22Currently, [[spoiler:The real Caulder]] from ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars: Days of Ruin'' and [[spoiler:Teri Bauer]] from ''Series/TwentyFour'' are the only characters to have scored 4, the highest possible. And are notable for having 4 in ''every'' category. At one point, [[spoiler:Shirley]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and also scored 4, thanks in part to a special [=CLAMP=] bonus that became harder to defend as the series went on. [[spoiler:Chloe Sullivan]] from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is currently the only character to have scored a perfect 1, in the episode ''Fracture'', with the rest of the cast not even taking her death seriously, fully expecting her return.

24----
25
26'''Baseline Example: The death of Franchise/{{Superman}}.'''
27* Cause: HeroicSacrifice, so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3.
28* Genre: It's a comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1.
29* The Body: DeaderThanDead, a PietaPlagiarism too for supes sake! So no chance of FakingTheDead. 4.
30* Reaction: ReallyDeadMontage, uh-oh. 4.
31* Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
32* When did he die: Same year, so 2.
33* Come Back?: This was a first, so 4.
34* Average: So add it up... we get a pretty high score, 19! Since it's not a videogame, divide by 7, and we get... 19/7 = 2.7, meaning supes isn't coming back for at least a few months, maybe even years. In actuality the ''Death Of Superman'' happened in January 1993 and he came back some time before May 1994.
35
36----
37
38'''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of Franchise/{{Batman}} in ComicBook/FinalCrisis.'''
39* Cause: HeroicSacrifice, give or take. 3.
40* Genre: Comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1.
41* The Body: [[DeaderThanDead Dead and buried]], but it's a little more complicated. Still, it's a 4.
42* Reaction: [[HesDeadJim He's Dead Clark]], plus "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" probably counts as a ReallyDeadMontage. 3.5.
43* Characterization: It's [[MemeticMutation The Goddamn Batman]], people. 1.
44* When did he die: Same year, so 2.
45* Come Back?: This would be the first time, so 4.
46* Average: 21.5/8= 2.7. A semi-high score, and DC seems to be sticking to this one for a while. Still, he'll definitely be back, likely before the end of 2010 at the latest.[[spoiler: CORRECT!]]

53
54[[folder:''Attack on Titan'']]
55
56The summer's most murder-tastic anime definitely needs a page here.
57
58For fun, let's start with Eren Jaegar's near the beginning of the story
59* '''Cause of Death''': HeroicSacrifice. He dives into a Titan's mouth to save [[spoiler: Armin.]] Solid 3.
60* '''Audience Expectation''': The show is definitely edging into AnyoneCanDie at this point. 4
61* '''Body Found''': Well, on the one hand his body was never found, but that's because he was ''swallowed by a Titan.'' Let's go for 3, averaging NeverFoundTheBody and ChunkySalsaRule because of all those lost limbs.
62* '''Reaction''': [[spoiler: Armin]] gets a really fast, freaky montage in the next episode and a couple of flashbacks. 4.
63* '''Last Words''': An inspiring speech about going to see the outside world. 4.
64* '''Characterization''': Probably his one saving category. [[spoiler: 1. He's the protagonist!]]
65* '''When Did They Die?''': 1
66* '''Died and Came Back?''': At that point, no, nor had anybody else. 4.
67** RESULT: 3 on the nose. [[spoiler: Pretty dead for someone who canonically [[UnexplainedRecovery got better]]]]
68
69And now one of the iconic shock tragedies of the series, Marco Bott
70* '''Cause of Death''': {{Overkill}} with a hefty dose of {{Irony}}. He's torn in half by a Titan after the battle of Trost offscreen, ''after'' everyone thinks they're safe. 4.
71* '''Audience Expectation''': AnyoneCanDie. 4.
72* '''Body Found''': OH GOD YES CHUNKY SALSA RULE INSTANT 4
73* '''Reaction''': [[spoiler: "Marco...is that you?"]] HesDeadJim. 3.
74* '''Last Words''': Not applicable. He's killed offscreen, so he doesn't really get them. Or at least they're not seen.
75* '''Characterization''': Probably around enough by that point to qualify as a RecurringCharacter. 3.
76* '''When Did They Die?''': Hm. A few arcs ago, now, so probably a 2.
77* '''Died and Came Back?''': Nope. Only [[spoiler: Eren]] gets to do that. 4.
78** RESULT: 3.4. Yeah, [[spoiler: no resurrection for Freckled Jesus.]]
79
80Let's see if we can go higher. Ooh, how about Petra Ral?
81* '''Cause Of Death''': {{Irony}} Similar to [[spoiler: Marco]] above, she's killed right after everything appears to be safe. She is also killed after the PowerOfFriendship appears to have triumphed...[[spoiler: by a traitor.]]. 4.
82* '''Audience Expectation''': After [[spoiler: Marco?]] ANYONE can die. 4
83* '''Body Found''': She's put in a morgue - er, cart. 3.
84* '''Reaction''': There are plenty of montages of [[spoiler: Levi's squad after they all die.]] 4.
85* '''Last Words''': [[spoiler: It prioritized one eye to accelerate the healing! Is that even possible?]] Pretty much a lengthier OhCrap. 4.
86* '''Characterization''': MauveShirt, at that point. She'd been around for a bit, but we didn't know as much about her as we did, say, the 104s. 4.
87* '''When Did They Die?''': The manga has moved on enough that this qualifies for a 2.
88* '''Died and Came Back?''': Nope. 4.
89** RESULT: 3.6 [[spoiler: Wow. Petra's...really, really dead.]]
90
91Okay, okay, last one - Carla Jaegar!
92* '''Cause Of Death''': StuffedIntoTheFridge in the first episode. Her death exists to cause the protagonist pain. 4.
93* '''Audience Expectation''': Hers is the first death in the series, but by now we know we should expect AnyoneCanDie. 4.
94* '''Body Found''': Hm...I'm actually going to go with 4 here, because not only does she get eaten by a Titan, but the manga pretty clearly shows the Titan biting clean through her legs on the way down.
95* '''Reaction''': [[spoiler: Eren]] has enough montage-flashbacks of her to qualify for a 4.
96* '''Last Words''': Does "Please come back!" count as an OhCrap? 4.
97* '''Characterization''': Loved one. 4.
98* '''When Did They Die?''': Approximately 5 years before the main arc. 3.
99* '''Died and Came Back?''': No. 4.
100** RESULT: 3.9 Holy shit. If Attack on Titan ends with a timeskip of over five years without her coming back, she'll tie for first place.

