When someone dies, and there is a young character for whom this is the first experience with death. They usually say something to the effect of "wake up" or "don't do that, when he wakes up…" Usually implies that the character believes or wants to believe the individual, often their parent, is only sleeping, when in fact, viewers are very aware they are dead. It's all the more heartbreaking when it's just after the two have escaped from the danger, just when you think everything's going to be okay... Even adult characters sometimes exhibit this behavior under stress, or when someone Too Good for This Sinful Earth dies. Truth in Television, sadly; most young children have difficulty understanding the finality of death and are terrified and confused when they discover people don't wake up sometimes, which does give a little credence to Media Watchdogs being cautious about death on television. Even adults who understand death can have this reaction from shock. Most people aren't personally familiar with seeing someone die, and even fewer are qualified to definitively determine signs of life. The most common outcome of And Call Him "George". Sometimes includes How Dare You Die on Me!. Contrast Talking to the Dead. If the person is unconscious or comatose and not dead, it's Converse with the Unconscious. If the person who sees the death snaps completely, it could develop into a case of Mummies at the Dinner Table. In cases of Comedic Sociopathy, someone's attempt to "wake" the dead may involve Poking Dead Things with a Stick. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Madoka begs Sayaka to wake up after Madoka snaps and throws her soul gem off the highway bridge and onto the top of a semi-truck, in a desperate bid to stop Sayaka from fighting Kyouko, and Sayaka collapses shortly afterward. Kyubey then reveals that a soul gem is actually a Soul Jar, and if taken too far from their owners, they will die. Luckily Homura, in a Big Damn Heroes moment, returns the gem. | |

Heartbreakingly rendered in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's "Loss" between Alex Cabot and Olivia Benson. Benson and Stabler are escorting Cabot, who is under a death threat from some particularly nasty Colombian drug dealers, when said dealers' mooks pull a drive-by shooting. Benson is the first to notice Alex laying mortally wounded on the sidewalk, and tries her best to stop the bleeding, all the while talking frantically in a futile effort to convince herself that Alex is going to survive: It's not okay at all, of course, as the next scene shows Benson's desk, atop which is her badge with a mourning band and a newspaper headline announcing what most of us already guessed. Then it turns out it IS, in fact, OK, but she has to remain "dead" in order to go into Witness Protection. The scene got worse during the final scene: it's all about Alex and Olivia, and everyone else fades into the background. They just look at each other for eons, and then Olivia says: |

X-23: At the end of Innocence Lost, Laura kills her mother in a chemically-induced berserker rage, just as they destroy and escape the Facility that bred her. As Sarah Kinney dies and tells Laura that she loves her, for a moment she stops being a weapon and is just a little girl again, hopelessly begging, "Please, Don't Leave Me", even after it's clear that Sarah has already died from her wounds. In a flashback to this same scene in Target X, Laura goes on to numbly ask what her next mission is. | |

In Morticia Cara Mia, which is a fanfiction of The Addams Family, Morticia goes into labour then climbs ups the stairs but is reduced to The Klutz due to contractions so she falls down the stairs and ends up unconscious and apparently dead with broken ribs and a cut on her forehead. Gomez thinks it's a trick God is playing to teach him that money can't replace everything and yells at Morticia and God to have Morticia be alive. It turns out she is alive. | |

Transformers: Wings of Honor: The comic two examples from the Battle Lines Arc. Outback's reaction to Ricochet's death. Sprocket is a Cloudcuckoolander and constantly talks to famous people, people who are deceased, imaginary people, and inanimate objects. It's all in his head and quite funny. When he and his brother Rumbler are shot, he's fine, but a panel shows the medics staring grimly at Rumbler's body, later pronouncing him dead. Sprocket's final appearance has him talking to an empty chair, still believing Rumbler to be alive. |

Bleach Episode 178: In a Flash Back to his mother's death, Ichigo remembers that he said: "Please wake up, Mommy!" Subverted in the pilot episode, where Orihime is saying this... to her own corpse, as she has just died after taking a big Staircase Tumble and her soul/conscience is still trying to process what the Hell just happened. Tsukishima possibly fits. He is none too happy when Ginjou falls in battle. He shouts at Ginjou not to die and calling his name, completely hysterical. Riruka finally has to yell at him that Ginjou is dead already and that he needs to accept it.It later turns into an How Dare You Die on Me! moment when Tsukishima stands in the woods crying at Ginjou's passing-asking repeatedly why Ginjou had to die on him. He screams to the skies that Ginjou taught him everything, except what to do in the event that he died. After Kenpachi mortally wounds Unohana, he cradles her and begs her to wake up. |

