Episodes where the characters fight a villain who is expeditiously defeated at the end, never to be dealt with again. Essentially, the Monster of the Week serves as the Big Bad of a single episode. Can be seen as the complete antithesis of a Story Arc, or a Story Arc compressed into one episode. Sometimes, use of a plot element like Arc Welding can bring together what appear to be unrelated threats, but other times they are established as being minions of the ultimate Big Bad from the start.
The term (a play on Movie of the Week) was originally coined by the writing staff of The Outer Limits (1963), which sought to distinguish itself from its biggest competitor, The Twilight Zone (1959), by promising viewers a new monster every episode. Out of its 49 episodes, only around 8 twisted or outright eschewed the formula.note "The Man Who Was Never Born" (where the "monster" is the protagonist), "The Hundred Days of the Dragon", "The Borderland", "Controlled Experiment" (where the central characters are two martians with completely human appearances and a time control device on hand, and they aren't evil), both parts of "The Inheritors", "The Form of Things Unknown", and "Demon with a Glass Hand".
Variations crop up from time to time, though the most generic term is "Villain of the Week". The 4400 and Smallville, for example, are sometimes discussed in terms of the "Freak of the Week". Mystery of the Week is the detective series version of this trope.
Sometimes, the monsters get ridiculous, especially in fillers, where they are almost always themed after the plot of the episode. Futari wa Pretty Cure had a giant vacuum cleaner early in its run, for example; Digimon Adventure, a walking garbage dump.
This actually is not a bad thing. Monster of the Week (and perhaps Monster Munch) can be used to establish characters or setting. Or perhaps lead to a much bigger Story Arc - such as deliberately showing the characters developing as they have to learn new tactics to overcome their foes, sustain injuries from more powerful monsters, or even setting up things such as He Who Fights Monsters. Additionally, some shows that use this formula have no wider plot whatsoever, and do not need to, since the core "defeat the villain" episodic plot can be more than enough to maintain audience engagement as long as the plots themselves remain interesting.
It's actually Older Than Print... several pieces of old mythologies about folk heroes can be interpreted as a recurring Monster of the Week.
Sub-Trope of One-Shot Character. Often used in collaboration with Adventure Towns, may or may not be Monogender Monsters. See also Robeast, Monster of the Aesop, and Single Specimen Species. Contrast Monster Mash, Rogues Gallery and Villain Exclusivity Clause.
See Continuity Creep and Not So Episodic, for heavy overlap.
Not to Be Confused with Shaenon Garrity's The X-Files parody webcomic Monster of the Week, or with the Apocalypse World style Tabletop Game of the same name.

Figure 17 Tsubasa & Hikaru plays this completely straight, although there is strong continuity as well. By the end of the series the monsters don't even look different from each other — they just get slightly upgraded powers. This does become less prominent as the plot goes on, however, as emphasis shifts toward Tsubasa and Hikaru's relationship, with some episodes not featuring a Maguar at all, and others being dedicated to particularly large and important, multi-episode fights.

Samurai Jack faces off against a different villain or monster in every episode, with the only recurring antagonist being Aku, the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness. This was the case until the fifth and final season, which had an actual story arc that introduced a few more recurring foes: The Omen, The High Priestess, and Scaramouche the Merciless.

Every season of Digimon starts out this way as the new characters learn the ropes and the viewers learn the new characters (and in some seasons, new universe).
In the case of Digimon Tamers, this is generally held to be what killed the show's American ratings as a true Big Bad was not introduced until the trip to the DigiWorld 24 episodes in.
Digimon Frontier states that most all monsters are sub races of Digimon, save a few, from the start.

A literal example in The World Ends with You. Each week of the Reaper's Game is presided over by a "game master." These are especially powerful Reapers who, what do you know, transform into monstrous versions of themselves when you get to fight them.

Bleach started out like this, with Ichigo fighting a different hollow each chapter. Though after Rukia got taken back to Soul Society, it became more Story Arc focused. Even during the Arrancar arc, he and his allies duel with Lieutenants, Captains, Arrancars, etc, all count as part of this.

Rosario + Vampire started as your typical Unwanted Harem monster of the week manga, until it became focused on more serious and involved story arcs. The anime adaption continued to be a fanservice-laden comedy into its second season, much to the chagrin of the fandom.

Godzilla: The Series has a new creature of some sort in every episode. However, most of these monsters are actually pretty good, and they range from a petroleum-eating goo blob, to a swarm of ants big enough to uproot and carry a tree. Some monsters would occasionally reappear after "Monster Island" was established, however.

In Yo-kai Watch, with the yo-kai. Each episode features several sections, with at least one of those sections featuring an odd situation, Nate finding out it's caused by a yo-kai, then beating said yo-kai in some way or another, though he doesn't always defeat it. Sometimes the end of the part is played for laughs with a failed resolution, but this is pretty rare.

