Too Cool to Live	comment	Let's say a character is a Ninja Pirate. Let's say he also has a giant robot. Let's say that giant robot also has an Infinity +1 Sword. Let's further say that said sword is actually a katana. No, make that a chainsaw katana. No, let's just say it's two chainkatanas... attached by a chain to make chainkatanachucks. Clearly, this character is Made Of Cool. Equally clearly, this character, if he is not the Main Character, must die, because he overshadows the main character. This is what happens when somebody is Too Cool to Live. This character is often relegated by The Plot Reaper to the job of being a Heroic Sacrifice, or the Sixth Ranger. Many a wise and awesome mentor has fallen victim to this trope. Depending on how it happens, such a death can be a severe example of The Worf Effect. There's also a very strong overlap with Sacrificial Lion. Almost inevitably, their surviving comarades will all experience Survivor's Guilt over their demise and feel it's their fault the awesome character had to die. Sometimes, a main character is Too Cool to Live, and so performs a Heroic Sacrifice at the end of a movie or television series. Apparently, there was no bus service in the area. Sometimes results in a Disney Death due to Executive Meddling if the character is popular enough, but usually only if they Never Found the Body. Alternatively, this character doesn't die, but is removed from the stage in some way. Or he turns evil, and his superior coolness is put to use as an obstacle for the hero to overcome. And we all know that Evil is Cool. It may be justified as it allows the next generation, mainly the hero, to improve greatly to make up for the loss of this person. Many Crutch Characters in video games channel this trope. Compare Dying Moment of Awesome and Too Powerful to Live, a villain who is just too dangerous thanks to his Story-Breaker Power. See also Too Good for This Sinful Earth, a character who is just too gentle to stay in the story; and Too Happy to Live. Being Too Cool to Live can be very subjective, so please try not to Edit War. Since this is a death-related trope, Here There Be Spoilers. You have been warned.

Too Cool to Live / int_1331990c	comment	In her first appearance, Puella Magi Madoka Magica's Mami Tomoe summoned a thousand rifles and wiped the field of Mooks from space. She then took Madoka and Sayaka under her wing. 3 episodes in, she's violently decapitated and devoured by a witch gone One-Winged Angel. Also qualifies as Too Happy to Live, since she had literally just pledged her friendship to Madoka. But wait! She and Kyouko are Back from the Dead in the last episode, thanks in no small part to Madoka's ascension to goddesshood.

On top of being an incredibly sweet and nice guy, he managed to single-handedly take out Duman and close a powerful magical portal that would've sucked all of the Earth fairies into oblivion in just one episode…only for him die after using up all his energy. None of the other Specialists ever reached the level of Badass that he did and they have had twice as much screen time.

Alternate Lincoln Lee was as cool and they come. Thomas Jerome Newton, the series most badass and suave villain to date - and the only one to transition over two seasons. Sadly, it was not meant to last. September too. Sam Weiss. Yes, HIM - and worst of all, he was given an extremely unceremonious off-screen death accompanied by only a passing mention.

But hey, that comes with the job description. Kittan, although he did die laughing about how awesome it was (his sacrificing himself to save everyone via a giga drill breaker). Pretty much everyone who is dead on the good side is this. Hell, even some of the bad guys; this is a World of Badass, after all. Lordgenome, who not only has a mecha that is stronger than Simon at that point, but he gets out of it to pummel it with his bare hands. The fact he had dominated the fight, and Simon had to use a cheap shot to kill him cements him as this

Too Cool to Live / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Minato Namikaze is a particularly notable example. He was hailed as one of the strongest shinobi ever, saved the Leaf village from the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack, was shown to be able to wipe out whole platoons of shinobi in the blink of an eye (to the point where enemies were ordered to flee on sight from him), and could teleport anything, even a Spirit Bomb level chakra blast miles away without breaking a sweat. Needless to say, a lot of potential threats to the Leaf would not be deemed so dangerous if he was still alive. Jiraiya the Toad Sannin has become this over the course of Part II since his death. Possessing a high amount of badass skill, his own Super Mode, and being able to fight the Disc-One Final Boss and temporarily defeat him, as well as his own wisdom being used to redeem his fallen student through Naruto Uzumaki, it's easy to see why he's cool. Even Kabuto lamented his inability to use Edo Tensei on him.

