Line 8:
Needless to say, frequently doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. Although it can also come off as very [[Death Is Cheap|cheap]] and maybe with a [[Deus Ex Machina]] thrown in, especially if it's over the whole series.
Contrast [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]], [[Kill'Em All]], and [[Nobody Can Die]]. Not to be confused with ''[[
'''This is an [[Ending Tropes|Ending trope]], so beware of spoilers.'''
Line 74:
== Literature ==
* [[Terry Pratchett]], while writing ''[[Good Omens]]'', insisted that nobody would die as a result of {{spoiler|Adam the Antichrist's}} existence, to the point of persuading the co-author [[Neil Gaiman]] to reverse the deaths of {{spoiler|several innocent [[Acceptable Targets|telephone salespeople]] at the mandibles of an enraged demon}}.
* ''[[Harry Potter
* Done in ''[[Breaking Dawn]]'', when {{spoiler|Bella is pregnant and everyone keeps going on about how she either has to abort the baby or the birthing will kill her. Technically her heart stops twice during the delivery, but Bella survives and has the baby, thanks to Edward turning her into a vampire immediately after the baby is born}}. We get it again in the last part of the book, when {{spoiler|an army of vampires gather to fight the Voulturi, with a huge fight looking eminent. And then, they have a nice talk and everyone goes home. Well Irena dies, but most of them forget about that.}}
** Pretty much the whole series, in regards to the good guys. In all four books, the only good guy who dies is Harry Clearwater in New Moon (And some guy named Waylon in the Twilight movie who wasn't in the book.) It's amazing that in Eclipse, they manage to go through a battle with absolutely no casualties.
Line 102:
** There was also the episode with the [[All Just a Dream]] ending, so after Jess returns to reality we see the "murder victim" alive and well.
* Be very wary when ''[[Law & Order|Law and Order]]'' does this - if the [[Victim of the Week]] is still standing at the start of the trial segment, as a rule, the assailant will plead out and ''he'll'' be the one on trial for whatever made people try to kill him.
** Although the Season 16 episode "[[Law and Order (Franchise)/Recap/S16
** Another rare straight example is the [[Series Finale]]. The detectives come across a website of someone boasting they're going to shoot up and blow up a school while showing off enough ammo and explosives to make their threat credible. The scramble is to try to find the perp before he can carry out his boast. In the end, a school shooting does occur, but the shooter is overpowered before he can kill anybody. Also, at her retirement party, Van Buren learns that her cancer tests have come back negative, and happily introduces everybody to her fiancee.
* ''[[Kamen Rider|Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'', whose main premise was [[There Can Be Only One]], ends with {{spoiler|Len/Knight}} as the last remaining Rider after everyone else has been killed off. However, the master of the Rider War isn't too happy with this outcome (since {{spoiler|his proxy Odin wasn't the winner}}) and attempts to [[Reset Button Ending|start things over by rewinding time]]. However, Yui finally convinces him that no matter how many times the Rider War is run, {{spoiler|[[You Can't Fight Fate|she will never accept a new life from him]] if it's at the cost of thirteen others}}. So this time when he rewinds everything, he stays in the [[Phantom Zone|Mirror World]] with Yui and never starts the Rider War in the first place. Thus, [[Everybody Lives]]. Bravo, Yasuko Kobayashi.
