Line 6:
In that last movie you watched, or the last game you played, there're maybe some epic and great battles between two or more characters fighting to the death and one of them seems to be on his last leg, or maybe one of them seems to about to die by being poisoned by something, or maybe they're about to fall of a cliff and hit the ground below, or maybe they're about to crash in the middle of a carchase. Whatever the case, you know that they'll survive because if they die, the fictional works that takes place chronologically after wouldn't be able to exist in the first place then.
This trope usually exist in prequels and [[Interquel|Interquels]]. In them, characters from the original material usually appears on their younger ages, and like the new characters, they usually are forced to fight deadly battles against the enemy, and many of those battles are as nasty and brutal as they come, and many of them seems to result with the old characters dying and the villain laughing his ass off in triumph. But you know that whatever convincing they may try to make it look like, they're still alive and will not die since if they did die, the original stories that came first may end up with the [[Canon
Constast [[Doomed by Canon]], when the characters are going to die no matter what because the original works said they died some time before the story takes place.

== Video Games ==
* Since ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' takes place ten years before the first game, you know that most of the bosses will survive after you defeated them, especially Maleficent and Xehanort.
* In ''[[The Force Unleashed]]'', you already knew that neither Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine would die in their duels with Galen Marek, or that none of the rebel leaders would be executed by the Imperials since the game takes place two-six years before the original trilogy.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'': ''[[Crisis Core]]'', Sephiroth, Aeris and Cloud are gonna survive no matter what, since if they died, then it means that the series' most successful game well might not have existed in the first place. {{spoiler|Zack}} however is [[Doomed by Canon]].
