Line 16:
* In [[Dragonball Z]] During the ''Android Saga'', Trunks goes back in time to give Goku the antidote to a heart virus he had originally died from to hopefully save the world from the androids. Goku still ends up dying, but the world is saved this time.
* The current (and likely final) arc in [[Naruto]] is being fought to protect both Naruto and Killer Bee from from having their tail-beast extracted by the [[Big Bad]] Tobi/Madara.
* ''[[King of Thorn]]'': Done subversively and surreptitiously in the manga—where everyone rallies to protect Kasumi, {{spoiler|(who is in fact, Medusa) throughout the entire manga series. Their actions are mainly due to a directive imprinted in their minds by the Big Bad: ''"protect the small Japanese girl with your life"''.}} Most of them weren't even aware they were doing it. Of course, the bad guy wanted to reshape the entire world, not save it, so...
Line 62:
** This is subverted in the end of the game: {{spoiler|it is revealed that said individuals' descendants were responsible for developing technology that fell in the wrong hands and was used to create a bio-weapon that devastated the world's population. The group opposing you is actually a future incarnation of your organization that decided to forgo their "Don't change history rule" to prevent the disaster}}.
* Subverted in ''[[Final Fantasy Dissidia]]'': After {{spoiler|Cosmos, guide to the protagonists,}} dies, the heroes still manage to gather up some [[Heroic Resolve]] and continue on with their mission.
* Done in ''[[
* You, in ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' and its sequel in what is probably the most extreme that [[We Cannot Go on Without You]] has ever been taken to.
* Not all that overt, but in ''[[Devil Survivor]]'', the entire possibility of saving humanity hinges on {{spoiler|the suicidally-depressed singer Haru}}. Fail to save them, and you're locked out of the vast majority of the [[Multiple Endings]], and in all likelihood stuck on the worst path of the lot.
