Line 327:
* The upcoming [[Play Station 3]] exclusive ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' will feature permanent death, even making it possible to have a standard ending with all of the playable characters dying.
** Funnily enough, two of the characters have [[Plot Armour]] that doesn't come off until endgame. Those two are Ethan - who can be killed by the police or commit suicide - and Shelby - who dies either by getting shoved into a grinder by Jayden, shot by Jayden/Ethan/Lauren or impaled by Madison.
* After being an immortal villain for almost the entire series up until ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', Albert Wesker turned into a monster and was finally -according to [[Word of God]]- [https://web.archive.org/web/20120403043251/http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006931p1.html killed for good]. Word of God ''also'' said ''[[Resident Evil]]'' would definitely [[Flip-Flop of God|never come back to the Playstation]], so make of that what you will.
* In ''[[The World Ends With You]]'', all the Players are already dead and are playing the Reaper's Game to win another chance at life. However, Players erased by the Noise are killed off permanently and their entry fee is lost forever. Notable victims of Erasure include Rhyme in the first week (she recovers though), Sota and Nao in the second (as well as that Reaper)) and all three Game Masters (Sho also gets recovers) as well as Megumi.
* In the ''[[Suikoden]]'' series, your characters may randomly die for real if defeated in a large-scale war battle.

* ''[[W.I.T.C.H. (TV series)|W.I.T.C.H.]]'' killed off quite a few of the lesser villains, such as Tridart and Ember being disposed of by Nerissa when they were no longer needed. In the finale, Tracker is also subsequently impaled and killed.
* Thanks to [[Media Watchdogs]] and the cultural osmosis of [[Back from the Dead|a certain comic book trope]], being Killed Off for Real in American children's programming is so rare, it's hard for some to grasp. Jet's fate on ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', despite being tragically obvious, was surrounded by [[He's Just Hiding|speculation]] that he somehow survived. They just don't do that in kids' shows! [https://web.archive.org/web/20090527154212/http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=40634&type=0 A SciFi.com interview with the program's creators], however, has confirmed this character was indeed Killed Off for Real.
** In the third season, Combustion Man is also Killed Off For Real.
** Yue in the first season finale. An odd one, as the excuse for Jet's death not being shown was that the network wouldn't let them show a kid die onscreen - but Yue's death ''was'' onscreen, and she was the same age. It ''might'' be because Jet's was a violent death, while Yue's looked more like she fell asleep, and she was shown becoming the Moon Spirit immediately after, while Jet was just dead.
