Why Won't You Die? | comment |
An old and well-used Stock Phrase, most frequently used by villains who have seen a Made of Iron hero calmly walk through Death Traps, fight their way out of a carefully laid ambush, Outrun the Fireball from an explosion, or pull a Scope Snipe on their highly paid killers. And really, at that point, can you blame them? Variations: "What does it take to kill you?", "How many times do I have to kill you?", "Why are you still alive?", "Just die already!", and "Why won't you STAY dead?!!", which are generally reserved for when the hero comes Back from the Dead, or returns after a No One Could Survive That! and/or Never Found the Body scenario. Although it's far more common for the villains to say it, it's not exclusive to them. If it's a good guy saying it, it will most commonly come from a Muggle type of hero or character about some supernatural or Implacable Man villain, or by someone who is closer to the Anti-Hero side of the Morality Axis than to Ideal Hero and is getting frustrated with their enemy seeming to have Joker Immunity. Subtrope of Staying Alive. Contrast Dead to Begin With. See also Healing Factor and Pulling Themselves Together for reasons that these people/things will not stay dead. Also Prepare to Die and You Have No Chance to Survive for what this trope defies. For Video Game Boss Battle equivalents that can provoke this reaction in players, see Marathon Boss, Sequential Boss, and Damage-Sponge Boss. Compare and contrast Suicide Dare for expressing the wish that someone would take a more active role in their death. NOTE: This trope is about when the phrase (or something similar) is said in the story. For dead characters whose deaths never seem to "stick," see Death Is Cheap. |

What many player say when facing a Necron army. Almost all Necron infantry has a rule that gives a slain soldier a chance to stand back up — previously called "We'll be back!" with certain stipulations, then called simply "reanimation protocols" with different stipulations. Furthermore, the Necron player can give his units an even greater chance to get back up. And as if that weren't enough, Necron vehicles all trade the ability to reanimate with simply being nearly impossible to take down in the first place. | |

Samurai Jack: "Samurai, samurai... why won't YOU DIIIIIE!?" It gets even worse for Aku in the 5th season. After failing to kill Jack by plot or assassin, Aku destroys all the means of getting back to the past, hoping that Jack will someday die of old age. Turns out being flung into the future also made Jack The Ageless. |

In Bleach: Szayelaporro says this to Mayuri during their fight. "Why?! I destroyed all of your organs and tendons! So why won't you die?!" Nnoitra screams this during his fight with Kenpachi, who is not only taking all of his attacks without apparently feeling them but is also laughing with glee even as he gets torn apart. "You've pissed me off long enough. Die, God Damnit!" Ulquiorra more or less asks a freshly revived and Hollowfied Ichigo this, stating that he can't possibly be alive and demanding to know just what the hell he really is. Driscoll's last words were to ask Yamamoto to die already after his stolen attack had no effect on him. Yamamoto then reduced him to a pile of ashes. Candice says this to Kenpachi when she zaps him with lightning twice and Meninas punches him into a crater. The Red Shirts of Squad 11 shout this to Giselle Gewelle after she shows no signs of pain and keeps talking when they slash her from shoulder to stomach. Ichibei thinks he has thoroughly defeated Yhwach and has crushed his opponent to death like a feeble, black ant, until he finds Yhwach standing behind him. He demands to know why Yhwach won't die, which leads to the reveal of Yhwach's true abilities. |

DEATH BATTLE!: In the battle between Genos and War Machine, Rhodey continues to No-Sell Genos' Incinerator Attack, leading Genos to cry out "Come on! Die already!" In the battle between Goku Black and Reverse Flash, both combatants travel back in time and kill their opponent's past selves, but since they are both immune to changes in the timeline, neither of them are affected. They scream at the same time, "WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?!" While not said in the episode by the combatants, the battle track for Frieza VS Megatron, Final Formers, has this as part of it's lyrics, referring to how difficult it is to kill them. |

