Alice, Bob, and Charlie are in a Love Triangle. Alice loves Bob, but also has feelings for Charlie—or maybe she doesn't, but can't or doesn't want to turn him down. Maybe she's even in a relationship with, or married to Charlie, while pining after Bob. However will she resolve this dilemma? Well, fortunately, she doesn't have to — Charlie meets with a convenient illness, accident, or other such fatal situation, freeing Alice up to go after Bob without guilt. If Charlie is aware of Alice's feelings for Bob, he may tell her with his dying breath that she shouldn't mourn him too much, because he wants his beloved to be happy. Note that not everybody uses "hypotenuse" in the way it appears here, as a triangle only has one hypotenuse, but two other sides (unless it is equilateral), so it would be logical to call Alice the hypotenuse in the above example. See for instance Tom Lehrer's "Lobachevsky", which mentions Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva's production of The Eternal Triangle, "starring Ingrid Bergman as the hypotenuse." This trope is where The Plot Reaper meets Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends. If Charlie's death is not accidental, but intentionally done to remove him from the triangle, it's Murder the Hypotenuse or The Uriah Gambit, depending on whether it's done directly or set up indirectly. See Comforting the Widow. Compare to Ship Sinking. See also Competing with a Corpse, when the love triangle carries on even after the death. May still be a Bittersweet Ending and even lead to Dead Guy Junior. Contrast Die for Our Ship, when the fandom wishes the hypotenuse would die. Spoilers may be within. |

Mandorallen, The Baroness of Vo Ebor and The Baron of Vo Ebor (who sees Mandorallen as a protege) in David Eddings' Belgariad (the Baron actually spends a fair bit of his time in dangerous hobbies like warfare and duelling people who badmouth his wife or his protege, with an implication he's trying to invoke this trope in a societally acceptable fashion — he's very well aware that Mandorallen and the Baroness are deeply in love and that both are far too noble and fond of him to actually do anything while he's still alive). In the fifth book, the Baron is seriously wounded. In one of the first books of the second pentology, the Malloreon, the Baron dies as a result of his injuries, but Mandorallen and the Baroness don't get together until a new hypotenuse shows up - a crony of the Baron's heir. Finally sick of the moping, and the incipient civil war looming between Mandorallen's family and the Baron's, Belgarion storms in and orders Mandorallen and the Baroness to marry and get it over with, paying off the Baron's heir just to make sure everything stays settled. | |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows also subverts this with the reveal that Snape was hoping for this in regards to James, who was Happily Married with Lily. He had begged Voldemort to spare Lily, but when the time arose Voldemort killed her anyway. This ended with James and Lily being Together in Death while Snape was alone once more. | |

Highschool of the Dead: This actually makes things worse for the hero since Rei's now focused on Takashi, but way too often she ends up comparing him to her dead boyfriend Hisashi or berating him in a way that makes Takashi think she is. She eventually gets over it and admits that she'd dated Hisashi more because it hurt too much to be with him, but now she's all his. | |

In X-Men, Cyclops making it out with Emma Frost — almost literally on his dead wife's grave. In this case, the dead wife made them do it with her psychic powers, or rather, the future resurrected her did it, but still perplexing, since there were plenty of other ways she could have made Scott stay that were a lot less tacky. Years before even that, Marvel contrived a character-assassination retcon, along with a massive company-wide Crossover story-arc just to remove the guy's first wife because Jean Grey always comes first and foremost. |

In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Simmons ends up entering a relationship with a stranded astronaut named Will in the interregnum between seasons 2 and 3, much to the discomfort of Fitz, who had asked her out moments before she got sucked into a portal that transported her to the world Will was living on, and only finds out about this after risking his life to bring Simmons back to Earth. After a while, Fitz comes to terms with this and decides to pull I Want My Beloved to Be Happy, but then the winter finale reveals that Will was killed by Hive shortly after Simmons was rescued. | |

Jane the Virgin technically ended the Michael/Jane/Rafael triangle halfway through season 2 by having Jane choose and marry Michael, but with Rafael still in the picture, still being Jane's friend, and them sharing a child, viewers speculated that it was only a matter of time before the triangle resurfaced again. Eventually it was resolved for good with Michael's death, clearing the path for a possible Jane/Rafael reunion. Undone in the season 4 finale, when Michael is revealed to be alive. |

Obito apparently dies during a mission, thus leaving Rin and Kakashi free to hook up, right?

