What're some games where the initial protagonist dies in the first few hours and stays dead?

>What're some games where the initial protagonist dies in the first few hours and stays dead?
if he dies in the first hours, then he wasnt the "protagonist" but rather a catalyst for the events of the story, maybe a prologue if his story is separated from the story of the protagonist by location, or time.
ZHP Unlosing Ranger
but this isn't a videogames thread anyway
Danganronpa v3
If you ease up on the first few hours requirement, Genealogy of the Holy War does this. So does Chrono Trigger sort of.
FFXII
Fate/EXTRA
What are some shitty off topic threads made by a rebellious 13 year old retard?
The guy that dies there isn't the protagonist.
Which is a shame, because he probably would've been a better protagonist than the one we got.
PROTOTYPE
Nier Automata.
Ghost Trick
I don't think you understand what "stays dead" means.
Yuyu Hakusho
Why was he so based?
Because he fought with all his might to protect what he loved the most. Us
If he dies and stays dead then he wasn't that much of a protagonist anyway.
Rattman is long dead by the time the Portal games starts and you don't actually get to see him in-game but he's the reason the games happen in the first place.
Also I remember some memes about a call of duty or medal of honor game where the player character gets betrayed and killed at the beggining of the campaign.
Shuumatsu would make a good fighting game.
He fought the noble fight.
My prediction is that it's gonna go like this afterwards
>Nips fight whoever
>Qin Shi Huang fights Susanoo
>Apollo jobs to Simo
>Buddha fights Rasputin
>Nostradamus fights Beelzebub
>Final fight is Loki vs Tesla who's actually Nyarlathotep disguised as Tesla who masterminded everything to make way for the Elder Gods
Who'd you main?
Based Jack
Look at this roster. Perfect size, plenty of variety, easy to split into even halves to give the CSS some quality aesthetic. Character design is on point as well. Too bad it'll be 3-5 years before we see enough of these guys fight for a game to be made.
Of who we've seen, probably Zeus. Hits like a truck, extremely potent install that ups his attack speed. I usually main grapplers though so probably Tameemon.
Final boss is 100% Odin. He hates the valkyries and humanity and has been portrayed as stoic but increasingly agitated by their efforts in the tournament. A prevailing theory I've seen is that humanity will be up 6-5 and Brunhilde will volund with her personally chosen fighter to end it, but will lose and die, leading Geir to fight for her life and humanity's continued existence against Odin.
>even religious distribution
>half the humans are asian
>heracles and buddha on the god team
>what could nostradamus even do in a fight
>>even religious distribution
Greek/Norse pantheons combined make up more of the gods than China/Japan combined make up of Humanity. I think Souji is one Jap too far though, especially when Kojiro was already a Japanese swordsman. I feel like he's only there to have a more even swordfight with one of the Japanese gods.
>Heracles & Buddha
The former was originally human but became divine, but loves humanity more than gods and said that he would vouch for humanity despite being chosen to represent the gods. Buddha's enlightenment counts for him I guess.
>Nostradamus
It's good to have a wildcard. At least Rasputin has mysticism and inhuman durability going for him, Nostradamus could be fucking anything.
I dont really get why hercules fought for the gods given his motivations. I get even less why anyone would root for him. I mean fuck even if I hated Jack and Hercules and me went way back personally its kindda hard to root for a guy representing a race of beings who want my race destroyed.
So this Is the feeling of being loved, i like it.
I figured that the teams were drafted by their leaders (Zeus & Brunhilde), rather than volunteered. Zeus brought Herc into the pantheon and knows how strong he is, so he chose him. Unless there's a line that implies Herc volunteered.
>>what could nostradamus even do in a fight
jack the ripper was just some creepy dude who stabbed prostitutes and he almost won against Hercules
I mean a real hero would forfeit I think. Im getting that pride may stop this but what could more heroic then to stoop to the lowest level and make everyone hate you to save someone. Or in Hercs case billions with the potential for trillions of someones.
The roster is trash because humanity side is full of nipwank whos
Phantasy Star 4.
Part of me wants to bet Loki will be the final opponent. He's lookin' crafty as fuck and even in myth he's planned out ragnarok.
Call of Duty 4
I think having a charecter thats nomrally seen in a comic tone be the final fight might be a bit weird. Especially since that means he would be after Odin. Another possibility I could think of is one of the fights ends in a tie due to both dieing at the same time.Then the mangaka could have an excuse for an extra fight and the final fight could be total wild cards. But thats just wild speculation unless we get a tie in which case thats for sure happenin.
