* In Webcomic/GiftsOfWanderingIce the memories in Elie's head can be triggered by the sight of ice gifts from the old world, and sometimes by discussions of ancient events. The sight of [[spoiler: a child's body retrieved from an escape pod in the ice]] pulls her into a vivid flashback [[spoiler: really Ash's memory]] of a tsunami that destroyed much of the old world.

* In ''{{Metro 2033}}'', Artyom has incidents of hearing voices and seeing things that are not actually there. At some point while walking through the ruins of the surface, he comes across an old and rusty playground where he experiences a freaky flashback echo. After a couple of seconds, the vision vanishes as quickly as it came and Artyom notices a Dark One who was stalking him for a while who was likely behind all that crazy stuff.

* Type 2 is how Link gradually recovers his memories of the events prior to his suspended animation in ''VideoGame/ThelegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. Most of them are triggered by visiting a location that Zelda had captured in a picture on the [[{{Magitek}} Sheikah Slate]], which has Link recall events that happened in those places from while he was acting as Zelda's bodyguard in her journey across the land of Hyrule (to recruit the Champions, and pray at the sacred springs to try and unlock her divine power). Others (largely relating to the Champions themselves) were not chronicled on the Sheikah Slate, so Link remembers them after focusing on something that was in some way related specifically to them.

* The ''Theatre/{{Mrs Hawking}}'' play series: In part IV: ''Gilded Cages'', a combination of Type 3 and Type 4.
** Nathaniel's resemblance to his uncle the Colonel means the former often makes Mrs. Hawking think of the latter, who is dead in the present but features in the flashback.
** The failure of Mrs. Hawking's efforts in the past as detailed by the flashback is significant to how the case she's working on in the present time of part IV turns out.

* ''Fanfic/WaitingIsWorthIt'': Type 4. During Bakugo and Izuku's fight in the Tournament Arc, Bakugo accidentally hits Izuku in the head too hard. This leads to Izuku losing partial consciousness and briefly cancels out the gravity in the entire stadium. This reminds Bakugo of the first time he saw this - [[MyGreatestFailure when they were kids at the moment when Izuku's quirk first manifests and when he became disabled]] - and has a minor freakout, trying to comfort Izuku and get him to regain control. He then spends the awards ceremony chained to a post, not because he had an easy victory like in the source material, but because he feels like he needs to be there for Izuku.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' combines this one with IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight. Yugi tries to get through to a possessed Jounouchi by giving him Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, and Marik immediately commands him to throw it into the sea to keep it away from Yugi. Jounouchi promptly flashes back to the beginning of his friendship with Yugi, when Yugi defended him from a bully even after Jounouchi stole a piece of the Puzzle and dropped it in a pool. Even the possession can't get Jounouchi to do that again.

* MahouSenseiNegima had Rakan going into a (one panel) flashback to show how closely [[GenerationXerox Negi's group of friends paralleled his father's group]].
* Type 3 is repeatedly used in the Search for Tsunade arc of ''{{Naruto}}'', comparing the titular character to Tsunade's old flame and younger brother, both of whom Naruto echoed by saying that becoming Hokage was his dream. For bonus points the arc showed the old flame echoing the brother and the brother bore a great physical resemblance to Naruto to amplify the comparison.

* In ''Film/WeAreWhatWeAre'', Iris reads from the family diary (see also: PosthumousCharacter). Like Iris, the diary's author is the oldest daughter of the Parker family's pioneer ancestors. The girl's mother dies early on (similar to Mrs. Parker), and the father slowly loses his mind (similar to Mr. Parker gradually succumbing to Kuru). The father ultimately forces the eldest daughter to butcher her mother's body for food (similar to Mr. Parker forcing Iris to carry on the "family tradition" of cannibalism). The flashbacks are interspersed with present-day events: the pioneer family eating their "lost" uncle cuts to bacon frying in a present-day diner, and both fathers stumble around unsettlingly.

For a friendly game of hide-and-seek, Nine seems to be running away rather desperately, as if his life were in danger.

[[NotSoStoic Homura's reaction is the first time she ever shows emotion in the series]]. In Episode 10 we learn that Homura was tied up once before, [[spoiler:in an AlternateTimeline by Mami, who was about to pull off a [[MurderSuicide triple murder suicide]] after learning the AwfulTruth]].
