Line 126:
** [[Word of God|He'll be back, though. Eventually.]]
* This is a recurring theme in the light novel series, and the anime adaptation, of ''[[Kino's Journey]]'' in which the main character, as a drifter, has a self-imposed limit of staying three days upon reaching a town or rest stop and can give no exceptions regardless of the situation. This is in order not to form attachments to prevent the ideal of traveling. A little different in that the plot follows Kino to each next place. {{spoiler|This is explored deeper when the the main character, eventually revealed to be female, discovers a place she can finally grow used to loving while becoming acquainted with someone sharing many common and reminiscent traits with her. Coping on her decision on whether or not wishing to finally settle down, the conclusion is the final episode of the anime adaption, whilst the light novels simply continue, and still are, after that point.}}
* Remus Lupin's resignation in ''[[Harry Potter
* Mightily Oats, of all people, in the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Carpe Jugulum|Carpe Jugulum]]''.
** And he is spoken of later in a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]''.
Line 216:
* Likewise the ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' series in ''Throne of Bhaal'', in the ending where {{spoiler|you accept godhood.}}
* {{spoiler|Kratos}} in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''.
* Played straight by {{spoiler|Snake while talking to Raiden in [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]}}, and {{spoiler|a weird series' of aversions}} in [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]], where it's always made clear by [[Badass Grandpa|Old Snake]] that once he's done with his one final mission, he'll retire to die alone. {{spoiler|(Otacon even says this to Sunny after [[Battle Couple|Johnny and Meryl]]'s wedding)In a weird twist of this trope, we get to see what he does after leaving, which is to [[Driven to Suicide|kill himself]] to prevent a mutagen [[The Virus|FOXDIE]] from spreading. Then [[Retired Badass|Big]] [[Twist Ending|Boss comes out of nowhere]] and gives him a CQC Hug, tying up all loose ends in the plot, and Snake comes back with Otacon, according to [[The Stinger]], thus averting the trope}}
* [[Street Fighter|Ryu's]] ending in every game he's been in.
** One of the most memorable phrases in gaming history from his ending in any ''[[Street Fighter II]]'': "Already seeking the next challenge, ceremony means nothing to him. [[Blood Knight|The fight is everything.]]"