I was going to say that I'm not sure if forfeit was an option but I recall Herc asking Jack to give up at the start so maybe it was a pride thing. By the end though he was more interested in saving Jack than anything, since he must've figured he was going to eat it with all the Labors and the severed arm and all.
>Gods and Humanity tie 6-6
>Instead of having a match to decide who wins it just turns into a full war between mankind and the Gods, with traitors on both sides
An extra fight would mean one of the valkyries would need to pull double duty, but I could see it. The publisher asked for fights to take up a few more chapters after Zeus vs Adam gave the manga a lot of attention so slapping a 14th fight in there to maximize volume sales could be in the cards.
>ANUBIS GOD OF DEATH VS RASPUTIN THE MAN WHO WONT DIE
MAKE IT HAPPEN
>Anubis vs Rasputin
>not Rasputin, the man who glorified Sin vs Buddha, the God who glorified Purity
>Apollo, God of Archery vs Simo "White Death" Hayha, the greatest sniper to ever live
The kino levels this manga has yet to even reach is insane given where it's been already.
I mean even if forfeiting directly was against the rules its not like he couldnt throw the fight. I honestly cant think of a greater virtue anyone can commit then to do good knowing no one will ever know you did it.
post yfw okita dies of tuberculosis before his match starts and he gets replaced by MUTHAFUCKIN SIEGFRIED
>its not like he couldnt throw the fight
He kinda does.
>Tfw no quetzalcoatl
FUCKING MISSED OPPORTUNITY
FF12
>Quetzalcoatl
>Not Huitzilopochtli, the literal fucking war god who annihilated all 400 of his divine siblings right when he was fucking born
I figure he'll get his chance in flashbacks that detail why Odin & Brunhilde hate each other so much.
Why they didn't include him? at least as a background character
>implying that he isn't the real final boss that has to be beaten with Geir assisting Longinus
Post the best faces
>Humanity's team doesn't have Huemac
He'd fuck his opponent to death and then jump into the crowd in search of Four-Hand-Span wide assed women to marry.
because monotheism is boring as fuck from a mythological standpoint and everyone knows it
Where is this chapter I cant find it
The real question is, where's the REAL evillest man in history?
Biblical lore has enough cool characters if you ignore God/the Trinity. Adam & Beelzebub as fighters, plus that flashback to Eden and the original sin, is a solid representation.
fuck, now i want to see that
>Old Testament God
>monotheistic
He's just an egotist god, him saying "no other gods before me" literally implies there's other gods active and giving help to their believers.
Fuck I hope it's Maitreya Buddha so that niggas can catch these 5.67billion hands.
Feng Shen Ji
:-)
Bibble has a lotta cool fighters though
>Samson, the literal unstoppable man who can only be beaten if his hair is cut
>Nimrod, the greatest hunter to ever live who's also a nephilim, meaning he's an uber motherfucker on top of that
>Noah, the master of every animal to ever live (if you wanted you could somehow fucking make him like Ultimate Kars from Jojo)
>Moses, the man who split an entire sea in two
>Jacob, the man WHO NEARLY BEAT FUCKING GOD HIMSELF
>every god so far has been "unga bunga me smash"
>every human that's done the same so far has died
hmmm
from the beginning i knew the author did not have the balls to put hitler.
what would be his volund?
Yeah in the old testament Yahweh viewed other deities as lesser beings and his followers deemed them demons. Beelzebub is interesting in this cause it could be based on the God Baal that beelzebub actually is.
The Holy Lance
Truly a great read.
Part of me hopes they go all out and just make Beelzebub a big fucking fly.
Angels by themselves by description alone are interdimensional horrors. Protestants made the bible seem boring but there's plenty of crazy of shit in Abrahamic religions.
I like how each fight so far has its own message
>Lu Bu vs Thor
Brute strength is not enough to defeat the gods
>Zeus vs Adam
Gimmicks and hax powers are not enough either
>Poseidon vs Sasaki
With enough skill a human can overpower a god. The gods' cockiness will be their downfall.
>Heracles vs Jack
Humans aren't innocent and are worse than gods in some ways
>Zeus vs Adam
As much as I enjoy the manga this was definitely it's peak.
Was jack an incel?
I'm willing to bet the very next fight will establish that the Gods can be expert in manipulating as well.
