Bolivian Army Ending | comment |
A Bolivian Army Ending is an Ending Trope that occurs when the main characters face seemingly insurmountable odds which, for once, they actually seem unable to surmount. The trope is named for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid — based on both the end of the movie, and the title characters' real-life ending. This trope usually leaves out the actual demise of the protagonists, ending just as they face the fire. Thus, while previous circumstances and/or antagonists indicate their unseen yet inevitable destruction, the actual fate(s) of the hero(es) hide(s) behind the horizon evermore, unless the fiction continues this/these character(s) in an upcoming/additional body of work. A variation, the Bolivian Army Cliffhanger, can be used in TV shows and other serial media to raise the audience's tension over which characters survive to the next season or installment. See Uncertain Doom for scenarios in which a character's fate is left hanging in the middle of a work, season or installment rather than at the end. Can be considered a variation of a Downer Ending, although it's ambiguous enough to give the viewer/reader some hope. When the camera cuts to a different scene unrelated to the battle right before the work ends, this overlaps with Charge-into-Combat Cut. Arguably scarier is an Offscreen Inertia ending. If history or the work the story is adapted from tell us the heroes met an ugly fate, but the work itself purposefully ends on an earlier high or neutral note but not the last moment they’re still alive, see Happily Ever Before. As some shows/films have ended on an unresolved Cliffhanger, it's worth noting the difference between the two. A cliffhanger is designed to create suspense and maintain the audience's attention so that they come back to continue the story. An unresolved cliffhanger, therefore, is an unintentionally suspenseful ending; the producers intended for the cliffhanger to be resolved, but outside events prevented this. The Bolivian Army Ending, however, is an intentional ending, and needs to work satisfactorily as such; while the exact details of what happened might be slightly ambiguous, it is often heavily implied what the outcome will be, and either way the audience is left under no illusions that the character's story is not over. The Trope Namer, for example, doesn't show the viewer the outcome of the two main characters confronting the Bolivian Army, but it is framed in such a way that the audience is left in little doubt what it will be regardless. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Let Valvatorez curb-stomp the endgame too well in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten and you'll get the God ending. Why is it called the God ending? Because Valvatorez manages to piss God off so much that He destroys both Earth and the Netherworld, declares total war on Val and his party, and sends eight million lesser gods to kill them. The party's defeated a tenth of them so far. | |

Watchmen ends with something similar, with a worker at the New Frontiersman trying to decide on an item from the "Crank Pile" to run as a back-up story, and uncovering Rorschach's journal. If he makes it into a story, and it's taken seriously, it will expose Ozymandias' crimes — although the consequence of this might be global nuclear war. If he chooses something else, or it's not taken seriously, Ozymandias gets away with everything. This is the very last panel of the comic, so we never actually see which of these outcomes happens. The subtext (including the ending of the Black Freighter story-within-a-story and Dr. Manhattan's prophetic warning) suggests quite clearly that no victory will ever be complete or eternal...which means that either Rorschach's story will undermine Ozymandias' plan, or a nuclear war will start within a few years anyway. The implied tragedy being that Ozymandias essentially sacrificed millions of lives to achieve a peace that won't even last a single decade. Doomsday Clock ultimately reveals that the former is what happened. | |

Dream Web: At the end of the game Ryan walks out of a subway entrance, just to be greeted by about four cop cars and a bunch of police officers, all with their guns pointed at Ryan, telling Ryan to put down the gun. For whatever reason Ryan does not drop the gun, the police promptly shoot Ryan numerous times, blowing him into the subway entrance where his soul enters the Dreamweb for one last time. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica ends with Homura engaging a group of gigantic Grief Demons. Her Witch corruption has begun forming an incomplete barrier, trailing behind her in the shape of wings. She hears Madoka's voice, which is more of a sign that she's reached her end. The apocalyptic landscape suggests this may even be humanity as a whole's Bolivian army ending. Which is about as bittersweet as you can expect from the series. The interpretation that this is the end of humanity is contradicted by Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion. The manga, however, explicitly shows Homura reaching heaven and reuniting with Madoka...Only for the Rebellion manga to show it was a dream. |

Both get resolved in Dead Men's Trousers: It's an Immediate Sequel from Renton's point of view where he runs and locks himself in the toilet but it turns out Begbie really has renounced violence and isn't angry. His apparent waking from his coma turned out to be an involuntary spasm. Simon wonders if he faked it and is planning a delayed revenge but nothing comes of it. |

Simon Darcourt, the erudite terrorist villain/anti-hero of Christopher Brookmyre's novels A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away and A Snowball in Hell, has fates fitting this trope in both novels. In the first, he is sucked into a cataclysmic whirlpool in a power station, in the second he's shot in the spine, one of his eyes is gouged out and he's handed over to a gang of international criminals who've been after him throughout the book. One of the protagonists comments on how it's highly unlikely that he'll get out of this alive, although if anyone can, then it's probably Darcourt... | |

Highschool of the Dead: This is the fate of Saya's parents. They're last seen telling the kids to escape while they defend their property against a massive horde. Not to worry, as her parents are shown to be pretty badass and could probably make it. The anime ends with the protagonists, armed and confident, dramatically walking toward a zombie-infested highway, hoping to eliminate them all and escape on their vehicle. |

The Sword of Doom uses a slight variation: during an epic battle in which the main character has killed dozens of other members of his assassins' guild in a burning geisha house (but with many more remaining), he is clearly starting to feel the effects of his wounds. The film ends with a freeze-frame as he lunges into yet another swordfight. Supposedly this movie was to be the first in a trilogy that was never made, and further installments would have resolved his fate more conclusively. | |

TRON: Uprising - Despite some heavy losses and struggle, it's looking like Beck might just be getting a rebellion underway, but then Clu himself is seen leading an army of Recognizers, Light Jets, and tanks and closing in on Argon City. There has been no mention of Argon outside of this series and in January 2016 the third movie was canceled. Thus the Bolivian army ending to the storyline is a Bolivian army ending to the franchise. | |

In the penultimate scene of Cross of Iron, when Soviet troops overrun a German-held train station on the Kuban peninsula, Colonel Brandt rallies some soldiers around him to advance. The scene freezes as Brandt walks forward, similar to the ambiguous end to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, heavily implying it is a suicidal last stand. | |

Angel ended its long run with the death or abandonment of several long-running characters. In "Not Fade Away", an entire army of demons is sent against the remaining characters who have reunited in an rainy alley. The series ends just as the eponymous character delivers the first blow of the final battle. It was later stated that was intended to symbolize one of the show's themes, that being that the fight never ends. The Angel: After the Fall comics continued the story and are Canon according to the Word of God. For the curious; all the alive characters at the end of the show are still moving. Then some died and came back. | |

While the author has yet to actually write the sequence, Alatriste will, according to him, conclude with a French Army Ending at the Battle of Rocroi. The film adaptation replicates this in a fashion quite reminiscent of the trope namer, with the camera stopping as a wounded Alatriste charges into an incoming French assault. | |

The original ending to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) has the main character escape but leads us to believe that no one will believe his warnings about the aliens until it's too late. Executive Meddling changed this to a less fatalistic, though still decidedly ambiguous ending. The 70s remake ups the bar to an even more frightening and depressing twist ending, which dances along the line between Bolivian Army and just flatout The Bad Guy Wins. | |

FEAR: Extraction Point (not canon) pretty much ends this way, with both of the Pointman's teammates dead, the Pointman himself possibly near death, his extraction chopper blown up, and The End of the World as We Know It apparently looming, according to Fettel: "A war is coming. I've seen it in my dreams. Fires sweeping the Earth, bodies in the streets, cities turned to dust. Retaliation." | |

The trope is named for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which ends with the two heroes apparently surrounded by the entire Bolivian army. They could surrender, but instead they choose to come out all guns blazing. The film ends just as they do so, and we never see them die. note The original version of the film showed their death, but Robert Redford preferred a more ambiguous ending. There is some historical evidence that the real Butch Cassidy may have survived the event, but none for the Sundance Kid. | |

