* Happens too many times to count - [[What an Idiot!|and too many times to tolerate]] - in ''[[Bleach]]''. If any of the villains had ever had the good sense to cut off the loser's head, the series would be over around episode ten. But no, they always just walk away satisfied that the point was proven.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
*** Closer to the trope, Haven's leadership as a whole has a colossal backfire from this when not only does Honor come back, but comes back after they broadcast her faked execution over every major network. It's hard to say whether the people she rescued or her own survival hurt Haven more.
* In the novel ''Relentless'', Morgan's lover Payton pushed her out of the way of a cave in. Unable to find help or to free him on her own, she held his hand until [[He's Dead, Jim|it went cold]], and then left. When he shows up years later {{spoiler|as The Thresher}}, she is understandably astonished, and he, of course, resentful that she didn't try hard enough to save him.
* This happends quite a bit across the enitre ''[[Dune]]'' series, though most notable when [[The Hero|Paul]] and [[Action Mom|Jessica]] are left for dead after flying right into a storm that was meant to [[

* In the ''[[Lost]]'' season 4 finale, the Others, who really ought to know better, leave {{spoiler|Keamy for dead, not taking into account the body armor he's wearing.}}
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'' - ''Born Under A Bad Sign'', if [[Demonic Possession|Meg!Sam]] had actually checked that Dean had actually drowned instead of checking and then leaving, s/he could have enjoyed Sam's body for a hell of a lot longer.
Line 111 ⟶ 110:
* In ''[[Corpse Bride]]'', the title character actually died after being Left for Dead. It's not really an aversion, though, given that she still manages to be a main character and all.
* In ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]'' Modula was genuinely believed dead by the king, but Modula considers it abandonment.
* In ''[[Shrek the Third]]'', Prince Charming seems to perish in the end, smashed flat when Dragon knocks an entire tower over that falls on him. But it seems he somehow survived, as he appears briefly at the end of the ''Thriller Night'' short.
