Line 11:
** Higurashi is full of this, another example is the Eye opening Arc (Meakashi-hen) that in the Cotton Drifting arc (Watanagashi-hen) {{spoiler|the culprit wasn't Mion who had gone insane. Instead it was Shion, her twin sister. The cause of the madness was the same (Keiichi giving the doll to Rena) but the reason was totally different. The end is also one of these as Keiichi, as sees one of them suddenly going up at his bed even if both of the twins are supposed to be dead. It is later revealed that he hallucinated all of this and died by a heart attack.}}
** This can also be seen in the Massacre Arc (Minagoroshi-hen). In the Curse killing arc (Tatarigoroshi-hen), {{spoiler|none of the murders were by Keiichi's wishes. Instead they were just coincidences with the real murderer's acts, Also Satoko's uncle died when Keiichi killed him. Satoko had just gone crazy and thought the uncle was still alive}}. Looking back, it seems like the way Higurashi is built with Questions and Answer arcs allowed a lot of this, but that's probably one of the things that makes it so great.
* In episode 9 of ''[[Baccano!]]'', a flashback to the [[Sacrificial Lamb]]'s murder reveals that {{spoiler|he wasn't killed at all. Instead, he kicked the gun out of his assailant's hand and shot him. The corpse left behind was actually that of another [[The Mole|mole]] that the [[Sacrificial Lamb]] tortured and killed shortly afterwards. Also, said not-so-[[Sacrificial Lamb]] is actually an assassin -- the same one [[Chekhov's Gunman|Luck called for in the first episode]] -- ''and'' the [[Urban Legend|Rail Tracer]] that's been picking off various mooks since episode 3}}.

** During the same sequence, one of the characters has a flashback inside the flashback ... which the Doctor tells him to stop doing.
** Earlier in "The Runaway Bride" Donna says it was Lance who asked to marry her, and that he was insistent. That's not exactly what happened...
* Used extensively in ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where characters will say what they thought happened and then the deadpan narrator will explain over a clip what ACTUALLY happened.
{{quote|'''Lucille''': We had a fight. Who knows what it was about?
'''Narrator''': I do. }}

''(the audience gasps)''
'''Krusty:''' Back then, you couldn't say "pants" on TV. I was banned for ten years. }}
* In [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]] in the episode, Sidekicks Assemble, Green Arrow mentioned about how well he treated Speedy. Then, in a flashback, it revealed him ordering kid Speedy to get his bow from a bunch of alligators.
* ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' has a flashback to Carl's [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]], with something of a sudden twist at the end...
