| Final First Hug | comment |
Some characters (and some real people) consider the very natural act of a father showing his love for his children to be un-manly and anathema. They so habitually maintain their stoic badass attitudes they never tell their children they love them or hug them, not till their dying hour. Heroes or antiheroes who enact this trope have lived their entire lives true to the notion that emotion is weakness, still loving their children but never even saying so. Yet, at the moment of death, such a father might find that his pride seems immaterial and insignificant compared to the crying child before him. Deciding that it's not worth it to go to his grave honorably with regret for it, he dissolves into the long overdue personification of love for the first and last time before facing the final journey. The source of many Tear Jerker endings. Doing this means usually also to Go Out with a Smile. See also Last Kiss, Real Men Hate Affection, Fond Memories That Could Have Been, and Big Damn Hug. |

In Adventure Time "The Light Cloud", Finn hugs his mother Minerva in virtual reality (she only exists as a Virtual Ghost uploaded into Founders' Island's computer network). Sadly, he is doing this as he is sailing away from the Island, and Minerva's signal can't go too far from it. As the signal fades and his virtual mother vanishes in his arms, Finn whispers "Goodbye" and sheds a Single Tear. | |

Arika and her mother Lena do this in My-Otome. It's a Tear Jerker in that this is the first time they met since separated when Arika was only a baby. Tragic in that Arika had to Mercy Kill Lena to stop Schwartz and get the Otomes' powers back. | |

Sam and Dean in Supernatural would die for each other, have killed for each other, would sell their soul for each other but when do the fans finally get to see them hug? When Sam's just been stabbed in the back and dies in Dean's arms. Oh Kripke, you Magnificent bastard! I watched your show! | |

Perhaps not a hug, but the tone of this trope is certainly there in Return of the Jedi when Darth Vader asks Luke to remove his helmet so he can look at his son through his own eyes 'just one time'. Since they'd been enemies on the opposite sides of the war and all, and Luke's father was in the process of showing us that Redemption Equals Death, it's understandable why this was the first and final display of affection. | |

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Yondu rescues Peter as Ego's planet collapses due to Ego's death. Sadly, there is only one spare spacesuit left, which Yondu uses to protect Peter from the vacuum of space, leaving him exposed. Peter is horrified and tearfully screams in denial while desperately trying to tear off the spacesuit so he can save Yondu, having only realized at that moment that Yondu was the dad he had always wanted. Yondu spends his final moments reassuringly patting his son's head, his first and last open display of paternal affection. | |

Undertale: A non-fatal example: the player character gets a hug from Toriel, the friendly creature that saved their life and was acting like a mother to them, if she is still alive after the battle with her. However, she told the player character not to return, explaining why this is a last hug. They can meet again later on, subverting the trope, but she is not expecting this at the time. Finally, there is the moment with Asriel, whom the player can hug after defeating him in the True Final Boss battle. This comes with one extreme Tearjerker line... "I don't want to let go." because he'll revert back to a flower form and be alone again. |

Played with in a disturbing way in Soul Eater. Medusa is an Abusive Mom to Crona for the entirety of the series... until she suddenly becomes incredibly kind to Crona, hugging him/her for the first time and prompting Crona to freak out and kill her. Of course, this was all part of Medusa's plan, and she dies not only revealing her Thanatos Gambit to Crona, but saying that she loves him/her. | |

In Avengers: Infinity War: Tony Stark largely keeps himself emotionally distant from Peter Parker notably rebuffing a hug from him in Spider-Man: Homecoming, although they've still nurtured a strong mentor/protege bond creeping on Parental Substitute over the course of the films. When Thanos's Badass Fingersnap culls half the universe's population at the end of the movie, Peter is one of the victims, and all Tony can do is hold the terrified, crying boy as tight as he can as he disintegrates. | |

The X-Files: In episode "Anasazi", Mulder visits his estranged father, who gives him a big hug shortly before he is killed in his own bathroom. Earlier in the season, he had noticeably declined to hug his son. Probably not the first hug ever, but likely the first in a long while. In season 8, Mulder only gets to see his son William for two days before having to leave to go into hiding. Originally intending just to be a long absence, this turns out to be the only time he ever got to see William. |

Finally, in Avengers: Endgame, once Peter has been brought back to life by Bruce, Tony, holding in the Manly Tears, embraces him before they take part in the Big Badass Battle Sequence. (It's worth mentioning that, as is the case for everyone who's been brought back in the Mass Resurrection, Peter doesn't clearly recall his actual dying moments.) The battle ends with Tony making a Heroic Sacrifice. |

In the 2007 Beowulf movie, it is revealed the the dragon Beowulf fights to the mutual death is actually his own son, by way of the same creature that was mother to Grendel. After the climax of the movie, wherein the dragon has mortally wounded Beowulf, and he has torn out the dragon's heart, they both crashland on the beach. There, the dragon's form melts away into the waves, revealing a shiny, golden humanoid. It's not quite a hug, but Beowulf looks his son in the eyes and lays a hand on his shoulder before his corpse washes away. | |

In Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi, it's not explicity stated whether Yu Ziyuan has ever hugged her children before, but given her entire personality, the chances are low. She only hugs her son when sending him away from the attack on Lotus Pier, which she then dies in. It's a sweet moment...until she pivots into giving a Dying Declaration of Hate to Wei Wuxian that blames him for the attack, further deepening the considerable psychological scars she had been inflicting on him and her son their whole lives. | |

Dragon Ball Z: In the manga, Goten and Goku didn't bond as much as they did in the anime. The anime has additional filler scenes and Goten actually averted the Angst? What Angst? trope. In the manga, the first time Goten and Goku had a serious conversation was after Goku revealed that he had failed to protect Gohan from getting killed by Majin Buu and had a Broken Pedestal moment, believing that all the great stories he heard about his father was Informed Attribute and he actually called him out. However, after seeing him go Super Saiyan 3, he finally realised that his father really is as strong as everyone told him and started showing respect again and once Goku's time on Earth is up, he tries to ask for a hug and Goku happily complies. This is an Averted Trope in the anime, due to the aforementioned filler scenes. One of Vegeta's most emotional scenes, made especially poignant by the voice actors' performances in multiple languages, was the scene where he must get his son Trunks to escape from the incoming monster Buu. The invariably proud Warrior Prince softens with sincerity and hugs his son before giving his life to save his family's. (Of course, he also knocks him unconscious to prevent the boy from following.) His lines from Dragon Ball Z Kai also provide the page quote of this trope. |