The Martians begin to grow as Bugs climbs out of the sewer, frantically replaces cover and warns the audience to "Run for the hills folks, or you'll be up to your armpits in Martians!" before taking his own advice as the ground shakes with the aliens underneath. | |

The Butter Battle Book, Dr. Seuss's Cold War parable, combines this with No Ending. The Yooks and the Zooks are in a Space Cold War over which side of the bread to put butter on, and the Yook agent and Zook agent keep getting sent to the border wall and trying to one-up each other with increasingly powerful (but still cartoonish and Seussian) weapons. At the end, the Yook agent is equipped with a "Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo" to annihilate the Zooks. With the Yook civilians sent into underground bomb shelters, the Yook agent marches with his grandson up to the wall...but surprise, surprise, the Zook agent has his own Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo! The book ends in a Mexican Standoff, accompanied by the following exchange between the Yook agent and his grandson: | |

Animal Farm (1954) does this to the villains. Whereas the book ends with the animals of Animal Farm watching helplessly through the window as the now-corrupt pigs and the evil farmers gloat over their new alliance, the film ends with Benjamin the donkey rallying his fellows in a second rebellion. Thus, the film ends with the pigs cornered, trapped and cowering, their literal guard-dogs too drunk to lift a paw to come and help, as an army of other animals begins breaking through the windows and door and, it's heavily implied, trample and gore them all to death. | |

Half-Life has two endings. The canon (and "good") one ends with the player accepting the G-Man's offer of employment which eventually leads to the second game. His other choice is "a battle you have no chance of winning...rather an anticlimax after what you've just survived." If the player chooses not to accept the offer of employment, they suddenly appear in the middle of Xen with no weapons and many, many, many Alien Grunts. "No regrets, Mr. Freeman..." Fade to Black. | |

The Night Unfurls: Despite the fact that the original was discontinued at Chapter 33, the end of the chapter feels like one of these. The Alliance Expeditionary Force depart to Thorn, among the army are five thousand men including Kyril, his four apprentice hunters, Bergen, Claudia's Dawn Templars, Alicia's Knights of Iris, and Olga. Meanwhile, the forces of Thorn, clearly in a tight spot, is nevertheless fighting hard against the Black Dogs' hordes of mutants, with Sanada Yukimura as commander cutting a path straight through the horde in a cavalry charge. Ultimately, whichever side comes out victorious, as well as whoever survives (other than Kyril, of course) in this Big Badass Battle Sequence is unclear. Around 3 years later, the trope is ultimately subverted due to the release of Chapter 34, which signals the fanfic's continuation. | |

Detroit: Become Human can end on such a note in one of two ways. Either Markus leads a violent assault to liberate the android recall centers and succeeds, or, with his back against the wall, he detonates a dirty bomb and forces the military to retreat and Detroit to be evacuated. In the former case, Markus declares their offensive as the beginning of a war unless they can negotiate for all the other androids held in recall centers country-wide to be freed. In the latter case, the story concludes with the President declaring war against the deviant androids and vowing to put a stop to their uprising at all costs. | |

Boiler Room: At the end, Seth manages to get out from under criminal prosecution by cooperating with the Feds, but the movie ends just as Federal agents storm J.T. Marlin after Seth walks out, leaving it ambiguous exactly what happened to Chris and the rest of the company, or if any of them got away. There's an alternate take on this in the unused ending: Seth makes the same deal with the Feds and leaves the building when a customer whose money he stole pulls up in his car with and walks in with a concealed gun. He misses Seth himself, but it's not clear if he went on a shooting spree at J.T Marlin after their brief run-in. |

The final episode of All My Children during its run on ABC ended with the entirety of Pine Valley gathering at the Chandler Mansion to welcome home Back from the Dead Stuart, only for a drunken JR, who had ostracized himself from everyone, to sneak between the walls of the currently being remodeled parlor. After Erica pushes Jack to far he storms off, with her determined to win him back. JR aims, as the likes of Erica, David, Marissa and others come into view. Erica defiantly recants Opal's comment that she's never getting Jack back. "Just watch me!" JR continues to aim the gun, BANG, cut to black. This was Subverted as the show was meant to be picked up by new online network, Prospect Park, alongside One Life To Live, and the show would continue from where it left off, however plans fell through, leaving fans in anger on the question "Who did JR shoot?" Later partially averted, as thankfully, in 2013, The Online Network revived Prospect Parks plan, however as the Revival of All My Children began, five years had passed, and the reveal that Marissa had taken the bullet and David had shot JR in retaliation for his daughters death. Though too many the final episode on ABC remains the Soaps Series Finale. |

Chapter Two of Keep On Running, a Doctor Who fanfic, ends with Echo!Clara facing down a group of prison guards alone, unsure of whether she'll be rescued. Chapter Three ends with another Echo!Clara facing down yeti. An author's note makes clear she definitely dies in Chapter 3, and possibly Chapter 2 as well. | |

Half-Life: Half-Life has two endings. The canon (and "good") one ends with the player accepting the G-Man's offer of employment which eventually leads to the second game. His other choice is "a battle you have no chance of winning...rather an anticlimax after what you've just survived." If the player chooses not to accept the offer of employment, they suddenly appear in the middle of Xen with no weapons and many, many, many Alien Grunts. "No regrets, Mr. Freeman..." Fade to Black. The Half-Life: Uplink demo ends with Gordon being cornered by a Gargantua, and the screen fading to black followed by the message "Current evaluation: uplink completed. Require further data." |

A Quiet Place is a rare hopeful case. Evelyn sees through the surveillance monitors a bunch of the creatures are coming. However, she just learned the beasts can be killed, so her daughter gets ready to play the sound that weakens them, and the movie ends just as Evelyn does a Dramatic Gun Cock. The existence of a sequel implies things went well. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core has you play through Zack's final stand, Retconned so he faces off against seemingly the entire Shinra army. It has all the hallmarks of a Bolivian Army Ending except that you get to see the inevitable conclusion. The two alternate timelines of the VII universe diverge significantly on the outcome of this battle. In the original timeline, Zack is killed. In Final Fantasy VII Remake, he survives this specific battle. | |

Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds ends with our protagonists up on Mt. Fuji while it erupts catastrophically, leaving the female lead dangling from a branch over a huge crevice filling with lava. A song with lyrics about accepting death plays on the soundtrack and the titular monsters succumb to the eruption. The male lead reaches out to try and grab the woman's hand. The movie cuts to credits just as he successfully grabs her hand - but he hasn't actually pulled her out from over the crevice, and even if he does, they're already surrounded by fire and lava and geysers of poison gas, with the ground falling apart all around them, making their survival highly unlikely. | |

In Cooties, the alternative ending makes the teachers stop in the middle of nowhere due for not having gasoline (Instead of having the same fate in the middle of an abandoned city). They find a scouts camp, and the counselor, hanging on a noose. Then, the characters hear a bunch of zombie kids behind them laughing, one of them being Shelley, the first infected kid. After that, the movie goes to credits, not knowing exactly if they live or not. It ended this way due for not having enough budged to cover this scene, so they went for the movie ending. | |

In the series finale of Battle Creek the father of a boy who blames the boy's death on FBI agent Milt Chamberlain shoots Milt right in the heart. Milt falls to the ground, his partner presses down on his wound and says "you'll be OK, you'll be OK" as a large blood stain spreads on the shirt; Milt laughs and it's unclear if he laughs because he knows he's dying, or because he's relieved he'll be OK. | |

They were confirmed dead in a later mini-series that dealt with the spirits of the team trying to stop a group of dead Marvel villains. Humorously, Doop, who was among those killed in the finale, later turned up alive. | |

