A dramatically-made promise that serves as foreshadowing. The promise will eventually be called in and action will be required. Whether they succeed, fail or refuse to keep their promise depends almost entirely on the idealism-level of the story. Other factors, such as whether they were told what they had to do, or if it was a Leonine Contract, may come into play. Even Releasing from the Promise is usually a scene of high drama. Compare Inevitably Broken Rule and Rash Promise, which often overlaps with this trope. |

A promise is the driving force behind the plot of Disgaea 4, hence the title. The main character, Valvatorez made a promise to give his Prinny trainees a sardine once they finish their training. However, the Netherworld's government decides that all of the Prinnies need to be exterminated to cut back on expenses, which would keep him from fulfilling his promise. So naturally, he decides to overthrow the government. | |

Adventure Time: In "Slumber Party Panic", Princess Bubblegum makes Finn "royal promise" not to tell anyone about the zombies approaching the Candy Kingdom. He has a hard time keeping it, but eventually he defeats the zombies without telling anyone. When Jake discovers the hacked bodies around him, Finn feels it's alright to tell him. Only it's not: turns out the consequences of breaking a royal promise are having to face trial by fire at the hands of the kingdom's giant Gumball Guardians. Luckily, it gets negotiated down to 'trial by math.' | |

In His Dark Materials, Lyra promises a friend that she'd come and save him if he ever got kidnapped. In the process of trying to keep this promise, she travels to Svalbard, burns down a military-protected research station and tricks the king of the Armored Bears. When she does find him again, she ultimately ends up accidentally getting him killed anyway and travels to the World of the Dead to apologize to him for it. | |

The plot of Finding Nemo only really happens because, after a barracuda eats Marlin's wife and most of his eggs, he finds one sole survivor (Nemo), and promises he "will never let anything happen to [him]". This results in him being overprotected, venturing out alone, and getting kidnapped for captivity in a fish tank. | |

Dragon Quest VIII: Trodain promised Argonia that their kingdoms would be united by an Arranged Marriage. Unfortunately, Argonia's Prince is Prince Charmles, which causes King Trode no small amount of grief after meeting him and seeing what an utter boor he'd promised his daughter's hand to. In both endings, he decides Screw The Promise, I'm Doing What's Best For Medea and fights to stop the ceremony — the Golden Ending also lets him Take a Third Option and let her marry Charmles' just-discovered cousin. Plus, it's implied that 'The Hero' had the right of succession anyway. | |

Fitoria from The Rising of the Shield Hero makes very damn certain of this, regardless of the measures needed to ensure it happens, especially if it involves killing all four of the Cardinal Heroes in order to summon another "Chosen Few" that will work better if need be (three of which are already beyond pathetic when it comes to "working together, not making complete asses of themselves and being unbelievably appalling in letting others manipulate them with sheer ease") All of this she made to a Hero from ages long past, someone she doesn't even specifically recall, the only thing she remembers is how memorable/nice he was to her, among other things that she still keeps her promise firmly to come the time of the current Cardinal Heroes comprised of Ren, Itsuki, Motoyasu, but most important of all... Naofumi. The promise was to ensure all four Cardinal Heroes work together to defeat the Waves, no matter the situation, but even then she recalls a horrific event that she says will occur which will force the Cardinal Heroes to decide which they fight for: The World, or its People, the latter being a very thorny path... | |

Bleach: In the Soul Society arc, Ichigo will save Rukia... whether she likes it or not. During the Arrancar Arc, Ichigo vows to Orihime that "next time... I'll definitely protect you!" Later, he tells her "Don't worry. I'm definitely going to win." This promise is so strong that when Ulquiorra brings him to the verge of death, he is resurrected as an insanely powerful hollow obsessed with protecting Orihime — and only Orihime. |

