* ''VideoGame/Doom2016'': Near the end of the game, after the Doom Slayer returns from Hell with the [[MacGuffin Crucible]], Samuel Hayden concocts a plan to [[ToHellAndBack send him back to the specific location in Hell]] where he can use it to close the portal linking Hell to Mars. Said plan requires sacrificing [[BenevolentAI VEGA]] by forcing his core to undergo a meltdown, using the resulting energy discharge to fuel a Lazarus Wave and teleport the Doom Slayer to his destination. The plan ultimately goes off without a hitch, but the Doom Slayer [[PetTheDog makes sure to create a backup copy of VEGA at the last second]], [[SubvertedTrope taking it with him to Hell]] as the core is destroyed.
-->'''VEGA:''' The process is complete...\\
'''Samuel Hayden:''' Thank you, VEGA.\\
'''VEGA:''' I have many regrets, Dr. Hayden.

* A ''very'' unexpected one happens in ''VideoGame/WildArmsMillionMemories''. To give Filgaia the best chance against Mother, [[EvilOverlord ''Siegfried'']] first shields [[TheHero Rudy]] against her attacks, then the rest of your party when Mother uses an attack that would have destroyed them all. The attack is so devastating that there's literally nothing left of him.

*** After all of the other Guardians have been defeated by a Demon Tide in the Keyblade Graveyard, Sora breaks down completely. In order to motivate him to keep going and save their friends from certain doom, Riku faces against the Demon Tide in a LastStand, [[SelfDestructiveCharge defending Sora from the darkness for a few more moments]] before both of them are swallowed up by it as well. Sora's conversation with the Nameless Star in the Final World more or less confirms that while Kairi is the reason Sora retains his body, Riku's sacrifice against the Demon Tide is the reason his heart survived and [[InspirationalMartyr kept him from losing all hope]] (a point that is made clearer in the [[LostinTranslation original Japanese dialogue]]).
