Heroic Suicide	comment	Suicide is generally considered a bad thing. Even when the person doing it feels he has no other choice, it's still deemed far from heroic. In contrast, Heroic Sacrifices are almost always regarded as noble, and those who perform them are held in high regard. Despite the similarities, these two things rarely overlap. But sometimes they do. This trope is about situations where suicide becomes heroic. Say a character discovers that he is a Person of Mass Destruction, a crucial part of an Evil Plan, or the Big Bad's Soul Jar. In such situations killing oneself may be the only way to save the day. This is a specific sub-trope of Heroic Sacrifice. The difference is that in most Heroic Sacrifices dying is merely an unfortunate by-product of a heroic act. In a Heroic Suicide, dying is necessary to perform the heroic act. Or, to put it another way, a Heroic Sacrifice engages in heroic activity even though it can get them killed. A Heroic Suicide engages in heroic activity knowing that it will get them killed. The clearest examples are when a character personally will become the threat that endangers others, and they have to kill themselves to prevent it. Any such situation definitely counts as a Heroic Suicide. Another scenario is if someone is giving a Suicidal Sadistic Choice, which may overlap with this if the suicide option leads to a better conclusion (such as, say, saving hostages). Otherwise, it might count, but be careful. A good rule of thumb is that in most Heroic Suicides, the character's death is both necessary and sufficient to accomplishing their immediate goal. That is to say, they can't accomplish their goal without dying, but how they die doesn't matter much. To elaborate: Necessity: Ask yourself if there's even a theoretical possibility, no matter how unlikely, that the character could accomplish their goal without dying. If there is, it's probably a regular Heroic Sacrifice. For example, say you drink poison intended for someone else, trade places with a man on death row, or turn your spaceship into a guided missile. None of those qualify, because in each case your death is only a side-effect of what you are doing. The point is to prevent the other person from drinking the poison, buy time for the man to escape, or disable the enemy ship. You would still accomplish these goals even if you discovered you were miraculously immune to poison, received a last-minute pardon, or were beamed off your ship at the moment of impact. This trope only comes into play if the character has to die to accomplish their goal. Though that isn't to say their death will always be permanent. Sufficiency: Ask yourself how important the circumstances are under which the person dies. Do they accomplish their goal just by dying, or does it matter what they were doing when they died? For example, say you get yourself killed defusing a bomb. In that situation, it's stopping the bomb that makes your actions heroic, not the dying. You couldn't achieve the same goal just by, say, shooting yourself in the head. On the other hand, say you are the bomb. In that case, it doesn't matter how you die, as long as you do it quickly. Shooting yourself in the head is fine. So is getting poisoned, stabbed, or decapitated. Compare Thanatos Gambit, My Death Is Just the Beginning, Seppuku, and Better to Die than Be Killed. See also I Cannot Self-Terminate, which can be a heroic suicide by proxy. Often overlaps with Cyanide Pill which could be considered a sub-trope (examples go there, not here). Contrast Spiteful Suicide, the malicious counterpart of this trope that involves committing suicide solely to hurt or screw over another person, or even out of sheer pride, instead of doing so for a righteous cause. No Real Life Examples, Please! noreallife As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Heroic Suicide / int_109f7814	comment	In Sherlock Moriarty invokes this by setting up Sherlock to be "exposed" as a fraud and telling him that if he doesn't kill himself by jumping off a building, a group of assassins he's hired will kill his friends (Sherlock appears to jump, but he's revealed to still be alive at the very end). Also an inversion in that Moriarty shoots himself to prevent Sherlock from foiling his Evil Plan by forcing him to call the assassins off.

However, Data refuses to let him replace B-4 and proceeds to write a program that would erase himself and the matrix. This is a bad thing as there's an Undine threat that needs Data and, despite Geordi giving B-4 information about what's going on, Data refuses to stop. However, B-4 realizes that the lives of millions are at stake, and Data is needed more than he is. He takes over the program to delete himself so that Data can live and save the day. Data isn't happy with this.

If not even the mastermind knows who the true killer and victim are, then the killing game could be unable to continue. However, the "Heroic" part is heavily downplayed by Kokichi not doing it for others and just trying to win the game (which he hates to be forced into playing), his objective simply aligning with the rest of the class' desires and the whole trope is eventually subverted by Shuichi solving the case anyways.