Jagged Alliance: In Jagged Alliance 2, the Big Bad's lackey Elliot seems to be made of iron, despite being a sniveling coward and a sycophant. He bears the brunt of his boss's abuse as the success of the player's troops further enrage Queen Deidrenna, culminating ultimately to him telling her that they are now entering her capital city, prompting her to shoot Elliot in the head at point blank range...which he survives. Deidrenna proceeds to berate him on not being able to even die properly. It's possible for the player to engage Elliot in combat, and he has most hit points of all enemies in the game. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise: The evil Mirror Universe version of Dr. Phlox, frustrated at how long the Tholian captive he's been ordered to eliminate is managing to cling to life (especially since it's transmitting a short-range distress signal to all the other Tholians in the area, and they're rapidly closing in on the I.S.S. Enterprise), growls "Will you kindly die!?" | |

The Simpsons: In "I'm With Cupid", the skywriter with whom Homer has been struggling finally succumbs to the urge to vent when Homer gets hit in the head with a variety of things while hanging upside down on the plane: In "Treehouse of Horror XIV", after Homer kills Death, the Springfield mafia pick a bad time to deal with Frankie the Squealer. In "Homer Scissorhands", Homer is driven mad by all the constant chatter by the women he styles, driving him to commit barbercide. He causally walks over and drinks a glass of blue cleaning liquid for his tools, only for nothing to happen. |

Super powers and super power-related phlebotinium allowed several characters from Heroes to cheat death. Claire (and Adam Monroe, later Sylar and Arthur Petrelli, and sometimes Peter) can't die; Claire's father Noah can survive being Moe Greened by Suresh thanks to Claire's blood; Peter bounces back from a shotgun blast thanks to a boy's power of healing; characters have also died in timelines that were subsequently kyboshed. | |

Naturally, Sanakan gets frustrated by this, eventually slamming her Holy Blade onto its back repeatedly, cursing "Just fucking DIE ALREADY! DIE!" Hugh cannot speak, but from how his internal narration remarks that "the blasted thing's not dying", the readers can feel that he is getting impatient as well. | |

Not to mention the various attempts on Paul Robinson's life. He has been pushed off a cliff (twice), sent poisoned letters, almost strangled to death, shot in the chest by his own son, kidnapped and mind-tortured, suffered from a life-threatening brain tumor, and pushed off the mezzanine of a building. Even he has expressed surprise over not being dead yet. |

SCP Foundation: SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile. The name is actually a misnomer, as it implies that it can be killed. The only thing they haven't tried yet is a 300 megaton nuke, and that's because the thought of a giant regenerating adapts-to-whatever-you're-using-on-it lizard that can resist nukes is too horrible to bear. The closest the Foundation has come to destroying it is the discovery of a parallel universe where it's death (and that of all other life) has occurred. Knowledge of this anomaly gave 682 a panic attack. | |

In Supernatural, this has become what every force of evil (and sometimes good) thinks of the Winchesters (and Castiel). They have died literally COUNTLESS times, but none of it sticks. Even Death himself gets frustrated at this, saying he's mad at them for constantly coming back to life and ruining the natural order. This gets so bad that eventually the King of Hell imposes what is basically a "stop trying" order on killing the Winchesters, although this doesn't stop some of his (stupider) demons from trying. | |

Vicious is both amazed and furious that Spike and he are evenly matched and all of Vicious's efforts (past and present) to kill Spike have failed despite the fact that Spike no longer shares the bloodthirsty outlook that Vicious adheres to, and which Vicious sees as being the key to being strong. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: When Asuka's trying to stab an Angel that's been so strengthened by hatching in an active volcano, her knife can't pierce it: "Die, damn you!" There is also Asuka fighting the 14th angel. "Why won't you collapse damn you!?" A much, much nastier example can be found in End of Evangelion. This happens three times, maybe. The first is when the JSSDF decide to try and destroy Unit 02 with a battleship, a couple of artillery and tank battalions and a small army. Needless to say, they fail. Then Asuka fights the nine Mass Production Evas. She kills them all. And then they regenerate, despite being cut in half, missing the head, missing an arm etc. Asuka probably was thinking this, except for the fact she had been stabbed in the eye with a lance. Then, Unit 02 and Asuka are still alive after having been eviscerated, eaten, and stabbed. And she tries to reach up and attack them. So they split her arm and impale her again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And then they run out of spears, but by that time, Unit 02 and Asuka are both already dead. And then, just to be sure, they take some of the remains and eat on-the-fly, and drop them as soon as EVA-01 shows up. In the original Gainax Ending, Rei asks "Why am I still alive?" In the original version of EVA-01 versus Zeruel, Zeruel still has the stamina to moan, even as it is being eaten. Don't ask how, it just won't die. In the Rebuild Version of this battle, Zeruel kept getting beaten up for about 20 minutes, before EVA-01 and Shinji initiate Third Impact and cause Zeruel to explode in a huge explosion of blood (not as much as Sahaquiel, though. It flooded Tokyo-3 completely by dying). |

