Sometimes a character runs into somebody new (usually a girl) and really, really likes them! Unfortunately, their new friend dies by the end of the episode, due to illness or some other factor. They may even end up killing them themselves, possibly without even realizing it! Tears tend to follow. Similar to Victim of the Week, Girl of the Week, Monster of the Week. Compare A Death in the Limelight. A Sub-Trope of One-Shot Character. See Long-Lost Uncle Aesop and Special Aesop Victim for characters who die to ram home the week's lesson. No Real Life Examples, Please! As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Tammy is introduced as a classmate and friend of Cassie's whose mother works with Cassie's mother at the museum and then murdered in the same issue by the new Silver Swan to ensure Wonder Girl will feel enmity and hatred towards her rather than try to save her since Vanessa had been a distant friend to Cassie before being kidnapped and mind raped. | |

A Certain Magical Index: Played With in the Sisters arc. Touma briefly meets Mikoto's "little sister" Misaka, then runs into her again and befriends her, then finds her lying dead in an alley... and later finds another Misaka cleaning up the first's corpse. Turns out that both Misakas are clones of Mikoto, and that the unit who died (#10031) is not the same as the one he spent time with (#10032), but she is the one he was initially introduced to. The rest of the arc is about preventing #10032 and her successors from meeting the same fate. A Certain Scientific Railgun, a P.O.V. Sequel from Mikoto's perspective, plays this much more straight (see the Anime & Manga section above). Touma himself effectively "dies" at the end of the first novel when his memories are destroyed, but for the remainder of the series he fakes being the same person in order to prevent himself from becoming this to Index. |

Angel: The premiere episode devotes a lot of time to Angel befriending a waitress called Tina who's in a dangerous relationship with a vampire. Tina in fact becomes a Sacrificial Lamb to remind Angel that he won't always be able to save an innocent. Season 5's "Why We Fight" involves a man Angel once knew on a World War II submarine that he ended up having to turn into a vampire to save everyone else from drowning. As he's the only vampire Angel turned while having a soul, he's in a limbo between good and evil - unable to take any pleasure from feeding. His death at Angel's hands is implied to be what he was hoping for. |

Date A Live: Mayuri Judgment introduces the titular Mayuri, a girl that constantly spies on Shido's dates with his harem. She is actually an entity created from the girls' residual magical energy, and like them, she has developed feelings for Shido as well. She sacrifices her life to protect Shido at the end of the movie, but at the very least gets to experience love and die peacefully in the arms of someone who truly cared for her. | |

Kaworu Nagisa spends his entire televised lifetime in Neon Genesis Evangelion during episode 24. During this time, he enters a relationship with Shinji (confirmed to be romantic by Word of God), who is forced to kill him at the end of the episode. After everything Shinji went through over the course of the series, this is what serves as Shinji's tipping point, sending him into a suicidal state of depression that serves as the catalyst for much of his actions in the second half of The End of Evangelion. In fact, Kaworu is so prominent of a character that he repeatedly appears in Lilith's messages to Shinji during his time as the judger of humankind, representing the part of Shinji that wishes to reject Instrumentality. | |

Supergirl: "Myriad" Non shows up at CatCo to monologue and see Kara's face as he uses his Mind Control device to force three of her friends to leap off the skyscraper. Two of them we know: James and Winn. The third, Kelly, is a woman who seems to be a friend of Kara's but who has never been mentioned before. Supergirl races to save all three but misses Kelly, who becomes street pizza as a result, so Supergirl has one more thing to angst about. | |

The Sisters arc of A Certain Scientific Railgun begins with Mikoto Misaka meeting one of her rumored clones, MISAKA 9982. Mikoto is having a hard time coming to terms with the experiment not only being real, but active, and the clone is symbolic of that, but the two manage to start bonding nevertheless. 9982 even keeps a gift from Mikoto that she doesn't even like because it was Mikoto that gave it to her. Then Mikoto finds out that that particular clone is scheduled to be killed that night, and isn't able to stop it. Also notable in that the episode starts a shift in tone for that arc that was different than the series so far. | |

One episode of The Powerpuff Girls (1998) involves the titular characters creating an additional Powerpuff Girl... with ingredients that aren't exactly the same ones Prof. Utonium used, resulting in a horribly deformed Powerpuff Girl they called Bunny. Because of the Status Quo Is God rule, at the end of the episode, Bunny explodes into a big ball of light due to her growing unstable. At the end of the episode, the PPGs and the narrator himself mourn her. | |

An episode of Vandread season two sees the Nirvana resupply at an extremely polluted planet, where pretty much every inhabitant is sick. Bart particularly bonds with a terminally-ill girl and resolves to protect her from the Harvester force attacking the planet, resulting in the most Character Development he has seen in the entire series so far. Unfortunately, she succumbs to her illness before the battle is over, and cannot finish a doll of Bart she was making (the hair is still missing). When Bart is given the doll, he shaves his head bald for the rest of the show in memory of her. | |

She gets sick and is carried to the hospital by Spidey, but all they can do is make her comfortable until her liver and kidneys fail.

In Space: Above and Beyond, if you're assigned to the 58th and you aren't in the opening credits, you're doomed. The fullest example of this is Kelly Winslow in the "Never No More"/"The Angriest Angel" two-parter, a supporting character in the episode until Chiggy von Richthofen blows up her escape pod. This prompts brain-injured squadron commander T.C. McQueen to personally go out and blow Chiggy out of space. | |

Once Upon a Time: "The Stable Boy" deals with the backstory of Regina and her former lover Daniel - who was beneath her station and ended up killed by her mother so she would become queen. Snow White's unintentional involvement in the death forms the basis of Regina's vendetta against her. Hercules and Meg uniquely in Season 5, who are already dead when the episode starts. As it's set in the Underworld, they have both died at the hands of Hades's dog Cerberus, and Hercules was a former mentor of Snow's. After helping her defeat Cerberus, he and Meg get to move on. "Where Bluebirds Fly" introduces the Tin Man as a childhood friend of Zelena's who is cursed to slowly turn to tin unless Zelena saves him with a device that strips her of her magic. In the flashback, she refuses and allows her friend to essentially die. In the present, it's a moment of character growth for her when she sacrifices her magic using the same device to help Regina. |

Sword Art Online has done this at least three times: The second novel (a collection of short Interquels to the Aincrad arc) introduces Sachi, a girl who developed feelings for Kirito only to die tragically by the end of her story. Again in the second novel, Kirito and Asuna adopt a young girl named Yui, who is revealed to be an AI and dies tragically, albeit with the hope that she can one day be revived. Come the third novel this is Subverted, with Yui successfully coming Back from the Dead and becoming a Recurring Character. The Mother's Rosario arc centers around Asuna making a new online friend named Yuuki, who is later revealed to be dying of AIDS. |

Star Trek: Voyager has Tuvix - a Transporter Accident Fusion Dance of the stoic Tuvok, and the enthusiastic Neelix. Tuvix has characteristics of both men, bordering on The Ace, and he's certainly a handy crewman to have around. Then the Doctor and Harry Kim find a solution with the transporter to reverse the effects, which should be a cause for celebration until Tuvix utters the Wham Line: "I don't want to die." The episode then becomes a metaphorical trolley problem - let Tuvok and Neelix stay dead for the sake of this new being, or put Tuvix through the transporter to save two of their friends? Status Quo Is God on Voyager, and since you're on this particular page, you probably know where this is headed. | |
