How many times can you name when a character in the anime almost died?

[John Understands]

Here is some I can name:

EP016? When St. Anne sunk. And yeah.

EP022 - Umm...EVEN though Ash got his spirit back, and Pikachu, that chandlier still fell at them. So they nearly died.

M08 - Aura? Yes, Ash did make a sacrafice, I think, until Lucario came.

Any more?

DP117 "Rocket-dan breaks up?!", Musashi and Kojiro nearly die by Metagross before Nyarth saves them.

 

[Bandit Keith]

M01, when hit by Mewtwo and Mew's attacks
BW044, when Da Crew and Mischa fall into the quicksand
BW007, when Ash falls into the wetlands while pursuing Snivy
M09, when Ash nearly drowns fixing the Sea Crown
M12, when, prior to Dialga sending Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Sheena to the past, where Arceus murdered Damos and Marcus and their Pokémon, then again when Marcus nearly died falling down into the pit. Also when Arceus nearly died stopping the meteor.

Misty almost drowned in her first special, she was knocked out underwater next to the cage Gyarados was in during a whirlpool.

 

[Owain]

Misty almost drowned in her first special, she was knocked out underwater next to the cage Gyarados was in during a whirlpool.

And she was also shot by Poison Stings from those three's tentacruels, though i'm not sure if this was from the same special.

 

[Froakie]

M03 when Ash nearly fell out of the big crystal palace thing, and all his friends including Team Rocket had to pull him up.

 

[Muddy:3]

Misty almost drowned in her first special D:!!

 

[Hitomi]

There's the possibility that Hunter J did die in the airship crash in The Needs of the Three.

Speaking of J, that time she ejected Ash and Pikachu from her airship in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 2. They would have fallen to their deaths if Kellyn hadn't caught them.

 

[ArceusAlpha493]

In Movie 11, Giratina almost died. He was pretty much close to death since he was not breathing for a while until he started breathing again(I thought for a moment, someone would have to give him a CPR or mouth to mouth Rescuscation)

In Movie 12, Arceus almost died twice, once after stopping a meteor, and when he was being drowned in Silver Water while being electrocuted,

 

[Cybersai]

What about virtually every time a wild Pokemon shoots Hyperbeam at the main cast?

What about virtually every time a wild Pokemon shoots Hyperbeam at the main cast?

Nope.avi! I mean like falling off a building or airplane crash into Lake Valor. Anything but HYPERBEAM TO MAIN CAST.

 

[Stooba]

Almost every movie, actually. Like...
in movie 8 Ash gets eaten by the red blobs and Lucario dies at the end of the movie. Oh, that's not almost...