In Me, Myself & Irene, one scene has Charlie finding a cow lying in the road, and he tries to put the poor thing out of its misery, thinking it had been hit by a car. It refuses to die despite having a gun emptied into its head, being pistol whipped, and then choked unconscious. A deleted scene taking place afterward has a farmer warn Charlie to watch out for his cow, who got loose and has a habit of taking naps in the road. The cow shows up again before the credits, bandaged up but otherwise okay. | |

Parodied in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where King Arthur maims the Black Knight, who continues to try fighting even after losing his arm... and his other arm... and his leg... and his other leg. He decides to call it a draw at this point, until Arthur starts to leave, at which points the Black Knight declares he'll bite his legs off. | |

Injustice 2: Non-canon pre-fight banter between the Joker (long since dead in the Injustice universe) and other fighters has the latter wondering why the Joker simply refuses to stay dead despite a Fallen Hero Superman unambiguously killing the Joker with his bare hands by punching a hole through his chest. One of Red Hood's occasional clash quotes when he talks second is "Why are you still alive?" |

In Homestuck, this is invoked when Caliborn blasts a few hundred full metal jacket rounds through Gamzee's torso with an assault rifle. He's still alive. Minutes later, he repeats the process, and beats the shit out of him with a magical crowbar. Still alive. Word of God chalks it up to in-universe clowns basically being inexplicably invincible, or at least ludicrously difficult to kill. Happens again with Gamzee when Terezi invokes the trope by name when trying to stab him with her caneblades after having broken off their stormy kismessitude. |

Banished from the Hero's Party: When Red and Rit are sent hurtling down an elevator shaft in the ancient elf ruins, they survive by virtue of Danan being at the bottom and using one of his techniques to send them flying back up.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017). Poirot is shot by a suspect who confesses to the crime, then tries to finish off Poirot, saying "Why aren't you dead yet?" Afterwards Poirot realises that's a fair question as the suspect is a marksman and a surgeon. He never intended to kill Poirot; he was Taking the Heat and wanted his confession to appear convincing. | |

In the DuckTales (2017) episode "The Duck Knight Returns", a fight breaks out between two people dressed as Darkwing Duck: Jim Sterling, the actor who played Darkwing Duck in the Show Within a Show, and the actor playing Darkwing in the film reboot, with Sterling being the more antagonistic of the two. Over the course of the fight, the more heroic of the two Darkwings gets beaten down over and over again, only to keep getting back up, prompting the villainous Darkwing to angrily demand "Why won't you stay down?!" The line carries some added irony, since the Show Within a Show Darkwing's tendency towards being a Determinator is what inspired the heroic Darkwing to take up the role in the first place. | |

The Order of the Stick: In this strip, Nale tells Elan, "I'm reasonably certain I've already killed you once today. I'd hate for things to get repetitive." Big Bad Xykon combines the two phrasings, albeit for non-main characters in this strip (source for the page pic). Of course, a skeleton saying this to a bunch of ghosts is charmingly hypocritical. |

Resident Evil: In Resident Evil 5, Irving drops this to Chris and Sheva before his boss fight. In Resident Evil 6, Ada has this to say about the chainsaw-wielding B.O.W. Ubistvo: Resident Evil 7: Ethan spouts something to this effect after winning the chainsaw battle against Jack. Lucas growls out a "Mutherf**ker! You're supposed to die!" after you solve his Happy Birthday puzzle. In the Not A Hero DLC, he likewise becomes more frustrated at his inability to kill Chris. Similarly, in Resident Evil 2 (Remake): When the heavily mutated William Birkin appears after seemingly having been "killed" three times already, cue a very frustrated and desperate holler from Claire: And when he shows up AGAIN for one more final battle: Leon also feels this way about Mr. X in his scenario. In Resident Evil Village, Miranda is less than amused when she sees that Ethan is still walking after she ripped his heart out. It starts calmly, but as the battle goes on she becomes increasingly desperate in her cries for his death. |

