The Corruption has taken hold of this character. Fully ahold, leaving no trace of the original. Not a time for Driven to Suicide or I Cannot Self-Terminate; there is not enough mind left. Often it's not even a matter of Mercy Kill — you have to kill in self-defense. Or Cold-Blooded Torture or Mind Rape has utterly destroyed the mind. There is nothing left. Looming death may make Mercy Kill unnecessary — but it may not, but dying has strange effects. For just a moment, you know that this character is aware of you. This may be the point at which you recognize your friend — possibly because it coincides with This Was His True Form, with physical freedom as well as mental, but possibly just the change in expression and the like. Gratitude, expressed in the form of Go Out with a Smile or just a glimmer in the eye, is likely. Perhaps you can hold his hand so he is not Dying Alone. Perhaps he can say My God, What Have I Done? or shed Tears of Remorse, or even undergo Villainous BSoD, and you can try to console him. Some form of Last Words is sometimes possible — possibly even a Last Request. Often he will be Peaceful in Death. May sometimes lead to a Tear Jerker. This is also the way a Tragic Monster often kicks the bucket.
In some cases, this may be a physical change too, combining Evil Makes You Monstrous with No Ontological Inertia.
A form of Death Equals Redemption. May overlap with Restoration of Sanity. Compare Died Happily Ever After, I Die Free. Contrast Fighting from the Inside. Not to be confused for This Was His True Form.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Twilight Princess: When the Triforce of Power fades from his hand, Ganondorf suddenly becomes mortal and the glow on his wound disappears. He dies not as Ganon, the dark god that granted Zant the power to invade Hyrule, but as Ganondorf, the mortal Gerudo criminal with an overdue execution.

In Adventure Time, when the magic that keeps Ice King aka Simon Petrikov insane (and immortal) is dispelled, he tells his fiance Betty not to restore it, as he'd rather die from No Immortal Inertia than go crazy again. She instead convinces him that she can cure his insanity without killing him, and so he goes back to being Ice King for the time being.

Metroid Prime Trilogy:
In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, we learn through the logs of Luminoth warriors that, in the event that they are possessed by the Ing, they choose to kill themselves rather than be used as weapons against their people.
Rundas in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. All the hunters get corrupted and have to be fought and killed off, but when Rundas is beaten, he seems to look around, confused. He almost tries to speak, but is impaled by an ice spike. It is uncertain whether this was him euthanising himself or not. It makes it even more sad.

Watchmen: Possibly, when Rorschach dies at the end of Chapter 12, he takes off his mask and is killed while he has his human face visible, rather than, what he refers to as his "real" face, which is his mask. He said earlier that the mask is a face he can tolerate, face of someone who sees no grey areas in world. In the end he is killed by his friend, because he refuses to hide a terrible secret. Thus he gives up, abandons his face and tells his friend to kill him. Alternately, he doesn't need the mask to be his face; he is Rorschach through and through, sticking to his principles by accepting death rather than compromise, so it doesn't matter what face he wears on top anymore.

In Worm, Taylor, after having acquired an 11th-Hour Superpower at the cost of her sanity in order to save the world, briefly retakes control of her body from the nearly mindless alien entity now controlling it to talk with Contessa, who offers her a chance at regaining control of her body if Taylor can fight back against her passenger. Taylor finds herself unable to give a reply, believing that she doesn't deserve the chance, and so Contessa shoots her twice in the head. The epilogue reveals that this is a subversion, as Contessa's power allowed her to shoot so accurately that she shot out the part of Taylor's brain linked to the passenger without killing her.

In Guild Wars 2, Trahearne is forcibly connected to the elder dragon Mordremoth, who intends to use him as a backup body should the original seed be destroyed in the Dream. Trahearne begs the Pact Commander to kill him as Mordremoth's consciousness begins to take control, and the Player has to do so to end the storyline. There are other places in the game where enemy monsters who are NPCs that have been tainted by Elder Dragon corruption, but haven't had their minds completely succumb yet, will ask you to finish them off before they turn into shambling killers.

In Highschool of the Dead, Hisashi Igou is bitten by one of "them" and requests this of Takashi. Unfortunately, Takashi hestiates long enough for Hisashi to become one of them.
Furthermore, in Episode 6, Kouta and Takashi request this of each other in the event of being bitten... but only in the dub, for whatever reason.
Saeko uses this to comfort a student who has been bitten and thus must be put down.

X-Men:
Played with during one of the most known examples is The Dark Phoenix Saga. Jean Grey tapped into a source of infinite power, the Phoenix Force, and became Phoenix. But she got Drunk with Power later, and turned into Dark Phoenix, a being so insanely powerful that she may destroy complete solar system on a whim. The X-Men fought against her, attempting the "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight. Eventually, the good Jean does emerge, but asking her friends for a Mercy Kill. Neither Wolverine nor Cyclops could bring themselves to do that, they love her. So she eventually committed suicide.
Karima Shapandar, under the control of her Sentinel programming, attacks Utopia and is disabled during the fight by Hellion. When she briefly reasserts herself over her programming, she begs Hellion to kill her to prevent her from attacking everyone again, and he complies.
In Sins of Sinister's Nightcrawlers #1 Wallcrawler volunteers for a likely suicide mission, scouting the World Farm, as he can feel Sinister's presence growing at the back of his mind, eating away at his free will. The stolen lab complex on the World Farm has teleport shielding, so he dies instantly when he reappears there. Over the next century this becomes a tradition for Nightkin who feel their identity slipping away.

Bleach:
When Kaien Shiba was possessed by a hollow, Rukia Kuchiki was forced to kill him to stop its rampage in his body. As he was dying he thanked her for killing him and apologized to her.
Orihime's brother became a hollow after his death and attempted to kill Orihime. Ichigo beats him up and gives him a lecture about how older brothers are supposed to protect their younger sisters. For one brief moment, Sora manages to regain control enough to rip off his mask and share the goodbye with Orihime that they'd never been able to have before Ichigo finishes him off (at his request) to save his soul (the anime takes a Lighter and Softer approach by having Sora kill himself rather than the shounen hero doing it).
Anime Episode 291. When Kaname Tousen is stabbed and mortally wounded while in Hollow form, he returns to his true form and his mental state appears to return to normal as well.

