== Anime and Manga ==
* Killy of ''[[Blame]]!'' is a cyborg who has existed probably as long as the strange machine world of the manga. He is so old that he has forgotten even that he is a cyborg. At least, it seems so. It's hard to tell.
** Probably exacerbated by the number of times he gets [[Boom! Headshot!|shot in the face]].
* The Abh touch upon this in ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' and its sequels. They live for between 200 and 250 years and their genetic engineering technology is such that they can live ''much'' longer. It's not enough to stop [[The Fog of Ages]] setting in though, so their bodies are designed to shut down while their mental faculties are more or less intact.
* An [[Immortality|immortal]] from ''[[Ghost Sweeper Mikami (Anime)|Ghost Sweeper Mikami]]'' who has forgotten [[Immortality Inducer|the formula that made him immortal]].
Line 85:
* ''[[The X Files]]'' ("Tithonus"). A man who couldn't die because he'd "missed his chance" tells Scully he went to the records office once to look up some facts on his late wife, only he couldn't remember her name.
* Death from ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]'' can't remember if he is as old, ''or older than'', [[God]]. God, apparently, doesn't know either.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''. [[Word of God]] has it that the Doctor can't remember how old he is anymore, instead going with the generic 900 years whenever the issue comes up.
** In the episode ''World War III'' it's a plot point that his memory is so crowded and cluttered he needs help to remember the species the Slitheen come from, and their [[Weaksauce Weakness]].
*** Heck, he does that a lot of times. It can't help that he also remembers multiple timelines.
