Naturally, when something bad happens, people tend to not want a repeat of it. Though some are content to just live their life, there are some times where the people involved will do things to ensure that whatever caused the conflict isn't just going to resurface. If the conflict is a war, and both sides come to a truce, there may be an effort to permanently address the grievances of one or more parties, such that there won't be potential for another war over the same issue in the future when the peace treaty is an old memory. (e.g. If one party started the war because of a lack of key resources, such as food, there may be a mutual effort by both parties to build something which will provide a steady supply for time to come so there won't be a need to fight over food or whatever the resource was again.) If the conflict involves Sealed Evil in a Can, there may be an active effort to ensure that it is destroyed for good so that future generations won't have to bear the burden of resealing the creature again. Sometimes, a character might scare another into not restarting the conflict. If the conflict started because of something a character did, said character may vow to never do it again, though they could subvert this via Aesop Amnesia. Sometimes, a character may get up and leave. And sometimes, the trope might be subverted by it happening again for no apparent reason at all. Generally, this serves to add more positivity to an ending by giving the characters a more hopeful outlook on the future. For something to fall under this trope, there needs to be a deliberate effort to a course of action specifically to prevent a repeat of the conflict — if the conflict is something that can't be repeated just because of the nature of how it was dealt with, but there wasn't an explicit declaration of an intent to do something in particular to prevent such a repeat, it doesn't count. (e.g. if the MacGuffin driving the conflict is incidentally destroyed in the final battle in order to deprive one side of the ability to use it at a crucial moment, it wouldn't count — but if said MacGuffin were destroyed by a third party in an effort to get two others to give up their fight, or if it's destroyed or disposed of as part of a truce, it would count.) Compare Let Us Never Speak of This Again, in which the effort is made to forget the event, but otherwise nothing else is done. Contrast I'm Not Doing That Again and We Are Not Going Through That Again (in which a character(s) says out loud that he/she/they refuse to perform an action again, although whether or not they are successful depends on the circumstances and is often shown by the next scene cut), The Story That Never Was (for when a Cosmic Retcon undoes the whole plot), History Repeats (for when a historical event happens again), Never Be Hurt Again (which is one probable reason why these tropes are enacted), "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot (where it's acknowledged the plot could have been avoided), Put on a Prison Bus (when the villain is arrested so they won't do any more harm) and Here We Go Again! (which this trope tries to defy). Could be used to stop a Vicious Cycle, or overlap with No Man Should Have This Power, An Aesop, Radish Cure, A Lesson Learned Too Well, Persona Non Grata, or Status Quo Is God (though just as often, it's an inversion of Status Quo is God). Warning: All Ending Tropes are Spoilers Off by default, so proceed with caution. Examples |

The Casagrandes: Played with at the end of "Monster Cash", where Carl promises not to scam anybody again after he thinks a demon is punishing him for scamming.note It's actually his grandmother, Rosa, dressed as a demon. However, according to the family parrot Sergio, he's made similar promises before and always broken them, and in later episodes, he does go back to scamming. | |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Seeking to preclude SkyNet from ever being created, the protagonists visit Cyberdyne Systems, where they obliterate the place with explosives. Afterward, the only remnants of terminators are 1) the chipset that Dyson had been reverse engineering, 2) the robotic arm of the terminator from the first TheTerminator movie, and 3) the reprogrammed T-800 that has been aiding Sarah and John Connor. The first two pieces are tossed into a steel smelter, and the T-800 makes a Heroic Sacrifice to expunge all traces of terminator technology. Alas, a Stable Time Loop demands that terminators must exist, so SkyNet finds alternate means of coming into existence in future installments. | |

Subverted in The Silmarillion. The War of Wrath between the Valar and the fallen Valar turned Destroyer Deity Morgoth is immensely destructive with countless dead, including sinking the continent of Beleriand beneath the sea. As a result, the Valar decide to no longer use their power to directly intervene in the war against evil to prevent such destruction in the future. Subverted in that, unfortunately, this makes things all the more difficult when one of Morgoth's lieutenants creates problems down the line. | |

CSI: NY: In "Command+P", a young man develops a way to 3-d print a working handgun and sets up a meeting in a bar with an investor named Andy Stein. Unfortunately he encounters a guy named Andy Lewis first, doesn't verify his last name and launches into his spiel. Lewis follows him home, shoots him with the prototype, and steals the printer and software. Later he fatally shoots someone else with it. The investigators are now faced with two shooting deaths without ballistics, serial numbers, etc. After they figure it out and confiscate everything, Mac tells Jo that once the trial is over, they'll send the printer to a local university and keep the software locked up in evidence in hopes that no one else will start printing unlicensed, untraceable guns at home. | |

In the Serendipity Books book Feather Fin, the titular fish Feather Fin is curious about what's above the sea, despite his mother's warnings. He crawls onto the shore and realizes too late that, as a fish, he can't breathe oxygen, and he nearly suffocates until a wave pushes him back into the ocean. Afterwards, he vows never to go to the surface again. | |

