Corpse Party/Awesome

• At the beginning of Chapter 2, a ghost offers to spare Yui-sensei's life if she agrees to sacrifice her students. She instead pleads for her students' lives and demands that he stay the hell away from them when he threatens to kill them. Bear in mind, at this moment, Yui is trapped under a cabinet filled with knives and other sharp objects. Does this kill her? Nope. She manages to get it off of her. Her actual death involves finding Ayumi in a room that is falling apart. She can barely move her arm and doesn't even want to think about what her back must look like. She still holds onto the ledge (with both arms, no less) until Ayumi has climbed to safety, then demands that she and Yoshiki hurry out of the room instead of try to help her. The woman is a damn fine teacher.
• In Chapter 5, Satoshi, Yoshiki, Ayumi, and Yuka successfully appease Sachiko's spirit.
• Also in Chapter 5, Ayumi, upon discovering that Naho deliberately put faulty instructions for the Sachiko charm on her blog, calls her out. Naho reacts coldly... until Ayumi reveals that Naho killed her beloved mentor after succumbing to The Darkening. This causes Naho to have a breakdown, making her spirit vanish and give Ayumi the item Satoshi needs to progress.
• The game itself got a meta example. Despite coming out within the last week of November in the US, managed to top November's PSN downloads.
• In the final chapter of Book of Shadows, Hinoe gets one when she interrupts another ritual Gone Horribly Wrong and saves Ayumi and Naomi from a horrible death. Sadly, this crosses into Heroic Sacrifice as well, as she gets her head blown off in the same way she saved her sister from.
• In Chapter 5 Kurosaki, near death from being stabbed and kicked through a hole in the floor, saves Yuka by not only taunting Kizami, but punches him enough to hurt him too. He does this just to make Kizami kill him instead so Yuka can recover and escape. Dude's a damn hero.
• Satoshi becomes WALKING AWESOME during the course the game. He is called out as a Lovable Coward at the beginning of the game by everyone, since he's kind of a scaredy cat when the Sachiko ritual is being performed, but when shit hits the fan, it is him and him alone who never loses hope and does everything in his power to save and inspire his friends. His inner monologue reveals that he's SCARED OUT OF HIS WITS, but his desire to save his friends and sister overpower his fear.