In this case, how he dies matters a great deal and has consequences reaching far beyond the immediate aim. Since he died for others despite having a choice to flee, the magic that shielded him because of his mother's sacrifice returns and effectively renders every single Hogwarts defender invulnerable to Voldemort. Whether Harry realizes this at the time is uncertain, but at least it keeps them safe from the one enemy they themselves can't kill.

Heroic Suicide / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn has Pelleas, who, partway through the story, was crowned king of Daein, decides that he must commit suicide by proxy to save the country. He unwittingly signed a Blood Pact, a curse which, if invoked, will slowly kill a leader's subjects. The one at the reins of this curse is Lekain, who is using it to strongarm Pelleas into fighting a war. It is explained that a Blood Pact can only be broken if a signatory is killed by a third party, thus Pelleas cannot simply kill himself and needs either Micaiah or Tauroneo to do the deed. The trope is, however subverted - the death of one of the signatories by a third party is only one condition to end the pact. In addition to the death of one or both original signatories, the document itself must be destroyed to break the pact. On a New Game Plus, Micaiah may Take a Third Option by pointing out that breaking the pact requires the death of a signatory, but it doesn't say it has to be the party bound by the pact and thus neither she nor Tauroneo should kill the young king, essentially proposing that they instead break the pact by finding and killing Lekain, which does indeed happen over the course of the story, along with global events conspiring to make the terms of the pact irrelevant shortly after the discussion is held. Awakening has Emmeryn, the ruler of Ylisse and Chrom's older sister, who is captured on the edge of a cliff to force Chrom to make a Sadistic Choice: either give up the Fire Emblem aka Ylisse's treasure, without which the world will surely come to ruin, or let her die. To save him the pain of the choice, she gives a rousing speech and jumps from the cliff herself. Notably, her actions and final words touch even the enemy army, to the point where most of their troops decide to go Screw This, I'm Outta Here. This can be subverted if the player chooses to unlock the Spotpass chapter where you recruit her. Somehow she manages to survive the fall and ends up on a distant island, albeit with amnesia. You can recruit her in the Spotpass chapter that you meet her, if she doesn't die during the battle. In the Sacrifice ending of the game, this happens again. Because the Avatar is the perfected vessel of Grima, if s/he is the one who lays the final blow to him instead of Chrom (who can only seal the Dark Dragon for a millenia before it raises again), Grima will be banished forever... but the Avatar will be erased from existence in exchange. Subverted again: The Stinger reveals that s/he turns out to have survived too. (Or more exactly, s/he was erased, but ultimately returned to life out of his/her unbreakable will.) Fates plays this completely straight twice in the Conquest/Nohr path: While the Rainbow Sage is already about to die of old age by the time the cast meets him, when Garon's advisor Iago sends the Avatar and his/her group a message saying that they must kill the Sage to avert anyone else to get his immense powers, the Sage simply tells the Avatar not to worry and calmly offs himself right there. And unlike the others, there is no way to save him. After being defeated for the last time, Prince Ryoma of Hoshido realizes that the Avatar will be caught in a straight-up Sadistic Choice where, if he/she refuses to finish him off, Garon will probably kill him/her instead. So before this happens, Ryoma commits seppuku on the spot to both die honorably and keep the Avatar from being killed. And just like the Rainbow Sage, he stays dead.

Heroic Suicide / int_31a48eed	comment	The Outer Limits (1995): "Summit" has an almost literal example when the sole survivors of a peace summit offer to kill themselves to prove their sincerity and ensure that the peace treaty they negotiated before terrorists murdered the other representative party was accepted. All but one shoot themselves, but one refuses to die by a weapon of war and electrocutes himself instead. In "Better Luck Next Time", the two protagonists defeat two evil Body Surfing aliens by killing the host bodies and then themselves. Too far away from any other people, the aliens die. In "The Vessel", a writer goes on a shuttle flight into space, but something causes the shuttle to crash on re-entry, with the writer walking away without a scratch. He later finds out that an alien Energy Being is living inside his body, having entered him in orbit, as the alien's own ship suffered damage near Earth (the alien's actions also unintentionally caused the crash). When the authorities figure it out, they capture the writer and perform tests on him. They eventually determine that his body can't handle the stress of two beings living in it for too long. From what the viewers are shown, the alien appears to give the writer the means to kill it, so that he can live. The writer explains the procedure to the scientists, who perform it, and let him go. Later, one of the scientists wonders if they really destroyed the alien instead of the writer. This is confirmed by the "writer" himself, as a flashback reveals that it was the writer who wanted to allow himself to die so that the alien could live.