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) (both the original and the reboot) has a variation on this where Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk are best friends and a pair of Private Investigators. Jeff has a crush on Marty's wife (fiancée in the reboot) Jeannie which he would have been far too honorable to act on until Marty dies in the first episode.... matters get a bit more complicated when Marty comes back as a ghost only Jeff can see. | |

Fridthjof's Saga: Ingibjörg and Fridthjof love each other, but Ingibjörg's brothers despise Fridthjof because he is not of royal rank, and instead force her to marry King Hring, who is old but actually a fine guy. As Fridthjof cannot bring himself to act against Hring, he offers to go away and never see Ingibjörg again, but Hring stops him and reveals that he has a deadly illness and knows he will die soon. He makes Fridthjof his jarl and successor, and at Hring's funeral Fridthjof marries Ingibjorg in accordance with Hring's own wish. | |

The Fifth Elephant: It happens to the wolf Gavin, who dies heroically. Implied that narrativium was working heavily in favour of the suitor that survived, or that Carrot was deliberately taking advantage of narrativium, and made sure it was Gavin that made the Heroic Sacrifice. Whether this was done consciously or unconsciously is impossible to tell through Carrot's constant Obfuscating Stupidity. | |

Neighbours: Killed off Bridget for this reason and this reason alone. Apparently the writers didn't want to ruin the apparently endless opportunities for a good teenage romance plot by a marriage. It was a storyline that many fans hated because the two were always portrayed as happily married and madly in love. | |

Harry Potter: Deconstructed in books four and five. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is in a love triangle with Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang. At the end of the book, Cedric dies, leaving Cho free. In the next book, Harry and Cho do hook up, but it's portrayed almost as a Sex for Solace (but without actual sex) kind of relationship brought on by their mutual grieving. Ultimately, Harry's attempts to repress his Survivor's Guilt despite Cho's need to talk about Cedric leads them to break up (along with Cho's confusion about the nature of Harry and Hermione's relationship). Ultimately they wind up married to different people. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows also subverts this with the reveal that Snape was hoping for this in regards to James, who was Happily Married with Lily. He had begged Voldemort to spare Lily, but when the time arose Voldemort killed her anyway. This ended with James and Lily being Together in Death while Snape was alone once more. |

This is how the love triangle in The Castle of Otranto (the first Gothic Novel) was resolved, although it's a bit of an unusual variation. While the two surviving sides of the triangle do marry, they're both deeply distraught over the death (as the two love rivals were quite close friends), and it's said that part of the reason they get together is that they know that no one else will fully understand their grief. | |

Anohana The Flower We Saw That Day smashes this to pieces. Back when they were children, Anaru liked Jintan and Tsuruko liked Yukiatsu, but both boys liked Menma and the girls, despite caring for Menma, felt that they couldn't compete with her. Menma's untimely death only made things worse for all of them (and their uninvolved friend Poppo), since such a tragedy tore the group apart and showed that, in reality, the demise of "the person who gets in-between" does NOT equal to the others getting together: the guys got so broken (and Jintan already had his own issues) that no girl in their eyes could match the very high standard that Menma had left, with Jintan becoming a hikkikomori and Yukiatsu both considering Anaru as a prospect "back-up girlfriend" (and neither she nor Tsuruko, understandably, are happy with that) and wearing dresses similar to those Menma used to wear. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The main love triangle between Shinji and the heroines, Asuka and Rei, ceases to exist when the latter pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to save Shinji, shortly after arriving at the realization that she "wants to be one with him". As a sort-of deconstruction, the former ends up doubting the sincerity of Shinji's feelings, accusing him of coming to her because she's basically the only one left, since everyone else (including the clone replacing the Rei everyone used to know) either scares Shinji or has kicked the bucket at this point. | |

