Line 82:
* A weird inversion of [[Never Found the Body]] has lead many to believe that {{spoiler|Minamimoto}} from ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' survived. The things is that Reapers normally ''don't'' leave bodies, but they found {{spoiler|his}}.
* In ''[[Advance Wars]]: Dual Strike'', the deaths of {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Von Bolt]] and [[Taking You with Me|Hawke]]}} do this. It's certainly implied enough that {{spoiler|Hawke}} survived, but {{spoiler|Von Bolt}}'s survival is ambiguous.
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' had the Toughs' former medic Dr. Todd ("Lazarus") Lazkowicz die of a low-caliber headshot, after which his body was packed into a "coffinpedo" and fired at the nearest star. Then we discover he was a fugitive UNS researcher. Then we discover he performed [[Brain Uploading]] into a cryokit, which requires not only ability to heavily and illegally modify low-grade AI (possibly more complex than that of a torpedo variant ''not'' intended for combat at relativistic velocities in heavy countermeasures), but actually having a nanobot interface in his brain. And the "magical cryokit" is capable of administering secret extreme and subtle augmentations. Then we discover his job was doing exactly this as a part of immortality-via-brain-backup project. Then get to see a man using augmentations from "magical cryokit" revived several times after fatal injuries and another using one of the products derived from that project (far more limited than the cryokit's weaponized version) was alive and kicking after a headshot in a few minutes… Of course, he ''could'' opt for "do not resuscitate", but at which point did this hit "[[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!]]" mark?
