While most characters are introduced at the beginning of a series or story arc, sometimes somebody doesn't get to show up until the end of the last episode; they may not even get to speak. This can be a not-so-subtle way for the creative team to ask for another season: obviously, the fans will want this character to actually be in some episodes. Or it could be done when the team knows that another season is planned, and they will be able to incorporate this character in the new season. Occasionally, if the series has a larger franchise surrounding it, the character might be from one of these side-materials, whom the writers couldn't fit into the main work but still liked enough to give them at least cameo before ending everything. If a sequel is not planned, the new character may act as closure via Passing the Torch, more broadly showing the influence the main character(s) had over the course of their adventures, or simply showing that life will go on as usual, especially in the case of settings where characters (major and minor) tend to come and go. Compare with God Created Canon Foreigner, 11th-Hour Ranger, Early-Bird Cameo under Continuity Cameo. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows introduces several new characters, most of whom had at least been mentioned before due to the series's very liberal use of Chekhov's Gunman: Albus Dumbledore's sister Ariana is introduced as a Posthumous Character early on without ever having been mentioned before. Downplayed with his brother Aberforth, who’d been mentioned several times directly and indirectly and actually had brief appearances during Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince but wasn't properly identified until the final book. Harry even notes he looks familiar when he briefly meets him but can’t put his finger on why. Bathilda Bagshot is mentioned in passing as early as the first book as the author of Hogwarts: A History but appears for the first time midway through the book. She's a major example of One Degree of Separation as a long time resident of the quazi-Wizarding village Godric's Hollow. She's a family friend of the Dumbledores, previous Big Bad Grindelwald's great aunt, and a neighbor of Harry's parents when he was a baby. She's also dead by the time Harry and Hermione "meet" her. Grindelwald himself is only ever mentioned in the first book on Dumbledore’s chocolate frog card, never to be be mentioned again until this book. He plays a significant role in the Dumbledore backstory b-plot but doesn’t appear in the present until about 2/3 through where he commits Suicide by Cop via Voldemort. Luna's dad, Xenophillius, is known to own a conspiratorial newspaper but doesn't appear until Bill's wedding at the beginning of this book. He also appears a little later in the story when he tells Harry, Ron, and Hermione about the Deathly Hallows. Several characters who were born during the nineteen-year Time Skip between the climax and the epilogue. |

The World Ends with You: The mobile port of the first game adds an extra image after the credits showing a then-unnamed girl (Tsugumi Matsunae) who would ultimately go on to show up in NEO: The World Ends with You. NEO itself has the Angel Hazuki "Haz" Mikagi. He doesn't show up until the game's final day (and then doesn't appear again until The Stinger of Another Day), but he manages to have quite an impact on the plot in spite of this. |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, the final character available, Gotoh, joins in the last chapter. In the remake Shadow Dragon, you can either get him as normal or get a different character (Nagi) by completing a secret level right before the final battle. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: The final character available (Athos) doesn't join your party until the final chapter. For bosses, it's possible to fight the gaiden chapter-exclusive Kishuna in the second-to-last chapter of the game, without having previously encountered him in one's play-through. When this happens, Nils gives the other characters a brief explanation of Kishuna's Anti-Magic seal before the battle; otherwise, he'd use this moment to describe how much more sorrowful Kishuna's aura is, in contrast to the more hostile previous encounters. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the Laguz Royals become playable in the last part of the game and if the player fulfills the requirements, they can get Sephiran for the final battle. |

RWBY does this extensively to build hype for the next season. In Season 1, Penny and Sun Wukong both debut in the final two episodes, while The Stinger reveals two new villains, Emerald and Mercury. In Season 2, Velvet's team-mates Coco, Fox and Yatsuhashi debut in the lead-up to the finale. In Season 3, Weiss' father has a brief cameo, forcing her to return home to Atlas with him, setting up her Volume 4 storyline. Season 3 also has Salem, the series Big Bad who doesn't make her first physical appearance until the very last scene of the third season. Season 4's last scene before the credits introduces the headmaster of Haven Academy, Professor Leo Lionheart. Not much of him is shown, but his first onscreen appearance reveals that he's the informant Watts was ordered to meet at the beginning of the volume, and, according to Watts, he's been in league with Salem for a while now. |

The all-important Madeline Bergman doesn't make her first appearance in Metroid: Other M until right before you've beaten the final boss, and she doesn't tell the player who she is until after the boss is dead. At which point she unloads a whole truckload of new plot exposition and character motivations. This is considered by most to be one of Other M's bigger missteps in the story department. | |

Grand Chase Dimensional Chaser has Lapis (who got her name after being released as a new playable character), who appears at the end of World 9, after Decanee's villainous story arc. After the Grand Chase heads back home after defeating Decanee, the scene changes to Nelia, with Veigas and another demon resembling Dio, only to be interrupted by someone coming in. That person is Lapis, asking "what propositions does she have for her", which is the very last scene in the ending. | |

The Shepherd's Crown, the final Discworld novel, introduces and is partly written from the perspective of an entirely new witch character. Of course, the afterword reveals that it wasn't intended as the final Discworld novel, because Sir Terry simply didn't think that way, and indeed he had plans for even more new characters. Whether he also had plans to revisit this one will sadly never be known. | |

Although calling it the last "episode" is not quite accurate, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's story mode, The Subspace Emissary, Sonic the Hedgehog makes his first appearance at the last possible second, showing up in the cutscene immediately preceding the final boss. | |

Fate/EXTRA: Most of the game is spent focusing on the Holy Grail War, in which Leo and his Servant Gawain are built up as the most powerful enemies the player has to face. It’s not until the end of the game that the audience is introduced to the hidden mastermind of the tournament, though sharp-eyed players will remember seeing his name mentioned multiple times before: Twice H. Pieceman, and his Servant, Saver. | |

Dying of the Light has Kirak Redsteel. A poet unconnected to any of the main players, he is oft-mentioned but never seen until the last chapter when a white-bearded old man strolls up to muse on some long dead Old Kavalar poetry. And he's even nice enough to arrange duels. | |

In Book 40 of The Railway Series (which, then, was Christopher Awdry's final book) the final story features a new engine, who is named "Ivo Hugh" on the last page. Unfortunately, the publishers scuppered the plans to publish any more Railway Series books (they did eventually do two more), meaning that Ivo Hugh hasn't had his personality developed. | |

Copy Kitty: In the 12th and final world of Boki's Hard Mode (a continuation of the Normal campaign), during the 3rd stage, the game abruptly cuts to static with two unseen characters tracking her progress and spying on the simulation. The next stage barely has time to load before a character named Isotope suddenly breaks into the simulation to challenge Boki to the most serious encounter in the game and Boki's True Final Boss. The dialogue strongly suggests a future encounter between the two will take place. | |

In the Charmed (1998) comic continuation, the finale hinges on a medium named Amelia Desmots, who only appears in the last three issues. It's also a case of Remember the New Guy?, because she clearly knows the sisters. There was going to be a canon tie-in book explaining how they met her, but it's been put on indefinite hiatus. | |
