Back for the Dead: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

 

* In ''[[Super Dimension Century Orguss]]'' Sley, the protagonist Kei's rival in love, is presumably lost in battle about mid way through the series, with it left unknown whether he survived or died. Some time later, Sley reunites with the crew and, within that same episode, performs a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to allow the heroes to get away from the enemy.

** Ironically, the first "death" was only shown in the beginning of that film. If they hadn't "killed" him to begin with, he wouldn't have been anywhere near to be killed again later. And then the expanded universe immediately resurrected him, putting him in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Next Generation]]'' / ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'' era stories that he couldn't have appeared in if not for his temporary death in ''[[Star Trek Generations]]''. Bringing him back only to kill him actually revived his career and popularity.

*** It should be pointed out that the Kirk "return" novels were written in part by William Shatner himself...

* Pegasus and Yugi's Grandpa in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie]]''. Good thing that this is a story about time travel.

* Clear Rivers from the original [[Final Destination]] was intended to survive to the third installment, but due to legal issues she appeared in the second movie and was killed off.

* ''[[Marble Hornets]]'' entry 51 combines this with [[Anachronic Order]], jumping back years in the series timeline to reveal the fate of a minor character from the first season. It ain't pretty.

* In ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', Achyls was a minor character in V1, working as one of the technicians for the terrorists. However, he vanished inexplicably afterwards with no explanation. He returned for V4, and seemed set to have a bigger role from before, then was abruptly killed not long after his redebut.

* Happens to the original Paper in the 200th Strong Bad Email from ''[[Homestar Runner]]''. The Paper actually died in Email 173, and later replaced by the New Paper.