104[[folder:''Bleach'']]
105
106Something to twist the algorithm a bit, because it's funny. Let's test [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Sousuke Aizen]]'s first death, avaliating the circumstances presented at the moment:
107
108'''Sousuke Aizen'''.
109* Cause of Death: No One Could Survive That - 2
110* Genre: At the time, Killed Off For Real (it developed to Death Is Cheap in the Hueco Mundo Arc) - 3
111* Reaction: He's Dead Jim (his deadness was diagnosed) - 3
112* Body: Technically not buried, but surely dead, according to all diagnosis and the HUGE SPLATTER OF BLOOD - 4
113* Characterization Protagonist - He wasn't revealed to be a villain until then; he was just a C-List by then, for sure. 3.
114* Died: Same arc – 1
115* Previous Death - Technically, he's ''already'' dead... 3.
116* Average: 19/7 = 2.71. Pretty high for someone that clearly faked his death, that's how so many people were surprised when he returned and made TheReveal.
117
118And let's see how one of his later deaths match up. Specifically, when he was blown up by Urahara's little trick.
119
120'''Sousuke Aizen'''.
121* Cause of Death: No One Could Survive That - 2
122* Genre: Death Is Cheap - 1
123* Reaction: Oh Crap - 4
124* Body: Left for Dead - 1
125* Characterization: Archvillain - 1
126* Died: Same arc - 1
127* Previous Death - So. Many. Times - 1
128* Average: 12/7 = 1.71, unless I'm sorely mistaken. Would have been less if he didn't react to something he knew wouldn't kill him with an 'oh crap'.
129
130So did Grimmjow really die?
131
132'''Grimmjow'''
133* Cause of Death: Bridge drop (suddenly attacked and struck down by Nnoitra)- 4
134* Genre: Death is Cheap - 1
135* Reaction: Ichigo is angered - 2
136* Body: Left for Dead (hasn't been seen since the start of Ichigo vs. Nnoitra) - 1
137* Characterization: Recurring antagonist, almost a regular - 2.5
138* Died: Same arc -1
139* Previous death: None, except the one that made him a hollow - 4
140* Average: 15.5/7 = 2.20. He'll be back.
141
142Here's an analysis for Harribel, since a lot of people have a hard time accepting her defeat (considering her opponent)
143* Cause of Death: [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge drop]] (done in by a suddenly revealed ability) - 4
144* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
145* Characterization: Recurring antagonist - 3
146* Reaction: Potentially [[HesDeadJim She's Dead Jim]], as [[spoiler:Hitsugaya]] notes that she won't be able to avenge her underlings - 3
147* Body: [[spoiler: Frozen]] - 2
148* Died: Same arc- 1
149* Previous death: None - 4
150* Average: 18/7 = 2.57. Average chance of coming back.
151
152Baraggan
153* Cause of Death: NoOneCouldSurviveThat (Blown up)- 2
154* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
155* Characterization: Recurring antagonist -3
156* Reaction: Hardly any.
157* Body: NeverFoundTheBody (Obscured by the blast and the smoke) - 3
158* Died: Same Arc - 1
159* Previous Death: None - 4
160* Average: 14/6= 2.33. Slightly better than [[spoiler:Harribel]].
161
162Both Baraggan and Harribel are alive
163
164Baraggan, again
165* Cause of Death: Killed by his own Respira, Death By Irony - 4
166* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
167* Characterization: Recurring antagonist - 2
168* Reaction: Montage of life as a Hollow.
169* Body: Disintegrated. Definitely Deader Than Dead.
170* Died: Same Arc - 1
171* Previous Death: The one above, the one where he was trapped in the gate, and the one that made him a hollow, which doesn't count, so, 2.
172* Average: 2.75. He's not done yet, bizzarely.
173
174Szayel Aporro Granz
175* Cause of Death: DeathByIrony - 1
176* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
177* Body Found?: LeftForDead - 1
178* Characterization: Recurring antagonist -3
179* Body: LeftForDead - 1
180* Died: Same Arc - 1
181* Previous Death: None - 4
182* Average: 12/7= 1.71. He'll be back.
183
184Harribel, again
185* Cause of Death: BridgeDrop ([[spoiler:killed by Aizen]]) - 4
186* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
187* Characterization: Recurring antagonist - 3
188* LastWords: OhCrap - 4
189* Reaction: None, yet.
190* Body: Unknown at this point
191* Died: Same arc- 1
192* Previous death: Once - 3
193* Average: 2.66.
194
195Starrk
196* Cause of Death: DroppedABridgeOnHim (suddenly killed by Kyoraku's ability)- 4
197* Genre: DeathIsCheap- 1
198* Characterization: Recurring antagonist -3
199* LastWords: FinalSpeech - 3
200* Reaction: Montage - 4
201* Body: Fallen out of sight- 3
202* Died: Same arc - 1
203* Previous Death: No - 4
204* Average: 2.875. Not good for Bleach.
205
206Riyalgo Yammy
207* Cause of Death: Overkill. Or I assume so. He was left a bloody mess by Byakuya and Kenpachi, so... 4
208* Genre: DeathIsCheap. 1
209* Characterization: Recurring antagonist. 3
210* LastWords: Unknown
211* Reaction: None
212* Body: Left for dead. 1
213* Died: Same arc. 1
214* Previous Death: No. 4
215* Average: 2. We could be seeing him again. Then again, Kenpachi and Byakuya had it at him, so... maybe not.
216
217Ulquiorra Cifer
218* Cause of Death: MortalWoundReveal, RedemptionEqualsDeath. Spent the last of his energy saving Orihime and Ishida, then revealed that he was unable to regenerate the organs he'd lost in the battle. 3
219* Genre: DeathIsCheap. 1
220* Characterization: Recurring antagonist, borderline regular much like Grimmjow. 2.5
221* Reaction: Grief from Orihime, a MyGodWhatHaveIDone from Ichigo. 2
222* Body: Disintegrated into ashes and carried away on the wind. 4
223* Died: Same arc. 1
224* Previous Death: None. 4
225* Average: 2.5625 Has a fairly decent shot at returning, especially since regeneration was his best skill, he'd regrown organs before (his eyes), and it's ''still'' not very clear what exactly happened to him.
226
227Ichimaru Gin
228* Cause of Death: Redemption(ish) 3
229* Genre: DeathIsCheap. 1
230* Characterization: Major antagonist 2
231* LastWords: Final (internal) speech. 3
232* Reaction: Flashback montage. 4
233* Body: Left for dead. 1
234* Died: Same arc. 1
235* Previous Death: No. 4
236* Average: 2.375. Could be seeing him again, especially given the tendency of Bleach characters to recover from injuries that should really have killed them.
237
238[[/folder]]
239
240[[folder:''Code Geass'']]
241
242Shirley
243* Cause of death: Bridge drop. 4
244* Genre: AnyoneCanDie. 4. Not looking good here...
245* Body found: Yup. The protagonist watched her die. 4
246* Reaction: No actual montage so we have to keep it at HesDeadJim. 3
247* Characterisation: ''Just'' got bumped up to full-fledged LovedOne. 4
248* When: Arc changed, so 2 at least. 4 if you count the series ending without her comming back as equivalent to her death having occured in the series finale.
249* Average... 23/6 = 3.8. Yup, we ain't seeing her again.
250* Additionally, given that this series had character designs by CLAMP, some have suggested to add a CLAMP Really Dead Factor for an additional 4. In this case, she scored '''4''' on average (just to justify the intro text).
251
252This is another test
253
254Nunnally
255* Died by: Nuke, but we don't actually see the death; this is either [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop]] or NoOneCouldSurviveThat. I'll go with the latter for 2.
256* Genre: Going by the Shirley example, 4, though if you count Jeremiah, [[spoiler: Charles, and marianne,]] you could make a case for KilledOffForReal. I'll go with that, 3
257* Body: NeverFoundTheBody, though not for lack of trying. 3.
258* Reaction: "Nii-san, she's dead..." 3.
259* Characterization: Loved One, 4.
260* When: Same Arc - 1, though the arc changed since then with a month timeskip, so I'll go with 2.
261* Died and come back: No. Kidnapped once, but they never claimed her to be dead. 4
262* Add them together, 21. All right, divide by the number of applicable rows, which is 7. It ends up as 3. All things considered, her return was a surprise, although pretty much everyone expected it, it was still a HolyShit moment.
263
264One more, this time [[DeathOfTheAuthor defying]] WordOfGod: Lelouch
265* Cause of Death: Redemption/Sacrifice--3.
266* Genre: I'm going to have to go with 2, considering how much sleight of hand there was with [[spoiler:nuked people]], among others (how did [[spoiler:Suzaku]] survive [[spoiler:his fight with Kallen]], again? Also, [[spoiler:Mao, Charles, Marianne]]). Plus, [[spoiler:C's World and Geass offer enough loopholes for a technically-dead guy to still have a major role]].
267* Body found: While we, as viewers, don't see a burial or anything, considering the circumstances ([[spoiler:with literally the entire world watching and, later on, sure that he's dead]]) it's likely a 4, though the fact that the most likely scenario of him surviving [[spoiler:would leave a body behind until he BackFromTheDead]] gives a bit of wiggle room between 3 and 4.
268* Reaction: Montage, although in this case [[spoiler:that's kind of watering the EpilepticTrees]], but I'll still call that a 4. For a more lenient interpretation, giving the aforementioned WMG, there's also wiggle room here between 3 and 4.
269* Characterization: [[spoiler:"Protagonist or Archvillain"? Yes.]] 1.
270* When did they die: Died in the series finale, so 4. In the case of a hypothetical third season, the postlogue has a two month timeskip, so, same year. 2 at most.
271* Died and come back: IIRC, never. 4
272* Total: Given that it was the series finale, 22/7 = 3.14, ie, probably dead. If you figure based on a hypothetical third season or the wiggle room given by the most likely scenario of his return, 20/7 = 2.86 or 19/7 = 2.71, or even 18/7 if you count both, leading to a 2.57, and a solid ''maybe'', ignoring the WordOfGod. might. If you figure without including "time since death:" 18/6 = 3 (...exactly the same as the previous entry. Who came back. I swear I didn't do that on purpose).
273
274So everyone who says [[spoiler:CC was talking to him in the last episode]] has a leg to stand on, though I'm ambivalent over whether or not I like this.
275
276Given the announcement of a sequel movie, I’m gonna test the most heartbreaking death, Euphemia
277* Died by: Gunshot, followed by unsuccessful medical treatment, so I’ll go with [[MortalWoundReveal mortally wounded]] for 3
278* Genre: IMO, a bit cheap, lots of characters appear to “die” only to come back, C.C, Jeremiah and Mao to name a few, but there have been a few that stuck, so I’ll split the difference and go with 2.
279* Body: Dies on the operating table, so 3
280* Reaction: [[ItsPersonal Suzaku flat out says he’s going to Murder Zero for this]], so 2
281* Last Words: Asks Suzaku if the Special Zone was a success, will go with 3
282* Characterization: Major love interest, ouch, 4
283* When: Near the end of season 1, and there is a one year skip between seasons, so 3
284* Died and come back: Unless you count VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ, nope, 4
285* Add them together: 24/8 = 3, seems unlikely, will probably stay dead

