** The DL-6 incident, happening 15 years before [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney the first game]]. Defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth was shot dead in an elevator whose power had run out due to an earthquake in the courthouse. This scarred Miles Edgeworth, his son, and was the moment where he stopped wanting to be a lawyer and instead took the path of a prosecutor under Mandred von Karma's custody. [[spoiler:The most tragic thing is that von Karma was the killer.]] Misty Fey's subsequent disgrace and disappearance following the true killer failing to be convicted ruined the Fey clan's reputation and significantly affects Mia and Maya's backstories as well.

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': The chaotic Mass Awakening of ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' essentially led to the entire plot of the fic, with San's severed head and a revived, mutating Dr. Vivienne Graham inside it becoming reborn as TwoBeingsOneBody (the fic's protagonists), [[spoiler:and with San's old head after their births enabling Alan Jonah's group to create [[TheVirus the Many]] and enabling Ghidorah itself to regenerate as the fic's true world-threatening BigBad. And even at the fic's end, Jonah's meddling with Ghidorah's DNA and Ghidorah's manipulation of him has left far-reaching ramifications for the expanded [=AbraxasVerse=], in the form of [[HalfHumanHybrid the Zmeyevich]] scattered around the world]].

* The heist in ''Film/ReservoirDogs''.
* The oft-alluded-to discovery of warp flight and how it started the brand-new era of space travel in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' verse, actually becomes the setting of the not-quite prequel ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''. That movie also uses the first attempted Borg invasion as a second kind of backstory.
** ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries The Original Series]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed Space Seed]]" was the WhenItAllBegan for ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Wrath of Khan]]''.

* The heist in ''Film/ReservoirDogs''.
* The oft-alluded-to discovery
In the ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'' franchise, the source of warp flight the HatePlague ZombieApocalypse which has wiped out society and how it started the brand-new era of space travel population on mainland Great Britain is depicted in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' verse, actually becomes the setting {{distant prologue}} of the not-quite prequel ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''. That movie also uses the first attempted Borg invasion as a second kind of backstory.
** ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries
movie (and in the movies' tie-in graphic novel ''28 Days Later: The Original Series]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed Space Seed]]" Aftermath'') -- an AnimalWrongsGroup broke into a Cambridge laboratory that was inhumanely experimenting on chimps and they released one, unaware of the WhenItAllBegan for ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Wrath of Khan]]''.extremely virulent and fast-spreading virus that it was carrying.


Added DiffLines:

* The Franchise/MonsterVerse franchise which spawned from ''Film/Godzilla2014'' has a couple major points:
** Although the details have been massively overhauled via CanonDiscontinuity in the ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'' series; the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Japan led to the founding of the franchise-central, monster-hunting, quasi-governmental agency Monarch.
** The events of the original 2014 movie wherein Godzilla's and {{Kaiju}}'s existence was [[TheUnmasquedWorld exposed to the world]] amid the destructions of Honolulu (called "G-Day Minus Two" through to "G-Day") have lasting ramifications across every [=MonsterVerse=] instalment that chronologically takes place afterwards, directly or indirectly catalyzing the ''entire'' conflicts of ''[[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' and ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'', and to a lesser extent the conflict of the 2015 storyline in ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters''.

* Although it's not really apparent until the end of the series, pretty much ''everything'' that happens in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' universe has its roots in [[spoiler:August 1964, the Virtuous Mission which sparked Operation Snake Eater and led to the creation of the Patriots]], as shown in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', chronologically the first game. The best example? The Boss's last wish: [[spoiler: a unified world]]. Big Boss's and Zero's differing interpretations of that wish and how to fulfill it lead to almost everything that happens in the rest of the series, including the creation of Outer Heaven and the creation of [[spoiler: [[NebulousEvilOrganization the Patriots]]]], which leads directly to the events of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' and ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 4]]''.

** To note is that Xehanort's Keyblade has existed since the Age of Fairy Tales. It was first carried by the Master's sixth apprentice, Luxu, who passed it down from master to apprentice until Xehanort got it. Embedded in that blade is the Master's Gazing Eye, which allowed him to see the future to write the aforementioned Books of Prophecy. On the last page is 'And on that land will the darkness triumph, and light expire,' referring to the events of ''III''. Speaking of ''III'', [[spoiler:it turns out Luxu has been BodyHopping to see that Keyblade passed down through the generations. And at the end of this game, Luxu ends up reclaiming the ancient blade]].
