Lifesaving Misfortune	comment	Misfortune is common in life. We suffer minor misfortunes like stubbed toes or accidentally dropping things. We suffer major misfortunes like broken limbs or loss of money. But sometimes, these misfortunes have an unexpected and lucky consequence: preventing us from a bigger misfortune, up to death (if not worse). For example, Alice is late for a meeting. She runs down the sidewalk to try to make it. She sees the bus about to leave and runs even faster. Unfortunately, she doesn't see the rock she then trips over. As she's picking herself back up, she sees the bus drive off without her. So, Alice waits for a taxi and takes that to her meeting. As she's riding the taxi, the driver has to take a detour due to an accident. Alice later finds out the accident was that the bus she almost boarded crashed with no survivors. Alice has just had a Lifesaving Misfortune. If she hadn't suffered the misfortune (missing the bus), she would have died (in the bus crash). Also see Unluckily Lucky and Serendipitous Survival. Often involves an inversion of Unwitting Instigator of Doom. Occasionally results in the affected character gaining a Disability Superpower. If this misfortune causes someone to end up saving the day, they've become an Accidental Hero. Also look at Spanner in the Works for when this "misfortune" winds up letting a character throw a wrench in someone else's plans that would have lead to actual misfortune. Subtrope of Necessary Fail. Compare Happily Failed Suicide. Saved by the Punishment is a specific subtrope, in which this trope occurs because of a penalty inflicted on the person saved. Subversion of Disaster Dominoes.

Wondering how in the world he did that, the note also reads that he spiked the Sultan's bath oils. The Sultan sighs in relief, saying he hasn't bathed yet. Cue Iago screaming since he was the one who used the bath oils earlier.

Unfortunately, despite Skipper saying there's plenty for all of them, he, Kowalski, and Private end up greedily gobbling up all of them and not letting Rico get even one. Unfortunately, it turns out that the herring had been too aged, causing the three to contract a rare brain disease that made them go fish crazy, with Rico being the only one to prevent them from eating any more fish for twenty-four hours in order to cure them.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_23d67c89	comment	The Hobbit: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has a variation. Bard's kids probably owe their lives to Bofur drinking himself into a stupor in Laketown. If he hadn't missed the boat, FÃli would be the one sent to find kingsfoil, leaving only the elderly Oin and the incapacitated KÃli to fight off the Orcs until Legolas and Tauriel arrived. In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, when the Master of Laketown and Alfrid flee on a large boat from Smaug, the latter complains that they are too heavy and too slow, so the Master tosses him in the water. Minutes later, Smaug's corpse falls on the boat, killing the Master, while Alfrid survives and becomes a Karma Houdini — for a couple of days, anyway. In the Extended Edition, he dies in a bizarre and humorous manner while trying to desert Dale during the battle.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_240f41ed	comment	In ABCâ€™s A Million Little Things one flashback event shows one of the Ensemble Cast Jon Dixon 17+ years before present time (2018) where he and his old college roommate Dave were flying from Boston to Los Angeles, but Jon stops to buy a bottle of wine last minute at the gift shop, which causes him to arrive at the gate mere seconds after the flight attendant closes the gate door and she adamantly refuses to let him board. He calls Dave (already on the plane) to inform him heâ€™ll have to catch the next flight. Said missed flight was American Airlines 11 that flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. When the news plays on the gateâ€™s TV, he and the flight attendant can only share a shocked, wordless glance to each other.note Notably they then show her name tag, Sophie, the same name as Jonâ€™s yet-to-be-born daughter.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_261c8d3f	comment	In The Simpsons: In the episode "Boy Scoutz N The Hood", Homer loses the map and gets himself, Bart, and the Flanderses lost at sea. As bad as this is, it turns out to have saved their lives since the campers who went on the "correct" path were attacked by mountain men, a bear, and finally a slasher villain lurking in a campground. In the episode "Itchy and Scratchy Land", the Simpsons go the titular Disneyland copycat and cause mischief to the point that Bart and Homer get arrested by park security, which Marge considers the most embarrassing experience of her life (so far), to the point she even orders the family Let Us Never Speak of This Again at the end of the episode. But when the park animatronics go murderously berserk and the family is left behind to die, they are able to fight them off and be the heroes of the day. If they had gone to the park sanctuary as Marge wanted, the Simpsons would have been just another handful of casualties of the birds breaking free and attacking everybody.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_310d6df7	comment	In Stand Still, Stay Silent, the Denmark portion of the Just Before the End prologue focuses on an executive who gets stuck in the island of Bornholm after the country suddenly closes down all national and international boat traffic to keep The Plague from spreading. His Mean Boss, who was mad at him for taking the trip because it was happening too close to an important meeting, fires him on the spot by phone. The first Encyclopedia Exposita from After the End describes the nations that still exist. The document reveals that Denmark is among them, but that it now consists only of Bornholm island. That executive from before? The Medic of the main cast is his great-grandson. To top things off, said great-grandson is implied to have had the same happen to him, by being fired from his front-line position in the Danish army shortly before said frontline was annihilated in an attempt to reclaim Kastrup.