291How about the two biggest recipients of HesJustHiding in ''Anime/DanganRonpa3''?
292
293Chiaki Nanami
294* '''Cause of Death''': Tortured to death. 2.
295* '''Audience Expectation''': Generally AnyoneCanDie, but the anime has employed its share of {{Disney Death}}s. Averages out to a 3.
296* '''Body found?''': Technically found by Izuru, but she was still alive at the time. We never actually see what happens to it after that. 2.
297* '''Reaction''': Izuru decides ItsPersonal. 2
298* '''Last words''': Sobbing about how she doesn't want to die. 3.
299* '''Characterization''': One of the main characters. 1.
300* '''Died and came back?''': Nope. 4
301* '''Result:''' 17/7 = 2.42. It's okay everyone, she's not really gone.
302
303Juzo Sakukura
304* '''Cause of Death''': HeroicSacrifice + RedemptionEqualsDeath. 3.
305* '''Audience Expectation''': See above. 3.
306* '''Body found?''': Found but not buried. 3.
307* '''Reaction''': [[spoiler:Munakata]] weeps over his body. 3.
308* '''Last words''': Gives a big internal heroic monologue about how he wants to save [[spoiler:Munakata]]. 3.
309* '''Characterization''': Regular semi-antagonist. 2.
310* '''Died and came back?''': He was faked out once before, so yeah. 3.
311* '''Result:''' 20/7 = 2.85. There's a chance, but it's a slim one.
312
313For curiosity's sake, let's check the odds of someone who ''did'' come back:
314
315Kyoko Kirigiri
316* '''Cause of Death''': HeroicSacrifice 3.
317* '''Audience Expectation''': See above. 3.
318* '''Body found?''': They literally wake up and find it right there, but left it behind shortly after. 3
319* '''Reaction''': Huge amount of weeping, plus several montage-esque flashbacks. 4.
320* '''Last words''': Encouraging speech and AlwaysWithYou moment. 3.
321* '''Characterization''': Main character. 1.
322* '''Died and came back?''': Nada. 4.
323* '''Result:''' 21/7 = solid 3. Well hey, her odds were actually ''worse'' than the above and she came back, so I guess anything's possible.