"Episode Final", the alternative reality movie of the TV series Kamen Rider Ryuki, ends with Yui dead and Knight and Ryuki as the last remaining Riders facing down an army of Hydragoons intent on wiping out all of humanity. The TV special 13 Riders (set in another timeline) finishes with Shinji as Knight Survive preparing to fight the remaining seven Riders at once. (As a footnote, the ending of the TV series proves that both of these go on to be Reset Button Endings.) As for the likely outcome, the Episode Final version is survivable, as mass-produced monsters tend to not be that tough, though this was the biggest crowd of them we'd seen. As for 13 Riders...all the Riders were setting up their "final vent" attacks, so even with Survive Mode, Shinji was pretty much screwed. | |

The level "Of Their Own Accord" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ends with the player character, Private James Ramirez, trapped in the wreckage of a crashed Blackhawk (Ramirez's squad was protecting a civilian evacuation, and got hit by a SAM). As Russian troops approach the crashed Blackhawk, Ramirez's M4 runs out of ammo, Corporal Dunn gets shot, and an enemy helicopter hovers over, shining its searchlight straight at the player as the screen fades to white. The next level putting you in the shoes of a soldier half the world away. The level "Second Sun" returns to Ramirez, letting them replay everything mentioned above, but then revealing how the actions of Captain Price in the last level end up saving him and his squad. | |

The end of "Down the Rabbit Hole" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Price, Yuri, and the Russian President get into a helicopter as Team Metal stays behind to hold off the Ultranationalist army. While you could argue Team Metal is enough of a Badass Crew to survive that, the entire mine they're fighting in collapses on them (after the helicopter escapes - and is in fact why it needed to leave), making the chances of their survival slim. | |

The ending of the animated film version of The Plague Dogs has the two protagonists swimming out into the ocean, trying to reach an island. While it at first seemed that there was likely no island at all, the film gives just a tiny bit of ambiguity to their fates by having the fog clear during the credits to reveal that there was in fact an island, albeit a distant one. | |

While Thelma & Louise aren't trying to mow down the state police who have finally cornered them, the movie ends with a freeze frame of their car flying into the Grand Canyon. The original cut featured the Vanishing Point ending, where the car goes flipping end-over-end as it descends into the canyon, and Slocumb walking back in disbelief - before cutting back to a static shot of the car driving towards another canyon - apparently meant to symbolize that the pair will continue traveling, even after death. At the Academy Awards, Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon joked about how to get their characters to survive for a sequel. | |

In one of the endings in Way of the Samurai 3 you join or take over the Ouka Clan of Bandits, and end up being the one in charge of them when the Fujimori Clan leads a massive army against you. Despite managing to fight your way out, you and several of your comrades find yourselves completely surrounded. You and your companions ultimately decide to give them all the fight you have left and charge into the fray. The game ends with a note about an "unknown samurai disappearing into history." | |

In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, the last cutscene featuring Vergil has him falling into Hell, severely weakened by the battle he just had with his brother, and right in front of the demon king Mundus. He then declares that if his father beat Mundus, he could as well. The scene cuts right as Vergil charges towards Mundus and the fight is never shown. This is a subversion however, since the events of Devil May Cry 3 happened before the first installment where he's been transformed into Mundus' slave; he obviously lost. | |

In the American Dad! episode "Escape From Pearl Bailey," Steve and his friends are trapped in a bus with an angry mob that wants to beat them up. Steve, who had been having problems with his friends thoughout the episode, offers to make up with them. They accept, and they decide to go out in a blaze of glory, jumping out of the bus and trying to take a few of the mob with them. The image freeze-frames when they make the leap, but the trope is ultimately subverted because the sound continues and you can clearly hear Steve and his friends getting pounded and bemoaning that they are NOT taking anybody with them at all. | |

In one of the bad endings in Way of the Samurai 4 you join the xenophobic Prajna movement in an attack against the British embassy, which the British treat as an act of war. Akagi, the leader of the Prajna's, is mortally wounded and gives the leadership of his movement to your character. The game ends with the much more modern British army invading Japan, while your character is seen leading the charge against them. | |

Alatriste ends with the main characters fighting in the Spanish side in the battle of Rocroi. They are given the choice of surrender, but the Spanish Tercio cannot accept it. The Other Wiki says Spanish defeat with 7,000 dead and wounded plus 8,000 captured of the original 27,000 Spanish soldiers. Final freeze frame, although Word of God says that the main character is killed with his squire escaping to tell the story; nothing is said of sidekick Copóns. | |

The sequel reveals that he survived, but was left very badly wounded. Wolfenstein: Youngblood has Jessica, Sophia, and Abby deciding to stay behind in Paris to fend off an inevitable Fourth Reich counterattack and buy time for their parents to rally the rest of the world to put an end to the Nazis once and for all. |

In Fallout 3, the in-game radio show "The Adventures of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood and his Stalwart Ghoul Manservant, Argyle" ends on a literal cliffhanger, with Dashwood dangling from a cliff edge, the citizens of Rockopolis trying to kill them, and the cave about to be overrun by slavers. Later on you meet Dashwood himself, but you don't find out what happens to Argyle unless you come upon a fairly hidden area that's not marked on the map. Turns out he never made it out of Rockopolis, he got killed in a cave-in. | |

The Italian Job (1969) (the original British classic, not the American remake) has a variation on this, with the thieves stuck in a bus balancing precariously over a cliff—and all their stolen gold is in the half of the bus that's dangling in the air. Charlie Croker reassures his gang that he has a "really good idea," but the movie ends before we can see what it is, let alone whether it works or not. The ending was supposed to be a Sequel Hook for a sequel that was never made: the gold goes over the cliff, the French Mafia pick it up, and Charlie Croker's crew spend the rest of the film getting it back. Having been released only a year after the end of the Hays Code, which forbade criminal characters from profiting from their crimes, the ending is also a product of its time. | |

The Doctor Who Missing Adventures series ends with a sequence set between Season 17 and 18, where the Doctor has been caught up to by the Black Guardian who has given him the choice between remaining in his TARDIS all his life or leaving and suffering a Fate Worse than Death. He finds the TARDIS emergency switch but from Romana's comment pulling it might make them 'fictional characters', a potential fate which (in addition to erasing the entire series after the point the writer stopped liking it) worries the Doctor enough that he finally goes in for that kiss. The book ends as he pulls the switch. The Doctor Who New Adventures novel So Vile a Sin features the Doctor's companion Roz Forrester returning to her ancestral seat as a senior member of one of the Great Houses ruling the Earth Empire in the 30th century. The Doctor knows her House is going to get involved in a war and warns her repeatedly that if she becomes involved he will not be able to save her. The book ends with Roz making up her mind to join her family in the fighting and she ends up leading a charge "up the hill into history". |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "Once More Unto the Breach" ends this way, as Kor fights the Dominion fleet. We never see his ship destroyed; we only get a play-by-play until the Rotarran gets too far away for the sensors to pick up what's happening. Earlier in the episode, Worf discusses the trope from his romantic perspective when discussing Davy Crockett at the Alamo: If you believe in the legend then you can simply accept he died a hero's death. If you don't then he was just a man, and it doesn't matter how he died. | |

Halo: A Halo 2 demo sort of invoked this, ending with Cortana and Chief treating the multiple Spec-Ops Elites opposing them at the end as a mere chance to make a bet. Though you already knew that he was going to be just fine. In Halo 3: ODST's Firefight, this is the only possible outcome, although Halo: Reach's Firefight subverts this by making it possible to survive to the end unless you select a certain setting. At the end of Reach's campaign, before the credits, Noble Six is left stranded on the titular planet as the Covenant finally completely overrun it. Then he/she bites it in "Lone Wolf". |

The original Mass Effect 3 ending had the Crucible's beam encroaching on the escaping Normandy and apparently destroying or disabling it, but the Extended Cut ending shows it escaping unscathed if you have a high enough EMS. | |

In Wanted: Dead, the last we see of Stone is that she is cornered by what remains of Engels security troops, as Stone, after speaking out her last words toward the orphaned kid that was part of one of her case before, cocks her handgun. Her survival is most likely guaranteed though considering what remains of Engles security troops shown are just the armed trooper ones. | |