In Undertale, Undyne's Boss Banter includes shouting several variations on this phrase. Sans near the end of his boss fight on the No Mercy route tells you now would be a good time to die and nonverbally does it when he goes ballistic on you when you weather his final barrage of bones of lasers, slamming your SOUL into the border areas repeatedly while his eyes glow brightly. Considering that you probably did a lot of actual dying during the past dozen or so failures taking him on, you're probably not so inclined to really care what he wants you to do. A Tear Jerker variation during the Pacifist Run ending. Asriel in his One-Winged Angel Physical God who controls the timeline and can reset everything whenever he wants, nihilistic mocks you for still clinging for pointless hope as he tries to destroy you and reset everything, yet as you/Frisk survive every one of his godly powerful attacks he begins to question why you aren’t Deader than Dead already and then once you saved all your friends with The Power of Love and reach out Asriel himself, he has tragic breakdown over the prospect of you (the only one who can understand him) leaving his control and screams while firing a Wave-Motion Gun “JUST LET ME WIN!�. He gives up soon after and transforms back to his child form and apologies for everything. |

Exalted: Same as the above often goes for Lunars, who pack massive damage absorption, lots of health levels, regeneration and top it off with ability to outright not die when killed so long as they have Essence to spare. Alchemicals have a couple similar abilities — getting massive layers of armour installed and getting (a limited amount of times) after getting killed. In general, any Exalt can stay invulnerable for some time by using perfect defences to evade attacks, but it's mainly the above that may roll with taking them and just keeping going despite the damage. |

Sin-Eaters are human enough to die from enough Lethal damage, and gaining roll penalties as they get more battered. However, they come with increased resistance against disease and poison, Mana Shield, and can restore lost health by destroying Mementos or ritual-murdering someone else. Their Geist can also bring them back from the dead, although this comes with Sanity Slippage and worse. And if they have the Stygian Caul, they become as hard to put down as the Prometheans above without the weakness against fire. | |

In Dragon Ball Z Abridged: As quoted above, Freeza tells Goku to stop not-dying when he begins to grow frustrated with him. Vegeta says this quote whilst trying to punch Gohan into oblivion as he turns into an Oozaru. A bit later, he screams, "Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me! They're still alive?!" after trying and failing to kill Goku, Gohan and Krillin all at once with an explosion. Vegeta does this again against Cell. After Cell No-Sells the Final Flash, Vegeta blasts him over and over with smaller attacks and shouts this at the top of his lungs. |

Walker, Texas Ranger: The 1998 episode "Warriors" has an instance of this, where Walker tries to kill the enforcer of a supremacist group, whose ringleader is attempting to create an army of genetically superior, undefeatable soldiers to aid in his ultimate goal of world domination. The trope comes into play when Walker and Trivette were attempting to stop the group from kidnapping a genetic researcher. After Trivette is roughed up by the unbeatable enforcer and about to be killed, Walker shows up and attempts to shoot the enforcer... emptying his gun while shooting him in the head and chest. The enforcer merely absorbs the bullets as a dumbfounded Walker tries to reload his gun, before Walker is also beaten up. After the villains leave, the dazed Walker and Trivette try to figure out why they couldn't even so much as make the enforcer flinch, despite following procedures and aiming at vital areas. (Not to worry: In the end, Walker — with some help — does figure out a way to beat the enforcer.) | |

Mass Effect 2: It hangs a lampshade on this after Commander Shepard is brought back to life. The Reapers are definitely getting tired of Shepard. At one point, the mercenary boss during Grunt's recruitment mission screams "There are three of them! Three! Anything can be killed if you'd just do your damn jobs!" as Shepard's squad smashes through her army. Any player feels this with enemies covered with Plot Armor in the third game. Kai Leng deserves a special mention because you just know that if the mechanics were being fair during their fight on Thessia, you could blow him to pieces no problem. |

Prometheans are the hardest one to put down. For a game that averts Critical Existence Failure, Prometheans play it straight. They don't fall unconscious nor gain any roll penalty from Bashing or Lethal damage, the only way to put them down is to deal enough Aggravated damage (which may cause roll penalty if you manage to hack one of their limbs off). Easier said than done when the creature in question still functions at full capacity, and very likely to disagree with you hacking them to pieces. Fortunately, fire deals Aggravated damage to them easily. Unfortunately, they can just grab electric cords and heal themselves and even if you do put one down, they get a free resurrection out of it. | |