Final Fantasy VII: The Love Triangle between Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa ends when Aerith dies. A cutscene right before the final battle implies that Tifa and Cloud end up consumating their relationship. Amazingly enough, there's still Ship-to-Ship Combat between Cloud x Aerith fans and Cloud x Tifa fans, arguing who Cloud loves. Don't forget the Cloud x Seph and Cloud x Zack fans. | |

If you happen to be a female in Metal Gear and Otacon loves you, expect to die in a cruel, yet beautiful way. The tendency for every girl that Otacon falls in love with to die is a big contributor to his Ho Yay-addled relationship with Snake. Lampshaded in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance when Sunny mentions in an optional codec that he's hesitant to go on dates because of his experiences in the past. | |

In the Xanth book Isle of View, the characters themselves invoke this—Prince Dolph is engaged to both Nada and Electra, and for various complicated reasons cannot just pick one. With the deadline coming up, Electra and Nada (who get on quite well) quietly start taking turns anytime anything dangerous needs to be done, just in case fate should resolve the problem that way. | |

In Samurai Flamenco, Goto has two main love interests: his partner Masayoshi, and his off-screen girlfriend who texts him often.note Mari tries being Goto's love interest, but he isn't having any of it and she's already basically in a threesome with the Flamenco Girls. The story not only bumps Goto's girlfriend off, but flat out says she hasn't been presumed alive for years — the bus she got on when she and Goto were young had everyone on it disappear, and he's been delusionally texting as her using her phone to cope. She even "dies" a second time when Sawada deletes the last message Goto got from her. Coincidentally, this also happens to be the same place where Masayoshi proposes to Goto in the climax. The finale subverts it, as Goto ends up lapsing back into his old habit to allow her to "check up" on him and Masayoshi one last time. | |

In Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, there was some form of love triangle between GV, Joule & Quinn, with Joule occasionally intervene in the conversation between GV and Quinn out of jealousy. In the true ending epilogue, Joule's "passing" leaves no obstacle for Quinn to have GV to herself & GV (now wearing civilian clothing) moving on his life with Quinn, wishing happiness for Joule. That said, it should be noted that Gunvolt still seems to treat Quinn more like a close friend than a romantic interest. | |

Macross Frontier subverts this. Near the end Sheryl, close to death from her illness pleads Alto to save Ranka, so the two can be together after she dies (emphasized more in the novels, but still present in the series). Then Ranka uses her powers to ''heal'' her CoolBigSis Sheryl, so the threesome persists, and remains unresolved in the show itself. The movies seem to invert this. The "hypotenuse" is the only one left standing, while her victorious rival is in a coma, and their object of attraction is missing. However, Word of God confirms that they all survive, and implies that the latter two eventually get back together again after the ending. |

Degrassi High: Has a baroque (and rather creepy) example. In the first season, Caitlin dumps Joey because he's rather immature and because the new kid Claude seems so much more her type. But Claude turns out to be an ass and she dumps him too. In the second season, Claude is thinking of suicide (due to unrelated problems that Caitlin doesn't know about). Desperate for any hope, he asks Caitlin out again, and she tells him to get lost. When she gets home, she finds Claude has sent her flowers and his suicide note. As she's screaming with rage and guilt, her science teacher orders her to tutor her old ex-boyfriend Joey. He's had a lot of Character Development over the course of this season and comforts her during the tutoring. Soon, they're back together again. | |

Epilogue shows that Gai is fatally knifed by a bandit on his way to Ryu and Kaori's wedding. However, by this time he had come to accept them as a couple and makes it to the wedding to congratulate them before he dies. Maria/Rie would also count as this, since her death gives Ryu the closure he needs to finally begin a relationship with Kaori. | |

Mass Effect 3 can do this with love triangles involving love interests from the first two games, usually by killing off the Mass Effect 2 love interest. Thane automatically dies no matter what, and Miranda, Jack, and Tali can also die, but that's up to the player's actions. Can also be done with the Mass Effect love interest if it's Ashley or Kaidan that was Shepard's love interest in the original. Just have Shepard be forced to shoot them dead. Can also apply to the Virmire mission if the player wants to romance Liara without being confronted by Ashley or Kaidan. |