Begbie causes them at the end of two of the Trainspotting sequels: In Porno, Begbie is in a coma while Simon explains how he was manipulating him. The book ends with Begbie opening his eyes and grabbing Simon's hand as he's drawing a penis on his face. The Blade Artist ends with Begbie on a plane swearing to renounce his violent ways. He immediately notices a man who's strongly implied to be Renton who stole thousands of pounds from him in the original novel. Both get resolved in Dead Men's Trousers: It's an Immediate Sequel from Renton's point of view where he runs and locks himself in the toilet but it turns out Begbie really has renounced violence and isn't angry. His apparent waking from his coma turned out to be an involuntary spasm. Simon wonders if he faked it and is planning a delayed revenge but nothing comes of it. |

Shaman King's original run ended in a manner similar to this. Hao earned the title of Shaman King, and was about to begin a ritual to earn the power of the Great Spirit. Yoh and co. are still far, far too weak to beat him. Before that, they have to fight seven more Patch Officiants in eleven hours. Everyone goes to sleep on the eve of the final battle, Hao says, "Goodbye"..And..That's where the series ends. Some might have considered this a Downer Ending before the series was Uncanceled. | |

Comical example: During the 1986 movie Tough Guys, Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster have shown a teamwork move that begins with one of them kicking the current foe in the groin. At the end of the movie, after they have plowed the hijacked train across the Mexican border, and are surrounded by the Mexican authorities, Kirk Douglas kicks one in the groin...and the credits roll. | |

It Follows: The Big Bad It is a nameless, backstory-less entity that follows Its victims at a walking pace. It never goes faster than walking, but It also never stops until It catches up. Once It catches up, It kills them. You can throw It off by having sex and passing the curse on to someone else, but once the person you passed It onto dies, It's back to you. The film ends with two people in the chain of victims walking slowly down the street, while someone else walks about forty meters behind them, at about the same speed. Since It can shapeshift, it's unclear if the person we see is It, or just a random passerby. Cue credits! | |

In The Thanos Imperative, Nova and Star-Lord stayed behind in the collapsing Cancerverse to prevent Thanos from escaping. A memorial service for the two heroes was held, but their fates were never made explicit. Both Thanos and Star-Lord were revealed to have survived two years later, while the existence of a new Nova seems to suggest that his predecessor didn't make it. A few years afterwards, that Nova ultimately did come back. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "Once More Unto the Breach" ends this way, as Kor fights the Dominion fleet. We never see his ship destroyed; we only get a play-by-play until the Rotarran gets too far away for the sensors to pick up what's happening. Earlier in the episode, Worf discusses the trope from his romantic perspective when discussing Davy Crockett at the Alamo: If you believe in the legend then you can simply accept he died a hero's death. If you don't then he was just a man, and it doesn't matter how he died. In Star Trek: Voyager episode "Think Tank", this is done to the villains. Voyager takes off to find a whole new Monster of the Week, leaving the villains stuck having to fend off numerous Hazari ships. Too bad, so sad. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "E Squared", the last we see of the alternate timeline Enterprise is the vessel charging into a fleet of hostile alien ships while the "real" Enterprise escapes through a wormhole. Archer and T'Pol discuss this later, speculating on whether or not they could have survived or even if they were erased from history. |

Kamen Rider: "Episode Final", the alternative reality movie of the TV series Kamen Rider Ryuki, ends with Yui dead and Knight and Ryuki as the last remaining Riders facing down an army of Hydragoons intent on wiping out all of humanity. The TV special 13 Riders (set in another timeline) finishes with Shinji as Knight Survive preparing to fight the remaining seven Riders at once. (As a footnote, the ending of the TV series proves that both of these go on to be Reset Button Endings.) As for the likely outcome, the Episode Final version is survivable, as mass-produced monsters tend to not be that tough, though this was the biggest crowd of them we'd seen. As for 13 Riders...all the Riders were setting up their "final vent" attacks, so even with Survive Mode, Shinji was pretty much screwed. In Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru's Kid from the Future Masao interrupts Nago and Megumi's wedding to warn everyone of the Neo Fangire. The series ends with Wataru, Masao, Nago, Taiga and the Arms Monsters transforming and flying off to face the threat. Since this was the final episode, there was no apparent conclusion, but it was widely speculated that the Neo Fangire are members of Great Shocker, enemies of Kiva's successor Decade. Kamen Rider Decade "ends" with eight of the original Heisei Kamen Riders, plus the alternate Kuuga (brainwashed, crazy and in Ultimate Form) trying to kill Decade because his actions have apparently doomed the multiverse. In the middle of the fight, Diend runs in and sticks his gun right in Decade's face. Cut to Natsumi screaming out for him as a gunshot is heard. And then cut to a teaser for a second movie in December that will be the Grand Finale; Tsukasa's clearly shown having survived the skirmish. Thus, a subversion with the true question being why everyone's out for his blood. This initial airing also showed a movie trailer that has nothing in common with the eventually released movie (to the point where it seems like a spoof trailer). In repeats the ending was (for reasons unknown) altered to become an inversion/subversion: the battle between all the riders and Decade plays out exactly as shown in the dreams Natsumi has been having since the first episode, not just the nine from the first version of the episode. Decade suddenly uses powers he had not so far shown (glowing with power and being able to float in the air) and destroys all the riders, fulfilling the evil destiny he spent the entire series trying to avoid. It's implied that by killing the riders he has also caused the realities they come from to be destroyed. So either way, Decade will not leave you on a happy note. |

In the classic British comedy Dad's Army, set during WWII, the final episode sees the Walmington-on-Sea platoon called up to stand watch over the local coastline during an alert. The main characters, at this point a band of old men and one soppy youth, watching and waiting in the cold night and facing the threat of imminent Nazi invasion across the English Channel, nevertheless stand together, resolute, and think of their comrades all over Britain doing the same. They then toast the Home Guard - who faced the same hardships and threats with the same reaction, in real life - and the credits roll. | |

The manga ending to Bamboo Blade has Tamaki finally having her first match with fated rival Ura Sakaki. The story ends right in the middle of the match, without revealing who won. It's more hopeful than most examples, because what matters isn't who won the match, but that Tamaki and Sakaki finally have proper rivals to test their skills against. | |

Reservoir Dogs doesn't show Mr. Pink and Mr. White getting shot, but the shots heard in the credits imply it. Word of God (and a bit of buried audio that can be heard if you listen closely) have Mr. Pink living. In the background at one point you can barely hear him screaming that he was shot in the leg. This is actually brought up in the video game adaptation, with three possible endings, based on the Karma Meter. The neutral one is most likely Canon. Mr. Pink either dies, gets arrested, or manages to get away with most of the diamonds. | |

FPS title Painkiller ends with protagonist Daniel Garner fighting off a massive swarm of demons. It isn't the true, more confusing ending, though. Expansion pack Battle Out Of Hell reveals that he survived. Even more confusing is the "good" ending obtained through the replaying at the hardest setting where the True Big Bad is NOT faced because...well, he's already dead on the easier settings. The Bolivian Army Ending is averted as he doesn't go to hell and goes to heaven instead. | |

The HBO series Carnivà le ended its last season with a climactic showdown in which protagonist Ben and Big Bad Brother Justin each stab the other in the chest.

