When a character or a group of characters are so committed to their duty, oath, or obligation that not even death can prevent them from carrying it out. This can take multiple forms, from becoming a Revenant Zombie to Reincarnation, but all of them ultimately boil down to a character's sense of duty overcoming death itself. Subtrope of Determinator. If the character is an undead, this also becomes a subtrope of Unfinished Business and may overlap with Backup from Otherworld. See also Ghostly Goals and Murder Into Malevolence. Compare Afterlife of Service and Purpose-Driven Immortality. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: It's stated in other texts that the protagonist of Ocarina of Time was filled with regret because, in his own timeline, no one knew him as a "Hero" and so his legend, his skills, and the other valuable lessons he learned were never passed on to anyone else. He was so committed to the need to pass on his heroic legacy that he wandered the world as the restless "Hero's Spirit", not able to move on until meeting the Hero of Twilight (his direct successor) and passing his teachings to him. | |

Deconstructed in DIE, in which one of the characters in a humorous mood magically enforced an ex-boyfriend's vow that he would not rest until he saw her again. When they finally meet again, he is a Revenant Zombie and not happy about it. | |

In Bleach, Ulquiorra kills Ichigo during their second fight by blasting a Cero Oscuras right through his chest at point-blank range. While Orihime is watching, no less. She desperately attempts to heal Ichigo as she fights off a mental breakdown, but between Ichigo's wounds not healing and Ulquiorra mopping the floor with Ishida, Orihime falls back on her default response and cries out for Ichigo to help her. Somehow, Ichigo is able to hear her, and completely gives in to his Inner Hollow, which has the side effect of resuscitating his body. The ensuing onslaught against Ulquiorra leaves Orihime terrified, as a Hollowfied Ichigo repeatedly mutters that he will protect her. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Link himself doesn't count, since he was brought back by the Shrine of Resurrection, rather than his own willpower. However, the four other champions, who died a hundred years ago fighting aspects of Calamity Ganon over the control of their respective Divine Beasts, do linger as ghosts in order to fulfill their duty of defeating Ganon. | |

Naruto: Following a Heel–Face Turn, Obito sacrifices his own life to protect Team 7 from Kaguya, after which his body crumbles to ash. However, after meeting Rin in the afterlife, he decides that there is still one more thing he can do, and uses Kamui to warp his soul back to the world of the living and lend his chakra to Kakashi, temporarily granting him his Mangekyo Sharingan and allowing him to use a fully-powered Kamui to assist Team 7 against Kaguya. | |

In Pillars of Eternity, Death Guards are created when someone devoted to a cause dies with it left unresolved. In the first game, the Starter Villain comes back to reclaim his land after the player characters kill him, and the sequel features two Death Guards, one of whom has been driven insane by the impossibility of her goal. | |

Even death didn't prevent Professor Binns from teaching history as a ghost at Hogwarts in Harry Potter. However, it's implied Binns simply didn't realize he was dead at the time (nowadays, his entering class by phasing through the blackboard implies he eventually caught on, likely thanks to someone outright telling him). | |

In King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride, all residents of Ooga Booga are undead (think The Nightmare Before Christmas), but one instance stands out. When the Boogeyman burned down the count's house, the count's dog (named Black Valiant) was killed and his master became the Headless Horseman. The dog is still guarding the estate and will fend off any intruders. | |

In The Elenium, the ghosts/spirits of at least two of the knights who've sacrificed their life force to keep Queen Ehlana alive in a magical crystal appear to defend the protagonists during a skirmish with the bad guys. A character is profoundly shaken by their oath of loyalty permitting them to return from the Halls of the Dead to do this which is not normally possible. | |

Asura from Asura's Wrath found his Emperor assassinated, his wife fatally wounded, his daughter kidnapped to be used as a mantra-amplifier and himself used as a scapegoat for all of it by his fellow demigod generals in a long-term plan to rid Gaia of the Gohma. Before he can even take revenge and save his daughter, Deus singlehandedly kills him. He wakes up in Naraka — an Afterlife Antechamber that proceeds Reincarnation — clinging onto a pillar. He is goaded by a mysterious Golden Spider to embrace his rage and use it to accomplish the task, leading to him escaping Naraka back to Gaia. He later dies a second time and even that doesn't take. | |

One of the potential crewmates in Pirate101 is Dead Mike, a zombie who served with the parents of the Player Character when he was alive. He died during the mutiny that killed them as well, but came back as a Revenant Zombie to keep the two promises he made to them; to look after their child and take Revenge on the mutineers. | |

