So you're watching a movie or TV show, and a formerly beautiful character gets injured in some way that makes them... probably still beautiful; this is Hollywood we are talking about after all... but have some kind of unattractive disfigurement. Common examples are losing a limb or receiving severe burns in a universe where that means permanent disfigurement. At this point, it's a pretty safe bet that that character is doomed. This isn't simple cause and effect: the character isn't usually killed by his injuries, either directly or indirectly. The injuries are just a sign that something else is going to pop up and kill him. In general, if the disfigurement looks like it would be expensive or time-consuming to replicate every week, odds are they're not going to. This is usually because while death is relatively common in fiction, having to live the rest of your life disabled or as a "freak" is seen as a Fate Worse than Death fit only for the worst of villains. (In fact, even with villains, receiving a disfiguring mark from the hero is a sign that the fight is just about over.) Sometimes, this is subverted with An Aesop about how life is worth living in spite of disfigurement. And because this is Hollywood, getting over disfigurement and accepting to live one's life regardless is almost always applied to males. Due to the Beauty Is Never Tarnished rule, disfigured women will most likely commit suicide (especially if the damage is really severe) or seek plastic surgery if they can afford it. Because, as anybody knows, a woman who is no longer young and beautiful is of no use to the plot... Therefore, women who get this treatment and remain alive will almost always be villainesses. Sometimes "justified" by the person saying I Will Only Slow You Down. Basically, the far less laughable equivalent of Amusing Injuries. Related to Bury Your Disabled, Beauty Is Never Tarnished, Beauty to Beast and Bullet-Proof Fashion Plate. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In the original book version of Dangerous Liaisons, after her plots and manipulations are revealed, the Marquise de Merteuil is reported to have contracted smallpox that left her with severe facial scarring. Apart from this being a Fate Worse than Death, this should be understood as a physical manifestation of her evilness and humiliation. | |

In The Shape of Water, another Guillermo del Toro film, has the main antagonist Richard Strickland losing two fingers of his left hand right at the start of the movie. While he seeks to get them reattached, the graft is unsuccessful and they keep literally rotting for the whole film. When he loses them altogether, the Asset (the one biting off his fingers earlier) is ready to furtherly reward his evil deeds by killing him. | |

Inverted in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: George Weasley gets a disfiguring injury (he loses his ear in such a way that it can't be restored by magic), but survives; it's his identical twin Fred who ends up biting it. Hard not to think Rowling was deliberately avoiding playing this straight. Played straight with Dumbledore; his right hand is shriveled and unusable at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and he dies at the end of it. Justified in that the curse on his hand would soon kill him anyway, so he let himself die for the sake of continuing The Plan and saving Harry. |

Samurai Jack vs. Afro Samurai has this happen in a case of mutual disfigurement. During the climax of the fight, a Single-Stroke Battle results in Jack losing his right arm at the shoulder and Afro losing both arms at the elbow and getting a massive, bloody slash across his chest. After both samurai scream in agony, Jack rises to his feet, approaches Afro, and slices him into at least six more pieces with his remaining arm in a fit of raw fury. | |

As a general rule of thumb, if a character loses or breaks a limb during a DEATH BATTLE! without a Healing Factor or some other way to immediately reattach or otherwise fix it, they're about to die. In fact, it'd be significantly shorter to list the times that this is subverted: Wolverine vs. Raiden: Wolverine, after activating his Berserker Rage, slashes off one of Raiden's arms. Raiden manages to kill Wolverine with his remaining arm after entering his Ripper Mode and lopping his head off with his High-Frequency Murasama Blade. In a case of this happening to a Humongous Mecha, Power Rangers vs. Voltron Lion Force, Voltron loses the Red Lion (which made up one of Voltron's arms) when Lance pilots his mecha to block a frozen Green Lion from an attack from the Megazord's Power Sword. The Lion Force eventually slashes the Megazord in half with their Blazing Sword. Sub-Zero vs. Glacius: Sub-Zero has one of his hands melted off when a Punch Parry goes wrong and Glacius attempts to dissolve him with his Liquid Form. Sub-Zero manages to escape with an Ice Klone teleportation and rips out Glacius's spine. Samurai Jack vs. Afro Samurai has this happen in a case of mutual disfigurement. During the climax of the fight, a Single-Stroke Battle results in Jack losing his right arm at the shoulder and Afro losing both arms at the elbow and getting a massive, bloody slash across his chest. After both samurai scream in agony, Jack rises to his feet, approaches Afro, and slices him into at least six more pieces with his remaining arm in a fit of raw fury. |

