20 Video Game Villains That SHOULDN'T Have Died

17. M. Bison - Street Fighter V

Street Fighter's M. Bison has had more deaths than most people have had hot dinners - well, almost.

His most recent demise occurred in Street Fighter V at the hands of Ryu, but by this point in the series Bison dying was so utterly par for the course - like it was Tuesday, even - that it roused not a single flicker of emotion from fans.

There are only so many times you can kill and resurrect a character, even one as beloved as Bison, before it loses all impact, and so his demise here was largely met with an unbothered shoulder shrug.

And this reached peak hilarity when Bison came back from the dead once again in Street Fighter 6 through more supernatural hooey, re-emerging as an amnesiac clone, because of course he did.

Now sure, you really shouldn't take Street Fighter's story all that seriously, but killing Bison is a such a redundant non-event at this point that going through the whole song-and-dance of it is actually low-key annoying.
