Let’s take a moment to assess how screwed [[spoiler: Berdly]] is after the events of the Weird Route:
*Cause: [[spoiler: Targeted by a particularly powerful freezing spell]]. NoOneCouldSurviveThat 2.
*Audience Expectation: While the fandom [[ItWasHisSled already memed it to death and back]], It was certainly a shocking development for a relatively important character to be (presumably) killed off this early on. 2.
*Body: [[spoiler: [[HumanPopsicle Frozen]] in the Dark World, completely unconscious otherwise]]. 2.
*Reaction: Dialogue implies Kris is very shaken by the development, but nobody besides Noelle seems concerned about it, though that just might be a case of DramaticIrony. Let’s give it a 2.5
*Last Words: [[spoiler: LetsGetDangerous, though that is before the actual fight, and he probably doesn’t realize what is about to happen]]. Let’s be safe and go with a 3.
*Characterization: As of Chapter 2, probably a regular. 2.
*When: Same year, if we assume Cyber World was its own arc. 2.
*Died and Came Back?: Not yet. 4.
*Average: 2.4375. That might have something to do with the game’s significantly different setup from [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} its predecessor]]. Regardless, [[spoiler: Berdly]] is probably not completely dead, considering the rules regarding that matter, as well as the ambiguity of circumstances. [[SurpriseCreepy Then again]], it’s Creator/TobyFox we’re talking about, so that might be a [[CerebusSyndrome warning towards]] [[FromBadToWorse what’s to come in the game’s future chapters]].

Metroid Dread

Added DiffLines:

Now that Dread is out, let's do it with Raven Beak
* Cause of death: [[Overkill Infected by a X parasite, then said X is obliterated by Samus' hyper beam]]: 4
* Genre: Anyone can die: 4
* Body Found: Only Bits And Pieces: 4
* Reaction: HesDeadJim: 3
* Last Words: "Hadar sen olmen!"[[labelnote:note]]Power is everything![[/labelnote]]: 3
* Characterization: [[BigBad Main antagonist]] of Metroid Dread, and GreaterScopeVillain for the whole Metroid series: 1
* When did they die: Same Arc: 1
* Died and come back: No: 4
3. So pretty dead.

Since he also appears in this game, let's do the same with Kraid
* Cause of death: Sank in his lava pool. May have been infected by the same X parasite that infected Raven Beak, but it is more probable that it got Kraid's DNA from the belly spike Kraid shot at the wall before dying: 2
* Genre: Anyone can die: 4
* Body Found: Left for Dead: 1
* Reaction: HesDeadJim: 3
* Last Words: If Kraid could talk, he would've said OhCrap: 4
* Characterization: RecurringCharacter: 3
* When did they die: Same Arc: 1
* Died and come back: Twice, once in Metroid/Zero Mission, and once in Super Metroid: 2
2.5. He is pretty likely to return

The death of news anchor [[VideoGame/NotForBroadcast Jeremy Robert Donaldson]] in "Day 296: The Heatwave" of Episode 2 (optional, player choice)
* '''Cause:''' DrivenToSuicide (if the Disrupt ad tape is played) or [[DoNotGoGentle gunned down by security officers in his attempt to shoot one of them]] (if the tape is not played). Since the former may count as a 3 ([[spoiler:as he is dying for the cause of Disrupt]]), and the latter a 2, we'll average that to a 2.5.
* '''Audience Expectation:''' Thanks to [[LoveInterests Jenny Skywalker]]'s voice asking, "[[spoiler:[[WhamLine Jeremy?]]]]" at the end of the trailer for the third and final episode, players who let him die are guessing that the line is an indication that he could be brought BackFromTheDead (1). So, even without the voice (which could have been a 2 for Disney Death for all we know), we're rounding it to a 1.5.
* '''Body Found?:''' As of "Day 371: The 20 Week War", he is dead and buried, since the headline shows his grave, which fellow news anchor Megan Wolfe says is vandalized by Disrupt. 4.
* '''Reaction:''' Between Megan and Jenny's reactions to the "He's Dead" part and the former making a headline about his grave, it's pretty much a 3.5.
* '''Last Words:''' For the "suicide" part, he delivers a FinalSpeech in a monologue, saying that he used to love the news, but that the current news isn't just the news anymore, and apologizing to the newscast for letting them down, before capping it off with: "My name is Jeremy Donaldson. If you can... Somehow. And I envy you if you can.

So, more of a 2.5.
* '''Characterization:''' Considering that he is Jenny's friend, he's pretty much a regular news anchor with the voice of an adolecent kid, so it's a 2.
* '''When did he die?:''' Pretty much the same arc if Episode 3 is to be released, so 1.
* '''"Died" and come back?:''' As of Episode 2, not yet. 4.
* '''Average:''' 2.625. It's pretty much less likely that Jeremy will be coming back before Episode 3 is released, so we're going to have to wait for a few months until then.

Then again, the main characters seem to think they witnessed his death (even thought the moment the rockets hit him is not clearly shown), and if they ''did'' hit him his head would probably be [[ChunkySalsaRule Chunky Salsa]]. Still averages out as '''3'''.



* When Did They Die?: In the most recent game in the series, but there's often a 2 to 6 year timeline gap between games. Can't really score this until a sequel comes out.

Added DiffLines:

Alternate alternate result: Cause Of Death could be seen as "overkill" (poisoned, stabbed, shot, falls into lava, two rockets), but the way it's shown makes it quite ambiguous whether we actually see the rockets hit his head or not: some people think he gets visibly [[ChunkySalsaRule Chunky Salsa'd]] while others insist he can be seen ducking at the last minute. This could average out at '''3'''. Now that it's been 10 years since his "death", this is (3+2.5+3+1+2+4)/6 = '''2.6'''. He still has a chance of coming back if the rockets missed or he ducked, but it's looking less likely.
