Warning: While not always a Death Trope, can often involve that, so be wary of spoilers.
Heel-Face Door-Slams in Video Games.
- The Bonfire of the Vanities DLC for Assassin's Creed II does this several times in the same mission. In order for the people of Florence to rise up against the insane monk Savonarola, Ezio has to assassinate each of his lieutenants that he had corrupted with the Apple of Eden. By mortally injuring them, the men are freed of the Apple's influence, and several of them express remorse and horror for their actions. But by then it is too late for them to right their wrongs, and they die in misery and shame. Notably, one of them admits that he wasn't under the Apple's influence and followed Savonarola because he happens to agree with him. He laughs at Ezio for thinking that the Apple is the only reason someone may share another person's ideas.
- This can happen to trigger John Doe's Start of Darkness in Season 2, Episode 4 of Batman: The Telltale Series. During a tense confrontation on a bomb-laden bridge, John asks to be given a chance to get the detonator and a man-made virus away from Harley Quinn. If allowed, things start looking like they'll go south, with Amanda Waller ordering her men to move in to prevent it. If Bruce agrees with this assessment, we get this heartbreaking line.
- An option for the player in Chrono Trigger. After the... events... in the Ocean Palace and the escape from the Blackbird, the party encounters Magus, the former Disc-One Final Boss, on the North Cape. He makes some rather insensitive comments about the recently deceased Crono, and when your party protests, draws his weapon and asks if you want to fight him. If you say no, he'll stand down and join the party. If you say yes, however, you'll fight and kill him.
- Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc's Mukuro Ikusaba voices her doubts about the ideals of Ultimate Despair in the final scene of her Social Link and resolves to turn over a new leaf If We Get Through This…. Monokuma kills her immediately after.
- Gaspard in Dark Cloud 2 realizes that he's lost his way after a "Not So Different" Remark moment with the hero and decides to quit serving the Big Bad and back out of the conflict entirely, expressing a wish to see the end of the heroes' journey and maybe end his own with them. Unfortunately for him, the Big Bad pulls a Villain Override out of spite and the heroes are reluctantly forced to kill him.
- Dragon Age:
- After dueling Loghain in Dragon Age: Origins, you can offer him a chance to redeem himself, but generally the path is to decapitate him right there, if only because Alistar will leave the party in disgust at allowing the man who led nearly every Grey Warden of Ferelden to their deaths live. It's worth noting that Riordan, the person who suggests to let Loghain be of some use instead of executed, is a Grey Warden himself.
- The end of the "Best Served Cold" quest in Dragon Age II. Thrask forms a secret mage-templar alliance to depose Meredith and get the Circle working the way it's supposed to. Then he has one of Hawke's loved ones kidnapped just in case they try to stop him. While he has no intention of actually hurting the hostage, his right-hand woman doesn't share his good intentions, and turns on him the second he stands in her way.
- Dyztopia: Post-Human RPG:
- Subverted with Detritus, who refuses to help President Zazz hunt down the survivors of Pon Pon Village. Zazz then orders Akari to sync with Capricorn and kill Detritus. However, Eliza secretly rebuilds Detritus with his memories intact.
- Played straight with Aphos, who mistakenly believes Akira is a terrorist and attacks them. Afterwards, Aphos realizes the news lied to him and offers to join the party, but Asterisk kills them.
- In Chapter 3, if Edgar survives, Robun almost considers making peace with the party when Edgar saves them from Clyde, but Saggitarius eats their soul.
- This is a more ambiguous case in the final dungeon, where Detritus-11 tries to convince Detritus-12 to join Akira's side instead of Zazz, but Akari remotely deactivates Twelve before the latter can confirm her answer. In the ending, Twelve is reactivated and given a chance to rehabilitate. However, her success at rehabilitation depends on Eleven's link level.
- The Elder Scrolls:
- Shows up in some quests throughout the series. You can also choose to invoke it yourself at any time. After you've finished a quest and have chosen to spare the person attempting to make the Heel-Face Turn, you can immediately turn around and kill them.