Tsu'tey in Avatar. Even though Neytiri only ended up having feelings for Jake, she was technically supposed to have been betrothed to him from the beginning, so to free her from any possible obligation to or conflict with him, the triangle was predictably resolved by redeeming his character and subsequently killing him off. | |

Averted very notably in Girl Genius, where a major plot arc involved the heroine and her love interest curing the other love interest of a fatal disease (okay, so they did kill him a little bit, but it was more of a rolling death, and he has recovered now). An earlier hypotenuse, an actor named Lars, did die, but neither of Agatha's primary love interests was ever aware of his existence, much less his removal from the equation. |

Their relationship is never called love, though otherwise is handled with the subtlety of a gorilla wielding a sledgehammer, but in Xenoblade Chronicles 1, there's Reyn, Sharla, and Gadolt, wherein it initially appears that Reyn is a Replacement Goldfish to Sharla, but then it's revealed that humans harvested by the Mechon are made into Face Units. Gadolt was one, and so Sharla's fiance is back from the dead, complicating the nascent romance between Reyn and Sharla the story has been teasing to this point, but almost as quickly as he enters the plot, Gadolt pulls a Heroic Sacrifice and is out of the picture again. | |

Throughout the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trilogy, the titular hero has two love interests: the Indian princess Farah from the first game and the Empress of Time Kaileena from the second one. He leaves the former after saving her life and hooks up with the latter in Warrior Within's canonical ending. However, in Two Thrones, Kaileena is murdered by the Big Bad early into the game and the Prince is reunited with Farah, making a case of First Girl Wins. | |

More than one Case Closed case has a person killed for being one of the corners of a Love Triangle or getting in between a potential couple. Much more common if there's an Arranged Marriage (like a Dr. Jerk killing his ex-girlfriend so she won't stand in between him and the daughter of his boss whom he's marrying for the prestige or blackmail (like a policeman shooting his ex-girlfriend dead when she attempts to go the Honey Trap way right as he's actually about to move on with another woman) involved. | |

The H.I.V.E. Series: Zero Hour resolves the Otto/Laura/Lucy love triangle by having Lucy heroically Taking the Bullet for Otto soon after their relationship begins to develop. Predictably, in the next book, Otto and Laura's relationship starts to develop, but, less predictably, it turns out Laura has been threatened into turning traitor, delaying their relationship further. | |

Happens to Horatio Hornblower three times over the course of the novels. Hornblower is initially married to Maria, and his Love Interest, the Lady Barbara Wellesy, goes on to marry Admiral Percy Leighton after being spurned by Hornblower. Hornblower is naturally placed under Leighton's command and is taken prisoner after his ship is disabled in combat. He escapes captivity and meets Marie, a French widow who helps shelter him, and they start an affair. Hornblower returns to England to learn that Leighton died in battle, and Maria died in childbirth, putting both Hornblower and Barbara in a position to marry. A few books later, Marie turns up again and is killed fighting Napoleon's troops after his return to France. Four ways, if you count Lieutenant Bush, who dies in the same book as Marie. |

She then marries Gwydion, which was what she had wanted but her parents thought a pair of magic-wielding royals to be too scary. | |

When Martin tries to press Look for information about the killer he's tracking, she panics and runs away. Martin later finds her dead— killed by the US Army in an attack on a Comanche camp. | |

An interesting variation in Jojo Rabbit - the offscreen hypotenuse, Elsa's resistance fighter boyfriend Nathan, has been dead the entire time, meeting an absolutely miserable end from cholera in a Nazi death camp. Elsa simply invented a fictional, nobler reason why he isn't around anymore to tell herself. Whether Elsa and Jojo end up together is ambiguous (there's still the six-year age difference to consider, and, of course, the fact that, as orphans in immediately-post-WWII Germany, they likely have higher priorities to think about) but they do finally get to dance together. | |