Too Cool to Live / int_350904b0	comment	Nehemia in Throne of Glass. She's reminiscent of Princess Leia in that she's a courageous and strong-willed princess who is Wise Beyond Their Years and is secretly supporting the rebellion. She's skilled at deceiving and manipulating others, with her strengths lying more in political maneuvering and spy-work than than just throwing her weight around. She's actually more proactive and heroic than Celaena is (at first). Unfortunately, she gets killed off just two books in, with her death even serving to motivate Celaena into actually being the hero. A lot of readers were disappointed by this; it's also been pointed out that it has problematic implications given that Nehemia is a woman of color - and pretty much the only major character of color in the series to boot - whose main role is to die to motivate the white protagonist.

Too Cool to Live / int_35ada324	comment	Alien and Alien vs. Predator: Ripley, Vasquez and Hudson, from Aliens, hell all of the colonial marines for that matter. Alien: Resurrection: The gravely-voiced head of the Betty crew Captain Elgyn is portrayed as a carefree space pirate and ladies man. He's also the first of them to die in a rather sudden and painful death. Alien vs. Predator (2004): The general opinion people have of Adele Rousseau, with most reviewers stating that she's the only character they liked. So of course she's one of the first to die. And Scar, for somewhat obvious reasons. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem: Wolf, as some people wished he would've avoided the status quo of killing the Predator thanks to putting up one hell of a fight.

He's also an absolutely superb fighter and Assassin. Sadly, when he's attacked by a large group of werewolves, not superb enough.

Too Cool to Live / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: Pyrrha Nikos is a Child Prodigy who is a world-renowed fighter. Kind and compassionate, she becomes both the mentor and Love Interest to the male deuteragonist, and is identified by Professor Ozpin as being the Benevolent Conspiracy's best chance to protect the Fall Maiden's magic from being stolen by The Heavy. Even after The Heavy steals the Maiden power, Pyrrha is still able to briefly gain the upper hand during the fight, until her Semblance runs out of Aura and the fight turns in favour of the Aura-independent magic. Her death then triggers the Traumatic Superpower Awakening of The Heroine. Clover Ebi leads the best Huntsman team in Atlas, is friendly, engaging, a willing mentor, and quick to compliment good work. His Good Luck Semblance gives him a natural counter to Qrow's uncontrollable Bad Luck Semblance; they become close friends, with Clover actively working to improve Qrow's self-esteem issues, until Clover's Blind Obedience to General Ironwood causes conflict with the heroes. Qrow's own broken loyalty to Professor Ozpin contributes to a series of villain-manipulated poor decision-making by the heroes that allows Tyrian to frame Qrow for Clover's murder. Clover's death triggers Qrow's later discovery that he can use Clover's lucky charm as a concentration aide to force his Semblance to avert bad luck instead of cause it.

Although it turned out that he was diagnosed with cancer, and was going to die anyway, but he instead went out with a Heroic Sacrifice. Shadow of Lascielnote A weak carbon copy of the Fallen Angel but with all her knowledge and personality started off as a villain to tempt Harry and turn him evil. But his inner goodness and stubbornness lead to years of resisting its charms and temptations for three years when most people submit to a Fallen's Shadow in less than a month. No one lasted this long. After Harry notes that as something living in his head, which is malleable enough to be turned evil, she can be the victim of the same aspect. She can change, and after said three years, she is no longer the same Shadow he first met. So, he calls her Lash and this kick starts her quick Heel–Face Turn. However, as she would be able to grant Harry perfect memory, perfect recall, the knowledge of a Fallen Angel without needing him to sacrifice his morals the former villain would be a huge Game-Breaker in-universe. So a Heroic Sacrifice was used to remove the redeemed villain.

MacCool is an elf who is a romantic rival to Christopher, and as his name implies, his characterization mainly consists of being cooler and more impressive than Christopher. He dies fighting against a danger very unfamiliar in Everworld: humans armed with machine guns. And of course, there is a perverse satisfaction in the fact that Christopher was the one who had known about the gunmen and how to protect against them, but MacCool didn't follow his instructions. The series' Magnificent Bastard was also way too cool to live, and she would probably have won if she had.

