* ''[[Diablo]]''. See, there are these things called soulstones, used to imprison the spirits of the main [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of the game. But one of them, Baal, managed to shatter his. The biggest shard left wasn't powerful enough to hold him. A very powerful mage named Tal Rasha selflessly offers his powers to contain the demon in the soulstone. Guess what this entails? ''They strap his body to a giant stone tablet in an ancient tomb in the middle of a desert, shove the stone into his chest, and leave him to eternally battle a demon for his mind!'' {{spoiler|About halfway through the second game, the main evil party releases Baal from his body, with the side effect of killing Tal Rasha.}} |

** In another example, an [http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Inarius immortal angel] made a stupid move to attack one of the main villains when not thoroughly prepared. Proceed to angel being captured by a pissed off [[Big Bad]]. They ''slowly'' ripped off his wings, and then put huge barbed hooks through his skin and stretched it out. After that, they trapped him in a chamber of mirrors, with his eyelids torn off. ''So that the only thing he can see for all eternity is his torn, bloated figure.'' |

* As revealed in ''[[Mega Man Zero]] 4'', this was the punishment of [[Big Bad|Dr. Weil]] for his orchestration of [[World Sundering|the Elf Wars]]. {{spoiler|His consciousness was implanted into a constantly-regenerating armor, making him somewhat ''immortal''}}. If that wasn't enough, he was sent to exile on the barren wasteland that he caused, forever banned from returning to the last place in the world that was inhabitable. [[Complete Monster|If he's bad enough back then, he only got worse now because of THAT...]] Death '''really''' wouldn't let him escape this fate. |

After Zero {{spoiler|defeated him for good, Weil, [[Body Horror|fused to the remains of]] [[Colony Drop|Ragnarok]], remains immortal, but now, he's completely immobile. He could've stayed that way forever if it weren't for an unlucky group of humans that ''just'' happen to find his remains, and he [[Demonic Possession|possesses one of them]], still intent on revenge on humanity.}} Try to guess who is responsible for everything that's happened in the ''[[Mega Man ZX]]'' series? |