'Meol', a type of Impossibly Delicious Food, is handed out for the people of Gatetown to sustain themselves on, and is a staple of Eulmoran cuisine as well. In addition to having no skills of his own to get in with, Kai-Shirr rarely gets his hands on a serving of meol when it gets handed out. When the Warrior of Darkness and Alphinaud come across him, they give him a means to get inside, only for it to go wrongnote Alphinaud blames his lack of foresight; Kai-Shirr insists he bungled it up and end with him escaping from Eulmore with a bloody arm. Seven levels of Main Scenario later, the Warrior of Darkness and friends return to Eulmore and discover that meol is made of sin eater, the Light Is Not Good variety of Eldritch Abomination that serves as the main antagonists of the expansion. In addition to the already-horrifying implications of the fact that many a sin eater Was Once a Man, the ruler of Eulmore has the power to control sin eaters, which they soon discover extends to people who have partaken of sin eater flesh. The only people spared Vauthry's control are the newest arrivals to Gatetown, who took longer to be affected and weren't affected as strongly, and Kai-Shirr.

Meanwhile, Erica's son Henry goes missing, and she asks Gary to help look for him. Gary realizes that his death by drowning is reported in the newspaper below the car accident, and decides to send Patrick and Marissa to the freeway while he and Erica intercepts Henry at the river. Without a fast means to get there, they steal a car, to the fury of its owner, who needs to get to an important business meeting. After they are able to rescue Henry (with the help of the police), the car's engine burst into flame. It turns out that the car's owner was going to use the freeway to go to his business meeting and that it was his car that would have caused the accident (something that the cops point out to keep the upset man from pressing charges).

However, if he'd lasted longer, he'd have faced Alexandra (who's infinitely more powerful) in a duel. That being said, everyone is convinced that a Cheated Death, Died Anyway fate awaits him once the third task starts.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_52cffcc	comment	Harry Potter from If Wishes Were Ponies finds himself beaten within an inch of his life in Little Whinging by his cousin Dudley and his cronies and on the verge of dying. Due to the crappy life he's forced to live: having to put up with other adults and authorities instantly believing the Dursleys' slander of Harry being a troublemaker and other kids treating him as a Scapegoat had left Harry a highly-suicidal messnote The result of the Geas that Dumbledore placed on Harry to protect him from Voldemorts' followers thinking that as Harrys' relatives; Vernon and Petunia would be able to care for him. It is when he wished to be far away from his life that he met all the right conditions to pass through a Tree-based Portal that he fell through which deposited him in The Land of Equestria; where after he was sent to the hospital and made friends with the Cutie Mark Crusaders he was able to get a much better life as a normal Unicorn Colt living in Ponyville with Twilight Sparkle as his caretaker eventually becoming his mother.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_5a3533fe	comment	My Name Is Earl: One of Earl's misdeeds involves siphoning gas out of a Yugo he found in someone's driveway. After he repays the man by buying him more gas, he discovers he was inadvertently saving his life. The man was suicidal and repeatedly tried to kill himself with the car's exhaust fumes. But since Earl repeatedly siphoned his tank, he kept running out of gas before it could take effect. He previously thought that running out of gas was a sign from God that he should stop trying to kill himself, but goes right back to trying after discovering it was Earl's doing. Another episode has Earl making up to a priest he had wronged, only to discover that another item on his list is actually about the priest as well (though he didn't know it at the time). And then another. And then another. Unfortunately for Earl, this particular priest was formerly a violent gangster who turned over a new leaf after finding faith, and he gets progressively angrier at Earl every time he's revealed to have caused yet another misfortune in his life. Eventually, he snaps and reverts to his gangster persona, intent on killing Earl. It's then that Earl recognizes the priest's truck from the list. He had broken the taillight on it once. The priest immediately stops trying to kill Earl, explaining that the cops had pulled him over for that broken taillight on the way to a deal. Later, he learned that the deal had gone sour and turned into a brutal shootout that killed his entire gang, which would have included him if he had been there. Believing divine intervention had saved him, this event was what had inspired his faith and turned him towards priesthood. In gratitude, he forgives Earl for all of his wrongdoings against him, as Earl had more than made up for them by saving his life.

