* The Circle of 60 Years in [[Touhou|Gensokyo]] is closer to [[Vicious Cycle]]. But if things in the PC-98 games are considered as have happened, then Touhou is an example of this trope in a strangely meta way: PC-98 are no longer used nor manufactured today and software written to run on it are [[Deader Than Dead]] (bar emulator). But Gensokyo itself has new iteration...
** At least one [[Fan Wank|fanwork]] were written to discuss this trope. Basically, {{spoiler|Gensokyo is not a stable realm, being severed from reality by the Yakumo boundary. Gensokyo is constantly "wounded", and it tries to kill itself (i.e. by summoning Shinki, in ''5''; or by inciting Yuuka's rampage in ''9'') to return to the rest of reality and make it whole again. The real purpose of Shrine Maiden of Hakurei is to be sacrificed to cleanse this wound... by making [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to take down the aforementioned destroyers.}} Poor Reimu.
* The Fae in ''[[Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning]]'' do not truly die like mortals. They are fated to repeat their lives endlessly in the "Great Cycle". The appearance of the Tuatha Deohn, Winter Fae who have managed to break their own Cycle thanks to the power of their new god Tirnoch, is taken as a sign by other Fae that the Cycle is ending.