Usagi Yojimbo: In A Promise In the Snow, Usagi promises a young girl her gravely wounded father won't die. After they're all nearly buried by an avalanche and Usagi has been battered unconscious, the girl invokes Usagi's promise to get him back on his feet. Another short story has Usagi apologize for taking so long to return a masterful origami to the man who made it for him. He'd intended to hand it back immediately, but they were quickly embroiled in a battle. The other person didn't survive it. Usagi is returning it to his grave. |

In Solatorobo, Elh promises Red a billion rings if he helps to complete the Rite of Forfeit. Of course, Elh actually doesn't have a billion rings and, if the Rite had gone as it usually did, Red wouldn't have needed them anyway. Red survived, however, and instead of being angry, he just invited Elh to join his team — ostensibly to work off that debt, of course, but nobody was fooled. | |

In The Silmarillion, Fëanor and his sons swore a terrible oath to recover the Silmarils at any cost. These Silmarils were three hallowed jewels which Fëanor made, and which Morgoth stole. Centuries later the oath destroyed them thoroughly, and resulted in them slaughtering many innocents. Even after the last two surviving sons thoroughly hated the oath and wished to stop killing people over the jewels, they felt (or thought they were) somehow compelled to continue. In The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn can summon the Dead to fulfill the oath of assistance that they did not respect centuries before. In The Lord of the Rings this is the reason Sam remains with Frodo even with the rest of the Fellowship is scattered. He made a promise to Gandalf that he would not leave Frodo, and Sam is a hobbit of his word. He chases after Frodo's boat even though he can't swim, and nearly drowns rather than break the promise. Frodo helps Sam aboard and they continue to Mordor together. |

Naruto is full of "promises of a lifetime"... some more successfully fulfilled than others. The most notable case is Naruto's promise to Sakura in Part I, to return Sasuke for her. The episode after the mission to do this was actually called "The Promise That Could Not Be Kept." Although, after Sakura's infamous fake love confession — which Naruto easily sees right through, calls her out on for her dishonesty, and rejects outright — he renews his promise not for her anymore, but for his own reasons. It's still his most important reason to fight, alongside protecting his friends. Another plot relevant promise is Sasuke promising to avenge his family by killing his brother. Once he succeeds he instantly makes a new one: Destroying Konoha. Obviously that guy needs someone to kill. Kakashi promised Obito that he would look after Rin. It would seem he failed. The Not Quite Dead Obito witnesses Kakashi actually killing Rin, contributing to his change into Tobi. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: As far as Reynir's great-grandfather was concerned in the prologue, the world outside of Iceland was falling apart due to the Rash. On top of this, he was quitting his job in the coast guard because it had turned into enforcing Quarantine with Extreme Prejudice on any refugee boat that showed up from the rest of the world. Because of this, he promised himself to never tell any future children he may have about what's outside of Iceland and make them understand that they should never try leaving the country. Over the following ninety years, some people were discovered to be The Immune to the Rash and Iceland developped a program to enable parents who are not The Immune to have children who are. In addition, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland turned out to be still around as nations, albeit beaten up by The End of the World as We Know It. This resulted in Reynir being sheltered into staying in the family farm due to being both the youngest child and the only non-immune one, while his four older siblings each showed up at home twice a year with stories about being abroad. It's from one of them that he found out that the ban on non-immune people travelling outside of Iceland was actually no longer in place, when his parents had told him otherwise. It's safe to assume that the sheltering to which Reynir was subject has something to do with his great-grandfather's promise. | |

Several important promises are made in Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: Having processed Shinji's Anguished Declaration of Love, Asuka responds by demanding that he promises never to hurt her. Shinji ruminates on how he doesn't know if he can keep this promise, but he promises it all the shame. Later on, Shinji promises Asuka that he will be always with her. And at the end, Asuka promises Shinji that she will try to be happy. He later uses it to bring her back from the brink of despair. |

one day at a time (Nyame): In the previous timeline, Jon Kent and Damian Wayne made a promise when they were children to succeed their fathers as Superman and Batman together. Alas, it remained unfulfilled due to Damian dying before he could take up the mantle. Jon, in the midst of his grief, succeeded him as Nightwing instead, and his devotion to his best friend was so strong that he refused to become the second Superman after the death of his father years later, deferring the mantle to Conner Kent instead. After Conner died eight years later, Jon finally conceded to becoming Superman due to there being no other suitable successor at the time. | |

