Best Served Cold	comment	A long time ago, a certain character suffered malicious harm at the hands of another. Maybe this foe of theirs killed their parents, cheated them out of their inheritance, or framed them for a crime and got them unjustly locked up. The aggrieved character swore undying revenge on the one who did it. However, they couldn't get revenge at the time for one reason or another: maybe the perpetrator was too powerful, while the victim was too young and weak to stand up to them. Maybe the victim didn't even know who the perpetrator was except for some cryptic clue. But they didn't give up on the idea of vengeance, oh no! They just decided to take their time about it. Years later, they spend their time Walking the Earth, getting ready for that fight, somehow. Maybe they're fighting to become strong enough to best the villain, or battling evil in the hope they'll meet the villain (or someone suitable for getting revenge on the villain with). They may be doing this to help others, saving them from their fate, or if the enemy is a monster, they'll hunt those down with a passion. But what they really want is to find the one who messed up their life, bring them to bloody justice and, through that sort out their problems. Pity the poor hero whose target declares that for them, it was Tuesday. Or who bides their time only to find that someone else has beaten them to it along the way or that they died some other way. Named for the French (or Sicilian, or Klingon, or drow, depending on who you ask) proverb, "Revenge is a dish best served cold." At least in the case of drow, it also means one can have well-planned revenge and drive them mad with fear as a bonus. Contrast Restrained Revenge, where the wronged party only takes a lesser, symbolic, revenge. Very rarely involves Revenge Is a Dish Best Served, though they are occasionally combined to complete the phrase. As this trope can be integral to certain plots of fictional works and is fully realized at their resolutions, be warned that there will be spoilers. Read at your own risk! For the 2009 novel by Joe Abercrombie, see Best Served Cold. Examples

Some of those he offended were immortals themselves and they spent a long time finding a way to get back at him. Gunnar is a werewolf who waited over 300 years to get his revenge. Leif became a vampire specifically so he would have the time needed to get his revenge. It took him over 1000 years to put together a group of immortals that would have a chance to kill Thor. VÃ¤inÃ¤mÃ¶inen (demi-god) and Perun (pagan god) have waited even longer.

When he finally confronts Mundus, the demon in question, and gets the finishing shot on him, Dante seals the deal by declaring "Jackpot!". Apart from the game's taglinenote "Half Man. Half Demon. Pure Vengeance." making it obvious, this dialogue sequence is one of the earliest plot points in the series that heavily imply revenge as one of Dante's motivations in slaying demons.

But no matter how much Ambrose tried, all his attempts at revenge failed thanks to the intervention of other parties. Eventually, Ambrose learned to harness his rage and lie low, so Rollins would no longer think he was a threat. Fast forward two years after the betrayal: Rollins has just returned from a major injury that cut his first world title reign short, and doggedly pursues after the title that he claims he never lost. Come Money in the Bank 2016, and Rollins wins his title back from former teammate Roman Reigns...only for Ambrose, who had won the MiTB ladder match earlier that night, to blindside him from behind, cash in, and win the title off him, finally getting his revenge in the process.

It killed most, but a few survived... and one remembered. Gin witnessed Aizen stealing a piece of Rangiku's soul when they were children; he became Aizen's right-hand man solely to find a way to avenge Rangiku. When Gin finally finds the moment, after a hundred years of waiting, he discovers that Aizen not only knew all along but made it a part of his plan to use near-death experiences to gain new levels of power. A thousand years ago, Yhwach conquered the northern kingdoms of the World of the Living. In the process, he destroyed the forest and homes of two quincy children, who vowed to grow stronger and earn Yhwach's trust as their only realistic option for obtaining revenge. The dominant friend, Bazz-B, made the decision for both children, assuming they were like-minded. However, it's implied that Haschwalth's guardian was abusive, making Haschwalth's decision to serve Yhwach - his accidental rescuer - more ambiguous than Bazz-B realises.

Granted, he isn't the one to kill her in the end, but he gets to shoot her several times with his Bloody Rose gun, enough to enable her death shortly afterwards by Kaname.

When he was 13, his parents fell into massive debt to the wrong people and killed themselves, leaving him and his little sister at the hands of their amoral debt collectors. They were both sold off, he to a military organization and she into prostitution. Once he is free and finds his sister worse than dead, he begins his decade-long revenge plan. He builds himself up to the right hand of the most powerful CEOs in Japan, then kills her and takes over her company, becoming worth over 3 trillion dollars. When the time comes, he eliminates all of his targets in one swift stroke, personally murdering the man who kidnapped and sold him and his sister, then destroys the entire fortune of the corporation, shattering Japan's economy and severely injuring other world powers who had much invested in it. So, at least two decades after he was wronged, he successfully executes a plan that not only kills the men responsible for destroying his family but the entire corrupt society that allowed such practices to become commonplace.

