Together in Death: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', [[Unholy Matrimony|Shishio and Yumi]] plot to take over [[Hell]].

** In the (thankfully non-canon) OVA, ''Reflections'' {{spoiler|Kenshi and Kaoru end up dying together.}}

* {{spoiler|Claude, Hannah, and the Macken brothers (Luka ''and'' Alois/Jim) }} in ''[[Black Butler]]''.

* Subverted in the end of the ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' manga, as {{spoiler|Fujitaka does ''not'' need to die to see Nadeshiko again, since being one of the two reincarnations of Clow Reed (the other being Eriol) gives him the power to see her spirit.}}

* ''[[Windaria]]'' - {{spoiler|Alan's goal}} is to reunite with his true love in the afterlife. The opening shows his soul bird flying to the place hers went off to.

** Alas this is probably a good example of a [[Macekre]] in which there is no such bittersweet ending. The original ending was a subversion; Izu (Alan) {{spoiler|is given the chance to rejoin Marin/Marlin (Marie) and doesn't have the guts to go through with it, pulling himself back from the edge of the cliff Marin's spirit lead him to at the very last second. This leaves him, the broken betrayer, the only survivor at the end of the film.}}

{{quote|'''Ranma:''' Let go of my hand, babe!

'''Akane:''' I can't, honey!

* The "In Water" ending of ''[[Silent Hill 2]]''. It's not actually shown, but it is very heavily implied that James {{spoiler|puts his dead wife's body in his car and then drives into Toluca Lake, drowning himself so that they can be together again}}.

* Aeris and Zack in the Compilation of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.

* Heartbreaking aversion with Aribeth in ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]''. You find her in Hordes of the Underdark, trapped in the betrayer's circle of Hell, being psychologically tortured by her realization that she never really loved Fenthick in life.

* ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2|Mask of the Betrayer]]'' has an interesting take on this in one of its more bitterweet endings for female PCs: {{spoiler|If you choose to stay on the Fugue Plane (the underworld, more or less) in order to bind the spirit eater there, [[Flat Earth Atheist]] Gann will go as far as pledging his soul to the God of the Dead so that you won't have to be alone there. Neither of you are dead, just in Hell.}}

* In ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]],'' [[Never Say "Die"|of all]] [[Family-Friendly Firearms|things]], {{spoiler|Mysterio's lover is an actress who was disfigured. She kidnaps Mary Jane for a body-swap, but Mysterio's body-switching machine turns out to not actually work - and never had. He'd been trying to give her hope. When she discovers this, she activates the [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]] (okay, ''[[Fridge Logic|why on Earth]]'' does it have one of those?) because she'd rather die than not be beautiful. Spider-Man urges Mysterio to run, but Mysterio chooses to stay behind and die with her.}} No, they don't get better. In fact, though we still don't get the word "dead," there were none of the expected attempts to sweep it under the rug or make it [[Only Mostly Dead]] - it even gets referenced later on.

* Presumably this was the logic for {{spoiler|Nox [[Driven to Suicide|killing himself]] on his late family's grave}} in the season one finale of ''[[Wakfu]]''. With [[Dying Alone|no one to bury him]], [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|his remains are blown away by the wind]].

* At the end of the ''[[American Dad]]'' episode, "May the Best Stan Win", Stan and Francine are shown as skeletons in the same coffin.