Same goes for The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. She could just stand there and look at her enemies, and every soldier would throw away his weapon and surrender.

The Badass Longcoat donning, glorious hammy Evil Twin of Solid Snake, who steals and pilots a Metal Gear and almost enacts World War III, drives a jeep one handed while driving gets killed by the Foxdie virus after enaging in some shirtless fisticuffs with his brother.

FOXHOUND in general also counts, with members that Snake kills including Vulcan Raven a Gatling Good Alaskan Shaman, Sniper Wolf a beautiful Dark Action Girl who has a bunch of pet huskies and Pyscho Mantis a Psychic Powers Evil Genius who reads your memory card. Not to mention The Dragon Vamp who is Killed Off for Real in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's Rogues Gallery the Winds of Destruction Mistral (a multi-armed french cyborg femme fatale), Monsoon (a poetic sai-wielding Magnetism Manipulation cyborg), Sundowner (a Large Ham sissor sword-wielding cyborg), Jetstream Sam (brazilian samurai Blood Knight) and the Big Bad Senator Armstrong (a bare fisted and chested nanomachine-empowered Magnificent Bastard) are this.

Even when he's infected with the zombie virus himself, he if anything becomes even more badass when he realizes he now has nothing left to lose. Even as he breathes his last, he uses these moments to give Clementine a few last words of advice on surviving in this horrible new world. Lee may be dead as of the end of the first season, but he lives on through the words of wisdom and encouragement he gave Clementine, who replaces him as protagonist for the remainder of the series. Whenever fans discuss the villains of the second season onward, such as Bill Carver and the New Frontier, the consensus is always, "Lee would have taken care of them easily".

Plus he left behind cute little witch Angela. This is, in fact, one of the ways in which the Gecko Ending of the anime improved on the manga. He survives and ends up going over to the good-guy side (can't really call it a Heel–Face Turn since he was never evil in any sense of the word). BJ. Nifty soul perception skills, he and Marie had a history, and member of a different part of Shibusen - Internal Investigations. He was every bit as weird as the rest of the staff...killed off within three chapters. Possibly, Tezca the South American Death Scythe (the bear guy). Okubo seems to get steadily more bizarre with his characters, and the Demon Mirror could have been fun to watch had he not seemingly been offed by Justin Of course, he ''is'' a mirror...

Overall presented as an amazing guy, Mafuyu took care of his sister after their mother's suicide, headed into the haunted mansion simply to find and help his professor and is clever to realize what is going on, leaving notes for Miku to find. He decides to remain with Kirie at the Hell Gate, so she will not be lonely anymore and ease her suffering.

Check. Voiced by The freaking Rock?! Check. Dead before the second commercial break? Check. Skyquake, a Decepticon version of this Trope, could be considered the Decepticon version of Cliffjumper. Makeshift is another example from Prime. Power to change his appearance? Check. Can replicate the abilities of whoever he changes into? Check. Discovers the location of the Autobot's base? Check. Killed at the end of his debut episode? Bingo. Heck, even the writers confirmed that the reason he was killed off was because he was downright overpowered. And we can add Dreadwing to the list... The Star Saber is an equipment version of this trope. Awesomely powerful, and shattered the episode after Optimus got it.

Too Cool to Live / int_8d7f023e	comment	The second season of GARO has a time-traveling wandering samurai named Igari Juuzou. In order to prevent himself from dying from an incurable disease, he strikes a deal with a demon residing in a katana. What makes Juuzou such an awesome character, is that he is so far the only character in the entire GARO franchise to be fully in control of his body after a demon possessed it. When the demon commands him to kill innocents so it can feed on them, Juuzo simply cuts open his own body and tells it to feed on his blood. In his final battle with one of the heroes, he shows he is in complete control of the demonic powers. The downside of this great character is that he basically amounts to a Monster of the Week, lasting for only one episode.

