I agree; a split is needed. Death by Origin Story started as a comic book trope, about the only characters off-limits to Death Is Cheap. The hero's own death, by definition, doesn't really count.

Does the version with the hero's death cover anything not already covered by Dead to Begin With and/or First-Episode Resurrection?
I guess it is.

Yeah, I think those two cover this more centrally. There's also Dead All Along.
We should just move the examples the applicable trope.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin
Death by Origin Story has gathered a lot of examples of the protagonists own death being his origin story so should we do something about this?
