** Ernesto de La Cruz’s signature song “Remember Me” feels very different upon rewatch/relisten. At first, it feels like a grand, bombastic, but harmless & standard piece of music. However, listening to it again after learning that [[spoiler: Ernesto murdered his friend Hector to steal his songs, and that Hector intended “Remember Me” to be a personal, soft-ballad for his daughter]], it really conveys [[spoiler: how much of a scumbag Ernesto is by twisting its original intent to suit his own needs]].

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', as a Dungeons and Dragons campaign where the players planned their backtories ahead of time, naturally leads to this through the players simple acting in-character. As one example, it's revealed early into Campaign 2 that Caleb Widogast was once brainwashed into murdering his parents with fire. Re-watching the first episode, where the party watches a circus performance, and you'll notice Liam O'Brien (Caleb's plater) is the only one not clapping after a performance involving fire.

** At the start of ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'', Kazuma Asogi is sent to Great Britain as an exchange student. Seishiro Jigoku, the Minister of Justice, reminds him that he has a mission, and Kazuma turns uncharacteristically grim when talking about his reasons for going. Late in the game, it is revealed that [[spoiler:Kazuma was sent to Great Britain to assassinate Tobias Gregson, and he did so with the ulterior motive of finding the truth behind his father's death]], so many scenes involving Kazuma and his "mission" come off diferently in retrospect.

* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': The "Lilo feeding her pet fish a sandwich because she thinks he can control the weather" bit at first seems like little more than a silly EstablishingCharacterMoment. Once you learn that [[spoiler:it was raining the day her parents died in a car crash]], it becomes a lot sadder.

** Every single onf of [[spoiler: Karishad]]'s appearances, with the reveal that [[spoiler: he's Kitsune's brother.]] Many of his antics come across as RefugeInAudacity and [[SarcasticConfession Sarcastic Confessions]]. It also becomes clear that his being hired by [[spoiler: Keene]] was orchestrated by him to keep an eye on them.

* ‘’Series/StewdioMACK’’ has this in spades.

* The first issue of ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' is one of the greatest in history. Once the final page reveals these "new heroes" are the Masters of Evil in disguise, fans instantly had to reread the issue to see how all the interactions play out in a much different way.
* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'' and its spin-offs have loads of foreshadowing, ArcWelding, and plenty of overlapping sidestories that enrich the series. Usually, people who read the series often reread it once they've finished all the volumes.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' is like this. Moore stated that this reason alone is why he felt it was un-filmable: there is simply too much detail going on in every panel for a movie to capture all of it.
* In ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' and other James Roberts-penned ''Transformers'' comics, Orion Pax (later Optimus Prime) works with a conspicuously unnamed senator. This relationship takes on a new light once you find out that [[spoiler:the senator is ''Shockwave'' before he went through the horrifying empurata and Shadowplay processes]].
* Once you reread the first volume of ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' you start noticing many subtle hints and foreshadowing on the finale of the series and identity of TheMole.

** Those mysterious women talking about how YouCantFightFate at the beginning of the prologue? [[spoiler:They are Daphne and Galadwen, regretting how Bloom and Stella's tragic deaths were unavoidable. Also, the unconscious woman they are tending is a grown-up Altalune, newly defeated and nearly killed by Eudora.]]

But wait, what's this? That FunnyBackgroundEvent looks suspiciously similar to the final battle. And are these conversations [[{{Foreshadowing}} really just idle chitchat?]] And doesn't that janitor kind of look like the masked crusader who appears later on? Isn't that fairy tale book on the bedside table the trope that the movie is based on?

* In the good ending of ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', it's all but outright stated that, [[spoiler:Vyers/Mid-Boss is a resurrected King Krichevskoy]]. Replaying the game with this in mind makes several moments change entirely.

** If you have Raiko say that she came to the party to see Kamen(who, at this point, has shown little but outright contempt for Raiko), Kamen's surprised. Kamen appears overwhelmed with emotion as Raiko mentions that there's something she forgot... at least until Raiko asks what she did to get on Kamen's bad side. [[spoiler:The truth is that Kamen is deeply grateful to Raiko for saving her from being accused of shoplifting, and her hostility toward Raiko is due to being upset over how much Raiko changed (since Raiko's sister died shortly after Raiko first met Kamen).]]

** Those mysterious women talking about how YouCantFightFate at the beginning of the prologue? [[spoiler: they are Daphne and Galadwen, regretting how Bloom and Stella's tragic deaths were unavoidable. Also, the unconscious woman they are tending is a grown-up Altalune, newly defeated and nearly killed by Eudora.]]
** The nymph Indís and her husband watching the time travelers depart with their daughter who has just arrived at the place? [[spoiler: And that happening after Altalune was told by Blair (Snotra's daughter) that her parents couldn't bid her their goodbyes because they were busy? Oh, dear, that's because those two families are the same people but changing between secret identities.]]
** Flora easily deducing the time travelers' identities? [[spoiler: Nobody doubts Flora is smart beyond belief but, in this particular case, it wasn't her brains but that she already knew.]]

