He's dead. His body is just twitching a bit. And yet, he doesn't fall, his muscles so perfectly conditioned they can continue to function without any signals from his brain. So he just stands there like a morbid practice dummy. He's died standing up. This is a device used when a character is so utterly badass that even in death they refuse to accept utter defeat. The body continues to strive for victory even when its driving will has been extinguished. This goes hand in hand with a Badass Normal or any other absurdly strong character, especially one with a Charles Atlas Superpower. It may be mixed with Taken for Granite, when a villain's magical body has No Ontological Inertia and turns to stone at the moment of death. Despite the description above, this can happen to both heroic and villainous characters. In addition, this trope for some reason often tends to be paired with Off with His Head!, and scenes where the body waves its arms around looking for the head, or walks around for a while before collapsing are common. This is technically possible in Real Life (especially with the help of rigor mortis, but see Real Life, below), though absurdly unlikely, and in any case a corpse's lack of balance control will cause it to topple sooner or later. The realms of fiction simply contrive to end the scene before this happens. In deference to gravity, falling to one's knees also counts, so long as the final plunge into a prone state doesn't follow. Taking another step forward despite being clearly dead also counts. Related to You Are Already Dead. Compare to Fell Asleep Standing Up. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Sengoku Basara: Muneshige Tachibana, the resident chainsaw wielding samurai, has a defeat animation where he drops his chainsaws and slouches over while standing. He isn't actually dead unless you are playing as a character who outright kills their opponent instead of defeating them. Takeda Shingen's animation had him put down his weapon and do a Badass Arm-Fold, standing proud before he keels over a moment later. Several characters have defeat animations in which they attempt to get back on their feet only to fall over. |

Bleach: Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, though only his legs and about half his torso stay standing. The rest is sliced to pieces by Juhabach. Before Yamamoto, Nnoitra invoked this trope by dying as his knees reached the ground, more or less exactly as he wanted. Nianzol Weizol remained standing after being fatally impaled. His corpse collapsed on a pool of his own blood shortly afterwards, however. |

Happens in a Black Jack story. A young doctor who has lost his entire family to cancer and is now dying of it himself vows to treat one cancer patient before he dies. He completes the operation, but when the other doctors go to congratulate him, they find he has died on his feet. Weirder still, a post-mortem reveals that his heart had already stopped a few minutes into the operation. Just another example of determination overcoming the laws of biology. | |

A variation happens near the end of The 13th Warrior where after barely defeating the enemy, Buliwyf is seen to plunge his sword into the ground and sit down on a log at the base of the defensive wall, watching their retreat. Moments later the other men realize that he has finally died of the poison he was inflicted with earlier and is sitting there, staring into the distance. | |

"Unconscious" variation in the Street Fighter Alpha manga, Sakura Ganbaru! After a glorious two-on-one match against Cammy and Sakura, a defeated Zangief staggers on the edge of consciousness, but, having dedicated his skills and his body to proud Mother Russia, he cannot afford to let it fall, much less in view of his beloved comrades. So he wills himself back up, into his victory pose, and stays that way even after blacking out. Cammy, Sakura, and all spectators acknowledge his defeat, but they are awed by his devotion even more, making it a symbolic victory. | |

Another non-fatal version occurs in Naruto. During the preliminary exams, Rock Lee seeks to prove that, despite his lack of ninjutsu and genjutsu, he has become a splendid ninja through hard work alone. Unfortunately, his opponent is Gaara of the Desert. After a long and grueling fight, Gaara breaks Lee's left arm and left leg, crippling Lee. However, before Gaara can be declared the winner, Lee suddenly stands up and enters a fighting position. Initally, everyone assumes he is still conscious, but it's only when Lee's teacher, Might Guy, looks closer that everyone realizes that Lee is out cold, his body standing up through sheer willpower alone. | |

Several times in Fist of the North Star, being an epic manga, many characters receive an epic death where their body keep standing: The most iconic death in the manga and the Trope Codifier in the manga industry: Raoh's corpse stays frozen, his fist gloriously clenched upwards, after he literally sends his soul to Heaven to bring Light and Hope to The World. This scene is so iconic that any instance of this trope played in a manga afterward is very likely a reference to his death scene. As well, Toki dies this way after Kenshiro's fight with Ryuga, through a combination of radiation poisoning and sacrificing himself so that Kenshiro will use the sorrow from his death to unlock the ability of Muso Tensei. And then Juuza, immediately after falling gets back on his feet and keeps fighting Raoh for another minute and a half, despite being already dead, being able to wound a shocked Raoh with one last punch before falling down and bleeding out. This after having previously bashed heads with Raoh the day before. Raoh is so humbled by this that he immediately orders his men to give Juza a respectable funeral, out of respect for his fallen adversary. Considering the hellacious beating Juuza takes leading to his death and post-mortem fight, this might qualify as a Rasputinian Death as well. The giant twins Raiga and Fuga meet this end as they are killed while holding up a massive block of stone that threatened to seal the exit out of the then-crumbling Cassandra prison. Also a Dying Moment of Awesome given that they struggled to hold it up while alive, yet even while dead they continued to hold it up. Even Kokuoh, Raoh's (and later Kenshiro's) massive horse dies in this way towards the end of the series, dying a peaceful death in the middle of a thunderstorm. At the end of the final battle of the Anime, Kaioh and Hyoh, Raoh and Kenshiro's brothers, respectively, die this way, courtesy of a jet of lava erupting from the ground, solidifying the both of them into a statue in which the former is cradling the latter. |