The guy gets stuck in the one bedroom with a bathroom door that sticks- which then clears him as a murder suspect because he's able to prove the killer didn't know how to open it properly. He winds up framed for murder, but is saved at the last minute by being dropped into a garbage dump, et cetera. Junko provides a demonstration in the anime's Despair Arc by tossing a wrench at Makoto's head- only for him to immediately slip on a piece of paper and fall on his ass, looking like a real doofus but dodging the wrench without even knowing it was there.

A handful of people survive a disaster where they should have died because some dudes/gals have a crazy premonition and do something that is seen as a hindrance to them at first, but is lifesaving in hindsight. For instance: In the first movie, the guy with the vision gets into a fight with a jock, both are escorted out of the plane alongside the former's best friend, the latter's girlfriend, and another student who chooses to believe the guy's vision, then a teacher gets off as well to pacify them, and a student who is late checking in does not board the plane at all because of the commotion blocking his way. As a result, the seven end up becoming the only survivors of the plane when it crashes. In the third film, two kids who nearly board the fateful rollercoaster ride are ejected out because they don't fit the height limit. As a result, they are written off of Death's List completely.

Following the concert, Jimmie, Stevie Ray, and Jimmie's wife Connie were initially offered seats aboard a helicopter leaving the venuenote the venue had a parking lot notorious for bottlenecks and delays, so it wasn't uncommon for artists to arrange transportation by helicopter to avoid having to battle the logjams, but they arrived at the helicopter takeoff point to find that there was only one seat available, rather than the three they had been told to expect. Stevie Ray was eager to get back to the hotel and Jimmie didn't want to leave Connie behind or vice-versa, so the brothers agreed that Stevie Ray would take the one remaining seat, while Jimmie and Connie stayed back to wait for a later flight (which wouldn't be for several hours). The helicopter in question crashed due to pilot error less than a mile from the takeoff point, and everyone aboard, including Stevie Ray, was killed on impact.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_8dfbdff2	comment	Law & Order sometimes uses this trope: In season 6's "Jeopardy", all of the employees of a small independent online magazine are brutally murdered, save for the lone survivor who was only spared due to his own order of Chinese food making him sick and he was in the bathroom while the murders happened. In season 11's "Hubris", four people are killed execution-style in a jewelry store. The manager finds the bodies when she arrives the following day; she wasn't there at the time of the murders because she had to call out of work to care for her sick mother. Also in season 11, "Brother's Keeper" has a security guard at a golf course fall asleep on the job and fail to prevent a murder on the premises. He gets fired, but if he'd been awake and tried to intervene, he probably would have been killed too. A season 13 episode, "The Ring", has the Victim of the Week's boss, a stockbroker who worked in the 89th floor of the World Trade Center, be spared from the attacks due to having root canal surgery. She then remarks "How many people can say that their dentist saved their life?" In "Enemy" in season 15, a gangster steals a shipment of heroin from a drug den, and kills everyone present (including several teenage girls buying drugs) so as to leave no witnesses. The only survivor is a girl who wasn't shot because she'd collapsed from an overdose before the arrival of the killer - who presumably thought she was already dead. In season 19's "Pledge", a 12-year-old boy named Eric Foley and his friend Todd try to play Madden NFL on the former's Xbox despite that Eric is only allowed to play video games on the weekend. The Foley's housekeeper Grazinya is present due to a change in her work schedule and says she will have to inform Eric's parents he is playing video games behind their back, which Eric sadly obeys. The disappointment causes Todd to leave Eric's place due to them not going to play video games. Afterward, Eric and Grazinya are murdered. When Todd is questioned by Lupo and Bernard about the murders at school, he immediately realizes that had he not left he would have been killed as well.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_8e8ed866	comment	Sometime before the pilot episode of Knight Rider, police officer Michael Long suffers a head injury requiring a metal plate. When his partner betrays him, she shoots him in the head and leaves him for dead. The bullet is deflected by the metal plate. It doesn't do any damage to his vital organs, but his face is severely damaged. Plastic surgery makes him look like David Hasselhoff and he becomes Michael Knight, the show's protagonist.