SD Gundam Force did something like this during early on. Basically, the Dark Axis' Quirky Miniboss Squad would use a Control Horn on a robot in Neotopia, such as a swan ferry or a train, turning it from a helpful Mobile Citizen into a dangerous menace, and it would be the Gundam Force's job to destroy the Horn. According to the Zako Zako Hour, the Dark Axis (or at least Zapper's squad) were not very good at making new weapons, so they have to steal everything. This stopped after Episode 9 as the Dark Axis began sending in better warriors to attack Neotopia.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann plays this straight. In the first episode, the Lagann is introduced as well as a minor enemy. Next episode introduces some more mecha, including the Gunzan (later Gurren). The third episode introduces the first actually recurring villain, who's more of an anti-villain. By Episode 6, the show actually starts straying becoming more serialized rather than episodic, but maintains its monster of the week standard until Episode 15, where the MOTW is actually the first Big Bad. The second half reversed this, by having the good guys introduce more and more powerful mecha to kick the enemy's ass, most notably after Team Dai-Gurren goes to space.

In the old The Dandy comic strip, Jack Silver, the villainous Captain Zapp had a device known as a Duplicator, which could create a living, breathing copy of any picture that was fed into it. Every week, he would use the strange creatures the machine produced to commit crimes, before being stopped by Jack Silver and his gadget of the week.

Fullmetal Alchemist played this for the first volume before going into the main plot (which it would keep through the entire series); interestingly it was still only one of the chapters of the first volume that didn't affect the story in any way. Likewise, some early episodes of the 2003 anime adaptation had a version of this: if there's a plot-important character in the episode we have not seen before, he is probably the villain of the week. The main exception to this rule is Rose. 'Course, a fair share of these episodes turned out to be important to the plot later.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force usually follows this rule, with the monster somehow spawning out of Shake or Carl's short-sighted actions or out of nowhere. This arguably counts as a parody, as said monsters usually turn out to be more obnoxious than evil. Although the cast usually gets killed or horribly maimed regardless.

Fist of the North Star's Kenshiro regularly faced off against villains of the week, often with some weird Nanto or Hokuto-derived power that he had to overcome, moreso in the anime than in the manga, and the series varied between these and genuine story arcs.

Wonder Woman Vol 1: Marston seemed to be using all villains outside of Paula, who reformed and became a hero, only once at first. Then they started reappearing years later, with ties to current villains or looking for revenge but Marston died before there was any real payoff outside of the connection between Hypnota and the slavers of Saturn and the initial formation of Villainy Inc.

Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy parodies and plays this straight (albeit, in an arc-based way) with its Instant Monsters, for obvious reasons. So far, three of them have been defeated, with the former two being sentient everyday objects, and the third being human (however, the side effects of the potion on him were unintended).

Dino Squad had a somewhat interesting variation on this. While it did have a central villain mutating normal animals into prehistoric creatures, and doing so was part of his master plan to take over the world, he only did so to gather scientific data to improve the mutation process. The mutants were almost never created to facilitate some other evil plan.

Lastman has literal monsters (the Wrens): a few of those are used as monster of the week and killed off at a rate of one per episode... But some of them (Rizel, the Passenger, Eric Rose...) are longer lasting antagonists. However even one-time Wrebs are used to move the plot along and can do lasting damages, even killing one of the secondary characters.

The Dresden Files has this, particularly in the first three books in the series. Storm Front has an evil sorcerer, Fool Moon has werewolves, Grave Peril has a ghost called "The Nightmare". Later books continue this somewhat, with Summer Knight focusing on Faeries and Death Masks on fallen angels, but both of become significant returning elements as the series continues. Later books focus more on recurring allies, enemies, and story threads that the series has built up over time, although there is also often a monster of the week element happening alongside it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion also started like this. From the 13th Angel's attack on, however, even though each monster is still gone at the end of the episode that introduced it, every mental scar left behind by the monster's attack remains, building up and taking its toll over time. Evangelion's cast is on its last legs by the time the 17th Angel kicks the bucket. Cue The End of Evangelion.

Tokyo Xanadu: The story follows this formula of isolated incidents caused by Elder Greeds, with said monsters being the last bosses of each chapter. This goes on until Chapters 5 and 6, where an Arc Villain is introduced to be the cause of the Grim Greeds wreaking havoc in those chapters, and the last chapters put focus into fighting the Big Bad.

Lilo & Stitch: The Series runs on this trope, but with a twist. All of the monsters in this show, known as the Experiments, are genetically-engineered alien creatures created by Jumba Jookiba (with Stitch himself also being one of these Experiments). In each episode, Lilo must help Stitch find and confront another one of the latter's many "cousins", who are usually running around and causing trouble, and rehabilitate them into peaceful creatures that can use their powers for good.