After spending much of the game forced to aid her tyrannical father, she defects to the side of the Vault Hunters and when finally meeting them face-to-face, asks them to kill her so that Jack can no longer abuse her powers for his own gain. Unfortunately, her death drives Jack to an even deeper level of insanity now that he admits that he has nothing left to lose. Tales from the Borderlands: Episode five has one during its climax. Fiona and Sasha are inside the vault monster that the rest of the team is fighting while the two of them plant an explosive inside of it to finish it off. Fiona is at the wheel of their caravan, driving at breakneck speed, but when she tries to pull the detonator's trigger, she realizes it's out of range and that they'll have to get closer to the bomb itself to make it go off. Her and Rhys try to figure out how to get to the bomb, and you can see Sasha slowly look at Fiona, and then the detonator. Fiona tells Rhys they'll have to turn back but the camera slowly pans over to Sasha, standing in the open doorway, detonator in hand, and before Fiona can stop her, she tells her it's okay and jumps out, flying backwards towards the bomb. It works, and she's on death's door after the monster dies, but the regenerative device Felix gave Fiona for safekeeping brings her back to full health.

Heroic Suicide / int_38c57aa2	comment	In the backstory to Eberron, the elvish savant Aeren engineered the uprising and freedom of his people from the giants primarily by a kingdom-wide ritual that required the willing self-sacrifice of himself and a number of volunteers, as he had realized that the magical potential of a willing sentient's blood being shed far outweighed the power accessed by an unwilling sacrifice.

Knowing there's nothing that can be done for him away from the Enterprise and that Gorn are extremely dangerous even as hatchlings, he locks the doors to prevent the others from stopping him, gives a final piece of advice to Uhura, and steps out through the shuttle bay force field to the winter storm outside. He once more compares it to Andoria before turning to look back and letting himself fall off a cliff.

Fiona and Sasha are inside the vault monster that the rest of the team is fighting while the two of them plant an explosive inside of it to finish it off. Fiona is at the wheel of their caravan, driving at breakneck speed, but when she tries to pull the detonator's trigger, she realizes it's out of range and that they'll have to get closer to the bomb itself to make it go off. Her and Rhys try to figure out how to get to the bomb, and you can see Sasha slowly look at Fiona, and then the detonator. Fiona tells Rhys they'll have to turn back but the camera slowly pans over to Sasha, standing in the open doorway, detonator in hand, and before Fiona can stop her, she tells her it's okay and jumps out, flying backwards towards the bomb. It works, and she's on death's door after the monster dies, but the regenerative device Felix gave Fiona for safekeeping brings her back to full health.

Knowing that Seishirou would come to kill her twin brother Subaru, she dressed up as him and went to face "Sei-chan", both to get killed in Subaru's place and, as she lay dying, execute a Thanatos Gambit to try helping the two. Subverted in that Seishirou was perfectly aware of what she wanted to do, but went along with it anyway and used this in his own Thanatos Gambit. Similarly, the TV series has Hinoto invoking the trope by committing the female version of seppuku, to stop the machinations of a Superpowered Evil Side that has almost completely taken over her body. By killing both sides of her, Hinoto manages to both release Sotara and Kamui who have been petrified by her Dark Self, and stop said Dark Self from continuing to manipulate both sides of the conflict to her own benefit.

The Incubators intended to use Homura as bait in order to draw out Madoka so that they could observe, then affect, and eventually control her powers for a more efficient approach to combating universal entropy. Homura refuses to play along and instead aims to intentionally become a Witch so that she'll be defeated and killed by Mami and Kyoko like how it was in the previous Magical Girl system, choosing total annihilation rather than let the Incubators get their grubby furry paws on Madoka

For a player to achieve God Tier, they must die on their quest bed. Obviously, a player usually chooses to reach god tier in pursuit of a heroic goal, and since this is one of the ways to go about it, it counts as a Heroic Suicide. It's implied that it's meant to test the player by challenging them to accept and overcome the fear of their own demise. So far, the only character we've seen knowingly attempt this is Dave Strider.

The suicide portion, aside from the suppressants, also draws from the fact that the date of his death (October 4) is the same day that he accidentally murdered Ken's mother via losing control of his Persona, and he wanted to atone for it. It even extends to gameplay: He won't join you for the October Full Moon Operation, and after his funeral, you can find his equipment in his room.