In Trails from Zero, Lloyd tells Tio that he will protect her just like Guy did, but she tells him that he doesn't have to be the same as Guy, that he should find his own path. Later, the two discuss the promise and Lloyd admits that he still hasn't figured out his path. Tio then tells him she has a request of her own: to take her to Mishelam Wonderland when everything is over. Stunned, he asks if that's really all, that she could even say "When I'm in trouble, always come to my rescue." She tells him that it's more than enough, that in order for it to come true, they'll have to resolve the crisis anyway. | |

Westeros: An American Musical: In "Hand-Holding", Eddard explains that his part in letting himself and his Old Friend Robert drift apart over the years was a secret he couldn't share with Robert. One of the few details he gives about the secret is that it involved making a promise to someone. The play ends long before the point where the nature of the promise was revealed in one of the canon versions of the story (it's only been hinted at in the other), but its nature would have indeed made it hard for Eddard to keep it all while staying in regular contact with Robert. | |

The Order of the Stick: Roy's father, Eugene, swore a Blood Oath of Vengeance to seek out and destroy Xykon, the Big Bad. His failure to do so, plus his decision to abandon his quest, keep him in limbo even after his natural death and transfers the obligation to his heirs. He's incensed when his son, Roy, gets to go on to the afterlife proper, since Roy didn't fulfill the terms of the Oath either. It's pointed out by a Being of Pure Law and Good that Roy gets to move on because he died in direct pursuit of the quest his worthless flake of a father dumped on him by consciously abandoning it. |

In Persona 3 Portable, a romantic vow to stay together is apart of the last rank of the Justice Social Link for the female protagonist. What makes it so important is that it's with Ken Amada who's very insecure about their relationship. A bigger promise is for SEES to meet up again on Graduation Day, if they manage to beat Nyx. |

Promises are everywhere in MYth: A Promise and the willing of keeping them is a mayor character tract. Keeping their promises is what makes difference between Cronus and Zeus, the two men choosen by Gaia, as Cronus promised that he would free the cyclops but doesn't keep it while Zeus does. Also, Zeus' determination in keeping his promises and Hades' promise to Rhea of protecting Zeus is Played for Drama when Zeus swears to hate Hades forever for him killing Metis, and Hades willingly accepts Zeus' hatred in order to make him a stronger man. | |

One of the story paths in BlazBlue had Bang Shishigami who was at first being seen as an annoying Stalker with a Crush by Litchi Faye-Ling, until he jumped in and saved both her and Arakune from Hakumen. Bang opts to do a Heroic Sacrifice while Litchi escapes; and asks to meet her in a bar when it's all over, and Litchi promised to do so. Unfortunately, it's a Heroic Sacrifice for real; Bang presumably dies and we don't know if Litchi even remembered him and The Promise. The Kaka clan, however, made him a posthumous hero. Continuum Shift, however, uses a variation. Litchi still made the promise and Bang actually survived. While they didn't exactly meet in a bar, it is clear that from that point on, Litchi grew to respect Bang tremendously and treats him with kindness and compassion. Litchi herself has a very dramatic version that influences her actions. She made a promise that she will save her colleague Lotte Carmine, who is now Arakune, no matter what happens to her. Unfortunately, fulfilling this promise is a hard thing to do since it involves corrupting herself to the Boundary to the point she's getting very near to become another Arakune, she had to take the offer of someone Obviously Evil like Hazama to join NOL and becoming a 'bad guy' in general and eventually helping Relius Clover in his plan to exterminate all life and create a new world where Lotte can be prevented from becoming Arakune, all of these fill her with a huge dose of remorse, but she feels obliged to follow through to the end, even if she could be happy enough by leaving him alone, and especially even if other people consider her stupid for trying to save someone they think is 'beyond saving' and wouldn't bother. Perhaps hilariously, even Relius Clover joins in the act in Chronophantasma. He goaded his son Carl to his side by first having Litchi on his clutches 'on her own will' (see above) and the promise that he will restore Ada, Carl's biggest goal in life for the moment. Considering Relius didn't break a sweat in putting him down, when Carl actually did on his own will, we all know that Relius would make it an Empty Promise. But... then he saw Bang Shishigami thwart his magnum opus of a plot despite having both Litchi and Carl, who Bang liked very much, as his pawns, and then he's dumped by the Imperator (revealed by Izanami) to 'die' and with him being The Perfectionist, Relius fell into a Villainous BSoD and is railroaded to commit himself to Carl's previous promise to restore Ada before he could die, which he accepts because he got nothing else to look forward into. |