Beauty and the Beast (2017) actually shows the enchanted objects (temporarily) turning completely inanimate. It's already hard to watch, but to twist in the knife even further, just after Cadenza and Gaderobe become inanimate, their dog-turned-footstool, Frou-Frou, runs over and barks at them and paws at them, desperately trying to get a response out of either one of them, clearly not understanding what's happened... before Frou-Frou becomes inanimate, too. It's heartbreaking. (But, on the upside, the curse is broken a few minutes later and the now-human Cadenza and Gaderobe being reunited with their dog is adorable.) Around the same point in the film, after the Beast (temporarily) dies, Belle is reduced to weeping "Come back!" It's the film's tearjerker page's trope image for a reason. |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Awakening, whenever the Avatar dies (which is a Game Over), Chrom begins screaming "OPEN YOUR EYES!" In the Birthright path of Fire Emblem Fates, Keaton does this when one of his fellow Wolfskin is suddenly killed in the opening scene of Chapter 15. He begs them to get up and stop messing around before acknowledging that they're really dead. In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, if a character dies and another who's very close to him/her is still alive, some of their prospect reactions to their deaths fall into this: |

BoJack Horseman: Throughout the season three episode "That's Too Much, Man!", Bojack requests his friend and previous surrogate daughter, Sarah Lynn, break her nine-month sobriety streak (something she'd been waiting to break) so they could go on an 'epic bender.' She'd suggested at the beginning that they should go to a planetarium, the best place to trip. Bojack had other plans. It's Played for Laughs at first when she falls asleep and he nervously calls for her to wake up, causing a large "WHAT?" reaction. Soon after, she experiences a pseudo-breakdown over realizing she doesn't like anything about herself and, after around a month, he finally takes her to the planetarium. There, she confesses that she, someone who'd fantasized about being an architect since she was a young girl, actually just liked the planetarium due to the work that was put into building a dome. The old Bait-and-Switch is pulled as she falls asleep on his shoulder in the middle of him delivering an inspirational monologue. This time, she doesn't wake up. | |

Used somewhat disturbingly in the Redwall books: The Bellmaker: Three young woodlanders are found shipwrecked on an island by the heroes. The younger two children mention that the adult who was on the ship with them is also on the island. The oldest kid eventually reveals to the heroes that the hedgehog had died from a head injury quite some time ago, but he left the body in the tent and told the other two that they had to stay out of the tent because the hedgehog needed to sleep. This trope also occurs in Mattimeo, the third (in order of publication) novel in the series, which features a scene where a bankvole child vainly tries to rouse his murdered mother. Happens again in The Legend of Luke, with the squirrel Chugger and his granny. This actually reduces an otter to tears. Said otter is one of the most Sociopathic Heroes in the series, which says something. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: In the extended version of the film, Éomer rushing screaming to Éowyn's side and shaking her has all of the techniques. It's actually quite effective; Éomer is usually The Stoic, seeing him screaming wordlessly in grief is downright shaking. It does lead to a fantastic Roaring Rampage of Revenge in the book since it occurs mid-battle there. After successfully beating Shelob off him, Sam rushes to Frodo and tears off the webbing over his face, only for the other hobbit to remain unresponsive. With an increasingly broken voice, Sam begs his friend/master not to leave him, only to break down in tears as he concludes he was too late. Luckily, it turns out Shelob's venom just induces very deep unconsciousness. |

An episode of Full House has Michelle confronted with the news that her great-grandfather, whom she had just met the day before and became attached to almost immediately, passed away in his sleep. When the family breaks the news to her, she lashes out angrily in denial of the idea that he could possibly be dead after having known him for only a day. Worst of all, he had promised to visit her school for show-and-tell that day to teach her class a folk dance he had taught her earlier. | |