In Dawn of War: Some units, when killed, don't go into their "dead" animation, instead remaining standing. Especially annoying when you run into these and think you're about to be attacked. Invoked by General Sturnn in Winter Assault in the closing stages of the Imperial Guard Missions. See above quote. |

In the historical fiction tale, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's said that this is how Cao Cao's bodyguard, Dian Wei, died, blocking a gate so that the assassins sent to kill his lord couldn't go after him. His valor terrified the assassins, and made Cao Cao's other enemies begin to revere the man. Also counts as a Dying Moment of Awesome. | |

In Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, a non-fatal version occurs in the Moon Dragon God arc when Lucy's opponent, Mimi, refuses to keel over and actually manages to stand up after taking Lucy's Urano Metria, which gives Lucy a shock at first because she was about ready to collapse herself by that point, until she realizes Mimi passed out in the process of standing and stayed ram-rod straight up. Not for nothing is Mimi called "The Immovable". | |

In Asura's Wrath, this is how Yasha dies. This trope gets subverted in Lost Episode 2, however, as when Asura and Akuma fought each other, they eventually turned into stone. The subversion is that they Start moving again and fight once more, still looking like stone statues! | |

James Bond: You Only Live Twice. A British intelligence contact in Japan is standing by a wall telling Bond what he knows about missing Russian and American space missions when he just suddenly stops talking. Bond grabs him, to find him stabbed in the back through the thin Japanese paper wall. It was like the knife through the wall was holding his dead body up. Counts also as Dies Wide Open, since it looks like he was just turned off. Similarly in The Man with the Golden Gun, Bond has a rendevous at a Thai boxing match with Scaramanga's girlfriend so she can hand over the McGuffin that she stole from him. He sits down next to her and starts talking, only to realise she's staring straight ahead and not responding. Then he notices the bullethole over her heart. Scaramanga then appears and says it was a particularly difficult shot even for him; as well as the Conspicuously Public Assassination, perhaps he also meant the need to inflict spinal damage to keep her body in that position. |

Thord asks Sigurd whether his wound is serious, but Sigurd does not give a clear answer. When they reach Streymoy, Sigurd leans against the boatshed wall and keeps standing there while his companions clear the boat. When they are finished, they notice that Sigurd is dead and stiff, still leaning against the boatshed wall. | |

The appendices to The Lord of the Rings include the story of Helm Hammerhand, an ancient King of Rohan who was besieged in the Hornburg during a very bad winter by the Dunlendings and their allies. A soothsayer gave Helm the omen that if he never killed anyone by using a weapon, he himself could never be killed by a weapon: thus he took to leading night-time sorties against the besiegers, killing men with his bare hands. Keep in mind that Helm was large and strong enough that this whole war started when he killed a half-Dunlending lord with a single mighty punch. Helm worked up such a kill count than the enemy feared him as if he were a snow troll stalking through their camps. Then one night during a particularly bad blizzard he didn't return, and that morning the enemy found him outside standing upright, but dead and frozen: no weapon killed him. | |

A non-fatal villainous variant occurs in My Hero Academia. Stain, heavily injured after his fight against Izuku, Shoto, and Iida, escapes his bonds and rescues a heavily-injured Izuku from a noumu. He proceeds to turn to the assembled pro heroes, which includes Endeavor, and takes a few steps while releasing a Killing Intent so strong it freezes all of them in place. He then stands still, and it takes them several nervous seconds to realize that's because he passed out standing up. | |

In an episode of Case Closed, the victim had just finished an exacting workout and her muscles were tense enough to throw off her time of death after being murdered. Conan recognizes this after seeing a statue of a legendary Japanese warrior who had died on their feet in a battle. (See Benkei, below) However, since the people involved were old friends of Kogoro, Conan allowed Kogoro time to figure it out for himself with the help of his subtle hints—and in a rare for the time occurrence, he did. | |

In The Elder Scrolls, primarily Oblivion, can have issues with corpses that remain standing with their arms straight out at their sides. This is usually after loading a cell where multiple deaths have occurred at a previous time, and the game simply can't handle all the requests being made of it, and as such forgets to apply Havoc to them. There's actually a must have Mod called streamline that has the option to 'Kill Corpses', whenever you enter a cell, to make sure they stay down. | |