Cortana simply asks Chief what will happen to him if he can't keep his promise.

If Shepard enters into a romantic relationship with Liara in Mass Effect, at the conclusion of Lair of the Shadow Broker in Mass Effect 2, Liara asks Shepard to promise her that s/he's always coming back. S/he does. Both she and Tali beg you to come back after the final battle in Mass Effect 3. Since it's currently assumed that ME3 is the end of the series (for Shepard), in one out of three endings, with a high enough EMS score, you can assume s/he keeps his/her promise. Since Mass Effect: Andromeda takes place in an entirely different galaxy hundreds of years later, there's no way to know one way or the other. | |

Chrono Crusade has several promises that the main characters take very seriously. The first is that Mary Magdalene made Chrono promise to "live", which is implied to be the only reason he didn't commit suicide after her death. Also, the manga version shows Joshua and Rosette promise as children to "grow-up together" — remembering his promise is what gives Joshua the strength to reject Chrono's horns. Also, when Rosette made her contract with Chrono, Chrono seems to have promised himself that he would protect her, even going to the point of saying he promised to "never make her cry" in the manga. When he's forced to break this promise at one point, he becomes really pissed. | |

In The Lord of the Rings this is the reason Sam remains with Frodo even with the rest of the Fellowship is scattered. He made a promise to Gandalf that he would not leave Frodo, and Sam is a hobbit of his word. He chases after Frodo's boat even though he can't swim, and nearly drowns rather than break the promise. Frodo helps Sam aboard and they continue to Mordor together. | |

In "The Pied Piper of Hamelin", a piper saves a town from rats by playing a magic tune that makes the rats drown themselves. When the citizens of Hamelin deny the piper the payment formerly agreed on, the piper in retribution uses his music to lure the children of Hamelin into a cave which closes forever with them inside. | |

Roger was a talking dog who appeared in an Al Brodax Popeye cartoon, where his ability to talk to only Popeye causes a bit of a mess. When he returns in a later cartoon, he makes a promise to not speak to anyone except Popeye and Olive. Running an errand, Roger overhears a gang of thugs planning a robbery. He tells Popeye, who tells the police. When the police asks where Popeye got his information, he says Roger told him. But all Roger will do is bark to the police because he made a promise to not speak to anyone except Popeye and Olive. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: At the last second in Season 3, it is revealed that in their past life together, Juudai promised that he would love only Yubel forever. This became the driving force of her motivation when she returned in Season 3. While Yubel can alter people's memories, it's impossible that she was doing so here, as she had nothing to do with Juudai regaining his memories, and wasn't even aware that he had. Him fusing their souls together has the double purpose of confirming that their past was true (as he would have learned about a lie) and reaffirming that he loved her. | |