Heroic Suicide / int_61a39969	comment	Avengers: Infinity War: Vision tells Wanda to shatter the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead so Thanos can't get to it, knowing full well that this would destroy him in the process. It ends up being All for Nothing, as Thanos uses the Time Stone to reverse Vision's death, then kills him again by ripping the Mind Stone out of his skull. Earlier in the film Gamora tried this twice. First, she wanted Star-Lord to shoot her if Thanos ever captured her so her knowledge of the location of the Soul Stone would die with her so Thanos couldn't find it. When that moment inevitably happens, Star-Lord pulls the trigger, but Thanos turns the shot into bubbles. Then, when Thanos and Gamora are on the planet where the Soul Stone is, Thanos learns he has to sacrifice someone he loves to get the stone: Gamora. When Gamora realizes this, she tries stabbing herself but Thanos once again transforms the attack into bubbles. Avengers: Endgame features this trope in an inverted situation to Gamora's, in which both Hawkeye and Black Widow attempt to sacrifice themselves so that the other can obtain the Soul Stone. Black Widow's sacrifice is "successful", and Clint is able to leave with the Soul Stone and massive guilt.

Heroic Suicide / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins has a somewhat less heroic, but still important, example. Alistair reveals to the Warden early on that a Grey Warden, as a result of drinking darkspawn blood, modified or no, will eventually succumb to the taint of it. This doesn't necessarily kill the Warden, but it will cause them to lose their free will to the Darkspawn - or even worse, the Archdemon leader, if one is active at the time. This gets worse if your Warden is female, and you've played through the Deep Roads section: If your character were to lose her will to the Darkspawn, they'd bring her down to the depths, mutating and raping her until she became a Broodmother, which is what gives birth to new Darkspawn in the first place. The final burden of being a Grey Warden is kind of a mix of Heroic Suicide and Heroic Sacrifice - a Grey Warden must be closer to the current Archdemon as it's slain than any Darkspawn (usually meaning the Grey Warden has to do the slaying themselves) otherwise the Archdemon's soul will jump into the Darkspawn, and it'll regenerate in its original form - a massive freaking dragon. The soul will then instead jump to the Warden - which kills them both.

When the Doctor discovers the Valeyard's intentions, he arranges to send his past self a misdirecting message that leads him to get fatally injured. To add more to it, the Doctor is even in doubt whether or not he'll be able to regenerate his way out of that situation, but he goes ahead and does it anyway, as he knows that the Valeyard's plan is rendered void once he is either dead or has regenerated into a new incarnation, as his unique mind will either cease to exist or become brand new, both meaning that the Valeyard can no longer use him as a conduit into the Matrix. Fortunately, though, the Doctor does end up regenerating into his seventh incarnation.

Sadly for Murphy, said comic also resulted in the scene of Cain's men stripping him in 2 also becoming harsher by having SkyNet send two Terminators back to stop him, reducing Murphy to just a head, keeping him alive, and having him help usher Judgment Day in.

The dying station captain they're with tells them that one of them will have to drown and die, hopefully temporarily, while the other three get themselves to safety and try to resuscitate the volunteer. Archer immediately volunteers when Lana reveals she's pregnant.

Heroic Suicide / int_751cea2d	comment	In Death of a Salesman, the titular salesman Willy resolves to do this by intentionally crashing his car so that his family can receive the life insurance on himself as his last-ditch means to provide for them, as he has proven to be a not-very-good salesman and hasn't been earning enough in his actual sales to keep his family afloat financially. The play Subverts this by showing two problems with his plan: First, he's shown to be actually miserable as a salesman and his family's tight money situation is because he steadfast refused to change jobs to something that he most likely would have been much happier with like carpentry (the emphasis in sales on appearing well-off means the Lomans have bought several appliances that are flashy but also high-maintenance that keep breaking down). Second, when the insurance company figures out it was intentional suicide the policy will be nullified and the family won't get the death benefits anyway.

The Lone Power once approached the ten greatest wizards of the sea, offering them gifts in exchange for allegiance to him. Three accepted it, three rejected it, and three made no decision. Rather than break the tie, the tenth threw herself to the Master Shark, binding the Lone Power. The story is known as the Song Of The Twelve, and due to recent events ten whale wizards, the Master Shark, and the Lone Power must repeat it, with Nita taking the role of the Silent Lord who sacrifices herself. It goes south, however, when the Song breaks, but the Master Shark allows himself to be killed in order to bind the Lone Power anew.

