# I Always Come Back (FNAF) I Always Come Back is a Five Nights at Freddy's catchphrase spoken by the series antagonist Springtrap, aka William Afton, referencing his habit of surviving death across the game's lore. A version first appeared in the 2015 FNAF 3 trailer and the exact line was voiced in 2017's Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, feeding years of fan animations before the 2023 FNAF film sent clips of actor Matthew Lillard delivering it viral on TikTok. ## Origin On January 26th, 2015, series creator Scott Cawthon uploaded the trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's 3 to YouTube, where captions read 'He will come back' and 'he always does' over footage of the newly introduced Springtrap. The trailer passed 32 million views and seeded the earliest batch of memes about Afton being impossible to kill [3]. The exact phrasing arrived with Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, released December 4th, 2017, in which the character, now rebuilt as Scraptrap, delivers the voiced line 'I always come back' [1]. On December 17th, 2017, YouTuber Father posted a compilation of the game's voice lines that drew more than 247,000 views and gave animators a clean audio source to work from [2]. - **Platform:** YouTube (FNAF 3 trailer) / Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator - **Creator:** Scott Cawthon (originating writer); meme popularized by fan animators - **Date:** 2015 ## Overview I Always Come Back is a line of dialogue tied to the rotting rabbit animatronic Springtrap, also called Scraptrap, who houses the soul of franchise villain William Afton. In FNAF lore the character is burned, dismembered and destroyed across multiple games, only to return in a worse state each time, which is what the line directly points at [1]. Fans turned the quote into a recurring punchline for any post that treats Afton as unkillable. Most edits set a clip of Springtrap saying the line against a montage of his many on-screen deaths, or splice the audio into unrelated horror footage so a random villain seems to pop back up. Spanish-language TikTok users lip-dubbed the compilation audio over selfie reaction videos, while YouTube animators used it as the climax of melodramatic Afton confrontations [2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is I Always Come Back (FNAF)?
