Unperson: Difference between revisions

* In the end of the Clow Card arc of ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', Sakura is threatened with something like this should she fail: no one will actually be gone {{spoiler|except Yukito in the anime, who disappears with Kero, Yue, and the Cards}}, but everyone will forget that their most beloved person ever meant anything to them.

* This is the whole plot/premise of ''[[Madlax]]''.

* Johan from ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' is notable since the one who is removing the evidence of his existence is himself. {{spoiler|He also did the same to General Wolf. All because the poor sap at one point asked him "how he felt".}}

* In ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', a large amount of people have had their power of existence consumed and turned into torches. When a torch's flame dies out, they disappear completely, and no-one ever remembers they existed.

** Subverted when {{spoiler|it's revealed in the final episode that Tom Veil never existed in the first place; it was simply a false memory given to the protagonist and presumably the other unpersons he'd encountered in the series.}}

* In ''[[Prison Break]]'', all evidence of Paul Kellerman's involvement with the president was erased after he fell from the Company's favor.

* Lex Luthor threatens to do this to a corrupt journalist in an episode of ''[[Smallville]]''.

* In ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "The Card," a mercilessly efficient credit card company will repossess parts of a person's life if they overdraft, including the protagonist's children. It's left unclear as to how they do this: at the beginning of the episode it appears that they merely take people, reprogram them to believe that they are someone else, and change all records, but, as it goes on, it appears that it may be something much more [[Ret-Gone|sinister]].`
