Rasputinian Death - TV Tropes. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered. Just before his head died, his last words were 'Death is but a door. Eventually, one of them is.
Related to a Self- Destructive Charge and to There Is No Kill Like Overkill (in this case, there is no kill except overkill). Might be done because someone wants to Make Sure He's Dead. Sometimes the person actually does want to die, but screws it up, so it becomes a Bungled Suicide.
The Death of Rasputin Legend says that Grigori Rasputin, the "Mad Monk", was hard to kill; but the truth about his life is the real story.
Related to (though not to be confused with) Why Won't You Die? Ironically, Rasputin's Real Life death wasn't at all Rasputinian; the 1. Cold War and reviewed by American and Russian doctors in 2. Rasputin was shot twice in the back, with a final bullet to the head with a . Webley which killed him instantly. He was probably also poisoned, as this detail dates back to the earliest tales of his death.

However according to Yusupov's own testimony, the poison was mixed in with brandy and desserts that probably neutralized the poison entirely with their high sugar content. However, his killers wanted to portray him as a near- indestructible son of Satan, so they made up an elaborate story about how he survived poison, beating, and bullet wounds only to drown in the Neva. Later embellishments by Yusupov (he thought up a new one every time he was short on money) even had Rasputin dying of hypothermia, having attempted to claw through the ice that covered him, and to top it off, when they cremated him, his body was trying to get up again as it burned. It should be noted that the use of a . Webley pistol suggests it may have been a British intelligence agent, so even the real version is pretty cool. Even with the legend having been debunked, it remains much more popular than the truth because the true story of Rasputin's death is boring, whereas the fake story is much cooler. His death is also disputed, as without Rasputin, who would be.
Alan Moore? Finally, the myth of Rasputin's death fulfills all five of the possible reasons listed above. His severed, iced head then complains for several minutes. Reinforce had to delete herself together with its regeneration program to keep it dead. The second time, what's left of his AS falls into the ocean (Where he is attacked by sharks), but in spite of that and a case of terminal cancer he turns back up again in The Second Raid, now quadriplegic but still alive.
Gregori Rasputin, the legendary mystic and influential advisor to Czar Nicholas II of Russia in the early 1900s, was famous for many things: his magnetic sway over.
Rasputin, mystic and advisor to the Romanov family in Russia, was distrusted and seemingly immuned to death. How did Rasputin finally die? The murder of Grigori Rasputin. Alexis, had haemophilia and so suffered from episodes of severe bleeding, threatening an early death. Adam Hall is raising funds for The Death of Rasputin on Kickstarter! A 3 part web miniseries about the assassination of real life figure, Grigori Rasputin.
He apparently finally dies for real after Sousuke unloads a gun into him and the entire building he's in blows up, but considering his history, some fans still have doubts. He hasn't shown up again, either in the original series or the sequel, so odds are Gauron really is dead this time. Their Philosopher's Stone powers enable them to survive being killed repeatedly. Which, of course, set up Roy Mustang's Moment of Awesome line, . He has now finally died of blood loss, but had enough time to give a dying speech first. And Riza shot him about a dozen times, too.
After Roy burninated him back to Fetus! Envy, he gets lectured by Ed and finally rips what's left of his Stone out, committing suicide.
Which he had done several times already before it took. Notably this happened in the anime's Gecko Ending long before Mustang fought Lust (and killed her in the same manner) in the manga. Number of things he survives over the course of one night (most in rapid succession) before Firo finally . Okay, so he's immortal, but props anyway for taking everything up until the fire in stride. And nothing of that would have happened had Whitebeard not been stabbed by one of his children the moment he decided he'd get in the fight. He was truly Defiant to the End, telling the entire world that One Piece did exist (pretty much giving the finger to the World Government before he fell).
And on top of that, his Bad Ass Longcoat falls off immediately after, revealing that despite having hundreds of scars and wounds from knives, swords, and bullets, his back didn't have so much as onenote Minus one that was the result of a sword coming from the front THROUGH his back; having never been wounded there in his entire life, because he never retreated from an enemy, not even. One. Honestly, given the man he was, he would have wanted it this way. In his younger, healthier days, all of those insane wounds combined still wouldn't have taken him down. Having accomplished his goals he died apparently because he didn't have anything else to be badass at doing. This doesn't even kill all of him, as he is still alive and trying to take over Kabuto.
