** Volume 9 sees the return of Taci, Arthur's former sparring partner during his time training with Kordri back in Volume 5, who gets sent by Kezess to purge the Dicathian resistance for turning against him and injuring his pride. After brutally defeating the Lances and slaughtering his way through much of the resistance, he is only stopped by Arthur's timely return to Dicathen, who proceeds to take him into the aether realm to safely finish him off. In addition, after not having been seen since the attack on Xyrus back in Volume 4, Feyrith Ivsaar III reappears to enlist Eleanor's aid in exposing Kezess's attempts to manipulate the Dicathian resistance, only for the start of the next volume to reveal that he was one of the casualties of Taci's rampage.

** Volume 8 has a somewhat delayed example in the form of Feyrith Ivsaar III. After not having been seen since the attack on Xyrus back in Volume 4, Feyrith reappears at the end of the volume as one of the elves whom Tessia's party rescues from Alacryan captivity. At the end of the next volume, he ends up being one of the many casualties of Taci's rampage, with his demise only being confirmed at the start of the volume afterward.

Samuel tearfully declares that WeUsedToBeFriends, but neither can work up the courage to kill their former comrades. Ultimately, Connie wrestles away Samuel’s gun and shoots both him and Daz, before crying out over the need to kill his friends to do what’s right and protect the world]].

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead 2''. In the first two minutes of the game, you rendezvous with Agent G from the previous game, who's been gravely wounded. He urges you to go on without him and stop the bad guys and the first boss you encounter taunts you with the infamous line "''Suffer like G did?''", at which point you'd naturally assume he's toast... but nope; the GoldenEnding has Rogan (also returning from part 1) showing up to tell you that G is fine and helping to clear out the remaining undead in the city, but even if that ending isn't canon for whatever reason, G's return as a playable character in parts 3 and 4 certainly settles it.