Tentai Senshi Sunred shows how this trope plays out from the monsters' point of view: The Evil Organization Florsheim has a stable of monsters who rotate between branch offices, letting them challenge the local heroes with fresh monsters on the regular. Monsters also retire (usually after receiving enough beatdowns) and require Florsheim to cultivate new local talent and pair them up with their own veterans to get them used to battling heroes. Florsheim's Kawasaki branch has the problem that their local 'Arch-Enemy' Sunred is a Comically Invincible Hero (retired), and battling him is usually very traumatising (luckily he is a Technical Pacifist and never kills). As such, while fights with Sunred usually involve a newcomer, Florsheim also need a few regulars around that can serve as Recurring Villains.

Inuyasha was this for nearly every episode outside the last anime story arc, usually having some demon or monster getting their hands on a jewel shard. Once the manga got past the point of the anime ending, it changed up a little bit.

"The Encyclopedists": Salvor Hardin, mayor of the planet Terminus, tries to get the Encyclopedia Foundation to deal directly with the threat of the four neighboring kingdoms. Unfortunately, their leader, Lewis Pirenne, is an Obstructive Bureaucrat as dense as a brick. It takes Seldon's reveal that the Encyclopedia Galactica was a scam in order to set the colony of Terminus in motion before they're willing to deal with the problem. By then Mayor Hardin has already taken control of the situation.

"Search by the Foundation": The primary conflict here is a silent showdown between the First and Second Foundations, with the First being notably more antagonistic, since they have become extremely paranoid of any psychic since the Mule and thus want to destroy the Second, which is an entire nation of psychics. Simultaneously, the First Foundation is also facing war with the remnants of the Mule's empire and its current leader, Lord Stettin. The Second Foundation manages to masterfully trick and outmaneuver the First into thinking they have been defeated, while Lord Stettin is a mere cover up who has been manipulated from the beginning by a Second Foundationer, the whole war being a farce to give the First Foundation the confidence to stand on its own.

Mazinger Z and its sequels, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer, are considered the 1970s paragon in spite of actually subverting the trope. Dr. Hell often sent two, three or even more Mechanical Beasts at a time as well. And the original manga averted it completely. The monsters gang up on Mazinger more often than not. It also was subverted in Mazinkaiser, where Dr. Hell sends a large number of monsters at once against Z and Great Mazinger, and wins.
Averted in Shin Mazinger, probably because it stuck more closely to the original manga. Dr. Hell never just sends one monster out into battle, and usually has backup plans should his monsters fail.

The monthly Full Moon Shadows that the party fights in Persona 3 at first seem to fall into this category; however, later on, it is revealed that they are all actually fragments of a single Shadow, Death, who is the herald of Nyx, the one destined to bring about The End of the World as We Know It.

The James Bond film series generally follows a "Diabolical Mastermind of the Week" formula. This was moreso common in films after the Sean Connery era, as due to a legal dispute Eon Productions couldn't use Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and so they created one-shot evil masterminds to go up against Bond instead.

Goosebumps, much like The Outer Limits (1963), adds this formula to its The Twilight Zone (1959) influence. Almost every book deals with the everyman kid heroes encountering(or in some cases becoming) a new monster or supernatural entity that's featured right on the cover art. A few later books however (such as Fright Camp, Scream School or Are You Terrified Yet) avert this by having no supernatural elements and making the conflict a mundane one.

Ganbare Goemon usually has the eponymous hero and his friends battling a new zany villain in every game. In the series, it's rather rare for characters aside from the core quartet and the supporting cast i.e Impact, the Old Wiseman and Omitsu to appear more than once, even as cameos. The most noteworthy aversions is Kabuki, a cyborg kabuki warrior who has appeared in four games and Taisamba and her various versions.

Archer: Unsurprisingly for a show set in a spy agency, most of the show follows this format. A good chunk of episodes have the format of "ISIS is hired for a mission, and either succeed by the skin of their teeth or bungle it completely" Season 5 and 8 avert this, having more long-form storytelling, and while Season 7 has a story arc running throughout, still mostly follows this.

Steven Universe started out with the focus being on the protagonists fighting random monsters, going after certain artifacts, or dealing with a mess caused by the titular hero, while using that as a backdrop for worldbuilding and character development. This was the dynamic even in the more Slice of Life-oriented episodes. Halfway through the first season, however, it slowly introduced a Myth Arc and ditched the style altogether; nowadays the Slice of Life episodes tend to be more... Slice of Life.

