Discussion Best Heroic Sacrifices in Fiction

ehh looks like my sarcasm was not clear enough..... also liked this one from Grandmist http://imgur.com/v4T3xPh

No man not only because of Will, the movie was so bad, even using cliches from ther own first movie, i deleted all memories from it once it was over.....

 

Sorry I didn't get your sarcasm, I just think you're like my little brother that didn't know (or care) about latest movie at all XD

 

I said I wasn't spoiling anything lol. You'll see when it happens.

 

When the girl in hunger Games sacrificed herself for her lil sister...I guess...

 

FILWTV comes pretty close.

Spoiler

Vincent sacrifices himself for his morals

This made him such a good character.

TBH most of the heroic sacrifices in novels now seem really fake

 

That was the player character. At that time you are the only remaining member of the team. But a few others in this game also sacrifice themselves

 

Problem Sleuth. He sacrifices his most precious treasure in the world for the greater good right at the end. The candy will not be forgotten.

 

Maes Hughes Fullmetal Alchemist. Died while trying to uncover shady business

 

best heroic sacrifice in non-fiction goes to me when i gave that bitch the last dab

 

One of the main cast in a movie called The Dirty Dozen.
A bunch of criminals* during World War II are offered a deal. If they can pull off one really difficult mission, their sentences will disappear.
(*soldiers who were convicted of crimes outside of civilian courts)

They train for a long time, and then start their mission. The one that this thread makes me think of, is the guy whose job it was to climb up on the roof and take out the radio tower with a grenade so the enemy they were attacking couldn't call for help/backup.
His foot went through a weak spot in the roof, and he couldn't remove it. So he threw the grenade anyway, even though he knew it would blow him up too.
I guess it sticks with me because all these characters weren't depicted as heroic or people with strong morals (it was the opposite) and their whole purpose of doing the mission was to save themselves from harsh sentences, but in the end at least one of them, his actions were self-sacrificing.

Tomodaaa!
(lol, I love that part of the manga, and it was the first time I saw that scene animated, still as funny as I remember )

------------
Another one I remember, is one of the Elders in The Breakers: New Waves.

 

apparently no one here has played persona 3

 

I scrolled through the whole thread looking for this. I still can't get over it! D:

 

Ace sacrificing himself to protect Luffy.

 

Greed from FMAB.
and definitely Snape...
I have a soft corner for unsung heroes.

 

Piccolo sacrificing himself for Gohan was pretty amazing.

 

someone here KNOWS Nathaniel... that part still haunts me as Bartimaeus and kitty talk about how he lied in their respective POV chapters... oh the feel..
To lose the titular character.
One of the best low fantasy I read. Thank you for reminding me this old old read... ( more than a decade)

 

Suisei no Gargantia


Chamber best mecha ever

 

when she SAW her little sister die.. the heart wrecking feel. to lose the one you love the most.. as if your strings have been cut....

 

Asura from Asura's Wrath

 

But the guy that got Ntr'd in it tho...poor guy...he's the real hero. All our heart's goes out to him
