Random Anime Sacrifices That Were Done In Vain (16 items)

  (#4) Yusuke Urameshi

  • Yu Yu Hakusho

  Delinquent 14-year-old Yusuke Urameshi dies in an unprecedented act of bravery. For the vast majority of his life, he's acted like a selfish punk, yet he dives in front of an oncoming car to save a small child.

  Unfortunately, it turns out the kid would have been fine without Yusuke's help. He was chasing a ball into the street, and the inflated rubber would have absorbed most of the car's impact. 

  In the afterlife, Botan actually chastises Yusuke for acting selflessly, as the kid sustained additional injuries from the soon-to-be Spirit Detective's intervention.

  (#6) The Tsumegeri Guards Take A Fatal Power-Up In 'One Piece'

  Hero Water is the perfect ingredient for anyone looking to become a human sacrifice. This dangerous substance gives users superhuman strength, but also kills them within five minutes of consumption.

  While this sounds like a terrible trade-off, the Tsumegeri Guards seem to disagree, as they happily drink Hero Water in an attempt to take down the all-powerful Crocodile.

  Their plan might have worked if Crocodile was actually willing to take them on, but instead, he simply avoids their attacks. After five minutes passed, all the guards drop dead, and Crocodile continues on his merry way.

  (#5) The Survey Corps Are Designed To Fail In 'Attack On Titan'

  The Survey Corps is built around unnecessary sacrifice. The group's main goal is to kill as many Titans as possible, and every operation they embark on results in a massive human casualties.

  To make matters worse, most of these suicide missions do nothing to actually advance the group's cause. Until the source of the Titans is discovered, killing individuals is meaningless, since new ones are constantly appearing.

  These deadly excursions occasionally yield some useful information about the Titans, but this is a rarity, especially at the start of the series.

  (#1) Deidara

  While in the heat of battle, it's usually a bad idea to base decisions on pride, and Deidara learns this the hard way when he squares off against Sasuke Uchiha.

  While Deidara thinks of his explosive attacks as an art form, Sasuke doesn't feel the same way. To prove the hero wrong, Deidara unleashes his most powerful attack, which turns his body into a massive bomb. He dies when it detonates, but he hopes to take Sasuke out with him.

  Even though Sasuke is exhausted, he still manages to survive the blast by summoning the giant snake Manda to serve as a shield. After this, Sasuke teleports to safety, making Deidara's final sacrifice utterly fruitless.

  (#7) Kazuma Saves A Girl From A Slow-Moving Tractor In 'KonoSuba'

  This sacrifice takes the cake for being the most humiliating and pointless death ever. While walking outside, Kazuma mistakenly thinks a truck is going to run over a girl on the street. But in the next scene, it is revealed that the girl was never in danger since the "truck" was actually a slow-moving tractor that was going to stop anyway. Instead of dying because he heroically pushed a girl out of harm's way, Kazuma died out of pure shock and fear. Apparently, he even wet his pants. Poor Kazuma.

  (#2) Denzel Liones Summons A Goddess Who Doesn't Help Him In 'The Seven Deadly Sins'

  Desperate to defeat the demons of the Ten Commandments, Denzel Liones sacrifices all his life energy to summon a goddess named Nerobasta, who he hopes will carry on the fight in his place.

  Unfortunately, Nerobasta doesn't care about humans, and immediately tries to bail when confronted with demons. The creatures quickly kill Nerobasta, making Denzel's final sacrifice amount to nothing.
