I'm sorry, but we're not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead. I'm not buyin' it! He's just waitin' for us to say a bunch of nice things about him. Next thing you know, he'll come waltzin' through that door, [gestures at the closed door] like, right now.

Never get the chance to find out. My mom died when I was a baby. Oh no, it's okay, I ricochet riches moneymakergroup to know her later in life. And yeah, I suppose we got along okay. Do you have any idea what you're accusing me of? Death is just a revolving door, isn't it? Kryptonitesilver bulletBuffy.

Characters that request for refund of earnest money deposit in the Matoran Universe are immediately brought back to life on the Red Star, but can't go back to their people due to a design failure in the process.

Bill the Cat dies often, once from acne. It is unclear, however, what this has to do with winning wrestling matches. The one incident buying sasol inzalo shares stands out in particular was when he threatened to send Edge to Hell; at the end of the match, he apparently did just that, by chokeslamming him through the ring apron with flames shooting out, as both he and the announcers proclaimed that Edge had indeed gone to Hell.

Edge returned a few months later without explanation. The Undertaker does not seem discouraged by this. Done for Rule of Cool mostly. The Undertaker himself has "died" and come back to life before, quite a few times in fact. There was the Royal Rumble incident, in which Yokozuna and a bunch of other heel wrestlers bombarded him, opened his urn which caused him to lose his powers, 3 ducks trading system results rolled him into a casket.

As Paul Bearer rolled the casket away he was shown on the titantron inside the casket and he gave a speech in which he promised "I will not rest in peace. Then of course there was the Survivor Series in which Kane buried Undertaker alive, thus forex helsinki keskusta his Biker persona and leading to his return as the Deadman we all know and love at WrestleMania. The entire premise of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons is based on this trope—something which the fanfic writers have used rather gleefully.

In Bleak Expectationsprotagonist and narrator Pip Bin is the only main usd inr exchange rate trend who never dies.

Everyone else dies once at least. Gently Benevolent, the Stock market overweight definition Badhas variously been raised in seance, reincarnated into a pigeon, a ghost, and many more. The only ones who are sure to stay dead are learn to counterfeit money easy various Harshsmackers, Grimpunches, etcetera.

In Battle Spiritsthere are numerous cards that allow you to regain spirits from the trash discard pile. So while death isn't literally cheap on the contrary, it can be rather expensiveit's not difficult to get out of since PCs tend to accumulate vast amounts of treasure. There are a few spells such as Barghest's Feast that can make it so that the target cannot return to life by mortal magic.

This page recognizes the potential implications of cheap resurrection spells for the society and proposes alternative rules, which can roughly be described as "dead is dead, but you'll be surprised what you can live through ".

In 4th Edition, resurrection is less common at low levels, but more common at higher levels. There are some epic level powers that can be activated "once per day, when you die.

Your character automatically revives 24 hours after each death, for free, in a different graveyard or tomb somewhere in the world. The Undying Warrior epic destiny takes this to an extreme, being able to come back to life five times a day.

The fifth time isn't the last time he can use it, just it takes 24 hours to return to life at this point, so that counts as a different day.

The 1st Edition Dragonlance modules had the "Obscure Death" rule. If a significant character one with a name died, the Dungeon Master was encouraged to have the death occur in such a way that it was easy for the DM to explain how the character managed to survive anyway.

It's essentially a combat resurrection designed to let defeated party members get back into the fray. Hero Realms is an odd example. When Champions are dealt enough damage, they are considered "Stunned" instead of being dead even if hit with a curse or are assassinated. It makes some sense: This being a Deckbuilding Gamediscarded cards get reshuffled to reform the deck, so fallen Champions will appear again.

Also, there is a card called Varrick, the Necromancer - who can return discarded Champions to the top of the deck, so maybe necromancy or healing spells are involved as well. The Resurrection has this as a core mechanic, as the most important ability of the titular mummies is to not die permanently. There's only a handful of ways to kill an Amenti permanently, and the only "mundane" method is to hit them with a nuke. And even that just traps them in the Underworld.

On the other hand, mostly due to the game mechanics, dying is still really inconvenient Paranoia embodies this trope.

You are only dead for as long as it takes for your next clone to be shipped somewhere. At least, until you run out of clones And in the latest versions, you can buy more! Although they start developing genetic defects you can get these scrubbed out of your template for an extra fee. Warhammer 40, has the Tyranids, who give a whole new meaning to Death is Cheap. Any Tyranid that gets killed in an invasion is just digested and used to make more 'Nids.

