Nobody Can Die	comment	Sometimes, nobody can die, even when it seems like they should. Unlike Never Say "Die", they're allowed to use the words "kill" and "die", but for whatever reason no one ever actually does any killing or dying. It's not Amusing Injuries — the situations faced by the characters are presented as realistically dangerous and the threat of injury or death is definitely present. Nor is it simply Plot Armor — when Nobody Can Die, even the lowliest mook is seemingly immortal. It simply seems to be a law of physics that no situation can result in the death of a person — gunshots leave people injured but alive, explosions cause lots of property damage but never seem to happen with people in the blast radius, and the worst thing that can happen to characters in general is a Non-Lethal K.O. Note that, since talking about death is allowed, there may be references to characters that have died in the past, but onscreen deaths are still verboten. Nobody Can Die is a compromise between Anyone Can Die, which can be upsetting to younger or more sensitive audiences, and Never Say "Die", which can seem childish even to children. It is occasionally imposed upon writers by Executive Meddling; in these cases, expect them to try Getting Crap Past the Radar. Only Evil Can Die is the next level of compromise, where death only takes characters the audience are meant to think deserve it. Compare and contrast Non-Lethal Warfare, where the combatants are deliberately using non-lethal weaponry, rather than the lack of deaths seeming to be a happy coincidence. Also compare Everybody Lives. The difference between that trope and this one is that Everybody Lives generally applies to just one book or season where the others can have high fatality counts, whereas in this trope, people never die. Not to be confused with Death Takes a Holiday, which is when death is literally impossible because The Grim Reaper is no longer on the job.

Nobody Can Die / int_2af4f467	comment	G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero made a painful point of this. Every time a jet exploded, the pilot would always escape with a parachute, even if it was a faceless mook. Somehow, this happened with destroyed helicopters. In the "Worlds Without End" two-parter, we see the skeletonized remains of the Alternate Universe versions of Steeler, Clutch, and Grunt — but that's the closest brush with death the series takes. Writer Buzz Dixon has said that while the studio wouldn't let anyone die in a TV show about soldiers, he did make sure that in any episode he wrote, somebody would get seriously injured, to give kids at least some idea that war is not fun and games. In one particularly egregious example, Lady Jaye shoots a pair of Cobra pilots to steal their uniforms and helmets. The scene then cuts to the two pilots Bound and Gagged in their Goofy Print Underwear, with absolutely no injuries whatsoever.

The only exception is if and when said death can be done in a funny way (and the character will usually come back later anyway).

Nobody Can Die / int_3558eaa2	comment	Community parodies the G.I. Joe stable in the Parody Episode, "G.I. Jeff", where Jeff hallucinates himself and the rest of the cast being members of G.I. Joe. In a unrepresented move for a G.I. Joe character, Jeff actually kills Destro, by shooting his parachute to pieces when he attempts the usual Villain: Exit, Stage Left, a move which greatly shock and upset the other members of G.I. Joe, who court martial him for murder. Trying to defend himself at the trial, Jeff lampshades the original show's use of Status Quo Is God by arguing that G.I. Joe's refusal to risk killing the operatives of a major terrorist organisation means that the war with them is just going to keep going on forever, which kind of makes G.I. Joe just as bad as Cobra. Things escalate later in the episode, where Jeff attempts to lie down suppressive fire, but accidentally ends up shooting and killing a whole squad of Cobra operatives as well as inadvertently setting the G.I. Joe medic, Lifeline, on fire, causing him to burn to death. These actions eventually lead Cobra and G.I. Joe to see Jeff as the biggest threat against them both, culminating in them pulling an Enemy Mine on him and forming the organisation "Jo-Bra" in an attempt to stop him from killing more people.

People should be dying left and right but every single time, the film's powers that be go to the outrageous lengths needed to contrive the deadly threats somehow to always have non-lethal consequences.

Occasionally the writers will lampshade the trope with things like the monster saying "I hate empty buildings!" before smashing, or the Rangers remarking that he's in the "warehouse district". The Monster of the Week died, of course, but even then it would often turn back into the components it was made from (such as a still living pig or inanimate objects). This is not the case with all series. As they progressed, it became notably more dark, and major characters did indeed die, good and bad.

