Line 63:
*** Immediately following him, {{spoiler|Natarle Badgiruel}} smiles serenely as {{spoiler|the Archangel destroys the Dominion, content in the knowledge that she's taking [[Complete Monster]] Azrael out with her.}}
**** {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Rau Le Creuset]]}} is the creepier version of this, dying with a smile after [[The Hero|Kira]] impales him, due to his belief that [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|the entire world]] will be following him. It's both chilling, and kind of sad at the same time, as you realize what a wreck the man's life truly was.
***** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' did the same kind of thing with {{spoiler|Ginias Sakhalin, who goes out with a particularly creepy and detached [[Psychotic Smirk]].}}
** In ''Gundam SEED C.E 73 Stargazer'', {{spoiler|[[What an Idiot!|after ignoring orders to return and exhausting all his Gundam's energy]], Shams Couza smiles before he get shot to death by [[Mecha Mook|DSSD Astrays]].}}
* In ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]'', Schwarz Brudder and {{spoiler|Domon's brother Kyouji, who he is robot replica of,}} smile as Domon destroys the core of the Devil Gundam.
* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn]]'', {{spoiler|1=Daguza Mackle enacts a plan that traps the Sinanju and gives Banagher an opportunity to activate the NT-D. After successfully trapping it in with Banagher (if only for a short while) and damaging its Search Eye, Full Frontal retaliates with a his shield-mounted beam saber, and Daguza uses what time he has left to turn to Banagher with a salute and a smile.}}
* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Age]]'', {{spoiler|Yurin}} bears a [[Tear Jerker|heartbreaking smile]] as she died.
* {{spoiler|Jonathan Joestar}} of Part I of ''[[
** {{spoiler|Jolyne}} from Part 6 smiles at Emporio before she faces off against Pucci one last time so Emporio can escape. {{spoiler|Then a page and a half later, [[Curb Stomp Battle|you see her getting ripped apart like tissue paper by Pucci's stand]]. All that remains is her stand's sunglasses, which quickly disintegrate under accelerated time.}}
** There's also {{spoiler|Ringo Roadagain}} in part 7. {{spoiler|He's smiling because he was able to awaken Gyro from being a conformist for society's ideals, to a pursuer of the "True Man's World"? The very thing Ringo was trying to get through his duels. [[Fridge Brilliance|Maybe getting Gyro to wake up to the True Man's World was how Ringo accessed the same?]] }}
Line 124:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Grave''' (to Harry)}}: "Let's go home."
{{spoiler|'''Mika'''}}: * smiling through {{spoiler|her}} tears* "I know now...that we're a family...and always will be, forever, and ever." }}
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''... well, it's not so much touching, but {{spoiler|Gauron}} did die with a ''very'' happy smile on his face. It was actually genuine, though, and [[Slasher Smile|not very pretty]]. Apparently his happiness came from causing as much pain as he could to [[The Masochism Tango|the one he loves]].
* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', this is both played straight and subverted. {{spoiler|Shion smiles (a sad one albeit) in Meakashi-hen when she is falling to her death and mentally promising to not repeat her mistakes; however, it quickly turned into shock when she neared the ground.}} Played straight with {{spoiler|Rena in Onikakushi-hen. She tries to give a delusional and paranoid Keiichi a [[Cooldown Hug|hug]], but is beaten to death.}}
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'': Following her [[Heroic Sacrifice]], Kisara smiles as she [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|is cradled in Seto's arms]] and reaches up to tenderly touch his face, just before falling limp.