Played Straight and also Averted in The Last Circus, the Big Bad Sergio gets horribly beaten to the face by the protagonist Javier and because the circus doesn't have time to take him to an hospital due to all the blood loss, they take him to a Back-Alley Doctor in the form of a vet who gives him a life-saving Meatgrinder Surgery resulting in a lovely Facial Horror covered in Scary Stitches. The real aversion comes with Sergio not dying despite becoming hideous on top of being a loathsome Crazy Jealous Guy, but he still gets a Downer Ending. Played straight with secondary villain Colonel Salcedo losing an eye early on in the film courtesy of Javier, who later on finishes the job by killing him. | |

Also, in Another Note, Beyond Birthday attempts Self-Immolation as part of his Murder-Suicide Plot. He is rescued and given medical attention, before being sent to prison for life (with presumably worse/more extensive burns than Mello had)...only to eventually die of a Kira-induced heart attack in his cell. Interesting example in that it's not known exactly what he looked like, given his status as a Master of Disguise (and the fact that there are no official pictures of him)...and the person he was trying to become was not considered attractive In-Universe. | |

The shot of her corpse during her funeral shows that the mortuary wax barely even began to cover up the damage, and when she comes back at the end as the Candywoman, we see that the fire burned away all of her hair and left her scalp covered in burn scars◊ and looking like Freddy Krueger. | |

Resident Evil: In Resident Evil 6, Piers gets his arm impaled and crushed, and tears what remained of it off to free himself. He injects himself with the virus to survive, disfiguring himself even further and growing a new, lightning-shooting appendage, but then decides to sacrifice himself before infection fully takes over. The series in general has a lot of human villains, such as William Birkin in RE2, Alexia Ashford in Code: Veronica, Albert Wesker in RE5, Derek C. Simmons in RE6, and Jack and Marguerite Baker in RE7, whose ultimate fate involves getting infected with The Virus and turning into monsters that are then put down in boss fights. |

Inverted to some extent by Metal Gear. Many characters lose arms over the course of the series and two are scarred, but these are the ones likely to survive - until the next game, at least. Only played straight with Gray Fox, who gets squished and dies shortly after losing his arm. Played with in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Snake gets old, then gets a hideous facial scar to ram it home further that he's doomed and cursed to die. He doesn't - at least, not on screen, but he will in about a year. |

Another, more fiddly Batman example is Two-Face in The Dark Knight. If the movie wasn't based on a world-famous comic book and didn't have characters who were Household Names, then to the audience Harvey Dent's disfigurement would have been a sure sign of his death. But because we all know Harvey becomes a supervillain named Two-Face, we know that this isn't really the case. Then Nolan went and killed Two-Face anyway. | |

In Saints Row 2, Carlos is horrifically mutilated from being dragged behind a truck and is mercy killed shortly thereafter. On the villain side, there are also Mr. Sunshine (who has his left ear cut off by his boss for failing to stop the Saints and is killed by the latter not two missions later), Matt (whose right hand is crippled by the vengeful Player Character, who then kills him for good a few missions later), and Maero (whose face is burned with radioactive tattoo ink early in the Brotherhood arc — the fact that the Saints only manage to kill him at the very end of said arc is a testament to how badass the guy is). | |