In One Piece, a band of pirates left a baby whale they adopted named Laboon at the beginning of the Grand Line, promising to return after they've made the round-world voyage. Unfortunately, those pirates were wiped out, half becoming ill and having to leave the ship to save the rest, and those that remained were wiped out in a battle. Of those pirates, only Brook remains, having been brought back to life as a skeleton by his Devil Fruit. And now he has promised to his dead crewmates to deliver the final message of the Rumbar Pirates to Laboon, even after fifty years. When the Straw Hat crew first met Laboon, the whale was battering himself to death on the Red Line out of despair of the unfulfilled promise, prompting Luffy to make a new one. He gets into a fight with Laboon which he declares a draw, stating they will have to have a rematch when he returns. Further, he paints his logo on Laboon's head as a mark of the promise, which would be erased if Laboon returned to hammering at the Red Line. During their childhood, Luffy and Ace made one promise to each other after the (supposed) death of their third brother Sabo: they would live their lives free of regrets. As Ace laid dying in Luffy's arms, he stated that the only regret he had was that he wouldn't be able to see Luffy become the Pirate King. This promise is one of the major reasons why Luffy was able to move on from Ace's death and continue following his dream. Ace also made another promise to Luffy after the above event: that he would never die and leave Luffy alone. While Ace ultimately couldn't fulfill the first part of his promise, unbeknownst to both of them at the time, he didn't leave Luffy alone. Sabo still lived, and made his own promise on Ace's grave: to succeed Ace as the user of the Mera Mera no Mi and Luffy's protector — both of which he manages splendidly. Luffy and Zoro's goals can be seen as promises to Shanks and Kuina respectively. |

In Planescape: Torment, your character can actually do this as a dialogue option. Sometimes, dialogue choices (in some specific, important and dramatic scenes) will have a declaration of intent hidden, such as "Truth", "Lie", and, most importantly, "Make Vow". Those dialogue choices affect your Character Alignment: you become more Lawful if you tell the truth, and more Chaotic if you lie. | |

A non-pinky promise comes when Lelouch realizes how much his friends care about him, he tearfully promises them that he'll set off fireworks with them again someday. He doesn't, and when he realises he won't be able to keep this promise, he calls them to apologize and say goodbye. | |

The King was so pleased by her dancing that he vowed to give her whatever she wanted, up to half of his kingdom. After consulting with her mother, she asked for head of John the Baptist on a platter. Though conflicted about doing so, Herod kept his promise and had John beheaded. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII has Cloud's childhood promise to Tifa that he would protect her if she ever got into trouble (see page quote). Final Fantasy VIII: The game has the iconic promise between Squall and Rinoa. In the ending FMV when Squall is lost in Time Compression, Rinoa manages to find him and bring him back to the location of the promise. The main musical theme of Final Fantasy XIII is actually called "Final Fantasy XIII — The Promise." The talk page for the song on the Final Fantasy Wiki lists at least five different promises within the game: Snow promised to protect and save Serah, Snow and Vanille both promised to protect and save Cocoon, Vanille claimed that she promised Hope they would visit Gran Pulse together, Fang promised to protect Vanille and not let her turn into a C'ieth and Hope promised to watch out for Lightning. |

This is a promise Ned keeps until his last breath as he spends the rest of his life protecting Jon, raising and loving him as his own son at Winterfell, and passes his nephew off as his own illegitimate child to keep Jon safe from their family's enemies and Robert Baratheon, who would pose a fatal threat to Jon if Jon's biological parentage ever came to light. | |

In "Bearskin", the hero, appalling shaggy, filthy and ragged, but rich, rescues a man from financial distress, the man promises that he may marry one of his daughters. Only the youngest is willing. However, his appearance stemmed from a Deal with the Devil, and that being over, he cleans up nicely and formally arrives at their house as a wooer — or, in some variants, at his own wedding. The older sisters are impressed, but the youngest, being the sort who would marry a hideous man to redeem her father's promise, ignores him until he proves that handsome as he is, he is still the same man whom she promised to marry. | |