Far Cry 3, both Jason and Vaas to each other. Vaas tries to hunt, burn, drown, and execute/bury Jason, and Jason still gets back up. Jason tries to shoot Vaas multiple times and it barely slows him down, because Jason is hallucinating from the knife wound and shooting hallucinations, while the real Vaas is about 100 yards away. The player can either shoot down about 20 Vaas ghosts or rush through the melee-only hallucinations and just kill him already. This is also an insult to both the player and Vaas because repeatedly shooting Vaas instead of spicing it up means that the player is not improvising and stuck on the same level over and over (insanity), and Vaas is repeatedly trying to permanently kill a player character. Yeah, good luck with that. | |

Gargoyles: Demona gets such a line in "The Mirror". Towards the beginning of the episode, she orders Puck to rid her of "the human Elisa Maza". Puck playfully misconstrues this and, rather than use deadly force, turns Elisa into a gargoyle. When Gargoyle-Elisa shows up to kick ass and take names, Demona does a Double Take before raging, "What does it take to destroy you?!" — which is somewhat hilarious as she should have realized Elisa was still alive after she made Puck "do the same to every human in the city". In the four-part episode "City of Stone", a man in a mask who Demona identifies as "the Hunter" shows up to stop her. She says somewhat incredulously, "How many times must I destroy you?!" Subverted twofold: Demona has killed previous Hunters before, but their descendants always take up the mantle; and in this case the man in the mask was actually Macbeth, the one person she wants very much never to kill (since she would magically die along with him). |

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor: Orc Captains and Warchiefs who killed Tallion will sometimes say this after they've already killed him. Others speak a variation, eagerly killing to kill him again. Inversely, sometimes Orc Captains or Warchiefs will say something along the lines of "Don't you wish *I* would die already?" They can only be perma-killed by beheading. | |

On NCIS, Leon Vance once survived a Uriah Gambit with help from Eli David. Years later, an assassination attempt sends him to the hospital. While there, he's visited by his twice-attempted killer Agent McCallister, who decides to pull a Sickbed Slaying while saying "Just for once, can't you just die right?" Fortunately, Gibbs had already slipped Vance a knife (Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife), which he puts to good use defending himself. | |

Animorphs: Visser Four yells "Why don't you die?!" after the characters survive yet another should-have-been-fatal blow (see, their trip through time to follow him was part of a Deal with the Devil — an evil Sufficiently Advanced Alien said one dying was the price. The alien's rival and sometime ally of our heroes added the stipulation that only one could die on that trip, so the team discovers that they're suddenly Nigh-Invulnerable, regenerating even fatal wounds instantly.) The Animorphs' recurring nemesis Visser Three has much cause to see the Animorphs the same way. Not only that, but in the book where they fight David, Rachel thinks to herself about how it's going to be very frustrating and scary to have a mortal enemy who has their powers, and she thinks of the tricks that David could pull, and has pulled on them already: "I was beginning to understand why Visser Three hated us so much." |

Often heard as a traditional response to any player forced to oppose a BattleMech classified as a 'zombie flashbulb' in BattleTech. 'Zombie' means that the 'Mech is designed with thick armor, hardy physical construction, and will generally keep fighting short of shooting out the fusion engine or the cockpit, and 'flashbulb' means that the 'Mech carries an arsenal designed solely around energy weapons, which have no volatile ammunition to detonate and no limit on how many shots they can fire beyond the risk of overheating. This translates into a BattleMech that can be reduced to a head perched precariously atop an engine with a leg attached that might still be attacking. Few BattleMechs are naturally that tenacious, but there are designs which take Made of Iron to a very literal extreme. The Archangel in 4 of its 6 variants (the other 2 mount heavy explosive components). It's 100 tons (as heavy as mechs get), and has max armor (307), so combined with internal structure it can feasibly absorb over 400 damage and keep fighting. If that wasn't enough, it's got a Compact Engine and Gyro, cutting the chance of engine or gyro hits in half, from 6/12 and 4/12 to 3/12 and 2/12. Oh, and it carries several Head and Center torso mounted weapons. |

A flashback to that event shows the guy shooting Tony screaming "Why won't you fucking die?!!" just before he runs out of bullets.

