Some customers are just too tough to stay in the afterlife after they've checked out of the land of the living. Hell is supposed to be God's inescapable Alcatraz, but can any prison be truly called escape-proof? This type of character usually has Unfinished Business in the world of the living. Not even being locked up in the underworld will stop them from their purpose, even if they have to carve a bloody path through The Legions of Hell to get out. Since Satan likely isn't very fond of anyone escaping his grasp, his minions may still be pursuing the escapee on Earth. They could be described as a revenant, though sometimes they may only exist on Earth as incorporeal souls. This also raises the question of whether they can truly be considered "alive" or "dead", and if being killed would send them right back or make them Deader than Dead. Whether they return to the afterlife after their work is done also varies; maybe they go right back where they came from, but some ascend to Heaven instead for all the good they've done. Or they just stay on Earth, having grown fond of the outside. The inverse of Dragged Off to Hell. Contrast To Hell and Back, where the heroes take a voluntary trip into Hell to wreak some havoc. Compare Rescued from the Underworld, when someone else broke them out of Hell; and Barred from the Afterlife, when they were kicked out of Hell. Compare Deliverance from Damnation, which is about the soul being brought from Hell to Heaven (without necessarily having to return to Earth on the way). |

God of War: Chains of Olympus has Kratos do this with the Greek equivalent to Hell and Heaven, although this is a semi-deliberate act, since he was charged by the gods to find Helios (the god of the sun), and Hades is where his search led him. It fits, instead of being just a To Hell and Back scenario, as he's killed by Charon shortly after arriving. | |

In Pact this is a standard origin for Revenants, the restless dead, who are driven to return to Earth by The Power of Hate no matter how many times they are killed. Bogeymen have a similar origin; generally, victims of catastrophes or those who have otherwise been forgotten and slipped through the cracks of society and the world, they end up trapped in the Drains, an Eldritch Location where they are ground down to the most basic aspects of their being and then claw their way back to the real world. | |

When Papa Smurf uses the magic egg to undo all the wishes his little Smurfs have made, that Smurf shows up returned from hell with a pitchfork in his hand. | |

Parodied in Problem Sleuth, where, upon dying, characters are sent to the Afterlife (where they play various board games with Death), which they can simply open the door to and return to the land of the living, no "Fighting your way out" required (although Bumblebee Prof. gets sent to a different afterlife that doesn't seem escapable, and a more traditional Fire and Brimstone Hell is shown at some point). Later on, the door gets blocked, preventing any further escapes. | |

Old World of Darkness Characters of the game Wraith: The Oblivion can under certain circumstances claw their way back into the lands of the living as Risen. Even though they just reek of The Crow, the white face paint is not obligatory. This is also the nature of the Kuei-Jin from Kindred of the East - damned souls who clawed their way out of the Ten Thousand Hells and back into their mortal bodies. The player characters in Demon: The Fallen are minor fallen angels who escaped from the Abyss when its walls cracked under the Sixth Maelstrom and latched onto human hosts to stay in the mortal world. There are also the Earthbound—much more powerful demons who instead escaped via diabolists' summons and possessed inanimate objects instead. |

In Black Hammer, Lucy Weber gets stranded in Hell by Lonnie James, leaving her at the tender mercies of the Devil. However, Lucy had just recently become the new Black Hammer, one of the most powerful superheroes in history. She promptly uses her new powers to beat the ever-loving shit out of hordes of the Devil's minions and threatens to continue doing so unless he lets her out. The Devil, humbled and chastened, meekly opens a portal for Lucy, telling her "Just... just go." | |

The ground promptly splits open beneath Robin's feet, and he falls into the fiery pits of Hell.

This may be possible in the D&D setting Eberron. The first stage of the afterlife (no one knows about what comes after you've faded away there) is simply another plane. A plane that will quickly sap you of the will necessary to leave it and has lots of powerful guardians, but a regular plane nevertheless. And considering the setting's pulpy larger-than-life attitude towards heroes... | |

However, while the heroes have trained and become far stronger in the meantime, the villains haven't, making dispatching them far easier. In Dragon Ball GT, the villains who had been previously killed by the Z-fighters escape again, this time thanks to Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu opening a portal as part of their plot. The villains are once again, defeated easily. |

Supernatural John Winchester seizes the opportunity to claw his way out of Hell when the Hell Gate opens during the season 2 finale. In the Season 4 premiere, Dean crawls his way out of his own grave, having escaped somehow from Hell. He has no idea how he did it until the final scene of the episode, when Castiel, an Angel of the Lord, reveals he rescued Dean because God has plans for him. In the Season Finale of Season 4, Sam accidentally breaks the final seal and unleashes Lucifer from his cage in Hell. In the Season Finale of Season 5, the final moments reveal that Sam has somehow returned from Hell after pulling Michael and Lucifer back into the cage. The next season explores how it happened. |