Rather than being portrayed as The Starscream to Cardinal Wolsey, he is intensely loyal and never forgives Wolsey's untimely death, nor the obscene masque depicting Wolsey dragged to hell by five demons. Cromwell rarely addresses it directly in his internal monologue, but when it comes time to have Anne tried, she says he must never have forgiven her for her part. He also settles on the five men who played the demons in the masque for her "adulterers"note he built his case from spiteful gossip and rumor from Anne's ladies, but pointedly left out an easy conviction viz his lovesick friend Thomas Wyatt and mentally categorizes them by the parts they played: left forepaw, etcetera. This happens six years after Wolsey's 1530 death.

Although his sister-in-law claims his brother died of heart pains, Song begins to hear rumors that he was poisoned after he had learned of his wife's affair. Song has a reputation for rash violence (his claim to fame was beating a tiger to death); he had already predicted something like this would happen; he is even told by his brother's ghost that it was murder. Still, he proceeds to find witnesses and politely gets their stories, and he tries to have the crime properly prosecuted. After that fails, he gathers all of the neighbors at his brother's house and forces a confession out of his sister-in-law and her accomplice, having a neighbor dutifully write it all down. Only with all that out of the way does he savagely disembowel her and offer her entrails on his brother's memorial altar, then hunt down her lover and hurl him out a window, and behead the both of them. Impressive, considering he was seething with rage the whole time.

As such, kdatlyno will wait for years or even decades for the chance to get payback on those who wronged them, waiting for just the right moment to act while plotting and replotting their revenge. It's said in the interstellar grapevine that the species as a whole is planning the mother of all vengeances on the Kzinti Patriarchy for having enslaved them.

In all that time, her hatred hasn't cooled one iota — as she reveals to Miorine, despite her composed appearance, she's driven by the voices of her dead comrades constantly urging her to avenge them, and it's not quite clear if this is merely a figure of speech. Part of the reason for the wait is that she's been raising her daughter, the other survivor of the purge, to be her weapon against him. Another reason is that she Can't Kill You, Still Need You, and has been working with him to take advantage of his resources to achieve another, just as personal objective before she destroys him.

Best Served Cold / int_9d47a2a2	comment	In George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Doran Martell has been patiently waiting and plotting his revenge on House Lannister for their brutal murders of his sister Elia and her two young children. He intends to restore the Targaryens to power, utterly destroying the Lannisters in the process and taking away everything they gained from Elia's murder. Lord Manderly doesn't exactly serve his revenge cold: he serves it piping hot, well-seasoned, enclosed within a flaky crust and with an excellent gravy, all at a wedding feast... to their oblivious next of kin. Om nom nom. And, this is plainly just the starter to his planned, multiple-course banquet of revenge for all the wrongs he feels that the Freys and Boltons have perpetrated on him and his. And, most of his House and the small armada they've been building for months is on-board... so, even if he dies getting a good gloat or two in, it's likely still going to bite them. Then there's Arya Stark, who after seeing her father betrayed and executed starts an ever-growing list of people she plans to get revenge on, which she repeats before going to sleep each night. Petyr Baelish was told where to go by the universe at large when it came to trying to court Catelyn Tully's hand. Um... whoops? Most of the plot is him basically cutting everything and anything down by the hamstrings in slow increments to pay the world back by eventually slitting its throat...

Jack escaped the island after three days thanks to some rum runners and swore to use that single pistol shot to kill Barbossa.

Dervla was beaten into submission until she became an Angry Guard Dog for them. Once the Furgul and the rest of "Dog Bunch" free her, Dervla tries to enact revenge upon both of her abusers. Furgul stops her from mauling one of them, but Dervla later kills the one who personally beat her up. After the racing greyhounds are let loose, many of them bite to death a man known as "the Gambler" who assisted in treating them like slaves for years. Furgul leads Deadbone into the pit where he had dropped all the greyhounds he had killed over the years. Dedbone ends up impaled by the bones of the dogs that he had shot when they couldn't run for him like he wanted.

His realization of how great his life is summons the angered spirit that swore to torment his soul years ago. Angered spirit kills him, but it turns out it wasn't the man he wished to take vengeance on. The man at the confessional confesses that he sacrificed one of his naive servants to save his own skin, and now not only he is haunted by a deadly spirit of a homeless beggar, but also one of his poor servants.

After Yoren shares how in bed he would say the name of the man he planned to kill as "a prayer almost," Arya keeps a list of those she intends to take revenge on and even checks a few off it, with the list growing longer each day. She finally gets revenge on her main target, Walder Frey, by killing him in the very same room as the Red Wedding. Varys explains his Origin Story in a monologue — he was castrated by a sorcerer and thrown out to die, causing him to decide to do absolutely whatever it took to live, and then gain power. The climax to this story is him opening a large crate containing the sorcerer who castrated him all those years ago. After nursing his grudge for several decades, he finally gets to act on it â€” he had the sorcerer shipped to him with his lips sewn shut so he could take his time with the son of a bitch. It's easy enough to guess what happens next.

His body ruined, he has his brain transferred into his minion Lex Luthor's body. He then spends the next fifty years getting his revenge, first by turning Superman's son against him, then murdering his family, then just to twist the knife further he has Superman's friends like Jimmy Olsen and Perry White Jr. killed while Supes is too consumed with rage to do anything but chase "Luthor". And then it turns out this was all part of a Gambit Roulette to steal Superman's body.