Keitaro holds strongly to his 15-year-old promise to get into Tokyo University for/with a nearly-forgotten girl in Love Hina. He also made a similar promise to forever be with his adoptive sister, which she does indeed dramatically call him on in the OVA sequel, Love Hina Again. The concept of promises also is the main theme of the episode about the Robot Girl Moe. | |

Early in The Island of Sheep, Hannay recounts how, back in his African days, he and a friend helped the explorer Haraldsen fight off treasure-hunters, and promised to help him and his family if they came back for another round. The rest of the plot of the novel is them living up to the promise. (Hannay does offer to let his friend, who has since settled into a comfortable desk job life, off the hook; the friend is offended by the offer and refuses it, and goes on to prove that he's not gone as soft as all that.) | |

Earth's Children: Concerned that a grieving Thonolan is going to get himself killed, his brother Jondalar tries to urge him to return home to see their family again, especially their mother. However, Thonolan says that he and Marthona both knew they'd never meet again and instead makes Jondalar promise he will return, saying he belongs with the Zelandonii deep down and that Marthona won't be able to handle potentially losing them both. Jondalar promises he will return. After Thonolan dies, Jondalar is determined to keep his promise, which takes him another two books. | |

From Gensokyo 20XXV, we have this occur twice with Reimu and the others. The first time is where its implied Reimu makes those close her to promise they'll "wake up" (Read: "Not Die") but, as time goes on, she apparently realizes that this is a promise that cannot be kept, so she tells everyone that, should she die, that they'll promise to meet her again when their time comes but, up until then, to continue living their lives, instead of spending it grieving. In chapter 103, she asks a sick Ran to promise that she'll wait for her in the afterlife. | |

In Digimon Adventure 02, Ken promises to Wormmon that he won't betray his essential nature — in essence, that he'll stay kind and gentle — when he first meets him as a child. Flash-forward to a few years, More than Mind Control, and some heavy psychological trauma later, and he's the Digimon Kaiser. He does eventually keep his promise, though. Kinda. | |

During the early stages of Kaitou Saint Tail, Asuka Jr. extracts a promise from Saint Tail that 1) she'll always send a Calling Card to let him know when she goes on a heist and 2) she won't let anyone catch her before he does. At this point, they're only on Worthy Opponent terms with some subtext, but she ends up keeping the promise so diligently that he can even tell that she's being framed if she doesn't send him a calling card. At the end of the series, after Saint Tail is revealed to have been his own girlfriend Meimi, Maju attempts to mock one of Saint Tail's cards by calling it a "love letter", getting him to realize that all of them were like that; while he'd been spending the last half of the series trying to figure out what Meimi thought of him, she'd been sticking to that promise as a way of conveying that she wanted him to be happy and only trusted him to be the one to catch (at this point redefined to mean "protect") her. He makes do on his side of the bargain by literally catching her in midair, and during the Distant Finale, Seira refers to their "eternal promise" as originating from it, making the entire thing into an allegory for their ability to communicate with and trust each other. | |

Trails Series: In Trails from Zero, Lloyd tells Tio that he will protect her just like Guy did, but she tells him that he doesn't have to be the same as Guy, that he should find his own path. Later, the two discuss the promise and Lloyd admits that he still hasn't figured out his path. Tio then tells him she has a request of her own: to take her to Mishelam Wonderland when everything is over. Stunned, he asks if that's really all, that she could even say "When I'm in trouble, always come to my rescue." She tells him that it's more than enough, that in order for it to come true, they'll have to resolve the crisis anyway. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III — Lloyd Bannings told Juna Crawford that "Crossbell has many trials awaiting it. But we WILL overcome them. Juna, I want you to fight and struggle to overcome your own trials as well. And if anything happens, I'll come running — I promise." Later, if you do one of her bonding events, Rean tells her "If you run into any problems, just let me know. I'll come running — I promise." This ticks her off that he's reminding her of Lloyd, because she isn't quite ready to accept him yet. |

