Subtrope of [[Childhood Friends]]. Compare [[Beleaguered Childhood Friend]]. Contrast [[Forgotten First Meeting]].

Line 15:
* Sara's long-lost brother Ralph in ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'' is revealed near the end of the first episode, after the Union has been praising him and Sara herself chasing after him for years, to be the most fearsome villain the series had to offer.
* The demonic Duel Monsters card [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Yubel]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' was revealed to have been owned by Juudai back in the day. He didn't forget her on purpose, though, having his memory suppressed due to the nightmares he suffered when she was in pain up in space.
* In ''[[Code Geass]]'s'' [[Backstory]], they were best friends, but eight years later, [[Knight Templar|Suzaku Kururugi]] and [[Well
* Very similar situation in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'', which has Athrun Zala and Kira Yamato fighting each other despite having been the best of friends earlier in life (something which causes both massive amounts of [[Angst]]).
* Koujirou Saeki from ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'', in regards to the Fuji brothers.
Line 21:
* It doesn't fit them all that well, but both {{spoiler|Athena and Izumi}} of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)/Characters|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' had been acquainted with Hayate in the past.
* Mendou in ''[[White Album]]'' has aspects of this, only she is a benevolent, and not a hostile figure (as far as these things can be counted)
* ''[[Love Hina]]'' plays with this trope. Keitaro knows about his childhood friend whom he promised to get into Tokyo University with...he just [[Laser
* In ''[[Shoujo Kakumei Utena]]'', we find out pretty early on in the series that Utena met Touga and Saionji when she was young. Shortly after that, she met Dios. Shortly after ''that''... {{spoiler|she met Anthy}}.
** Justified in that she only saw the boys once before the series and probably wasn't even paying attention, in the case of Anthy she was given [[Laser
* In ''[[Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex]]'' {{spoiler|Hideo Kuze}} is this to the Major.
* A variation in ''[[Pokémon Special]]''. {{spoiler|Ruby and Sapphire}} both remember having a childhood friend, but they don't remember what the other ''looks'' like. As such, they don't recognize each other when they reunite five years later and get off the wrong foot. Justified by the fact that they both had their personalities completely flipped since they were kids.
Line 33:
* In the season 2 episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' 'Lie To Me', Billy Fordham--"Ford"--an old friend of Buffy's from LA, shows up in Sunnydale. He has figured out she's a Slayer... and that's just for starters.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' has Mels, who grew up with Amy and Rory as their best friend, but whom the Doctor (and audience) have never met before. After she explains she skipped appearing at their wedding, she pulls a gun on the Doctor in order to "[[Title Drop|Let's Kill Hitler!]]" but gets fatally shot during the escapade. [[Running Gag|This is where it gets complicated]]... {{spoiler|as Mels begins to regenerate}}.
** {{spoiler|We then get [[The Reveal]] that Mels is actually Amy and Rory's daughter, Melody ([[Timey
Line 53:
* ''[[Persona 2]]: Innocent Sin'' {{spoiler|While everyone else in the "Masked Circle" group suffers from [[Forgotten First Meeting]], the last member, Jun, still does remember that they nearly killed [[Team Mom]] Maya and built up a grudge...and became the enemy for the first 3/4ths of the game.}}
* Used in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' when it's revealed that all of the SEED members in the main party had grown up together in the same orphanage, but most of them had forgotten. A [[Justified Trope]], as amnesia is an established side effect of letting Guardian Forces take up space in your brain.
* Shiki doesn't remember {{spoiler|SHIKI}}, the [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Tsukihime]]'', due to some [[Laser
* ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'' state that {{spoiler|Lobo}}, one of the villains was this to {{spoiler|Christophe}}, with this being a big part of the former's [[Start of Darkness]]. This plays a part in {{spoiler|The Demon Path, where if Revya states that she trusts him, he bursts into maniacal laughter and states that only fools trust.}}
* ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' ''Continuum Shift'' reveals that {{spoiler|Taokaka and Ragna}} met each other as little kids. {{spoiler|Ragna}} probably forgot due to being preoccupied with the whole {{spoiler|"destroying every last trace of the NOL" thing}} and {{spoiler|Taokaka has trouble remembering things she learned three seconds ago, let alone a meeting from early childhood}}.