Doctor Who: In "Bad Wolf", the Doctor invites a sweet young woman by the name of Lynda aboard the TARDIS. His regular companion, Rose, who's been in love with him for most of the series, isn't at all impressed by this development. Fortunately for Rose's peace of mind, Lynda doesn't make it to the end of the following episode. Series 8 establishes Danny Pink as a love interest for Clara Oswald after the Twelfth Doctor, having regenerated into an older form, basically pushes her away and puts an end to the romance that had been brewing with the Eleventh (acknowledging that the Eleventh thought of himself as her boyfriend). This evolves into a somewhat bizarre Love Triangle scenario as the season progresses and it becomes clear that the Doctor and Clara's feelings for each other remain in place — yet Clara is simultaneously also in love with Danny. Ultimately, it's not the Doctor who gets killed off, it's Danny. Followed by an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy moment in which a dream construct of Danny (created by Clara's mind — long story — but implied to possibly be the spirit of the real Danny) tells Clara to move on with her life; this almost immediately leads to an implied form of Relationship Upgrade between the Doctor and Clara in Series 9. |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Dualla has some UST with Lee (which is mostly built up in deleted scenes) but is in a relationship with Billy. He asks her to marry him and she refuses because of her feelings for Lee, then Billy is conveniently killed off by the villain of the week. Notably an Averted Trope for the most part with any love-triangle involving Lee and Starbuck (and there's a few). His brother's death in the backstory kinda counts as shown in one of the last episodes when a flashback shows Lee and Kara were interested in each other from the moment Zack introduced his fiance to his brother. |

Revenge (2011): All of Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke's love interests except for Jack Porter were Killed Off for Real. Aiden Mathis was killed by Victoria Grayson right after Emily finally got her revenge and cleared her father's name. Daniel Grayson died protecting Emily, and this was long after the Daniel/Emily ship had been sunk to the bottom of the ocean (though Daniel had redeemed himself before his death). Ben Hunter, a fourth option introduced in Season Four and one who was never really a serious contender, even compared to Daniel, was killed in one of the last episodes by an assassin. That left Childhood Friend Jack as Emily's final and true love interest. | |

In Better Luck Tomorrow, Stephanie decides she wants to be with Ben, who liked her for the whole movie, after her boyfriend Steve dies. Played with in several ways- Stephanie doesn't know Steve is dead when she makes this decision, but she's mad at him for mysteriously disappearing. Also, Ben is uncomfortable and isn't sure if he wants to be with her at this point, because he was involved in Steve's murder (which happened for reasons other than their romantic rivalry). | |

Tarzan of the Apes ends with Jane, uncertain of her emotions, accepting a proposal from the buffoonish Romantic False Lead, William Clayton and Tarzan, accepting that she's honor-bound, choosing not to make an issue of it and going off alone. In the sequel, The Return of Tarzan, Jane and her fiancé go on a cruise and are shipwrecked, coincidentally very near Tarzan's latest adventure. The fiancé dips a bit into selfish jerk territory by finding out Tarzan's identity as his missing cousin, John Clayton, and thus true heir to the Clayton estate, but not telling anyone about it so as to stay with Jane. Later in the novel, William gets a fatal case of malaria after being left for dead by the novel's Big Bad, when the now reunited Jane and Tarzan find him, the dying William redeems himself by revealing Tarzan's true identity, releasing Jane from the engagement and then giving the two his blessing to marry. | |

In No. 6, this happens to Safu, though it's really more of a case of merging her with a goddess-like entity, thus destroying a huge chunk of her personality, then blowing up the building she's in. | |

How I Met Your Mother had this with Robin/Ted/The Mother in the series finale. Robin stopped hanging out with the gang not only because she’s busy with her job but she couldn’t stand Ted and The Mother enjoying themselves and that her ex-husband is there. In the end, it turns out the Mother died and Ted got the permission from his kids to date Robin again. | |

Gone with the Wind: Scarlett has had a crush on Ashley for years, of which he once reciprocated to but then turned her away after he married Melanie. Her crush made her ungrateful for her own doting Rhett. Eventually, Melanie dies and her last words seem to be giving Scarlett permission to marry Ashley. By then Rhett has had enough and leaves so she can have Ashley, but she no longer wants him to go. No word after if she marries Ashley. | |

Justified: Boyd Crowder has liked Ava for quite some time but she was married to his brother Bowman. However, Bowman committed Domestic Abuse and Ava ends up shooting him dead. When he hears what happened, Boyd is quite thrilled that Ava is single once again (he did not really care much for his brother or the way he treated Ava). | |