427* Cause: HeroicSacrifice. 3.
428* Genre: While someone dies in most episodes, this never happens to recurring characters, so I'm going with NobodyCanDie. 1.
429* The Body: While they found a body, the identification was somewhat shady and there were apparently some strange things with the body. 3.
430* Reaction: Between Jodie's tears and the symbolism of being unable to reach him by phone, 3.
431* Last Words: The words were direct more at Rena than Akai, which may lower the number? 3.

441For being a relaxing SliceOfLife show with ScienceFiction to steer the plot, it got [[CerebusSyndrome pretty damn serious]] in the last few episodes. Can the wonders of the aliens' technology save these two particular characters?
442
443First Death: ''Sho Aizawa''
444* '''Cause of Death''': DroppedABridgeOnHim. 4
445* '''Audience Expectation''': It '''was''' the first death, and there was no {{Foreshadowing}} either. N/A.
446* '''Body Found''': Yes, a MeaningfulFuneral was held in his honor. 4
447* '''Reaction''': One character in particular went into a HeroicBSOD for ''weeks'' over this. 4
448* '''Characterization''': RecurringCharacter. 3
449* '''When (s)he died''': Same year. 2
450* '''Died and come back''': Nope. 4
451* RESULT: 24/7 = 3.43. '''''Ouch'''''! With this death, ImprobableInfantSurvival clearly [[AvertedTrope does not apply]] to this show. He's among the [[DeaderThanDead the most dead]] characters to die within a SliceOfLife narrative.
452
453Second Death: ''Hikaru Shiina''
454* '''Cause of Death''': HeroicSacrifice by HeroicRROD. 3
455* '''Audience Expectation''': This time, we ''do have'' plenty of {{Foreshadowing}}. Sadly, all signs point to KilledOffForReal. 3
456* '''Body Found''': [[spoiler: Disintegrated. 4]]
457* '''Reaction''': HesDeadJim. 3
458* '''Last Words''': FinalSpeech along with GoOutWithASmile. 3
459* '''Characterization''' [[spoiler: Protagonist. 1]]
460* '''When (s)he died''': GrandFinale. 4
461* '''Died and come back''': Nope. 4
462* RESULT: 25/8 = 3.125. '''Highly''' unlikely candidate for revival.
463
464In short, ''do not'' let this fluffy show fool you. These aliens are not miracle workers like many any other shows of its genre would have you think.

