You have a group of protagonists, one of whom has been injured or disabled. Either that person is literally slowing the group down, or Someone Has to Die. Naturally, the "damaged" party member volunteers to sacrifice themselves and/or be left behind: after all, being permanently injured is a Fate Worse than Death and well... They'll just slow them down. The situation will be handled differently, depending on who the other characters in the group are. A heroic character will of course insist that No One Gets Left Behind and will do what they can to help the injured party, and will even have them evacuated first if an opportunity arises. Characters of more anti-heroic persuasions, and especially if they are a Pragmatic Hero or The Spock, will note that the injured character is right and have few, if any, qualms about following their request. The latter situation can also be played for laughs, where the injured character didn't actually mean for the others to leave them behind and was trying to be dramatic, or the others simply run without skipping a beat, or they take the injured character's request literally, or even all-of-the-above. A Super-Trope of No One Gets Left Behind, and a Sub-Trope of Heroic Sacrifice. Often used in a More Hero than Thou dispute and may involve Crisis Catch And Carry if the person's solution includes dragging the injured party along. Often leads to You Shall Not Pass!, Self-Destructive Charge, and It Has Been an Honor but also covers other situations such as quietly going off to die when no one's looking. This may make pragmatic sense when the character is already mortally wounded or unable to escape from an oncoming deadly threat. This can be a natural end to Your Days Are Numbered. Compare Doomed Hurt Guy. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples |

Terminator: The Terminator: Kyle Reese tries this, collapsing from his gunshot wound after Sarah Connor has dragged him into the factory. By this time in the movie Sarah has taken a level in badass, so she isn't buying it. Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Miles is mortally wounded, but stays behind to trigger the detonator that will destroy his research. |

In Betrayal at Krondor, whenever a party member gets "killed" in battle, they will tell the others to leave them. No matter how bad it is, they will invariably be told, word for word, that No One Gets Left Behind, and will remain in the party in a state of Near Death. | |

Transformers: Wings of Honor: Red Alert, Ultra Magnus and a bunch of other Autobots take on Devastator in a flashback (which is also a deleted scene from the movie). They blow the combiner apart, and then the Constructicons continue fighting, forcing the bots back. Red Alert is shot in the back and tells the others to continue. The Bots leave him, and the Cons march on past him as he expires. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: While trying to get Lalli's unconscious body to safety, Emil attracts the attention of trolls. Due to being in a situation enabling him to communicate with Emil, Lalli's spirit approves of his body being left behind if it can save Emil. The trope gets played with because Emil can't outrun trolls even when unburdened, so he might as well include Lalli's body in his alternate survival plan. | |

Done at least twice in Fullmetal Alchemist. First, Lan Fan when she is seriously injured by Bradley. Ling Yao manages to escape carrying her on his shoulder, but is being followed by Bradley and forced into a dead-end. She pleads for Ling to leave her so he can save himself, but Ling won't take shit like that. She ends up cutting off her own injured arm and using it to elude Bradley's tracking unit. After he got paralyzed, Havoc tearfully begged Mustang to leave him, since he won't be much help for Mustang anymore in military. Mustang complies... so Havoc can recover and join him later. Like above examples, he later proves his worth by smuggling weapons for Mustang and his men when the Promised Day is coming. |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: "Beast of the Temple": Linka gets her foot stuck during one of the dragon attacks, and when Wheeler can't pull it loose, she begs him to leave her and save himself. Unsurprisingly, he refuses. "A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste": Wheeler insists the others should go on without him after he injures his ankle during an escape attempt, snapping at them to leave him alone. Gi, of course, insists that No One Gets Left Behind. |

Attack on Titan: Eren's mother/Mikasa's Parental Substitute Carla Jaeger is gravely wounded and pinned underneath rubble. She pretty much orders her children to leave her there so they can escape. In a more realistic (and heartbreaking) version of the trope, poor Carla understandably freaks out at the thought of being all alone as the Titans get close to her, but then she makes sure to cover her mouth with her hands so her children won't listen to her "Please, Don't Leave Me". During the attempt to rescue Eren from the Armored Titan, a Titan snags Erwin from off his horse. He immediately demands that the rest of them advance and rescue Eren, though that doesn't stop a handful of Red Shirts from jumping in to save him. He survives, but not in one piece. |

When he protests, she deliberately exposes herself to the plague, condemning herself to a quick and certain death, so that he won't waste time and resources trying to save her. | |