One Piece: Crocodile asks this question of Luffy after impaling him and dehydrating him, in that order. A lot of Luffy's pre-Time Skip opponents are pretty much asking this question towards the end of their fights with him — the thing is, Luffy doesn't know how to die. Silent one from Arlong, after ripping off Zoro's bandage and seeing his wound. He's so shocked that Zoro managed to fight in such a condition that he decides he has to kill him as quickly as possible, because he's scared of what Zoro might do if he remained alive. From the same arc Kuroobi says it after giving Sanji a brutal No Holds Barred Beat Down underwater even dragging him down deeper causing decompression to crush Sanji’s stomach making him cough up blood, yet to Kuroobi’s astonishment Sanji is still alive and pointing his finger. Rob Lucci's facial expression when Luffy survives his ultimate attack for a third time is a perfect mixture of this, Oh, Crap!, and This Cannot Be!. Taken to a logic extreme with Whitebeard after Blackbeard and his crew have shot him at least 152 times until they ran out of ammo. Shiryu says they should just push him over since he’s clearly dead, but Whitebeard corrects that by managing to speak at which Blackbeard exclaims “You’re still alive?� in pure Dirty Coward terror. In the second round of their fight, Katakuri actually starts getting angry when Luffy refuses to stay down despite getting pummeling and supposedly being unable to counterattack. Eventually, he comes to respect Luffy as a Worthy Opponent because he's survived this long, to the point where he won't let anyone else interfere with their fight, not even his siblings. Similar to the Whitebeard example, in a Flashback Smug Snake Shogun Orochi screams this verbatim after discovering that his nemesis Kozuki Oden was too badass to be die from being Stewed Alive for a full hour. |

Iji: Both the Tasen and Komato ask this about Iji, whether you play a Pacifist Run or Genocide Run. A variant of this is also used directly if you use a checkpoint before dying in a certain boss battle. In fact, it's possible to use both checkpoints in the level and still make it back to Asha. The player has to know the game inside and out and go well out of his way to pull it off, and Asha is absolutely infuriated at the implausibility of it all. And whenever you're fighting Asha, he will occasionally scream out in frustration Iji herself will sometimes shout this at her enemies if you're playing as a One Woman Army. |

In Darkest Dungeon, the Prophet was a man with uncanny knowledge of the Ancestor's experiments into monstrous things. When he began to inflame the people of the Hamlet against the Ancestor with his preaching, the Ancestor tried to kill him, first through locking him in a pillory until he starved — which he didn't. Then he tried to drown the Prophet in the ocean... which also failed to take. Then he just started furiously stabbing the Prophet over and over. That also failed to take. Ultimately, the Ancestor got rid of him by simply exposing him to the nature of the excavations beneath the Estate, which broke the Prophet's mind and sent him fleeing, screaming madness and gibbering nonsense. | |

Polnareff says this to Vanilla Ice in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure after stabbing him all the way in the mouth. Vanilla Ice tells him that he "doesn't have time for dying", but Polnareff later realizes that he had been made into a vampire by Dio and can't be killed by such means. | |

Game of Thrones: When the Clegane brothers finally face off in "The Bells", the now undead Gregor is easily able to shrug off everything Sandor throws at him, even what would be fatal wounds for normal people. Naturally, Sandor gets frustrated by this, eventually shouting "Fucking die!" Then he tackles Gregor through a crumbling wall, sending them both falling to their death in an inferno below. | |

Reversed in Emperor: Battle for Dune. During the intro, the ruling body of House Ordos encourages you by showing the former supreme commander's... head. Connected to a machine so that it stays completely conscious and contemplates its failure for all eternity. It only has one line: "Let me die." If you lose twice during the campaign, your head gets hooked up to the same machine, and you face that commander once again. "Why won't they just let us die?" Fear is an efficient tool of management. Failure is not an option. |

In DEEN's movie for the Unlimited Blade Works route of Fate/stay night, Lancer is forced to commit suicide. He stabs himself in the heart and hits the ground, going still. It turns out he isn't dead yet as he kills Kirei, the one who forced him to commit suicide, a few second later. Kirei's corpse lands on Lancer and the latter groans before going still again. Shinji, who was in the room, takes this chance to try raping Rin, who's tied up and also in the room. But before Shinji can, Lancer gets up. Shinji says this trope word-for-word in English dub. | |

After Steel responds to the predictable Curb-Stomp Battle that ensues by continuing to keep getting up no matter how hard Luthor hits him, Luthor — after first mocking the increasing number of injuries that Steel is racking up — bellows "Are you still getting up?