470Episode 10 featured the dramatic farewell and death for Shun. Given that he plays such a big role for Group One and that he [[spoiler:always loved Saki]], though, one has to question whether he simply disappeared or really died. Let's find out
471* '''Cause of death''': Swallowed up by the Earth before being [[RetGone retgoned]] from people's memories by the Ethics Committee. I say 4.
472* '''Audience expectation''': Based on a dark YA novel by Yusuke Kishi, the series makes it crystal clear that AnyoneCanDie. 4.
473* '''Body found?''': Saki last saw [[spoiler:Shun]] getting swallowed up into the Earth. The others in Kamisu 66, however, can't find his body. It's probably a 3 (fulfills categories for both a 4 and a 2, so I averaged them).
474* '''Reaction''': [[spoiler: [[SayMyName "SHUN!!!"]]]]. Let's say it's a 3.
475* '''Characterization''': At that point, a regular. He was, however, a LoveInterest for Saki. An average of 3.
476* '''When did they die?''': Took place when Saki was 14 years old. Since the narrator [[spoiler:aka the grown-up Saki]] is a 36 year old woman at the time, however, it's over 22 years in real time. Let's go with 4.
477* '''"Died" and came back?''': Has not reappeared since... 4.
478* '''Average''': 28/8 equals '''3.5.''' Hate to break the news to you Saki, but [[spoiler:Shun]] has been KilledOffForReal.

484Kurz Weber, following the events of the [[LightNovels light novel]] ''Approaching Nick of Time''.
485* Cause of Death: NoOneCouldSurviveThat, albeit with considerable detail spent describing the injuries inflicted by the "that" in question, and some shades of a HeroicSacrifice - 2.5
486* Genre: The only characters KilledOffForReal thus far have been {{Mauve Shirt}}s, and several regulars have had {{Disney Death}}s, so... - 2
487* Body Found?: Never Found, as the survivors were forced to withdraw without retrieving it - 3
488* Reaction: [[HesDeadJim He's Dead, Jim]] - 3
489* Characterization: Regular - 2
490* When did they die?: Same year - 2
491* "Died" and come back?: Had a NoOneCouldSurviveThat back in the first story arc and came out of it injured but alive - 3
492* Average: 17.5/7 = 2.5. Back Next Novel, we can only hope.

499Maes Hughes
500* Cause: Shot by an impersonator... of his ''wife''. Hello thar, [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop!]] 4.
501* Genre: AnyoneCanDie... although with alchemy... 3.5.
502* Body: Funeral and all. 4.
503* Reaction: [[HesDeadJim "Daddy's got work tomorrow!"]] 3.
504* Characterization: Regular. 2.
505* Time of death: Not this year, but not 5 yet. 2.5
506* BackFromTheDead before? Nope. 4.
507* Average: 4 + 3.5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 2.5 + 4 = 23/6 = 3.3 If he did come back, in the manga or anime, think Homunculus. However the anime's over and that's not what homunculi are in the manga, so he's pretty much screwed.
508
509Maria Ross, from the manga
510* Cause of death: Burnt to death by Col. Mustang while trying to escape from prison. Classic [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped A Bridge On Her]]. 4
511* Genre: Going with the Hughes algorithm, AnyoneCanDie... although with alchemy... 3.5
512* Body: Here's where it gets weird. If you're looking at it from the point where she dies, it's a DeaderThanDead barely recognizable corpse. After she's revealed not dead, it's a [[FakingTheDead fake corpse]]. Let's split it into 2 and 4, averaging it just doesn't make sense.
513* Reaction: S{{hes Dead Jim}}, for good reason. 3
514* Characterization: I'd say MauveShirt. 3
515* When?: Same year. 2
516* Died before?: Nope. 4.
517* Average:4+3.5+4+3+3+2+4/7= about 3.4, which is worse then Hughes. After she's already not dead it becomes 4+3.5+'''2'''+3+3+2+4/7 and exactly 3. Better, but it still doesn't look good, which leads me to believe the SortingAlgorithmofDeadness is wroMMPH.
518** I think it's just that the algorithm doesn't work when we already ''know'' it's a case of FakingTheDead.
519*** Two problems with that: One, why is FakingTheDead listed as a 2 then, and two, before we knew she was FakingTheDead she was deader then Hughes.
520
521Lust, same.
522* Cause of death: Lit on fire. That's the traditional punishment for lust in Hell, so DeathByIrony. 4
523* Genre: KilledOffForReal, 3
524* Body: Vanished, which would technically be never found, but as we explicitly saw her PhilosophersStone get destroyed, DeaderThanDead. 4
525* Reaction: ItsPersonal from Gluttony. 2.
526* Characterization: Regular. 2
527* When?: Around last year in-story. 3
528* Died before?: Nope. 4.
529* Average: 3.14. Pretty dead. Though, given that Ross survived...
530
531Recently in the same: Gluttony.
532* Cause of death: [[spoiler:Absorbed]]. DeathByIrony. 4
533* Genre: KilledOffForReal as a whole, but given that he's [[spoiler:a homunculus and can be remade]], 2.5
534* Body: Absorbed and/or disintegrated. Never found. 3
535* Reaction: A resounding... nothing. No score.
536* Characterization: Regular. 2
537* When?: Same arc. 1
538* Died before?: [[spoiler:Once]]. 3.

541Not long after that, Kimblee.