The Expanse: At the end of Season 6, James Holden uses Loophole Abuse to put Camina Drummer in a legitimate position of power within the new Earth-Mars-Belter coalition, whereas Avasarala wanted to maintain Drummer as a sympathetic figurehead to quell any further Belter rebellions. Holden points out that the "Inners" will have to give the Belters some real concessions in the future, as their constant abuse of the Belt colonies has already resulted in one devastating interplanetary war and gave terrorist warlords like Marco Inaros the ability to gain so many supporters. | |

The Simpsons: Parodied in the episode "Radio Bart": the only measure the town of Springfield takes to prevent someone from falling again in the well that was the cause of all of the episode's drama is to place a teeny-tiny sign close to it that reads, "Warning: Well". Parodied in the episode "Bart's Comet", which ends with the titular comet entering Springfield's polluted atmosphere and then burning itself into a harmless rock. The townsfolk then immediately storm the observatory to destroy it in the belief that this will make sure this never happens again. |

Alien: Isolation: Henry Marlow, the person who originally found the Xenomorph and accidentally brought it to Sevastopol station, becomes obsessed with destroying all trace and records of the creature by any means necessary. He tries to cause the entire station to self-destruct and take himself, Amanda Ripley, and any other survivors with him so that there could be no chance of anyone else learning about the creatures or where they come from. In his mind, the only way to prevent mankind's inevitable extinction at the hands of such monsters is to make it impossible for humanity ever come in contact with them ever again. Unfortunately for Marlow, for all of his efforts Weyland-Yutani already knows of the xenomorph and will just continue to try to acquire a specimen in the future, with the same bloody results. | |

When he plays Pokémon Black, the Pikachu he caught reveals herself to be Jessica, and she tears him a new one for his carelessness. Cameron apologizes to her, and she decides to forgive him. At the end, Cameron says that he has not deleted the save file of any of his games since, and he has made sure not to destroy them again so that he will not incur Jessica's wrath. | |

This is the objective of air crash investigations, as depicted in documentaries like Mayday: the primary objective of the investigation is to identify the cause of the crash and see what actions can be taken to prevent a reoccurrence. While issues like human error or unexpected weather are outside of manufacturer or airline control, technical flaws and oversights aren't. Examples of this include reinforcing certain parts of the airframe (e.g. to prevent doors being torn open in flight), adjusting training procedures (e.g. so an aircrew works as a team rather than a captain being a dictator), or changing rules and regulations (e.g. ion lithium batteries are no longer allowed to be transported in cargo and must be hand-carried). | |

Star Trek: Discovery: After a season is spent fighting a time traveling Artificial Intelligence that came from the future to destroy all sentient life, it is decided that the only way to avoid a repeat is to completely erase all knowledge of the event. This includes destroying all references to the Klingon time crystals, the time travel capable suit created by the Starfleet's Section 31, declaring the USS Discovery destroyed in battle against a rogue Section 31 Captain, removing all references to Commander Michael Burnham to the point that Spock's future Captain and crew mates will never even know she existed, and swearing any one with knowledge of the event to secrecy upon penalty of death for treason if they ever mention the event again. | |

Doctor Who Magazine: In "Thinktwice", the Doctor infiltrates the titular inter-galactic prison which is being run by a mad doctor, who removes the inmates' memories of who they are until they're nothing more than moaning, braindead vegetables; feeding their minds to eldritch abominations which grow impatient and go on the rampage. At the climax, the Doctor tells one of the prison staff that he has to ensure Thinktwice is closed down and that the intergalactic authorities know what's happened so that the mad doctor can never repeat his crimes again. | |

In The Anglo/American – Nazi War, once the Allies end World War 2, they become determined to ensure that a conflict of its sheer scale can never happen again. This means permanently dividing Germany into 15 districts, and orbitally bombarding the city of Stettin, killing 275,000 people, because there was an armed bid at reunification within its borders. | |

Arc of a Scythe: At the end of the third book Scythe Faraday activates the failsafe the original Scythes created in case the system got out of hand. The failsafe is a disease that kills random people at regular intervals and it also removes the Scythes' ability to kill people. The series was caused by the Scythedom becoming filled with sadists twisting its ideals so removing their power keeps this from ever becoming a problem again. | |

Sesame Street: In one song, the main character kisses a "blueberry-beaked budgie", but then that leads to him contracting a strange disease that makes him lethargic and grow blueberries on his head. The song ends with him refusing to kiss any more fruit-themed animals. In one skit, a bear, after being chased by a swarm of bees, decides to never mess with bees again. Subverted. One episode involves Abby casting a spell on Elmo and Zoe, causing a lot of hats to stack on their heads, which leads to total chaos. At the end of the episode, she promises never to use the spell again, but this promise doesn't work since she accidentally casts it. |

