* ''Anime/TheRebirthOfBuddha'': When Sayako is taken to witness Kanemoto's spirit trial, the three judges in charge of his case lambast the guy for "wasting the one life God has given him" on top of [[HollywoodAtheist writing accusatory and derisive articles against religion and God]]. According to Happy Science, those who commit suicide live on as earthbound spirits for the time their bodies should have left living. Thereby, these spirits bring desolation to their loved ones, seeking to possess living people and kill others, often in the same way they took their own lives.

* {{Inverted|trope}} by a few cultures who present suicide [[ValuesDissonance as honourable]] -- so much so that it would be shameful ''not'' to commit suicide. UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire and [[JidaiGeki feudal Japan]] were particularly known for it, especially in cases where one's honour was already impugned and ForgivenessRequiresDeath. They even ritualised suicide for this purpose (''e.g.'' {{Seppuku}} or the BathSuicide). Other cultures had a tradition of widows committing suicide, such as the old Indian tradition of ''sati'' -- in some cases, this was so that [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled the invaders who killed their husbands wouldn't have the chance to finish them]]. The Aztecs even ensured that the state would take care of the children in such cases. And Mayan culture, which had [[OhMyGods all sorts of gods dedicated to different kinds of death]], had one dedicated to suicide, Ixtab -- and they believed that those who killed themselves went directly to heaven.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV: Shadowbringers'', after killing the Four Cardinal Virtues, the barmaid Cyella eventually reveals that she is the Shadowkeeper, TheManBehindTheMan who manipulated the Warriors of Light in a series of events that lead to the Flood of Light. Once she's told you her story, she invites you to kill her for her part in the devastation the First had suffered. But like Ardbert in the past, the current Warrior of Light refuses to strike her down, insisting that she needs to live to properly atone for what she did as a servant of the Ascians. Eventually, Cyella sees the truth in it, that dying now would just be her running from her past mistakes.
