Minato explicitely says in 503 that he's incapable of sealing the whole thing in himself (and of course, the dead demon seal requires the user to, well, die). For whatever reason, it doesn't seem Kushina can seal it in anybody but herself.

** There's also the page quote. In the corresponding scene in ''Dragon Ball Z'', Piccolo sacrifices himself to block an attack meant for Gohan. Except he could've just grabbed him... without moving an inch in fact, since he could've just extended his arms. 
** In DragonballZ, when Cell self destructs, Goku teleports him away to King Kai's planet and dies when Cell blows up, despite the fact that he could have just teleported back to Earth before that happened. It is, however, implied that Goku probably allowed this to happen as he states he wants to stay dead so people that come after him won't target the Earth.
* Lampshaded in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. Yusuke tries to prevent Kurama from sacrificing his life to save his mother's life, saying it doesn't make logical sense because Kurama's mother would be condemned to a life of grief. So in turn, Yusuke offers up his life instead. Eventually they both live and the wish is granted anyway, but only then does the FridgeLogic kick in for Yusuke: if he'd done that, his ''own'' mother would've been condemned to a life of grief. He prevents this (in some translations and adaptations) by suggesting that the mirror take '''part''' of his life, so Kurama won't have to die and his mother will be saved. Then again, the act is reckless enough to impress the Forlorn Hope into not taking either of their lives.

%%Yusuke's save of the kid about to be hit by a car is an example of a SenselessSacrifice, NOT this trope, since it was a sensible %%decision from his point of view without knowledge of the child's survival regardless.
