Line 40:
* Chun-Li's father is still alive (albeit hospitalized and in a coma) the last time we see him in ''[[Street Fighter]] II V''.
* In ''[[Breath of Fire]] IV'' Fou-lu either is absorbed into or absorbs Ryu in a [[Split Personality Merge]] in the original video game (depending on which of the [[Multiple Endings]] one ultimately selects). The manga adaptation went for a [[Third Option Adaptation]] {{spoiler|which not only managed to incorporate ''both'' the Bad and Good Ends but ultimately ended with a failed [[Split Personality Merge]] and Fou-lu's ultimate survival (if in a [[Brought Down to Normal]] state).}} [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]], [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe|yea and verily]].
** There is quite a lot of [[Wild Mass Guessing]] as to why this is the case--onecase—one persistent rumour is that the manga was deliberately set up for either a video-game or manga sequel to ''[[Breath of Fire]] IV'' (especially considering that Capcom is talking of reviving the franchise and directed the [[Comic Book Adaptation]] in the first place). This would fit with the other, rather extensive changes made to the manga's end--whichend—which, up till that point, largely followed the plot of the game save for some [[All There in the Manual]] stuff from the artbook that was included in the manga.
* Professor Tomoe in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' was killed in the manga, but saved in the anime (where he's just possessed). Since the next storyline required having Sailors Uranus and Neptune raising his daughter, he was quickly [[Put on a Bus]] at the start of the next season.
** This also happens to the Ayakashi Sisters, the Amazon Trio (sort of...they become souls/dreams/some sort of spiritual light and go to Elysian rather than die outright), Queen Nehelenia and Sailor Galaxia. All of them are either purified or brought to [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]]s by [[The Messiah|Sailor Moon.]]
** {{spoiler|Prince Diamond}} dies in the manga ''and'' the anime, but lives in the Musicals.
** Nephrite in the live action show ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]''.

== Video Games ==
* A number of [[Video Game Remake|Video Game Remakes]]s and [[Updated Rerelease|Updated Rereleases]]s include a sidequest or [[One Hundred Percent Completion]] feature that allow you to save a popular character who was [[Doomed by Canon]] in the original game (usually in cases where the death was meaningless to the plot, and sometimes they even allow you to change the plot entirely by saving the character, giving you an entirely different endgame).
** Among the characters who died in the original version of ''[[Persona 3]]'' were {{spoiler|Chidori and Shinjiro}}, both of whom developed [[Ensemble Darkhorse|strong fan followings]]. When the game was remade as Persona 3: FES, a sidequest was added to allow you to save the former, then when the game was remade ''again'' for the PSP, ''another'' sidequest was added to save the latter. The frustrating thing is that both of these are pure [[Guide Dang It]] and the latter is only possible if you chose the female main character, so it's [[Lost Forever|missable]] from the ''very first choice in the game''.
** The remake of ''[[Dragon Quest 4]]'' gives you the option of redeeming and recruiting Saro, the [[Tragic Villain]] [[Big Bad]], and joining forces to fight [[The Starscream]] who was ''really'' responsible for the whole damn mess.
