Line 9:
Obviously, to be brought back from the dead somebody has to have already been dead, so this is technically a [[Death Trope]]. This means there are unmarked spoilers below, so tread at your own risk.

Line 29:
* [[Fullmetal Alchemist]]: {{spoiler|Ed and Al's mother}} in the anime. She didn't want to come back to life and decided murdering {{spoiler|them}} for revenge was the only way to make up for this.
** Of coure, {{spoiler|it may not have actually been their mother}}.
* [[Dragonball Z]] non-serial movie : [[Sealed Good in A Can]] hero Tapion gets freed from a magical music box sealing him, thanks to the titular dragon balls, and to say he isn't pleased is an understatement. Turns out he holds [[Sealed Evil in A Can]] in himself, in the form of a horrible monster with enough power to wreak havoc on the universe. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] for the good guys who helped the weird little old guy free him.
Line 77:
** OF course "came back from the dead", here, means {{spoiler|returned after faking a suicide note and running away because he didn't know what it meant to be a "real prosecutor" and wanted to do some soul searching.}} It sort of changes the context.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' 4, Solid Snake wasn't exactly pleased to see {{spoiler|Big Boss}} alive again. But he did feel kind of sorry for him.
* A major point in ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'''s [[Big Bad]]'s plot is the resurrection of his sister- a double take of this trope: Not only do all the forces of good not want her back (Even her fiance, [[Turncoat|Yuan]]), but for the brief moment when she does come back, she merely hands her brother the [[What the Hell, Hero?]] treatment he deserves, and then is relieved to go back to being dead.
* Karurawaturei, princess of the Giryagina clan in [[Utawarerumono]] went missing ten~ years or so ago or more when her country underwent a civil war, leading to the near extermination of her clan. Her brother assumed she was dead, and she was fine with that. However, she's forced to return because she still cares about her people, revealing that she's still alive and well. After the war is over and her brother put in charge, she vanishes again so she can return to living a simpler life.
* [[Planescape Torment]] - By roughly halfway through the game, at least, this is the Nameless One's opinion of having been seperated from his mortality. Even discovering that his first incarnation committed deeds of such hideousness that an eternity doing good would not have spared him from the Blood War, he never contemplates not taking his mortality back and ending his inability to die. Granted, though, he pays a considerable price for his resurrection; he invariably draws tormented souls to himself, and, more darkly, whenever he is resurrected, someone elsewhere in the multiverse dies and becomes an undead shadow as their life is sucked away to fuel his resurrection.