** The reveal that [[spoiler: Beetle is actually Hanzo]] makes every interaction with Kubo and Monkey heartwarming since [[spoiler: he was reunited with his son and wife respectively without any of them realizing it.]]
** Monkey and Beetle bicker with each other and yet show affection to each other and towards Kubo. [[spoiler: It's because they are actually Hanzo and Sariatu, Kubo's parents.]]
** Beetle has a habit of making goofy jokes. [[spoiler: He is making ''dad'' jokes.]]
** There are times when Kubo and Beetle are strangely in sync. Such as when Monkey tells them not to touch the skull rock formation and they both do anyways. Or when they both stuff their faces rather messily. [[spoiler: Like father, like son.]]
** Beetle guessed that the first four words Hanzo said to [[spoiler: Monkey/Sariatu]] to make them fall for him was "I love you, [[spoiler: Monkey]]" when Hanzo really said, "You are my quest". [[spoiler: Since Beetle is actually Hanzo, his first guess was unintentionally telling his wife that he loves her.]]

** The first case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' hits much harder after the fourth and fifth cases. [[spoiler: The fourth case reveals how Dahlia traumatized Mia when they first met, and showed that she had such a bad reaction to Phoenix eating evidence because Terry Fawles, the defendant in the first Dahlia case, ''also'' ate poison to protect Dahlia... but Terry actually died for a girl who never loved him and used him as a scapegoat. The fifth case reveals that Phoenix's character judgement skills ''weren't'' as horribly off as ''Turnabout Memories'' implies; the reason he was so confused about Dahlia's character is that he had her confused with her twin sister [[SheepInSheepsClothing Iris]], since Iris had performed a TwinSwitch with Dahlia and was the girl actually dating Phoenix. The ''real'' Dahlia had switched back for the murder and Phoenix's trial, so Phoenix was correct when he claimed that his girlfriend had been replaced by an impostor.]]
** Playing ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth 2'' will never be the same after the reveal that [[spoiler: Simon Keyes was behind everything. The InsaneTrollLogic Sebastian used to justify his arrest? ''Completely correct'', except that Simon manipulated Patricia Roland into doing the deed instead of doing it himself. Dane Gustavia in case 3? Simon's father, and his actions during the flashback case are part of the reason why Simon turned evil. All of the villains were ''Simon'''s targets; he just pointed Edgeworth in the right direction.]] To a lesser extent, there's the reveal that [[spoiler: Di-Jun Huang was DeadAllAlong, and the guy you meet in the present is a body double who took his place, which explains why Huang was such a BitchInSheepsClothing.]]
** It's recommended that you play ''Turnabout Reclaimed'', the DLC case for ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', between playing cases 2 and 3 (which is when it's set), instead of as a bonus after the game, because [[spoiler: the fifth main case reveals that Bobby Fulbright, the detective of the game, was [[BigBad the phantom]] [[ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter all along]], meaning players might be thrown for a bit of a loop by Fulbright helping out like he does in the first 4 cases and the other characters interacting with him normally.]]
** The final chapter of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' hits differently after the trial reveals [[spoiler: Dhurke was DeadAllAlong and being channeled. Maya was never in danger, because she was channeling him. His awkward attempts to bond with Apollo? He knew he didn't have long before the channeling gave out. Freaking out about Amara being in danger? She was the one channeling him at that point; if he was executed, she would be too.]]

*** [[spoiler:When Shuichi gets the cameras, the story does not advance until you, as Kaede, investigate the shot put balls, resulting in her picking one up(and never mentioning putting it back). The first murder is committed with a shot put ball.]] First-time players can easily miss this if they end up checking everything in the room and don't realize that [[spoiler:the shot put balls]] must be investigated to advance.

** [[spoiler: Shuichi in the prologue also acts the same as Shuichi in the main game and very different from Audition Tape!Shuichi, which casts some doubt on the tapes' veracity. After all, the BigBad is the Ultimate Cosplayer and demonstrates the ability to perfectly imitate previous ''Danganronpa'' characters, so it's entirely possible she faked at least some of it to demoralize him]].

** The poems initially seem normal but actually allude to the girls' issues. [[spoiler:Sayori]]'s poems hint at their depression and making others happy despite being miserable. [[spoiler:Natsuki]]'s have a theme of not measuring up and being judged, likely inspired by their home life and classmates. One of [[spoiler:Yuri]]'s poems is about SelfHarm. [[spoiler:Monika]]'s poems are all about their self-awareness of [[spoiler:being in a game]], their attempts to connect with the player and [[spoiler:their AndIMustScream state she endures when the game is shut off]].
