I may seem a bit of a specific trope, but it feels like there could be a few examples of this.
Isn't it sad, Shirley?
>>282547470also L.L. if you ask half the fandom.
>>282547333I still believe she should've been taken to a sex dungeon and kept as a slave
>>282547333Clem my beloved
>>282547333Not many spring to mind, but Isekai Retsu is one of the obvious ones
>>282547333Illya is a prime example, being killed in UBW.
>>282547817>also L.L.? Am I missing something?I thought it was pretty solid that he'd died at the end of R2.
>>282549476you're in the half that hasn't seen or doesn't accept the movie.
>>282547333Overlord has a a couple of characters that fit that criteria, besides Clementine. Brain for instance gets turned into a vampire by Shalltear.
>>282549721The compilation movies are part of a different continuity.
>>282550256that's buying into autistic semantics. you can choose your own ending, basically.
>>282547333I feel bad for her. She was strong and in the right place, but unfortunately a OP character appeared to wank off his ego on her.
>>282547333Isekai Amiba
>>282550410I feel bad too.She clearly had the potential to change and better herself, but that monster ended her.
>>282550410That's how it goes in nature. Always someone around to wank off their ego on you.
>>282551269>that monsteryou howl like a slaine bishop.ainz is just a simple Runecraft(tm) salesman.
ENTER!
>>282551269This is basically that one meme
>>282551595lol more like a snake-oil schemer.His "trademarked" runes don't even work, they're merely cosmetic.>>282551663Ah, you mean this one. It's all in the past, really.
>>282551269Is this from the mobile game?
>>282548287Hmm, how does it compare with Baki?
>>282548908Ilya is a good example but only because she dies in the route, or a year after the route ends.
>>282548908Nasu is a hack
>>282552650Actually, in the special Tiger Dojo she implies that there's a way for her to live longer in the Fate route
>>282552847what special tiger dojo is thatyou aren't misinterpreting the dark hints that she was going to die whatever you did, are you
>>282552871The one you get as a reward for getting all of them>Taiga: "Does that mean there's a big danger of Shirou becoming Archer-san in this route?">Illya: "That would depend on how Shirou lives.">"Well, I think that's a pretty small possibility. I'm by his side, after all.">Taiga: "I see. I'm relieved to know that Shirou will head down the path of evil with this small devil.">"Oh, wait a minute.">"You can live that long, Illya-chan!?">Illya: "That's a secret.">"Well, everyone eventually dies, so don't worry about it."
>>282553017I don't think that's the implication there, but you can hope for what you want.
DESSSS
>>282547333
>>282553044The important thing is that there's no route where Shirou could still end up becoming Archer, no matter what some retards think
>>282547835I guess that'll be Zesshi's fate. Torture gets boring after a while.>>282550218Brain is the inverse no? he lives in the orginal source (WN) but then get death by honorable combat in the LN and anime. Arche has the same fate iirc.
>>282550410HAHAH, THIS SOWING IS SO MUCH FUN YESSSSSSSSSSS>ACK, NOT THE REAPING
>>282552214Indeed it is, it's a parallel timeline with a few changes. Never played it, but it has good reviews at least.
>>282553666What that? I'm not familiar with it.
>>282554116Is the WN still considered the official version though? I thought it had been supplanted by the LN.
>>282550410>but unfortunately a OP character appeared to wank off his ego on her.Well that's karma for you.
>>282547333It's curious how much attention and popularity Clementine has.For a side character that appears early in the series, and is killed, she got small spinoff, fanservice from a mobile game, and even a videogame.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAiJdJ8YeJs
>>282556207First Villain Popularity + Aoi Yuuki
>>282554269HAIRY
>>282556207Aoi Yuuki being sadistic is popular?!
>>282556325Based HAIRY poster
>>282549721I've not seen the movie and I still thought he was alive.
This happens when a writer realizes too late that one of their expendable characters is crazy popular. If Overlord guy were smart, he'd make Clem a mainstay.
>>282556207she is the Aura of Frieren
>>282557200Clem will be revived!I BELIEVE IT!
>>282553666A LOT of Eva characters are like this because almost all of them are dead by the end of EoE.
Fren//da is the embodiment of this trope. The main thing she's known for in A Certain Magical Index is dying horribly, but since the spinoff - A Certain Scientific Railgun - isn't caught up with Index she ends up getting a lot more screentime showing off her explosives skills and just hanging out with other characters, completely oblivious to her impending doom.
>>282558176Should I get into Raildex? Every time somebody talks about the lore or the characters I find myself getting intrigued.
>>282557200If she were a mainstay she wouldn't be popular. People always meme up the value of fringe one-shot characters
>>282558385If the esper power system sounds appealing to you, then I would watch Railgun, then Accelerator. I think Index has aged poorly and sort of meanders a lot. It's one of those franchises where the spinoff is better than the original imho.