Super Mario Bros.
Unlike the rest of the franchise, Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario does this, with a major villain in each chapter, and at least one Big Bad unique to the game.
Mario Party DS: In Story Mode, while on-route to Bowser's Castle, Mario and the group assist an ally when they're being troubled by one of the usual series enemies at each area.
Luigi's Mansion (Series):
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon: Each boss of every location has a creature or object possessed by a Possessor.
Luigi's Mansion 3: Each floor of the hotel is haunted by a major ghost that Luigi encounters as he tries to catch them.
The Wario franchise (outside of WarioWare) mostly does this, featuring Wario going up against a new antagonist standing in his way of getting even richer. Wario World also has Wario battling a monster created by the Black Jewel at the end of each level. The only recurring antagonist he has is Captain Syrup, who only served the role in Wario Land 1 and II.

In a similar manner, Gamera fights a new monster every movie, some even being recycled from previous films. The sole exception is Gyaos, which is thus far the only monster to appear in several movies, rather than just being a one-off antagonist.

In Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, while Komaru and Toko are traveling through Towa City, each chapter has them fighting a member of The Warriors of Hope who uses a remote-controlled Mini-Mecha to fight them.

Teen Titans occasionally had some one-shot villains (besides the ones where the Brotherhood of Evil reunites them). Some villains were lucky to have more than two appearances.

In Princess Holy Aura, the frequency of the monsters increases, so by the end of the book the Maidens are close to facing a monster per week, which also is lampshaded, though not all monsters are shown in action. Some of the monsters they face are; a dhole, a shoggoth, a crazy rhyming axe murderer, and a phantom clown.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, prior to The Last Olympian (the conclusion to the original pentology and the end of the Wham Episode that was The Battle of the Labyrinth), has a common formula: Our heroes are sent on a quest, and along the way end up fighting a few monsters or opponents that serve as obstacles to them. While there are a few who are working as a group, for the most part the monsters are fighting by themselves, specifically targeting the heroes who either walk into their operation or because a reward was promised.

Nightmare/eNeMeE in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! would provide King Dedede with a new monster with which to try to kill Kirby just about every episode. Naturally, Dedede is just too cheap to buy more than one at any one time. He did go into debt buying them. eNeMeE actually had to send a monster to collect the debt without him realizing (at first), though it still ended up being defeated. Some of the monsters were from the games, like the Ice Dragon and Mumbies, but others weren't.

Persona:
The monthly Full Moon Shadows that the party fights in Persona 3 at first seem to fall into this category; however, later on, it is revealed that they are all actually fragments of a single Shadow, Death, who is the herald of Nyx, the one destined to bring about The End of the World as We Know It.
Persona 4 does this with the team rescuing whoever's trapped inside the TV world and battling their Shadows to make them repent.
Persona 5 has the Phantom Thieves in each chapter entering the mental Palaces of a criminal individual to make them confess their crimes.

Batman: The Animated Series:
"The Underdwellers" spotlights a villain called the Sewer King who never appears again. He's sufficiently creepy for a Batman villain, but it's just as well he never returned, since he was really only good for one story (that is, showcasing the evils of child slavery).
The same could be said of Baby Doll, as she only ever had two appearances and was limited in both motive and ability compared to other, more menacing Batman villains.

In the Animorphs series, whenever Visser Three (Big Bad of the series who possesses the same shape-shifting abilities as the titular heroes) would personally participate in a battle, he would do so by assuming the form of a new exotic alien creature that clearly outmatched the Earth animals that the Animorphs themselves had taken the forms of. Subverted by the fact that it is the same character every time, only in a different form. Played straight in later books with one-shot antagonists like Queen Soco and the Inspector.

The Spectacular Spider-Man has Spider-Man fight a supervillain of the week.
Though a lot of these were the result of the machinations of one or more of the show's three Big Bads — Tombstone, Doc Ock, or Norman Osborn, rather than isolated encounters. What's really interesting is the show's justification for why there are so many supervillains running around: The Big Bads had them created to keep Spider-Man busy and thus unable to interfere with their standard criminal operations.

In the Tournament of Power Arc of Dragon Ball Super, there are episodes that generally involve fighters outside of Universe 6 and 7 that never get heard from again after they are taken out. For instance, one episode pits three Universe 4 warriors against Master Roshi, while one episode pits two assassin warriors in an episode focused on Tien. Even though they are introduced at the start of the tournament, they don't get any real introduction until their respective episodes.

Both parodied and played straight in Magical Project S, which has Pixy Misa summoning a new "Love-Love Monster" in half of the episodes. The show and its characters are quite aware of both the futility of these creations (as the incantation of "Calling Mistakes" suggests) and their formulaic nature (in an episode where Misa introduces a small army of them, Sammy dryly says "I've seen all those already").

Regular Show features one-shot antagonists in almost every other episode, though sometimes the conflict wasn't about a true villain or literal monster, but rather some sort of daily task turned into a supernatural problem.

