In reply to your replies, which I cant seem to reply...

People actually have been known to inherit memories, and there have been some scientific studies shown that it may be due to genetics. I'm sorry I don't have a source, but from what I remember deeply traumatic events (such as sexual assault, watching someone be killed, being in a concentration camp in WW2, and anything deeply disturbing along those lines) can affect genes.

More research is needed along those lines, but there have been cases where children, separated from their parents at birth, have memories of deeply traumatic events. It's overall extremely rare, and while it has some scientific merit, it has yet to officially been proven from what I understand.

I understand that has little-to-nothing to do with anime worlds, but hey... thought I should pitch in.
