* ''[[Monster Hunter International]]: Nemesis'' opens with Agent Franks being interrogated by someone who, quite unusually, is ''not'' afraid of him.

Being the inspiration for [[Frankenstein's Monster]], Frank's death is [[Back from the Dead|not entirely permanent]]}}. Unusually {{spoiler|Franks dies ''again'' after being revived. This is done by [[Chunky Salsa Rule]], after accomplishing his goals and only a few pages left before the end of the book, but it's ''also'' not permanent. Before coming back to life ''again'' Franks gets warned his permanent death is coming soon.}}. |

* Used in ''[[Persona 5]]'' as a [[In Medias Res]] device throughout the game since the start, since the whole thing serves as a [[How We Got Here]].