Each Godzilla movie usually sees Godzilla going up against a new daikaiju that's emerged to terrorize Japan, particularly in the first Showa series. The later eras of Godzilla movies had more reoccurring rivals, due to the financial failure of Godzilla vs. Biollante, resulting in the studio deciding to play it safer with pre-established characters.

The Foundation Trilogy:
"The Psychohistorians": Taking place when Seldon is still alive, he invites a mathematician to discuss his psychohistory and sneaks in a private nocturnal meeting with the man. This prompts Chief Commissioner of Public Safety, Linge Cheng, to imprison, then exile, Seldon to stop his schemes.
"The Encyclopedists": Salvor Hardin, mayor of the planet Terminus, tries to get the Encyclopedia Foundation to deal directly with the threat of the four neighboring kingdoms. Unfortunately, their leader, Lewis Pirenne, is an Obstructive Bureaucrat as dense as a brick. It takes Seldon's reveal that the Encyclopedia Galactica was a scam in order to set the colony of Terminus in motion before they're willing to deal with the problem. By then Mayor Hardin has already taken control of the situation.
"The Mayors": Salvor Hardin, mayor of the planet Terminus, is facing internal revolutionary elements on Terminus, led by Sef Sermak. At the same time, they're facing a threat from Anacreon, where Prince Regent Weinis, uncle to the King of Anacreon, is making a power play for his country to take control of Terminus.
"The Merchant Princes": Foundation politicians Sutt and Manlio are still clinging to the power of the Scam Religion, so they try to weaken the blossoming Traders by sending an agent to undermine Master Trader Huber Mallow during his mission on Korell, a world staunchly against the Foundation's religion. During the last third of the story, after Mallow has defeated his political opponents, he is faced by the planet of Korell itself, which has declared war on the Foundation. Mallow uses the Foundation's economic powers to win by declaring a trade embargo on Korell. Despite winning every battle, Korell is forced to surrender due to civil revolt during wartime hardships.
"The General (Foundation)": General Bel Riose is a massive threat against the Foundation, fully immune to their previous tactics, as political maneuvers are useless on him, the Foundation's religion is long dead and nuclear embargo can do nothing to him as he has Empire technology. He manages to severely weaken the Foundation's hold on the Periphery, and even lay siege to the Foundation's doorstep by taking some of the Four Kingdoms, its inner core worlds. He's also surprisingly likable, fairly noble, and philosophical. His main concern is reigniting the glory of the Empire, with no ulterior motives whatsoever, which makes his inevitable defeat by the politics of the inner court of the Empire rather heartbreaking. The timing of the attacks favoured him, too; the Foundation government is much weaker than the capitalists running the corporations. We have foreshadowing that a class struggle between the plutocrats and the common traders is forthcoming.
"The Mule": Seldon expected the conflict in this era to be democracy against tyranny, pitting the advocates for independence against the advocates for strong central organization. However, their disagreements had to be put on hold to deal with an unexpected threat.
"The Mule": The Mule is an apparently unstoppable Galactic Conqueror who successfully defeats Seldon and shatters the plan nearly beyond saving. The Mule is miles above anything the Foundation has ever faced, causing Terminus to fall for the first and only time ever in its history. Yes, the Foundation loses to him. He does this with relative ease, outsmarts Foundation's insurgents and in Part Two, starts his plan of tracking down the legendary Second Foundation, which is surrounded in myth and rumored to be able to defeat him.
"Search by the Mule": Rather than some psychohistorical imperative, last week's threat continues. Equal parts attention are given to the villain of this work (the Mule and his minions) and to The Hero of this work (First Speaker and their Second Foundation), making them mutual antagonists.
"Search by the Foundation": The primary conflict here is a silent showdown between the First and Second Foundations, with the First being notably more antagonistic, since they have become extremely paranoid of any psychic since the Mule and thus want to destroy the Second, which is an entire nation of psychics. Simultaneously, the First Foundation is also facing war with the remnants of the Mule's empire and its current leader, Lord Stettin. The Second Foundation manages to masterfully trick and outmaneuver the First into thinking they have been defeated, while Lord Stettin is a mere cover up who has been manipulated from the beginning by a Second Foundationer, the whole war being a farce to give the First Foundation the confidence to stand on its own.

Scooby-Doo is famous for its use of People in Rubber Suits pretending to be monsters, which remain among the most well-known and archetypal examples of this trope. Some incarnations even occasionally fought actual monsters.

"Search by the Mule": Rather than some psychohistorical imperative, last week's threat continues. Equal parts attention are given to the villain of this work (the Mule and his minions) and to The Hero of this work (First Speaker and their Second Foundation), making them mutual antagonists.