Since he lives in a magical world with similar laws to Medieval legend, he is honor bound to do so. He later convinces God that the vow was made in error and he shouldn't be held to it, but by then he has seen how horrible the Big Bad is and wants to overthrow him anyway. | |

Elfen Lied plays around with this in the scene where the villainous Bando, rescued by Mayu earlier in the series and feeling indebted, promises to save her once if she winds in trouble. Mayu is forced to cash in this promise not even a minute later, when Bando himself attacks her. But when she calls for his help again, he shows up in minutes and knocks the stuffing out of the man sexually assaulting her. A second example is Kouta promising to meet Lucy back at the stone on the last day of the festival. |

Smudge ties a rope around his waist and asks Angel to pull him back when he asks, before climbing the Stairs to retrieve his friend. After the mission is accomplished, Smudge is revealed to actually be Satan in disguise, who wanted to prevent the birth of another god. The evil entity begs Angel to pull the rope before the heavenly forces purify him, and the protagonist, after much deliberation, complies, saying that, as much as he would have liked his biggest enemy to be defeated, fulfilling a promise is what differentiates angels from demons. | |

Dr. STONE reboot: Byakuya: Byakuya promises Rei, the robot he built, that he will return to the space station one day, and Rei promises to keep the station intact. On Byakuya's side, this was an Empty Promise; he knew the station would de-orbit in a year, and even if it didn't it was extremely unlikely he'd ever be able to return to space. Rei, on the other hand, doesn't know any of that, and does everything it can to keep the station intact. It harvests nearby asteroids and comets to maintain the station, upgrades itself hundreds of times, builds a fleet of nuclear missiles to stop an asteroid impact that would wipe out all life on Earth, and sees nothing wrong with waiting 3700 years for Byakuya to return. Throughout it all, it keeps a massive strobe light bright enough to be seen from the ground, so that Byakuya will know it's still waiting. When Rei turns it on for the first time, it's the last thing that Byakuya sees before he dies. | |

Arthur promises Guinevere that when he is King, they'll be together. Whilst held hostage by a warlord, Lancelot promises Guinevere that he'll rescue her — this thus far is the only promise that hasn't been kept — whilst Lancelot does his best, it is Arthur and not Lancelot that rescues them. | |

Kingdom Hearts: At the end of Kingdom Hearts, Sora makes a promise with Kairi that he'll return to her and the island with Riku someday. In a deliberate echo in Kingdom Hearts II, Roxas makes a promise that he'll meet up again with his friends in Twilight Town. Sora fulfills it vicariously for him, and gets the Oathkeeper keyblade for doing so. Most of Sora's story in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is based on the promise that he and Riku both supposedly made to Naminé on a shooting star to protect her. But the promise is fake and so is Riku: Naminé herself implanted the promise both of their memories and the Riku is actually a replica of the real Riku. Even after they both know the truth, though, they still vow to protect her. At the end of the game, Sora makes a new promise to Naminé - that when he wakes up, they'll find each other and be friends for real. She warns him that he'll forget the promise, but he says that even if the chains of memory come apart, the links will still be there. She agrees that it's a promise. |

In the beginning of Demonheart, Orchid asks the player to promise she will love and protect her unborn son. Later, the player has an option to fulfill this promise or break it. There is also a possibility to give your word to Ari that you will not hurt Rivera, and to subsequently betray her. | |

In Noir, much drama is derived from Mireille's ill-considered promise to kill Kirika once she learns the nature of their past connection — by the time that occurs, the emotional bond between the two of them is so strong, Mireille finds herself unable to pull the trigger, even though Kirika turns to have been single-handedly responsible for everything bad that has ever happened in Mireille's life and actually begs Mireille to kill her, unable to live with the guilt. | |

Grendel: The Grendel oath acts as this. Virtually every character to recite it is doomed to die a horrible death, often at the cost to all he loves and cherishes. Sometimes, this is due to failing the Grendel ideals. Other times, this is the culmination of following it. | |
