Line 2: [[File:CrowdedCloud.jpg\|link=The Simpsons\|frame\|Sometimes [[Heaven]] has a [[Mentor Occupational Hazard\|mentor]] surplus.]] Oh no! The [[Love Interest]], [[Mentors]], [[Parental Abandonment\|parents]], [[Dead Little Sister\|little sister]], or another emotionally significant character to the hero has been killed by the villain. [[Emotional Torque\|Woe!]] However, it's ok. Because the [[Big Bad]] has been beat, and their [[Our Souls Are Different\|souls]] can rest peacefully in [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]]. To demonstrate this, their ashes, ectoplasm, or even (and this one's popular) the clouds themselves form into their faces, and smile serenely down at our (still living) heroes before [[Everything Fades\|fading away]] to their [[Heaven\|eternal reward.]] Typically a [[~~Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)\|~~Heartwarming Moments]]. Common in children's movies where you get a [[Death by Newbery Medal]], and sentimental films in general. Line 19: * The Shitennou (Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite) from the original manga version of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' end up this way, their smiling souls fading away while saying that they'll always watch over Endymion/Mamoru. ** In the anime version, this happens to [[Quirky Miniboss Squad\|the Amazon Trio]], who die but gain human souls that are allowed to dwell in Elysion afterwards. * ''[[Darker ~~Than~~than Black]]'' does this in the last episode {{spoiler\|where the protagonist receives encouragement from characters who have died in the course of the series.}} Kind of a unique example, as nearly all of these characters were ''antagonists'' of the protagonist, and most of those died by his hand. ** [[Grey and Gray Morality\|Just because they were antagonists doesn't mean they were bad guys.]] * Radium Lavans of [[Zone of the Enders]] - Dolores finally manages to break free from the insanity that had gripped him since the prequel series, the spirits of Viola and Dolores helping him [[Redemption Equals Death\|redeem himself in his last moments.]] He dies with a smile on his face. Line 100: == [[Visual Novels]] == * There is one in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'': [[Updated Rerelease\|Realta Nua]] for {{spoiler\|[[Determinator\|Shirou]] and [[Lady of War\|Saber]]}}. They meet again in the last episode, which clearly takes place after they had both died. == [[Web Comics]] == * {{spoiler\|The two mentors}} in ''[[Angel Moxie]]''. * Parodied on ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]],'' at [https://web.archive.org/web/20090202073841/http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=52&issue=5 the end of the D.A.R.E. arc]. ** Also shows up later on [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p47/ during the Futures Saving arc] with {{spoiler\|Dan & Mitzi performing a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] together}}. * In ''[[The ~~Order of the Stick\|~~Order of the Stick]]''{{'}}s "Start of Darkness: {{spoiler\|Dorukan fails to rescue Lirian's soul from a magical gem and ends up trapped with her, she assures him it [[You Are Worth Hell\|is no longer a prison to her]]}}. * After his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] the titular hero of ''[[~~Its~~Walkyverse\|It's Walky!]]'' has a joyful reunion in the afterlife with his old friends and comrades. {{spoiler\|Even though he's just passing through.}} In fact more friends keep arriving all the time, signifying that the final battle against the Martians is still going on. * Played with in ''[[Homestuck]]'', the dead heroes are shown to be concerned at first because the [[Big Bad]] is still active and their friends who are still alive are in trouble, but pretty shortly they relax because they no longer ''have'' to worry and basically become very chill [[Spirit Advisor~~\|Spirit Advisors~~]]s. * In ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'', [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0192.html this is deduced rather than seen, the raise dead having not reason to fail except that Pauline is happy in the afterlife.] Then [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0200.html confirmed] with a [[Picnic Episode]]. == [[Western Animation]] == Line 121 ⟶ 119: [[Category:Death Tropes]] [[Category:Smile Tropes]] [[Category:~~Died Happily Ever After~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