He ends up meeting Dr. Ivo's final creation, A.M.A.Z.O., who is patiently waiting for the Doctor to "wake up". Lex sees an opportunity and asks A.M.A.Z.O. to steal supplies (oh, and kill the League while you're at it) or he'll "go to sleep and not wake up, just like the Doctor". | |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Kamina, having risen up what could already almost qualify as a "Please Wake Up" moment already. With blood dripping down his face, he climbs back into the seat of his giant mech, rips off one of said mech's arms, and throws it at Simon, who is already in a premature Heroic BSoD. Cue Awesome Music, followed by Awesome Speech. Then explosions. Then a quieter awesome speech. Then more explosions (and drills). And then... | |

At the end of The Amazing Spiderman 2, after the fight with Green Goblin, when Spidey thinks he saved Gwen Stacy. He starts happily, then softly, then, when he realises something's wrong, imploringly, then he begs and finally breaks down completely. Made even more tearjerker-ish by the fact that viewers without keen eyes might think that Gwen actually made it...note It would seem that Spidey managed to catch her in time, but for a moment you can see that the back of her head actually hit the ground the moment he caught her... | |

Boris eventually overdoses on Bliss and collapses, leading Gi to declare him dead after failing to find a pulse. Linka initially denies it, claiming Gi is lying, and desperately shakes her cousin in an attempt to wake him up. When Wheeler gently reiterates the truth, it breaks her denial and she crumples to his chest, finally admitting how horrible the drug is. | |

Although she turned out to be alive, she was in a kind of magical coma and was thus about as responsive as a corpse anyway. He did a variation on this when Sirius died in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Sirius literally fell through the veil separating life and death, and Harry refused to believe Sirius is dead, instead insisting that he's okay and will step through the veil again. |

Supernatural: The ending of "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One" had a variation of this trope (in that of course Dean understands death, he just doesn't want his world to come crashing down around him) when Sam is dying in Dean's arms after being fatally wounded and Dean is in childlike denial: Another variation for Sam in "Mystery Spot". He's been stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop where he only wakes up after Dean dies every day. When it's a Wednesday and he believes they've defeated the Trickster, Dean is shot by a mugger (of all the things he could die from) and is dead even before Sam gets there. He says, pitifully, "I'm supposed to wake up" and starts crying but, unfortunately, it's for real this time. |

Once again, in Xena: Warrior Princess, when Xena and Gabrielle are caught in a war zone towards the end of Season One, Gabrielle's head injuries send her to the makeshift infirmary in a temple, where she languishes for some time unconscious before going into a seizure that ends all signs of life. Xena's reaction fills this trope perfectly, as she goes into literally violent denial that she could lose her best friend. Some time later, after desperately administering ancient Greek CPR while all spectators look on in silent grief, she completely loses it, and, sobbing, pounds on Gabrielle's chest with her fists, screaming, "Don't you leave me! Don't leave me, don't leave me! Wake up! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" She does. Ensue a shower of grateful tears and kisses. |

JOHN. RISE UP. Sort of a subversion, in that John did come back from the dead, but WV has no way of knowing that. In the Squiddles soundtrack... this is played for creepiness in The Day The Unicorns Couldn't Play Trailer. [After the unicorns disappear] "Mommy?

When the main character dies in Persona 3, your Mission Control will occasionally exclaim "Oh no, please wake up!" In addition, when the protagonist dies at the end of the main game, it's played as just being very tired and falling asleep. Only in The Answer from the Mission-Pack Sequel is it confirmed that he did, in fact, die. The other characters also thought he was sleeping, and by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late, and he was dead. Except for Aigis, who, judging by the tone of her voice and subsequent breakdown, was fully aware that the protagonist was dying. | |

In Night Watch (Series), a Dark mage is killed by a rogue Light Knight Templar, when he's enjoying dinner with his human family in a restaurant. This serves as a somewhat educative moment, as the sight of the mage's grieving wife and son trying to wake him up (the magic weapon leaves no traces and he indeed looks asleep) convinces the over-zealous rooky Night Watcher Svetlana that killing Dark Others indiscriminately would indeed bring more harm than good to people. | |

In the Vampire: The Masquerade core book, a short piece of fiction is told from the perspective of a young vampire who has recently drained his mortal girlfriend's blood and fed her of his own vampiric blood, hoping to turn her into another vampire so they can stay together forever. After half an hour without her giving any signs of life, he starts becoming increasingly desperate, wondering if something has gone wrong (it is implied that his blood might not be strong enough to successfully create a new vampire) and starts begging her cooling body to wake up. | |

