Sometimes, people are just absolutely sure about how events will play out. In their eyes, it's already a Foregone Conclusion. They're so sure, in fact, that they feel the need to stress how it's not a matter of if things will turn out like they believe. It's a matter of when. Note that this trope requires putting particular emphasis on using when and not if; a statement that casually assumes a future event will happen doesn't count. Also, this trope doesn't necessarily require the statement to end up being right. In fact, examples of this are often followed by Break the Haughty or double as Tempting Fate. Can overlap with Badass Boast if it's a statement about accomplishing a difficult task. Sub-Trope of Insistent Terminology. |

Hercules: Inverted for Pain and Panic, who take comfort in using "if" instead of "when" in the slightest possibility that they may not face Hades's wrath. When they fail to kill Hercules as a mortal baby, Panic says, "Hades is gonna kill us when he finds out!" Pain then replies, "You mean if he finds out," to which Panic says, "'If.' 'If' is good." Hades does eventually find out, though, and punishes them. The duo have a similar exchange at the end of the movie when Herc knocks Hades into the River Styx: "You mean if he gets out of there!" | |

Brassed Off: When the closure of the coal mine is looking very likely, there is a relay of "if" and "when" this might happen, reflecting the optimism or pessimism of various characters and how most of the band players intend to pack in the band if the pit closes. | |

Babe: Arthur Hoggett decides to enter a county fair contest to guess the titular pig's weight. As he leaves, one of the two contest organizers at the stand tells him they'll call him if he wins, only for the other to insist, "When you win, Arthur! When you win!" since Hoggett was the only person who was able to pick up Babe without the pig squealing. Sure enough, Arthur gets a phone call the next day telling him he won the pig. | |

The Arithmancer: In the last arc of the sequel Annals of Arithmancy, Hermione is accused of treason for proposing a controlled takedown of the Statute of Secrecy, with the ICW fearing a repeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald's attempt to have wizards rule over muggles. However, Hermione insists that due to the proliferation of cameras and computers, the law will inevitably fail eventually and it's better to manage it than be blindsided. | |