Even though he is unsuccessful Decker's death gives Spock and Kirk the vital clue needed to destroy the planet killer by flying the disabled USS Constellation down the planet killer's maw, causing enough of an explosion to wreck the machine's internal mechanism. Kirk enters into his log that Decker died in the line of duty. The Next Generation: In The Child, Ian wills himself to death in short order once he realizes that he is the source of the danger to the Enterprise. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Vedak Yassim in "Rocks and Shoals", denied the right to protest the Dominion occupation of the station, instead hangs herself in public. Her willingness to die in protest of the occupation causes Kira (who refused to let her lead a less drastic protest) to realize she's becoming a collaborator. Attempted by Hoshi Sato in Enterprise when the Reptilian Xindi have captured her and pumped her full of mind-control parasites so she can crack the codes of the superweapon. When they let their guard down, she breaks free and tries to throw herself to her death. The Reptilians grab her before she can succeed, but they are impressed by her willpower. In Strange New Worlds, Chief Engineer Hemmer realizes he's infected with Gorn eggs and can feel them growing inside him. Knowing there's nothing that can be done for him away from the Enterprise and that Gorn are extremely dangerous even as hatchlings, he locks the doors to prevent the others from stopping him, gives a final piece of advice to Uhura, and steps out through the shuttle bay force field to the winter storm outside. He once more compares it to Andoria before turning to look back and letting himself fall off a cliff.

Heroic Suicide / int_8459204b	comment	Legend of the Seeker: The Calabrans killed themselves rather than reveal their great secret- where their three Boxes of Orden were. Amfortas persuaded the Confessor Viviane to kill herself so Kieran, her Seeker and lover whom she Confessed by having sex with him, would be freed so he could continue his mission in the backstory of "Revenant". This completely backfired, however, as Kieran then went off the deep end and started killing innocent people in a rage over her death. Amfortas had to kill him in the end. The king in "Cursed" tried to kill himself in many different ways so the beast he turns into wouldn't attack his people anymore, but it doesn't work since he's immune to ordinary harm. Richard planned to do this after he used the power of Orden in "Fever" to make Rahl give up the cure for a plague so that using it wouldn't turn him into a Knight Templar. Thankfully he didn't have to though, since Jennsen showed up with the cure instead. She'd tried to do this herself earlier with a poisonous stone after hiding the cure, to prevent herself being taken captive and forced to tell them its location. However, it was knocked from her grasp and the D'Harans beat her severely enough to temporarily cause memory loss, so Darken Rahl almost managed to trick her into delivering it. Thaddicus throws himself on Cara's knife as she's become a baneling (and has to kill every day) so they'll have time to find shadow water, the cure, in "Hunger". An example of a villainous inversion in "Princess". Sister Portia, a Sister of the Dark, willingly gives her own life in a ritual in order to bring Nicci Back from the Dead. For the rest of the show, Nicci is using Portia's body as her own, and the appearance now matches hers in the book. In "Desecrated" Cara tries to kill herself so Kahlan will have more time when they are trapped in a tomb with the air running out. Kahlan stops her though.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony has Kokichi Oma, who lets Kaito Momota crush him with a hydraulic press in chapter 5 to create an unsolvable murder by faking evidence to make it seem equally as likely that Kaito is the victim, and making it impossible to tell if the poison killed the victim or the hydraulic press did, where the killer would be either Maki or Kaito/Kokichi, depending on who the actual victim is. If not even the mastermind knows who the true killer and victim are, then the killing game could be unable to continue. However, the "Heroic" part is heavily downplayed by Kokichi not doing it for others and just trying to win the game (which he hates to be forced into playing), his objective simply aligning with the rest of the class' desires and the whole trope is eventually subverted by Shuichi solving the case anyways.