Warhammer 40,000: What many player say when facing a Necron army. Almost all Necron infantry has a rule that gives a slain soldier a chance to stand back up — previously called "We'll be back!" with certain stipulations, then called simply "reanimation protocols" with different stipulations. Furthermore, the Necron player can give his units an even greater chance to get back up. And as if that weren't enough, Necron vehicles all trade the ability to reanimate with simply being nearly impossible to take down in the first place. The same thing applies to the "Feel No Pain" rule, which gives models a 33% chance to ignore any wounds that don't cause an instant kill. Not to mention the "It Will Not Die" rule that grants models the ability to regenerate. |

Doctor Who: "I CANNOT DIE!!! I!!! AM!!! DAVROS!!!" "Dalek" has the Doctor yelling, "Why don't you just die!" to the title monster in a death machine. He went to a lot of effort to wipe out their race at the cost of his own, and isn't happy this one slipped through the cracks. "The Sound of Drums": Averted by the Master after shooting the unkillable Jack with his laser screwdriver: "And the good thing is, he's not dead for long! I GET TO KILL HIM AGAIN!" In "Kill the Moon", this is anticipated by the Twelfth Doctor as a problem, should they try to shoot him — because right now he's not sure, but he might just keep regenerating forever, and that would take a while. Honestly, villains say some variant of this about the Doctor all the time. Speaking of Jack, on Torchwood, his enemies (particularly John Hart when they're first reunited) are a little bit annoyed that they can't permanently get rid of him. |

In the first two books of the Silverwing series, Shade becomes very used to his nemesis Goth surviving seemingly impossible situations. (Caliban: "Chances are he's dead..." Shade: "He doesn't die.") In the third book, he rages this trope inwardly when he faces Goth in the bat underworld — not because Goth won't die, 'cause he had at that point, but that he won't do so in a way that would involve no longer plaguing Shade and his family. | |

In Madhouse (1990), Jesse Bannister is an anchor at a news station that regularly does man-on-the-street questions. As houseguests slowly take over her house and her life, she gets increasingly unhinged, leading her to ask "How would you kill someone?" to her interviewees. The very thinly veiled subtext of her rant after the segment (in which she complains that the drug mentioned by a doctor is almost impossible to get a hold of, and that bleach in the bean dip just gave her guests diarrhea) is that she tried several of their suggestions and nothing worked. | |

Ninja Scroll: Jubei towards Big Bad Gemma, especially since Jubei thought he had already killed him once! As Jubei finds out when Gemma resurfaces as the leader of the 8 Devils, Gemma has Complete Immortality as his special power, he'll simply heal any injury he gets, including Jubei cutting off his head in the past, and even getting his head bashed in and getting cut in half during the climax. He ends up getting encased in molten gold and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, trapping him forever in an undying golden Hell | |

From Disney's Aladdin: Jafar says this almost verbatim to Aladdin during the climax.note At this point in the film, Jafar has already sealed Aladdin in a collapsing cavern, knocked him out and hurled him into the ocean, and cast him all the way to the Arctic wastes. His frustration is pretty understandable. And again in Aladdin: The Return of Jafar, after the Genie saves Al from being executed. |

Top Gear once tried to destroy a Toyota Hilux by having it suffering a series of increasingly terrible accidents. Driving down stairs, driving into a tree, leaving it at the beach at low-tide, driving through a hut, dropping a caravan on it, and bashing it with a wrecking ball didn't kill it. So they set it on fire. That didn't work either. So they tried again in a later episode and cranked it up. It didn't work either. | |

However, a minute later Lizard King's dazed and not quite with it victim comes to and stands up off the floor, prompting Lizard King to rant at him about how he should be dead. Despite how dazed Rex is, he gets enough of a Heroic Second Wind to beat Lizard King senseless before collapsing once again. | |

