See also [[It's All Junk]], a very similar trope relating to the destruction of objects.

== Anime
* ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' Really, all of these are up to anybody's guess, but {{spoiler|Kaworu's death possibly represents the death of Shinji's sanity, Asuka's death could mean the death of Shinji's hope, Misato's death could represent the death of Shinji's love (Gendou might count), and the god-like Rei's death at the end is symbolic of who knows what.}} This movie is virtually the definition of Mind Screw, so you may have a different interpretation.
* Slightly more literal in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' - the characters ''are'' the nations, so the death of a character is the fall of a nation (e.g. Rome). If the nation gets into dire straits (economic crisis, social strife etc.), the nation gets sick.
