** Muhammed Avdol of the third part was shot in the head by Hol Horse (giving Polnareff a lesson about not being a selfish prick, and working together), but came back in a later chapter (where it was revealed that the bullet bounced off his skull). The kicker here is that he's killed off only a few chapters later by Dio's Dragon, Vanilla Ice.

** Before him, in the second part, Stroheim blows himself up with a grenade in an attempt to kill Santana, who is crawling into his wounded leg. Some twenty chapters later, he returns as a cyborg.

* ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] 2''. Technically, it's back from the non-existant, seeing as the main character fixed the timeline, thus wiping him out of existance.

* ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'': In Leon's first scenario, Ada gets shot by Annette and falls off a ledge, in which case it's a [[Never Found the Body]], so she would be [[Not Quite Dead]]. In Leon's second scenario, she is clearly [[Killed Off for Real]] in front of him, blood loss and all. In both scenarios, however, she apparently comes back in a [[Deus Ex Machina]] moment during the penultimate battle with Mr. X, to throw a rocket launcher to the player character. Either way, she comes in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''.

* Liquid Snake in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty]]'' comes back from the dead by possessing Revolver Ocelot. However, by [[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots|the fourth installment]], it's all a ruse. That is, he apparently really did possess Ocelot in 2, but Ocelot removed the possessing limb and then brainwashed himself to appear possessed to fool his enemies from then on.

* In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', if you accidentally kill a girlfriend or other character important to the plot, they will later come Back from the Dead and tell you to pick them up from the hospital. However, it is possible with some of the lesser girlfriends to [[Killed Off for Real|kill them off permanently]] if done a certain way, as in ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]''.

* The ''[[Shining Force]] [[Gaiden Game|Gaiden]]'' games do this with the [[Big Bad]] from the first returning as a vengeful ghost near the end of the second.

* ''[[Narbonic]]'': Helen, being a [[Mad Scientist]], has no problem resurrecting Dave after her mom kills him. It does have stages, though:

* Roast Beef, Ray, Todd and Téodor from ''[[Achewood]]'' have all gone through this at least once through the comic's run, and Molly managed to come back to Earth from heaven after hundreds of years. It remains to be seen if Little Nephew can attempt the same feat.

* In ''[[One Over Zero|1/0]]'', Manny is killed, and results in the creation of Max, Marcus, and Andy, shortly after Teddy Weddy falls on him. Later, as Junior tries to leave, Tailsteak recreates Manny in the form of a ghost known as Ghanny, and from then on, all characters who die (with an exception of Max, who ends up [[Deader Than Dead]]) become a ghost.

* Starscream does this on a regular basis in the ''[[Insecticomics]]'' (see the Transformers entry below). Thrust has also done this twice, once after being crushed to death by Unicron in ''[[Transformers Armada]]'', a resurrection that was never really explained despite the fact that he's mentioned it more than once and once after being killed by the Fallen, then dragged back to her body by Starscream's ghost.

* Oasis from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' has come Back from the Dead no less than five times, and her "sister" Kusari at least once. How Oasis does this is unknown (even to her), and since they usually [[Never Found the Body]], her simply being [[Not Quite Dead]] remains possible. As of more recent arcs, not only has the body been found, it has been found while Oasis is up and kicking in a new one.