Final Fantasy XIV: This is invoked by Alexander itself at the end of the Alexander raid series. Only one instance of a primal can be summoned at a time, preventing multiple factions from summoning the same primal. With full knowledge of this, Alexander suspends itself in a single moment in time after trapping itself in a Stable Time Loop, ensuring that Alexander can never be summoned again to threaten the world with its potential to drain the land dry of aether. Nidhogg's eyes are used as a source of aether to summon the primal Shinryu, a being that threatens to bring about another Calamity with its sheer potential for destruction. After the events of Stormblood, Estinien destroys eyes with his lance at the site of Shinryu's demise, ensuring that they can never be used for evil again. In the later patches of Shadowbringers, Merlwyb sees the opportunity to end Limsa Lominsa's Forever War with the Kobolds and the Sahagin when Alisaie and G'raha develop a cure for tempering. Now able to negotiate with the leaders of both tribes, Merlwyb swears to end the feud and is willing to let patriarch Za Da shoot her if it means another peace treaty can be signed. This approach soon extends to the rest of the city-states, who offer reconciliation and peace to end the constant cycle of war and primal summoning. By the end of Shadowbringers, executive leaders representing each of the tribes arrive in Ala Mhigo to pledge their support for the Grand Company of Eorzea. This cements their new friendship with the city-states and marks the end of regular primal summoning in Eorzea. |

Beast Wars Neo: It's eventually revealed that some time after Unicron's original defeat in Transformers: The Movie, both Autobots and Decepticons under Optimus Prime and Galvatron respectively called a truce to move his remains to a place called the Triple Z Point. note This was presumably in response to events in the third season of The Transformers, where in "The Ghost of Starscream" it was revealed that Unicron's head (orbiting Cybertron ever since his body was destroyed during The Movie) was still active and he was very much still a threat. The Legends manga further expands on these events: when Unicron's head was brought to the Triple Z Point where much of the wreckage of his original body had already been moved, his worshippers arrived and sacrificed themselves en masse to recreate his physical body, resulting in a desperate battle between the combined Autobot-Decepticon army and the reforming Unicron. In the aftermath, not only was Unicron's life force spread out at random throughout the galaxy and his remains left to rot, both sides agreed that the Triple Z Point was completely off limits out of fear that if Unicron revived once, he might do so again. It's telling that even by the time of Neo (several thousand years after the events of The Movie), the Triple Z Point has been left undisturbed. That's how terrified everyone was of the possibility of Unicron reviving. | |

Transformers: The War Within: The Dark Ages: Taking place during a time period when both Optimus Prime and Megatron have gone missing and the Autobot and Decepticon armies have fractured into multiple smaller factions, the mysterious and nigh-unstoppable Transformer only known as The Fallen attacks and kidnaps four Transformers (Hot Spot, Grimlock, Jetfire, and Blitzwing) as part of some sort of plot. He also recruits the Chaos Trinity, a trio of Transformers who believe in magic, to his cause by granting them actual powers. In the aftermath of the Fallen's defeat (brought about by a literal Deus ex Machina as the Creator God of the Transformers briefly manifested and annihilated him with a gesture), the various factions place several locks on the seal he was trying to open to ensure no one faction would ever be able to try to finish the job. | |

"The Sword of Kahless" involves two Klingons fighting over the eponymous sword, to the point of becoming homicidal towards each other. At the end, Dax throws the sword into space to prevent more fighting. In "Dr. Bashir, I Presume?", it's revealed that in response to the wars previously caused by genetically enhanced people, the Federation had outlawed genetic enhancements and restricted the rights of genetically enhanced individuals. For this reason, Dr. Bashir, who is genetically enhanced, had taken great effort to hide this fact. |

Though it's one of many dilemmas, Trent's machinations in creating the Volstruckers horribly traumatized Caleb and he is a powerful antagonistic force against the Mighty Nein. In the end, they have him incarcerated and unable to use his magic, ensuring he may never harm any innocents ever again. Furthermore, Beau and Caleb keep an eye on the remaining member of the Cerberus Council, Ludinus, to prevent more strife. Subverted as of Campaign Three, as their efforts largely fail to stop Ludinus' plans. | |