588Because ''someone'' had to try it, Mu La Flaga from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''
589* Cause of Death: It's a HeroicSacrifice, but given that it involved a friggin' ''antimatter cannon'', it's probably also NoOneCouldSurviveThat - 2.5
590* Genre: AnyoneCanDie - 4

600[[folder:''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure'']]
601
602It's hard to gauge the likelihood of a ''[=JoJo=]'' character coming BackFromTheDead, since this is a series where AnyoneCanDie. However, let's judge Holly Joestar-Kira from ''[=JoJolion=]''. She's not confirmed dead, but she's left in a state where she's unable to recover without any more Locacaca, and since ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' takes place, at minimum, 9 years after Part 8 with no indication of Holly's fate, there's only [[InferredHolocaust so many places]] one's mind can wander off to.
603* Cause of Death: BusCrash is the closest thing, 3.
604* Audience Expectation: AnyoneCanDie, natch. 4.
605* Body Found: Essentially LeftForDead, 1.
606* Reaction: Josuke took it [[ItsPersonal rather personally]], 2.
607* Last Words: Was last seen [[KilledMidSentence collapsing in front of Josuke]], 4.
608* Characterization: Recurring, 3.
609* When: ''[=JoJolion=]'' took 10 years to wrap up, most of which Holly wasn't part of. 3.
610* Died and come back: Unless you count Holly from the pre-''Steel Ball Run'' universe, never. 4
611* Average: 24/8 = 3. She has the potential to come back, but with Araki being a self-admitted ForgetfulJones, the likelihood is rather low.
612
613Noriaki Kakyoin from ''Stardust Crusaders'' is an infamous case of DoomedByCanon, so gauging his likelihood of return is almost self-fulfilling.
614* Cause of Death: Essentially StuffedIntoTheFridge, as he leaves a DyingClue, 4.
615* Audience Expectation: AnyoneCanDie, natch. 4.
616* Body Found: TorsoWithAView qualifies as ChunkySalsaRule, 4.
617* Reaction: DIO brags about [[HesDeadJim killing Kakyoin]] to Jotaro's face, 3.
618* Last Words: Kakyoin [[HisNameIs hopes for Joseph to understand his message]], 4.
619* Characterization: Regular, 2.
620* When: ''Stardust Crusaders'' wrapped up in 1992; over 30 years ago. 4.
621* Died and come back: Besides appearing in spin-offs, never. 4.
622* Average: 29/8 = 3.625. Safe to say, Kakyoin is never coming back.
623
624Foo Fighters is a big case of HesJustHiding amongst the community, given how {{ambiguous|ending}} the ending of ''Stone Ocean'' is. This can determine whether this fan interpretation holds water.
625* Cause of Death: Initially a HeroicSacrifice, but was changed to RetGone after the ResetButtonEnding. 4.
626* Audience Expectation: AnyoneCanDie, natch. 4.
627* Body Found: Deescalated from a shown corpse to NeverFoundTheBody, 2.
628* Reaction: ReallyDeadMontage that occurs before F.F. dies, 4.
629* Last Words: Dies giving a SedgwickSpeech to Jolyne, 4.
630* Characterization: Regular, 2.
631* When: Died in 2001, ''Stone Ocean'' ended in 2003; 20 years at minimum. 4.
632* Died and come back: The only hero in ''Stone Ocean'' who didn't go through this, 4.
633* Average: 28/8 = 3.5. Very likely they won't end up returning, even considering the circumstances behind ''Stone Ocean''[='=]s ending.

721Alto Saotome (Movie version)
722* Cause of Death: NoOneCouldSurviveThat, [[spoiler:The YF-29 was found wrecked without its pilot, there was a catastrophic explosion mid-fold, so at best he ejected into the fold, wherever that went...]] - 2
723* Genre: KilledOffForReal, generally what happens to characters in Macross, but never to the point of AnyoneCanDie - 3

818
819Both survived despite being thought dead for long periods of time, but partly as a result of being LeftForDead, their odds were better than any of the recently "killed" characters except [[spoiler:Hinata]], who scored a 2.75 at first, and a 2.5 after her "body" score was factored in.

875[[folder:''Neon Genesis Evangelion'']]
876
877The cast minus Asuka and Shinji
878* Genre: AnyoneCanDie -- not good.
879* Bodies? Disintegrated, which could be read [[NeverFoundTheBody Never Found]]-- optimistic.
880* Characterization? Spans the spectrum, but the [[ContractualImmortality male and female lead]] are not among them.
881* Finally, cause: CreatorBreakdown -- They're all doomed.
882* Okay, seriously, average: 3. They're doomed.
883
884Rei
885* Cause: N/A
886* Genre: AnyoneCanDie. 4
887* Body: Well we never see it die as such. It sort of just vanishes. So either a 1 or NA.
888* Reaction: Seeing visions of her, meh. Difficult to say. I'll put down NA, as the main character doesn't seem to care.
889* Characterization: Protagonist. 4
890* How long ago: Over 5, so 4.
891* Died and came back: I've lost count. 1. (to be fair, she did have a cloning system, but at the end she was at the power of a living god, so I'd put it as the same)
892* 14/5 = 2.8. Deadish.
893
894Actually got a different result for ''Evangelion.''
895* Cause Of Death: depends on the character. On the whole, more RedemptionEqualsDeath than anything else.
896* Genre: AnyoneCanDie--not good.
897* Body: It's ''right there,'' '''alive''', just melted down into orange drink. LeftForDead.
898* Reaction: not really applicable.
899* Characterisation: ''everyone on the planet''. That strikes me as fairly regular. And the archvillain. And most of the protagonists. I'll give this one a 2.
900* Average: 2.5.

