* A variation of this happens in the RPG (and, by extention, the novelisation of) ''[[Betrayal At Krondor]]''. At the end of the game, two dark elves, one a [[Noble Demon]]/[[Anti-Hero]] allied with the good guys and the other one of the multiple [[Big Bad|Big Bads]], are locked in combat over the Lifestone that traps the essences of the Valheru, an ancient race that had enslaved the world of Midkemia centuries ago. During the battle, both of them become possessed by the Valheru. Two mages - Pug, one of the greatest magicians in existence and Owyn, an apprentice magician and a close friend of Gorath, the 'good' dark elf - witness the scene. Pug realizes what's happening and tells Owyn that both dark elves must be killed in order to prevent the essences of the Valheru from escaping. Owyn is in desperate denial for a moment until Gorath yells at him to do it. ''"Save my people, Owyn! Save me!"'' Needless to say, heartwrenching events ensue.
* Invoked by Chris in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', where he's perfectly willing to let Sheva shoot through him if it means taking down [[Big Bad|Wesker]] in the process. Subverted though, in that Sheva doesn't shoot and instead opts to run up to the villain and slash him many, many times with her knife.
* You get this choice in ''[[Persona]]'' when a scientist tricks [[Big Bad|Guido]] into entering a machine that would kill them both. Of course, this is fairly early in the game, so [[But Thou Must!|your choice doesn't really matter]].
* In Ittosai's Good ending in ''[[Yo-Jin-Bo]]'', Sayori tells Ittosai to do this when Harumoto uses her as a [[Human Shield]], saying that if she has to die she wants it to be by Ittosai's hand instead of Harumoto's. Ittosai is fully prepared to go through with it - and then kill himself - but fortunately Harumoto gets impatient and tries to attack Ittosai, giving Ittosai an opening to kill him without hurting Sayori.
* Subverted in [[Halo]] 3, where Johnson, captured by Truth and being forced to light the rings tells Keyes to do this, in order to prevent the Halos from being fired. [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|Truth takes the oppertunity to Spiker her in the back]] and use Johnson to light the rings anyway.
