I have always been kinda confused on the combat data that Umbrella wanted to get from the different BOWs. The idea of their deployment to Raccoon City was to see how well of a fighter they were, but why then? Wasn't experimental combat in the labs enough? And the Nemesis deployment. It was a prototype, not even as perfected as Mr. X but way more intelligent. But why deploy him to kill out Jill Valentine? Couldn't this have been easier with a spy or a normal person? Or are STARS member really THAT tough that you have to send an incredibly strong and intelligent monster to kill them off? I think sending a BOW like Nemesis would be way more noticeable than sending an infiltrated and killing her quickly off guard while pretending to be an ally.
The 33 hospitals The Markup found sending patient appointment details to Facebook collectively reported more than 26 million patient admissions and outpatient visits in 2020, according to the most recent data available from the American Hospital Association. Our investigation was limited to just over 100 hospitals; the data sharing likely affects many more patients and institutions than we identified.
Chris returns to duty in the BSAA with Piers and a new team, arriving in a besieged Lanshiang. Chris recovers from his amnesia and seeks revenge against "Ada", resulting in casualties for his squad. Chris and Piers confront "Ada", until Leon intervenes. After being informed by Leon, Chris and Piers pursue "Ada" to an aircraft carrier, destroying cruise missiles laden with the C-virus.

Defendant Trans Union's automated system made no changes to plaintiff's file because defendant Sears's response indicated that the deceased notation should be removed from the remark field but not from the ECOA code field. On July 15, 2003, defendant Trans Union mailed plaintiff a report of the reinvestigation. Defendant Sears changed the ECOA code it provided to defendants Trans Union and Equifax from "consumer deceased" to "individual account" in two universal data forms that it sent on July 14 and 17, 2003. According to its records, defendant Trans Union provided plaintiff's credit report to only two of its subscribers between April 29 and July 31, 2003: Community Bank of Cameron-Grantsburg and U.S. Bank.
Less certain is personal information for customers and business partners, as logs appear to have been lost during the attack. Capcom says up to 350,000 records for addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birthdates and more may have been compromised, but explained that none of the potentially stolen data includes credit card information. You can see the full list of compromised and potentially compromised data at the bottom of this story.
Anime & Manga
- Dr. STONE:
- Byakuya Ishigami, Senku's father, manages this many times over. After all of humanity is turned to stone, Byakuya is one of only a half dozen survivors. He and his fellow survivors establish a community that lasts into the story's present day, 3,700 years later. He devises stories designed primarily to teach his descendants to survive in the stone world. However, the 100 Tales Byakuya created also serve another purpose. That purpose is to deliver a message to his son, Senku, who he has absolute faith will eventually break out of the stone and restart humanity. Byakuya's 100 Tales ensure that Senku will have a village of potential allies ready to go when he arrives and allows him to leave a message of encouragement for Senku.
- Much later, Senku realizes through the 100 Tales that his father went even further and left him a "treasure chest", a time capsule containing something he could use. When it's finally found, it's full of sand and other minerals, including platinum, which can be utilized to easily create the revival fluid that can undo petrification. Flashbacks show that Byakuya spent his last decades gathering anything and everything he could that might be of help to Senku when the time came.
- Dragon Ball does an inversion of this trope, at least from Bulma's perspective: she builds a time machine and sends her son Trunks 20 years back in time to prevent their apocalyptic future. Due to the way time travel works in Dragon Ball this doesn't affect her future whatsoever, but it does mean that there is one NOT ravaged by Androids, and that's enough for her. Similarly, Future Trunks goes out of his way to destroy Cell as an embryo in the past: again this is of no benefit to him, but it means that Cell can't hijack a time machine once he's fully grown to terrorize another timeline.
- It's revealed in Fairy Tail that this is the case with Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue, who were all flung 400 years from the past via the Eclipse Gate to a time when magic was plentiful in the hope of gaining the proper strength to defeat Acnologia. The day that their dragon parents disappeared was, in reality, the day they arrived to the modern era.
- Flame of Recca: Recca was born in the Warring States Era, but flung into the future (that is, our present) by a forbidden spell, to escape the annihilation of his ninja-clan at the hands of Oda Nobunaga. Unfortunately, The Rival Psycho for Hire hitched a ride...
- Gall Force: With both sides about to wipe each other out, our heroines manage to encode a chip with a message for the future, so something of their civilization will survive. The epilogue shows astronauts from the present cycle (us) recovering the space probe. It doesn't end well.
- GaoGaiGar: The leader of the Green Planet sends his son, and a giant mechanical lion, to Earth to escape Zonderization, along with technological records of the weapons used to fight them inside the lion.
- In the bonus chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman known as Dragon Ball Minus and Dragon Ball Super: Broly, we learn that Goku's parents sent him to Earth to protect him from Frieza. They suspected that Frieza was up to something when he recalled all the Saiyans to their home planet and knew that they couldn't leave since the scouters would sense them. So, they sent their youngest child to safety since Raditz was already off-world with Vegeta. Unlike most examples, they just wanted Goku to live and him kicking the ass of their murderer years later was an added bonus.
- At the end of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Jolyne sacrifices herself to let Emporio escape Pucci, survive the effects of Made in Heaven and defeat Pucci in the new universe he created.
