History Main / FinalFirstHug

* Sam and Dean in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' would die for each other, have killed for each other, would sell their soul for each other but when do the fans finally get to see them hug? When [[spoiler: Sam's just been stabbed in the back and dies in Dean's arms.]] Oh Kripke, you {{Magnificent bastard}}! [[Film/Patton I watched your show!]]

* Film/TheManFromNowhere has [[spoiler:Cha Tae-Sik]] hug [[spoiler: So-Mi]] at the very end. Subverted, however, because while [[spoiler: Cha Tae-Sik]] isn't dying or in any danger, he still has to leave [[spoiler: So-Mi]] to spend time in jail, possibly for a long time.

* VideoGame/{{Undertale}} has a non-fatal example of it - [[spoiler: the player character gets a hug from Toriel, the friendly creature that saved thier life and was acting like a mother to them, if she is still alive after the battle with her.]] However, she told the player character not to return, explaining why this is a last hug. [[spoiler:They can meet again later on, subverting the trope, but she is not expecting this at the time.]]

When [[spoiler: Sam's just been stabbed in the back and dies in Dean's arms.]] Oh Kripke, you {{Magnificent bastard}}! ([[Film/Patton I watched your show!]])

* Played with in a disturbing way in ''Manga/SoulEater''. [[ManipulativeBastard Medusa]] is an AbusiveMom to Crona for the entirety of the series... [[spoiler: until she suddenly becomes incredibly kind to Crona, hugging [[AmbiguousGender him/her]] for the first time and prompting Crona to freak out and kill her.]] Of course, this was all part of Medusa's plan.

* In the 2007 ''Film/{{Beowulf|2007}}'' movie, [[spoiler:it is revealed the the dragon Beowulf fights to the mutual death is actually his own son, by way of the same creature that was mother to Grendel. After the climax of the movie, wherein the dragon has mortally wounded Beowulf, and he has torn out the dragon's heart, they both crashland on the beach. There, the dragon's form melts away into the waves, revealing a shiny, golden humanoid. It's not quite a hug, but Beowulf looks his son in the eyes and lays a hand on his shoulder before his corpse washes away]].

* Fate gave one to Alicia ([[spoiler:the dead girl she was cloned from]]) before escaping a LotusEaterMachine near the end of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs''. It's one of only two times in the franchise that [[StoicWoobie Fate]] cries, the other being when she realized that she was in said LotusEaterMachine and it was giving her [[YourHeartsDesire everything she ever wanted and could never have]].

* In the Japanese version of ''DragonballZ'', Creator/RyoHorikawa's finest performance as Vegeta was encapsulated in the scene where he must get his son Trunks to escape from the incoming demon Buu. The invariably proud Warrior Prince softens with sincerity, and says the page quote above, does so before [[HeroicSacrifice giving his life to save his family's. (Of course, he also knocks him unconscious to prevent the boy from following.)]]

Yet, at the moment of death, such a father might find that his pride seems immaterial and insignificant compared to the crying child before him. Deciding that it's not worth to go to his grave honorably with regret for it, he dissolves into the long overdue personification of love for the first and last time before facing the final journey.

* When [[BigBad Raoh]] of ''FistOfTheNorthStar'', broken-and-defeated by Kenshiro, holds the younger warrior's face for the first and final time [[GracefulLoser like a big brother]]:

* Arika and her mother Lena do this in ''MaiOtome''. It's a TearJerker in that this is the first time they met since separated when Arika was only a baby. Tragic in that [[spoiler: Arika had to MercyKill Lena to stop Schwartz and get the Otomes' powers back.]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Halo 4}}'' [[spoiler: In a variation, the first time that Cortana manages to physically touch John-117 (by making a Hard Light body for herself following the detonation of the Havok nuke) is what is assumed to be the final time they see each other ever again.]]
-->[[spoiler:Cortana: [[TearJerker I've waited to do that for so long...]]]]

->"''Trunks... Papa has not hugged you once... not since you were born. Please let Papa hug you.''"

[[caption-width-right:347:"I know now why you cry... but it's something I can never do."]]

** Finally, there is the moment with [[spoiler:: Asriel]], whom the player can hug after defeating [[spoiler:him in the TrueFinalBoss battle]]. This comes with one extreme Tearjerker line... "[[spoiler:I don't want to let go.]]" because [[spoiler:he'll revert back to a flower form and be alone again.]]

Whether this turns out to be the last time they meet is a question to be answered in the full game (It's a demo at time of writing.)

* Happens during the apocalyptic season 1 finale of MobileSuitGundam00: [[spoiler:Christina and Lichtendahl die in each other's arms when the Ptolemaios is destroyed.]]

* It's not exactly the trope, but after the final battle of ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', [[spoiler: after Claus kills himself with his own lightning, he stumbles towards his twin brother Lucas and hugs him for the last time.]] A {{Tearjerker}} moment, indeed.

* Played with in a disturbing way in SoulEater. [[ManipulativeBastard Medusa]] is an AbusiveMom to Crona for the entirety of the series... [[spoiler: until she suddenly becomes incredibly kind to Crona, hugging [[AmbiguousGender him/her]] for the first time and prompting Crona to freak out and kill her.]] Of course, this was all part of Medusa's plan.