From New World of Darkness: Prometheans are the hardest one to put down. For a game that averts Critical Existence Failure, Prometheans play it straight. They don't fall unconscious nor gain any roll penalty from Bashing or Lethal damage, the only way to put them down is to deal enough Aggravated damage (which may cause roll penalty if you manage to hack one of their limbs off). Easier said than done when the creature in question still functions at full capacity, and very likely to disagree with you hacking them to pieces. Fortunately, fire deals Aggravated damage to them easily. Unfortunately, they can just grab electric cords and heal themselves and even if you do put one down, they get a free resurrection out of it. Sin-Eaters are human enough to die from enough Lethal damage, and gaining roll penalties as they get more battered. However, they come with increased resistance against disease and poison, Mana Shield, and can restore lost health by destroying Mementos or ritual-murdering someone else. Their Geist can also bring them back from the dead, although this comes with Sanity Slippage and worse. And if they have the Stygian Caul, they become as hard to put down as the Prometheans above without the weakness against fire. |

In BlazBlue, one of Ragna's battle cries is "Die! Die already!" In Jin's Story Mode in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, he says this in one path after Nu refuses to stay down. Hazama/Terumi also does this a lot, usually when a particularly stubborn character starts interfering with his plans and/or shows smug defiance despite his best efforts to break them. Terumi's true form, Susanoo, has one of the most vicious yet emblematic examples of the trope out there with about half of his battle quotes amounting to assorted death threats and yells of just what horrible suffering he's inflicting on his enemy. His theme, 'MUST DIE', is this trope distilled into musical form with lyrics like "WHEN YOU DIE, WHERE'S YOUR GOD?!" and invitations for his enemies to give in to pain as he murders them. Special mention goes to his "Strike of The Possessed God" attack. |

In one of the endings of Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, Ace (who has had his heel nature exposed to the cast) is discovered by Snake to have been the one who killed his sister, Clover. He proceeds to empty an entire clip into the enraged Snake, including a shot to the forehead, and Snake still gets up and tries to kill him. He then exclaims this trope's title exactly. | |

Hellsing: At some point in the series, almost every recurring character receives this line or similar for their astounding survivability. One noteworthy instance of Alucard's insane durability has him flying a stealth plane at breakneck speed into a vampire Nazi-controlled battleship, wading into a hail of bullets and grenades from its crew, then taking over a dozen gut shots from an enchanted bullet the size of his noggin. | |

Done in YuYu Hakusho, although the circumstances are a little different than normal. When Kurama faces off with the elder Toguro, he tricks Toguro into being caught by a cursed tree that inescapably binds its victims, then fills their heads with hallucinations while it drains the life energy out of them. Thus, although he is simply bound to the tree, Toguro lives in an eternal hallucination of delivering fatal blow after fatal blow to Kurama, only for Kurama to shrug it off. | |

Infinity: Promixa Midnight, one of Thanos's Elite Mooks, utters this word for word◊ while having a glorious Villainous Breakdown during her earthquaking fight with Luke Cage in New York. In fairness to Midnight, prior to coming to Earth she had conqured thousands of worlds with Thanos and killed many powerful cosmic beings with him. So the idea of any non-immortal, let alone a puny Earthling like Luke, giving her so much trouble and being able to No-Sell her full might understandably shatters her arrogance and freaks her the hell out. | |

During Triple H and The Undertaker's match at WrestleMania 27, nothing Hunter hit Taker with would keep him down. Pedigree? Nope. Three Pedigrees? Not even close. Steel chair shot to the head and The Undertaker's very own Tombstone Piledriver? gets a two and a half count... Triple H loses it: | |

In Crusader Kings II, if you're playing as a child character, your regent will sometimes try to kill you in order to usurp your throne. Multiple times. If you survive all of the attempts (usually by dumb luck), they will eventually go insane and an event◊ will pop up where they try to stab you to death in your sleep, all the while yelling the trope name word-for-word as he/she gets dragged away by your guards. Meanwhile, you have no idea what's going on. | |

In Full Metal Panic!, Sousuke has a variant of this towards Gauron, most notably in TSR where Sousuke pretty much cries out, "But you're supposed to be—" with Gauron finishing, "dead?". | |
