* In ''VideoGame/MegaManX3'', Dr. Doppler resurrects Vile to bring X to him, alive if possible. Vile makes a point of [[ResurrectionRevenge bringing him back dead no matter what]].
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX6'':
** Though it's somewhat hard to decipher from the game's [[{{Macekre}} hack-job translation]], all of the eight Nightmare Investigators were "[[NeverSayDie retired]]" for various reasons and resurrected by their creator [[BigBad Gate]] as part of his scheme to trick reploids into following said investigators into Nightmare Virus hot zones to be infected and become his slaves.
** Metal Shark Player's had this as his special ability, being able to resurrect dead reploids under his control to perform jobs or fight battles for him. Since this is illegal, he was "retired" as punishment for doing it. During the battle he's able to temporarily resurrect [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sting Chameleon]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX2 Magna Centipede]], and [[VideoGame/MegaManX3 Blast Hornet]] from the trash in the room to assist him in the battle.
* ''VideoGame/ClockTower3'' has the Subordinates, the spirits of people who were executed and resurrected to hunt and kill Rooders. The more notorious of killers they were in life determines their strength as a Subordinate, measured by how many years they would have been sentenced to prison had they not simply been put to death.

** This comes into play twofold for the Namek saga. Piccolo's death in the Saiyan saga meant the Earth Dragonballs died with him and they needed the Namekian set instead. Once they manage to get the balls together to make wishes, Piccolo insists he come back first in order to restore the Earth Dragonballs. This ends up being a crucial decision as the Grand Elder of Namek passes away from stress, [[CriticalExistenceFailure which immediately dissolves the immortal dragon Porunga before he's granted all his wishes.]] With Piccolo alive again, King Kai is able to [[BatmanGambit pull together a plan]] to revive the Namekians including the Grand Elder using Earth's immortal dragon Shenron, thus reviving Porunga exactly as he was and then use his final wish to evacuate everyone off of the dying planet.

* Unkindled Ash in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' are the resurrected ashes of those who tried to link the fire previously, but failed. Since all the Lords of Cinder that were ''meant'' to link the fire abandoned their duty, the Unkindled Ash were resurrected to ''force'' them. Each of the unkindled we meet in game have some connection to one of the four missing lords of cinder: Hawkwood was a deserter from the Abyss Watchers, Siegward was a good friend of Yhorm, and Anri of Astora was one of the only two children who escaped the clutches of Saint Aldrich. What connection, if any, the PlayerCharacter has to prince Lothric is unclear.

* The plot of ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'' is set after ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'', and it begins with [[VillainProtagonist the Horned King]] being resurrected for a period of 18 months by [[CosmicEntities the Fates]] and half-forced on a seemingly [[ImpossibleTask impossible]] {{redemption quest}}: earning a human's love. Nothing else is revealed about the reasons for this other than the Fates are [[GodsHandsAreTied obliged to it]] for unclear reasons. The Horned King is promised a full freedom from [[SoulJar the Black Cauldron]] for successful completion of the quest and [[AndIMustScream permanent imprisonment]] into it for failure.

* [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Drax the Destroyer]]'s origin is that he was resurrected after he and his family were murdered by {{ComicBook/Thanos}} and tasked with killing the Mad Titan back. (Of course, Thanos oscillates between 5 and 7 on the SuperWeight scale regularly and is frequently [[CompleteImmortality completely immortal]]. Drax's main power is that he's a StoneWall who refuses to stop ''trying'' to kill Thanos. The idea was that he'd have to succeed eventually. Even InUniverse, this logic has been called into question.)

They tried to revive him after he was killed by Cell, but since [[DoomMagnet he realized he, and by extension his friends and the world would eventually be targeted by new threats]] he refused to be resurrected. Seven years later, Gohan is the only warrior who hasn't been killed or [[YouWillBeAssimilated absorbed]] by Majin Buu, and he can't beat him, so Goku has to be revived to help him.

She was resurrected as a cyborg after a plane crash that nearly claimed her life and is now working as a law enforcer/cyber commando; but that accident happened when she was 10-years old or so. Having to live in a cyborg body (only her brain is organic) led her to mastering it, and thus her current job.

While DeathIsCheap (as long as you can afford the price) in this 'verse, Kay has not yet paid for his resurrection (must always be done up-front). He is amazed to find himself alive and finds out that it's because of this trope. The owner of the [=aTan=] Corporation (who has the monopoly on resurrection) brings Kay back to life in order to escort his son and heir to a remote planet on a secret assignment. The guy was specifically looking for a professional bodyguard who dies without paying for a resurrection. Kay later finds out that he's far from the first person hired for the job, likely in a similar manner.