Tali, in Mass Effect 2, during her loyalty mission, finds her father dead, due to the experiments he was conducting on geth and thus being responsible for Tali's predicament throughout her personal mission and keeps saying that he would have some way of faking the dead and there is no way he could have died. It takes a second for it to really sink in that he is dead. It is heartbreaking due of the fact that relations between the two are distant and revealing the truth to the Admirality Board will demonize Tali's father which Tali will not accept. In Mass Effect 3 some recordings of geth history are shown, including one of a pro-geth quarian resistor trying to protect geth platforms from quarian fighters who are sanctioned to eliminate the entire geth. The fighters activated an explosive that killed the resistor and damaged the geth. Cue "Creator Megara, what is your status? Creator Megara?" Geth, being primarily software, don't die the way organics do. They just lose data. They are still saddened over the deaths of their creators who stuck with them when the rest of the quarians already disowned them. |

Steven Universe: While the words are never uttered, in "Off Colors", Steven kneels down next to Lars, who isn't moving or breathing, grabs him by the collar and shakes him in a way that is very reminiscent of someone trying to wake up an unconscious person. In "Reunited", after Steven gets knocked unconscious, Connie frantically tells him to wake up, her tone implying she's afraid he died. However, Steven really is just unconscious, and uses his Astral Projection to tell her. In "Change Your Mind", Connie does it again after White Diamond removes Steven's gem. He does wake up, but is very weak and most likely would have died if he didn't get it back. |

In BioShock, the Little Sisters go "Mister Bubbles, please wake up!" when their Big Daddy is killed. This is apparently a side effect of their mental states since they get over it rather quickly when the player heals them. They also can't tell the difference between the various Big Daddies, since, in the sequel, they will treat the Player Character, a Big Daddy himself, as if he were the same Big Daddy he just killed, with a happy "Mr. Bubbles, you're back!!" Some Splicers also say: "Come on, get up. I was only foolin'!" after they shit-kick you. | |

Batman: In some depictions of Thomas and Martha Wayne's deaths, eight-year-old Bruce is shown in denial of what happened. In Death and the Maidens, a flashback vision/hallucination sends Bruce back to that moment as a boy again. Bruce is gathering his mother's pearls, reassuring her that he'll fix her necklace and that by doing so everything will be all right again. His mother's ghost interrupts him and shakes him out of his childlike denial (changing Bruce back into an adult). | |

Avatar: Neytiri tries desperately to wake Jake up. He's not in that body at the time. And again at the end, but this time she figures out what's up and what she needs to do to help him. A mishearing provides an accidental example: When Eytukan is killed, Neytiri says something that sounds very much like, "Wakey, wakey," which spoils the mood entirely. |

Inverted in Romeo and Juliet in which Juliet actually is just sleeping under the effects of a potion that's supposed to really made her look like she's dead, but Romeo commits suicide out of despair. In some adaptations (such as the Baz Luhrmann film), she wakes up while he's doing this. Whoops. In the ballet version, Romeo shakes Juliet then picks up her "corpse" and dances with her before laying her back down and taking the poison. When Juliet comes to and finds Romeo dead she shakes him but comes to the conclusion that he's dead much more quickly. | |

Appropriately for its mythic style, sleeping is often a metaphor for death in The Lord of the Rings. As in, "she laid herself to rest on [some hill], and there is her green grave..." In both novel and film Sam asks Frodo to wake up after Shelob stabs him, but gives up and declares him dead. It's somewhat more justified here than in the Peter Jackson film, because Sam stays beside him for hours in Heroic BSoD mode before finally getting the strength to leave and take the Ring to Mt. Doom on his own. Of course, he's alive. | |

The climax of Pokémon: The First Movie. Ash, having been hit by Mew and Mewtwo's attacks, is turned to stone. Pikachu runs up to him and desperately tries to shock him back to wakefulness, wearing himself out in the process. Amazingly poignant, as at first Pikachu seems confused, playing this trope to the letter, and then in denial, continuing to try and shock Ash awake even when it's apparent that his efforts are useless. Ash gets better, but it takes the tears of a small army of Pokémon to do it. TWO small armies of Pokémon, one of which is comprised entirely of the clones of the entire other one. Along with the tears of three humans. In fact, we're lucky Pokémon tears are full of life or else that would've ended the series right there. | |

