Line 33:
* In ''[[Getter Robo|Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo]]'', Musashi has the most dignified death of all his incarnations, gleefully taking the Dinosaur Empire with him as he goes.
** This is actually pretty much the same way he goes out in the original Manga, only there he was [[Determinator|melting and on fire at the time]].
* [[You Should Know This Already|Kamina]] certainly dies this way in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' .<ref> Basically, he avenges HIS OWN DEATH.</ref>. Nia and Kittan do too.
* An interesting case where an inanimate object had a good death: the Going Merry, Luffy's first ship in ''[[One Piece]]''. It is implied during the series that the ship is sentient, and it basically keeps sailing on willpower alone until it gives out, but not before allowing Luffy to find Franky, ensuring that Luffy would have another ship to command after it was gone.
* Lelouch vi Brittania orders Kururugi Suzaku to kill him in his staged public execution of his former allies - the Black Knights, at the end of ''[[Code Geass]]''. He succeeded, not only freeing the false death mates and the entire world, but also his own burden as the "villain", knowing he has accomplished what he has to do.
Line 75:
{{quote|'''Edie''': "I died just like I lived - as the complete and utter center of attention."}}
* The old klingon warrior in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "Once More Into the Breach" dies via [[Heroic Sacrifice]], as a Klingon should, rather then die forsaken from old age.
* In ''[[Lexx]]'' Kai led some of his fellow Brunnen-G in a doomed counterattack against His Divine Shadow rather than give up and accept death like the rest of their race. In the musical episode "Brigadoon" the song about the Brnnen-G's [[Last Stand]] is even called "[[A Good Way to Die]]".
{{quote|"And so the half a dozen little craft set out, against the mighty power of His Divine Shadow. Not really believing they would win, for the prophecy told them they would not, but knowing that they would die well!"}}