Eddard Stark however is pretty awesome and his death sets the tone for the whole series brilliantly. Fittingly, in the HBO adaptation, he's played by Sean Bean, who tends to play these sort of characters a lot. And Khal Drogo. His actor in Game of Thrones was so upset that the character got killed off that he proposed to the showrunners that a Backup Twin could show up in the second season. They worked him into the season finale, albeit in a different way (from beyond the grave). Qhorin Halfhand. Too badass.

He and Whitebeard were the first One Piece characters to be Killed Off for Real outside of Death by Origin Story. When he was younger and hung with Luffy, he was already stronger than the latter with a Devil Fruit, while the former was Badass Normal beforehand. Not only was he was the third strongest person in a crew said to be the strongest in the current era; capable of fighting with a Warlord to a draw, he was also a much more well rounded person who easily surpassed Luffy in charisma and ability.

Compared to Ghidorah's screentime in the previous film, Mechagodzilla has only two scenes, and once he gains a mind of his own he only lives for about ten minutes before being destroyed in the Final Battle.

For the period she's with the group, she's one of the most useful members (being the best magic-user and the primary healer) who's final limit breaks are flat out game breakers, not to mention her loveable tomboyish personality and status as Last of Her Kind.

Shadow possessed all of Sonic's abilities in addition to his own unique ones, but was a No-Nonsense Nemesis compared to Sonic. And despite that aforementioned statement, he could match Sonic's wit too. Naturally because Redemption Equals Death, he performs a Heroic Sacrifice at the end of the game. It becomes a Subverted Trope however where he was Saved by the Fans and is brought back in the next game and has become a series staple since.

The crowning example however is Eddie, a Heavy Metal enthusiast, excellent Dungeon Master, charmastic, sweet and hilarious wiseguy who has the most glorious Crowning Moment of Awesome shredding a guiter solo (dedicated to Chrissy) of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in the Upside Down while lightning goes off in the sky.

Compared to Ghidorah's screentime in the previous film, Mechagodzilla has only two scenes, and once he gains a mind of his own he only lives for about ten minutes before being destroyed in the Final Battle.

Too Cool to Live / int_bcadd7cb	comment	All the Primarchs in Warhammer 40,000 are dead or ascended in the contemporary setting. As genetically engineered demigods of war, they would unbalance the grimdarkness considerably. They do appear in the Horus Heresy though. An example from the latter series would be Hastur Sejanus, a member of the Mournival and Horus' best friend. Famed for his even temper and levelheadedness, his death on more or less the first page of the first book is an 'in-universe' example of this, as with him around, the first trilogy likely would never have played out this way, since the plan hinged on Horus' feelings of loneliness and abandonment. However, the arrival of the 8th Edition and the Gathering Storm campaign present to us the revival of Roboute Guilliman. Now he has taken the task of putting the Imperium back together while fighting the advances of his daemonic brothers, who are not quite happy with his return...

Too Cool to Live / int_bcdcf629	comment	Omega Supreme in Transformers: Animated who performed a Heroic Sacrifice the episode that he came online. Subverted when he was revealed to not only have survived but was brainwashed into becoming Megatron's chief weapon. Double Subversion when he ends up back into sleep mode anyway but triple subverted in that he is eventually brought back fully in control of himself and makes it back to his home planet where he is finally recognized as the hero that he always was. Also in TFA, Prowl. Just when he's mastered the cyberninja arts and has become totally awesome, he sacrifices himself to save Detroit. Also in TFA, Blurr. A very competent secret agent who's able to use his superspeed to curb stomp squads of Decepticons. Too bad The Mole realized Blurr was about to blow his cover and had to dispatch him (according to some cut material, he may still be alive...) The newest member of the too cool to live Transformers club, Cliffjumper from Transformers: Prime. Awesome car form? Check. Has cool Viking horns on his head? Check. Voiced by The freaking Rock?! Check. Dead before the second commercial break? Check. Skyquake, a Decepticon version of this Trope, could be considered the Decepticon version of Cliffjumper. Makeshift is another example from Prime. Power to change his appearance? Check. Can replicate the abilities of whoever he changes into? Check. Discovers the location of the Autobot's base? Check. Killed at the end of his debut episode? Bingo. Heck, even the writers confirmed that the reason he was killed off was because he was downright overpowered. And we can add Dreadwing to the list... The Star Saber is an equipment version of this trope. Awesomely powerful, and shattered the episode after Optimus got it.

