* ''Fanfic/AlwaysVisible'': Delia's mother commits suicide for no particular reason. It looks like the author just wanted to flatter the authors of the original film.

* ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'': Major character Axol who debuted in the series' "Anime Arc" got killed off in the ending of the later "Genesis Arc" as a MercyKill due to him being possessed by [[KnightOfCerebus SMG0]]. Needless to say, this decision was met with [[BrokenBase division]]. Some didn't mind it, seeing it as a fitting way to end a CerebusSyndrome-y arc. Others, however, consider it to be a mindless, [[{{Glurge}} Glurgy]] thing that has no purpose other than shock value.

** The last time we saw Choose Goose in the sequel specials ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeDistantLands'', he was affected by Coconteppi's ichor at the end of "Wizard City" and went through a SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome. Two years later during the second sequel series ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeFionnaAndCake'', he turned into an evil looking goose, but he's quickly electrocuted to death after Simon uses him as a sacrifice to summon Golbetty to the Land of Ooo. Though the next episode reveals that he actually survived, albeit not in good shape... before ''actually'' killing him when Simon uses him to do a second attempt.

* ''Series/ScreamTVSeries'': Jake survived the first season but was gutted in the first episode of season two. The second Ghostface who survived the second season was killed at the very beginning of the Halloween Special. Justified in that the show is a slasher series.

Compare NotQuiteSavedEnough, DowntimeDowngrade, SequelReset, BackForTheDead (where a long-absent series character is brought back only to get killed off), BusCrash, SequelNonEntity and HappyEndingOverride. Contrast with DoomedByCanon, where a character in a prequel gets killed off because his/her death is necessary for the preceding work's plot.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'':
** The few times that a classic rogue from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' appears, they're usually killed off for good in their first appearance. This fate befalls Mr. Freeze, Ra's al Ghul, and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker the Joker]]. Bane is the only villain spared, but he's been reduced to a wheelchair-bound vegetable hooked up on life-support 24/7 after years of Venom abuse, and might as well be dead.
** Kairi Tanaga from the ''B:TAS'' episode "Day of the Samurai" returned in the two-part episode "Curse of the Kobra", now an aged sensei at her own dojo. She ends up performing a HeroicSacrifice and perishes taking down APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil who was trying to bring about the end of human civilization.