The entire story arc of The Lord of the Rings trilogy involves destroying the One Ring of Power, forged by Sauron to take control of the kings of elves, dwarfs and humans. Sauron's Evil Plan nearly succeeded in giving him absolute mastery over Middle Earth, until King Isildur severed the hand of Sauron in combat, depriving him of the ring. Alas, Isildur could not destroy the ring, and it was lost during an ambush, ultimately lying in a creek bed for centuries. When the One Ring is found, it isn't immediately recognized, but when it is, a party of adventurers is formed to unmake it in the fires of Mount Doom. This done, Sauron's Soul Jar is also destroyed so that he can nevermore threaten Middle Earth. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Skin Of Evil", after they save Troi from Armus, the Enterprise destroys the wrecked shuttlecraft and puts a beacon in orbit warning all ships to stay away from Vagra II. In "Clues", aliens erase a day from the crew's memory so they won't find out about their existence. However, it doesn't work since the crew notices some things are out of place (Crusher's moss displays a day's worth of growth, Troi is dizzy and feels her reflection isn't herself, and Worf's wrist is injured). The crew decides to let the aliens wipe their memories a second time, but this time, ensure no clues are left behind so the conflict won't start again. In "Schisms", some sensor modifications attract aliens from another dimension. Once they're dealt with, Geordi says that they'll change the modifications to not interact with that particular dimension again. At the end of "Descent", Data dismantles Lore, his Evil Twin, so that he can no longer do any damage. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "Armageddon Game", after the biological weapon used in the war between the T'Lani and the Kelleruns is destroyed, the governments of the T'Lani and Kelleruns decide to kill off anyone with the technical knowledge about it, to ensure that the virus in question will never be recreated.

For this reason, Dr. Bashir, who is genetically enhanced, had taken great effort to hide this fact. Star Trek: Voyager: In "Memorial", the Voyager crew keep getting PTSD-like symptoms, which turn out to be because of a device intended to remind some aliens of a war (in hopes of preventing another war). At the end, Janeway decides to put up a warning near the device so that no other people will go too near and have the mental tampering. Star Trek: Discovery: After a season is spent fighting a time traveling Artificial Intelligence that came from the future to destroy all sentient life, it is decided that the only way to avoid a repeat is to completely erase all knowledge of the event. This includes destroying all references to the Klingon time crystals, the time travel capable suit created by the Starfleet's Section 31, declaring the USS Discovery destroyed in battle against a rogue Section 31 Captain, removing all references to Commander Michael Burnham to the point that Spock's future Captain and crew mates will never even know she existed, and swearing any one with knowledge of the event to secrecy upon penalty of death for treason if they ever mention the event again. |

Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal have the Doom Slayer, a being quite feared for being a One-Man Army with a relentless hatred towards demonkind and all who ally with them. At the beginning of 2016, he's freed from his shackles and returns, in a very critical time, to his previous "task" after the UAC screws quite a lot with using Argent Energy as a fuel source. The fact that he's the Doomguy from the original Doom, Doom II, and Doom 64 might help with this notion. At the end of the The Ancient Gods, Part II DLC for Eternal, he kills Davoth, the Dark Lord and Creator of all creation, however since the Doom Slayer's lifeforce is tied to Davoth's own lifeforce, he also falls to the floor and is enclosed in the coffin again. The quote at the beginning of 2016 and end of The Ancient Gods Part II firmly establishes how much of a desperate measure his freeing was: | |

Father Mulcahy decides to arrange a swap on the Black Market and accepts whatever others are willing to donate to obtain the medicine. Maj. Winchester is cajoled into donating some of his fine wine but insists on coming along to try and talk the Black Marketeers into a lower price. He ends up insulting them, is stripped down to his long underwear, and they nearly leave empty-handed, until Mulcahy realizes the Black Market thugs be distracted with drinking the wine they acquired. He and Winchester succeed in stealing the needed penicillin. Col. Potter is impressed that Mulcahy took Winchester along. | |

In Snot Stew, Kikki and Toby hear their owners' kids having contradicting arguments, so they decide to do the same thing and think it's a game called "snot stew". Toby goes too far with it and steals Kikki's food, and he ends up getting stuck in the fence due to his Balloon Belly. His tail gets torn off by a vicious dog named Butch, so he and Kikki promise each other not to play "snot stew" afterwards to keep an incident like that from occurring again. | |

The Loud House: Zigzagged in "Ties That Bind" — the Loud children eavesdrop on their parents, Rita and Lynn Sr., talking about getting rid of something and assume it's them when it's really Lynn Sr.'s ties. At the end, Lincoln vows never to eavesdrop again, but when he overhears Lynn Sr. tell Rita she has "a bun in the oven" when he meant literally, it's implied he may eavesdrop again anyway. However, the episode ends before we find out if he eavesdrops again. Subverted in "Fool Me Twice" — Luan promises not to prank her family again after her family claims they're moving house to prevent being pranked by her. However, it then turns out that her family were just pranking her back, and in later episodes, she's back to being a prankster. |

The Brittas Empire: In "New Generations", Carole gives birth, but thanks to Brittas, she ends up being tended to in a sauna by a vet. A series later, in "The Stuff of Dreams", Helen, remembering this incident, asks Laura to take her to the hospital for when she gives birth, figuring that with Brittas out of the way, she would get a normal delivery. Of course, Brittas ends up driving her and she ends up giving birth in the middle of the high street anyway. | |

