Just to make sure that the hero can't [[Refusal of the Call|refuse the call of destiny]], [[Friendly Target|his family or loved ones]] [[Too Happy to Live|will be brutally murdered by the enemy]] to drive home the point that [[You Can't Fight Fate|he can't run away]] from his life mission.

Line 14:
Related to and sometimes overlaps with [[Death By Origin Story]]. The [[Forgotten Fallen Friend]] is the name of the trope where, after the hero starts the adventure, he or she gets over the deaths with [[Angst? What Angst?|remarkable aplomb]]. May be referenced in a [[Troubled Backstory Flashback]]. Contrast with [[Plot Detour]].