In the Halloween episode of The Fairly Oddparents, Timmy and his friends (which include his godparents, since no one would recognize them as fairies with everyone in costume) visit the Buxaplenty Mansion to get candy. Instead they get dogs sic'd on them for not having nice costumes (that and the owner just a snotty jerkass) with Timmy tripping over his costume and telling his friends to go on without him. Without missing a beat or even turning around, they all yell, "Okay," and leave him behind, to which Timmy yells he was "being dramatic." | |

In the Knight Hunters Dramatic Precious Drama CD, Birman is captured and subjected to Mutilation Interrogation by La Mort. Weiss is ordered to kill her before she cracks and tells them everything she knows; when they protest, Manx reminds them that they're killers, not rescuers. When they find her alive, they decide to rescue her anyway, and she asks Aya for the gun he carries as a backup weapon, saying grimly that she's still got one finger to pull a trigger with. Aya gives it to her, apparently thinking she wanted to help cover their escape, but she explains the trope and shoots herself instead. | |

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV has two examples which mirror each other and involve the same people: In the opening, King Regis is carrying Noctis while also holding Lunafreya's hand as he tries to flee Niflheim's forces. The young Luna realizes he won't be able to get away at this pace and lets go of his hand, giving herself up to the Niflheim troops so that he and Noctis can escape. The result is that Lunafreya grows up a glorified prisoner of Niflheim, something that has haunted King Regis ever since. Later in the movie, Niflheim forces have invaded Insomnia, with General Glauca in hot pursuit of Nyx, Lunafreya, and Regis. As they flee, Lunafreya is holding the ailing Regis' hand. Just like how Lunafreya herself did years ago, Regis lets go and stays to confront their pursuer to buy the others more time to escape. The result is that Regis is slain by General Glauca. |

In the car chase scene at the beginning of Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, Ed is grabbed by Rolf by the latter's teeth when he begins pulling Ed out of the car. Ed tells Edd and Eddy to save themselves and not to forget him as he is dragged out of the car. However, his friends are having none of it, and promptly drag him back into the car and save him from Rolf's grasp. | |

In Fable III, when Walter and the Hero first arrive in Aurora, they encounter a creature known as the Crawler and Walter is left blind and injured. Knowing he's too weak to cross the desert in his current state, Walter tells the Hero to leave him behind, saying "I won't just slow you down, I'll get you killed." You're actually forced to leave him behind, but doing so at the first opportunity makes you an evil asshole. | |

Also played straight in PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2: all heisters not in custody need to be at the getaway point to leave, or the game doesn't end. Since they all get paid and out of jail if you win (small cash and exp penalties for in-custody allies), sometimes it's best to let a downed character bleed out, rather than go out to save them and risk losing. Unfortunately, the thirty-second timer is already in the process of slowing the leaving heisters down. | |

Molly of Denali: In "River Skate," Molly and Tooey try to teach Trini how to skate so they can all skate down the frozen river to the bonfire together. Trini is not so good at it, and eventually, she tells Molly and Tooey to go the bonfire without her because she’s too slow. Molly and Tooey won't have any of that, so they all skate together and make it to the bonfire. | |

Simon Minter's Deconstructive Parody tutorial on making horror films ends in a found-footage format that makes a scenario that has fellow Sideman Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123) telling Simon to leave without him as the killer (KSI) approaches. However, he's doing all this right in front of the door to freedom, and Simon ultimately abandons him. | |

Subverted in the first season two episode of Stargate SG-1 in which Daniel is badly wounded. Thinking that this will likely kill him anyway, he tells Jack to take the others and go on without him while he plans to stay behind and cover their escape. However he ends up meeting no resistance and instead hauls himself to a Goa'uld sarcophagus to get healed. | |

The three geologists in Letter Never Sent are desperately trying to escape the raging forest fire they're trapped inside. Andrei is injured, leaving Sabinin and Tanya to drag him across the difficult Siberian terrain. He tells them to leave him and they refuse, so he crawls away during the night and is never seen again. He leaves behind a note saying that it's better for one person to die than three. | |

In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a few examples: In "Move Along Home", during the Wadi's game (which the characters think is real), Dax is injured and tells Sisko and Kira to leave her. They refuse, and all three are "killed" (meaning nothing more than Quark losing the game). Injured Kira to Dax after the crash in "The Siege", but Dax takes her along anyway. Dax is bleeding to death in "Change of Heart" and is left behind by Worf to finish a mission. He ends up abandoning the mission and comes back for her. Humorous example in "The Ascent" when Quark hauls the injured Odo (during the period when he had become a "solid") up a mountain on a stretcher. When Odo protests, Quark emphasizes his reasoning: Odo's along for emergency rations; if he dies, he's food. Worf yells "Leave me!" to Ezri when he's shot as they try to escape the Dominion. She just tells him to shut up. A mortally wounded Eddington holds off a Jem'Hadar attack to let Sisko, Eddington's wife, and numerous refugees get to their ship and escape in "Blaze of Glory". Fitting for Eddington, as he previously saw himself as the hero of his own story. |