An example from Rescue Me may apply, though it does not involve death. Chief Jerry Reilly's beloved wife is rapidly deteriorating due to Alzheimer's disease. For weeks, she's been calling him "Bud", her brother's name. After she tries to kill herself while he's out, he realizes that he can no longer care for her properly and commits her to a nursing home for Alzheimer's patients. After he says goodbye to her and begins walking away, she calls after him on the verge of tears, "Jerry!"

In Batman: Arkham Knight, this is implied to be the fate of Mr. Freeze and Nora Fries. With Freeze's research and equipment destroyed and lost in stopping Deathstroke's men and Nora released from her cryogentic tube, Nora begs Victor to stop trying to save her and let them live normal lives, especially seeing how much doing so destroyed him. Victor ultimately agrees and pops open his suit's visor, deciding that they'll live their last days as normal as possible.

In the Fire Emblem series, this is very common with characters who are Brainwashed and Crazy or suffering from Demonic Possession.
Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake have Duma, who succumbed to the dragon's Sanity Slippage long ago but regains enough of himself before expiring to give Alm and Celica a stern warning not to repeat his and Mila's mistakes.
Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem plays this straight with Hardin, but the DS remake has a particularly cruel twist on this trope: Eremiah was an orphanage caretaker brainwashed by Gharnef into creating Tyke Bombs. After the party defeats her, Gharnef un-brainwashes her as she's dying just so she can re-live the most horrible memories of her former life in her last moments. Just in case you didn't realise he was a colossal dick before...
The morphs in the final chapter of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade are modeled after the Four Fangs, as well as other high-level enemy commanders encountered throughout the game, heavily implied to be crafted using their essence. Their coloration is off, being much paler than their normal portraits, and dead silent. When slain in combat, their coloration returns to normal and most give a slight smile before crumbling to dust.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones has Lyon in Eirika's route, who regains control of his body from the Demon King right as he bites it. (It's less so in Ephraim's route, where Fomortiis goes the More than Mind Control route instead.)
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has Rajaion, Ena's fiancé and Dheginsea's son, who was captured by Ashnard, fed the Feral One drug, and forced to act as Ashnard's personal mount. After Ashnard bites it, he shares one last moment with Ena before following him into the grave.
This is heavily implied to happen to the Grima-possessed Avatar from the Bad Future in Fire Emblem: Awakening in the Future Past timeline, who seizes control of their body long enough to allow Lucina to land the final blow, and apologizes to their child Morgan with their last breath. Averted in the main game, where it's all Grima raging against the end until the finishing blow by either Chrom or the Avatar.
Most of Anankos's victims in Fire Emblem Fates get this after you put them out of their misery, including Garon in Birthright, Takumi in Conquest, Scarlet, Arete, Mikoto, and Sumeragi in Revelation, and Anankos himself in the best ending of the Heirs of Fate DLC. Garon is too far gone in Conquest and Revelation, however, and Gunter has a very close shave with this trope before he is brought back to his senses and manages to survive.
Fire Emblem Warriors has Darios, who is released from his Demonic Possession just in time to pull a Heroic Sacrifice to save the twins and their comrades.

However, through a series of flashbacks, it can be deduced that she was worn down into the drug addict alcoholic nihilist as a result of many things. However, before she dies, she experiences a Heroic BSoD in which she realizes she doesn't like anything about herself. Her parting words in the planetarium she'd been longing to go to are heart-breaking for most fans of the show, as it not only shows that she never strayed from her childhood dream (shut down by her Stage Mom), but were also unclear final words until the screen went black.

In The Last of Us, Tess reveals to Joel and Ellie that she's been bitten, but after fighting Infected for twenty years, she's resolved that she will not become one of them. So when they see that the militia is quickly approaching, she sends the two of them away so she can kill as many as she can before she's gunned down herself.
Joel and Tess encounter a person pinned by debris with a broken mask in a butt of spores early into the game, who pleads for death for this reason. It's up to the player whether or not Joel kills him.

Bloodborne:
Gilbert is one of the first friendly characters the player meets and gifts them with the Flamesprayer after defeating Father Gascoigne. He reveals that he came to Yharnam seeking aid for his illness and doesn't have much time left, but expresses gratitude that he'll at least die human. Ultimately subverted, as he transforms into a beast after defeating Rom, the Vacuous Spider, requiring the player to put him down.
Ludwig is a hideously deformed horse-like abomination that Was Once a Man, but midway through the battle against him, he finds and recognizes the sword that he wielded before his degeneration and regains enough humanity to use it for the remainder of the fight, and when he is finally defeated, his severed head asks the player whether his sacrifices and actions were in vain (they were, but the player can choose to tell him otherwise).

In Odin Sphere, at the end of Cornelius' chapter, he fights and mortally wounds Belial, breaking him free of an evil sorcerer's control, and giving him just enough time to eat said sorcerer before dying.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Most homunculi die as themselves (which are usually hideous monsters, so it's mostly an inversion). Even "Father" is eventually sucked into the Gate to "not die" as himself, in the form he loathes, presumably for the rest of eternity. In-world aversion to this (and one of the few cases this trope is played straight), Bradley dies as a gray-haired old man, as he originally was a human and a part of him thought himself as such, being the only one of the Homunculi to keep this form after fatal injury and death.
Also the reason Scar killed the chimera Tucker created: it was the mix of Nina and her dog Alexander, and there was no possibility of returning to them to their normal state.
In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Sloth has been spending all her "life" trying to prove she's not Trisha Elric, but as she's dying, she tells them to "take care of each other".

