* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'':
** In [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline canon]], Asuna gets a good fight against [[AxCrazy Kuradeel]], only to get the DistressBall, forcing Kirito to finish Kuradeel off. Asuna in TheAbridgedSeries never gets the ball, so she finishes off Kuradeel.
** [[EldritchAbomination The Skull Reaper]], the titular game's 75th boss, puts up a brutal fight with its speed and OneHitKill attacks before it's finally destroyed by the entire raid party. In the abridged series, Skull Reaper only gets a short amount of time to show that it was probably intended to be just as bad as canon (as it one-shots the party tanks)[[ZeroEffortBoss before it glitches out]] [[AdaptationalWimp and self-destructs]]. Of course, [[GameBreakingBug its abrupt death didn't open the exit door, leaving the raid party stranded]].

* This is all over the place in ''Fanfic/AllAssortedAnimorphsAUs''. In several chapters, Edriss 562 is killed with her host instead of on her own, and Tom and/or his second Yeerk are killed by someone other than Rachel. Just as many Animorphs survive the war in "What if the Auximorphs joined the team right away?", but the party dwindles over the course of years instead of the Auxiliaries all dying at once.

** Dr. Wheelo also receives this treatment. In canon, he is killed by Goku's Spirit Bomb. In ''Abridged'', due to now being a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, the heroes instead wish him a new body...which is hardly able to contain his now ginormous brain, and the ''Broly'' adaptation confirms that he died of brain cancer.

** While the members of the Sound Five (barring Kimimaro and Tayuya, [[SparedByTheAdaptation who manage to escape alive]]) are killed at the same point in time as in canon, Kidomaru, Sakon and Ukon suffer different deaths, partially owed to them fighting different opponents: Kidomaru is EatenAlive by Shino's kikai beetles, while Sakon and Ukon get punched by Sakura (the former in the skull, the latter in the torso [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill after already being poisoned]]). Jirobo is the only one to avert this, being killed by a MegatonPunch to the chest from Choji.

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
** In the official canon, the Namekian Great Elder Guru dies of natural causes because of his old age. ''Abridged'' looks like it'll go in the same direction, so Guru [[DeathbedConfession confesses]] that he single-handedly caused the Great Drought that ravaged their planet, then pinned the blame on the Albino Namekians, causing the green-skinned Namekians to exterminate them. However, Guru fails to die after this, so the enraged Namekians rip him limb-from-limb and [[ImAHumanitarian devour]] [[EatenAlive him]] and village elder Moori [[KlingonPromotion claims the mantle of Great Elder]].
*** Ironically, ''Kai Abridged'''s RapidFireComedy AdaptationDistillation would in turn keep the original death intact and remove the NoodleIncident above. His last words instead being "[[RunningGag I am hillarious]] [[FountainOfMemes and you will quote everything I say.]]" One of the Namekians then says "Ah, he'll be missed."
** Goku and Yamcha both die differently in Trunks's timeline in the abridged series. In canon, Goku dies of a virus that he was infected with that attacks the heart, while Yamcha is killed by the androids along with the other Z Fighters. In the abridged series, Goku dies of a heart attack that resulted from high cholesterol due to eating too much bacon, and Yamcha is DrivenToSuicide upon finding out Vegeta got Bulma pregnant. A DeletedScene revealing [[BlackComedy he had Puar shapeshift into the rope he hung himself with.]]
** The cancellation of the series means that according to them Bojack died when Cell exploded on King Kai's planet. The same can be expected of Broly dying on New Vegeta.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' [[NeverSayDie can't outright say]] that Applejack's parents passed away about ten years before the start of the series, but has quite strongly ''implied'' it. In the AbridgedSeries ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', Applejack's mother is still alive in the present day, but dies of unknown causes in Episode 23.
* In ''Fanfic/TheWebOfTheSpiderMan'', Peter's parents were Oscorp scientists who were killed in a lab accident rather than government agents who died in a plane crash.
* ''Fanfic/WarriorsRedux'': In canon, Spottedleaf had her throat slit. In ''Warriors Redux'', she went for a walk one evening, never came back, and was later found drowned. As a result, no one noticed she had been murdered until several months afterwards when another seer was attacked (though they survived).
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfRemnant'': In canon, [[spoiler:Marcus dies before the story begins in a fight to the death with his son]]. Here, [[spoiler:he's hired to assassinate Jaune and is killed by Blake during the attempt]].