Ghostbusters: The various ghosts of both The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters fit neatly into this trope. Justified as it is their work description to deal permanently with the ghosts. The ghosts of Filmation's Ghostbusters were more like a Rogues Gallery with one-shot monsters and ghosts being the exception.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
Early chapters of Yu-Gi-Oh! generally featured a "bully of the week." His role was typically to scam or beat up Yugi's friends, at which point Yugi would challenge him to a Cooking Duel or the local equivalent. Most notably, The Rival Kaiba started out like this, but then...
The anime based on the manga, and its spin-offs, have a Duelist of the Week who pops up with a new deck gimmick and quirky personality to challenge the hero. With very, very few exceptions, these characters will be defeated in a single episode and will never appear again. If they're lucky, they'll get a two-part episode before they vanish. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Capsule Monsters has different monsters to defeat for each of the five trials to return home.

This trope gets averted in Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure, where the villains just use Mooks instead. Then it gets double averted when they actually do start using monsters called Nottoreiga in Episode 6. Even so, they are shaping to be less commonly used than the other Monsters of the Week due to the way they're required to be summoned: the bad guy needs to capture a Star Color Pen to corrupt it into a Dark Pen and then use it to steal the imagination of the Victim of the Week to call forth a Nottoreiga. Given that the Precures will be getting most of the Star Color Pens first, this leaves the villains with fewer chances to employ this trope. Eventually, the series settled on with only Aiwarn being able to summon Nottoreiga. After Aiwarn went AWOL after one too many defeats, not new Nottoreiga have appeared in the series. The villains went back to employing mooks and giant mooks to attack the Precures.

The Heroes of Olympus also uses the formula where the heroes are continuing on their quests, but much more like The Kane Chronicles, sticks mostly towards progressing its overall arc and the Myth Arc itself. While situations like these do appear in the last two books of the quintet, they are much fewer in number and are almost always something they are informed of ahead of time. Which leads to the last two which contrast the most:

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic tends to follow this format in its first several seasons; each premiere or finale features a new villain who is freed from a thousand-year imprisonment and tries to conquer Equestria. After Season 6, however, the show switches to reusing older villains; Queen Chrysalis, in particular, has multiple returning appearances, and the final season focuses on a team of returning villains working together.

The villain usually had a new superweapon, too: "the Death Star but Better" sums up all of them. The Tarkin was "the Second Death Star before the Writers Knew about the Real Second Death Star", World Devastators are "the Death Star but Slow and Productive", the Nightcloak was "the Death Star but with Climate Change", Darksaber was "the Death Star but Minimalistic", the Eclipse was "the Death Star but also the Executor", the Galaxy Gun was "the Death Star but with Really Long Range Nukes", Centerpoint Station was "the Death Star but also Long Range", and the Sun Crusher was "the Death Star but God-Mode Sue". As you can guess, people who prefer the Death Star as an ultimate weapon hate every single one of them. Particularly since about half of these have characters popping up to exclaim that this superweapon is worse than the Death Star, omg!

No More Heroes follows this with Travis hunting down the main Assassins on the rank board to be the Number 1 assassin.

Dragon Ball:
Dragon Ball GT: In an interesting display of symmetry, the show used this format in the Black Star Saga (the first arc) and the Shadow Dragon Saga (the final arc).
In the Tournament of Power Arc of Dragon Ball Super, there are episodes that generally involve fighters outside of Universe 6 and 7 that never get heard from again after they are taken out. For instance, one episode pits three Universe 4 warriors against Master Roshi, while one episode pits two assassin warriors in an episode focused on Tien. Even though they are introduced at the start of the tournament, they don't get any real introduction until their respective episodes.

Kill la Kill plays with this trope a bit. In the first four episodes, Ryuko fights three minor Club Presidents who have all the makings of this trope- only stopping to try to skip right to Satsuki herself between the second and third. However, once Ryuko beats the third, she gets strong enough to reduce her fight with another Club President to a short Curb-Stomp Battle and promptly finishes off the rest in a montage.

Sailor Moon is the most famous of this, with the monsters of the week — at least 80% of the time — also being Monogender Monsters, females in this case. None of the monsters ever survive the episodes they were introduced in, with the only two exceptions being Regulus (because Nephrite only used him as a distraction and never summoned him again after that) and Cenicienta (because the episode she appeared in was a two-parter).

"The General (Foundation)": General Bel Riose is a massive threat against the Foundation, fully immune to their previous tactics, as political maneuvers are useless on him, the Foundation's religion is long dead and nuclear embargo can do nothing to him as he has Empire technology. He manages to severely weaken the Foundation's hold on the Periphery, and even lay siege to the Foundation's doorstep by taking some of the Four Kingdoms, its inner core worlds. He's also surprisingly likable, fairly noble, and philosophical. His main concern is reigniting the glory of the Empire, with no ulterior motives whatsoever, which makes his inevitable defeat by the politics of the inner court of the Empire rather heartbreaking. The timing of the attacks favoured him, too; the Foundation government is much weaker than the capitalists running the corporations. We have foreshadowing that a class struggle between the plutocrats and the common traders is forthcoming.