Blade II: Near the movie's ending, the vampire king Eli Damaskinos reveals he has a tank full of experimental vampire fetuses in his lair because he's been trying to create modified vampires that can walk in sunlight, and his experiments created the Reaper virus which both the heroes and vampires have spent the movie trying to contain. After Blade kills Damaskinos' lieutenant Reinhardt and goes after Damaskinos himself, Whistler goes out of his way to destroy the tank, ensuring that Damaskinos' work can't continue and will die with the villains. | |

Bluey: In "Onesies", Brandy gives her two young nieces onesies. However, one of the favourite games of the youngest one, Bingo, is to pretend to be the animal she's dressed up as, leading to her running rampant pretending to be a cheetah. At one point, Chilli (Bingo's mother and Brandy's sister) decides to just ban onesies from the house. In "Butterflies", the Heeler sisters and Judo play a game together that involves pretending to be caterpillars that grow into butterflies. However, Judo thinks Bingo is taking too long in the "chrysalis", so she convinces Bluey to run away from her. Later, after Bluey realises she was in the wrong, both sisters run away from Judo to teach her a lesson. When the three girls make up, Bluey says that from now on, nobody is allowed to run away. |

Little Princess: In "I Want My Voice Back", the Princess loses her voice and so uses a bell to get the grownups' attention. When her voice returns, she pretends it's still gone because she likes using the bell. Once she's caught, she whispers to the offscreen voice that talks to her that she might still use the bell sometimes... but then we cut to Scruff the dog burying it, so she won't be able to. | |

Karmic Backlash: In this Recursive Fanfiction to The Karma of Lies, the whole mess of this duologynote to make a long story extremely short, it's yet another "salt fic" and neither Lila nor Marinette come across smelling like roses by the end eventually deconstructs the "Recruit Teenagers with Attitude" trope by putting the blame on the Miraculous holders and Marinette as a Guardian having too much "attitude" and not enough emotional maturity, to the point the Guardians come to take the Miracle Box away in the story's epilogue and make clear there is no way in Hell they are going to allow recruitment standards to become this loose ever again. | |

In the 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later tie-in graphic novel 28 Days Later: The Aftermath; the final book ends with Sophie killing Clive, a surviving scientist who helped create the Rage virus, so that what his creation has done to the entire mainland of Great Britain can never happen again. Tragically, Weeks shows that that's what happens, with the film's ending implying that it'll ultimately be even worse and more widespread than the first outbreak that destroyed an entire country. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: In "Christmas Every Day!", Timmy wishes to be able to celebrate Christmas Every Day so he can get more toys and spend more time with his parents. Unfortunately, as a result of his wish, snow piles up everywhere, the banks, stores, and schools remained closed, Santa runs out of ideas for new toys, being obligated to keep giving children what they ask for, the elves go on strike due to an increased workload, and the other holiday mascots try to destroy Santa so they can celebrate their own holidays. Timmy is unable to undo the wish at first since the entire fairy population transfers most of their magic to Santa Claus so he can deliver gifts to the whole world. When the wish is finally undone thanks to Timmy convincing the children of the world to ask Santa for December 26, a new rule is added to "Da Rules" to prevent any fairy godparent from granting another "I Wish it Was Christmas Every Day" wish ever again. | |

In most of the Jumanji films so far, the titular game is destroyed or otherwise put away in a fashion which the people who dispose of it hope will make this trope happen, but the damned thing is harder to get rid of than that: The first film's prologue has two brothers burying the game deep in the New England woods in the 1880s only for it to be discovered by Alan Parrish in The '60s, and that film ends with Alan and Sarah tossing the game into the river, only for the epilogue to show that it emerged on some beach in the Middle East in 1995. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle starts with Spencer and his unwanted Ragtag Bunch of Misfits discovering the game in a room in their school (which had turned into a videogame cartridge when a previous player decided not to play because it was a tabletop one) and ends with them smashing the cartridge and console with a bowling ball to prevent anybody from playing again. Jumanji: The Next Level begins with Spencer repairing the game because he felt it was the only place where he could be awesome. The film then makes perfectly clear near the end that Jumanji can never be destroyed, with another player unleashing its power. |

This forms the bulk of Final Fantasy X's endgame: the characters spend the first two-thirds or so of the story trying to defeat Eldritch Abomination Sin the traditional way, knowing that it's likely to come back again in ten years like it always does.

