*** [[spoiler:[[{{Badass}}Auron]] accidentally falls into this trope as well, ten years prior to the game's beginning, when he's killed but immediately reanimates as an Unsent. He took advantage of his new mortality status to ride Sin to Zanarkand and help mold Tidus into the hero his father wanted him to become. Namely, one who'd be willing and able to destroy his father, the newest incarnation of Sin, forever.]]

** Similar to the John Wayne anti-smoking ads that he filmed as he was dieing of cancer. Something like, "If it can kill me, it can sure kill you." They waited until after he died to air them.

*** Made ''[[BeyondTheImpossible even]] [[ItGotWorse worse]]'' in the remakes. It's revealed that his soul split in half at the time of his death: his dark half became the Emperor of Hell, while his light (''[[LightIsNotGood but still evil]]'') side became the Light Emperor and presides over the game's equivalent of ''Heaven''. Mateus has you screwed from '''both''' sides of the celestial chain.



*** It's not planned. Exdeath wanted to ''rule'' the world with the power of Void. [=NeoExdeath=] specifically wants to reduce everything to nothingness.
** [[spoiler:Seymour]] in ''FinalFantasyX'' [[spoiler:is hardly affected by death. It's probably not wanted, but he doesn't care much and instead increases in strength, whenever he returns. Also 'main villain' Sin's death is nothing but a break for the people to catch their breath, before it returns.]]

* John Locke's death on ''{{Lost}}'' first seems to be part of a preordained plan to save the island. Later events make it seem Locke was suckered into believing his death would have meaning, when really it was part of the villain's grand plan. Ultimately, however, John's death is the trigger for the Oceanic 6 to return to the island, which leads to the villain's defeat.

Dellyn takes great delight in telling Thaco how his name will go down in legend among the goblins because of his glorious death at Thaco's hands. Things [[http://goblins.keenspot.com/d/20090630.html do not turn out like he hoped]].

That is, save for 13 Solar ghosts who still raged at their betrayal... and who were all too happy to accept the deal the [[EldritchAbomination Neverborn]] offered them. Thus were the Deathlords born -- immensely powerful ghosts with a stated goal of dragging all of Creation into the maw of Oblivion.
