There's no escape in sight. Before a character dies, they fire off a line essentially saying "I'm going to die, but our fight goes on," or otherwise demonstrating their continued defiance toward and disdain for their killers. Can be the last line of an entire series if it's a Bolivian Army Ending. The Doomed Moral Victor is... fond of this trope. A specific take is Regret Eating Me. Very very often a Crowning Moment of Awesome. Some do manage to live, but there's significant overlap with Famous Last Words. A subtrope of Gallows Humor. See Face Death with Dignity, Defiant to the End.