Beast Wars: In the episode "Chain Of Command", Optimus Primal was captured by the Predacons and the remaining Maximals were hobbled by the fact that they don't have an actual plan for this situation. An attempt at voting for a new leader failed due to being split down the middle, until Optimus managed to send a message putting Rattrap in charge. In the aftermath, the Maximals organised a proper chain of command in order to prevent such a blunder from happening again. Invoked in the backstory of Rampage. He was created by the Maximal Elders in an attempt to duplicate the immortal Spark of Starscream note In The Transformers Starscream famously continued to exist as a ghost after his death in Transformers: The Movie, in Beast Wars this was claimed to be because he had a mutant Spark. They succeeded... but the resulting creature (codenamed Protoform X) was a murderous maniac who, among other things, massacred an entire space colony and ate some of his victims. After he was finally captured by Depth Charge, the Elders disposed of all the project's data (even going so far as to completely seal up Starscream's records so no one would ever try to duplicate his immortality again) and tasked Optimus Primal with dumping X on some dead world far from any civilisation. This had some unintended results: due to Primal and his crew getting drawn into the Beast Wars, Megatron was able to forcibly recruit X into his ranks. Even more unexpected was when Starscream himself manifested during the conflict, and the fact that the Maximals had no idea who he was due to his records being sealed put them at a huge disadvantage. Luckily, former Predacon Dinobot was more familiar with Starscream thanks to the Predacons not sealing their records. |

Transformers (2019): Two completely separate attempts at doing this have repercussions by the time of the series' events. The first was a rampage by a being known as the Abomination, created when a group of Cybertronians happened upon the Enigma of Combination, an ancient artifact that allowed them to combine into a gestalt entity. This monster rampaged across the planet, guzzling precious Energon until finally being defeated by Dai Atlas and his comrades. The resulting Energon shortage was so dire that starvation became a genuine danger, and in the aftermath, the Autobots sought to seal away the Enigma only to discover it had already vanished in the chaos. The more serious one was the War of the Threefold Spark, brought about by Exxarchon. He was a respected and well-loved figure who travelled extensively but was corrupted by entities unknown into a twisted monster with the ability to take over other Cybertronians' bodies, snuffing their Sparks out in the process note This title of "Threefold Spark" came from how he could simultaneously exist in a maximum of three such bodies, and felt an instinctive, desperate need to always inhabit three separate bodies. Autobot leader Nominus Prime felt that Exxarchon had been twisted by those angry at Cybertron's aggressive expansion, which was backed by their gigantic Titans (as well as the necessity of taking over new worlds to get enough resources to keep the Titans fueled and in working order). To prevent such a devastating war from happening again, he put a halt to colonial expansion, repurposed the Titans as a defense-only fleet, had as many deadly weapons as he could find sealed up, and "encouraged" troublesome or dangerous individuals to find their way in the colonies rather than remain on Cybertron itself. By the time the series begins, while it's acknowledged that the Nominus Edict was absolutely the right call at the time, several characters warn that it no longer serves a purpose other than stifling Cybertronians as a whole, culminating in the Ascenticon political party outright launching a coup. |

Warrior Cats: The cat possessing Bramblestar spends the seventh arc, The Broken Code, using the warrior code to tyrannically persecute those who break it and getting away with it because he is believed to be the Clan leader, and the Code says the leader's word has the force of law. He especially targets cats who had forbidden lovers in other Clans, which includes two of the arc's main characters, Bristlefrost and Rootspring. The difficulty of making an illegal relationship work delays the two from getting together, and in the end Bristlefrost dies before they have a chance. The arc ends with the Clans changing the Code to avoid such a thing happening again. Now leaders can be deposed if enough of the Clan votes to have this happen, and there is a legal way for cross-Clan lovers to switch Clans and be accepted into a new one. In Code of the Clans, One-Eye and Dappletail nab some fish from RiverClan out of curiosity. Hailstar and Pinestar try to talk them out of it, but they stubbornly insist on trying it. The two find out too late that they can't stand the taste of fish and beg the higher-ups not to make them finish it. After that, they decide never to eat fish again. |

Wile E. Coyote Lost Episode: The narrator becomes so frightened by the graphic violence of the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner DVD that they crush it and throw it out in the hopes that no one else will watch it. They then warn the audience not to watch the episode if they find it anywhere. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative: In the aftermath of the disaster that was the pursuit of the Phenex, all data and information about Newtypes and the Psycoframe technology was sealed away as something humanity was just not ready for. By the time of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, the term "Newtype" is for all intents and purposes a bedtime story told to small children. | |

King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella: Princess Rosella gets captured by the minions of the evil fairy Lolotte. One item Rosella must fetch to satisfy Lolotte is Pandora's Box, hidden in a mountain tomb. Once the evil fairy is defeated, Rosella returns Pandora's Box (unopened) to the tomb. There, she locks the door with the key, then kicks that key under the door, precluding anyone from opening that door again. Smart girl. | |

