Line 41:
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has at least one example of a self-admitted stupid sacrifice: {{spoiler|Lockon Stratos (Neil)}} towards the end of season 1. He is very much aware he is stupid and selfish and should NOT do what he does but does it anyways, quite ready to die in the process. In season 2 {{spoiler|Patrick pulls a rather heroic one throwing himself in front of a suicide MS instead of shooting at it. But being the Immortal Colasour be probably knew he was going to make it.}}
* A non-fatal example from ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'' where Tabitha's mother realised that the glass of wine that had been handed to her daughter was poisoned with a poison that would make her insane, so she snatched it out of Tabitha's hands in the nick of time- and ''drank it!''
* Early on in ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'', [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Lou]]'s father stays behind in his robot to fight a [[Monster of the Week|Memesis Beast]] who invaded their space station. According to him, it's his duty to protect the crew, who were almost certainly all dead or evacuated by then, and the station itself, which ends up crashing to Earth later on in the episode anyway. This later on inspires Lou to start a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against all of the species, putting herself into constant danger as a result. Great parenting, dude.
* Nuriko, unfortunately, did this in ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''. After getting seriously injured in his fight with Ashitare, Nuriko decided to move the boulder that had fallen over the entrance to where the Shentso-Pao was. Doing so, however, worsened his injuries and caused him to die...right as all his friends, including one ''who has healing powers'', arrive to see what happened. Miaka even laments "If only he'd have waited for Mitsukake to get here!". It obviously wasn't intended to be an example, but it was, in that he ''could'' have waited for his friends to get there before moving the boulder.
:It's also stupid for another reason: the boulder ''wasn't'' blocking the entrance. When the boulder is actually shown, there's clearly enough room for someone to walk around it. When the Seishi get inside, there are skeletons of dead thieves who were killed {{spoiler|by Hikitsu and Tomite}} who presumably did exactly that!
