...Thank you! Shadow! Sonic! I'm so glad to have met you... and everyone else too! I don't know what my creator was thinking when he made me, but I'm glad that he did because I got to meet all of you! When I first met you all, I was like a little baby robot who couldn't do anything! Heh heh... I couldn't even talk! I was weak, but you all protected me, and played with me. I'm sure there were times when I was a burden, or I was in the way, but in my time with you, I never felt "in danger" or "worried" as Gerald programmed me to. All I ever felt was "FUN" and "EXCITEMENT". And "HAPPINESS", too... Has Tails... gotten stronger? I know he tried his hardest... to protect me... Thank him for me... And Knuckles ... we had so much fun... Even though he is too... gullible... But he is such... a good guy... So, Sonic... don't tease him too much, okay? And Mom... Cream ... Looks like this is goodbye... I don't want to go... I'll miss all of you... ... ... Shadow... Should I be glad that...I was born...?
~ Emerl's last words before he died.
Freedom and unity have battled since the dawn of time. But they are not opposites, they describe the same phenomenon. One cannot be free unless all are. And if all are free: they are as one. I fell short of achieving this...but it doesn't matter. The goal isn't important the journey is, and it never ends.
~ Optimus Prime's final monologue

Heroes who have died and have remained dead. This category should only include heroes that are currently deceased rather than ones who have "died," then returned. This also is for robots or machines that were destroyed/deactivated permanently or ghosts that were banished to the spirit world as well. Undeads can't count unless they are also killed for good. This also includes heroes who were erased from existence. There are plenty of those heroes who are deceased who are Saved Souls as well.

Do not add the deceased heroes who have already been revived, unless the latter was revived earlier then died again.

Various means how a hero died/remained dead includes:

  • Violent death: A hero winds up killed in a violent or disturbing way, such as fatally incinerated by an explosion, mutilated alive, gunshot to the head, eaten/mauled alive, impaled, crushed by a heavy object, completely dissolved, hanged, decapitated, etc. Usually the hero is completely taken by surprise and doesn't have the time to react. However those with enhanced senses usually manage to avoid that kind of death (e.g. Duck Guy).
  • Died with honor: The hero has accepted the fact that their demise is inevitable and had enough dignity to face it. Many of the heroes who died in this way are honorable ones. Thus, circumstances were includes:
    • Chooses to die rather than to be saved: This usually applies to redeemed villains who commits a heroic sacrifice before death, it is regarded as a way of redemption. The best example would be Anakin Skywalker. Other times, heroes who are willing to protect their loved one can choose to be sacrificed, such as Marv of Sin City.
    • Accepted death as their fate and faced it with dignity: Many wise heroes accepted their death as part of their destiny. For instance, Yoda dies peacefully after He told Luke Skywalker everything he has to know.
    • Fought until death: Heroes who fought with honor in order to avenge, protect or defend themselves such as King Leonidas from 300.
  • Suicide: These heroes have chosen to put an end to their lives. Reasons are various but mostly include depression, being heartbroken, or in order to avoid a fate worse than death, or in best case scenarios, to prevent something bad from happening.
  • Martyrdom: In both of those cases, they qualify as Martyrs.
    • Giving a Villain their Killing Chance: These heroes let the villains kill them so the hero can succeed later.
    • Heroic Sacrifice: Those heroes who sacrificed their own life for others to live.
  • Died in disgrace: Not many heroes died in disgrace. However, this can apply to fallen heroes who are not willing to face the consequences of their acts and were not redeemed upon their death.
  • Dying from an illness: In this case the hero has succumbed to a deadly disease that the hero failed to cure at time.
  • Died off-screen: In many cases, certain heroes have met their fate onscreen. But, in this case, the hero's death was not shown but was mentioned by a character that they met their fate when no one else was there to see it. Usually seen with posthumous characters with a huge impact on the story.

Many of these heroes left a legacy behind even after their deaths which may remain for a long period of time.

Characters who are confirmed dead rather than simply being presumed as much are different; please keep those categories separated.