- Oblivion: The Mehrunes' Razor DLC involves a mad wizard seeking an artifact weapon as part of his bid to invade Cyrodil. Deep inside his fortress, you encounter Khajiit workers bussed in by the wizard to help work his mines and outfit his army. Of course, they attack you on sight just like everyone else, despite the fact that they're not wearing armor and most of them have nothing but hoes and rakes to attack you with. While poking around, you can find a letter home by one of the workers saying that they hate Cyrodil and the work sucks, but the money's too good. It also mentions that they're planning rebelling on at very least against the head smith in the near future. Of course, that worker is probably dead now… Much like the Penny Arcade example below, there's a lot of talk about missing the recipient of the letter and sending them needed money.
- In Skyrim, the Blades want you to do this to Paarthunax, the dragon leader of the Graybeards, for his past crimes… nevermind the fact that the only reason the atrocities were thwarted was because of his eventual notion that these mortals are worth something, and teaching them how to overcome Alduin.
- Elohim Eternal: The Babel Code:
- The aggelia in the Fortress of Dan reveal Jehuda and Attika tried to form a peace treaty with the Cainites after Enok helped them stop the out-of-control Shedim Eaters. Unfortunately, Nestor killed Attika and framed Enok in order to keep the war going.
- Played with for Avram, who formed an alliance with Cain in order to explore Mount Sinai. Although they enjoyed each other's company and both want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Avram notes that their goals might conflict, since Avram mainly wants to sate his curiousity about the heavens while Cain wants to kill the Kosmokraters, though Cain hopes he can convince Avram of his cause. Regardless, the Kosmokraters bribe the Cainites outside of the mountain with manna to kill Avram and Cain's faction.
- Played with in Exit Fate. Gudrun, one of Siegfried's top generals, plans to defect after realizing (with Tarlia's help) that Siegfried has not been himself lately. However, that goes right out the window when she learns that Daniel has murdered Siegfried, and she ends up fighting to honor his memory until she's defeated in the final dungeon.
- Kuja of Final Fantasy IX redeems himself by teleporting the heroes out of the Hill of Despair and outside the Iifa Tree. It's probably because of this that Zidane decides to go back for him. If anything, at least Kuja didn't die alone.
- It is very possible to slam the door in the face of a character's redemption (although, not necessarily canon) in every Fire Emblem, due to the fact that Anyone Can Die, and there's lots of potential allies who are enemies at first.
- In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, this is the unfortunate fate of all but a few Black Fang who realize how Nergal's interference completely turned their organisation against what it stood for.
- In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Glen and Duessel, two of Vigarde's generals, both figure out that something is very wrong in Grado, and decide to join Eirika and Ephraim's cause. While Duessel manages to defect successfully, Glen is intercepted and killed by Valter, and on Eirika's route, Valter even pins Glen's death on Eirika to pit his younger brother Cormag against her.
- In the Birthright route of Fire Emblem Fates, Zola comes to legitimately respect the avatar, and begs for Garon to spare the Avatar's life even — however, he is promptly killed.
- In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, on certain routes, characters may leave your house- Lorenz in Azure Moon and Silver Snow, and Ashe in Verdant Wind and Silver Snow. It's possible to bring them back into the fold, but you can also choose to kill them. Similarly, it's possible to recruit Lysithea on Crimson Flower if you didn't previously recruit her, but also possible to simply kill her instead.
- In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Fernand defects from the Deliverance due to his disagreements with Clive over letting Alm become the new leader. After being defeated several times and seeing firsthand the power of the Duma faithful, he begins to have second thoughts, but ultimately ends up being killed by Rinea, whose soul Berkut sacrificed to Duma for power, and barely holds on enough to meet Clive and the Deliverance and warn them about it with his final breath.
- In Fire Emblem Engage, Marni, one of the Four Hounds, eventually comes to realize that what Zephia is doing is wrong, and tries to break Veyle's helmet(which forcibly suppresses her true personality in favor of her evil one) with her axe. Unfortunately, the attempt fails and Zephia kills her. The act wasn't completely in vain, since Veyle is able to break free of the helmet's control, but in the end, Mauvier is the only Hound to undergo a Heel–Face Turn.
- In First Encounter Assault Recon, Harlan Wade makes a doomed attempt to undo what he did to his daughter Alma by releasing her from the Vault where she's been locked for almost the entirety of her life and un-death. As soon as she is able to get out, she thanks him by liquefying his flesh.
- Halfway into Gemini: Heroes Reborn, it's revealed that Alex, the heroine Cassandra's supposed Love Interest, is working for the Big Bad, but despite his allegiance he still have genuine feelings for Cassandra. Unable to disobey the Big Bad,Alex have no choice but to attack Cassandra; after his defeat as a boss, Alex tries confessing his feelings for Cassandra and his intentions to return to the side of good, only to pass out and succumb.