Also, from Final Fantasy IX, you meet a Black Mage who's just buried his friend after he 'stopped moving'. "I sure hope he wakes up soon. I'm going to wash him off in the pond'. Semi-subversion in that most of the mages look like adults and don't understand death (or much about the world), while Vivi, the one that looks like a little kid, understands exactly what's going on and only avoids calling it death out of politeness. Some of the mages eventually grasp the concept but continue to use the term anyway. | |

Recess: It's an early Gut Punch in season one. The kids love their class hamster Speedy, and wish him a good weekend when the episode starts. On Monday, Mikey goes to wish Speedy a good morning in his tank, only to realize he's asleep. Mikey taps the glass and shakes it, but Speedy does not budge one bit, as the class gathers around in concern, including Hustler Kid and other background characters. T.J. tries to say he's tired from eating his croutons, but Gus points out the bowl of croutons is full. Ms. Grotke goes Oh, Crap! because she knows what's happened, and tries to lie that Speedy is either meditating or hibernating. Gretchen, the genius of the class, knows that hamsters don't hibernate, and she picks up Speedy to check his heartbeat. Upon hearing nothing, she goes Oh, Crap! and tries to stammer out "He's, he's..." and Mikey finishes her sentence by saying, "SPEEDY'S DEAD!" | |

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Conscience of the King", after going mad, Lenore Karidian accidentally kills her father Anton Karidian (a.k.a. Kodos the Executioner) who was shielding Captain Kirk (the one she was trying to murder). She talks to her father's body, saying, "The curtain rises. It rises. 'Tis no time to sleep." It's a surprisingly tearjerking scene. | |

Possibly the most soul-crushing and heart-wrending example in live-action film is the 1979 version of The Champ, wherein the titular character, (Jon Voight) dies in the locker room shortly after winning a brutal boxing match and his young son, played by Ricky Schroeder (whose acting chops here bury most full grown adult actors), goes into an emotional meltdown trying to get his dad to wake up. You can watch it here. It's so sad that at least one study on the biology of crying used it as a reliable way to produce tears. | |

One Piece: In his flashback in the manga version, Zoro does this when Kuina dies, albeit in a way that's much angrier and hurt. Deeply in denial, he screams at her for abandoning their promise (implied that it's more because he felt she was abandoning HIM). It took an adult man and another boy around his age to hold him back. A non-death example: After Luffy one-shots Bellamy, the latter's first-mate Sarquisse playfully asks Bellamy to quit fooling around take down Luffy. When Bellamy doesn't respond (Out cold and with a fist-shaped dent in his cheekbones), Sarquisse gets angry, and yells what the hell is going on, Bellamy's the up-and-coming rookie worth 55 million berries, he should be able to take this little pipsqueak. It's then that everyone realizes that the wanted poster for Luffy is legit and that Straw Hat earned the 100 million he's wanted for. |

The finale of Code Geass has Nunnally saying this to Lelouch in the final Tear Jerker of the series. In this case, however, the person in question is old enough to understand death and saw the deceased get stabbed through the chest; the reaction is because they were incredibly close (and possibly because one of the last things she said to him was "You're a devil!"). | |

The Bible actually has several points where "sleeping" is used as a metaphor for "dead". When Jesus is on the way to the grave of his (recently deceased) friend Lazarus, he tells his disciples that Lazarus is "sleeping" and he is going to "wake him up". (He then raises him from the dead.) He also uses the same metaphor when he raises a young girl from the dead. Also, Paul refers to dead believers as "sleeping in Christ" in one of his letters. There are also several passages of people going to "sleep" with their fathers. This metaphor reflects the Christian belief that death isn't permanent. In the case of Jesus' revival of recently dead people, even the Early Church considered the possibility that they might have just been in a deep coma (e.g. the Daughter of Jairus and the Son of the Widow of Nain)—but Lazarus was different as he had been in the tomb for some time. |

In Avengers: Endgame has a strange case where it's played straight by one character (Spider-Man/Peter Parker) and inverted by another (Pepper). Iron Man delivers the Badass Fingersnap that puts an end to Thanos and his army for good, and the raw power of this action, in a homebrew gauntlet, is far too much for a human to handle. Once it's done and the villains are gone, Tony collapses. Peter, his protege for the entire Infinity Saga, swings over and tries to get him to wake up, but his wife, Pepper, realizes what he's done and tells him he can rest now as he breathes his last. | |

