  (#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.

  (#8) Apocalymon Fails To End The World In 'Digimon Adventure'

  The final conflict of Digimon Adventure is resolved after the main villain makes an utterly pointless sacrifice. Apocalymon, the final boss of the series, decides to take out both the Real World and the Digital World with an explosive attack called Total Annihilation.

  The explosion is largely contained by the children's Digivices, and so Apocalymon only succeeds in killing himself.

  (#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.

  (#9) Nuriko Used Up All His Strength To Move A Boulder In 'Fushigi Yuugi'

  Nuriko's death is one of the most painful moments of Fushigi Yuugi, in part because it feels totally avoidable. Nuriko is severely injured during a battle with Ashitare, a member of the Seiryuu seven, but manages to take the villain down. 

  Rather than waiting for Mitsukake to come heal his injuries, Nuriko uses his remaining strength to move a boulder and unblock the cave he's in. He's already out of danger, but decides pushing this rock is more important than his survival. 

  His death might have been a noble sacrifice if the boulder had been fully blocking his comrades' path, but it wasn't. They could easily have walked around the boulder, but Nuriko was perhaps in too much pain to realize this. He tried his best, but ultimately his sacrifice was completely uncalled for.

  (#12) Vanessa Rene Dies Protecting An Invulnerable Woman In 'Madlax'

  If you're going to sacrifice your life for someone, you should first make sure they can actually feel pain. When a talented sniper takes aim at Madlax, Vanessa, the hero's lover, dives in front of the bullet without a second thought.

  Vanessa dies from the resulting injuries, which is a shame, as Madlax would have been totally fine. 

  Thanks to her recently awakened supernatural abilities, Madlax is basically invulnerable, so there's no reason she couldn't have taken a bullet. Vanessa's sacrifice only causes her partner emotional pain.
