Saved by the Fans: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

But wait, what's this? The fans have begun clamouring for the character's return. The writers, either because they're moved by the dedication to the character or another reason, decide to grant the fans' wish and bring back the character. This is how a character gets saved by the fans.

When this happens to an entire franchise or show, it's been [[~~Un Cancelled~~]]. This may be because the fans told each other to [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]].

Compare with [[Breakout Character]]. May result in an [[Author's Saving Throw]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Jeremiah Gottwald from ''[[Code Geass]]'', who was originally meant to be killed off early in the series. However, he proved popular enough that the creators not only had him survive, but made him a more important character than originally intended.

* Abdul from ''[[~~Jo Jo~~'s ~~Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos~~ Bizarre Adventure]]'' is a subversion: {{spoiler|he got brought back only to be killed later}}.

* Abdul from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' is a subversion: {{spoiler|he got brought back only to be killed later}}.

* Grell in ''[[Black Butler]]'' only ever made one appearance in the manga (albeit an important one), but gained such fan support that she was brought back ''constantly'' in the anime and now she's in the musicals. Also, the girl came back in the recent zombie arc... and she's infatuated with "Seba" ("Seba-chan"), as usual.

* Priss from ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' was going to die in Episode 6 and be replaced by Vision, until the fans changed Artmic's mind.