- Thor, the God of Thunder in God of War Ragnarök is built up throughout the series as a maniac who killed any giant he saw and implicitly beat his son Modi for failing to kill Kratos and Atreus after they killed Magni, Modi's brother and Thor's implicitly favorite child. After being defeated by Kratos and a bit of help from his daughter Thrúd, he finally begins the road to overcome his relapse into drinking and abusive relationships with Sif and Thrúd... only to get killed by Odin directly in front of Thrúd.
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has Officer Hernandez, the third, silent member of C.R.A.S.H (Well, not completely silent. The one time he speaks is on the phone with C.J. warning him that C.R.A.S.H is going to make sure he stays in Los Santos and works with them.) who acts as a Foil to the loudmouthed Tenpenny and Pulaski. Eventually however, he got fed up with Tenpenny and Pulaski's ways sometime offscreen as his final cutscene is of Tenpenny beating him with a shovel for being a snitch, and having C.J. dig his grave at gunpoint. Hernandez isn't dead though, and he gets back up to try and tackle Pulaski, only to get shot, finally dying.
- The Introduction DVD expands on this. Hernandez speaks in it, telling a story about how he had to make a difficult decision between letting a man beat his crack addicted wife, or jailing the man and leaving the obviously unsuitable for children wife with their kids, establishing himself as a cop with morals. The other two cops scoff at that being a difficult decision, telling him that they're gonna be making difficult decisions on a regular basis. Later on, they force him to personally shoot a cop who had evidence proving that Tenpenny and Pulaski were crooked, so he can "be a fucking man." It makes Hernandez's death all the more tragic, as he was pretty much one of the handful of good cops in the whole series.
- The first contract in Hitman: Blood Money is the Swing King, who was the owner of an amusement park which was forced to close after a major malfunction caused the park's ferris wheel to collapse with patrons riding it. Even though he was acquitted of the fatalities that ensued from the accident, no-one has forgiven him — no-one wants to invest in re-opening the park while he owns it. The one person who does offer the Swing King money is a drug baron who converts the defunct park to his base of operations. SK's wife is demanding a divorce which he won't sign off on under the delusion he can start the park up again using the drug baron's money. Oh, and someone who had a loved one die in the aforementioned malfunction hired Agent 47 to kill him, so that causes the door to slam fully and fatally on him.
- To rub salt in the wound, should you choose to listen to him rather than immediately kill him, he tries to beg for mercy and explain how he's trying to make good and move past all of this. Unfortunately, Agent 47 isn't moved, and the player is not given an option to bypass this event as you cannot proceed without killing him.
- Nimdok's scenario in I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream entails realizing the atrocities he committed during World War 2, and doing everything he can to make amends in AM's recreation of the concentration camp he performed his research in. Nevertheless, in an ideal playthrough of his scenario, while his change of heart is recognized by the Jews he frees, they still order the Nazi's Golem to kill Nimdok once he relinquishes control of it over to them, as his crimes merited no less as punishment.
- In Injustice: Gods Among Us, it's Regime Shazam who suffers this fate, realizing that Regime Superman has lost his mind in wanting to obliterate Metropolis and Gotham City before marching over to the prime universe to subjugate it. He gets some nice heat vision to the eyes for his trouble, but this very evil act by Regime Superman ends up putting Regime Flash on the road to a Heel–Face Turn.
- If you defeat Darth Malak of Knights of the Old Republic he may have some regrets to share with you as he lies dying, "Still... still spouting the wisdom of the Jedi, I see. Maybe there is more truth in their code than I ever believed. I... I cannot help but wonder, Revan. What would have happened had our positions been reversed? What if fate had decreed I would be captured by the Jedi? Could I have returned to the light, as you did? If you had not led me down the dark path in the first place, what destiny would I have found?"
- The player is given a chance to throw that back in his face, however: essentially saying something along the lines of, "I turned back to the Light, you could have as well. You chose your own fate."
- The player can also pull this on Bastila if you are a real Jerkass.
- You can also do this to Atris in the sequel.
