  (#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.

  (#13) Hachiman Hikigaya Acts Like A Martyr In 'My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU'

  The main theme of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is unnecessary sacrifice. Hachiman Hikigaya manipulates social situations so other people think of him as the bad guy. No one asks him to do this, he just thinks it's the right thing to do. 

  According to Hikigaya's logic, if everyone rallies against him, their unity will be worth his personal unhappiness. So long as his peers are happy, he's willing to become a social pariah.

  Thanks to his low self-esteem, Hikigaya doesn't realize other people genuinely care about him, and feel sad when he hurts himself. Because of this, his efforts backfire whenever he tries to sacrifice himself.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#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.
