Dragged Off to Hell: Difference between revisions

* The final fate of Palpatine in ''[[Dark Empire]]''. Having cheated death by [[Body Surf]]ing, he is finally defeated when the Force Ghost of a Jedi grabs his spirit and departs for the afterlife.

* A more mundane variant in ''[[BPRD]]'' in that there's no dimensional transfer, but after Katha-Hem is destroyed {{spoiler|Pope}} is dragged off by the frogs, servants of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Ogdru-Hem]]. When he's next seen he no longer has any desire but to serve them, and may no longer be human.

** The Manriki can open a portal into the Choujin Hakaba as one of his Supers; he'll chuck his foe into the portal and cause lots of damage in the process.

* ''[[World of Warcraft]]''; this seems to be what the Legion and their Iron Horde allies are doing o Draenai civilians in the ''Warlords'' version of Shattrath City, using dark magic to push the screaming victims into portals. It's possible to save them by killing the mobs (and your reputation score improves by doing so), but much like any prisoners in the game, more appear as enemies respawn, so rescuing them all is impossible.

** Of course, at least with Frollo it was only allegorical. This Trope also fits Dr. Facilier's fate in ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', and in this case, it's 100% real, with the villain dragged off by his "friends on the other side" after {{spoiler|Tiana destroys the voodoo charm that served as his [[Soul Jar]]}}. He's actually not dragged to ''hell'' though, at least not in any Christian definition of Hell; it's a voodoo spirit world or something. But eh, [[Tropes Are Flexible|close enough]], and the scene is still just as terrifying.

* In ''[[Animaniacs]]'' (2020 reboot) this happens to [[Jerk Jock|Nils Niedhart]] in ''two'' different episodes. [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Not the best villain]], but he clearly has [[Joker Immunity]].
