== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Dragon Ball|Goku]]'': onesGoku upone-ups the other examples by not only leaving behind a kid after his ([[Death Is Cheap|second]]) [[Heroic Sacrifice]], but leaving behind a kid that's ''[[Strong Family Resemblance|completely]] [[Expy|identical]]'' to him.
* After {{spoiler|Asuma}} dies in ''[[Naruto]]'', {{spoiler|Kurenai}}, hinted to be having a relationship with, is revealed as very, ''very'' pregnant.
* Happens at the end of ''[[Narutaru]]''. There's a bit of [[Art Major Biology]] in there, since the father concieved the kid while dying of radiation sickness from having a tac-nuke dropped on him.
Line 24:
* Possibly ''[[Inverted Trope|inverted]]'' in the backstory of ''[[AIR]]'' when {{spoiler|Ryuuya finds out he is slowly dying of a curse. Uraha suggests that the only way he can work to save the soul of their beloved Kanna is for him to leave a line of descendants to do it for him and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|offers herself to be the mother of his child]]. He dies when she is heavily pregnant and their child becomes the ancestor of the series' main character Yukito.}}
* {{spoiler|Mine Kujyou}} discovers she is pregnant by {{spoiler|Shuro (a.k.a. Akiba)}} at the very end of ''[[Eternal Sabbath]]'', after {{spoiler|Shuro has died in the final battle with Isaac}}.
* ''Kinda'' what happens to Hayate after ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha AsA's]]''. Following the [[Heroic Sacrifice]]-slash-[[Suicide by Cop]] of {{spoiler|Reinforce (a magical [[Robot Girl]])}}, she creates {{spoiler|Reinforce Zwei (a smaller magical [[Robot Girl]] who looks a lot like the original)}}. The thing is, she ostensibly refers to the latter being "born" from her Linker Core (magical heart of sorts) after it merged with the former's Linker Core, in order to live the life the former wished for. In other words, we have here an example of [[Science Babies|technological]] [[Homosexual Reproduction|lesbian procreation]] for [[Invoked Trope|the sake of this trope]]. Yes, it's weird like that.
* Happens in the little-known anime movie ''Like The Clouds, Like the Wind''. It's an especially sad example since the male member of the couple kills himself soon after having sex with his wife for the first time.
* {{spoiler|Marbette}} from ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam]]'', {{spoiler|who goes from [[Action Girl]] to [[Pregnant Badass]]... and we find out about this a while after the baby's father, [[Team Dad]] Oliver, has perished in an [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}
* Happens a couple of times in ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]''.:
** One memorable episode was about the vengeful girlfriend of a criminal Leon killed in the line of duty. D manages to break the cycle of revenge by appealing to her that she did not want her unborn child's mother to be a murderer.
** A second, much darker version occurs in ''Pet Shop Of Horrors: Tokyo''. A woman's dead boyfriend is temporarily brought back to spend O-bon with her on the one-year anniversary of his death. At the end, he prepares to return to the land of the dead, but she is unwilling to let him go. She is found a week later in her apartment with the rotting corpse of her boyfriend... and now pregnant.
* Gender-flipped in ''[[Nicoichi]]'', when the main protagonist adopted the son of his single mother girlfriend, who had passed away after being involved in a traffic accident. This act became the [[Plot-Triggering Death|trigger for the plot]] of the series.