Best Served Cold / int_cac1f772	comment	An episode of CSI had a particularly epic example of this. While at a sports game, a morbidly obese woman was in the winning seat, and got called down. A Jerkass in the audience started jeering her and got everyone else going (a regular occurrence, as his other "victims" stated). She was utterly humiliated, her fiance left her and things actually got worse from there. Obsessed, she dieted, worked out, etc. excessively, eventually becoming stunningly hot, succeeded in joining a sports team's cheerleaders, rigged the winning ticket contest so that the loudmouth jerkass won, and kissed him when he came down, killing him via poison she had put on fake lips. Likewise, CSI: Miami has a college girl humiliated by a trio of students at Spring Break. Over the next year, she drops a hundred pounds, changes her name, and, at the next Spring Break, hunts each of her tormentors down to kill them (the team originally thinking they were dealing with three unconnected murders).

He adopted Edgeworth after he murdered Gregory just so he could take advantage of his traumatized, impressionable state in order to raise him as a ruthless prosecutor who valued winning above all else — everything his father stood against. He then framed and prosecuted Edgeworth for the murder of the man who defended Gregory's supposed killer, and then when that falls through in court, for the murder of his own father.

Then, on the day the protagonist is finally set to have a day off to spend a day with his father (who's actually looking forward to it,) he strings him along until that evening before sending a rebuilt Lucy to tell him that he's severing all ties with him.

The Strength and Patience of the Hills takes vengeance merely by continuing to exist, as the friction of the Raven's words not being true is slowly killing the Raven. The events of the book eventually bring that revenge to fruition, with the Raven dead and the kingdom he had built about to be torn apart by invasion and revolt.

Best Served Cold / int_f3dc974e	comment	The event that causes Starcraft's Arcturus Mengsk to take up arms against the Confederacy is the assassination of his father, mother, and sister by three Confederate Ghosts. Two of them are killed early in his rebellion, but the third is Sarah Kerrigan, who defected from the Confederacy to join Mengsk and his Sons of Korhal. Sarah learns of this connection at Mengsk's execution of the second Ghost, but he says that Sarah's actions and loyalty have given him cause to forgive her. She's caught completely by surprise when, years later, Mengsk simply doesn't bother sending evac to her on a world about to be overrun by the zerg. In an ironic twist of events, even Mengsk gets on the receiving end of one by Kerrigan herself at the climax of the Heart of the Swarm, when she siccs the Zerg Swarm into Korhal to force Mengsk out and ultimately killing him in the process.

Because he always seeks revenge on those who see him helpless and because he can wait indefinitely, use whatever methods, and always makes sure it's done where nobody can trace him, the heroes have to be very careful to never let themselves alone where he can get them. Bean and Suriyawong learn how to exploit this.

Rather than confront or accuse Lila, she'll be Lila's best friend and supporter. She'll drag every other class member into the overblown schemes that Lila cooks up, she'll make everyone endlessly adapt and adapt again to Lila's falsified disabilities, she'll bring them crashing face-first into the consequences of Lila's lies, over and over again, with a smile on her face, and if they should begin to come to their senses, she'll refuse to listen to their concerns, and insist on defending Lila, until the whole classroom is a bubbling, boiling pot of resentment. But she doesn't rush it to that point; she works steadily for months, giving every appearance of worshipping the ground Lila walks on until the room explodes of its own accord.

Best Served Cold / int_f7d93e4a	comment	Assassin's Creed In Assassin's Creed II, it takes Ezio twenty years to get to the man who ordered the deaths of his father and brothers. Although the man who directly kills them dies much earlier. And even then he doesn't outright kill him, the evil pope. He just kicks his ass and punches him brutally. that's right: Ezio kicks the ass of the then-current POPE. It takes another game for the pope to finally die, and not even at the hands of Ezio, but by his own poisoned apple. And even after that, he still keeps fighting evil in the hopes that it leads him to the answers he desires. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla: The end of the Mastery Challenges has Eivor dealing with an extremely delayed case of this. Before the Precursor civilization went up in flames, one of them discovered Odin and his inner circle were planning to cheat death and leave everyone else to die. She objected, tried to stop them, failed, and was thrown in a cell. But before this Freyja gave her a device which she passed along to her daughter, with the instructions to use it to find Odin's reincarnation and kill them. Flash forward seventy-five thousand years, and her distant descendant has done so. However, Eivor has no idea what's going on. As far as she knows, some old lady is suddenly trying to smash her head in with an axe while screaming nonsense about the gods.

The father was pegged as the killer and spent 20 years in prison before being exonerated, and when he gets out, he starts killing one registered sex offender or pedophile a day, vowing not to stop until the real killer of his son is arrested. At the end, he corners the murderer, planning to kill him before committing suicide, but is convinced not to by his ex-wife, who still loves him. Upon finding out who the main suspect was in his wife's hit-and-run death, Detective Jeffries goes after him with a gun but does not kill him.
