Anime People

Deceased parents, like battle mechs&nbsp;and nosebleeds, remain a common plot device&nbsp;in many anime series. Some parents die in spectacularly dramatic ways, like dying in blasts,&nbsp;being eaten alive, or even being <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-twisted-anime-characters/jonah-dorrance">murdered by their own children</a>. Others pass in more everyday ways, like illness, car crashes, or&nbsp;childbirth.

Despite the frequency with which the trope appears, it serves&nbsp;as a catalyst for&nbsp;compelling&nbsp;character development on the part of their sad orphaned children, and can help <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-with-dark-endings/anna-lindwasser">darken the mood of a particular series</a>.&nbsp;Vote up the characters whose loss affected you the most, and left you wishing you were watching something happier, like Digimon.

25+ Anime Characters Whose Parents Died Super Tragically

Anna Lindwasser

Unlike in the real world, death isn&#39;t always final in the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-world-to-live-in/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">world of anime</a>. Just because your favorite character bit the dust doesn&#39;t mean you&#39;ll have to mourn them forever... and on the flip side, just because that character you hate is gone doesn&#39;t mean you won&#39;t see them again.

Anime characters who came back from the dead tend to appear in fantasy-themed anime - you&#39;ll find them in shows like&nbsp;Inuyasha&nbsp;and&nbsp;One Piece,&nbsp;but you&#39;re not going to find them in realistic, slice-of-life shows. Sometimes, as in Konosuba and Saga of Tanya the Evil, the character is reborn in a completely different world with new responsibilities, while on the other end of that spectrum, they simply carry on as normal.

Some argue that revivals cheapen the impact of a character&#39;s demise, while others feel that it adds intrigue and excitement to a series. Depending on the quality of the series, either one is possible.