Dragon Hunters: Each episode features a battle against a different "dragon"; by the end of the episode, the creature has been vanquished, proved harmless or freed. Sometimes said dragon makes a cameo in another episode (for example the Giant Spider from "Billy Thoughnut" reappears in "Farewell Lian-Chu" and "By the Book" as a minor antagonist.

The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat had a fairly large gallery of one-shot villains and monsters for Felix to fight, such as The Sludge King, The Bermuda Triangle, Jeepers Creepers, The Elf and many others. This is especially distinct in the context of the Felix the Cat series, which only had a handful of recurring villains and very few one-shot villains prior to this revival.

Most Touhou bosses only appear as the main boss once and then either turn good or at least befriend Reimu, Marisa or both the next game they're seen, though this doesn't stop the occasional misunderstanding, especially in the Fighting Game or PVP spinoffs, or are never seen again outside of a Gaiden Game. This has continued for 15 games and counting (discounting decimal-numbered games!).

Integral to the Pretty Cure series. Invariably, they're possessed objects turned rampaging beasts which the heroines fight, defeat and purify, albeit there are cases of animals and even people being possessed. In the first two seasons the villains summoned ghost-like spirits (Zakenna and Uzaina respectively) to create the monsters; in following seasons, the bad guys used different tools to achieve the same results, such as masks (Kowaina), spheres (Hoshina from PC5s sequel GO!GO!), diamond-shaped cards (Nakewameke), wilting Flower Hearts (Desertrian), corrupted musical notes (Negatone), clown noses containing a Cure Decor (Akanbe), black magic and two or more objects (Yokubaru), "prickly power" i.e negative energy (Oshimaida), smaller spirits called Nanobjogens (Megabjogens), colored orbs (Yaraneedas), emblems of the Bundle Land Bandits (Ubauzos), energy from the Underg Empire (Lanborgs) and dark energy that possesses animals (Garugarus). The exceptions to the rules are the Jikochuus (created with the selfish and petty thoughts of a person's heart without the need of possessing anything), the Saiarks (Jumbo-sized Choiarks that take one or two attributes of the Victim of the Week) and the Zetsuborgs (Small, gray lock-like creatures whose bodies are formed by the attributes of the Victim of the Week as well). Kira Kira Pre Cure A La Mode is noteworthy for featuring a spin on this trope by having a group of antagonists, the Kirakiraru Thieves, act like the monsters during the first half of the series. The second half, however, featured a more traditional yet different take by having every bad guy summon a monster by different means that still involved the possession of an object: a ventriloquist's dummy (Bibury), tarot cards (Elisio) and imp-like clay dolls called Nendos (Glaive). The only villain who didn’t do it in that season was Julio, who just fought the Cures repeatedly with a changing weapon.
One notable example from Doki Doki Pretty Cure. The Greater-Scope Villain and True Final Boss is the final Monster, since he was only indirectly responsible to the plot and was never the Big Bad. He even gets defeated in the same way like any other.
This trope gets averted in Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure, where the villains just use Mooks instead. Then it gets double averted when they actually do start using monsters called Nottoreiga in Episode 6. Even so, they are shaping to be less commonly used than the other Monsters of the Week due to the way they're required to be summoned: the bad guy needs to capture a Star Color Pen to corrupt it into a Dark Pen and then use it to steal the imagination of the Victim of the Week to call forth a Nottoreiga. Given that the Precures will be getting most of the Star Color Pens first, this leaves the villains with fewer chances to employ this trope. Eventually, the series settled on with only Aiwarn being able to summon Nottoreiga. After Aiwarn went AWOL after one too many defeats, not new Nottoreiga have appeared in the series. The villains went back to employing mooks and giant mooks to attack the Precures.

Most early cases in Ace Attorney follow this format, being self-contained cases with a killer who is caught in their first appearance and isn't relevant to the game's over-arching plot. In the second game, no case is connected to the others and the last one simply has far more impact to the main characters than every other case. Later games have begun subverting this, however, with early case villains often having minor ties to a greater conspiracy that forms the game's Story Arc.

