* Elie gets this {{spoiler|twice}} in ''[[Rave Master]]''. She doesn't know her name or how to control her magic, but she can remember how to read a language no longer used in the modern world.

* In ''[[Historys Strongest Disciple Kenichi]]'', Elder Furinji has a technique called, 'Shockwave of Forgetfulness', a soft punch that can cause the victim to lose his memory. He did it once on a crimelord in Thailand to make him forget he was evil, and again on Kenichi- to make ''him'' forget about the really expensive drawing Elder bought, which he was going to tell Miu about.

* ''[[Fairy Tail]]''. {{spoiler|Gerard}}, in just about the funniest, most WTF example ever.
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'': Jellal suffers this after he's defeated. He regains his memory in the same arc, however.
* Some of the [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]] ("M.E.") in ''[[Darker than Black]]'' can do this. It's generally used to make people forget about contact with Contractors or to [[Unperson]] them.

* Pai suffers from a supernatural case in [[Three By Three Eyes|3x3 Eyes]]. Pai and her grandparents believe that she's an [[Ordinary High School Student]] who lost all of her memories in a bus accident, but in actuality she's a [[Older Than They Look|300-year-old]] immortal Sanjiyan Unkara who had her memories sealed by [[The Dragon]] so she couldn't interfere with their plans. They even gave her and an old couple false memories and photos to give her a 'backstory' and a belief that monsters don't really exist.

* ''[[Flashback (video game)|Flashback]]'' starts with the protagonist escaping from a base being chased by soldiers. He ends up crash-landing on Titan. He has no memories before that. He also has a holo-cube containing a message of him telling himself to find a friend of his in an underground city. After finding the friend, he plugs you into a machine that restores your memories (at least, up to the moment when they were recorded). They reveal that your character has discovered [[Aliens Among Us]] and has developed a device that can detect them. As a precaution, he had his memories recorded and gave the recording to a friend. The aliens kidnapped him, wiped his memory, and planned to kill him. The protagonist has managed to escape, starting the events of the game.

* Rodi from the game ''[[Shining the Holy Ark]]'' suffers this after a cave-in knocks him on the head. It's used to explain away the fact he's forgotten all his skills he displayed in the fight where the player must attack him. Eventually his memories and skills come back as you play through the game.

* ''[[Lust Grimm]]'':
** Men drawn into the setting are often missing portions of their memory. Those who {{spoiler|are raped by a succubus transform into a fantasy creature and forget that they were ever human}}.
** This is also a service provided by a particular NPC. If you lose to an enemy, your character will remember being raped and suffer a debuff in future fights against them. The NPC erases your memory of enemies you've lost to (and, apparently, their memory of you as well), removing this debuff.