Now he's back to more- or- less human form again, as Sasuke revived him. The guy just won't stay dead. And then Kakashi had to kill him againjust to make sure. Jiraiya gets an arm taken off by a surprise attack, is stabbed in the shoulder of his remaining arm, then gets his throat crushed and get stabbed by a half- dozen metallic bars, and dies.. Then she gets sealed in her son, where she lies dormant for several years.
First, back before the story- line even began, he had half his body crushed by a boulder. He got better, albeit with some help.
Decades later, in a period of a few days, he lost an arm, lost an arm (the same one that he had since replaced) again while being blown up by 6. Later got stabbed through the heart on purpose, was mind- raped by an ancient quasi- deity, half- disintegrated himself, was cut nearly in half, had the nine Tailed Beasts torn out of him, was body jacked, was forced to perform a suicide- resurrection technique, had the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path also ripped out of him, stressed himself to the point of chakra exhaustion multiple times, got killed by a bone- spear that literally rotted him to ash, flipped off the afterlife with his eyes to return and empower his old friend Kakashi, before finally deciding he'd done enough and letting himself pass on. And that was just his back story.
In the final battle against him, he defeats Aoshi, Sanosuke and Saito, and almost kills Kenshin, though Kenshin recovers and continues to fight. In the end, Kenshin doesn't even defeat him. Technically, Shishio defeats himself by fighting for too long, overheating due to his sweat glands being destroyed when he was burned, and then finally bursting into flames. And then it turns out he's still alive. He then gets stabbed with his own broken sword, and then gets struck by lightning, by Kariya no less. He drags himself out only after everyone else leaves, with his good arm paralyzed. When he next appears he's gotten into much better shape, and eventually gets into a fight with fellow Implacable Man Inspector Runge, where he's shot in the gut but still manages to get the better of the Inspector.
Runge turns the tables by jamming his thumb into Roberto's bullet wound, causing him to pass out, but only briefly as he manages to stagger to where the final confrontation between Tenma and Johan is taking place before dying. Since then, he was cut in half, impaled by a squirrel, and jumped out of a plane (losing only his bionic legs) before somehow finally dying at the Battle of Stalingrad. This symbolizes he doesn't go to Heaven nor Hell, just nothingness after death. He gets stabbed in the shoulder, shot in the chest and thrown out of a stained glass window, yet he survives. He does take a long time to recover, though. He has his arm and lower half of his body torn off and most of his organs are damaged beyond repair before simply coming apart in the wind. First, he's impaled by Fuuma through the stomach with the Shinken, but that doesn't kill him.
Then, he has his right arm blown off but that still doesn't kill him and he can even speak to his soon- to- be killer. Then, he's telekinetically tossed against the Super Computer known as The Beast, which causes him to be subjected to massive. Electric Tortureand also causes Beast's owner, Satsuki, to be electrocuted to death. He's got an Incurable Cough of Death and supernatural parasitic eyes eating him alive before we even get into the fight that actually puts him down.
In the final battle in question, he exhausts measures that have been keeping his death at bay for decades, which leaves him bleeding everywhere and barely mobile, not to mention the blood he's now coughing up. He then somehow comes up with the strength to form a barrier to protect Fubuki and several others before attempting to take Kyo with him in a massive explosion. This still does not kill him, and he manages to drag his disintegrating body across a battlefield, rip out his own heart, and implant it into Fubuki's chest to save him because Fubuki's Dangerous Forbidden Technique has destroyed his own. Then, and only then, does Hishigi collapse into Fubuki's arms, apologize for leaving him alone, and dissolve into dust that floats away on the wind.
The rules are that it takes one double- check to immobilize it, and another to kill (checkmate) it. And even then his ghost comes back a few time to plot revenge against H. B. Even right before his death, he survives a close- range grenade with what appears to be minor burns. He eventually dies when Dwight and the Old Town girls unload on him and his minions to the point where they are nothing but . He also does all of this without eating, drinking, or getting any sleep for literally days. It finally takes the electric chair itself to kill him, and even then they have to shock him twice.
He was probably going to die from the stabbing alone but John Hartigan reallydidn't like the guy. The Punisher MAX. After trading punches (and shivs) with him, Frank tosses him out of a window, where he lands several stories down onto a spiked wrought iron fence, impaling him through the torso. Frank then jumps from the window and lands on the thug. Later, the thug (fence still jutting through him), stumbles towards Frank; who blasts him in the face with a shotgun.
Even then, Frank has to mentally reassure himself that the next steps the guy takes are just reflexive.