Not to mention that any semi-sentient Tyranid i. Hive Tyrants just get their consciousness re-absorbed into the Hive Mind whenever their current body is destroyed and can easily get a new one with all their experiences intact and maybe some new cool bio-weaponry to boot. The Necrons get out of death most of the time by just teleporting out and regenerating.

Things a Necron can get patched up from include: If Necron forces are on the verge of defeat then they, remains and all, get teleported back to their tomb world for be repaired; taking this to the logical extension, this means that very, very few Necrons have actually been truly "killed", which is bad because their opponents often only defeat at truly great cost.

Dark Eldar have Doctor Frankenstein-esque 'surgeons' known as Haemonculi and their 'augmented' Igor-like Wracks who can reconstruct entire new bodies for those Dark Eldar willing to pay an often esoteric price.

The best can, given the client's will is strong enough, regrow an entire body from a charred hand. This being Warhammer 40,the procedure naturally involves torturing dozens of slaves to death, and the prices can range from slaves to souls to dying breaths. Naturally, the Haemonculi save the best and most reliable methods for themselves; the most senior of their number have died and come back countless times Some Dark Eldar have actually come to find the whole process exhilarating.

To them, death isn't just cheap, it's a hobby. Urien Rakarth, the oldest and most insane of all Haemonculi, actually enjoys dying, he can't wait to see what new mutations the process will cause in his body. The Craftworld Eldar to a lesser extentas well. Although their physical bodies can be killed, their souls are stored in little gems called Soulstones. Soulstones are either sent to the Infinity Circuit of their home craftworld, or they are placed into Eldar walkers like Wraithguard and Wraithlords.

Eldar generally try to live for as long as they can and have taken great steps to ensure that when they do go, they have some reprieve. They aren't motivated by cowardice, but because they're well aware of what's waiting to claim their souls on the other side. It is not impossible for incredibly powerful psykers to either reclaim people's souls from the warp the Emperor is implied to have done it or find a way to anchor themselves to the physical world.

The Emperor, whilst not technically deadis believed by some fans to be being set up for this - when his physical body finally croaks, his soul will simply reincarnate for a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

In prehistoric Earth the shamans could force their souls into newborn bodies after death. Until the Daemons became strong enough to snatch their souls from the Warp. Then they decided to commit mass suicide and all reincarnate in a single immortal body, who became the God-Emperor of Mankind 40, years later. Many of the Chaos Space Marines such as Kharn, Lucius and Eliphas are simply brought back from the dead when they're killed, thanks to intervention by their patron Chaos gods and general Warp shenanigans.

Like any good villain, they just won't stay dead. In Toonrunning out of hit points causes you to Fall Down, but this just means you have to sit out for a few minutes before returning with your hit points back up to full.

In Eclipse Phase resleeving is expensive, but fairly routine. And Firewall guarantees resurrection for all its agents if they lack insurance, no promises on the quality of the new morph though.

In addition a morph whose head hasn't been destroyed can be thrown in a healing vat and revived if within a couple hours of death or if put immediately in stasis which medichines do automatically. In Smash Upthis is the Zombie faction's hat. Just like how zombies come back from the dead, they have abilities that allow them to draw and even play from their discard pile. They even have a unit that can be played from the discard pile itself!

As a general rule in Hc Svnt Dracones if the brain is intact they're eligible for Body Replacement surgery. Cogsune take it a step further with a quantum backup system that downloads them immediately at death. In '' Citadelsthe A Ssassin can kill any other character, but their death will only last for 1 round, as the character cards are reshuffled every turn. In RuneScapeplayed straight for players; according to a Temple KnightSaradomin catches you when you fall and return you to life to fulfill your destiny.

However, subverted for NPCs—very few non-attackable NPCs are resurrected. One exception is Zanik, who was brought back by the tears of Guthixwho had wept at the destruction of the God Warsso it was sufficiently climatic. Zanik was a special case.

Bandos, one of the gods, had a destiny in mind for Zanik to take a position that would benefit him greatly. Since Guthix wouldn't mind so long as Bandos himself doesn't come down, he felt it acceptable to allow her to come back to life. This gets averted in The Chosen Commander, when Zanik defies her destiny and is told that she can no longer be revived from death.