* ''Fanfic/ReBoundRWBY'': Roman is killed during his fight with Ruby in episode 1 when Ruby {{accidental|Murder}}ly uses the wrong side of her weapon on him. In canon, he dies [[spoiler:by being eaten by a Grimm at the end of volume 3]].
* In ''Webcomic/AlternateHistory'', Yue still dies giving up her spirit in exchange for the moon spirit's. She just dies twenty years later than in canon and in different circumstances.
* ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'':
** Penny's death scene is much different than in canon. In ''RWBY'' canon, Emerald uses her semblance to make Pyrrha see hundreds of spears, instead of only a few, so Pyrrha reflects the attack. This causes the wires to squeeze Penny until she snaps in half. In ''RWBY; Scars'', Emerald causes Pyrrha to see a Beowolf in the arena instead of Penny. Pyrrha stabs the 'Beowolf' in the stomach, cuts off its leg, and cuts off its head. It's only after it's dead that the illusion is broken and Pyrrha learns that she murdered Penny (and after the battle had already ended at that).
** Sienna Khan's death is slightly altered, though the wider narrative difference is telling. She wasn't stabbed by Adam himself. Instead, her own guards betrayed her and stabbed her.
* In ''RWBY'' canon, Summer Rose disappeared one day on a mission and never came back. In ''Fanfic/LetUsBeYourPoison'', she was arrested in Atlas and publically executed for terrorism (more specifically, bombing the largest dust mine in the world).
* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'':
** In canon, Inoichi Yamanaka is one of the many casualties during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Here he dies during the [[spoiler: Uchiha Coup]].
** [[spoiler:Mikoto Uchiha doesn't die at Itachi's hands. She ends up choked to death by Shikaku Nara in revenge for Inoichi's death. Fugaku on the other hand is still killed by Itachi, but here it's in battle instead of peacefully allowing his son to kill him.]]
** While the members of the Sound Five (barring Kimimaro and Tayuya, [[SparedByTheAdaptation who manage to escape alive]]) are killed at the same point in time as in canon, Kidomaru, Sakon and Ukon suffer different deaths, partially owed to them fighting different opponents: Kidomaru is EatenAlive by Shino's kikai beetles, while Sakon and Ukon get punched by Sakura (the former in the skull, the latter in the torso [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill after already being poisoned]]). Jirobo is the only one to avert this, being killed by a MegatonPunch to the chest from Choji.
** Yagura's exact cause of death in canon is never made clear, though he was already dead by the time Akatsuki went after the Three Tails. Here, Akatsuki captures him (or more accurately, brainwashes him to peacefully come with them), and he dies from having the Three Tails extracted.
** Canon Sasori allowed himself to be killed when he was stabbed by the puppets made from his parents corpses. Here, Hinata gives him a FingerPokeOfDoom by overloading his heart with a burst of lightning chakra.
** While he isn't exactly dead in either version (at least, not immediately) due to his immortality, Hidan was [[HumanPopsicle frozen in a block of ice]] that was covered with sealing tags to keep it from melting instead of being BuriedAlive.
** Kazuku was originally finished off by Kakashi. Here, Fu flattens him with a felled tree.
** Fuu Yamanaka and Torune were both killed by Kabuto to demonstrate the power of Edo Tensei. Here they both die in battle against [[spoiler:Shizune and Shisui.]]
** Kisame is killed by Zabuza Momochi and Mei Terumi, rather than committing suicide when he faces Gai.
** Shikaku Nara dies impaled in the back by [[spoiler:Edo Tensei!Fugaku Uchiha]], rather than being among the victims of the Shinobi Alliance who are killed when the headquarters is blown up by the Tailed Beast Ball.
** While Deidara still dies in a explosion, here he's killed in battle by [[spoiler:Konan]] instead of blowing himself up in an attempt to take out Sasuke.
** Tayuya and Kimimaro both live past the Senju Twins Retieval arc [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere due to deciding to cut their losses]], and instead meet their death much later when they take part in a mission to capture the remaining jinchuriki on Genbu Island and are vaporized by a Tailed Beast Ball from Killer B and Gyuki.
** Despite having a near-death experience during [[spoiler:the Uchiha Insurrection]], the Third Hokage manages to pull through and continues to play a supporting role well into the Fourth Ninja War, until he's killed off by [[spoiler:Edo Tensei!Mito Uzumaki]].