In The Shipping News, at the wake for a man who fell off his boat and drowned, one of the main character's two young daughters is standing right next to the drowned man when he wakes up. Turns out the freezing cold water had sent him into a state of shock where his heart rate slowed below detection and when his body finally warmed back up he was pretty much fine (you know, exactly the kind of situation the tradition of a "wake" was originally for). The two little girls are then very excited about the prospect of going to wake up their recently passed mother. Their father had told them at the funeral that she was sleeping and wouldn't wake up, but seeing the old man wake up convinces the two of them that she could be just like him. It has to be explained to them that, no, she is not sleeping but actually dead (unlike the not-so-drowned man at the wake), their father simply couldn't bring himself to say it aloud at the time. |

In Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Elena is caught in a blast during the finale and spends much of it limping, barely conscious. After killing the Big Bad, Nathan Drake carries her the rest of the way out. When they reach the surface, he lays her down on a slab and she is not moving or breathing and appears to be dead. Nate, visibly upset by this possibility, starts attempting to wake her up whilst saying she'll be alright. Turns out, he was right. She is seen recovered at the end of the game. Good thing too, otherwise that could have been a major Tear Jerker. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: In the Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders anime, Kakyoin has this reaction upon Avdol's first death. He insists that Avdol is just fine and that he'll get up and start speaking soon. When he doesn't, he starts shaking his body and calling out to him. In Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Diamond Is Unbreakable, Josuke has this reaction after his grandfather is murdered early in the story. Josuke uses his Stand Crazy Diamond to heal the injuries, but when nothing happens he starts shaking the body, assuming Grandpa is playing some kind of cruel prank (since the two of them have a running prank war with each other). He finally realizes what's happening when Jotaro steps in, putting a hand on Josuke's shoulder, and says that not even Stands can bring people back from the dead. |

In Gensokyo 20XXV, Reimu does this twice. The first time is a subversion in the people in which she is trying to wake up aren't dead and the second time is played straight in that the person she is trying to wake up has actually passed away. | |

Scryed has one that's phenomenally brutal in its simplicity. Kimishima has been severely injured amidst his Moment of Awesome. So Kazuma carries him back home. Somewhere along the way, Kimishima stops talking, but Kazuma doesn't realize what this means. When they get home, Kaname realizes what's happened, and starts to cry. But Kazuma... | |

In the post-game campaign of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, after exorcising Fecto Forgo from Leongar (and subsequently defeating Morpho Knight when it shows up to claim Fecto's soul), it seems that Leon has become lifeless once again, to the sadness of Kirby and Elfilin as they nudge his body. Fortunately, Leon's wife Clawroline, along with the other members of the Beast Pack, arrive with the scattered pieces of Leon's soul, recollected during Kirby's fight. They get returned to him and Leon wakes up, finally free of Fecto's influence for good. | |

In the canon route of Blaze Union, this is Eimi's reaction when the party gets together to mourn Siskier. It's a partial subversion, as Eimi is stated in other routes to have seen a lot of death on her journey to find her brother and has a full understanding of mortality—she just doesn't seem to want to accept it. | |

Easily one of the most heartbreaking moments in the Final Fantasy franchise, in Final Fantasy V. Galuf has just given his absolute all to save the heroes from Exdeath. The rest of the group tries absolutely everything they can to bring him back, from cure spells to resurrection magic to elixirs, all the while begging him to get back up. He doesn't. | |

Doctor Who: Possibly the only example to replace the sobbing child with a sobbing 900-year-old alien, this was done in "Last of the Time Lords". The Master lies dying in the Doctor's arms. The Doctor begs him to regenerate; the Master chooses to die instead, accomplishing his final victory by abandoning the Doctor as the last Time Lord in the entire universe. "I win." Rory to Amy in the 2010 series finale "The Big Bang": Subverted when the Doctor zaps in from 1996 and tells Rory that Amy is Only Mostly Dead. Still just as heartbreaking. Amy to the Doctor in "The Impossible Astronaut", after the latter is shot mid-regeneration. Happened to the Doctor again with Jenny, his daughter/Opposite-Sex Clone. She is seemingly shot fatally and he begs her to regenerate while cradling her in his arms, even after it's clear that her hearts have stopped for the time being. The Tag shows her still alive and glowing with regeneration energy, likely because she's still technically in the first 12 hours of a regeneration cycle, hence able to heal a wound she normally wouldn't have. |

