In the real world, amnesia is rare, and it can last anywhere from days to a lifetime.

** Shinnosuke, a boy from the forest of Ryugenzawa, is forgetful to a crippling degree. Among the things he's forgotten: his own grandpa, the location of the traps he has set for the [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|animals of the forest]], people he's met only minutes ago and the conversations he's had with them, and having saved a young Akane's life ten years ago. When he meets her again (believing it's the first time) he endears himself to her by writing her name all over the house so he won't forget again. Unfortunately, he later forgets having {{spoiler|confessed his love to her}} also, but not {{spoiler|the love itself}}.

* ''[[Rumbling Hearts]]'': {{spoiler|Haruka}} suffers from anterograde amnesia after {{spoiler|being hit by a car.}} This is on top of {{spoiler|the three years she missed while comatose.}} This could be considered a subversion, as it takes most of the length of the series for her to recover.

** Subverted when it comes to Index, whose memories are regularly wiped by a magic spell designed for the purpose. Played straight when {{spoiler|Touma has his memories wiped by being hit in the head by a spell meant to kill him (he negated it before it could do lethal damage)}}.

** Another example, featuring both retrograde and anterograde amnesia, is revealed to have happened to {{spoiler|Touma before the start of the series. He was badly injured, and Misaki (a telepath) used her ability as a substitute for anesthetic. This accidentally damaged his brain in such a way that he lost all his memories of Misaki, and is also unable to form new memories about her.}}
