Here is another one from DragonBall Z. Tonight's motivation centers around Android 16.
During the fight with Cell, Android 16 is doing a good job keeping Cell from absorbing the last androids to become perfect. Unfortunately Cell absorbs one of the Androids and gets a major power increase. Using a massive energy blast, Cell destroys 16's main body leaving only the head intact.
After a long chain of events, you see Gohan fighting perfect Cell. Even though Gohan should have the strength to hold his own in the fight, Cell is just using Gohan as a punching bag. With the situation as dire as it is, Android 16 takes a few moments to talk to Gohan.
The scene is shown here.
Android 16 tells Gohan to just let it go. Put everything into it and don't worry about the outcome. If Gohan lost, everyone would be killed by Cell anyway. This was the only thing Android 16 could do. With no arms or legs left to fight, the last thing he could do was convince Gohan to stop holding back and stop doubting himself. Gohan was afraid of failing. And the stakes of failing this challenge would be the death of everyone. And Gohan would be responsible for all of it.
Cell then walks over to Android 16 and stomps on him crushing his CPU and killing him. To make things even worse, Cell taunts Gohan saying that the death of Android 16 was Gohan's fault. It was another life Gohan could have saved if he wasn't such a coward.
Unlike most of the DragonBall characters, Android 16 doesn't come back. I don't think he is ever mentioned again. Sometimes, you don't get that second chance.
Make every decision and action count.