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Devil's Alphabet", Grant suggests that he and the other six members of the Devil's Alphabet Society meet every year on November 2 whether they are alive or dead. Although he is entirely serious, the others agree to it without much thought as they don't take it seriously. In 1896, the society discovers that they are being held to the occult bargain that they made 20 years earlier. Shortly after committing suicide, the unseen ghost of Deaver makes his presence at the meeting known by signing his name on the register and drinking the wine poured for him. Over the next two years, five of the other members die from various causes until Frederick is the Sole Survivor. Frederick proposes to dissolve the society so that the dead may rest. Although Grant initially objects, the motion is passed unanimously. | |

Dungeons & Dragons In the 1st Edition Advanced D&D supplement Monster Manual II, a haunt is the spirit of a person who died leaving a very important task unfinished. They attack people who pass near their death site, draining their Dexterity until it reaches zero and they can possess the victim. They use the victim's body to carry out whatever mission they were pursuing when they died. If they succeed, they will pass onto their eternal reward and the victim will regain control of their body. In later editions, the haunt concept was expanded to include Murder Into Malevolence. Ravenloft setting, adventure I6 Ravenloft. Every night at midnight, the spirits of all of the adventurers who died in Ravenloft while trying to defeat Strahd rise from the town cemetery in an attempt to fulfill their quest. Each night, they fail: they march toward Strahd's castle, enter it and just disappear. |

Toyed with in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Blood Oath". A group of Klingons is willing to let Jadzia Dax out of a pact they made with her past host Curzon, seeing her as a different person than Curzon and thus not bound by Curzon's oath, but Dax herself feels compelled to follow through on the pact anyway. | |

Functions as a game mechanic in Among Us. Even if Imposters or Crewmates are killed, they remain behind as ghosts which can continue fulfilling tasks (if they're Crewmates) or sabotaging (if they're Imposters), and therefore can still help their side win after death. However, they can only communicate with other ghosts, are Invisible to Normals, and (in the case of Crewmate ghosts) cannot fix sabotages. | |

In the metaphysical reality of Reflections of Eterna, dead people first go into the Labyrinth, from where they can enter either the Sunrise ("heaven", according to The Church) or Sunset ("hell"). However, individuals with a particularly strong sense of honor (like Cesare Marichiare, who came back as the future Saint Adrian and Roque Alva in the final books of the cycle) escape the Labyrinth back into the mortal world, effectively coming Back from the Dead to fulfill their duties. The tradeoff being that when they die for the second time, there is no afterlife, just Cessation of Existence. | |

Brook from One Piece. He and his original crew died, but he had the power of the Revive-Revive Fruit which gave him the ability to return to life. Unfortunately, it took his soul a year to find his body which had become a skeleton by then. He was then left to drift aimlessly on his ship for fifty years until he was found by the Strawhat Pirates. Why didn't he give up? It was for a baby whale his crew had befriended, Laboon. They had to leave him behind for his own safety, but promised to return to him. Brook does not consider death a good enough excuse for breaking a promise. It goes as far as him protecting his afro-styled hair as that is the only thing still recognizable about him. Laboon is still alive. The Straw Hats met him not long after reaching the Grand Line; in the same place he was told to wait. To say Brook was grateful to be told this would be an understatement. | |

In Planescape: Torment, Vhailor — an armor-clad, axe-wielding member of the mercy killers, a faction devoted to delivering brutal justice — is so obsessed with his task of bringing justice to the Multiverse that he somehow cheats death and remains alive as a walking armor many years later. He can actually be talked out of this, resulting in him finally finding peace and in his equipment promptly turning to dust. | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, Bruno Bucciarati is killed when Diavolo has King Crimson punch his fist through Bucciarati's chest. However, thanks to a combination of Giorno's Stand Gold Experience and his own desire to protect Trish, his spirit is able to return to his body and keep going. However, his body slowly continues to decay as the days pass, to the point that Bucciarati can't even feel his own accumulating injuries anymore. He ultimately sacrifices himself to undo a "Freaky Friday" Flip during the climactic fight against Diavolo, keeping the Stand Arrow out of Diavolo's grasp in the process. Because his original body has died by this point, Bucciarati's soul passes on after thanking Giorno for giving him a second chance at life. | |

In Deltora Quest, Gorl the Jalis Knight became so overcome with greed at the prospect of immortality that he killed his brothers for the Lilies of Life. However, he missed out on the chance for them to bloom, so he stood guard by them for eons, killing anyone who approached him and feeding their blood to the lilies. Even after his body had crumbled to dust and all that was left of him was a suit of golden armor, his willpower remained to continue his damned duty until the end of his existence. | |

Final Fantasy X: Auron. When he found out the Big Lie about the Summoners' Pilgrimage, the Church of Yevon, and the nature of the Sin creature, he flipped out and attacked Lady Yunalesca, getting mortally wounded in the process. It took him over a week to die, but he refused to pass on. He is determined to avenge his companions, Brasca and Jecht, and to prevent Tidus and Yuna from dying for nothing as their fathers did. | |
