Working Title: Out of Time, Out of Mind: From YKTTW
Citizen: I don't think it counts for this trope if the characters get memory-wiped, even with a little deja vu. In that light, I'm revising the Suzumiya Haruhi example.
Broken Chaos: Is it just me, or does this article consistently mis-use subversion (in places where aversion would be more appropriate) several times? Or am I the one confused about the meanings? (Though there seems to be a reverse-mistake too - aversion where subversion would be more appropriate.)
As for a list... Subversion used incorrectly: Suzumiya Haruhi, Back To The Future examples... Aversion used incorrectly: Grim Grimoire.

- In an interesting aversion, Lillet Blan of Grim Grimoire realised that the countless hundreds of repetitions she would need to learn magic to archmage levels would indeed have serious consequences on her mental health and instead cloned new versions of herself, holding nothing but the skills she had learned. When she was finally powerful enough to end the time loop she then sacrificed herself, allowing a clone of herself that had only memories of a dozen or so repetitions to live on.
I just finished the game and this doesn't seem to be true. As far as I can tell from the rather confusing ending, she didn't intentionally create a copy of herself and there's no evidence she was having mental problems from repeating the loop. There were two Lillets because of some technobabble about the older one being outside of time. Also, as far as I can tell the older one died because the loop was broken, she didn't deliberately kill herself.