Due to the strange rules of his gift, she dies when giving him a goodnight kiss, and Ned just sits there poking her corpse, hoping she will be alive again... | |

Circle of Magic: In Tris's Book Tris freaks out after her cousin Aymery dies, arguing with his body while thinking that she wants him to wake up. He was killed by pirates who he owed vast quantities of money to after outliving his usefulness to them, in the process of letting the pirates into the temple she lives in, but he was the only member of her family who'd ever been nice to her. In Briar's Book, Briar spends the night at the bedside of one of the blue pox patients, his friend Flick, who dies holding his hand. When told to get up, he protests that he can't let go or he'll wake her— despite having seen her stop breathing— because he's so exhausted from tending patients and staying awake all night. His teacher gently replies "You know better." |

Done twice in Dragon Ball. The first time, Goku finds Krillin dead after being murdered by Tambourine. He spends several seconds shaking and telling Krillin to wake-up before acknowledging that he was dead. The second time, it was Krillin shaking Goku after he died sacrificing himself to stop Raditz. Krillin knows Goku is dead but is in denial. | |

Subverted in Final Fantasy Tactics. Rafa wants the dead Malak to wake up to watch the sunrise... and that prompts the one time that God acts through a Zodiac Stone instead of the Lucavi, resurrecting him. Similarly, in the ending of Final Fantasy VIII, Rinoa does this wordlessly after finding Squall's apparently lifeless body in a wasteland beyond time. Her Sorceress powers kick in, bringing them both back to their own time, and possibly bringing him back to life as well (open to interpretation as to whether he really was dead, as there is no dialogue). |

In an episode of ER, Benton's ex-girlfriend Carla died in a car accident. Upon reaching the hospital, he tried to break the news to their 4-year-old son, telling him via sign language (the boy is deaf) that "Mommy went to sleep forever". Not understanding, the boy kept signing back to him, "Then wake her up," until Benton finally signed (and said) "Mommy died." | |

Pokémon: The Series: The climax of Pokémon: The First Movie. Ash, having been hit by Mew and Mewtwo's attacks, is turned to stone. Pikachu runs up to him and desperately tries to shock him back to wakefulness, wearing himself out in the process. Amazingly poignant, as at first Pikachu seems confused, playing this trope to the letter, and then in denial, continuing to try and shock Ash awake even when it's apparent that his efforts are useless. Ash gets better, but it takes the tears of a small army of Pokémon to do it. TWO small armies of Pokémon, one of which is comprised entirely of the clones of the entire other one. Along with the tears of three humans. In fact, we're lucky Pokémon tears are full of life or else that would've ended the series right there. Once again in the Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions movie. Poor little Zorua. It also happens in the regular series, when Ash and Pikachu's spirits are taken out of their bodies by a Haunter. Misty finds them lying on the floor and tearfully begs Ash to wake up. |

In League of Legends, several champions consisting or more than one entities have in-game death animations evoking this. The straightest example is with Nunu and Willump. Only Willump bites the dust upon "dying" while Nunu tries desperately to get him back up, then quietly rests by his friend's side. Occasionally, he'll even shout "Don't leave me!" Maokai is usually carrying an animate little Sapling in his hand. When he dies, he flings it away (seemingly as to not crush it under his weight while keeling over), and all the Sapling can do is scramble over his body before quietly expiring itself. Dragon Trainer Tristana dies in a similar fashion to Nunu, except it's Tristana who dies while her dragon companion Riggle tries to nudge her back awake. Hilariously referenced and subverted, however, with Dragon Trainer Heimerdinger, where as he dies, his dragon partner Pythagoras nicks a chicken drumstick from his corpse and flies off. |

Major: Goro's father Shigeharu suffers a delayed death after he takes a dead ball to the head from Joe Gibson, as the damage doesn't manifest until the next morning. When Goro wakes up, he at first assumes his dad just fell asleep again, and this trope ensues, until he grabs his hand and notices how cold it is (he's quick to realize it since his mom had died a few years prior and he went through a similar experience). | |

