Hiarach Verdelet, Drakengard 2. Also, Furiae in Drakengard 1.

Cave Johnson of Aprature Science=
Also, Weighted Companion Cube quite qualifies for this one, too. XD

Tidus, Final Fantasy X-2

Dr. Breen

Odjn the dragon

MegaMan dies when Zero is activated and apparently kills everyone. Zero dies. Then again, he died numerous times in the X series. But this time it's completely. Until ZX came out, in which case his soul is still alive within a floating metallic artifact known as a Biometal/Live Metal. X dies in the Zero series, but also comes back as a Biometal. Phantom dies because Zero kills him, but he comes back as a Biometal. Harpuia, Fefnir, and Leviathan all die when Omega explodes, but they all come back as biometals. Don't you just love the MegaMan series?

Don't forget Protoman/Blues is killed in the 3rd game and is rebuilt for the future games.

Technically, Auron was dead the whole time, if you think about it--he'd been killed when he tried to take on Yunalesca out of rage after Braska and Jecht died to take down Sin. And he's not "sent" until right around the end of the game--so he pretty much has an impact on almost the whole game.

Shiranui and Nagi. Considering you go back in time in the game to where the two were still alive also makes their deaths more relevant, even though they never died in battle.

This one seems the most relevant; Martel. Humans killed her forcing Mithos to hate everyone and gradually become the main antagonist. Martel even inspired the first religion in the game. She has completely affected the world of ToS.

Protoman didn't die in the third game. He was playing his flute during the ending, and came back again in the fifth game. There was no rebuilding.

Erm, doesn't Omega have his biometal too? Model O? Or Model OX when he combines with the main protagonist. I saw it in-game.

Technically, Rao was dead the whole time, but was still a major character. But it was Ninetails, so I guess it dun caunt.

In MegaMan ZX you can fight Omega, but to obtain his Biometal you have to fight the bosses from MegaMan Zero 3 or 4 by inserting the game into the GBA slot of the DS. I think you have to fight Omega before fighting the bosses, but anyways, he dies, yeah.

Simon Belmont

Father Bella's real last name is Belger... the end boss from Final Fight 1 who gets uppercutted through a window, curtesy of Cody. Because of Belger's death...
-Cody landed in jail, twice.
-Metro City was almost taken over by drug-addicted thugs
-Guy becomes some sort of ninja yakuza boss
-Haggar loses his two best friends in ass-kicking.

I thought That was supposed to represent his spirit lives on.

No, he saves Rockman and drops him off at Light's Lab. There is no sign of his death at all; in fact, if you recall, Blues continually evades Light's Lab, for reasons he explains in The Power Fighters.

Wow.

Wow, wow, wow.

I'm amazed. The fact that Xero said 'came back again in the 5th game', completely ignoring his role in the 4th, is quite... amazing. He was in Mega Man 4 too. He was the one who rescued Kalinka, remember? And it was the first time he was called protoman, I believe.

But as always, Mega Man 4 comes out as being invisible to everyone. How sad.

But Megaman 4 was awesome....

Oh, and no, he was called Protoman as well in MM3. "Oh, it must be your brother, Protoman..." said Light at the end of MM3. And he was Number 00 in the credits, also under the name Protoman.

Example: FFVII's Aeris Gainsborough

Example: DL-6 and Mia Fey in the Ace Attorney series.

Like it or not, reploids/androids/robots are not "human", but since they're quite mobile, they're acceptable.

MMX/Z's Zero has been torn apart, blown to bits, and brought to the brink of death many times. However, it is safe to say that he was finally silenced during the Ragnarok Crisis in MMZ4. Therefore, he is allowed.

Actually, Zero's still alive, as a Live Biometal called Model Z. Who can talk. Same with X being Model X. So, yet again, they're both still half-live in a way... but at least all they can do is fuse with Aile or Vent and make them become a version of X (or both).

Simon Belmont dies at the end of Castlevania 2, not Castlevania. The ending (actually, three of them) in the original Japanese version of CV2 state that Simon kicks the bucket. The "best" ending has an obvious sequel hook (Dracula's hand rising out of the grave) that implied a direct sequel that wasn't realized until Harmony of Dissonance over a decade later. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, Konami.

While there have been many Belmonts throughout the series, only three of them have stood out among the others:
-Leon Belmont, the first in the clan to take arms against the forces of darkness.
-Simon Belmont, the first playable Belmont (seriously!)
-Lastly, Richter Belmont, the last Belmont to wield Vampire Killer before the clan's much deserved break from slaying Dracula. Oh, and he's the Whip's Memory.

I would love to include Sonia Belmont into the list (the only female Belmont recorded to have fought against Dracula's forces), but the current canon discounts her existence, which kinda sucks. Oh, well. Maybe IGA will change his mind someday.