The Legend of Drizzt:
Drizzt Do'Urden's sister Vierna was probably most sympathetic to him — this was implied to be because she was Drizzt's full-blooded sister, not just Malice's daughter but Zaknafein's too. However, Drizzt escaped, most of the rest of the family was killed, and Vierna became a houseless rogue, she became ever more desperate to regain the favor of the drow goddess Lolth, becoming more like their late, vicious elder half-sister Briza, but with all of Malice's cunning. She decided to try one more time to bring Drizzt back and sacrifice him to Lolth. It didn't work, and Drizzt, despairing at how she'd changed, was forced to kill her. In death, he noted she seemed to be at peace, and gained some of her softness back.
Exile kills two characters this way in a single set piece. One is treated as a Dying Moment of Awesome; the other is just sad.

In Guilty Gear XX AC+, one of Millia's endings involves her slowly being possessed by her Forbidden Beast parasite, Angra, much like Zato was possessed by Eddie. Suddenly, out of nowhere, her admirer runs up to her and stabs her. He freaks out when he realizes what he's done, but she, with her dying breaths, thanks him for letting her die as herself.
However, this ending isn't canon, as she is still very much alive in Xrd.

Played with during one of the most known examples is The Dark Phoenix Saga. Jean Grey tapped into a source of infinite power, the Phoenix Force, and became Phoenix. But she got Drunk with Power later, and turned into Dark Phoenix, a being so insanely powerful that she may destroy complete solar system on a whim. The X-Men fought against her, attempting the "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight. Eventually, the good Jean does emerge, but asking her friends for a Mercy Kill. Neither Wolverine nor Cyclops could bring themselves to do that, they love her. So she eventually committed suicide.

In Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, we catch a glimpse of what Isildur was like with the Ring. He is in immense, constant pain from carrying it due to it having burned him when he first touched it, and, despite having maintained his faculties, he's already well on the way to the toxic obsession that most bearers have towards it. However, when the Ring finally slips off his finger in the river, he feels a great sense of loss and considers drowning himself—and then, suddenly, the mood passes and he feels better than he has in some time, knowing in his heart that he's no longer carrying a great burden. Unfortunately for him, the Ring's invisibility was also the only thing saving him from being shot to death by orcs, and those orcs are still close by...

Duncan's fellow Immortal Michael Moore turns up, saying that his old enemy Quentin Barnes is on the loose and killing again, thirty years after being executed for the murder of Michael's wife. It turns out that Barnes is a Split Personality, sharing time with Michael, and the "Barnes" personality is getting stronger. In the climax, Michael seems to briefly retake control and hold himself motionless so Duncan can kill him, and Barnes with him.

Supernatural:
In Season 4, Dean says that at least Sam will "die as a human" if the demon blood detox kills him.
Also happened back in Season 1. Meg, possessing an innocent human woman at the time, was thrown out a several story high window but her powers kept the body alive. Episodes later, Dean and Sam exorcise Meg out of her body and she thanks them right before dying from the injuries.
Played With in early Season 7, Castiel has absorbed thousands of souls from Purgatory and goes mad with the power. After committing multiple atrocities, he manages to expel the souls and becomes himself again, promising to redeem himself to Dean. However, his body is also infected with Leviathans, which take over and cause his vessel to break down completely and he is presumed dead.
In Season 9, after being branded with the Mark of Cain in Episode 11, Dean is corrupted by its influence and slowly becomes Ax-Crazy. In the season finale, after he's fatally wounded by Metatron and dying in Sam's arms, Dean admits he's actually relieved to be dying because the Mark "was turning me into something I don't wanna be." Unfortunately, dying is the final step in doing just that, and Dean is subsequently resurrected as a demon.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse:
Female Patient's Note has her writing about how the Getsuyuu Syndrome is making her forget about her deceased family members more and more. She doesn't want to live and completely forget them, so she says she'll commit suicide while she's still herself and remembers at least some part of her family.
Dr Haibara's assistant has a note that reveals that most of the advanced Getsuyuu Syndrome patients have done this, to choose a 'natural' way to die, rather than succumb completely to the Syndrome.

Super Paper Mario had something slightly similar to the above mentioned Ocarina of Time manga: Mario ends up forced to fight Fracktail (Fracktail was originally supposed to simply let Mario pass without a fight, but Dimentio ruined it by casting a spell that caused Fracktail to undergo a glitch that forced it to fight Mario). Shortly after Mario delivers the coup de grace on Fracktail, Fracktail regains his senses and then apologizes to Mario for his error before self-destructing.

World of Warcraft is filled with various bosses and leaders that were corrupted by various evils to their side, most notably by the undead and the black dragonflight.
Many of their original personalities and moral values still show to various degrees... either in Last Words, during the fight or even before. How much of the original personality shows depends on how powerful the being was beforehand, or how perverse is the corruptor — or both. This tends to fall into Fighting from the Inside — although many times they can't — their voice is the only freedom they have left.
Perhaps most startling for fans was the death of Arthas, the Lich King. Despite the many assurances of in-game characters that nothing of the man Arthas remained, as he lay dying the Lich King persona faded and, for a brief moment, Arthas could be seen. It's almost enough to make you forget his horrible deeds.
Given that when Frostmourne was shattered the souls it had stolen were released, and that Arthas' own was the first it stole...
According to the novels, Arthas destroyed his good and evil sides out of his fear of unending failures as a light guy, leaving only an obsessive sociopath. It's implied that the realization that miracles are possible — Tirian begging the light to save him from twelve inches of solid ice and the wards of an evil overlord looked like a complete joke to Arthas, only for it to work — caused him to remember what he was past his own fear of failure.
In another example, the players fight a red dragon that has been corrupted by the blue dragonflight leader Malygos. As the fight near its end, she begins to beg the party to kill her, lest she kill them instead. When finally slain she's freed enough to pray to the Dragonqueen for deliverance.

In "The Darkest Place". M'gann M'orzz asks a vengeful J'onn that if he's going to kill her, she wants to die in the human form she's chosen, rather than her original White Martian form.
In "Ace Reporter", where Jack turns out to be both mind controlled and kept alive by a nanobot swarm.

Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem plays this straight with Hardin, but the DS remake has a particularly cruel twist on this trope: Eremiah was an orphanage caretaker brainwashed by Gharnef into creating Tyke Bombs. After the party defeats her, Gharnef un-brainwashes her as she's dying just so she can re-live the most horrible memories of her former life in her last moments. Just in case you didn't realise he was a colossal dick before...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Savage Opress was originally a Proud Warrior Race Guy who defended the other Dathomirian males from the Nightsisters. After Ventress chose him as her champion, however, Mother Talzin used magic to turn him into a vicious, hulking brute that was, well, Meaningfully Named. He stayed that way until the end of "The Lawless", when he's mortally wounded by Sidious, whereupon he reverts to his original personality and tearfully tells Darth Maul "Brother, I am an unworthy apprentice. I'm not like you. I never was..." before dying.

Towards the end of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Xion fulfills her programming and becomes a perfect replica of Sora. After Roxas kills her, though, Sora's memories fade away from her, and she spends her final moments as herself, lying in Roxas' arms. Another interpretation is that Xion was always "herself" mentally, but chose an inhuman form to make it easier for Roxas to finish her off, changing back to her original form only to say goodbye.

In The Order of the Stick, Durkon manages to do this after being turned into a vampire note In this setting, vampirism causes the individual to be possessed by an evil undead spirit that keeps control of the victim's soul, explaining why vampires are always evil regardless of what the living individual's alignment was. He bided his time and, when the moment was right, shoved all of his memories into the vampire spirit simultaneously, which (temporarily) caused the spirit to be identical to him long enough to allow Belkar to kill him before he was overwhelmed by the vampirism again.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica: After being captured and injected by Alexia, Steve Burnside mutates and becomes a raging monster, until the virus ultimately kills him. He barely survives long enough to turn back into human and give Claire a Dying Declaration of Love.
Resident Evil 6: At the end of Chris Redfield's campaign, his partner Piers Nivans is forced to inject himself with a C-Virus syringe to save Chris from the HAOS, giving him a mutated arm that shoots electricity. When they reach the escape pods, Piers pushes Chris inside and stays behind in the collapsing underwater facility, knowing the infection will eventually take him over. He still manages to shoot one last discharge at the HAOS when it attacks Chris' pod before the place explodes.

Fright Night (1985). After "Evil" Ed Thompson is converted into a vampire and turns on his friends, one of the characters presses a cross into his forehead, branding him. After he's killed by a wooden stake in the heart, the forehead brand disappears and his face relaxes, indicating that he's finally at peace. Subverted in the end and the later canon comics, he's not dead, he's still a vampire, and still a bit of a creep.

This comes up several times in the Newsflesh world, with it being accepted practice for those fighting zombies to save a bullet for themselves, and one character irate over a delay in the Mercy Kill of someone about to become a zombie. He insists that from that time on, anyone he knows who's about to go zombie will die while they're still able to remember their own identity, if he can possibly do anything about it (and that includes himself).

Stargate:
A variation in Stargate Atlantis when Rodney comes down with "Second Childhood", basically advanced Alzheimer's. Ronon and Teyla want to take him to a particular location that will allow him to regain his identity long enough to say his goodbyes and die with dignity. Once they get there, Rodney immediately says "the hell with dying!" and is actually pissed off that they thought he'd be better off cognizant of his impending death. Of course, they eventually do find a way to remove the parasite from his brain.
Stargate SG-1:
"Serpent's Song" ends with the death of Apophis; without him, his host quickly ages and dies as well, and Daniel performs an Egyptian death ritual to let the host Face Death with Dignity. Sokar later uses the sarcophagus to bring Apophis back to life, but hopefully nothing of the host survived death.
The end of "Forever in a Day", after Teal'c shoots Sha're to save Daniel. Ammonet (the symbiote) dies leaving Sha're just enough time to tell Daniel she loves him before she dies as well.
In the episode "The Enemy Within", Charles Kawalsky is taken over by a Goa'uld and he under goes surgery to remove it, he says beforehand that he "wants to wake up as himself or not at all."

The Owl House: In the Grand Finale, after being separated from the Titan's heart, Belos' body reconfigures into his original self, Philip Wittebane, who thanks Luz for "freeing" him from a "terrible curse" that made him do evil things. It's a blatant lie that gets undone when the boiling rain hits human form, burning it and revealing a decaying, muddy skeleton barely clinging onto life. In a sense, this is Belos' true self: a miserable, manipulative monster of Gravesfield inhabiting Philip's corpse.

In Fushigi Yuugi, Miboshi's power as a Seishi is to possess the bodies of living people in order to prolong his own life, and spends most of the series in the form of a small child... until he possesses Chiriko, who has just enough will power to throw him off, just long enough to commit single-bodied murder-suicide.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has Rajaion, Ena's fiancé and Dheginsea's son, who was captured by Ashnard, fed the Feral One drug, and forced to act as Ashnard's personal mount. After Ashnard bites it, he shares one last moment with Ena before following him into the grave.

In Smallville:
"Visage": Tina Greer dies as herself after her Karmic Death.
"Eternal", Davis tries to convince Chloe into doing a Mercy Kill, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. When Clark crashes in, Doomsday starts to emerge, and the fear for Clark's life overcame her guilt and she pulled the lever. Davis turns back to being himself as he dies. Unfortunately, it doesn't stick.

Gregory Maguire's Son of a Witch — Candle and Liir help the dying Princess Nastoya return to her true form as an Elephant after a decaying spell leaves her half-human, half-Animal. A subverted trope, in that a Animal form is the character's natural form, and the human is the corrupted form.

Some vampire characters in Vampire: The Masquerade seek to become human again, at any cost. The books suggest that if such a character dies in an act of true self-sacrifice, they die as a human rather than as a vampire.