The Three-Tailed Beast had been sealed inside her by agents of Kirigakure and intended for Rin to return to Konoha, where the beast would break out and rampage, destroying the village. Instead, when Kakashi tried to kill one of the Mist-nin pursuing them, Rin chose to save her village from this fate by putting herself in the way of his attack, which resulted in both she and the Sanbi (temporarily, in the Sanbi's case - Tailed Beasts cannot truly die, being living chakra, though they take some time to reform after their host dies with the beast still sealed in them) dying and thwarting Mist's plan. Cue Obito undergoing a Faceâ€“Heel Turn out of grief over her death, and the rest is history. Shisui Uchiha, in a roundabout way. He originally intended to use his mangekyou sharingan to prevent the Uchiha Clan's coup via genjutsu. However, Danzo stole one of his eyes, ruining his plan. With that no longer a viable option, Shisui gave his other eye to Itachi and committed suicide so Itachi could gain the mangekyou sharingan and prevent the coup himself. Because of the nature of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, which allows its user to seal any soul at the cost of their own, both the Third and Fourth Hokage pull this off.

The two of them were the best of friends, until, shortly after the game starts, he goes missing in an attempt to avenge the death of their mother. It's these events that kick off the game's plot. Three years later, Lucas starts on his adventure to pull seven "needles" scattered all over his home island in order to save the world. Porky, the Big Bad happens to be after them as well, in order to ''destroy'' the world, and is using the mysterious, masked commander of his army to do so. Many, many hours of gameplay later, after the Big Bad has been sealed away for all eternity, Lucas and the Masked Man face each other in front of the final needle. The Masked Man is revealed to actually be Claus, with no memories or sense of identity, under the command of Porky. After one of the most painful "I Know You're In There Somewhere" Fights in all of fiction, Claus slowly remembers who he is and electrocutes himself. The worst part is that we don't know for sure if this was a Heroic Suicide or not. While it's very possible he did it to free himself from Porky's control, it's also equally possible he simply did it because he realized all the wrong he's done against his will.

In the end, Pete decides to step in front of the car that was supposed to hit him, sacrificing himself to restore history to normal and bring back everyone that had been consumed. In "The Waters of Mars", the Doctor changes history to rescue someone doomed to die, which causes him to go totally A God Am I with megalomania. The woman he rescued kills herself in order to stop him, after which he snaps out of it. The Doctor's death in "The Wedding of River Song" fulfills the necessity condition, if not the sufficiency one. Far from avoiding his fate, he literally has to talk his assassin into killing him (in part by marrying her) in order to prevent time-breaking paradoxes. It turns out he actually just fakes his death, but for a minute or two it looks like he might actually be gone for good. In "The Angels Take Manhattan", when Rory learns that his future is fixed and that he will be sent back in time by an Angel and live out his life in one of the Winter Quay rooms, he decide to jump off the building (joined by Amy, who refuses to live without him), creating a paradox that should kill all the Angels.

After the world is saved from time freezing to a stand-still which created a Bad Future thanks to the protagonists, Azuril goes through a nightmare that he can't wake up from which Cresselia states is caused by the space-time distortions that are created by the heroes who dabbled with time to save the world. She says that they must "disappear" to stop the distortions which would end up destroying the world; the partner character was beginning to wonder if they should do as she said, but the player character convinces them to think of another way out. It eventually turns out that "Cresselia" was actually a disguised Darkrai who was lying to them about the distortions and planned on the heroes dying to get themselves out of the way of its plan to puts the world's inhabitants into an eternal nightmare.

In the fake world he created to build up Riki and Rin's strength, whenever he sleeps he finds himself at the moment of the crash and desperately tries to drag himself over to the oil leak so he can block it with his body before it catches fire and explodes, killing everyone. However, whenever he wakes up his position is reset. The day he finally reaches the leak, he realises what he has to do: reset his starting position. Since that is based on the moment he died, he needs to kill himself here so when he wakes up the next time he'll start there and be able to block it, saving everyone. He does it without hesitating, and it works.

To save him the pain of the choice, she gives a rousing speech and jumps from the cliff herself. Notably, her actions and final words touch even the enemy army, to the point where most of their troops decide to go Screw This, I'm Outta Here. This can be subverted if the player chooses to unlock the Spotpass chapter where you recruit her. Somehow she manages to survive the fall and ends up on a distant island, albeit with amnesia. You can recruit her in the Spotpass chapter that you meet her, if she doesn't die during the battle. In the Sacrifice ending of the game, this happens again. Because the Avatar is the perfected vessel of Grima, if s/he is the one who lays the final blow to him instead of Chrom (who can only seal the Dark Dragon for a millenia before it raises again), Grima will be banished forever... but the Avatar will be erased from existence in exchange.

