and inexplicable supply of precious gems. | |

One interpretation of the end of the Book of Revelation is that all those who became overcomers through Jesus Christ, who are privileged to have been resurrected unto eternal life with God, will forget about their lives on the old Earth, including those who have been sentenced to the Lake of Fire, as God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and, as the Scripture says, "the old order of things has passed away."

Pokémon: At the end of Pokémon: The First Movie, Mewtwo erases all memories of him and the clones he created from the protagonists, to both protect himself from Team Rocket's boss and maintain some semblance of continuity. Unfortunately, the former doesn't take, as seen in Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns. At the end of that movie, he lets the protagonists keep their memories at their request He does get the one he missed the first time around, erasing all memories of the incident except for the fact that he lost.. Later movies don't even try the latter. |

Tekkaman Blade. After finally beating down the Radam forces (or at least his family-turned evil), D-Boy ends up getting amnesiac for real. In the sequel, though, he got better. He had actually been amnesiac for a while before that - since right about the moment he set off for the Final Battle. He won the entire fight with Omega because the one thing that was left after his memory, personality, and even skills like speech were broken down was Unstoppable Rage. | |

Futurama:: In "The Why of Fry": Nibbler wipes Fry's memories after he saves the universe from the brainspawn. This is repeated several more times to the point of parody; Bender's Game shows the characters unfazed by Nibbler's speech because he forgot to erase their memories last time. Also, everyone on Earth (except Fry) forgot about the Brainspawn after Fry foils their invasion. |

In the fourth book of the Sword of Truth series, Temple of the Winds, Richard is only allowed to leave the temple by losing all the knowledge he gained from entering (which is to say, quite literally, everything there is to know about being a War Wizard; it's perhaps the only part of the series where he is in full control of his abilities). Perhaps an odd example, as he does remember the events that happened. | |

In Metal Gear Solid Mobile, Philanthropy's first mission is revealed to be a VR simulation, with a kidnapped Snake locked into the sim and taking orders from an artificial Otacon, while the real Otacon was on the sidelines, attempting to hack Snake's brain out. Eventually, he was forced to complete the simulation to get out, but, as he failed to provide the data his captors needed, his mind was wiped of the event and he was returned to Otacon. Gets especially glaring when you realise Otacon would still remember. Gets even more glaring when you realise it wouldn't even cause a real continuity problem if Snake remembered the events and would even help justify his seemingly irrational distaste for VR in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. | |

Lampshaded in the beginning of Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension when Major Monogram tells Perry ("No need to remind you but I'll do it anyway...") that if his cover is blown, then either he would have to be relocated to somewhere else or have their memories of that day be erased. At the end of the movie, due to being a series with failure being the only option, this happens to everyone in the cast besides OWCA members and the Second Dimension counterparts. | |

Another features this as a natural side effect of successfully breaking class 3's curse. The cause of the curse is the presence of a student who is, in fact, Dead All Along. The protagonists learn that if you find and kill that student, the curse goes away for that year. However, because memories are implanted to hide the "Extra", those false memories go away instantly. How fast depends on how aware you were of what had happened. As the first one to do it and our protagonists are able to leave behind a message for future students of class 3 to try and make them aware. | |

When asked about it, Thoros admitted that he doesn't remember anything about the siege because he was drunk - he let the Liquid Courage do its work, and only heard about what he did after the siege was over and he was sober enough. | |

In The Hounds of the Morrigan, the Dagda erases the memories of the two Kid Heroes—presumably because they saw an absolutely horrifying Gorn-tastic battle. However, he favors them always afterwards, and gives them back gifts from their journey—such as the Hidden Valley's daisy-patterned china, their ship kite, and, best of all, their friend Cooroo the fox. | |

After saving the world in SoulBlazer, the Blazer (who was created by God to save the world) has returned to heaven as his work is done. A year later he misses life as a human and the girl he had met early along the way. So God turns him back into a human at his request, but with the cost of losing his memories. He pops back into existence next to the girl in a field, who remembers him and starts their relationship anew. | |

Both the classic and the new series of Doctor Who have used this trope. At the end of "The War Games", after calling down the Deus ex Machina — the Time Lords — companions Jamie and Zoe have their memories of all their adventures (bar the first) with the Doctor wiped and are sent back home. In "The Invasion of Time", an aftereffect of the superweapon the Doctor had just built erased his memory of said weapon, as well as The Plan he'd just executed (and screwed up). In "Journey's End", Donna Noble gains the Doctor's memories and brain power and uses it to defeat the Daleks. Afterwards, the Doctor reveals that the mind of a Time Lord is too much for a human brain to handle and, to save Donna's life, he wipes her memory of everything she experienced since meeting him. He warns her family that if she ever finds out about her adventures her mind will destroy itself. "The Day of the Doctor" has this for the past versions of himself the Eleventh Doctor interacted with. Due to their meeting throwing their Timeline out of sync, the past Doctors will not clearly remember what happened once they came together. Until the Doctor reaches that point via The Slow Path, he'll never know that he was able to save Gallifrey instead of being forced to destroy it. |

Eventually, he'd remember his almost-victories somehow, murder his boss and steal his time machine, and do everything again. Multiple times. And inevitably, it'd end with a conversation something like this: | |

