      isekai is a trope (don’t know how to explain better) in animes where the main character gets reincarnated in another world (usually fantasy, but not always) and carries all memories of his previous life.

      This means, the protagonist “dies” in the first episode, before reincarnation. 99% of the times hit by a truck.

      Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. “different world” or “otherworld”) is a genre of speculative fiction. It includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a displaced person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, virtual world, or parallel universe. Usually sent via being hit by a truck, hence the pic.

      Non anime examples:
      Jumanji (the new ones)
      Alice in wonderland
      Tron
      The wizard of Oz

    You also need to provide the kid that must be saved last minute, because they stupidly ran after their soccer ball, and their dumb ass is now in the middle of the road.