SHAZAM! Fury of the Gods has Shazam makes a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat Kalypso and Ladon by invoking the lightning that strikes him during his transformations to essentially nuke them, but of course, also turns him back into Billy, an ordinary human boy who can't withstand such an attack. After the battle is over, his foster brother and best friend Freddy finds his body in the wreckage, covered with electrical burns, and at first eagerly encourages him to wake up by assuring him he won, before growing more and more frantic and tearful as he realizes Billy really is dead, finally shouting "You asshole!" and breaking down in sobs. Luckily for everyone, Billy's brought Back from the Dead by Diana. | |

The sequence is made even more heartbreaking when Bluepaw must relay the news to her sister Snowpaw. Done again in The Last Hope, when Ferncloud is killed. One of the kits wonders what happened, and another one tells them not to worry, that Ferncloud is only asleep and that Dustpelt will wake her up. At this point, Dustpelt is begging Ferncloud not to leave him. |

The Tex Avery MGM cartoon Lonesome Lenny has Screwy Squirrel taken in as a pet for a suspiciously familiar dog. Both near the start and at the end, he states with a hint of regret, "Ya know, I had a little friend once... but he don't move no more!" Each time, he pulled out the body of that "little friend". The first one was a mouse. The second one was Screwy himself. Fittingly enough, this was actually the final Screwy Squirrel cartoon. | |

Go to Sleep (A Jeff the Killer Rewrite): In a flashback to the previous summer, Jeff is distraught to see Ben's soaked body by the lake, knowing that he can't swim and fell in somehow. While an adult tries CPR and chest compressions to get Ben to respond, Jeff grips his hand, begging him to wake up. Ben does give a slight grip... only for it to go limp. | |

In Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Diamond Is Unbreakable, Josuke has this reaction after his grandfather is murdered early in the story. Josuke uses his Stand Crazy Diamond to heal the injuries, but when nothing happens he starts shaking the body, assuming Grandpa is playing some kind of cruel prank (since the two of them have a running prank war with each other). He finally realizes what's happening when Jotaro steps in, putting a hand on Josuke's shoulder, and says that not even Stands can bring people back from the dead. | |

Similarly, in the ending of Final Fantasy VIII, Rinoa does this wordlessly after finding Squall's apparently lifeless body in a wasteland beyond time. Her Sorceress powers kick in, bringing them both back to their own time, and possibly bringing him back to life as well (open to interpretation as to whether he really was dead, as there is no dialogue). | |

In the original Tarzan of the Apes novel, Kala does this with her baby who died in a fall. (See the Real Life section below: this is Truth in Television.) It's not until she discovers baby John that she puts her dead child in the crib, taking John in his place, and thereby hangs (well, swings) the tale. | |

Fantastic Four: In one story, The Thing took a massive shot from Doctor Doom that actually blew a hole into his chest. Reed spent something like an hour performing CPR in a futile attempt to keep him alive before Sue and Johnie convinced him to stop. Ultimately subverted, since Reed then built a machine that let them go to the afterlife and find Ben, then they met God (who looked just like Jack Kirby) and he brought The Thing back to life for them. | |

Liz has one of these moments with the red guy himself in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, including citing various reasons for him to wake up. The one that works: "You're going to be a father..." At that point, he murmurs, "I... become... father?" and forces himself back alive. Liz also has a moment in the comics, when Abe dies; it's not an explicit version of this trope, but the way she shakes his body and keeps calling his name, even after other characters have informed her of his death, implies she was still trying to wake him up. | |

Jill collapses and falls unconscious, prompting Carlos (who arrived moments later) to apologize for not being there for her and begs her to wake up. Subverted that Jill survives and was simply out cold for a few days, but the virus still inhabits her body until Carlos can get the vaccine from a nearby hospital to cure her. | |

YuYu Hakusho: In the first episode, where the little kid that Yusuke saved visits Yusuke's funeral. He says something like "Why is he in the box? Is he sleeping? Can I play with him tomorrow?" When Yusuke dies again after being killed by Sensui, Kuwabara rushes over to him and thinks he's faking it to fool him, Hiei and Kurama as he did to Yusuke when Younger Toguro seemingly killed him. He desperately puts his hand over Yusuke's mouth and nose to make him drop the act... but to his horror, Yusuke isn't acting. |
