Line 29:
* In ''[[Forrest Gump]]'', Forrest and Bubba. After Bubba's death, Forrest fulfills his friend's lifelong dream by buying a shrimping boat.
* Several [[John Woo]] films

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* [[Supernatural (TV series)|Sam and Dean Winchester]] manage to do this to one another ''multiple times''. Dean is the ruling champion, but if it weren't for Sam's first major death the whole plot from the beginning of season three onward would not exist in any recognizable form.
** [[Deal
*** Dean's 101 deaths during one season three episode hit Sam pretty hard, too, especially the one that last six months before the bastard undid it. And hence the title of reigning champion. Also the fact that he stayed dead the longest.
**** Sam may have been ''resurrected'' quickly after the season five finale, but his ''soul'' stayed in Hell for over a year.
** And as of the end of Season 6, it looks as though Dean and Castiel are headed in this direction.

* ''[[The Bible]]'' - David and Jonathan
* ''[[
* Landon Parke-Laine and Anton Next in the ''[[Thursday Next]]'' series. Especially tragic because Landon's testimony in the investigation of the events that killed Anton turned Anton's name to mud for all history.
* [[Sherlock Holmes]] and Watson, when Holmes apparently dies in ''The Final Problem''. Luckily, [[He's Just Hiding|he was just hiding]].
Line 76:
** Only touched upon in flashbacks during the game, but elaborated in other entries of the franchise such as ''[[Last Order]]'', ''[[Crisis Core]]'', and ''[[Advent Children]]''.
* ''[[Persona 3]]'' - Shinjiro's [[Wham! Episode|death]], from Akihiko's point of view. [[Bonus Points]] for the allusion to Castor and Pollux (see Mythology).
* Solid Snake and Gray Fox in ''Metal Gear 2'', but [[Revision|properly explored]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', where it's shown Fox's death has broken Snake's heart when Fox [[Came Back Wrong|Comes Back Wrong]] as a cyborg [[Stalker