Stargate SG-1:
"Serpent's Song" ends with the death of Apophis; without him, his host quickly ages and dies as well, and Daniel performs an Egyptian death ritual to let the host Face Death with Dignity. Sokar later uses the sarcophagus to bring Apophis back to life, but hopefully nothing of the host survived death.
The end of "Forever in a Day", after Teal'c shoots Sha're to save Daniel. Ammonet (the symbiote) dies leaving Sha're just enough time to tell Daniel she loves him before she dies as well.
In the episode "The Enemy Within", Charles Kawalsky is taken over by a Goa'uld and he under goes surgery to remove it, he says beforehand that he "wants to wake up as himself or not at all."

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "Lake Laogai", Jet has been brainwashed by the Dai Lee. Although he seems to have broken free at first by memories of his lost family, he finally regains control for real after Aang reminds him he was a FREEDOM fighter (and his memories of his crew). He tries to kill Long Feng. He fails, and Long Feng instead launches a large rock formation which hit him, causing him to die, presumably from internal bleeding. Of course, he died FREE and with honor, telling the heroes to escape while they still can.

She has a fight to the death with Wolverine which ends when he injects her body with liquid adamantium—moments before the formula wears off. We see her eyes change, and she looks at him before dying.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Wind Waker: Ganondorf is depicted in ancient legends as a monstrous pig demon known exclusively as Ganon, and his Triforce of Power makes him an immortal sorcerer capable of plunging the Great Sea into eternal darkness. By the end of the game, Ganondorf gives up his Triforce of Power in a failed attempt to make his wish of restoring Hyrule to its former glory, making him mortal once again. He ends up dying in the final battle as a human, not a pig demon, remembering his once noble goal before his corruption.
Twilight Princess: When the Triforce of Power fades from his hand, Ganondorf suddenly becomes mortal and the glow on his wound disappears. He dies not as Ganon, the dark god that granted Zant the power to invade Hyrule, but as Ganondorf, the mortal Gerudo criminal with an overdue execution.
Hyrule Warriors: Some clarity appears to return to Cia as she lies dying after being defeated by Link. The "dying" part is subverted in The Wind Waker arc in Legends and Definitive Edition.

Transformers: Energon features the Autobot Inferno suffering from being corrupted by Megatron's power and being turned into an insane Decepticon. Eventually, as he was pulled into the Energon Sun, Inferno broke free of the influence and his Autobot symbol returned. Subverted somewhat as his spark (a transformer's soul) survived and was later given a new body, reborn as Roadblock.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1999) has Volvagia being corrupted by Ganondorf during the seven years between Link's seal and Adult Link's awakening (long story short, Volvagia was actually a friend of Link whom Link managed to buy from a Bazaar.), and Link reluctantly fights Volvagia, with him continously attempting to get Volvagia to remember what it once was. It was only after Link was forced to decapitate Volvagia that it came back to its senses, and somberly tells Link that it "hurts." in one of the manga's biggest Tear Jerkers.

In Twin Peaks it is eventually revealed that Laura was killed by Bob because she refuses to allow herself to be corrupted by him and do the Black Lodge spirit's will. James mentions that on the night she died, she had some sort of breakdown in front of him, and when she came out of it she was "the same old Laura", who then proceeds to go off and allow herself to be killed.

A fairly creepy case in the second episode of the Bubblegum Crisis: AD Police Files. The story centers around a woman who replaced her entire reproductive system with bionic implants so she'd stop having her monthly period. She eventually starts attacking prostitutes, ripping out their reproductive organs. At the end she is being chased by the AD Police, who are allowed to kill her on sight because she is categorized as a Boomeroid (someone who has more than 70% of their anatomy replaced with cybernetic components), and hence does not rate as a human being anymore. She ends up in an abandoned subway car filled with criminals; she rips off her clothes and allows them to rape her to death. The character Cara Iris realize that she chose to die as a woman instead of a boomer.

Near the end of BioShock 2, Sinclair breaks into Persephone to rescue Delta (you), but is captured and turned into an Alpha Series Big Daddy. His mind is still intact (but fading) and he can still talk to you, but his body is being controlled by Lamb. He requests that you kill him quickly before his mind goes completely. Unfortunately, he has a key on him that you need, so killing him is your only option.

After you defeat Benezia in Mass Effect, her indoctrination wears off again for a short time before she dies.
If you can make Saren realize he's being indoctrinated, he'll shoot himself. In Mass Effect 3, you can do the same thing with the Illusive Man.
Also, in Mass Effect, Fai Dan does this to stop the Thorian from turning him into a thrall.
In the third game, Samara's daughter Rila does this by detonating a bomb in the Ardat-Yakshi monastery to destroy several Banshees, as well as keep herself from becoming one due to her starting to become indoctrinated.

While it doesn't fall squarely under this trope, the book burnings of Pamoon and Laila in Zatch Bell! have elements of this trope, as Pamoon's pride as a warrior is restored before he goes, and Laila's book burning is at her request, since she has no part in the battle to decide the present Demon King. Before this, they were controlled into near paralysis by Zofis' inflicted fear.

In Poké Wars: The Exigence, Harley's Ariados becomes animalistically hungry due to the dampener removal. He spends several chapters following May and her group, trying to figure out a way to kill them without the blame falling on him. During a Ursaring attack, however, the inner voice that represents his pre-removal self wins over the bloodlust, and he tackles Harley out of the way of a Hyper Beam that burns the bottom half of his body to nothing.

Super Mario Bros.:
Super Paper Mario had something slightly similar to the above mentioned Ocarina of Time manga: Mario ends up forced to fight Fracktail (Fracktail was originally supposed to simply let Mario pass without a fight, but Dimentio ruined it by casting a spell that caused Fracktail to undergo a glitch that forced it to fight Mario). Shortly after Mario delivers the coup de grace on Fracktail, Fracktail regains his senses and then apologizes to Mario for his error before self-destructing.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star did something similar with Mizzter Blizzard, one of the bosses who went insane because of the Royal Stickers. Reverting back to himself after defeat, he apologizes and revealed he only got the Royal Sticker because he prayed for life, as he was about to melt. He dies, but asks Mario to return when it gets colder so Mario can remake Mizzter Blizzard and the become his friend.