ReBoot: The series ends with Megabyte, who has been the main antagonist for the first four fifths of the show, suddenly reappearing and taking over Mainframe. This cliffhanger was resolved years later in an official webcomic. The good guys escape and flee to the supercomputer, and Megabyte ends up becoming The Dragon to a new villain. | |

Animorphs ended with Rachel dead, and Cassie pursuing a life of normality. Jake, Marco, and Tobias end up on a ship out in space, having just learned that Ax had been assimilated by The One, a new Big Bad. The final book ends with Jake giving the command to ram The One's ship, and whether they survive or not is left to the reader. | |

Tales for the Midnight Hour: Multiple stories end with the protagonist alive but still in danger. "The Ten Claws": The brothers wound the mysterious creature that killed the town drunk and barely escape with their lives. However, neither of them know that the creature is the grandmother who stays in their house, and it's uncertain whether she'll decide to attack again. "The Jigsaw Puzzle": A young lady puts together the self-proclaimed "World's Strangest Jigsaw Puzzle", which begins to bear an unsettling resemblance to her house. When she puts the last pieces in, it reveals half of a non-human face in the window. Turning to look, she sees the face in her window too. |

All of the Pusher films end this way. Amusingly, the films in the Danish series never reveal what became of the main characters from the previous films. In the first Danish film, Frank's spurned girlfriend steals the money that he needs to make a token payment to the druglord Milo, who is actually planning to kill him when Frank arrives to make the payment. Frank is left alone to face the many enemies he's made in the past week. The film ends with Frank catching his breath and grimly considering his options. In the English version of the first film, Frank chases after his girlfriend and manages to catch up to her cab. They hold each other's tearful gaze through the window of the car, and the film ends. We don't find out whether she forgives him and returns the money, and if so whether he survives the meeting with Milo. In the second Danish film, Tonny impulsively kills his crimelord father, steals his son, and boards the first bus out of town. He has no plan and has made quite a few enemies. We don't find out what happens to him. In the third Danish film, Milo has declared war with the much more powerful Albanian mob. He returns home and quietly smokes a cigarette beside his empty pool, seemingly resigned to his fate. We don't find out what happens next. |

The One ends with Yulaw having failed to kill his final counterpart Gabe to become The One and been defeated, but since the interdimensional police can't risk killing him without turning Gabe into The One, which could possibly destroy the whole dimension they're in, they opt to banish Yulaw to Hades Dimension, which is effectively a Penal Colony dimension. Yulaw is "greeted" by said prisoners as a fresh fish, but he makes it clear he's "nobody's bitch" and effectively takes on the entire dimension to establish his dominance. The last shot of the film is a panning-out shot of Yulaw cleaning house as prisoners from all over come charging at him. | |

One Piece: This happens twice to Mr. 2/Bon Clay. First, at the end of the Alabasta arc, he distracts the Marines as a decoy ship, and is left facing a Marine captain and several ships, but he survives, ending up captured and sent to the high-security prison of Impel Down. Later, he faces Warden Magellan, a man made from poison, in hand-to-hand combat in an effort to buy Luffy enough time to reach Ace before Ace's execution. Bon Clay's final words as he faces down certain death are "I have no regrets" with his make-up smeared and a grin on his face, while a whole battleship of pirates weep for his sacrifice. It's revealed he did survive and is the new Queen of the Okama underground. It's implied he survived long enough for Blackbeard and his group to arrive and beat Magellan. The end of the Whole Cake Island arc ended with the Straw Hats allies, the Sun Pirates and the Germa 66, fighting about some of Big Mom's pirates to give the Straw Hats time to escape Big Mom's territory. After getting confirmation they're out of the area, the groups about to retreat themselves... only for Big Mom to show up and ready to do battle. While we're not shown immediately what happened after that, it's revealed later in the Wano arc that the Sun Pirates did survive Big Mom with Jinbe managing to reunite with the Straw Hats in Wano. And as revealed in the "Germa 66's Ahh... An Emotionless Excursion" Cover Story, Germa 66 was not so lucky, having to save Niji and Yonji from Big Mom's Crew. They even took Cesar Clown with them whose fate until then was also unknown. |

Iczelion ends with the remaining Big Bad sending all his Robeasts after the heroines. A possible subversion, in that the tone of the scene is actually fairly upbeat. Supporting this is the fact that the OAV's trailer features a scene not found in the episodes themselves of what is apparently the heroines beating the ever loving crap out of the entire force. Watch through the credits, and you'll see them doing just that. Of course, since Chaos clearly isn't cutting his losses, the implication is that the fight for Earth is still just getting started ... |

With no apparent way out, and only a recently-established precedent for the grace of God to go on, they steel one another for the task, say their goodbyes, and charge out the front door...where they find that the bandits have surrendered without a fight to an Indian tribe from earlier in the movie. | |

Mega Man Zero: Mega Man Zero ends with Zero confronting a swarm of enemy soldiers. While his fate is not directly stated before or after the credits, he quickly slices one of the robots and a short variation of his theme plays, indicating he still has the odds in his favor. Subverted by Mega Man Zero 2, which reveals that he (obviously) survived as he has been wandering for an entire year afterwards. In Mega Man Zero 4, Zero stays onboard the falling Ragnarok space station while fighting the Big Bad. The last shot of the game (and therefore the series) is just of his helmet amidst the charred ruins of the station. Atypical of the trope, this was left completely ambiguous (especially since that's how most fans want to think). The Mega Man Zero official complete works, which is canon, mentions that his fate is unknown. |

The Thief has the main character pulling a fast one on the mob boss who’s blackmailing him and getting stabbed and left to die in an alley. He does have one more trick up his sleeve, throwing a coin to get the attention of a passerby, but the novel ends before the reader can find out if it worked. | |

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War has one just after the main character finally manages to fight his way back to his homeland, seemingly pardoned for the false accusations against him and his family. The whole army, meaning, in Fire Emblem terms, the 20-odd named characters with emotions, custom relationships and children are seemingly all captured and executed on the spot. Then the second half of the game picks up with the next generation. Some of the first generation characters are implied or stated to have survived, but the fate of most is ambiguous. | |

300: played straight, with the Persian army standing in for the Bolivians. Followed by a short denouement of the one surviving messenger telling the story of Leonidas and the 300's BAE to the Greeks about to fight the Battle of Plataea. The sequel features Themistocles and Gorgo charging into battle aboard the decks of the ships at Salamis against their Persian enemies. Once again, historically, the Greeks win that battle. | |

At the end of Mega Man ZX Advent, Model Z stays behind Ouroboros (History Repeats, essentially, since Model Z is based on Zero, and Ouroboros is a reassembled Ragnarok) to hold off the enemy Mega Men so Vent/Aile can rescue Grey/Ashe. The ambiguity of Model Z's fate is further enforced in the secret ending: when Master Mikhail learns that Master Thomas is Evil All Along, the still-alive enemy Mega Men teleport into the room, apparently in cahoots with Master Thomas. Like Model Z, Master Mikhail's fate from then on is unknown. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core has you play through Zack's final stand, Retconned so he faces off against seemingly the entire Shinra army. It has all the hallmarks of a Bolivian Army Ending except that you get to see the inevitable conclusion. The two alternate timelines of the VII universe diverge significantly on the outcome of this battle. In the original timeline, Zack is killed. In Final Fantasy VII Remake, he survives this specific battle. Final Fantasy Tactics's ending comes close to this. After defeating the Big Bad, the last thing you see from the hero's perspective is the battlefield exploding. Delita survives a similar explosion at the end of the first chapter, it should be noted...and Olan sees Ramza and his sister, apparently alive, some time after the battle. However, they don't seem to see Olan, implying that they may be visions or ghosts. Olan is also a classic Unreliable Narrator, as the entire story is told from notes he made as interpreted by a descendant. Dissidia Final Fantasy 012 lets you play as several really cool new heroes. You get to see them fight a literally endless horde of Manikins. The game is a prequel. |

The Mortal Kombat: Conquest series has such an ending. Throngs of extra-dimensional shadow priests march to conquer Earthrealm and kill all the heroes, Raiden is defeated by Shao Kahn, and Kung Lao's championship medallion is shown strewn on the floor. The plan for the 2nd season was a literal Deus ex Machina, with the Elder Gods pushing the Reset Button, as Shao broke rules by using the shadow priests. | |

Teen Titans pulls this on a villain. Dr. Light bows out of the final battle of the Brotherhood of Evil versus all the teenage heroes. He tries to pull off a heist on his own, but there's a massive team of Titans (and all their honorary members) waiting to pounce on him. The outcome is not shown, but obviously the odds are not in Light's favor. | |

