Line 34:
** The anime also shows {{spoiler|Satella}}'s body laid out for viewing in a church, possibly after her funeral.
** And both versions have Rosette and Joshua find Chrono sleeping in a tomb, that was sealed with holy magic and intricately carved. Flashbacks later reveal that its the grave of {{spoiler|Mary Magdalene}}, and show her in her coffin laying on a bed of flowers before her tomb is sealed.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', the fact that Sousuke is respectful to the dead becomes a ''huge'' plot point in ''The Second Raid''. It's eventually revealed that the reason for Gauron's [[Stalker with a Crush|obsession]] and [[Love At First Sight]] towards Sousuke stems from having seen the dignified way [[The Stoic|Sousuke]] serenely dragged and threw the corpses of all his fallen enemies into a makeshift burial. There was no compassion or great emotion found in Sousuke's eyes while he was doing that, and his reason for doing it was presumably because of his own internal set of morals.
** And as for Gauron himself, he reveals that when he was around the same age as Sousuke, he was ordered to arrange the bodies of the victims of the Khmer Rouge his Pol Pot colleagues killed. The similarities in that aspect end there, however. Although he was forced to give proper burials to the people his superiors killed, he is shown to be [[Ax Crazy|sick and perverse]], and is later shown to have wanted Kaname's body to be raped and brutally violated by the assassin he sent after her (along with photos to be taken of it). Of course, his reason for that might be based more on his want for revenge against the girl that is [[Defrosting Ice Queen|melting the heart]] of his "beautiful" Assassin Saint.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', {{spoiler|when fighting Ulquiorra for the last time, Ichigo's inner hollow takes him over more completely than ever before and he becomes a mindless killing machine, the only humanity left in him focused singularly on protecting Orihime, to the point of impaling his ally Ishida. Once Ulquiorra is down for the count and Ichigo has clearly won, he doesn't stop like he normally would, but makes a move to start mutilating his helpless enemy. Ishida calls him out on this, essentially telling him this would be a [[Moral Event Horizon]] if he doesn't stop}}. He stops. Technically, {{spoiler|Ulquiorra}} wasn't dead yet when {{spoiler|Ichigo}} went to carve him up, but the way it was played fits with this trope to the "t."
Line 114:
** Earlier, his [[Rousing Speech]] said, "we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here."
* In Nick Kyme's ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' novel ''[[Salamanders|Salamander]]'', Tsu'gan fights fiercely to protect his dead captain's body; the next chapter features all his company attending his funeral.
* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire|Harry Potter]]'', {{spoiler|Cedric's}} ghost asks Harry to retrieve his corpse, and Harry does so.
** In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Harry Potter]]'', many students want to attend {{spoiler|Dumbledore's}} funeral.
** In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', Harry {{spoiler|sees fallen [[Never Found the Body|Moody]]'s [[Finally Found the Body|magical eye]] on Umbridge's office door and is so enraged that he steals it back, which ends up helping blow their cover}}. He later buries it under ''"the oldest, most gnarled and resilient-looking tree he could find"'', marking the spot with a cross on the trunk.
** Later in the same book, he insists on {{spoiler|digging Dobby's grave by hand, rather than using magic.}}
** This is something even [[Big Bad|Voldemort]] respects allowing the schooll, besieged by his forces, time to mourn their dead.