The second time, it only takes him 500 years. The third time, a few days. The fourth, a couple of hours. He is simply too pissed to die. | |

The Reincarnation (2008) flash series of Adventure Games shows that escaping Hell is actually really easy since it just require taking a portal back to the human world. The player is an imp tasked by "Luke" to find the "Reincarnies", find proof that they're still evil (they always are) and send them back to Hell while making it look like an accident. | |

Tony's response to this is to fight off both the minions of Hell and a demonic apparition of his father, and then use the power of technology to escape. All in the span of about thirty minutes, which may or may not set some sort of record where Badass Normals are concerned. | |

This happens later on in Trails in the Sky The 3rd, with the twist that it's not actually Hell, but functionally the same thing: an exact replica of Hell as depicted in the world's scriptures. This is due to the game taking place inside a Lotus-Eater Machine that brings desires to life, and the protagonist being a priest and former Knight Templar church-sanctioned assassin who believes he deserves to go to Hell for his crimes. Overlaps with Rescued from the Underworld, as while the two main characters fight their way to Gehanna's gates, the gates themselves are broken down by the rest of the party from the outside. | |

Slightly Damned Rhea was sent to the Ring of the Slightly Damnednote It's where you're sent if the bad you committed in life outweighed the good by only a tiny bit (in function it's basically Purgatory but with more rocks) outside the true Hell and with the help of the kind-hearted demon Buwaro and his adoptive sister Sakido they are able to get to the Pillar of Light leading out of Hell but Sakido dies in the process. Later we learn that it's the goal of Hell's rulers (while the soldiers believe it to be the plan of their god Syndel) to abandon Hell and take Medius as their own and that they need to sacrifice living angels to create more of the gateways to do it. |

Bleach: Hell Verse: The villains of the movie have this trope as their goal. To fully escape Hell, Shuren and his men lure out Ichigo and try to use his Hollow powers to destroy Hell's gate, so they can escape for real. It later turns out that this is not enough to escape Hell. The true Big Bad, Kokuto, explains that as long as Hell's chains are connected to their bodies, it's impossible to escape from Hell. Kokuto needs Ichigo's powers to destroy his chains, and in the end, he succeeds, but as Laser-Guided Karma kicks in, Kokuto gets more chains attached to him and is dragged to the deepest depths of Hell. | |

In Godzilla in Hell, Godzilla finds himself in the underworld after having accidentally destroyed the entire planet and refused to submit to God's will. But not even the weight of eternal damnation in the deepest pit of Hell itself is enough to stop the King of the Monsters. He finds demons disguised as temptations? He just plows right through them. He finds himself facing his old foes one after another? He one-shots all of them. He finds himself in a war between angels and demons? He ignores either side. He gets trapped in an eternal battle? He finds a way to break out. He finds himself facing an unclimbable mountain with an enormous Eldritch Abomination at the peak? He lets himself get Devoured by the Horde, and reveals he's Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth, as his essence assimilates the demon horde, which obliterate the mountain and abomination in one shot. | |

TaskMaker: When you die, you have to make your way through a fiery maze in Fire and Brimstone Hell without your weapons back to the living, while avoiding respawning devils. ....however, you get sent to Hell if you "cast a spell" with a swear word in it. (Or use an item like a Hell Scroll or Adam's Apple that Randomly Drops). Ironically you get to keep your weapons in this case, and you can fire a weapon through the fire "walls" and the devils don't go through them. If you hit a devil with a boomerang enough times, they'll die.... | |

God of War: Kratos does this in God of War, and again near the beginning of God of War II — although that time, he isn't really ALL the way down there before he turns around and claws his way back out again. God of War: Chains of Olympus has Kratos do this with the Greek equivalent to Hell and Heaven, although this is a semi-deliberate act, since he was charged by the gods to find Helios (the god of the sun), and Hades is where his search led him. It fits, instead of being just a To Hell and Back scenario, as he's killed by Charon shortly after arriving. God of War II: The Barbarian King beat up the guards of Hell with his giant hammer and rode out the gates on his fleshy fire horse. God of War III: Kratos does this once again, this time making sure to kill Hades. By this point Kratos doesn't even seem remotely concerned about finding himself dead; it's not like it has ever bothered him yet. When the franchise moved to Norse mythology, he wound up having to break out of that underworld too. |

The escape of Lord Soth from Ravenloft is quite possibly the weirdest case of this trope ever. He escapes from Ravenloft (essentially, a trap for various 'darklords') by not giving a crap. Soth basically accepts that he deserves to be tormented by the Dark Powers and admits his failures. He refuses to rise to anything they present him with, be it despair or hope; eventually, realizing that it's pointless to keep him around since he won't respond to anything they do, the Dark Powers release him from Ravenloft.note This is the Watsonian explanation; in Real Life Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman decided to Retcon him out of the setting. | |