In the books of Star Wars Legends, earlier-written ones in particular, the vast majority of villains are only there for the book or trilogy, and books set later or earlier completely forget that these villains ever existed. Odd, considering that they tend to be Imperial forces. The exceptions are Aaron Allston's run on the X-Wing Series, which had the campaign against Warlord Zsinj; the Coruscant Nights trilogy, which had one-book guest appearances by Prince Xizor and Aurra Sing; and roughly anything Timothy Zahn writes.
The villain usually had a new superweapon, too: "the Death Star but Better" sums up all of them. The Tarkin was "the Second Death Star before the Writers Knew about the Real Second Death Star", World Devastators are "the Death Star but Slow and Productive", the Nightcloak was "the Death Star but with Climate Change", Darksaber was "the Death Star but Minimalistic", the Eclipse was "the Death Star but also the Executor", the Galaxy Gun was "the Death Star but with Really Long Range Nukes", Centerpoint Station was "the Death Star but also Long Range", and the Sun Crusher was "the Death Star but God-Mode Sue". As you can guess, people who prefer the Death Star as an ultimate weapon hate every single one of them. Particularly since about half of these have characters popping up to exclaim that this superweapon is worse than the Death Star, omg!
Galaxy of Fear has a different horror or threat for each book. The first six can all be traced back to the Mad Scientist Big Bad, who had a lot of projects going. The others are mostly unrelated.

Mobile Suit Gundam, while extremely arc-based, still managed to introduce a lot of new enemy Mobile Suits in a monster-of-the-week fashion. It's why in the series/movies, the Federation has only five unique mobile weapon designs, while the Zeon have seventeen. Subsequent series' set in the same time period and supplementary materials have added more designs for both sides, but always heavily weighted in Zeon's favor. This was incorporated into the lore as part of the reason Zeon lost the war: Much like Germany in World War II, a lot of time and resources was lost to multiple designs competing for the same role(s), while the Federation picked a handful of designs that worked and stuck with them. Subsequently, Federation designs tended to be variations of the GM(though variations of the Gundam, Guncannon, and even Guntank show up from time to time), while the Zeon would have entirely new Mobile Suits added, on top of variations of the classic Zaku/Gouf/Dom designs.
Mobile Fighter G Gundam is THE best example in Gundam, because this was the entire point behind the series, to draw on the monster of the week fanbase, or more specifically the robot of the week fanbase, because that was how most robot shows were done prior to Gundam.
SD Gundam Force did something like this during early on. Basically, the Dark Axis' Quirky Miniboss Squad would use a Control Horn on a robot in Neotopia, such as a swan ferry or a train, turning it from a helpful Mobile Citizen into a dangerous menace, and it would be the Gundam Force's job to destroy the Horn. According to the Zako Zako Hour, the Dark Axis (or at least Zapper's squad) were not very good at making new weapons, so they have to steal everything. This stopped after Episode 9 as the Dark Axis began sending in better warriors to attack Neotopia.

Stellar Ranger Dark Star zigzags this throughout the series:
Series One plays it straight, with Baron Stellos sending out a new Hollow Heart minion each chapter or few chapters.
Series Two averts it entirely, instead putting the focus on the five Savage Star Generals.
Series Three downplays it. The various Fallen Star prisoners often serve as enemies for the Rangers to fight and are treated like this, but they are given much less focus than the Hollow Hearts were, and are less frequent.

Mega Man:
The sets of 8 Robot Masters in the Mega Man (Classic) series easily fall into this. The Game Boy spin-offs do this with the Mega Man Hunters/Rockman Killers (and Quint) and the Stardroids as well, while the sole Genesis game in the series (The Wily Wars) had the Genesis Unit. Then, there's the major villains fought before Dr. Wily.

After the seemingly promising first three episodes, the technical aspect of its slow-paced combat slowly thrown away in favour of introducing (and defeating) more and more Kataprakths at least per one to two episodes, ensuring more mecha-action in every weeks. Even moreso in the second season onwards.

Men in Black: The Series has the variant of "Alien of the Week", albeit in some few episodes the villain of the week is human. And not every new alien featured in an episode was necessarily evil or dangerous.

Mighty Max has its share of one-shot antagonists. Some of them are affiliated with the series' main villain Skullmaster, but the majority work independently.

Piggsburg Pigs! was, somewhat unexpectedly for a cartoon about Funny Animal main characters, an example of this. Unexpectedly because the monsters that ended up driving every story weren't used for humor themselves. Considering how every episode ends up being about some monster/demon/alien escaping the Forbidden Zone, one would be forgiven for thinking there'd be more done than putting up a few warning signs.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers typically had Chip, Dale, Zipper, Monterey Jack, and Gadget Hackwrench face one-shot antagonists in episodes that didn't focus on their main enemies Fat Cat and Professor Norton Nimnul.

Trails through Daybreak: The general structure of the story goes like this. In each chapter, Van and his party get a request from someone, goes to the location mentioned by said requester, get wrapped up in whatever problem the place has at the time, and ends with Van using the Grendel and beating the chapter's villain with the party assisting him.

Gravity Falls makes use of this trope especially during its first season, with different monsters or other supernatural weirdness every episode. Though later on, it starts focusing more on the overall series' Myth Arc.

Happy Heroes has the heroes go up against a different monster, usually summoned in one way or another by the primary antagonist Big M., in a vast majority of episodes. However, some of the monsters make recurring appearances, and a few even have detailed personalities and backstories.
