Friendly Target	comment	The character most likely to die in any major series, regardless of genre, is the hero's best friend, girlfriend or most beloved relative, as he or she is a prime target for the bad guys. Speaking both literally and metaphorically, the most dangerous place that one can be is also the place that seems the safest: right next to the hero. It's not just spatial, but emotional; the best friend, significant other, little sister and sidekick of the hero are all deeply at risk because that leaves them as prime targets for the villains, and their deaths act as fuel for Heroic Resolve, Unstoppable Rage or simply the sadness of losing such a beloved character. You die, the hero gets mad, kills the baddie, and everyone wins... except you. And that's assuming that he even remembers you next episode. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In any case, the death of such a character is meant to sadden the audience more than any other act of evil — either a standard Kick the Dog moment or a full-on crossing of the Moral Event Horizon — that the villain does. If not to make a Heroic Resolve, then the point is usually to encourage character development. These friends are usually universally likable, and always there for the hero. They will never betray the hero, always know what to say, and basically help the hero in any way they can, the more eagerly the better. Basically, the closer to the hero the character is shown or implied to be, and the more the audience connects with the character, the lower his life expectancy. Whether it be a Heroic Sacrifice, or simply being caught in the crossfire, these characters are easily brought down by their determination in helping their friend. Bonus points if the character, while being the hero's best friend, is also The Rival. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Note that this is a character type similar to The Mentor, though a friend rather than mentor. For the act of actually killing the friend, see Stuffed into the Fridge. Similar to Obi-Wan Moment and Retirony. Often uses Sacrificial Lion. It's Not You, It's My Enemies is when the hero decides to cut a relationship short to avoid this. This is a Death Trope. Spoilers Ahoy! Examples

Friendly Target / int_1449a8e8	comment	A continuing trope of the Dirty Harry movies — his partners always end up dead or seriously injured. Even Harry warns them of this. One of them does make it, though... because he was smart enough to take Harry's advice to heart, and wear a bulletproof vest.

Friendly Target / int_3ae7602	comment	Two of Constantine's friends, Father Hennessy and Beeman, are murdered to prevent them from helping him in his investigation. His young sidekick, Chas, dies in the final battle. This tendency to get his friends killed is one of the few things the movie's John 'Cons-tan-teen' has with his inspiration, comic character John Cons-tan-tie-n. Amusingly, the original Chas, a cockney cabdriver, is notable for his longevity after becoming friends with John.

Then, he was shot by a World Noble. During the Time Skip, he was getting beaten up by several people trying to get Thousand Sunny. And recently, when he tried to dissuade Hodi from destroying Fishman Island and overthrowing King Neptune, Van Der Decken impaled him with a hail of arrows.

Every playable character (there are 75 of them) has up to three "relationships" with other characters (becomes available when they become playable) classified as A (significant friend or love), B (close friend), C (respected ally) and F (hates the person!). If (assuming both are in the party) the second person is knocked out, the first gets a boost. For example, if Vanrushal (a vampire) goes down, Luther (an exorcist) gets an uplifting morale boost from seeing his hated enemy go down. If Daniel is knocked out, Ayara is spurred to take revenge. Of course, being knocked out is only temporary unless the whole party is defeated.

Friendly Target / int_ce50887e	comment	Krillin in Dragon Ball and both of its extensions the hero's best friend and his son's close friend, who also has the misfortune of living in a universe where Death Is Cheap, and thus is killed anywhere from five to seven times, depending on what all you consider to be canon: He was killed by Tambourine, a henchman of Piccolo Daimaou, when Dragon Ball was first becoming something other than slapstick comedy, thus motivating the plot action until the end of the arc. He was blown up by Big Bad Freeza, an act which gave Goku the Heroic Resolve that depopulating entire planets hadn't, and finally allowed him to go Super Saiyan. He was turned into stone by The Dragon, Dabura, during the Buu arc, basically killing him. He got revived after Dabura died. He committed a Heroic Sacrifice when yet another Big Bad, Buu, was destroying the Earth - it didn't work, and all of humanity had to be brought back after Gohan avenged his death. Then, in the second Oddly Named Sequel, he was killed by his wife's brother. Yeah - Krillin gets killed by the personal nemeses of three more powerful loved ones. In the Bad Future, Krillin was one of the first to be killed. ... And the Distant Finale featuring Goku's granddaughter and great-great-grandson pretty much confirms he eventually dies of old age. One can only assume that a future OAV will focus on Goku powering up and destroying death in response. Android Sixteen is also subject to this in a subverted manner, as he originally appears to be a Friendly Enemy, later has a Heel–Face Turn by attempting to destroy Cell, and ultimately becomes a Friendly Target when Cell destroys him at his leisure, prompting Son Gohan's Super Saiyajin 2 Transformation.

Friendly Target / int_e37dfa1f	comment	In the game Hong Kong Action Theatre!, one of the Signature Moves you can pick for your character is "Sacrificial Buddy." The films of a character with this signature always have an Extra who is a friend or relative of the role that the character plays, who is doomed to die at some point in the movie. The character must play one scene with the Extra to establish the relationship, and after the Buddy dies (usually at the hands of the Big Bad or his Dragon), the character can either completely replenish his Chi pool or get a +5 to hit whoever killed the Buddy for the rest of the movie. This is known as the "You killed my (insert relationship here), Prepare to Die" motivation.