Ninjago doesn't technically have hell as one of the Sixteen Realms, but it does have the Underworld, which is a dark world beneath Ninjago populated by Skeletons, as well as the Cursed Realm, an Eldritch Location full of ghosts. There's also the Departed Realm, although that's implied to be a version of Heaven rather than Hell. Lord Garmadon has been to and has ultimately escaped all three. | |

Gaming Guardians: When the defunct Scarlet Jester spots his friend in Hell, he starts a massive breakout with the sole goal of meeting the Devil and cutting a deal for said friend's salvation. Turns out the friend had already made such a deal, betting his own soul against Jester's that if Jester noticed him in hell he'd stop at nothing to break him out; having won his bet, both are free. | |

Team Fortress 2: In Halloween of 2011, a second boss monster was introduced called MONOCULUS! who had the power to drag nearby players into the underworld. Luckily the underworld is only about 100 square feet, and if you can reach the exit before your health is drained (or before victims on the other team kill you) you escape back to the mortal realm with full health and temporary invincibility, damage, and speed buffs. | |

In Dante's Inferno, Dante and Virgil escape Hell by going down through all nine increasingly horrible circles of Hell and out to Purgatory on the other side of the world. In line with his fondness for irony, it means while most of the residents would be trying to climb up its unscalable walls, rather than thinking of going down to suffer more, those willing to suffer greatly as punishment for their sins may be able to leave. Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle's Inferno (Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle), which uses Dante's specific settings and descriptions, has the protagonist escape hell after dying from a careless accident, with a little help from Benito Mussolini. |

Hades: Trying to accomplish this trope makes up the story and setting. Zagreus, son of Hades, tires of being forcibly held inside his father's house and forced to aid in the family business while the rest of his family is on Olympus. Cue Zagreus carving his way out of Hades, room by room, in a Roguelike Hack and Slash as Hades sets the denizens of his domain against his wayward son and bringing him back home every time he's killed. It turns out that he can't actually live on the surface for more than a few hours... which doesn't stop him in the slightest. He eventually gets good enough at it that it becomes his actual job, as Hades needs someone to identify security loopholes. | |

In the manga adaptation of the Kirby series, Kirby dies and is sent to Hell after eating all the food in Heaven. There he defeats the Devil (played by Nightmare) and makes Hell more "fun", with attractions such as a mountain-of-spikes ring toss and a lake of boiling red wine instead of blood. This becomes obnoxious and Dark Mind is relieved when Kirby leaves (somehow by holding on to the tongue of Gooey). | |

Bringer of Death: Perfect Cell manages to sneak out of Hell by following the same path as Vegeta, Goku and Pikkon, and gets past the Test Of Character by mimicking the required positive energy, but when he tries using Instant Transmission to escape the afterlife from Snake Way, the very fabric of existence itself dumps him right back at the check-in station. As it turns out, it's impossible for anyone from the afterlife to exist in the real world (with the only exception being the people given special bodies for the Kai's Warrior Heaven). To prevent Cell from simply escaping Hell constantly and wreaking havoc at the check-in, Vegeta and Goku are forced to completely obliterate his soul, leaving him Deader than Dead. | |

In one episode of Poltergeist: The Legacy, Nick's older brother escapes from hell with a demonic hunter in hot pursuit. It's subverted when the hunter reveals to Nick that the only way to truly escape hell is to offer the soul of a loved one to replace your own. Nick's older brother had offered up Nick. In the end, his brother couldn't go through with it and sacrificed himself to save Nick and returned to hell in the process. | |

Doom. The Marine dies at the end of the first episode. Three episodes later, he finds a portal back to Earth as the ending text says he was "too tough for Hell to contain". Doom (2016) also plays with this in a Broad Strokes manner; instead of the Doom Slayer dying and subsequently escaping from Hell, he was instead imprisoned by demons out of fear that they couldn't truly destroy him. The sarcophagus he had been trapped in was subsequently retrieved by Dr. Samuel Hayden and a team of Praetorians before being brought to the UAC facility on Mars, where he wakes up. | |

The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: The sequel Picking up the Pieces mentions this as having happened in the past, when a Bugbear escaped from Tartarus prior to the events of the Changeling attack on Canterlot, and resurfaced during the Crystal World War. It was consequently caught and re-imprisoned. Averted by Tirek, who is mentioned in the same story as having been intercepted by a Guard troop during his escape attempt from Tartarus and personally re-imprisoned by Princess Celestia. Centuries later, during her rescue mission into Tartarus that resulted in her promotion to Captain General, Gentle Step personally confirmed that he was still there. |