Healers possessed by demons in Tales of Kolmar, if subdued by a powerful enough mage, may be able to speak for long enough to beg the mages to kill them while they are themselves. After a few healers are killed this way a mage figures out a way to get the demon out of the healer, leaving the healer much weakened but alive, but after that the mage starts finding healers whose souls were killed by their demons.

Much of the reason as to why Nui tries to kill herself in Maim de Maim, after Ragyo cancels her antipsychotics prescription, as, without said medication, her split personality (Nui Prime) will take over and she wasn't keen on letting that happen. Her attempts end in failure.

Phantom Blood: Black Knight Bruford is defeated when Jonathan manages to unleash a flurry of Ripple-infused punches on him. Since the Ripple is the essence of life itself, it temporarily revitalizes the zombie even as it starts to destroy his body and the honorable personality he had in life is restored. Bruford spends his final moments acknowledging Jonathan as a friend and passes on his sword "Luck" to him in honor of Jonathan's courage, going the extra mile of renaming his sword "Luck & Pluck".

In Transformers: Prime, Silas, who was combined with the sparkless body of Breakdown by his scientist before becoming the Decepticon's new lab rat, was infused with a mix of Knock Out's Synthetic Energon and Dark Energon, turning the body into an Energon hungry Terracon. During his rampage, he ends up freeing Arachnid (ironically the one who killed Breakdown in the firstplace), who cuts off the body's connection to the Dark Energon. She then opens up the body's chassis attempting to destroy Breakdown's spark, only to find a weak and tired Silas, who thanks her before passing away.

Averted in the Death Note fanfic, Story of the Century. Original Character Erin attempts to destroy the notebooks under Light's and Misa's ownership to restore them to their original personalities, and to keep L from testing the 13-day rule, but L blocks her. When Light is cornered and Ryuk writes his name in his notebook, he dies in his father's arms, defending Kira's cause with his last breath.

Animorphs: Yeerks infesting humans and other host species can't survive for long in a dead host, so if one thinks its host is about to die, unless it's in the middle of combat or very dedicated it will try to leave first. The host then has full control of their body again.
In book 8, Visser Three's body was bitten by a rattlesnake and then attacked by the Animorphs, so he bailed out into the stream. Alloran, too weakened by venom to morph or to kill himself, told the Animorphs he would be healed and reinfested and begged them to kill him, but the team were still unhardened and couldn't do it.
Done more successfully in Megamorphs 3. Marco spots Visser Four leaving his host John Berryman and picks the Yeerk up to toss into a fire. Berryman then talks to the kids and when prompted tells Cassie how to unmake him.
The start of Megamorphs 4 is the aftermath of a bloody fight, which has left a single human-Controller alive, though fatally injured. Jake demands that the Yeerk leave him - "Let him alone, at last. Get out of his head. Let him do this last thing as a free human being" - but the Yeerk can't because one of the injuries was to the skull, deforming it enough to block the ears.

Swamp Thing: In the story "The Curse," a young woman's repressed anger at her misogynistic husband causes her, under occult influence, to transform into a werewolf and attempt to kill him. However, even in her frenzied state, she can't bring herself to do so. Upon hearing from the Swamp Thing that he can't release her from her "cursed" state, she impales herself in despair. She then transforms back into human form and, before dying, asks the Swamp thing if her husband's okay. When he assures her so, she dies happily.

In the Pony POV Series Recursive Fanfiction Fading Futures Twilight Tragedy manages to Set Right What Once Went Wrong via telepathic messages to her past self, preventing the Epilogue timeline from ever happening in the first place. However, as a result, the timeline begins to fade, everyone basically dying and being reborn as their Reharmonized counterparts. She spends the rest of her time before her impending final confrontation with Discord comforting her friends as they do this trope. Her original plan was to allow her pent up revenge and pain to consume her and become Nightmare Purgatory for one last Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Discord, but upon realizing that if she brutally kills him in cold blood when he can't defend himself, she'll have become She Who Fights Monsters. She manages to free herself from Nightmare form, lets go of all her pain and suffering, and forgives Discord, deciding to fade away as Twilight Sparkle rather than Twilight Tragedy or Nightmare Purgatory.

The Wind Waker: Ganondorf is depicted in ancient legends as a monstrous pig demon known exclusively as Ganon, and his Triforce of Power makes him an immortal sorcerer capable of plunging the Great Sea into eternal darkness. By the end of the game, Ganondorf gives up his Triforce of Power in a failed attempt to make his wish of restoring Hyrule to its former glory, making him mortal once again. He ends up dying in the final battle as a human, not a pig demon, remembering his once noble goal before his corruption.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Phantom Blood: Black Knight Bruford is defeated when Jonathan manages to unleash a flurry of Ripple-infused punches on him. Since the Ripple is the essence of life itself, it temporarily revitalizes the zombie even as it starts to destroy his body and the honorable personality he had in life is restored. Bruford spends his final moments acknowledging Jonathan as a friend and passes on his sword "Luck" to him in honor of Jonathan's courage, going the extra mile of renaming his sword "Luck & Pluck".
Diamond is Unbreakable: Yoshikage Kira impersonated Kosaku Kawajiri after killing him to hide from the heroes. After getting his head crushed and appearing in the Ghost Alley, his face transitions back from Kosaku's to his original one as he threatens Reimi, only to get dragged away by the hands of the dead.
Stone Ocean: F.F.'s greatest fear was losing their intelligence and not being able to say goodbye to their friends if they died. Therefore, they're actually quite happy that, even though they died, they got to say goodbye to Jolyne and tells her not to bring them back, as it wouldn't be them.