- The Last of Us Part II: Ellie eventually finds out that Joel lied about the Fireflies giving up on finding a cure and that he slaughtered them all to save her. Upon learning this, she breaks off her relationship with Joel and refuses to speak to him until 2 years later, when she decides to open the door to forgiving Joel, to which he tearfully accepts. Unfortunately, the day after, Abby, the daughter of one of the surgeons Joel killed, finds Joel and kills him in vengeance, denying Ellie and Joel the chance to officially reconcile.
- League of Legends had a case of this applying to a largely sympathetic character: King Jarvan III of Demacia. While he genuinely served as The Good King to a vast majority of his polity, he passively perpetuated the kingdom's longstanding oppression of mages within its borders, enabling discontent to brew. Shortly before Sylas of Dregbourne escaped imprisonment and launched his full-scale mage revolution, J3 realized enough was enough and finally wrote an decree to abolish the mageseekers and the kingdom's anti-mage laws, but once Sylas made his move, J3 was suddenly found dead under mysterious circumstances (Sylas wanted to kill him, but he discovered the king's dead corpse, and none of his comrades claim responsibility — nevertheless, Sylas is attributed as the culprit). Even worse is that his son, Jarvan IV, upon learning of the existence of the decree, used his new position as king to order it be destroyed, if only to enable further anti-mage crackdowns in service of taking revenge on his father's supposed murderer.
- In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV, Arianrhod, also known as the legendary Lianne Sandlot, loses her bout against Rean with Rean giving his life energy to her to live on. Then Rufus shows up and back stabs her, killing her off.
- Mass Effect
- In Mass Effect, Saren, by it simply being too late for him by the time he realized that he'd been indoctrinated by the real Big Bad.
- In Mass Effect 3, the exact same thing happens with The Illusive Man.
- Also Benezia and Fai Dan from the first game. All examples save the last have the same source. you can also choose to slam the door in the Rachni Queen's face in 3.
- In Mass Effect 2, if you talk Miranda down from killing Niket, who, after hearing of Miranda's plan to, in his view, steal Oriana from their father, betrays Miranda to the Eclipse mercenaries, he sees the error of his ways, but is gunned down immediately afterward.
- Again in 2, if you bring a disloyal Miranda to the final battle and choose the Paragon option, she'll tell the Illusive Man where to get off...and then die thirty seconds later.
- Mortal Kombat 9:
- Cyrax gets a chapter in Story Mode showing his signs of turning good, ditching the Lin Kuei over the Cyber Initiative. Then he got captured and roboticized off-screen.
- Elder Sub-Zero dies at Scorpion's hand and his soul descends into the Netherrealm to become Noob Saibot (as foreshadowed in Mythologies and revealed in Deception). Raiden tries to avert this by striking a deal with Scorpion (if Scorpion doesn't kill Sub-Zero, he'll ask the Elder Gods to restore Scorpion's family to life), but Quan Chi, being the asshole that he is creates false images of Sub-Zero killing Scorpion's wife and child, causing Scorpion to lash out and kill his nemesis in anger anyway. So, not only does the younger Sub-Zero get dragged into the picture alongside Smoke again, but his older brother returns to life as Noob Saibot again. This also comes with the unfortunate side-effect of Scorpion playing Quan Chi's lapdog, something that Raiden calls him out on (in the original timeline, Scorpion learned that Quan Chi, and not either of the Sub-Zero brothers killed his family, and chased Quan Chi through the Netherrealm after 4, beating the tar out of him).
- Also, Sindel. True to Mortal Kombat 3, she's brought Back from the Dead as a part of Shao Kahn's Evil Plan, Brainwashed and Crazy. In the original timeline, she was able to break free of her mind control and was reunited with her daughter Kitana and their allies. Here, Shao Kahn empowers her with Shang Tsung's soul, allowing her to kill 90% of Raiden's chosen warriors (including Kitana). It takes a kamikaze Heroic Sacrifice on Nightwolf's part to kill her, and her and the fallen heroes' note souls descend into the Netherrealm, where they become Quan Chi's slaves. Sindel does make a Heel–Face Turn in her Arcade Ladder ending, but this is noncanonical in regards to the story. note
- It got worse in Mortal Kombat X. Raiden, against all odds, managed to restore Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Jax from the aforementioned status as Quan Chi's slaves. Soon after, the remaining good guys managed to capture Quan Chi, in which Raiden have plans to have him restore the other revenants. Then comes Scorpion, completely blinded by rage on the realization that Quan Chi was responsible of his family and clan's death, plowing through the heroes to reach out Quan Chi and behead him, thereby dooming the rest of the revenants to a permanent undead status.
