Line 12:
Compare and contrast with [[More Than Mind Control]], where the character more or less knows that he is/was being manipulated, but goes along anyway. See [[Cartesian Karma]] for when the residue may or may not have resided, but the consequences of their brain-washed actions are still quite valid.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[
** Or perhaps she just got a better understanding of [[Family Relationship Switcheroo|Yomiko Readman]] and books in general.
* All of the girls Keima "conquers" in ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'' show signs of this. They just can't explain why they blush whenever the geeky [[Otaku]] walks by.
Line 24:
* This happens to [[Star Wars|Mara Jade]] when Palpatine dies.
* This was the reason Bronze Tiger always declined to lead the ''[[Suicide Squad]]:'' he was afraid the brainwashing he received at the hands of the League of Assassins could kick in any time.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In [[The Return (fanfic)|''The Return'']], a ''[[Ranma ½]]''/''[[Sailor Moon]]'' crossover fic, {{spoiler|Nabiki and Akane}} still have a significant amount of mental contamination after being enslaved and [[Mind Rape]]d by Alexia and it takes a lot of work to salvage ''any'' of their original selves.

Barclay: "I don't." }}
* Crichton from ''[[Farscape]]'' has Scorpius residue for ages after getting his chip removed (overlaps with [[Imaginary Enemy]]).
* Happens in the original ''[[V (TV series)|V]]'' miniseries. Diana has attempted to brainwash Julie Parish into being her slave. She fights off the brainwashing, mostly successfully, but occasionally catches herself using the wrong hand. In ''V: The Final Battle'', Diana telepathically commands Julie and she has flashbacks to the brainwashing. Julie doesn't quite give in, but the internal struggle gives Diana a chance to escape.
* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' season two [[Halloween Episode]], Xander was [[Becoming the Costume|turned into the soldier that he was dressed as]] for Halloween, complete with military training. Afterwards, Xander still retains some of that knowledge, which comes in handy in later episodes (such as when he sneaks into a military base to steal a rocket launcher).
** Also, after Dracula {{spoiler|Renfield-ised Xander}} in season five, {{spoiler|Xander}} still referred to Dracula as "Master" several episodes later {{spoiler|and in the Season 8 comics.}}

== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] II'', when Sora bids farewell to Hayner, Pence and Olette, he sheds a single tear but doesn't know why. Little does he know that {{spoiler|he has Roxas' memories within him, and he remembers them as his friends in the virtual world.}}
* ''[[
* In ''[[The King of Fighters]]'', {{spoiler|Ash sacrifices his existence to prevent the entire Ash Saga from happening.}} None of the other characters remember him, except for Elizabeth, due to having his [[Tragic Keepsake]].
* Even after Cloud, who was implanted with Zack's memories, regains his real memories in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', he keeps Zack's fighting style and mannerisms. Although he reverts to his real personality and becomes more comfortable with showing his weaknesses, he occasionally still puts on Zack's cocky act when trying to show off in front of the others.