Game of Thrones:
Implied in the Season 6 finale. When King Tommen sees the Great Sept explode, with his wife Queen Margaery, her brother Loras, their father Mace Tyrell, Kevan Lannister, the High Sparrow and several hundreds of people inside, destroying part of King's Landing with wildfire, he takes off his crown before jumping off a window, dying as Tommen Baratheon instead of as King of the Seven Kingdoms. In addition, in jumping out the window of the Red Keep, he finally was able to make a single decision as his own person without anyone guiding his hand — not Tywin, not Cersei, not the High Sparrow.
Word of God has confirmed that Bran's warging wore off by the time that Hodor actually held the door against the Wights. Hodor therefore chose to hold off the Wights and allow Bran and Meera to escape of his own free will. His last thoughts were even that of happiness, knowing he managed to save his friends' lives.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) subverts this with Roger. Rather than accept Peter's offer to kill him as a human, Roger chooses to succumb because he "wants to try to not come back as one". He reanimates and is shot.

In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, the spirit of the Orc Disaster is freed from the madness that his Starved Skill inflicted on him once Rimuru absorbs him and swears he will save the orc race from extinction by famine as the Orc Disaster was pushed to do via a Deal with the Devil to obtain the Starved Skill. He returns to his original form and passes on thanking Rimuru for "sating his hunger" at long last.

The Edge Chronicles: Stormchaser features an interesting variation during Twig's fight against Screed. Just as Screed is about to kill Twig, the professor yells the name "Screedius Tollinix!", which causes Screed to pause. Twig immediately stabs Screed through the heart, realising only afterwards that Screed's demeanor has been completely changed by the memory of who he once was.

At the end of the Tower of Heaven arc in Fairy Tail Erza gives a Really Dead Montage for Jellal, who's body they never found. In it she theorizes that he returned to his good self before preforming a Heroic Sacrifice to save them. Turns out he didn't die, he was just in a coma, but as Erza predicted he did return to his old self.

In Warhammer 40,000 The Emperor of Mankind blasted the daemonically enhanced Horus with a mind spike of such power that it sent the Chaos forces occupying Horus' mind running home screaming. He could see the man that was once his most beloved son in his eyes. Sadly, the Emperor couldn't risk Horus getting possessed again, so he mind reamed him even harder at Horus's own request.

Doctor Who:
Padmasambhava in "The Abominable Snowmen", released from the grip of the Great Intelligence and finally able to pass on in peace...
In "The Mutants", Varan and his warrior clan choose this rather than await the mutation that has taken over the other inhabitants of their planet, charging the Overlords' space station to certain death.
Cheetah Person Karra in "Survival" reverts to human form as she dies, and has time for a few last words with Ace.
In "The Age of Steel", the Doctor destroys all the Cybermen's emotional inhibitors, causing them to remember their humanity and realise what they've become, which in turn causes their heads to explode.
In "The Satan Pit", after the Beast is flung into the black hole, the Ood trapped on Krop Tor as it falls in after him are freed from his control, looking very confused.
Averted in "The Lazarus Experiment": although Lazarus returns to his original human form when he dies (both times), his personality was the same throughout, even when he was in his monstrous form.
The villain of "The Unicorn and the Wasp" is brainwashed to kill thanks to an Exposition Beam informing him of his heritage getting mixed up with the murder mysteries his birth mother is a fan of. At the end, when he drowns, it's implied he may have returned to normal when he releases Agatha Christie, who was mentally linked to him, from the link before she would have died.
A heroic variation is basically invoked on the Doctor by each of their regenerations, made visible at the end of Ten and Eleven's respective lives: the first phase of regeneration is that the Doctor's current body "resets" before the Doctor changes into their next self (Ten losing his facial injuries and Eleven resetting from his advanced age back to his original youth).
What the Twelfth Doctor tries to do in lieu of regenerating in "The Doctor Falls". He doesn't want to go through the agony of becoming a new person all over again because he's at last content with the man he currently is. Instead of regenerating, he stops the process and allows himself to die. Only his companion, Bill, and her lover Heather have something to say about this. Moreover, while he still manages to stop it in the final scene of this story, his first incarnation suddenly arrives on the scene...

Mistborn: The Original Trilogy:
Marsh regains his identity a few times throughout, but most importantly at the end, to remove Vin's earring which was the last of the power that kept Preservation from her. Subverted, as he loses control right after, and although she effortlessly kills all the other Inquisitors, her body evaporates from the power before she can finish him off. He ends up regaining control of himself permanently, but only after Ruin has been killed, resulting in him appearing in Era 2, 300 years later, as a supporting character.
Word of God reveals that the Lord Ruler had been corrupted, though not directly controlled, by Ruin through Hemalurgy, which was how he went from Jerkass to evil. However, we see in Secret History that this is another subversion; 1000 years of Ruin's influence has left Rashek permanently altered, and he coldly insults Kelsier and Preservation before passing on.

The Legend of Dragoon provides an interesting example in the case of the demon-possessed ghost of Lavitz. Even though he's already dead, the demon possessing him prevents him from leaving, and forces him to attack his former friends. However, following the boss battle, Lavitz recovers just long enough to run himself through with his own spear, killing the demon in the process; Lavitz has enough time to share a moment with his friends before disappearing altogether.

In Horatio Hornblower episode "Retribution", the mad Captain Sawyer seems to regain his sanity when Wellard enters the cabin, intending to kill him so that he won't name either Hornblower or Kennedy as the man who pushed him. Sawyer confronts this calmly and admits that Wellard is worthy of respect. Though Wellard can't go through with it, the Spanish break in moments later and Sawyer stands side-by-side with Wellard, calling him a brave lad just before they're both shot down.

Brought up again in Mockingjay, in which the hijacked Peeta fights against his bouts of insanity and begs the other members of the Star Squad to kill him while he's lucid, implying that he wants to die as himself and not as what Johanna Mason calls the evil version of himself.

During the finale of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jekyll realizes that Hyde is taking over his body, and his use of the potion will only transform him back into Jekyll for a short time before he turns back into Hyde. Quickly running out of the potion and unable to make more, Jekyll decides that his final transformation into Hyde will mark the 'death' of Jekyll, as Hyde's only options after that will be to face execution for his crimes or kill himself. (Hyde ends up going for the latter.)