904[[folder:''One Piece'']]
905
906While hardly anyone ever dies in ''Manga/OnePiece'', here's an analysis on Kuina's death to see if she somehow survived and grew up to be Tashigi
907* Cause of Death: Bridge Drop (falls down the stairs) - 4
908* Genre: Typically DeathIsCheap, but flashbacks are KilledOffForReal - 3
909* Body: Shown in the manga, but not in the anime - 4
910* Characterization: [[DisposableWoman Loved One]] - 4
911* Reaction: HesDeadJim - 3
912* Died: 5-10+ Years Ago - 4
913* Previous Death: No - 4
914* Average: 3.73. Dead and buried, and NOT Tashigi.
915** Unless, of course, Oda deliberately wrote it so that it's only what he WANTS us to think. Considering the series' ever-growing JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient...until he reveals what the deal with Tashigi is, it's impossible to really know what exactly is going on.
916
917Now here's a comparsion between Bellemere's death in 4kids and the original
918* Cause of Death: HeroicSacrifice - 3
919* Genre: KilledOffForReal for flashbacks in the original, Death is Cheap in 4kids - 3, 1
920* Body: Shown in the anime, Left For Dead in 4kids (they don't take her away) - 4, 1
921* Characterization: [[DeathByOriginStory Loved One]] - 4
922* Reaction: Montage in original, - 4
923* Died: 5-10+ years ago - 4
924* Previous Death: No - 4
925* Average: 3.73 in the original, which all but precludes her coming back. In the 4kids version, she gets a 3, which is fairly tall odds against her return.
926
927Gin
928* Cause of Death: HeroicSacrifice (gives Luffy his gas mask) - 3

946
947Mr. 9 and Miss Monday
948* Cause of Death: HeroicSacrifice (buying time for Vivi to escape) - 3
949* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
950* Body: None shown - 3
951* Characterization: MauveShirt (not much stronger or more important to Baroque Works than the [[Mook Billions]]) -4
952* Reaction: Shock - 2
953* Died: Last year - 2
954* Previous Death: No - 4
955* Average: 2.42. While their score isn't that bad, they aren't likely to come back after this long.
956* ( In the newest chapter cover their ALIVE AND MARRIED)
957
958And just for fun, let's see how [[DemBones Brook]] scores
959* [[JustForFun/HowToKillACharacter Cause Of Death]]: NoOneCouldSurviveThat - Technically he didn't. - 2
960* Genre: KilledOffForReal or DeathIsCheap - This is the main thing. Brook died in a flashback, but he ate a Devil's Fruit that brought him back to life. - 3/1
961* Body: DeaderThanDead or LeftForDead - You can't get much deader than a skeleton, but he IS alive now. - 4/1
962* Characterization: Protagonist - He's a Straw Hat now. - 1
963* Reaction: Montage or [[WakingUpAtTheMorgue Waking Up]] - He died in a flashback, but he pretty much woke back up where his body was left. - 4/1
964* Died: Last Year - A year had gone by the time his soul got back to his body. - 2
965* Previous Death: Once, but got better- Devil's Fruit brught him back. - 3
966* Average: Brook's score is a bit of a doozy, depending on how you're working the score. If you count the fact that the man died in a flashback with a montage and that he's deader than dead, you're going to get '2.71'. If you go by the fact that death is cheap and he woke up on the boat where he had been left, you get '1.57'. This would probably best handled by averaging those scores and putting it at '2.14'. Being that he's currently alive, it make this moot, but you gotta wonder.
967
968Mr. 2, comparing his most recent "death" and his previous one
969* Cause of Death: HeroicSacrifice ( Both times, [[spoiler:stayed behind to help Luffy and his allies escape]]) 3
970* Genre : DeathIsCheap (It's not a flashback) - 1
971* Body: LeftForDead - Fighting doomed battles and dies out of sight of the protagonists - 1
972* LastWords: FinalSpeech - 3
973* Reaction: Tearful farewell, acknowledging his loss - 3
974* Characterization: Recurring character - 3
975* Died: Last year for previous death, same arc for this death - 2, 1
976* Previous Death: Assumed to have died once before - 3, 4 in his original "death"
977* Average: 2.25 this time, 2.5 the previous time. He could survive this time, too, given how similar the circumstances are.
978
979Now here's an interesting experiment to see how likely it is for Oda to kill off a character in the present timeline.
980
981Little Oars Junior
982* Cause of Death: HeroicSacrifice - 3

991
992A particularly spoilerrific case, let's see if this will stick:
993
994Portgas D. Ace
995* Cause of Death: HeroicSacrifice ([[spoiler: took a fatal blow meant for Luffy]]) - 3
996* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1
997* Body: lying there [[spoiler: with a big hole through most of his torso]] - 4

1001* Died: current arc - 1
1002* Previous Death: none - 4
1003* Average: 24/8 = 3. I doubt even Ivankov could be able to heal his injuries; unlike Pell, this is likely to be permanent.
1004
1005Whitebeard
1006* Cause of Death: Overkill ([[spoiler:shot and stabbed repeatedly]]), - 4
1007* Genre: DeathIsCheap - 1, although this might break the trend.