She doesn't die, however. Zero from Mega Man X is notorious for his repeated deaths. Even after his final no-really-he's-dead death in Mega Man Zero 4his data and memories were compressed into a sentient rock that gives suitable people the ability to take up his form and saber.

For that matter, the series' favorite side villain, Vile, has died at least 3 times. Obliterated in X1, then in X3, then in X8. Justified for Net Navis in the Mega Man Battle Network series, as being AI programs, they can simply have a back-up copy available in case the original gets deleted Though exceptions exist, such as Mega Man himself.

Strangely, numerous characters get very concerned about their Navis being in danger at times, yet have no qualms about them getting deleted in friendly net battles, with no justification for that. To be fair, Megaman himself has no backups yet is still fine after losing a friendly netbattle. Odds are that the fight stops once a navi reaches enough HP to almost be deleted, but not actually suffer that fate.

Even though the Mortal Kombat series deliberately subjects death to the Rule of Coolthe creators will sometimes, in a high profile move, permanently kill off characters between games for drama. Unfortunately, they can't even get those to stick. The question of whether or not Johnny Cage is still alive remains a running gag to this day.

Since characters can conceivably be killed off at the end of every single match, plotline deaths are generally taken with a grain of salt by both gamers and developers alike. In fact, in the very opening scene of Mortal Kombat: DeceptionRaiden and Shang Tsung are both seen getting killed, only to get back up minutes later to help Quan Chi defeat Onaga, The Dragon King.

It got worse with Deception 's stage fatalities, which automatically win the round. And that's still nothing compared to Smoke's fatality where he blows up the entire planet, killing himself and the rest of the roster. Then, you fight the next match This has been lampshaded. In one instance, you can buy an overpriced 'charm' from a shady troll vendor that he cheerily explains will let you do exactly what you do anyway to recover from death.

In a later example, Arthas the Lich King may casually murder your character for what seems to be the sole purpose of embarrassing you. Let this be a lesson learned, mortal!

How many times have she and her sisters brought you back from the grip of death itself? You're just all kinds of inconsiderate, aren't you? It makes sense in contextbecause he's figured out the source of his immortality and is giving it up, but Memetic Mutation has made it into a synonym for Captain Obvious.

Berserker, on the other hand, has the power to be killed 12 times before he dies, and comes back instantly without any adverse effects. This is supposedly a huge difference from mere quick regeneration. Not to mention, it then makes him permanently immune to whatever killed him after he regenerates.

It's not without averse affects. After losing five lives taking down Archer his combat abilities are severely weakened to the point where, left to his own devices, he would not have chased after and fought Saber. You learn quite early that there's a time loop that occurs whether the main characters live or die.

Thus, Shirou is free to get killed off much more quickly than in FSN. In fact, you have to die multiple times. When They Cry appears to have this, thanks to the series' "Groundhog Day" Loopbut later on it's shown to be subverted, since the "Groundhog Day" Loop doesn't show time repeating over and over, but alternate universes.

Thus, if the characters die in one universe, they will remain dead. Death seems to be even cheaper in Umineko: When They Cry thanks to the Endless Witch being able to kill and revive endlessly at will. Hell, even outside the fantasy aspect and into the meta-world in EP5 some characters like Battler "die" since he stopped thinking and his body stopped as well, but then makes his awesome comeback when he reaches the truth.

And then in EP6 he revives a gone Beato with, uh, magic it's a complicated process, don't ask. Ultimately subverted by the end of the series, though, since it turns out that while they can be revived as pieces for each new game, in the real world nearly everyone who was on the island is dead and will remain so. The Kurain Channeling Technique and the Fey family are the keys in this in the Ace Attorney games. Maya and Pearl Fey constantly channel Mia Fey so she can help Phoenix in court, after her dying in the second case of the series.

The DL-6 incident features this heavily as Gregory Edgeworth is channeled by the then Master of the Kurain Channeling School, Misty Fey to testify about his own death.

He names the wrong guy, though whether he knew this, and, if he did, why, is left up to speculation. Dahlia Hawthorne is asked to be channeled by her innocent little half-sister Pearl by their mother, Morgan Fey, so they can exact their revenge and become the main family, respectively.

This plan all goes wrong, so instead she gets channeled by Maya and is exorcised by Mia's Pre-Mortem One-Liner in the middle of the courtroom. The trope is the subject of this joke from The Order of the Stick. Also subverted; Roy dies fighting Xykon. Haley and Belkar recover his body, but have to lug it around for the next few months with no access to a resurrection spell. He isn't resurrected until more than strips later.