* In several fan remakes of the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' games, students who were executed as culprits in canon end up dying as victims and vice versa. On some rare occasions where a culprit in the original material ends up killing again, they get a different execution than the one they received in canon.
* In ''Fanfic/DidIMakeTheMostOfLovingYou'', [[spoiler:Tom Zarek is killed on Kobol after he attempts to stage a coup by having ''Galactica'' sabotaged, three years before he was executed in the show]].
* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9280076/1/Like-Broken-Glass Like Broken Glass]]" opens with a different death for Lieutenant Barry Frost of ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles''; rather than dying in a car accident (as necessitated by [[ActorExistenceFailure his actor’s suicide]]), here Frost is killed while conducting a personal investigation into [[spoiler:a planned terrorist attack in New York]] while on holiday, leading to JurisdictionFriction as Jane and Maura come to New York to find Frost’s killers and have to work with [[Series/{{Castle}} the NYPD]] and [[Series/NCISNewOrleans two branches]] of Series/{{NCIS}} to solve the case.
* ''Fanfic/{{Handmaid}}'':
** In ''Series/TheTudors'' (and real life) Jane Seymour dies [[DeathByChildbirth as a result of giving birth to Prince Edward]]. In the fanfic she's executed for treason [[spoiler:for knowing that her brother Thomas attempted to murder Anne Boleyn by pushing her down the stairs (and caused her to miscarry the son Henry and England hoped for) to make Jane the next handmaid and saying nothing because she believed he did the right thing.]] She's executed after Edward, in this timeline merely a bastard, is born.
** Conversely, in the series and real life Anne Boleyn is executed for adultery, but in the fanfic she dies about a year after Henry and Katherine did from what [[spoiler:her oldest daughter]] Cecily suspects is a broken heart after losing the two people she cared for the most.
* In ''VideoGame/FarCry4'', if Ajay decides to kill [[spoiler:[[DirtyCommies Amita]],]] either when [[ReligiousBruiser Sabal]] orders him to, or [[spoiler:when she takes over Kyrat and [[MeetTheNewBoss becomes no better than Pagan Min]],]] he has to shoot [[spoiler:her]]. In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13492643/3/Kyrat-Zindabad ''Kyrat Zindabad'']], when Ajay realizes [[spoiler:Amita has had a FaceHeelTurn]], he stabs [[spoiler:her]] through the flank with his [[KukrisAreKool kukri]] and while [[spoiler:she's]] bleeding out, he shoves [[spoiler:her]] into a river to be [[FiendishFish eaten by the demon fish]], so that no-one finds [[spoiler:Amita's]] body.
* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'':
** It's unknown how Applejack's parents died in canon, but here, she confesses that [[spoiler:they entered the Everfree Forest to retrieve one of their pigs that had gotten loose and were fatally injured by ''something'', making it back to Ponyville before dying]].
** Also used in the sequel ''Diplomat at Large''. [[spoiler:In the 2017 film, the Storm King was petrified when the magic of his own Obsidian Orb was intercepted by Tempest Shadow, who then tackled him and thus spread its effects to him; his stone form then fell to the ground and shattered. In this version, he's knocked out a window, hits the ground and is promptly stabbed through the chest by one of Equestria's soldiers, who didn't even know it was him and was acting on instinct.]]
* In [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 2002 series]], King Grayskull died in a HeroicSacrifice to stop Hordak and save his kingdom. In ''Fanfic/YinYang'', he lives to old age and dies of natural causes.
* In ''Fanfic/AManOfIron'', (a crossover between ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' and the Franchise/MarvelUniverse) [[TheBrute Gregor Clegane]] dies from having a sunstone lodged in his chest and blown up, instead of a slow death by poisonous spear as per the books [[spoiler:or being tackled into a fire from a great height by his brother Sandor as per the TV show.]]
** In the second book, this applies to both Selyse and Stannis Baratheon. Instead of being DrivenToSuicide after consenting to having her daughter burned alive, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Selyse]] receives a lethal stabbing at the hands of Melisandre for ''refusing to have Shireen burnt alive.'' Additionally, [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Stannis]] dies from blows sustained by combat with [[GodOfThunder Thor]], instead of a SlashedThroat at the hands of Brienne of Tarth.
