* ''Anime/FlameOfTheAlpenRose'': Jeudi knows Leonhardt Aschenbach as a famed Austrian pianist called "the secondcoming of Mozart". [[spoiler: Before she suffered an accident that caused her to become an amnesiac, Leonhardt was her best friend and they often played together, with Leo even gaining a little crush on her. Leonhardt is also oblivious to her true identity at first, but when he sees her donning the veil, he suddenly remembers that Jeudi is his long-lost childhood friend - and her actual name is "Alicia"]].

** A few stories over the decades depict [[Characters/SupermanTheCharacter Clark Kent]] and [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] meeting as young teens, sometimes with Clark becoming ComicBook/{{Superboy}}.
** A few stories also have young Clark meet young [[Characters/BatmanTheCharacter Bruce Wayne.]]
** Silver Age Superman first met ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} when his cousin's rocket landed on Earth in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton1959''... or so he thought. Since both characters had the ability to time-travel and were members of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', they had already met back when he was a teenager ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, but his first memory of her was wiped out to protect the future.
** A half-example appears in one ''[[ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]]'' comic, [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]], arriving in Metropolis for the first time, [[TestSubjectForHire takes a job as a test subject for a scientist]] which ends up sending him to Krypton before the explosion. He spends the issue watching over baby Kal-El to give Jor-El and Lara time to complete the rocket. The time stream interferes with Jimmy's memory, meaning he has no idea this happened, but Superman remembers and befriends Jimmy [[IOweYouMyLife because the teen saved his life]].
** In ''Superboy'' #80, [[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com.es/2009/11/back-issue-box-superboy-80.html Supergirl goes back in time to meet her teenager cousin and play with him]]. Both kids hit it off immediately, but Superboy wipes his memory out after Kara leaves so he does not reveal Supergirl's existence prematurely.
** ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #358 [[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/review-action-comics-358-supergirl.html had Superboy in flashback having ended up in Argo City]] after being accidentally knocked unconscious and rendered amnesiac by a robotic resource scavenger for the city, he's later taken by an alien being intending to consume him and it erases everyone's memories of his time there to spare them the suffering. Superman only realizes something happened when she shows him a crystal she had from childhood but no idea where it came from because it was the crystal he'd carved just prior to being knocked out after planning to give it to his adoptive mother and had no idea what happened to it.

* ''Anime/PanzerWorldGalient'': When Jordy and Asbeth arrive at White Valley, Jordy meets and befriends White Valley's leader's girl, Chururu. Shortly after Asbeth and Chururu's father explain to both they had already met when they were two-years-old, during an ealier visit of Jordy's "grandfather". Naturally, since Jordy and Chururu were toddlers back then, they had completely forgotten that.

** Likewise, Owen and Beru Lars didn't seem to remember [=C-3PO=] either, although he had worked for their family for years in the time between ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. Owen may not have been telling Luke the truth about that, however, much like he was lying to Luke about the fate of his father in order to keep him sheltered. (The hologram of Leia probably made him decide against mentioning that he knew where the droids had come from.) Of course, it's just as likely that they simply didn't recognize [=C-3PO=]; it ''had'' been over 20 years and the protocol droid didn't have his iconic gold finish when he left their service. Particularly when Threepio's droid model appears to be a common one, considering that exact duplicates of him appear both in ''Film/ANewHope''.and ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': A non-romantic variation. Lanolin the Sheep has met Sonic many times before the events of the ''[[Recap/SonicTheHedgehogIDWUrbanWarfareArc Urban Warfare]]'' story arc, but Sonic doesn't remember their previous encounters (their first actual meeting being in the second issue of the comic book series). Lanolin replies that the blue blur was quite busy at each instance, with the mission to invade Eggperial City being their first time working together.

* ''Manga/FlameOfTheAlpenRose'': Jeudi knows Leonhardt Aschenbach as a famed Austrian pianist called "the secondcoming of Mozart". [[spoiler: Before she suffered an accident that caused her to become an amnesiac, Leonhardt was her best friend and they often played together, with Leo even gaining a little crush on her. Leonhardt is also oblivious to her true identity at first, but when he sees her donning the veil, he suddenly remembers that Jeudi is his long-lost childhood friend - and her actual name is "Alicia"]].