1013* Previous death: none - 4
1014* Average: 24/8 = 3. About as dead as [[spoiler:Luffy's brother]].
1015
1016Hey, let's try it for Pell.
1017* Cause of Death: Heroic Sacrific. 3
1018* Genre: DeathIsCheap. 1
1019* Body: Supposedly disentigrated by bomb, never found. 3
1020* LastWords: Final Speech. 3
1021* Reaction: Sort of a montage, so 3.
1022* Characterization: Loved one (not romantic but pretty important to Vivi). 4
1023* Died: Sort of the same arc, though it was pretty much after it ended so... 1.5.
1024* Previous death: None. 4
1025* Average: 22.5/8 = 2.8. So he beat [[spoiler:Ace and Whitebeard]] by about .2 points. Possible explanation for why he lived and they didn't?
1026
1027Vice-Admiral Vergo
1028* Cause of Death: Crippled, then left in a building that's about to blow up. NoOneCouldSurviveThat - 2

1051[[folder:''Pokémon'']]
1052
1053Hunter J.
1054* Cause of death: In a ship underwater that has been flooded, then explodes: Overkill Bridge Drop for sure and shew is pretty much the only person on the show who tries to flat out kill people so death is fitting, 4
1055* Genre: Pokemon is pretty light on the deaths, I can't recall anyone (else) that died in the anime (excluding characters who first appear as ghosts and die in their backstory). 1.5
1056* Body: Her glasses float to the surface, so never found, but they are oddly intact for, you know, being in an explosion. 2.5

1063
1064Let’s do one for the characters that bit the bullet in the movies…
1065
1066Dr. Fuji of ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''.
1067* Cause: Killed by his own creation, 4
1068* Genre: Ditto, 1.5
1069* Body: Most likely a bloody pulp after the lab explosion, 4
1070* Reaction: Not much of one was given by Mewtwo, 4
1071* Characterization: He had some characterization, but not enough to pull him out of MauveShirt territory, 4
1072* When: At least a decade ago for viewers, but given that Ash is still ten years of age, less time may have passed in-universe, 3
1073* Died Yet: Nope, 4
1074* 28/7 = 3.5. This doc's a goner.
1075
1076Latios of ''Anime/PokemonHeroes''.
1077* Cause: Sacrificed himself to save Alto Mare, 3
1078* Genre: See above, 1.5
1079* Body: We seen him drown, but his spirit now resides in the new Soul Dew, which is essentially a SoulJar, 2
1080* Last Words: Probably along the lines of, “Fly you fools!”, 2
1081* Reaction: He was given what’s more or less a funeral and montage thanks to his sight seeing with his sister, 4
1082* Characterization: One of the legendary co-stars in the film, and is a fairly popular legendary, but not necessary an EnsembleDarkhorse, 2
1083* When: See the above, 3
1084* Died Yet: Nope, 4
1085* 21.5 / 8 = 2.69 The door is open to the possibility that the Latios in the 18th movie will be in fact the Guardian of Alto Mare, but the chance isn't too big.

1146Here is a cute SliceOfLife SchoolgirlSeries, so [[TemptingFate how certain can the deaths actually be]]?
1147
1148Character one: Megumi "Megu-nee" Sakura
1149* '''Cause of Death''': HeroicSacrifice. 3
1150* '''Audience Expectation''': AnyoneCanDie -- This is an absolute given since Creator/{{Nitroplus}} wrote the anime's script and one of its members produced the original manga. 4
1151* '''Body found?''': Yes, it's witnessed and confirmed on screen. 3
1152* '''Reaction''': MeaningfulFuneral -- The cross on the roof was meant for this character. 4
1153* '''Last Words''': ObiWanMoment. 3
1154* '''Characterization''': '''''Loved one!''''' 4
1155* '''When (s)he died''': Same year. 2
1156* '''Died and came back?''': Technically no, but she [[CameBackWrong did come back in horrifying fashion]] and was eventually put down for good. 4
1157* RESULT: 27/8 = 3.375... '''Okay''', ''what the hell?!'' This is supposed to be a "[[{{Iyashikei}} healing anime]]", [[MemeticMutation right]]?! '''[[SubvertedTrope Wrong]]'''!
1158
1159Character two: Taroumaru in the anime version
1160* '''Cause of Death''': StuffedIntoTheFridge essentially. 4
1161* '''Audience Expectation''': AnyoneCanDie. 4
1162* '''Body found?''': Yes. The death happens on screen, and the body is given yet another MeaningfulFuneral. 4
1163* '''Reaction''': ReallyDeadMontage -- ''Everyone'' recalls the times they spent with this character. 4
1164* '''Characterization''': Another loved one. 4
1165* '''When (s)he died''': [[GrandFinale "Graduation" Day]]. 4
1166* '''Died and came back?''': Again, not a technical death the first time, but the second leaves no question. 4
1167* RESULT: 31/8 = '''''3.875'''''! Seriously, Creator/{{Nitroplus}} actually ''would do it''. Tempting them is SchmuckBait at best!

1171[[folder:''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'']]
1172
1173Nia
1174* Cause of Death: Technically, NoOntologicalInertia. There is some aspects of MortalWoundReveal [[spoiler:since it was revealed during the final battle she would die if the Anti-Spiral died]]; however, it comes out as a [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop]] to some fans. Guess I'll make it 3.
1175* Genre: AnyoneCanDie - 4. [[spoiler:At this point [[BigGood Kamina]], [[TheLancer Kittan]] and all the secondary mecha pilots aside from Yoko and Viral have already died.]]
1176* Body Found: Disintegrated - 4
1177* Reaction: This is a hard one. I guess it is closest to HesDeadJim, giving it a 3.
1178* Last Words: Kind of an ObiWanMoment since [[spoiler:she just smiled, said se loves Simon and then [[DisappearsIntoLight Disappeared Into Light]].]] - 3
1179* Characterization: Loved One - 4
1180* Died: SeriesFinale - 4
1181* Died and came back: Did not - 4
1182* Result: 29/8 = 3.625. Hoo boy. She's pretty much DeaderThanDead.