This is basically Rand's Bad Ending in Super Robot Wars Z. If you made a bad choice earlier on, you aren't able to locate the true Big Bad in time and Space Time starts falling apart while your team is dueling the Disc-One Final Boss. It ends with a good portion of your team erased from existance including all your leaders and captains, Kei and Orson (who were needed to personally correct the space time problem) and Rand's sidekick which depresses him and causes him to fully embrace his Blood Knight nature. It ends with infinite copies of bosses showing up and the world continuing to fall apart, and the only people you've got left that haven't poofed into nonexistence, are all warriors like the Mazinger brothers, Getter team, Kira and Shinn, and of course Rand, none of whom have the slightest clue of how to fix space time. They opt to go down fighting and the game fades to silent, CGI less credits. | |

The arcade light-gun version of Alien 3 features a Weyland-Yutani enforcer as the final boss, sent to kill the space marines (the players) after they destroyed all of their "samples". After his death, a group of Weyland-Yutani soldiers greet the players. With a final "Let's go!", the soldiers charge forward as the screen fades to white. The text epilogue states that the marines' names were stricken from the USCM's records, and that no one knows if they are alive or dead. | |

The Ballad of Edgardo The story ends in an inversion, as the roleplay itself freezes in the exact instant when Edgardo is about to punch Xer0, the Big Bad and generally biggest dick in the forum, in the face with literally infinite power. Everything after that was the forumgoers going completely berserk on the out of character side of the board. The next day, the entire board was shut down due to "popular opinion". On a smaller scale, there is the fate of Goldnharl. After he betrays Xer0 and promises to help Edgardo on his quest, a huge horde of angry players catches up to the heroes. Goldnharl stays behind to fight the players alone while Edgardo and Squid make their escape. Edgardo never found out whether Goldnharl survived that battle or not. |

Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys does this with the titular turtle missing an arm in the midst of a burning city on the verge of being descended upon by a swarm of Gyaos. Though there's also the implication this time he actually has an army also on his side with mankind finally joining forces against the Gyaos, and unusually for a Kaiju film, the Gyaos are not Immune to Bullets so they can actually be of assistance. | |

Final Destination 3 ends with the last remaining characters boarding a train which crashes and gruesomely kills all three of them in various ways...before Wendy snaps from the premonition, looks around horrified, and then the lights flicker out with the sound of a train crashing.

The original Dawn of the Dead (1978) has the surviving characters take off in a helicopter to an uncertain fate. The ending as it was originally planned would see all characters get killed; the last shot of the film, under the end credits, would've shown their helicopter sitting empty with the rotor turning — for a few minutes, at least, before the engine ran out of fuel and the rotor spun down to a halt. | |

In the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead (2004) the movie ends with the survivors of the zombie plague escaping to an island, only to immediately learn it's infested with zombies. The video camera recording the scene gets dropped, and it's unknown if they make it back to their boat...which has run out of gas. Of course, you only get this ending if you stay through the credits. If you leave when the credits begin to roll, the film has a Bittersweet Ending; this was the director's original intention, until test-audiences complained. | |

Sparks Liner High, a bad end of Fate/stay night's Heaven's Feel route, couples this with an Exact Time to Failure. Shirou has defeated Saber Alter, but became braindead in the process due to overusing Archer's arm. Meanwhile, Saber Alter isn't dead, but needs ten minutes to regenerate from her injuries, at which point Sakura will summon her to defeat Rin, so Rin needs to defeat Sakura before that happens. The last scene is Saber Alter quietly reflecting that Shirou's fate will make this a Pyrrhic Victory for the winner. The Tiger Dojo session afterwards can't bring itself to chastise Shirou too much because he did his best. | |

Assassination Nation invokes this and subverts it. The last shot of the four protagonists are them together, facing the rioters who want them dead, guns drawn on both sides. The scene ends in a standoff, but there's about a hundred rioters against four girls. The last scene of the film depicts an FBI agent talking to Lily's father, saying that the person they're holding is likely to face imprisonment for the rest of their life for their crimes. Turns out, they're talking about her brother Donny, outed as the hacker who instigated the violence - and Lily's father yells at him that people died from his actions - but that his sister (Lily) almost died - so she, at least, managed to survive. | |

Kite (1998) ends this way. Sawa waits for Oburi to comeback from the store with snacks for her and food for the cats, but he is shot and killed by a girl he pissed off earlier in the film. The door where Sawa is staying opens. She looks towards the door and the film ends without her fate being unknown. This was eventually answered in the follow-up film, Kite Liberator. Sawa, now older and with dyed hair, is a waitress at a diner and is a single mother. She figures out that the young girl she works with is the assassin vigilante going around killing criminals. | |

At the end of Sorcerer, Jackie Scanlon (Roy Scheider) has delivered the explosives to the drilling site, and goes to drink at a bar, where he finally achieves a measure of peace for the first time. Unbeknownst to him, his former friend leads a group of mobsters (who he double-crossed early on in the film) to the bar in Ecuador where he is drinking. The mobsters surround the bar, and two of them walk inside, as the end credits begin, leaving it unclear if Scanlon will die or not. | |

In Stargate Universe: The film is referenced in the episode "Time", where an Apocalyptic Log from another timeline shows Rush flippantly uttering Butch's famous last words before jumping through a malfunctioning gate to his death, seeing it as a better alternative than being killed by the illness that the team is suffering from or the nocturnal bugs native to the planet. Later in the same episode, Rush utters this phrase once again, after they discover that the real cause of the illness is a parasite in the drinking water and that the nocturnal bugs might hold the cure, forcing them to go to the planet again. The episode finally ends with the team being wiped out again except for Scott, who decides to send a second Kino with their own Apocalyptic Log back in time, so both Kinos will provide enough clues to save themselves the next time around. The final episode after its cancellation. After being hounded repeatedly by a force of hostile robotic drones, the Destiny crew decides to go into a long term hyperspace jump and flee to another galaxy. However, to conserve power, they must put themselves into hibernation pods and shut down life support. Unfortunately, one of the pods malfunctions and Eli volunteers to try and fix it while the rest of the crew go into hibernation. The series closes leaving it uncertain whether Eli manages to fix his pod in time or not, much less whether the Destiny is able to escape the galaxy and its robotic pursuers. |

This was a recurring theme in the Blackadder series: The first series ends with everyone but Percy and Baldrick getting killed, the second series ends with everyone, including the Queen, getting killed. The third series is the exception, as it ends with only one of the main characters the Prince Regent getting killed, and Blackadder himself presumably taking his place as the future King George IV. Finally, Blackadder Goes Forth, the fourth in the Blackadder series, ends with Captain Blackadder and the rest of the characters about to make the "final push" on the Germans, although the audience knows full well that the war still has a year left to run. The series ends with shellfire and a fade to a field of poppies, and an implication that they all died. However, some versions released on video show the characters dying bravely but uselessly, making a comment on the obsolescence of individual heroism in a new age of industrialized warfare. Many viewers found it one of the most touching endings to a comedy program ever written. It was first aired in the UK 10 days before Remembrance Sunday, without a single complaint.note Technically speaking. One woman wrote to the Radio Times not because she thought it was in bad taste, but rather because she thought it was too realistic and depressing. | |

Doctor Who: "The War Games" ends with the Time Lords capturing the Second Doctor, retrieving the TARDIS, sending the Doctor's companions back to the time and place he picked them up from with their memories of their adventures wiped (which, for Jamie, was an almost guaranteed death in battle) and then exiling the Doctor to Earth after asking him to pick a new face, which we don't see thanks to Jon Pertwee having not been cast yet. "Orphan 55": Estranged mother and daughter Kane and Bella are last seen facing down a horde of Dregs as the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions are teleported away, with their survival looking unlikely. |