The Scholomance: Attempted on a strategic/long-term sense early in The Last Graduate, when El concluded it was vanishingly unlikely she could recharge the Power Crystal stash she had drained prematurely during the events of A Deadly Educationnote (were she willing to let a bunch of freshmen get slaughtered in her presence she would not have that problem, but she ain't so she does) to the point of pulling her weight when she and her allies Aadhya and Yi Liu made their desperate monster-infested dash for the Scholomance's exit at the end of the term, she confesses the situation to them and tries to talk them into 'ditching' her in time to throw in their lot with groups likely to survive Graduation Day where she was doubtful she was even going to last that long. | |

A variation in the Classic Traveller adventure Rescue on Galatea by FASA. During a rescue mission in enemy territory an NPC is wounded. The PCs hear a shot: when they arrive they find the NPC dead, killed by another NPC named Freeman. Freeman explains that he had to shoot the wounded NPC because he would have just slowed them down, or worse been forced to tell about the team's mission if captured. | |

Goosebumps (2015) parodies this, as shown in the current page quote. Stine, unable to fit through the narrow opening in a chained-up gate, suggests that the heroes go on without him. Champion agrees a little too eagerly, leading Stine to call him out, saying that he didn't really mean it. | |

In Until Dawn, Chris invokes this if he is with the group in the tunnels looking for Mike. Ashley can choose to let him rest or encourage him to keep going. If she chooses the former, it can result in Chris' death if Ashley followed Jess' voice in the tunnels and was decapitated by a Wendigo after opening the trapdoor. | |

Subverted in Forrest Gump — after his platoon is ambushed and decimated in Vietnam, a wounded Lieutenant Dan Taylor wants to be left behind to die so his surviving men can escape (one man from his family had fought and died in battle in every American war up until now, so he believes it's his destiny to do the same) but Forrest rescues him anyway. He's initially angry and bitter about losing his legs when he feels he should have died honorably on the field with his men, but eventually finds a new lease on life. | |

In an Ozzy & Drix episode, Ozzy and Drix are on Hector's scalp attempting to exterminate lice eggs. Ozzy, due to being a white blood cell, is wearing a suit not unlike a space suit so he doesn't coagulate. Inevitably, them killing all the eggs attracts the mother lice. During the ensuing chase, Ozzy's suit gets ripped, and he begins to coagulate. This exchange ensues when he starts to get too stiff to run. | |

In The Progenitor Chronicles, the MC sustains a crippling injury at the hands of Illumina and invokes this trope when telling the BSAA team, including Rebecca, to leave him in the base and evacuate – especially since there is an ongoing countdown before the Regia Solis destroys the city again. Rebecca has exactly none of it and runs back into the base to get him. | |

Tom tells Harry to leave him behind if necessary, but as they both start to crack up under the stress, Tom loses his bravado and begs Harry not to abandon him. Harry doesn't.

However, Gus has a person using a scrambler call Hank to give him a one minute head's up about the impending attack. So when Leonel appears behind his car and raises a gun, Hank floors his car in reverse and rams Leonel, knocking his gun out of his hands and crushing his legs against the back bumper of another car. When Marco catches up to Leonel, Leonel tells him, "Finish him." Marco goes off to attack Hank, shooting him four times, before Hank manages to kill him with a special "black death" bullet as he's preparing to finish Hank off with a chrome axe. Leonel's legs have to be amputated on arrival at the emergency room, and to guarantee he won't talk, Gus sends Mike to the hospital to poison him. | |

Left 4 Dead: Played straight and inverted in , where a struggling Survivor may encourage the rest to go on to the next safe room without them. Justified because Death is Cheap and they'll respawn in the safe room at the beginning of the next map. This is considered a valid tactic on the higher difficulties, since a dozen or more attempts may be needed to finish a campaign on Expert. Played absolutely straight with The Crossing in Left 4 Dead 2, as Bill does this for a Heroic Sacrifice. |

Main character Seiya attempts to pull this in Saint Seiya when he's under the effects of a poison-based technique and Shun can't fight his own Evil Counterpart properly, since one of his chains is wrapped around Seiya's arm to keep him from falling off a cliff. Seiya mentions this trope right before he uses his free hand to cut off the already-damaged chain and willingly throw himself off, which sends Shun into an Unstoppable Rage against his enemy. Luckily, Seiya lives to tell. Barely, but he does. | |
