A SuperTrope to both SealedEvilInACan (where the past generations could only seal the evil, rather than destroy it) and SinsOfOurFathers (where the "generation" part requires ''literal'' direct descent). BreakOutTheMuseumPiece may be required to deal with it. Not to be confused with HistoricalDomainCrossover or with time-traveling villains.

It's TheFuture (or AlternateUniverse), whether [[{{Utopia}} bright and shiny]] or [[UsedFuture gritty]] [[AfterTheEnd and violent]], and as if its residents didn't have enough on their minds, a major issue from their civilization's collective DarkAndTroubledPast arises once more and has to be dealt with ASAP, kicking off the plot. Said issue may have something to do with {{Great Offscreen War}}s, {{Forgotten Superweapon}}s or [[ThePlague deadly diseases]] still on the loose, but not necessarily. Often, the nature of the issue is the object of the author's criticism of contemporary state of the world (so expect the future generations to go "WhatAnIdiot!" over their ancestors' actions); this trope lends itself well to {{Green Aesop}}s.

* The interdimensional community in the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' series is more or less a technological Utopia still reeling from the Belkan War 80 years ago. Almost Every season so far revolved around a piece of Belkan legacy from said war.