Call of Duty: The level "Of Their Own Accord" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ends with the player character, Private James Ramirez, trapped in the wreckage of a crashed Blackhawk (Ramirez's squad was protecting a civilian evacuation, and got hit by a SAM). As Russian troops approach the crashed Blackhawk, Ramirez's M4 runs out of ammo, Corporal Dunn gets shot, and an enemy helicopter hovers over, shining its searchlight straight at the player as the screen fades to white. The next level putting you in the shoes of a soldier half the world away. The level "Second Sun" returns to Ramirez, letting them replay everything mentioned above, but then revealing how the actions of Captain Price in the last level end up saving him and his squad. The end of "Down the Rabbit Hole" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Price, Yuri, and the Russian President get into a helicopter as Team Metal stays behind to hold off the Ultranationalist army. While you could argue Team Metal is enough of a Badass Crew to survive that, the entire mine they're fighting in collapses on them (after the helicopter escapes - and is in fact why it needed to leave), making the chances of their survival slim. A similar event in the Call of Duty: World at War mission "Eviction". As Reznov is trying to force open a door in a subway, a torrent of water floods the entire tunnel. The game then cuts away to a mission in the American campaign. In the next Russian mission, "Heart of the Reich", the player character is shown to be just fine. |

Crysis 3 subverts this. In the ending, Prophet is flung into orbit by the Alpha Ceph's wormhole and is floating helplessly as he watches the Ceph warship coming through the portal while wondering if there was anything he could have done differently. The screen then goes black...but the loading screen tip indicates that the Nanosuit can maintain functionality in a low-oxygen environment for a while as long as it's on low power. Sure enough, immediately after, Prophet snaps out of his funk, sees the Archangel laser satellite, and uses it to destroy the warship. | |

Blake's 7: The final episode ends with Avon surrounded by Federation soldiers and everyone else on his side apparently dead (with Blake, at Gareth Thomas' specific request, killed off). The sound of a firefight is played over the closing credits. This was done deliberately with the intention that, if the series was renewed, they could easily kill off any character whose actor did not re-sign their contract while having the characters of returning actors survive the shoot-out. The fact that the series was not renewed for another season means that the fate of every character is intentionally ambiguous - and never resolved. | |

ALF had this ending, with him being surrounded by the Alien Detection Squad of the USA. Of course, this one actually had a planned sequel, which NBC screwed them out of. Ironic, though, since ALF mentioned the Trope Namer itself in an earlier episode when police trapped him inside the neighbors' house. It wasn't until the Project ALF movie came in 1996 when Alf was shown alive and well, though not without new problems. | |

Then Shao Kahn appears and proclaims he's there for their souls. Cue Raiden quipping "I don't think so" and the heroes assuming an Ass Kicking Pose. Cut to credits. …And then the sequel happened. | |

When Bucho threatens to kill Carolina, Marichi produces his pistols and opens fire on Bucho and his gang as the scene fades to white. Cut to Mariachi and Carolina checking on a wounded kid in a local hospital as if nothing happened. Word of God says that the battle was actually filmed, but had to be taken out in order to keep the film from being rated NC 17 for violence—the kiss of death for a mainstream action movie. | |

The series ends with Wataru, Masao, Nago, Taiga and the Arms Monsters transforming and flying off to face the threat.

While the ending to Friends (1971) is not particularly violent, things look very bleak for the romance and common-law marriage of the happy young couple. Ever since Paul ran off with Michelle, his father has been out looking for him. Just before the end, we see that he's found his son's employer and is waiting for Paul to show up for work the next day. The end has Paul waving farewell to his wife and child and them waving back; then the frame freezes and the credits roll. The sequel Paul and Michelle indicates a Downtime Downgrade, though the Offscreen Breakup never goes onscreen. Also, the two are shown to be determined to get back together again. | |

Final Fantasy Tactics's ending comes close to this. After defeating the Big Bad, the last thing you see from the hero's perspective is the battlefield exploding. Delita survives a similar explosion at the end of the first chapter, it should be noted...and Olan sees Ramza and his sister, apparently alive, some time after the battle. However, they don't seem to see Olan, implying that they may be visions or ghosts. Olan is also a classic Unreliable Narrator, as the entire story is told from notes he made as interpreted by a descendant. | |

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina: Het Nkik, a Jawa who's sick of his species being everyone's Chew Toy, buys a blaster and goes after an Imperial patrol after they kill his brother (one of the Jawas who sold R2-D2 and C-3PO to the Larses). His story, written by Kevin J. Anderson, ends with him jumping out of hiding and repeatedly firing at the stormtroopers. The next story, written by Anderson's wife Rebecca Moesta, makes it into a "Shaggy Dog" Story with The Reveal that a fellow trader stole his blaster's power pack. And then the story after that goes straight into Shoot the Shaggy Dog when one of the stormtroopers kills Het Nkik for, essentially, being annoying. But at least that's the last straw for Davin Felth, who decides to defect soon after. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation T.R.I.P. is a Villain Episode about oneshot villains Interesting Twins from Beneath the Mountain tailing Numbuh 3 across Japan, thinking she will lead them to the Japanese KND branch. At the end of the episode, the trail is a dead end (Numbuh 3 was visiting her grandmother, actually her fellow Sector V agents) and the twins have a Villainous Breakdown that ended with them falling from the top of a mountain. They just had to say that things can't get any worse until they are greeted by the four "extras" they ran into earlier in the episode, who then reveal themselves to be the actual Japanese KND. The episode ends with the Japanese KND surrounding the Twins (who look like they are too injured to move) ominously... | |

In Mega Man Zero 4, Zero stays onboard the falling Ragnarok space station while fighting the Big Bad. The last shot of the game (and therefore the series) is just of his helmet amidst the charred ruins of the station. Atypical of the trope, this was left completely ambiguous (especially since that's how most fans want to think). The Mega Man Zero official complete works, which is canon, mentions that his fate is unknown. | |

In Colson Whitehead's zombie novel Zone One the main character, Mark Spitz, has survived untold horrors and countless encounters with the zombie hordes that have overtaken America. The frame narrative has Mark working in a newly cleared area of New York City that they plan to clean up and open to re-occupation - aka Zone 1. Things seem to be going great, however by the end, zombies are overrunning the city and when a close friend dies, Mark exits the building they were hiding in, and wades out into the mass of zombies now swarming the streets. And that is where the novel ends. When the author was asked if Mark survives in the end as he had so many times before, he just shrugged. | |

One of the episodes of The Comic Strip Presents ends this way. It's the episode "Fistful of Traveller's Cheques" where the ending is a homage/parody of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. There is a wonderful pause before the ending where the viewer wonders whether it's really going to happen... | |

At the end of Sands of the Kalahari, O'Brien, aware he will be prosecuted for murder if he returns to civilization, chooses to remain behind when the others are rescued. With O'Brien the sole human in their domain, the baboons become more belligerent. At first he is able to keep them at bay with his rifle. When he runs out of ammunition, O'Brien brazenly challenges the alpha male to a fight and succeeds in killing him with his bare hands. In the film's final shot the remaining baboons encircle the lone hunter and ominously amble towards him. | |

At the ending of Vexx, the titular character has defeated the Big Bad in his home dimension, and is preparing to retreat back to the portal leading out. However, the aftermath of the battle ends up destroying the path leading to said portal, leaving Vexx stranded. The final scene is of Vexx preparing to face off against ever increasing numbers of the dimension's lesser denizens as they surround him. This game was actually supposed to have a sequel, but the developing company broke apart before that could happen. | |

Elfen Lied (well, sort of): after Lucy is shot by an entire squad of badass soldiers, one of her horns can be seen flying up into the air. Though after sitting through the ending theme, one comes across the real ending, which shows a shadow that looks like Lucy/Nyu, arriving at the inn gate some time after the shoot-out...so chances are it was just a Disney Death. The manga on the other hand quite clearly shows her melting while fending off multiple battleships with her vectors. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi has had some personal Bolivian Army endings for several chapters. Starting with the end of chapter 311. Mauve shirt Johnny and Kaede took on far more than they could handle in 312. 313 took Kotarou, Asakura, Yue, and Makie out in similar fashion. Makie and Yue's being very much like the trope namer in that the pair talk politely on getting together with friends back home before the next page and they have been defeated. | |