The last book of The Dark Tower series ends with Roland finally reaching the Tower after years of questing, only for it to show him a sort of presentation outlining his many failings as a person, then sending his soul back in time to the start of the first book. He has just enough time to be horrified before his memory is reset, and is offered only the possibility that events might unfold differently next time around. King realized that it was a bad ending not all readers would be satisfied by the ending, so he included a message right before Roland enters the Tower, telling them it was OK to stop here if they wanted to preserve the mystery. | |

In The Chronicles of Narnia, the four Pevensie children apparently entirely forget their lives outside of Narnia in the years that they rule (where do they think their parents are, then?). Then they're yanked back to our world. Susan rationalizes that it was all a fantasy after her last trip since she is told by Aslan that she'd never return to Narnia, so the alternative was too painful for her. | |

The bad ending of Shadow Hearts: Covenant has Yuri lose his memories and identity as a result of a curse literally wiping his soul clean.

The children in IT (except for Mike Hanlon, who was the only one to remain in Derry), begin to forget almost as soon as they beat IT and most of the as-adults portion of the novel is spent with them trying to remember. Once they beat IT the second time, their memories fade again (including Mike's) within weeks. They take this as proof that this time, it really is dead. | |

Invoked in Coffin Princess Chaika. Having run out of fuel for her magic, Chaika chooses to use her own memories as fuel for the spell that destroys Arthur Gaz for good, leaving her with severe amnesia. The Distant Finale shows her still recovering, with Tohru's help. | |

Humanity as a whole gets this in the finale of Dragon Ball Z. The human race spent the arc being terrorized, then killed by Majin Buu. In the final battle, the whole of Earth contributes its power to Goku's Spirit Bomb to destroy Buu once and for all. When the dust clears, all that remains is Fat Buu, a part of Buu that had befriended Mr. Satan and turned good. Because of this, protagonists use their next chance to wish on the Dragonballs to make humanity forget about Buu, so that Fat Buu can live peacefully on Earth. | |

The good ending to Manhunt 2 shows Daniel waking up on a roadside not even remembering his own name. Fortunately, he has an envelope on him that gives him a new identity and tells him the address where he lives. After he's had a malfunctioning microchip in his brain containing the personality of a remorseless serial killer which led to him killing his best friend and his entire family, forgetting everything and being given a fresh start is pretty much the best ending you could hope for. | |

In Will Eliot's The Pilo Family Circus, ex-clown protagonist Jamie uses some of his wishing powder to erase his memories of the circus. It doesn't work too well, as the Eldritch Abominations imprisoned below the circus - along with Jamie's boss, Gonko- keep trying to remind him of his experiences. And since he still has half a bag of wishing powder left, it's implied that he will one day use it to restore his lost memories, with catastrophic results. | |

In The Eternity Code, Artemis Fowl comes up with a scheme that will let him reclaim the stolen C Cube, but he requires fairy technology and the only thing he can offer in exchange is his own memories of them (which they long wanted to erase to maintain the Masquerade). Of course, being the Magnificent Bastard he is, Artemis finds a workaround... The final Artemis Fowl book ends with Artemis performing a Heroic Sacrifice to stop Opal Koboi, and being resurrected in a cloned body with no memory of who he is. Holly offers to fill him in, and the final paragraph is her reciting the first paragraph of the first book. |

All over the place in Kingdom Hearts. At the beginning of Chain of Memories, Sora loses all recollection of the events of the first game. At the end, he gets them back, but only if he gives up his memory of this game in return. Done twice in 358/2 Days, where beating the second-to-last boss costs Roxas all his memories of his best friend in the world. Beating the final boss costs him every other memory. Also at the end of Birth by Sleep, where Terra's ultimate triumph ends with him possessed by the villain and both of them mind-wiped. And in the secret movie "Blank Points", where it's revealed that Ansem the Wise survived going down with his ship at the end of Kingdom Hearts II, but the end results gave him near-total amnesia. And once more in Coded, where Data Sora finally succeeds in rebooting the journal's data... but since he's technically part of that data, he's rebooted, too. When we see him one last time, he doesn't remember a single thing anymore. |

In the Lilo & Stitch fanfic Starlight, Dulmer and Lucsly are worried that Lilo, Stitch and Nani keeping their memories of their trip to the future will corrupt the timeline, considering the lasting effects they had on each's personality, so they wipe the events from their minds. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: the original final episode "Beast but not Least" has Dexter hitting Mom and Dad with a gun that erases their memories as they learned of his laboratory in order to help save the day. Monkey, then, hits Dexter with it when his mask falls off. This leads to Mandark declaring himself the winner and Dee Dee just letting it happen. | |

The series finale of Gravity Falls has the heroes defeat Bill Cipher by tricking him into entering the mind of Stanley Pines. Once the demon was trapped inside, Stanley's brother Ford used a device to erase all of Stan's memories, and Bill along with them. | |

The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Clues" deals with the crew realizing that they've lost an entire day, though they didn't really win or lose the "battle" fought during that day — they just reached a stalemate for which one of the requirements was a mind wipe. The first attempt failed because Data was immune; the second time, the crew agreed to it (and Data agreed to help cover it up), but they missed some details. The third time, they fixed those details and it finally worked. | |