The Transformers (Marvel): After the devastation left in the aftermath of the arrival of the Transformers on Nebulos, the Nebulans developed a formula that poisoned all their fuel sources in order to create a hostile environment for any Transformers who came calling. The Decepticons Darkwing and Dreadwind ground to a halt due to this poisoning, and a group of Autobots led by Goldbug who came to Nebulos hoping to revive Optimus Prime likewise found themselves on the brink. In the aftermath of the UK-exclusive "Time Wars" storyline (where space and time almost collapsed due to the presence of Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge, exacerbated by Cyclonus dying more than twenty years before he was even created), both Future Autobots and Decepticons resolve to destroy all their time machines in order to prevent even the remotest chance of such a catastrophe happening again. |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Memorial", the Voyager crew keep getting PTSD-like symptoms, which turn out to be because of a device intended to remind some aliens of a war (in hopes of preventing another war). At the end, Janeway decides to put up a warning near the device so that no other people will go too near and have the mental tampering. | |

Played with in A Lion in the Meadow. In it, a boy notices a lion in the meadow, but his mother thinks he's "making up stories". She tries to humour him by making up a "story" of her own — that a match box has a dragon in it, which will grow to full size and chase the lion away. However, the story turns out to be true, and there is a dragon. Originally, the story ended with the mother refusing to make any more stories up lest they come true, but later editions omitted this ending since Margaret Mahy feared it would make children afraid to make up stories. | |

Max and Ruby 0004: Subverted at the end. After viewing the disturbing content of the Max and Ruby DVD, the narrator smashes the disc and stuffs the pieces down the sink's drain to avoid having to watch it again. Though nothing unusual happens for a while, he later gets a note from an anonymous source that says, "Death is our only release" (something that had been said in the aforementioned DVD). | |

Invoked in the backstory of Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen during the conflict between the Dynasty of Primes and their wayward brother The Fallen. Before engaging The Fallen, they destroyed his servants first, then sealed up his Star Harvester using the Matrix of Leadership, and only then tried to face him directly. Their intent was to ensure that after they defeated him, they'd be able to safely dismantle the Star Harvester at their leisure. However, The Fallen had secretly powered himself up beforehand, and what was meant to be this trope wound up becoming a Heroic Sacrifice Taking You with Me on the part of the Primes that left The Fallen a Sealed Evil in a Can. | |

Captain Underpants: George and Harold made a ton of Captain Underpants comics which some of them made fun of their teachers and a classmate named Melvin Sneedly. It also made the boys hypnotize their mean principal into Captain Underpants and were forced to help him out. At the end of "The Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot", George and Harold quit making Captain Underpants comics due to the fact that the character has caused them enough trouble already. So they created DogMan comics instead. | |

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared: The very first episode ends with the cast being told to "get creative" by the Notebook, which spirals into a nightmarish scene of the puppet cast being replaced with people in costumes doing creepy things, while cuts to the real cast reveal them to be having seizures. At the very end, Notebook declares, "Now let's all agree, to never be creative again", seemingly having realized just how bad of an idea it was to "get creative." | |

