Line 78:
** [[Lobo]] is the last Czarnian, [[Where I Was Born and Razed|and a mockery of the trope in general]] (in the comics, he <s>killed</s> fragged all the other Czarnians on a whim; in the [[DCAU]], he [[Earthshattering Kaboom|blew up the planet for his high school science project]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|gave himself an "A"]]). Not that anybody ever considers it tragic.
*** Not necessarily "on a whim": he specifically wanted to be the last Czarnian. So much so that when another living Czarnian turns up later, Vril Dox (the one person Lobo will actually listen to) knows he'll find it particularly galling to be ordered to keep her alive until she gets to someplace safe. {{spoiler|Lobo complies and then, as soon as Dox confirms that he completed his mission, kills her.}}
** [[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]] member Element Lad is the last survivor of the Trommite race, the others having been slaughtered either by pirates or genocidal superbeings, depending on which continuity you're working in.
** Another Legionnaire, Blok, is the last survivor of the planet Dryad.
** And, for a while, Kyle Rayner was the last Green Lantern.
Line 97:
* Similarly to the Bleach example above,''[[The Last Samurai]]'' had Katsumoto as the last leader of the samurai class, while Tom Cruise's character is {{spoiler|an "adopted samurai" and the only survivor of Katsumoto's army's last stand. Also, many of the samurai (including Katsumoto) had sons and grandsons who were trained as swordsmen...}}.
* The title character from [[Omega the Unknown]], who was created by a race of aliens to be the perfect [[Ubermensch]].
* In ''[[Lucifer (Comic Bookcomics)|Lucifer]]'', The Silk Man is both the last survivor of his species ([[Eldritch Abomination|whatever the hell that was]]) and, as with Galactus above, the last survivor of an entire lost Creation.
* The Last [[The Metabarons|Metabaron]], voluntarily.
 
Line 288:
*** Talking to the survivors of her hometown reveals that they're also summoners, although they don't have much hope for the tradition's survival.
** Garnet and Eiko in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' are the last two summoners during the events of the game.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings]]'', {{spoiler|the Judge of Wings}} becomes this... {{spoiler|by killing off the rest of her race.}}
** Also, in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', Strago is the last Blue Mage, and Terra is all that remains of the Espers. After the breaking of the world Mog appears to be the last remaining moogle.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', Seymour kills almost the entire Ronso tribe, making Kimahri one of the last Ronso. However, there are still a few left, like the Ronso Blitzball Team. The [[Lighter and Softer]] [[Final Fantasy X 2|Final Fantasy X-2]] reveals that a good amount of Ronso survived Seymour's slaughter, so they'll probably be fine.
Line 316:
* Both the hero and the [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Future Tools of Destruction]]'' are the last of their respective races. ({{spoiler|Or at least in this universe...}}
* In ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'', Adell is the only remaining human on Veldime, with all others being turned into amnesiac demons by Zenon's curse. {{spoiler|[[There Is Another|Is there another human?]] Nope. In fact, there isn't even ''one''. Adell wasn't affected by the curse because he is a pureblood demon by birth.}}
* In ''[[Rhapsody: aA Musical Adventure]]'' protagonist Cornets mother presumably was the last pure blood of her kind.
* In ''[[Jade Empire]]'', the protagonist is the last Spirit Monk.
* Yoshimitsu from ''[[Soul Calibur]]'', was the last of his Manji Clan in his backstory, until {{spoiler|He brought some local ruffians and formed a new clan, called the Manjitou clan, in homage to his old clan. Technically, he was the last true Manji, so his new clan does not count}}. He's really a dumbed down version of [[Last of His Kind]], since he's not a completely different race. Being last true clansman, he is the only person who knows Manji Ninjitsu, ''and'' how to forge the weapons of his clan, so he is also an owner of Forgotten Knowledge.
