** Inko stole a copy of ''The Analects of Confucius'' when she was young and used to quote it to win arguments. As an adult, not only does she keep quoting Confucius, but she made it her job and now she's an Ethics professor.
** Hisashi is introduced in the fic as a genius who cannot read a room, as he left his home for a prestigious science career abroad while cutting contact with his four-year-old son because he assumed he "needs space". The flashback where Majima first met him shows that those traits go back to when he was still in elementary school. He started yelling at Majima fir littering while Majima is obviously a gangster (and much older) and then proceeds with a full blown lecture over the effects of littering on the water supply.
** Saejima senses that Izuku, for all that he looks like a meek eight-year-old, has something that reminds him of a snarling dog in him. [[spoiler:Two years later he earns the title [[RedBaron "Mad Dog of Shizuoka"]] for going apeshit on the Yamikumo Clan, and after that he starts emulating Majima's Mad Dog persona.]]

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Rin Baio believes that her love of violence began when she accidentally saw ''Film/ResidentEvil2002'' on television around the age of seven. A flashback chapter, however, shows that her parents recognized the signs as early as infancy, as she would get a devilish smile whenever anything slightly violent happened around her. They did their best to quell that in her upbringing and keep Rin away from anything potentially violent; not out of any rejection or distaste for her interest, but because they quickly realized the problems Rin could encounter as she grew up until or unless she met someone who could accept that side of her.