- As revealed in Macross Zero, the Protoculture of Macross did it at least once: they left on Earth the Bird Human, to be activated when humanity reached the stars to reveal them the amazing technologies created by Protoculture... Or, if we hadn't renounced war yet, bomb us back to the stone age so we wouldn't be another army of Zentraedi ravaging the galaxy.
- At the end of Magical Destroyers Otaku Hero, having read SHOBON's notebook and learned that everything in it was coming true, flung away his helmet because he was supposed to die wearing it, with this last act throwing the script off and giving the other otaku a fighting chance, with a new Otaku Hero picking up the helmet to lead the fight in the future.
- My Hero Academia:
- The One For All Quirk is a superpower that is passed down to succeeding generations of heroes. The original user was the younger brother of All For One and he wasn't strong enough to defeat him. So he passed on the Quirk to his successors, praying that if they slowly cultivated One For All, the Quirk would become strong enough to defeat All For One.
- The fourth user did this as well. Rather than trying to fight All For One, he instead spent his "turn" living in seclusion, trying to build up as much power as he could before passing it on to the next guy.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion:
- Evangelion Unit-01. So long as a single human soul exists within it, it will stand as eternal proof that Humanity existed, even when the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are all long gone. That's rather hopeful for a series well known for its terrifying imagery.
- The various official materials and videogame adaptations reveal this is the origin of both the Angels and mankind, having been created when an ancestral alien species sent out progenitor beings (dubbed "Seeds of Life") billions of years in the past to different planets to seed intelligent life. The conflict in the series originated because two Seeds of Life landed on Earth by accident, creating two separate and different forms of "human" life - the Angels and humanity.
- In No Game No Life, the former "Fool King" of Immanity had challenged the Warbeast race eight times to a game, betting large portions of territory despite the kingdom's resources being nearly spent. While most of the territory was useless with his people's existing technology, this still ended with eight losses that cost his people the majority of their territory and left them with nothing but a single city remaining. However, while this appeared to be a fool act that hastened the demise of the human race, the truth is the king knew the kingdom's resources were running out fast and that he personally had little chance to defeat any of the other races, so he challenged the Warbeasts who required contestants to have their memories erased in order to prevent loss on their part, used his resources and apparent weakness to convince them to play with the decreased cost of not telling anyone as long as he lived, and then worked around this pledge by sealing his knowledge in a book to be opened by the next king. Then, instead of passing the crown to his daughter, he arranged it that the next king would be chosen by a series of contests. In this way, he gave his race a fighting chance, ensuring that the knowledge he'd accumulated would be in the hands of a talented successor capable of using it to challenge the Warbeasts and win.
- One Piece:
- More than eight hundred years ago, the forefathers of the current World Government waged war against an ancient, advanced civilization and wiped them out completely. They then did their best to erase all evidence of their enemy's existence, but could not complete their goal because this ancient kingdom, before being defeated, created a number of huge, indestructible steles, known as Poneglyphs, which recorded the history of the "Void Century" for future generations, including information on their Lost Superweapons. Since the World Government could not destroy this history, they made it a capital crime to even know how to read them.
- In the Wano arc, its revealed that Kozuki Toki LITERALLY did this with Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Okiku, using her Time-Time Fruit power to send them 20 years to the future, where they could find allies and raise up a rebellion to defeat Orochi and Kaido.
- In Robotech, it's implied that Zor sent his battlefortress to Earth for this, so someone that weren't either the tyrannical Robotech Masters or the now crazed Invid would hold the secrets of Robotechnology and the power source behind it and not misuse it. Sadly, the Masters' troops tracked his ship down before their fuel could run out...
- Sailor Moon: The premise, with the dying Queen sending the senshi's souls forward from the utopian moon kingdom as it collapses, in order to reincarnate in the modern era so they can defeat the dark kingdom as it reawakens.
- Scrapped Princess: The eponymous character, Pacifica Casull, was genetically designed to resist the will of automated defense mechanisms that had taken over the world in an interstellar war thousands of years earlier, however it was done in such a way that the necessary genes for her creation wouldn't come together until long after humanity had ever forgotten that they were in an interstellar war.
- 7 Seeds takes place After the End and reveals that when scientists predicted that meteorites were going to crash on earth and most likely wipe out humanity, the government did several methods and measures in hopes of minimizing the damage, and one of them, which was said to be the most outrageous and idealistic method, was to select five groups of seven people and one guide each (the "7 Seeds Project") and cryogenically preserve them until earth was deemed inhabitable again. The manga shows the good and bad sides of doing this.
- Spriggan: An advanced ancient civilization, on the eve of its destruction, leaves behind a message plate with the inscription "Protect our legacy from evil forces." The ARCAM foundation and its agents, known as spriggans (or Strikers, in English) are supposed to uncover and seal away all advanced artifacts of said civilization to prevent the destruction of our own.
- The Gunmen and spiral tech in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann were all initially designed to fight the Anti-Spirals, and still work in that function. After a crushing defeat from the Anti-Spirals, the Gunmen were retooled to suppress spiral life so the Anti-Spirals would not indiscriminately wipe them out. When the Anti-Spirals came knocking after Lordgenome's defeat, they were restored to their original function to save humanity once again.
- Time Stop Hero: King Tutoom MountCape was planning to face the Forces of Darkness when they returned but suffered a terminal disease. Knowing he wouldn't live long enough to face them, he prepared an armory and clues so that his son's generation would be able to fight them.