- In Neverwinter Nights, if you can turn Aribeth back, she comes back, turns herself in, and tells the leadership of Neverwinter everything she knows about the Luskan forces. Then they turn around and execute her anyway.
- A really mean player who chooses to side with Kelemvor at the end of Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer can do this to Arraman.
- Bishop has the door slammed in his face as well. He gives you a piece of the Mask and warns you of enemies that are about to attack you, implying he's done at least some soul-searching. Unfortunately, he's absorbed into the Wall moments later.
- The Redeemed in Nexus Clash are tragic refugees from The Legions of Hell who heroically battle both the forces of evil and their own corrupted natures in a relentless, heroic push upward into the light. They walk a much narrower path even than the Angels, since so many of their powers call on their former demonic natures and are scorned by the Good Powers That Be. Unless they're using their powers for good all the time, they will quickly fall victim to this trope and be rejected by both heaven and hell.
- Implied in Persona 5 with Principal Kobayakawa, who, after covering up Kamoshida's abuses at Shujin and backing The Conspiracy, is hung out to dry by his backers and contemplates going to the police to confess everything. He suffers a targeted Mental Shutdown and dies on the way there.
- In Planescape: Torment, the First Incarnation had caused such a big evil that he went in search of immortality purely to give himself enough time to redeem himself. The fact that this Gone Horribly Right is what sets off the main plot ages ago. And then, assuming you play The Nameless One as willing to redeem himself, you spend the entire game doing just that, and at the end of the game you end up either going to hell anyway for your sins, or willing yourself out of existence entirely. You have gone way too far over the centuries to have any shot at redeeming yourself and making it stick.
- Also happens to Trias if you manage to redeem him with Vhailor in your party. Long story short, when the animated suit of armour tells you that he will do anything to bring justice with his giant murder axe, feel free to believe him. Justice is everything, and punishment leads to perfection.
- In The Stinger of Portal 2, Wheatley laments on how horrible and monstrous he'd been to Chell, but now he's stranded floating in space, almost certain never to return to Earth with the Space Core and his own regrets for company. He only wishes he could take it all back, and says that if he could ever see Chell again, all he'd be able to do is apologize.
- Specialist Cross in [PROTOTYPE] helps Alex Mercer defeat Blackwatch in the later half of the game. He is killed by the Supreme Hunter before he gets the chance to reveal his true identity to Alex.
- Rise of the Third Power: Selene holds a grudge against Rowan for stealing one of her ships and breaking her heart, to the point where she's willing to kill his Resistance allies for associating with him. After her second boss fight, Selene almost seems ready to reconcile with Rowan. Sparrow kills her, ironically because she feared that Selene would still try to kill Rowan in the future.
- Special Agent Kato in Shadow Hearts Covenant gradually grows disgusted with the motives of his superiors, and shifts focus towards his own dream of having a family with the clone of his murdered love (it's complicated), and living peacefully. Then the girl is killed a second time, and Kato decides to destroy the world.
- Silent Hill's Michael Kaufmann can potentially be on the receiving end of this. If on the path to the Good endings, he assists Harry in foiling Dahlia's plans with a vial of Aglaophotis, and what does he get for his trouble? He gets Dragged Off to Hell by Lisa Garland.
- Shauna in the Normal Path of Soul Nomad & the World Eaters dies of Scarlet Iago immediately after she begins to be liked by the group.
- In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the Second Sister is a former Jedi who was tortured into becoming an Inquisitor. After Cal Kestis defeats the Second Sister, her old master offers her a chance to rejoin the Jedi. She gives the offer serious thought, only to be killed by Darth Vader before she can accept.
- Super Robot Wars Alpha series: Kukuru unfortunately gets killed off just on the verge of making one in Alpha 2, but the biggest one in these games comes at the tail end of Alpha 1 if you choose to make peace with Kycillia Zabi. Although she can't do much to help take the edge off of the remaining conflicts, she does at least pledge to do what she can and her Zeon faction will keep from causing trouble. Shortly thereafter though, Angel Halo activates and, in a show of power, leaves the entire population of Side 3 braindead.