One Piece: Whitebeard dies standing, after going through a downright insane◊ Rasputinian Death and proclaiming to the entire world that the One Piece exists (and thus giving a gigantic middle finger to the World Government). Considering how he was probably the most badass character to ever exist in One Piece, he clearly could not have died any other way. As a kicker, his Badass Longcoat falls off immediately after, revealing that despite being shot, stabbed, slashed, and blown to hell pretty much everywhere else, his back didn't have so much as a scar;note Minus one that was the result of a sword coming from the front THROUGH his back in his entire life, he never retreated from an enemy, not even One. Single. Time. Additionally, Whitebeard's death, including how much punishment he took before dying, seems to be based on Benkei's death (see below), right down to still holding his weapon (bonus points on Whitebeard also wielding a polearm/spear-type weapon). This event serves as the page image for this very trope. While not actually a death, Zoro definitely tried to invoke this, and came damn near close to dying, when he let Kuma transfer all of the pain and fatigue Luffy suffered during his fights on Thriller Bark to him. Keep in mind that Luffy is able to withstand more damage than a normal human can (and he's a Rubber Man to boot, raising his damage tolerance). The next morning, Zoro is standing perfectly still, saying that "he's fine" while both he and the ground around him are covered in his blood. It is this very event that is now the trope image for Made of Iron. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: Subverted with Akira Otoishi when his Red Hot Chili Pepper got almost destroyed upon falling into water, he lived through all that even if he seemed like he died standing. Stone Ocean: Jotaro in the final battle is instantly killed when his face is split in half, causing him to stand dead right where he was before his body falls over. JoJolion: Kei receives a fatal Eye Scream in the last fight, managing to pass a phone to Josuke before she died standing and slumps. |

You Only Live Twice. A British intelligence contact in Japan is standing by a wall telling Bond what he knows about missing Russian and American space missions when he just suddenly stops talking. Bond grabs him, to find him stabbed in the back through the thin Japanese paper wall. It was like the knife through the wall was holding his dead body up. Counts also as Dies Wide Open, since it looks like he was just turned off. | |

When the Kyurangers travel to the past to find out how Don Armage managed to survive, they meet and fight alongside Orion against Don Armage and his forces. During the climactic battle, Orion succumbs to the fatal wound he received previously and died while kneeling with his weapon still in hand. | |

Fairy Tail: Makarov remains standing in place after performing a Heroic Sacrifice for the sake of his allies, by casting Fairy Law, a spell that is Cast from Lifespan, against an enormous enemy army—since Makarov was already a very old man and the cost varied based on how many targets were affected, he used up the rest of his life and died. In Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, a non-fatal version occurs in the Moon Dragon God arc when Lucy's opponent, Mimi, refuses to keel over and actually manages to stand up after taking Lucy's Urano Metria, which gives Lucy a shock at first because she was about ready to collapse herself by that point, until she realizes Mimi passed out in the process of standing and stayed ram-rod straight up. Not for nothing is Mimi called "The Immovable". |

Fate/stay night Berserker in all three routes, and Shirou in the Normal end of Heaven's Feel, after a Heroic Sacrifice. He died standing up before he completed his Heroic Sacrifice.. only to complete it after he died. Also, in the anime this happens to Archer (you never see that scene in the Visual Novel, so it's possible it happened offscreen there also). Very impressive as Berserker is perfectly capable of ripping apart buildings with the shockwave his insanely strong and fast attacks leave behind, and logically any single attack should have knocked Archer down, or at least backwards. | |

It doesn't do his body much good: Braniac controls his corpse like a macabre puppet. The Braniac-cap himself exhibits this trait once rigor mortis sets in — detaching himself and crawling on the ground, "powered only by malice", swearing to kill Superman even as he dies. | |

Unfortunately Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed) ruins the moment by blowing up Fusion Android #13's remains while mockingly referring to him as a mere "toy" and that he was just "cleaning up". | |

In Drowtales, Lulianne had a Hope Spot when she found the remnants of the Dutan'vir's Last Stand and found one person still standing... only he wasn't actually alive in a technical sense, having been taken over by a demon, and the various blades in his body indicate that his fellow warriors had tried to kill him once he was possessed. Also a rather cruel twist on the Dutan'vir's sigil, which was a tower that represented stability. | |

Ash's Incineroar ends up fainting this way after having a hard-fought battle against its rival and then evolving right after. It is declared unable to battle while it was frozen in its post-evolution roar. A wild Galarian Farfetch'd faints this way after a grueling battle with Ash's Riolu. Ash doesn't take this chance to catch it...but it voluntarily joins his team anyway. The same Farfetch'd, evolved into Sirfetch'd, has another moment like this after a Single-Stroke Battle with Cynthia's Garchomp. |

Diaz Ragu of Shadow Skill. He took on the avatar of Death itself, tore his body apart from superhuman battle techniques, and was still standing when he actually managed to get it to concede the fight. | |

City of Heroes will occasionally forget to animate the "defeat" of enemies who are beaten too quickly. Given the amount of damage necessary—a One-Hit Kill on a completely unaware enemy—and the infrequency of the occurence, it can be comedic or epic. | |

In Ginga Densetsu Weed, Tobē, who has been fatally injured, refuses to fall down and die. He was about to fall, but three other dogs who showed up at the last moment stood around him and propped him up until his body froze solid in a standing position, guaranteeing it would stay that way without support. The series, and its precursor, had a few examples of this. | |