** Also [[FemmeFatale Melisandre]]/[[spoiler:Amora the Enchantress.]] In ''Series/GameOfThrones'' canon, [[spoiler:Melisandre dies of old age after the war with the White Walkers is already won.]] Here, [[spoiler:since she's the unambiguously evil Amora,]] she can't be allowed to die in such an anticlimatic way. Instead, she has her eye put out by a brand thrown by Shireen Baratheon, whom she tried to have sacrificed, and then Ser Davos Seaworth/Loki reveals his true identity, and he cuts off one of her hands, pours venom from one of Skadi's snakes into her face, destroying it, and finishes her off with a spear through her stomach. [[spoiler: And Loki adds that since Asgardians arrive in the afterlife with the same appearance they had when they died, Amora will be spending hers deprived forever of her beautiful face- and since she's a VainSorceress, that will be a FateWorseThanDeath for her.]]
* ''Fanfic/CorAutemAurora'':
** Luche is killed off in ''Anime/KingsglaiveFinalFantasyXV'' when Luna tricks him into putting on the Ring of the Lucii. He doesn't make it nearly that far here; he has the misfortune of being the first person Sora encounters in Eos, and it's when he's in the middle of trying to assassinate Crowe. She executes him for treason offscreen after sending Sora to collect Luna from Fenestala Manor.
** Emperor Aldercapt dies offscreen somewhere between ''Kingsglaive'' and Chapter 13 of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV''. Here, he's killed on his way out of the destruction of Insomnia when he tries to put on the Ring of the Lucii. Predictably, the Lucian kings deem him unworthy and burn him alive. For extra catharsis, the spirit of King Regis personally runs him through with his sword in the realm within the Ring.
* ''Fanfic/CodePrime'':
** Skyquake is noted to have perished fighting on Cybertron rather than dying on Earth as in the show. [[spoiler: It's fully revealed in Chapter 33 that Ratchet [[MercyKill was forced to euthanize him after Megatron poisoned his body with Dark Energon.]]]]
** Kewell Soresi is killed by Arcee instead of Kallen at Narita.
** Bart, David and Edgar Darlton all die differently. Bart is blown up by Bulkhead at Narita instead of being crushed by a falling G1 base in ''R2''. And instead of being killed in ''R2'' by Chiba and Todoh, David and Edgar are respectively killed by Arcee and Rai at Port Yokosuka.
** Kickback was killed by Sludge on Cybertron in the ''Beast Hunters'' comics. In the fic, he's killed on Earth by Bumblebee.
** [[spoiler:Charles died when he was absorbed into C's World by Lelouch. Here, he is killed when Megatron incinerates him with his fusion cannon.]]
** [[spoiler:Hardshell was killed in ''Transformers Prime'' when Miko fired missiles from the Jackhammer at him. He ends up being killed in the story by Nina's bomb after Shirley rams him through a Groundbridge into Earth's orbit with the Ganymede.]]
** [[spoiler:Rather than being casually executed by Starscream, Cliffjumper is mortally wounded by Luciano Bradley, [[TakingYouWithMe then drags the man with him]] into a generator, electrocuting them both. Which is also a different death for Luciano, as in canon he was killed by Kallen blowing up his Knightmare.]]
** [[spoiler:In canon, Dreadwing is killed by Megatron for trying to kill Starscream. Here, he commits a HeroicSacrifice, staying behind to blow up the Insecticon hive.]]
** [[spoiler:Instead of being dismembered by Airachnid, Breakdown gets his head blown off by Rai.]]
** Andreas Darlton dies during the Black Rebellion like in canon, but is killed by an Insecticon instead of Lelouch.
** Dorothea Ernst was killed in canon by Suzaku in the Lancelot Albion. [[spoiler:In the first chapter of ''R2'', she's torn to shreds along with her Knightmare by Devastator.]]
** In canon, Alicia Lohmeyer was killed when the Tokyo Settlement was destroyed by the FLEIJA. [[spoiler:She meets her end when Bruticus incinerates her battleship.]]
** As opposed to being sliced in half by Suzaku, Bismarck Waldstein is killed when [[spoiler:Devastator crushes his Knightmare.]]
** Viceroy Calares was killed in canon when his mobile base was crushed by a falling section of a tower caused by Lelouch. In the first chapter of ''R2'', [[spoiler:he's killed when Slipstream destroys his mobile base in Area 18.]]
** Toru Yoshida was killed in canon when the Raiko he was operating during the Black Rebellion was destroyed by Suzaku. [[spoiler:He's killed in the
third chapter of ''R2'' when Springload destroys his Knightmare's cockpit.]]