- Sword of Paladin: Lancelot is a former Einherjar who tried to conquer Arc Guard in a misguided attempt to unite the world and bring peace. In the Ginnungagap, Nade almost convinces Lancelot to seek redemption and return to being a true knight, but Anguis has the Golden Ladies kill Lancelot.
- Can occur in episode five of Tales from the Borderlands. If freed from jail during the escape from Helios, Yvette tries to make amends with Rhys by helping him dismantle the space station's core. This causes a nearby airlock to open, and Rhys has the option to let her fall to her death.
- There are no less than three different versions of Leon's death in Tales of Destiny. In the manga, Stahn beats Leon, but then tries to convince him they can save Marian by working together. He's almost swayed... Then the mines start flooding, and he's too weak to escape. This is promoted to a full out Redemption Equals Death in the game's PS2 remake.
- Undertale:
- Near the end of a neutral run, If you choose to spare Asgore, he will promise to care for you. Then he dies, either through an ambush by Flowey or his own realization that keeping you underground would be against your wishes and his subsequent suicide so you can take his soul.
- An odd case of a Face-Heel Door Slam happens at the end of No Mercy run. Once Flowey has realized that not only can he now be Killed Off for Real, but you're almost certain to do it, he makes a fast Heel–Face Turn and goes to warn Asgore about you. Unfortunately for both of them, Asgore's response is roughly "Not Now, Kiddo". After you knock Asgore to the floor in one shot, Flowey finishes his SOUL off, claiming that he can be useful to you and begging not to be killed. This... does not move you.note
- Of course, right before that, there's a chance for a more traditional Heel-Face Door Slam. If you accept Sans' offer to spare you midway through the fight with him, he lets you bring your guard down before dunking on you. What, you think he's really gonna forgive someone like you? To be fair, he does point out your one chance at redemption on the Game Over screen: reset and don't walk on the genocide route again.
- This goes up to meta levels when one considers the consequences of completing a No Mercy run, which involves the Fallen Child taking away control from the player, destroying the world (even if you refuse), and then offering to bring it back in exchange for giving up your soul, which allows them to possess Frisk at any time. Specifically, right at the end of a True Pacifist run, which used to be the happiest ending. Most of all, they're almost permanent — as in "uninstalling the game and installing it on a different computer (at least on Steam with Steam Cloud) does not work" permanent.
- Nuwangi in the original Utawarerumono visual novel, where after being defeated he is set loose by Eruruu making him realize just how badly he had screwed up. This makes him vow to end the war… and is promptly killed by bandits for the reward they assume they'll receive. The anime just had him run off and disappear, leaving his ultimate fate ambiguous.
- Cetsa gets this late in The Way (RPG Maker): rescued from death and touched by both the hero's utter devotion to finding Serena and his utter disdain for Cetsa herself, she decides to start over anew and give up her life of crime. The first person she encounters after making this decision is a dying Slade who she doesn't recognize. Grappling with his own failures, he kills her so he can die knowing he did something right. Then everything starts getting weird.
- Lor'themar Theron in World of Warcraft became increasingly angry with how the Blood Elves were treated by both the Forsaken and Warchief Garrosh. During the Landfall storyline Variann Wrynn made secret overtures to the Blood Elves in hopes of regaining their lost ally (the elves had left the Alliance after the Second War), and Lor'themar was willing to listen... until Jaina purged Dalaran of all Sunreavers and aligned the neutral Kirin Tor firmly with the Alliance after hearing of the Horde using Dalaran's portal network to steal the Divine Bell and blaming the Blood Elf Sunreavers.
- Perhaps this goes on to be something of a subversion after the fact, as the Kirin Tor's actions may have soured the Blood Elves from rejoining the alliance, it hasn't stopped them from turning on Garrosh for his abuse of them. Further, his problems with Jaina certainly didn't stop him from finding a tenuous truce with her on Thunder Isle.
- The ending of Yakuza: Like a Dragon has Ichiban confronting Ryo Aoki, the Governor of Tokyo and his former friend Masato while the latter is going through an intense Villainous Breakdown after a Engineered Public Confession has ruined him. After a tearful pleading from Ichiban begging Aoki to not kill himself, he decides to turn himself in for his crimes so that he may atone upon release... only to be assassinated by Sota Kume, a political lackey and his most ardent believer left broken by the revelation that he dedicated his life to a corrupt powermonger. Aoki's final words to Ichiban has him pleading him to never give up on life and how it would have been nice to start from the bottom by his side.