Too Cool to Live / int_c43df4d8	comment	Really, all the Doctors from Doctor Who qualify to a certain extent. They all get replaced by another awesome incarnation right after regeneration, though, so it's all good. The Tenth Doctor may fit this trope more than most, being the shortest-lived Doctor in canon since he is confirmed to have only lived for 6 years whilst other incarnations such as the 11th and 1st are known to have lived for centuries. The Ninth Doctor also had only one season, making him the shortest Doctor onscreen (except for the War Doctor, who only appeared in the 50th anniversary and a prequel). The DoctorDonna, who had all of the Doctor's experience and Time Lord knowledge combined with human creativity. Father Octavian, from the 2010 series. Iain Glen really is just THAT awesome. Even the Doctor is genuinely bummed out by his death. Mrs. Moore from Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel also qualifies. Rita from The God Complex is intelligent, competent, witty and all-around awesome, to the point that the Doctor jokingly tells Amy she's fired as his companion within a few minutes of meeting her. She is so very doomed. Lampshaded earlier in the episode by Rory. Played With in the case of Jenny, his cloned daughter from the 2008 season. Witty, tough, and capable of standing up to her dad when necessary, as well as proving to be both an Action Hero who very much took after her father in joie de vivre and love of adventure. She got killed at the end of the episode, pulling a Heroic Sacrifice, naturally. Then she was resurrected. Then she has never appeared since.

Kristina definitely had a bunch of enemies in the editor crew - She only got screentime when she was shown finding the idol, during tribal council, and on redemption island. The "recap" before the finale conveniently glossed over how Kristina caused a schism in Rob's tribe so early, and Probst didn't even so much as look in her general direction at the Reunion show.

Gazelle, the crazy, lethal Dark Action Girl. Kingsman: The Golden Circle: Roxy/Lancelot gets killed off at the beginning in an unheroic way, along with the rest of the Kingsmen by Poppy firing missiles at each of their locations. Agent Whiskey, the charming cowboy with a cool laser lasso, ends killed at the hands of Eggsy and Harry when he turns out to be a villain.

Kato, who quite a few people preferred to Kurono before the latter's Character Development (thankfully, he comes back in the manga as well).

Too Cool to Live / int_dab32e3	comment	Zero averted this, thanks to fan outcry over his Heroic Sacrifice. (That, and the creator wanted him to be the new Mega Man but Capcom said no.) Depending on the endings you get, he dies later, but not canonically. In X5, he dies again, but comes back due to more Executive Meddling, and seals himself away at the end of X6. By the end of his own series, he dies permanently...but is brought back as Model ZX in Mega Man ZX along with the Guardians. Mega Man X: Command Mission has Spider, who's so cool that he died before the game even started. Possibly. It's unclear when the real Spider dies, but he definitely never made it to the game's halfway point.

Too Cool to Live / int_db96ded4	comment	Amon/Noatak from The Legend of Korra. He learned how to bloodbend outside of the full moon with his mind by the age 14. At the same age, he left home and went into a raging blizzard by himself and made it out alive. When he was revealed to be a waterbender, his bending was shown to be especially badass. Then Tarrlok blew up the boat they were on. It's understandable considering that no matter how much he could change, he'd still always be broken, but still, it's sad to see such a badass like him go. Book 3 ends with only the least overtly showy and spectacular Red Lotus operative surviving long enough to go back to prison...and he's the Big Bad.

It even sets him up for dying in this way, as the traditional means of mastering the final technique was to kill your master while using it. However, Kenshin's reverse-blade katana saves his master from certain death, yet Kenshin still masters the technique. His master then goes on to save the rest of Kenshin's band from the minions of Shishio, while Kenshin goes to fight the Big Bad himself. However, he does drop out of the story after the prologue of the following arc to keep him from overshadowing the main characters.

Notable examples include the druid Aglain (played by Colin Salmon), the Warrior Monk Alator (Gary Lewis) and the sorcerer Ruadan (Liam Cunningham). That last one was an incredibly rare example of a magic-user who was opposed to Camelot and the Pendragons, but not overtly evil, making his death all the more frustrating.