In Death Note, Mello receives severe burns after blowing up his hideout when cornered by the Japanese police. Not too long afterwards,note Actually, quite an unrealistic amount of time afterwards he is sent on a Suicide Mission by Near and Halle and dies of a Kira-induced heart attack while on said mission. Also, in Another Note, Beyond Birthday attempts Self-Immolation as part of his Murder-Suicide Plot. He is rescued and given medical attention, before being sent to prison for life (with presumably worse/more extensive burns than Mello had)...only to eventually die of a Kira-induced heart attack in his cell. Interesting example in that it's not known exactly what he looked like, given his status as a Master of Disguise (and the fact that there are no official pictures of him)...and the person he was trying to become was not considered attractive In-Universe. |

Averted and subverted multiple times in A Song of Ice and Fire. Beautiful knight Jaime Lannister loses his right hand, and is initially ready to die from it because he sees no point in living without a sword arm, but survives and gets Character Development instead of a quick death. Princess Myrcella Baratheon loses an ear and a cheek to a sword and lives on, though she's apparently doomed to die at some point after being crowned. Princess Shireen Baratheon (her cousin) was disfigured by greyscale when she was young and is still alive, though the wildlings claim it's only a matter of time before she dies from relapse. Loras Tyrell gets hideously disfigured by having boiling oil dumped on him and has yet to die from it, though he's currently still on his deathbed from said injury and may die from it after all. Tyrion Lannister loses half his nose on the Blackwater (but then again he wasn't exactly very 'handsome' to begin with) and survives it. And for the last few days of his life, Ned Stark walks with a cane after his leg is injured in a fight with Lannister soldiers. Then he gets executed. | |

In the Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma OVA, the protagonist's Love Interest has a large, prominent scar on her face which drives her to suicide when she regains her lost memories of how she gained it. Later on, during the climactic final battle, her reincarnation (who also hooks up with the hero) gains an identical scar, but fortunately she's made of sterner stuff this time around. | |

Perfectly justified in 7 Seeds, given the situation they are in, they know that a severe (or mutilating) injury can mean death for them. Examples include: Mutsuki Karezeno from Team Winter ends up committing suicide after he gets attacked by a saber-tooth tiger and gets his arm ripped off and a side of his face mauled. Ukai gets his eye clawed out by a bear during the final test and knows that anyone who has sustained such a severe injury is flat-out rejected as a potential take for Team Summer A. He ends up freezing to death in an unrelated matter. |

In the Catwoman (2004) movie, the Big Bad Laurel has gained flesh as hard as marble due to the side-effects of her make-up line. During the climactic fight with Catwoman, her face ends up being cracked and scarred, though she initially doesn't realize this. Eventually she ends up hanging off a ledge, and upon seeing a reflection of her damaged visage she plummets to her death. It's left ambiguous as to whether the shock of seeing herself like that caused her to lose her grip for a fatal moment, or whether she consciously chose to die rather living with her disfigurement (and a doubtless lengthy rap sheet). | |

Almost immediately after, the spirit of the Holy Grail attempts to absorb Gilgamesh as a new vessel, drawing him into a void that the narration describes as beginning to melt him. Though Gilgamesh doesn't let this kill him, intending on using his chains and Shirou to pull himself out, he is subsequently finished off by an arrow to the forehead from Archer. | |

Gantz: Part of this follows the trope, and part of it subverts it. Subverted while the characters are brought to the places to fight aliens, and they get horribly dismembered. Many of them think they're goners. Until after the mission is over, in which case Gantz teleports all the survivors back and completely restores them. Followed, however, in the real world, where any character that gets a permanent dismemberment (and doesn't get sent to Gantz) dies. | |

In The Big Heat, Debby's face is badly burned when Vince throws hot coffee at her. Of course, she gets killed off... but not before she returns the favor to Vince, who is arrested, but survives. | |

Played straight with Dumbledore; his right hand is shriveled and unusable at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and he dies at the end of it. Justified in that the curse on his hand would soon kill him anyway, so he let himself die for the sake of continuing The Plan and saving Harry. | |