In the Lone Wolf bonus adventure "Aboard the Intrepid", if you make some truly terrible decisions, you can end up fighting your first mate and entire surviving crew, a total of 21 consecutive combats (and none of your opponents is a pushover). The book doesn't say what happens if by some unfathomable miracle you actually win, which is theoretically possible; presumably you drift aimlessly until your food runs out, you fall to a pirate attack or some other calamity you no longer have the manpower to prevent, or you decide not to put off the inevitable and take your own life. This doesn't count as a successful completion for the adventure, which is really too bad, as it's by far the hardest ending to get in the entire series! | |

The Devil's Rejects ends in a subversion of this: The protagonists are driving toward a police roadblock, guns blazing. It's subverted in that, while it cuts out before they actually die, we see them being pumped with so many bullets that their survival is anything but ambiguous and they were presumably killed before they made it through. | |

Cyberpunk 2077: In "The Sun" ending, Johnny temporarily takes control of V's body to enlist the help of Rogue, raids Arasaka alongside her and ultimately completes his quest for revenge by killing Adam Smasher, though at the cost of Rogue herself. Following the splitting of V and Johnny, Johnny chooses to let V keep their body. V spends the following months managing the Afterlife and living the high life, having left their mark on Night City as a legend, but ultimately, with only weeks left to live before the effects of the Relic catch up to them, V takes on one last job: robbing an Arasaka casino on a space station resort. Whether or not V comes out of it alive, they don't care; after all, their number was called a long time ago. | |

The anime for Durarara!! leaves Izaya's fate up in the air. A lot. At the end of the second season, he's last seen being stabbed and falling unconscious in the middle of the street. However, we later find out he survived and is recovering in a hospital. At the end of the third season he is knocked unconscious by a possessed Sloan and captured. Then at the beginning of the final season he gets rescued. In the finale, Izaya is beaten and shot by Shizuo and Vorona, though Simon intervenes and the scene changes. His final appearance is in a car with Kine and Manami, having survived thanks to Celty temporarily patching his wound with her shadows. Kine tells him he only has a fifty-fifty percent chance of living and that they are going to see an underground doctor. Izaya replies that it's fine as long as they aren't in Ikebukuro, as he doesn't want Shizuo anywhere near his deathbed. In the light novels, he gets his own series as it is confirmed that he survived, though not unscathed. In Durarara!!SH, no one ever references him as being alive and he is more of a ghost in terms of plot relevance. |

Mega Man Mega Man Zero: Mega Man Zero ends with Zero confronting a swarm of enemy soldiers. While his fate is not directly stated before or after the credits, he quickly slices one of the robots and a short variation of his theme plays, indicating he still has the odds in his favor. Subverted by Mega Man Zero 2, which reveals that he (obviously) survived as he has been wandering for an entire year afterwards. In Mega Man Zero 4, Zero stays onboard the falling Ragnarok space station while fighting the Big Bad. The last shot of the game (and therefore the series) is just of his helmet amidst the charred ruins of the station. Atypical of the trope, this was left completely ambiguous (especially since that's how most fans want to think). The Mega Man Zero official complete works, which is canon, mentions that his fate is unknown. At the end of Mega Man ZX Advent, Model Z stays behind Ouroboros (History Repeats, essentially, since Model Z is based on Zero, and Ouroboros is a reassembled Ragnarok) to hold off the enemy Mega Men so Vent/Aile can rescue Grey/Ashe. The ambiguity of Model Z's fate is further enforced in the secret ending: when Master Mikhail learns that Master Thomas is Evil All Along, the still-alive enemy Mega Men teleport into the room, apparently in cahoots with Master Thomas. Like Model Z, Master Mikhail's fate from then on is unknown. |

The demo of Mafia II ends with Vito Scaletta and Joe Barbaro driving Henry Tomasino who got shot during a hit right in front of a police blockade on a bridge with the screen fading to black and saying you can find out in the full game. In the full game the bridge is free of cars and the blockade never happened. Even the full game ended in a cliffhanger - Joe's fate was left to the player's imagination, although references further supporting his death can be found in the game's asset files. Mafia III reveals their fates. Vito was Reassigned to Antarctica, where he was forced to work for the Marcano family in New Bordeaux far away from the big families. Joe ended up as Leo Galante's chauffeur. |

Cloverfield ends with the two surviving protagonists huddled under a bridge as the U.S. Army executes the HAMMER-DOWN Protocol-i.e. carpet bombing and possibly even nuking Manhattan. It is implied that neither the monster nor the protagonists survived, but the viewer is not allowed to know for certain. "It's still alive," can be heard after the credits. Word of God says it's dead. With a sequel now in development, this could easily go either way. | |

The famous ending of The Sopranos finale "Made in America" uses this somewhat. Fans have long debated whether the cut-to-black means somebody shot Tony, or if a deeper symbolism is in play. | |

Sabotage (2014) ends with Breacher, wounded after a shootout, sitting down and having a last drink and cigar as he presumably bleeds to death, but it cuts to the credits before he does so. | |

Transformers The final scene in Transformers: Scramble City is Megatron summoning Trypticon into battle and preparing to face off against Metroplex before it cuts to the credits. Transformers: Operation Combination ends with a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, but ends in the middle with no end resolution. As part of the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue of Transformers: Cybertron, Starscream escapes from the Pocket Dimension and Wing Saber, Mudflap, and Landmine rush to battle him, with the outcome undetermined. |

Discussed in Full Metal Panic! when Sousuke, Kaname, and Kurz are cornered by the enemy, outnumbered and outgunned: Kaname recalls seeing a movie that ended this way, and she and Kurz briefly discuss what is obviously Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, resolving to go out the same way. Of course, it's only the sixth episode of a series with twenty-four. Kaname also expresses a dislike of this trope, preferring movies with a Happy Ending. Unfortunately she says the last bit too loud, and nearly brings about the trope when a firefight breaks out then and there. | |

The anime Noir ends with Action Girl Mirelle and Emotionless Girl Kirika renouncing Noir and the Soldats and literally just walking away. They always survive whatever's thrown at them, but by this point they're badly beat up, sick of fighting, resigning...and then the screen goes blank and two shots are heard. What actually happened is highly debated in the fandom. | |

Kamen Rider Decade "ends" with eight of the original Heisei Kamen Riders, plus the alternate Kuuga (brainwashed, crazy and in Ultimate Form) trying to kill Decade because his actions have apparently doomed the multiverse. In the middle of the fight, Diend runs in and sticks his gun right in Decade's face. Cut to Natsumi screaming out for him as a gunshot is heard. And then cut to a teaser for a second movie in December that will be the Grand Finale; Tsukasa's clearly shown having survived the skirmish. Thus, a subversion with the true question being why everyone's out for his blood. This initial airing also showed a movie trailer that has nothing in common with the eventually released movie (to the point where it seems like a spoof trailer). In repeats the ending was (for reasons unknown) altered to become an inversion/subversion: the battle between all the riders and Decade plays out exactly as shown in the dreams Natsumi has been having since the first episode, not just the nine from the first version of the episode. Decade suddenly uses powers he had not so far shown (glowing with power and being able to float in the air) and destroys all the riders, fulfilling the evil destiny he spent the entire series trying to avoid. It's implied that by killing the riders he has also caused the realities they come from to be destroyed. So either way, Decade will not leave you on a happy note. | |

The Doctor Who New Adventures novel So Vile a Sin features the Doctor's companion Roz Forrester returning to her ancestral seat as a senior member of one of the Great Houses ruling the Earth Empire in the 30th century. The Doctor knows her House is going to get involved in a war and warns her repeatedly that if she becomes involved he will not be able to save her. The book ends with Roz making up her mind to join her family in the fighting and she ends up leading a charge "up the hill into history". | |

Law & Order: UK: The final episode "Repeat to Fade" ends with a cliffhanger. Will Ronnie accept the new position he's been offered, despite being fully aware of and offended by its Kicked Upstairs status? Or will he resign/retire outright? The episode ends with neither question answered, but with Bradley Walsh leaving the show, it would have had to be one or the other...except that the show has ended as well, meaning that we'll never know. | |