Calleigh follows and confronts him just before he is about to secretly meet with the state attorney Rebecca Nevins. It ends with them tensely parting ways, but just before he reaches the meeting spot Delko turns back to go after Calleigh, making him just far enough away when a bomb explodes mere seconds later at the spot, killing Nevins. Eric states during the aftermath that had Calleigh not confronted him he would have been killed too. In addition, the evidence he was about to give Nevins ended up being beneficial information for the team towards the case about who has been framing them for misconduct all season.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: In the Baratie arc, the reason the remaining one hundred pirates of Don Krieg's armada (including Krieg himself) survived their initial journey into the Grand Line is because a horrible storm struck their flagship, the Dreadnought Sabre — which prevented Dracule Mihawk from slicing them into pieces like the other forty-nine ships in the fleet. The Sabaody arc ends with the Straw Hats being taken out one by one by Bartholomew Kuma, but what they don't realize at first is that he was actually saving them, sending them from a place where they would almost certainly die to several far-off locations where they could recuperate, and in Luffy's case, also give him a chance to rescue Ace. In a flashback to Robin's Dark and Troubled Past, the citizens of her hometown Ohara refuse to let her board the evacuation ship meant to spare them from the destruction of the island by a Buster Call. However, then vice-admiral Sakazuki blows up the evacuation ship to make sure no scholar escapes with forbidden knowledge. If the citizens hadn't been such jerks and had let Robin board the ship, there would have been no survivors.

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In the PokÃ©mon series, a PokÃ©mon can only be inflicted with one of a certain category of status ailments at a time. This can lead to some situations where your PokÃ©mon being inflicted with a less harmful status can be beneficial because it makes them immune to another more harmful status, especially if the PokÃ©mon has an Ability or moveset that negates one or more of the status effects. Statuses in the aforesaid category include: Paralysis - cuts Speed in half and randomly prevents the afflicted PokÃ©mon from acting Burn - cuts Attack in half and eats 1/16 of the afflicted PokÃ©mon's HP every turn Poison - eats 1/8 of the afflicted PokÃ©mon's HP every turn, no other effects Bad poison - eats 1/16 of the PokÃ©mon's HP on the first turn, 2/16 on the second turn, 3/16 on the third... Sleep - PokÃ©mon is unable to act for a random turn count (between 1-7 depending on the generation) Frozen - PokÃ©mon is unable to act, with a 20% chance to be freed each turn; will be freed if struck by a Fire-type move This can lead to such boons as: A paralyzed PokÃ©mon being spared damage from poison or burn (Speed decrease can be negated by Quick Feet) A burned PokÃ©mon taking less damage than they might from poison or bad poison (Attack decrease can be negated by Guts and does not affect Special Attack) A sleeping PokÃ©mon having a maximum inactive turn count rather than the random turn count of freezing (the moves Snore and Sleep Talk can only be used while sleeping) A poisoned PokÃ©mon always being able to act (Magic Guard negates damage from status conditions)

