Since this is a death trope, it will include some spoilers
{{examples
== Anime & Manga ==
Line 21:
* This happens to {{spoiler|Shiva}} in [[Saint Beast|Saint Beast: Seijuu Kourin Hen]].
* Essentially the ''premise'' of ''[[Hell Girl]]''. In exchange for their souls at death, people can have those who wronged them immediately dragged to Hell.
* This is the fate of who ever looks behind in [[Jo
* Losing a [[Bakugan]] Brawl when a Doom Card is in play automatically results in being sucked into the Doom Dimension for the unlucky Bakugan that loses, which is pretty much the Bakugan Hell. Thankfully, the Brawlers when a bet that allows all the Bakugan sent there to be set free after being sent there themselves. According to [[Word of God]], this happened to [[Big Bad|Naga]] when he was defeated, though we don't see it.
* Although she doesn't die, Miko's sister Miyu is kidnapped by demons in ''[[La Blue Girl]]'' because they believe her to be the princess (because Miko wore her panties, so she has Miko's scent all over her lady parts.) Miko has to go rescue her from the [[Hell|Shikima Realm]] and its [[Horny Devils]].
Line 30:
* Depending on your interpretation, this may be the final fate of the eponymous ''[[Cerebus the Aardvark]]''.
* Anton Arcane's most despicable act in ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' is {{spoiler|condemning his own niece, Abby, to this horrible fate}}.
* The villains in the [[Tintin (Comic Book)]] story ''The Broken Ear'' are dragged off to hell after drowning.
* The final fate of Palpatine in ''[[Dark Empire]]''. Having cheated death by [[Body Surf|Body Surfing]], he is finally defeated when the Force Ghost of a Jedi grabs his spirit and departs for the afterlife.
* A more mundane variant in ''[[BPRD]]'' in that there's no dimensional transfer, but after Katha-Hem is destroyed {{spoiler|Pope}} is dragged off by the frogs, servants of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Ogdru-Hem]]. When he's next seen he no longer has any desire but to serve them, and may no longer be human.
Line 68:
* ''[[Sandman Slim]]'' deals with a sorcerer who had this happen to him when he was betrayed by his cabal. The first book opens [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|just as he gets out]].
* This is the fate The Hunter in the ''[[Coldfire Trilogy]]'' is trying to avoid.
** He actually started out as a Prophet, but since in this setting [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|belief becomes reality,]] getting excommunicated from his own church and slandered as the Antichrist was [[Fate Worse Than Death|very, very bad news for him.]] To avoid this fate he made a [[Deal With the Devil]] with "The [[Eldritch Abomination|Unnamed,]]" which would grant him immortality so long as he served them with evil. Then in the second book he [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|screwed up by performing a selfless act of good,]] and... well. [[Knight Templar|Damien]] has to go and get him back.
* In ''[[Neverwhere]]'' this befalls {{spoiler|Islington, Croup and Vandemar}} thanks to a clever switcheroo that prevents a door to heaven from being opened properly, making it a door to hell instead.
Line 112:
* Domino Hurley in ''[[Grim Fandango]]''. He's not dragged down personally, but the train he's riding is.
* In ''[[Theme Hospital]]'', when a patient dies, they either float up to heaven as angels, or the ground opens up beneath them and they sink in a fiery pit.
* [[Word of God|Canonically]], this is what [[Street Fighter|Akuma/Gouki's]] Shun Goku Satsu move does: pulls both him and his victim to the underworld, where they're set upon by demons based on how evil their souls are. For a guy like [[Big Bad|Bison/Vega]], it's pretty much a [[One
* In ''[[Gauntlet]]: Dark Legacy'', many of the boss fights end with a defeated boss being dragged off by ''something''. The Lich is probably closest to the literal trope.
* Kratos's death at the start of ''[[God of War (Video Game)|God of War]] II''. He gets better.
Line 123:

* Seth in ''[[Narbonic]]''.
* Lich in ''[[
