Climactic Battle Resurrection: Difference between revisions

=== '''As a [[Death Trope]], all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.''' ===

 

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' did that more than once, but a special mention must go for when all of the Gold Saints (including several that actually [[Death Is Cheap|rose from the dead to come to help]]) joined forces to open up the way so the Bronze Saints can defeat [[Complete Monster|Hades]], [[Heroic Sacrifice|dying in the process]]. It also doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and [[Tear Jerker]].

* The third season of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' apparently kills off Asuka, Manjyome, Fubuki, Tyranno, Ryo, Edo, Amon, Echo, O'Brien, and Jim, but all of them (except, apparently, Amon and Echo) turn out to be [[Not Quite Dead]].

* ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' - Essentially the entire plot of Mirai Nikki, as almost the entire cast of characters is pit against one another with the ultimate goal being that the winner of the survival game gets to be god himself. However Deus ex Machina (aka God) states that this is impossible without striking up a good ol' fashioned [[Alternate Timeline]].

* Final arc of ''[[Gash Bell]]''. While the basic rule of the battle to decide Mamodo king is that Mamodo simply return to their world when their book is burnt, a book being burnt and a Mamodo returning to the Mamodo world [[Never Say Die|is nevertheless treated like death]] on this show. This is made even more serious when there are only 10 Mamodo left in the human world, as it is announced that during this final stage of the battle, every single Mamodo in the Mamodo world loses their body and becomes spirits. Remaining competitors will also lose their body as soon as they return to the Mamodo world, and only the new king will have the right to return them their bodies (or ''not'' return their bodies and simply make them disappear from the Mamodo world). During the arc, most of Gash's friends end up returning to the Mamodo world from [[Heroic Sacrifice|HeroicSacrifices]] or [[Heroic RROD|HeroicRRODs]]. However, when the last battle with Clear Note turns out to be almost impossible to win with the protagonist's power alone, Gash's book turns golden, and Mamodo Gash has befriended throughout the whole series appear and help Gash out by letting him use their ultimate spells.

* Subverted in ''[[Madlax]]'' where Madlax and Margaret ''may'' have resurrected Vanessa and Elenore with their [[Reality Warper]] powers, but they don't actually show up again.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Film)|The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor]]'' had [[Michelle Yeoh]]'s character resurrecting the people [[The Emperor]] killed, resulting in a battle between two armies of mummies.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

** A straighter example from the same book is the final battle at Hogwarts, featuring everybody who hasn't died yet. [[Anyone Can Die|Yet...]]

** Also, at the end of ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire|Harry Potter]]'', several of Voldemort's previous victims appear out of his wand and fend him off for Harry to get a head start to the Portkey.

** In the rerelease, you can actually have them in your party again.

* Another [[Final Fantasy (Franchise)|Final Fantasy]] related, and [[Inverted Trope|reversed]] version would be Apocalypse Nigh, an endgame mission after the competion of the Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia expansions for ''[[Final Fantasy XI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XI]]''. The opening cutscene has every surviving major NPC ally join you in a brawl against every main enemy NPC you defeated, brought back by the Emptiness. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted, however,]] as the actual fight only involves your PC party against the two enemy leaders of the Rise of the Zilart expansion.

* ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'' has enough cheese in its Battle Royale for four [[RPG|RPGs]]. [[Completely Missing the Point|Rocket-Propelled Gouda?]]

* ''[[Star Fox (Video Game)|Star Fox]] Assault'' ends with a Battle Royale With Cheese, as Fox's home planet of Corneria, General Pepper, and even Peppy all die Disney Deaths in the final battles with the Aparoids. Thankfully, [[Hijacked By Ganon|Andross is nowhere to be found]].

* The end of [[Onimusha]]: Dawn of Dreams has all the characters of the party facing off against their personal rivals so that [[The Hero]] Soki can continue on to [[Big Bad]] Hideyoshi.

* Ironically [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|The World Ends With You]] manages to use this trope despite the fact that all the characters start off dead. They bump into Shiki (who was Neku's week two entry fee) at the Shibuya River , Joshua was proved to fake his [[Heroic Sacrifice]], and you finally gain access to Rhyme's Noise. Doubly ironic becuase the [[Final Boss]] is the only battle where none of your partners fight.

* ''[[Romancing Sa ga 3]]'' has one quest where you're going after an evil priest Maximus. While you're going through a path, your teammates will "fall" into the traps set by him. This make you have to fight Maximus alone for mutiple turns before the team slowly regroup.