Lifesaving Misfortune / int_a4ff8e01	comment	Fate/Grand Order: At the beginning of the game, Ritsuka Fujimaru falls asleep during the orientation lecture at Chaldea Security Organization, angering the Director and prompting her to kick them out of the mission to Singularity F. The mission departure is sabotaged with explosives, killing or incapacitating all other Master candidates. This also saves Dr Roman's life, as he wastes time talking to them after they head back to their room, making him late for the meeting where he would have otherwise been blown up with the rest of Chaldea's leadership. It becomes doubly-lifesaving when it is revealed in the SE.RA.PH Story Arc that prior to Chaldea's organized effort to deploy the Masters into an army to tackle the Singularities, Chaldea dabbled in experiments on Master candidates in their private oil rig. Experiments which, when the player finally sees it, had left the facility a killing ground for almost 200 personnel. It was one of the previous Director of Chaldea, Marisbury's greatest and horrifying secrets for a man supposedly dedicated to helping humanity. Combine this with the backstory of the protagonist, that they only became a Master candidate because they were broke and needed money, so they applied to a part-time job they found only to be the last Master of Chaldea to save the world. The fact that they were broke at that moment instead of before or after saved them from being a mere statistic for Chaldea's effort to save humanity.

Many decades later, this saves him when he is visited by the immortal serial killer Adam, who immediately notes the "tattoo" on his arm. As Adam himself was experimented on by Dr. Mengele during the war, concentration camp survivors are the only people he will never harm.

While a lot of his crew mates died, Gin himself survived and the incident is what eventually led him to stop following Don Krieg, whose ego would've led to him Bullying a Dragon and gotten them all killed before they even had a chance to think about entering the New World, even if they hadn't ran into Mihawk.

Upon receiving the lamp from Aladdin, Jafar was going to give him his "eternal reward", only for Abu to bite him and make him drop the pair back into the collapsing cave, which they were able to survive thanks to Carpet. At the same time, Abu managed to swipe the lamp back from Jafar just before it closed up, initially keeping Genie out of his hands for a while.

When his wife attempts to dispose of him the same way she did her first, the meat is too soft to kill him, and she is caught red-handed. (Note that this, which is announed by Hitch in the post-episode roundup, is a sop to Moral Guardians; the original story simply ends after the original killing and there's no hint that she's going to remarry.)

It was because the three failed that they were spared from getting turned into plaster statues. The Monster of the Week was using the princess training classes as a trap to lure out Sailor Moon, accurately anticipating that the real Sailor Moon would be too much of a ditz to pass the class. Hilariously and more insulting for Usagi, both Rei and Minako noted that the youma has a good strategy.

Thanks to Meg, the bus leaves without her, and she has to catch a ride on Weevil's bike. Not too far ahead, however, they find out that the bus went over a cliff, killing everyone inside it except Meg (who also dies several episodes later, of lingering injures from the crash and childbirth complications). During the second season, it's discovered that Woody Goodman molested several of the players on the softball team he managed. Keith assists in tracking him down and arresting him, but Sheriff Lamb refuses to let him join them on the plane back to Neptune. This ends up saving Keith's life when Cassidy Casablancas blows up the plane.

Ballister tricks the Director into giving an Engineered Public Confession to someone who she thinks is Ambrosius (actually a disguised Nimona, who can't be harmed), banking on the fact that the Director will admit her true feelings if she thinks there's no chance anybody else will hear. Sure enough, the Director gives a Motive Rant after stabbing "Ambrosius" without regret, giving the duo exactly what they need to damage the public's faith in the Institute. Seconds after they leave, the actual Ambrosius storms into the room the exact same way, only to be met with an angry growl from the Director before he can apparently ask the same question, greatly implying that if they hadn't put their plan into action first, Ambrosius would have died for real.

However, just as Glen was about to give Tigre the virus, he happened to win five hundred grand; just enough to pay off the loan. Unluckily for him, Tigre had a much bigger debt of his own to mob boss Bruto Cadaverini, which he couldn't pay off with "just" 500k. So Tigre resorted to killing Glen and stealing the virus from him. Glen's luck at winning at the lottery led to his death, something that The Judge lampshaded as being tragically ironic.

She was diagnosed with a brain tumor shortly before Sword Art Online's launch day, and couldn't participate. Unfortunately, her tumor was the type that had a 70% chance of killing her, whereas "only" 40% of the players in SAO died. Merida became desperate to get into SAO so that if she died, she could at least help her friends, but luckily, Yuuki and Ran talked her out of it. Sadly, Merida eventually died of her tumor anyway, and her friends' fates are unknown.
