'''Basic Trope''': [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A character dies while standing up.]]
* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz, upon getting run through by Sir Robert's Sword in ''Tales of Troperia'', refuses to drop dead, standing up as his life leaves his body.
* '''Exaggerated''': Evulz is dead stiff; ''He can't even be knocked down.''
* '''Downplayed''':
** Evulz does a KneeFoldFallOfDefeat, but only remains kneeling instead of dropping face first as usual.
** [[FellAsleepStandingUp Evulz didn't die, but he lost consciousness while standing up.]]
* '''Justified''':
** Rigor mortis kicked in for Evulz.
** Evulz maintained a sturdy and balanced posture as he died, making it hard for him to fall.
* '''Inverted''': Evulz is brought BackFromTheDead while standing up.
* '''Subverted''': Evulz is ''literally on his back'' when he gets run through by Sir Robert's Sword.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then he stands up, and promptly dies once he's on his two feet.
* '''Parodied''': Everyone, out of respect for Evulz' VillainousValor, puts him in a coffin while he's still standing up, ''and buries him vertically''.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Evulz [[TheyKilledKennyAgain is consistently killed and brought back to life on an episodic / chapterly basis in a work where]] DeathIsCheap, so whether or not he does this trope or actually does fall is DependingOnTheWriter.
* '''Averted''': Evulz just slumps onto his back or on his belly when he dies.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfDrama / RuleOfCool
* '''Lampshaded''': "He hasn't fallen, even when he's dead? Guy must be real tough."
* '''Invoked''': Evulz, not wanting to be made a coward, explicitly casts a spell on his own body so that he doesn't fall when he dies.
* '''Exploited''': Evulz' manner of death boosts the morale of those who saw it.
* '''Defied''': Sir Robert makes sure to ''pin'' Evulz to the floor with the sword, completely negating all possibility of Evulz standing up in death.
* '''Discussed''': "Evulz was so brave and strong, that even in death, he refused to fall."
* '''Conversed''': "He's gonna fall down now. Any second now."