Transformers: The Transformers (Marvel): After the devastation left in the aftermath of the arrival of the Transformers on Nebulos, the Nebulans developed a formula that poisoned all their fuel sources in order to create a hostile environment for any Transformers who came calling. The Decepticons Darkwing and Dreadwind ground to a halt due to this poisoning, and a group of Autobots led by Goldbug who came to Nebulos hoping to revive Optimus Prime likewise found themselves on the brink. In the aftermath of the UK-exclusive "Time Wars" storyline (where space and time almost collapsed due to the presence of Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge, exacerbated by Cyclonus dying more than twenty years before he was even created), both Future Autobots and Decepticons resolve to destroy all their time machines in order to prevent even the remotest chance of such a catastrophe happening again. Beast Wars: In the episode "Chain Of Command", Optimus Primal was captured by the Predacons and the remaining Maximals were hobbled by the fact that they don't have an actual plan for this situation. An attempt at voting for a new leader failed due to being split down the middle, until Optimus managed to send a message putting Rattrap in charge. In the aftermath, the Maximals organised a proper chain of command in order to prevent such a blunder from happening again. Invoked in the backstory of Rampage. He was created by the Maximal Elders in an attempt to duplicate the immortal Spark of Starscream note In The Transformers Starscream famously continued to exist as a ghost after his death in Transformers: The Movie, in Beast Wars this was claimed to be because he had a mutant Spark. They succeeded... but the resulting creature (codenamed Protoform X) was a murderous maniac who, among other things, massacred an entire space colony and ate some of his victims. After he was finally captured by Depth Charge, the Elders disposed of all the project's data (even going so far as to completely seal up Starscream's records so no one would ever try to duplicate his immortality again) and tasked Optimus Primal with dumping X on some dead world far from any civilisation. This had some unintended results: due to Primal and his crew getting drawn into the Beast Wars, Megatron was able to forcibly recruit X into his ranks. Even more unexpected was when Starscream himself manifested during the conflict, and the fact that the Maximals had no idea who he was due to his records being sealed put them at a huge disadvantage. Luckily, former Predacon Dinobot was more familiar with Starscream thanks to the Predacons not sealing their records. Beast Wars Neo: It's eventually revealed that some time after Unicron's original defeat in Transformers: The Movie, both Autobots and Decepticons under Optimus Prime and Galvatron respectively called a truce to move his remains to a place called the Triple Z Point. note This was presumably in response to events in the third season of The Transformers, where in "The Ghost of Starscream" it was revealed that Unicron's head (orbiting Cybertron ever since his body was destroyed during The Movie) was still active and he was very much still a threat. The Legends manga further expands on these events: when Unicron's head was brought to the Triple Z Point where much of the wreckage of his original body had already been moved, his worshippers arrived and sacrificed themselves en masse to recreate his physical body, resulting in a desperate battle between the combined Autobot-Decepticon army and the reforming Unicron. In the aftermath, not only was Unicron's life force spread out at random throughout the galaxy and his remains left to rot, both sides agreed that the Triple Z Point was completely off limits out of fear that if Unicron revived once, he might do so again. It's telling that even by the time of Neo (several thousand years after the events of The Movie), the Triple Z Point has been left undisturbed. That's how terrified everyone was of the possibility of Unicron reviving. Transformers: The War Within: The Dark Ages: Taking place during a time period when both Optimus Prime and Megatron have gone missing and the Autobot and Decepticon armies have fractured into multiple smaller factions, the mysterious and nigh-unstoppable Transformer only known as The Fallen attacks and kidnaps four Transformers (Hot Spot, Grimlock, Jetfire, and Blitzwing) as part of some sort of plot. He also recruits the Chaos Trinity, a trio of Transformers who believe in magic, to his cause by granting them actual powers. In the aftermath of the Fallen's defeat (brought about by a literal Deus ex Machina as the Creator God of the Transformers briefly manifested and annihilated him with a gesture), the various factions place several locks on the seal he was trying to open to ensure no one faction would ever be able to try to finish the job. Invoked in the backstory of Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen during the conflict between the Dynasty of Primes and their wayward brother The Fallen. Before engaging The Fallen, they destroyed his servants first, then sealed up his Star Harvester using the Matrix of Leadership, and only then tried to face him directly. Their intent was to ensure that after they defeated him, they'd be able to safely dismantle the Star Harvester at their leisure. However, The Fallen had secretly powered himself up beforehand, and what was meant to be this trope wound up becoming a Heroic Sacrifice Taking You with Me on the part of the Primes that left The Fallen a Sealed Evil in a Can. Transformers (2019): Two completely separate attempts at doing this have repercussions by the time of the series' events. The first was a rampage by a being known as the Abomination, created when a group of Cybertronians happened upon the Enigma of Combination, an ancient artifact that allowed them to combine into a gestalt entity. This monster rampaged across the planet, guzzling precious Energon until finally being defeated by Dai Atlas and his comrades. The resulting Energon shortage was so dire that starvation became a genuine danger, and in the aftermath, the Autobots sought to seal away the Enigma only to discover it had already vanished in the chaos. The more serious one was the War of the Threefold Spark, brought about by Exxarchon. He was a respected and well-loved figure who travelled extensively but was corrupted by entities unknown into a twisted monster with the ability to take over other Cybertronians' bodies, snuffing their Sparks out in the process note This title of "Threefold Spark" came from how he could simultaneously exist in a maximum of three such bodies, and felt an instinctive, desperate need to always inhabit three separate bodies. Autobot leader Nominus Prime felt that Exxarchon had been twisted by those angry at Cybertron's aggressive expansion, which was backed by their gigantic Titans (as well as the necessity of taking over new worlds to get enough resources to keep the Titans fueled and in working order). To prevent such a devastating war from happening again, he put a halt to colonial expansion, repurposed the Titans as a defense-only fleet, had as many deadly weapons as he could find sealed up, and "encouraged" troublesome or dangerous individuals to find their way in the colonies rather than remain on Cybertron itself. By the time the series begins, while it's acknowledged that the Nominus Edict was absolutely the right call at the time, several characters warn that it no longer serves a purpose other than stifling Cybertronians as a whole, culminating in the Ascenticon political party outright launching a coup. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Skin Of Evil", after they save Troi from Armus, the Enterprise destroys the wrecked shuttlecraft and puts a beacon in orbit warning all ships to stay away from Vagra II. In "Clues", aliens erase a day from the crew's memory so they won't find out about their existence. However, it doesn't work since the crew notices some things are out of place (Crusher's moss displays a day's worth of growth, Troi is dizzy and feels her reflection isn't herself, and Worf's wrist is injured). The crew decides to let the aliens wipe their memories a second time, but this time, ensure no clues are left behind so the conflict won't start again. In "Schisms", some sensor modifications attract aliens from another dimension. Once they're dealt with, Geordi says that they'll change the modifications to not interact with that particular dimension again. At the end of "Descent", Data dismantles Lore, his Evil Twin, so that he can no longer do any damage. |