She was designed with everything she would need to restart the planet after the Faro Plague ate all life—including a subfunction called HADES that would undo the terraforming if she made a mistake since she's too much of an All-Loving Hero to give up on even an obvious failure. She did in fact get it right on the first try, and everything was mostly going fine for a thousand years, until an outside signal caused HADES to activate unnecessarily. Since she had no way to actually stop him from taking control of the terraforming system and resetting everything (which would, in addition to killing millions of people, have been the final end of life since all the genetic stocks were depleted), she detonated her primary facility, leaving nothing for him to control. She also had a different facility begin making a clone of her creator, who would be able to bypass genetic locks and eventually reboot GAIA. That, of course, is Aloy, the protagonist.

Heroic Suicide / int_f65f0362	comment	Mission to Mars: Woody, an astronaut, is blown off his spaceship too far out for retrieval. His wife tries desperately to save him, endangering herself doing so. At last he kills himself by taking off his helmet, rather than watch her make pointless attempts to save him, and possibly doom herself at the same time.

Heroic Suicide / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 has many examples: 2.17 "Knives": Urza Jaddo, Londo's old friend, deliberately lost a duel with Londo to save his family from disgrace, as cultural expectations required that the victor absorb his opponent's house into his own after the duel. 4.20 "Endgame": Marcus Cole gave his life to save Ivanova using an alien machine that moves life force from one person to another. 5.18 "The Fall of Centauri Prime": Londo told G'Kar to kill him so Sheridan could escape Centauri Prime. Bonus points for having foreseen this decades before in a prophetic dream.

Heroic Suicide / int_f9b9dfe4	comment	Radiant Dawn has Pelleas, who, partway through the story, was crowned king of Daein, decides that he must commit suicide by proxy to save the country. He unwittingly signed a Blood Pact, a curse which, if invoked, will slowly kill a leader's subjects. The one at the reins of this curse is Lekain, who is using it to strongarm Pelleas into fighting a war. It is explained that a Blood Pact can only be broken if a signatory is killed by a third party, thus Pelleas cannot simply kill himself and needs either Micaiah or Tauroneo to do the deed. The trope is, however subverted - the death of one of the signatories by a third party is only one condition to end the pact. In addition to the death of one or both original signatories, the document itself must be destroyed to break the pact. On a New Game Plus, Micaiah may Take a Third Option by pointing out that breaking the pact requires the death of a signatory, but it doesn't say it has to be the party bound by the pact and thus neither she nor Tauroneo should kill the young king, essentially proposing that they instead break the pact by finding and killing Lekain, which does indeed happen over the course of the story, along with global events conspiring to make the terms of the pact irrelevant shortly after the discussion is held.

Heroic Suicide / int_fb83eb7b	comment	The Sword of Truth: Wizard's Life Fire can be this, when done to protect another person. It requires that a wizard put all of his life force into a spell that consumes everything surrounding them in a last act that also kills him. In the first book, Kahlan's former wizard does this to ensure that Darken Rahl cannot use magic to learn who has made off with a Box of Orden. Zedd tastes the ashes left on the wall and notes that they are sweet, the sign that it was done to protect another person. This is also the first indication they have that he was acting on some greater plan, rather than just abandoning Kahlan for the money and power of his new post. Zedd later attempts it to stop the chimes, but survives and is revived by Richard. In the prequel book Warheart, Barracus uses Subtractive Magic to insure a war wizard will be born when a dream walker is and counter it, then kills himself to keep the secret. In The Pillars of Creation Althea poisons herself to prevent not only her husband's suicide out of grief if he found her brutally murdered instead, but chose death to begin with rather than living when this would mean the Keeper winning.

Heroic Suicide / int_fbb719c5	comment	Constantine (2005): Angela Dodson's identical twin sister Isobel kills herself when she realizes that the Big Bad plans to use her as part of a ritual to release Hell on Earth. She sends a psychic message to Angela from beyond the grave to tell her to find Constantine and leaves a message for them so that they can stop the Big Bad from performing the ritual on Angela. Isobel gets extra points for not just dying, but voluntarily damning herself (a highly devout Catholic who had never done anything wrong to anyone) to an eternity of pain and suffering in the process. Then Constantine kills himself at the climax because he knows that the only being with both the power and the motivation to stop the ritual, Satan himself, will personally come up to claim him. After Mammon is stopped, Satan admits that he owes John a favor, which John uses not to extend his own life but instead to let Isobel get into heaven. However, because of his self-sacrifice, John's own soul is now redeemed as well. So with this one act, he is able to save both of them.
