Line 4:
Perhaps the [[Ensemble Darkhorse|popular]] [[Anti-Hero]] was [[Left for Dead]] in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] [[No One Could Survive That|that no one could survive]], but since they [[Never Found the Body]], and he already had a penchant for [[Faking the Dead]], their survival [[Sorting Algorithm of Deadness|isn't so far fetched.]]
Basically, any time an author leaves the door ajar on a character's death to [[First Law of Resurrection|later bring them back]] [[Staying Alive|plausibly]] if [[Schrodinger's Gun|the plot requires it]]. May be due to
See also the [[Wild Mass Guessing]] [[Sorting Algorithm of Deadness/WMG|Sorting Algorithm of Deadness]] for the odds of some characters returning.
Line 41:
** Shaak Ti is in the same situation. Her established history of cheating death (her death was intended to happen 2 or 3 times previously to this) doesn't hurt either.
** [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|K'kruhk]] is even worse. He later [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it:

'''K'kruhk:''' ''"I died so many times before... [[Healing Factor|at least]] [[Or So I Heard|that's what I heard]]."'' }}
* Spock's death in ''[[Star Trek]] II'' was made non-permanent by a tiny little mind-meld with an unconscious McCoy.

''Sokka:'' It's a bit unclear. }}
* ''[[Beast Wars]].'' Very few "dead" characters suffered more damage than surviving ones who were tossed into a CR chamber and popped out just fine. Except for {{spoiler|Dinobot, and maybe Tigerhawk if he was completely vaporized}}, there's not one of them who wouldn't be just fine if someone were to find them and fix them up. In the comics, it's ''already'' happened to Ravage. {{spoiler|The second Dinobot is even ''last seen on a ship that is going down,'' which is shorthand for "just wait three episodes or so" in cartoon-land. There just... weren't any more episodes.}}
