Kill the God: Difference between revisions

(→‎Music: added examples)
Line 15:
* ''[[Bleach]]'' gets this pretty easily, considering the Soul Reapers are considered [[A God Am I|Death Gods]] by their own submission. {{spoiler|Aizen, on the other hand, was so ridiculously powerful and ranting about his godhood that the final set of chapters leading to his defeat is ''actually called'' Deicide.}}
* In ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', Lady Eboshi kills the forest spirit, which is a sort of [[Physical God]]. The results, however, aren't quite what she intended.
* An extremely difficult proposition in [[Saint Seiya]], as the gods (with the exception of Eris in the first OVA) are really powerful, but possible with the right means. The real problem is getting them to STAY''stay'' dead: Poseidon apparently died millennia before the series, but still managed to operate as a spirit and by [[Grand Theft Me]].
* A variation occurs in ''[[Code Geass]]''. {{spoiler|Emperor Charles}} and {{spoiler|his brother, V.V.}}, having lost their parents to the machinations of their [[Deadly Decadent Court]], promised each other as children that if there was a god that made people fight and scheme against each other for power, they would kill him. By the time they are older and in a position to put their plan into action, their understanding of the situation has sufficiently evolved that they're no longer trying to ''kill'' the "god" they have discovered, but they are planning to ''use'' it to {{spoiler|enact an [[Assimilation Plot]] where all human consciousness, past and present, will unite so the fighting will stop and the dead will return.}}
* Since the gods' powers are sealed in ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'', killing one is as easy as pushing him or her off a ledge, or running a sword through the god's heart... and it's shown to have happened more than once. The god doesn't actually die, but is sent to (the setting's very boring) Heaven with no way to return to the (interesting) Lower Realms.