Right toward the end of her life, she realizes she's been wrong, and performs a Heroic Sacrifice saving Fireheart from the dog pack.

Thor: Love and Thunder: After the Necrosword is destroyed, Gorr's body returns to normal but he is still focused on his revenge. It's only when Thor tells him that Eternity could bring his daughter back to life instead of killing the gods that the loving father he was finally returns. He spends his last moments cradled by his returned daughter.

Once Upon a Time:
Invoked twice, though no one actually dies, in the Season 2 Finale. Greg and Tamara have activated a trigger that will destroy Storybrooke and kill everyone. Grumpy gives Rumpelstiltskin a potion that he will cause Lacey to lose her cursed memories and return her memories of her as Belle, saying that she shouldn't die as Lacey. As Regina prepares to sacrifice herself to stop the trigger, she begs Emma to let her do it citing this:
Invoked in the Season 5 mid-finale by Hook. He was turned into a Dark One and consumed by the darkness, almost dragging all of Storybrooke into the Underworld. But finally seeing Emma in danger made him strong enough to fight it off and he begs her to stab him with Excalibur and let him destroy their darkness with his death.

Implied in The New Order: Last Days of Europe with the mad Russian warlord Rurik II, who spent the last years of his life claiming to be the second-coming of the ancient Varangian prince Rurik. Shortly after reuniting Russia under a new Muscovite kingdom, on his deathbed he admits to his children that maybe the whole charade was worth it in the end, and he passes peacefully as the ex-Red Army Major-General Nikolai Krylov.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Used in "Becoming, Part 2", when Buffy defeats Angelus just as Willow completes her spell to turn him back to Angel. Although he is himself again, Buffy has to kill him anyway to close the gate that Angelus opened. It's reversed when he came back though.
Spike's Mum, in the much, much later (Season 7, near the end) episode "Lies My Parents Told Me". With particular reference to the moment of grateful self-recovery.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi: In the middle of a fatal (both to himself and others) qi deviation, Nie Mingjue snaps out of his murderous rampage at the sound of his younger brother's scream after injuring him with a wild saber swing. The flash of sanity only lasts long enough for him to collapse and die. The manhua adaptation plays the scene the same way, while the donghua makes it more nebulous whether or not he hurts his brother first, or manages to dredge up just enough control to kill himself instead.

And he is forced to swear that if he interferes in a fight between Orochimaru and any of his former teammates, Sasuke's soul will be ejected from his body. Uchiha chooses to do so anyway, so that he can give Naruto a chance to kill his body while he is in control.

A variation in Stargate Atlantis when Rodney comes down with "Second Childhood", basically advanced Alzheimer's. Ronon and Teyla want to take him to a particular location that will allow him to regain his identity long enough to say his goodbyes and die with dignity. Once they get there, Rodney immediately says "the hell with dying!" and is actually pissed off that they thought he'd be better off cognizant of his impending death. Of course, they eventually do find a way to remove the parasite from his brain.

In The Return of the Living Dead, Frank does this by turning on the morgue crematorium and climbing inside, having just seen Freddy give in to the pain and become another brain-eating zombie. That he's doing this to try and preserve his humanity through his destruction is obvious; he solemnly removes his wedding ring, kisses it and hangs it up, then offers a short prayer to be forgiven before immolating himself.

Star Control 2: The backstory has this. The Dnyarri can telepathically control creatures. But they withdraw from their minds at the moment of death, lest the Dnyarri experience that death with the being. A Ur-Quan notices this and guesses that this also counts for extreme pain. So he injects himself with acid. In the last moments before his death, when the Dnyarri have pulled out of his mind, he gets to a comm device and tells every Ur-Quan on-planet about it. They begin hacking at body parts and so forth to give themselves the few seconds of freedom needed to get to the nearest Dnyarri and kill it. So begins the fall of the Dnyarri slave empire.

In Str.A.In.: Strategic Armored Infantry, Ralph Werec's insanity loses hold of him just as his sister is forced to kill him to keep him from enacting his Omnicidal Maniac vision on the galaxy. To heap on the symbolism, his musical pendant snaps off when it happens, just like her identical one did when he destroyed her Flyssa in the first episode.

The Fly (1986) features a double subversion of this as Seth Bundle doesn't think he can die as himself before the Bundlefly persona can take over. However, given he does silent request Veronica to kill him with the shotgun, Seth did die more human than monster on the inside.

Kingdom Hearts:
Towards the end of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Xion fulfills her programming and becomes a perfect replica of Sora. After Roxas kills her, though, Sora's memories fade away from her, and she spends her final moments as herself, lying in Roxas' arms. Another interpretation is that Xion was always "herself" mentally, but chose an inhuman form to make it easier for Roxas to finish her off, changing back to her original form only to say goodbye.
In Kingdom Hearts III we learn that Marluxia had forgotten his life before he was a Nobody. On his deathbed he says "So now it all comes back to me..." and then genuinely thanks Sora for helping him remember.

Babylon 5:
Londo's death; he's had a keeper on his neck keeping him controlled for the last 18 years or so. Only in rare times does it let him free as himself for a few minutes or hours, usually if he gets drunk. Takes the form of Prophecy Twist as he had a vision when he was very young of him being strangled to death by G'Kar, as shown in the first episode, but rather than being an act of hatred it's an old friend carrying out a Mercy Kill.
A variation in "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars": A fascist dystopia is using holographic simulations, endowed with the forms and (initially) the personalities of Sheridan, Delenn, Franklin and Garibaldi, to make a propaganda film discrediting the Interstellar Alliance. Rather than allow the film to be released and tarnish the legacy of his long-deceased friends, the Garibaldi hologram hacks into the system and broadcasts the plan, as well as the location of the secret base where the film's being made, to the enemies of the people making it. Unfortunately, this starts a nuclear war, although it was implied to be about to start anyway, and Garibaldi made sure the good guys got the first shot.