Nobody Can Die / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe mentions or implies many deaths from a civil war in the distant past, gem colonization, and Homeworld's brutal regime, and the title character's mother effectively died giving birth to him. However, in the timeframe of the show, the only two characters that die (Lars and Jasper) are resurrected in the same episode. Mostly this is because all gems, even the monsters, can regenerate from any injury that doesn't damage their Heart Drive, and the few villains that attempted to do so are stopped. The only (semi)-intelligent lifeforms we see permanently die are some of Steven's plant creatures. Unlike most cartoon examples, the show's crew were allowed to show death, but choose not to—the showrunner even twice specified that characters taken away by Homeworld were not going to be executed.

Nobody Can Die / int_90b916ba	comment	For most of Batman: The Animated Series, they could only unambiguously kill a character if the plot was some sort of murder mystery. Joker episodes got around this by suggesting Joker venom was sometimes curable, but seldom curing it on-screen after the first time. This is also why Scarface is always destroyed in the most gruesome way as the writers were allowed to "kill" a puppet. Any time a character was knocked off a building or off an aircraft, it would always show them surviving the fall. Rather than give anyone parachutes however, it would always have the mooks falling into an ocean or other large body of water, then surface alive and well. Even if they were falling somewhere in the middle of a crowded city, they'd always be lucky enough to have a swimming pool right under them, or to bounce off an awning. The end result is that it doesn't seem that Batman could care either way whether a henchman lives or dies, or is just so good that he knew they'd be fine. From Superman: The Animated Series onward, the DC Animated Universe was allowed to show or imply characters died, sometimes quite brutally.

Nobody Can Die / int_aa77c796	comment	Ebott's Wake: Despite numerous people sustaining serious injuries and getting into life-threatening confrontations, the only one who ever dies in the present is Frisk, who doesn't really count. There's a vague implication that this is because Frisk is so Determined and cares so much about everybody that sequences of events that lead to people dying are simply forbidden from happening.

That is until it was revealed that the Gardener is responsible for making this happen in the first place. Counting the numerous years prior where no traffic-related deaths have been reported.

Nobody Can Die / int_bb467262	comment	Asterix. Death is always a threat and characters try to kill each other not infrequently, but Mooks just get Amusing Injuries (by the thousands), more seriously injured or sick characters get better or get saved, and only one character in the entire run does anything close to dying (the Optio in Obelix All At Sea is Hoist by His Own Petard after giving himself a Phlebotinum Overdose that turns him to stone). However, there are a few possible, unconfirmed casualties that happen offscreen, mostly courtesy of a rather displeased Caesar or Centurions by way of sending them to be Eaten Alive by the lions at the circus.

Nobody Can Die / int_becb80d	comment	KanColle, perhaps due to it mashing together Slice of Life and War Arc themes that clash against each other, winds up not killing off anyone despite stresses being made about the situation being a dire nature. In fact, only one character dies and another character has their fate questioned.

First he causes a plane crash, and the passengers shout "we're all okay!" before the plane explodes, then he accidentally gets Lawyer Friendly Cameos of the DC Heroes Thrown Out the Airlock, and comments, "It's a good thing there's plenty of air out in space! Wait, no there's not."

Nobody Can Die / int_dcbfeeee	comment	Little Witch Academia (2017) has its fair share of perilous situations—including a stone-breathing cockatrice in the first episode and a magical illness that turns people into moss—but other than the dragon in the original OVA and a love-inducing bee in the TV series, no living creatures ever die in it. This is partially brushed off by a comment that witches are notoriously difficult to kill, but not all of the characters are witches. It does acknowledge that humans can die when the heroes visit a cemetery and accidentally reanimate a corpse, but no one dies during the course of the story.

Nobody Can Die / int_f4824ee8	comment	Kuukiyomi: The whole series can be considered as this if you exclude the inferred/offscreen deaths like the punk rock vocalist's speech about his grandpa/grandma passing away at his concert (however, it's zigzagged since this speech sometimes doesn't appear due to randomizations), the 99th situation of the first game where C-Ko dies offscreen in the hospital (but subverted after Word of God confirms that C-Ko survives in the sequel), a cow gets turned into a steak in the third game and the existence of zombies and ghosts. Only the third game Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More!! - Father to Son plays this trope straight, where the main narrative is mostly about how the player protagonist grows up, interacts with her friend, finds a job, meets her boyfriend and finally gets married and have a child.

Nobody Can Die / int_fa5e90fd	comment	The MMORPG City of Heroes/City of Villains uses this to justify character respawning. Instead of dying, characters are "defeated" and teleported to the nearest hospital to recover. Likewise, the enemies are teleported to jail before they can be killed... most of the time. In City of Heroes, anyway. Unsurprisingly, the Rogue Isles are a bit less accommodating towards supervillain victims.
