Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (1988) [Gyunei Guss]: Blown apart inside his Jagd Doga mobile suit by Amuro Ray (Tôru Furuya) with the Nu Gundam's Hyper Bazooka launcher, as Quess Paraya (Maria Kawamura) watches in rage. (For the English version, see Kirby Morrow.)

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Birth of NERV (1996; anime) [Ryōji Kaji]: Shot in the stomach (off-screen) by an unknown assailant. We're only aware of his death after we hear ambulance sirens and a message Kaji left in Misato Katsuragi's (voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi) answering machine. (For the ADV version, see Aaron Krohn. For the VSI version, see Greg Chun).
Cowboy Bebop: The Real Folk Blues Part II (2001; anime) [Spike Spiegel]: Presumably bleeds to death after being slashed in the stomach by Vicious (Norio Wakamoto). (For the English Version, see Steven Jay Blum.)
One Piece: Advance, Law! The Kindred Man's Final Fight (2014; anime) [Donquixote Rosinante]: Mortally wounded after being shot several times by Doflamingo (Hideyuki Tanaka), he dies after using the last of his Devil Fruit powers to allow Law (Hiroshi Kamiya) to escape. (For the English version, see Ray Chase).
Demon Slayer: The Connected Bonds: Daybreak And First Light (Kimetsu No Yaiba: Tsunaida Kizuna Kawataredoki Asaborake) (2023; anime) [Zōhakuten]: Disintegrated when his main body (Toshio Furukawa) was decapitated.

Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy (2011) [Kain Highwind]: Killed (off-screen) while battling the Manikin army, along with Lightning (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto), Vaan (voiced by Kenshō Ono), Yuna (voiced by Mayuko Aoki), Laguna Loire (voiced by Hiroaki Hirata), and Tifa Lockhart (voiced by Ayumi Ito), in order to allow the other Warriors of Cosmos to survive and enter the next cycle; their bodies vanish from this plane and return to their own worlds, where they are still alive. (As they had been defeated and killed by the Manikins, who are an unauthorised foreign presence to the battlefield, they are permanently erased from the battlefield and constitutes a death in the eyes of the gods.) (For the English version, see Liam O'Brien.)