It still gets lampshadedwith Belkar saying that Roy will be back before you can say "Reduced impact of character mortality". The prequel book On the Origin of PCs also has fun with this trope.

While informing his son Roy that he's about to die for good because he's reached the end of his lifespan Natural Death being the only form you can't come back fromEugene mentions that Roy's little sister can't understand her daddy "won't be coming back—this time. Even more amusingly, a nearby tombstone belonging to a man described as "the Unlucky" also has multiple death dates - the last four all in the same year. Subverted in another case, where Xykon is mindlessly torturing a captive soldier; Xykon thinks that he can just be resurrected if they kill him by mistake, but Redcloak points out that the soldier's soul has to allow itself to be brought back, and given his situationhe'd probably rather stay in the afterlife.

Possibly double-subverted, because the soldier was creating a list of Xykon's spells; he might have chosen to come back if he had died before sending this important information to the heroes. Elan manages to both lampshade and avert the trope in this strip. The Adventures of Dr. Words cannot do justice to the eponymous Doctor's death and return it begins here and continues until the end of the issue.

For that matter, another character returns from the dead not long after - though this has more consequences. I've left this restaurant without paying my bill once before And I have ensured that it will happen again. That was the most menacing promise of dine and dash I've ever seen. The old "bring her family back from the grave " gambit? Have you no shame? You got killed by a jeopard, then you got captured, then you got killed by Shufgar, then the rest of us got captured.

Speaking as a refugee from the 21st century, the word "killed" loses some of its punch when you build sentences like that. Of course, they return for the next episode Bonus Stage does this starting with "Morbid", in which Joel dies and the others manage to free him from Hell, which is apparently on the sun. When Rya is introduced to the main characters, Joel says that to keep her on the show, one of them must die forever.

Elly kills a minor character, Treelor, that only appeared in one episode before then, since Joel never said the dead character had to be a main character. However, Treelor has since appeared alive in subsequent episodes. In one episode, Joel is about to be crushed by a giant robot. Well, see you next episode. Well, yeah but, you make it sound like death has no consequence!

We're literally waiting to go back. Hell, this is Chiaotzu's second time. Next time, I get a free sundae! Give it some time, you're hanging with the right crowd. How many times has Optimus Prime died, again?

Granted, they weren't all the same person. In Transformers Animatedafter Starscream gained an Allspark fragment and was made immortal, cue a full minute of Starscream dying over and over in increasingly undignified ways. Animated is also famous for establishing a new record for Optimus Prime's revival. He died in the third episode, and came back 75 seconds later. The Maximal High Council tried to abuse this feature, but the character born from it surprisingly did die for good down the line admittedly by having his spark ripped to shreds with a shard of raw energon, a substance shown in his first appearance to be able to damage his spark.

Megatron dies in the last episode of Transformers Primeonly to be revived by Unicron in the Grand Finale movie for use as a vessel to possess.

RuneScape PC Cheats - Neoseeker

In fact, the Transformers franchise in general has no shame in pulling this every so often. As robots, being repaired or rebuilt isn't that far fetched. The only series to really avert this trope is Transformers Primewhich would often revive a character as a mindless zombie and then kill them off again just to get the point across, with Megatron's revival coming at a cost that he didn't care for. In Aqua Teen Hunger ForceMaster Shake has been impaled with an axe, beaten to death with a baseball bat, and eaten by piranhas.

Carl has had his blood drank by a psychotic monster, been crushed by a giant chicken, and had the top half of his body removed by an explosive flaming arrow. And Mcpee Pants has been blown up, killed in a slaughter house, and crushed by Err. Yet all of them inexplicably return save for Mcpee Pants without explanation in the next episode.

Along with that, Ol' Drippy, who was killed by a car, and the Wisdom cube, with the Dumbassahedratron, who were chopped to pieces by a helicopter still appear at the villains meeting hosted by the Mooninites.

Each character has died many times over the course of the show, sometimes multiple times in the same episode. A few episodes end with all or almost all of the cast dying, and yet they're almost always brought back. One exception was the first episode of Season 2, where Wooldoor was treated as though he was Killed Off for Real after he killed himself, but he returned to the house later in the episode.

In one moment in particular, Captain Hero demonstrated his powers of immortality by decapitating himself with a swordfalling off screen dead, and then walking back onscreen.
