Non-Protagonist Resolver	comment	An unorthodox Plot/Story Arc where a character gets much Character Focus and is clearly played up to be a Hero Protagonist â€” as in The Protagonist, whom the plot is about, who will also be the one to resolve his plot's Conflict â€” and it turns out the conflict isn't resolved by him, but someone else instead. The only requirement for this trope is that we have The Protagonist "Alice" (could also be a group) who is actively trying to kill the source of conflict and whom the narrative is focused on, and there is this Red Herring Shirt "Bob" (again, can also be a group) who the narrative doesn't pay much attention to, who then kills the source of Conflict for whatever reason, leaving Alice with nothing more to do since the Story Arc is technically over with the conflict out of the way. Note: Just because the "Story Arc is over", doesn't mean the story ends. This kind of plot can also happen to a sub-arc, not just Grand Finales, so it can still allow the story to continue. Super-Trope to the following: Crack Defeat: The focal characters lose to an unlikely competitor. Dark Horse Victory: A plot involving competing rivals in a contest, where the focus of the story is the rivals, but the winner is neither of them. Do note, however, that this trope doesn't have to signify a resolution of the conflict. The Meddling Kids Are Useless: the eponymous kids do everything except resolve the plot. Involves a Red Herring Shirt by nature, called "Bob" here. Compare A Day in the Limelight, where a minor character (or a group of them) gets an episode where they are The Protagonist. Will sometimes overlap with "Shaggy Dog" Story, when The Protagonist's efforts become for naught as someone else resolves the conflict before he can. May be a Deus ex Machina in execution if the "Bob's" intervention comes out of nowhere; to avoid such a case, the story may show Bob half-prominently but with little relevance to the story until later. If the "Bob" of the plot resolves the conflict by accident/not by his own volition, he may be hailed as an Accidental Hero after the events of the plot. Unrelated to the following: Almighty Janitor: This trope is about someone with low position in an organization exercising power or authority as if he had a higher position. Not a Plot, but a Character. Hero of Another Story: A Round Character who is implied to have Offscreen Heroics outside the story we're seeing. Not a Plot, but a Character. Badass Bystander: A Living Prop, Spear Carrier, or Bit Character who is revealed to be badass. Not a Plot, but a Character. Decoy Protagonist: Someone played up to be The Protagonist, who is usurped in role by the real Protagonist later in the narrative. May lose his prominent role completely and get Demoted to Extra or worse, killed. Not a Plot, but a Character. Compare Supporting Protagonist, the counterpart for said "resolver", as well as Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work, when a villain plays the "resolver" role. Contrast Self-Disposing Villain, where the villain plays his own "resolver" in cases where the protagonist would be reluctant to do so.

While escaping from the police, Dr. Hohner locks himself in Marcellina's tomb, and sets fire to it. (The film is ambiguous as to whether this act is deliberate or accidental.)

In the "Treehouse Of Horror X" segment "Desperately Xeeking Xena", Bart and Lisa gain superpowers and adopt the identities Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl and start fighting crime. However, they fail to save Lucy Lawless from the Collector (Comic Book Guy). She escapes on her own and rescues them. In "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge", Homer, who has started a private security company, is being threatened by local mobster Fat Tony and his gang. As they advance menacingly someone starts shooting and the criminals run away. It tuns out it was Maggie.

First of all the villain isn't defeated by the heroes, but by the Damsel in Distress, who beats him up even as she calls for help. By the time the Dover Boys arrive to finish the job, they only succeed in knocking each other out. Second, the Dover Boys don't get the girl in the end; instead, she goes with the old guy in the Old-Timey Bathing Suit that keeps popping in and out during the film for seemingly no reason.

Non-Protagonist Resolver / int_2d316ba2	comment	In the third season finale of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) which deal with the Turtles' Final Battle with Ch'rell, the Utrom Shredder (at least until Turtles Forever), the Turtles attempted to stop the Shredder from leaving the Earth and continue his attempt to take over the Utrom homeworld. Despite their best efforts, their final encounter with him, following him entering a new, more powerful exosuit, resulted in them being defeated by the Shredder worse than ever before. Feeling there was no alternative, the Turtles chose to blow up the Shredder's starship rather than let him spread his evil across the universe. However, it is then that the Utroms arrive, and using space-time technology, pull everyone off the ship before it's destroyed, rendering the Turtles Heroic Sacrifice unnecessary, along with everything they did since the beginning of the two part finale. Following that, the Shredder is finally brought to justice, not by the Turtles, but by the Utroms, who send him into permanent exile for his crimes. Leo spent half the next season dealing with the failure to stop the Shredder by growing angrier and edgier than Raphael.

The eighth season not only takes Jack out of action early on in the finale but builds up Chloe and Cole Ortiz as the ones who are going to expose the conspiracy and coverup of the current President (having fallen under Logan's sway), which includes protecting terrorists who were involved in the day's events. Only Chloe and Cole both end up getting arrested and the one to expose the crooked wrongdoings is... the President herself, who hits a major Heel Realization and out of guilt confesses everything that's happened.

Furthermore, The Stinger shows T'Challa housing at least Cap, Bucky, Black Widow, and the rest of team Cap somewhere in Wakanda. And even despite all that, the Sokovia Accords pass, so Cap and Bucky's only victory is that at the end of the day, they are alive - only T'Challa actually resolves the conflict by apprehending Zemo.

Specifically invoked earlier in the film: after T'Challa fails to apprehend Klaue in Korea, Killmonger shows up in Wakanda with his body. It, along with N'Jobu's ring, is what helps convince W'Kabi and other Wakandans to back him, or at least hear him out.

The opening titles and narrative generally play off Gadget as the one going after Doctor Claw and his MAD agents. In reality, Gadget is more often than not a Useless Protagonist, with his niece Penny and dog Brain being the ones to do the actual competent sleuthing behind the scenes with no one the wiser. It's pretty much a role reversal whenever Penny fails and Gadget ends up stopping MAD himself (usually by accidental buffoonery).

Non-Protagonist Resolver / int_7443be26	comment	A core gameplay mechanic in Streets of Rogue. Whenever you have a neutralize or destroy mission it doesn't matter who or what does the neutralizing and destroying, and there are a lot of common scenarios where NPCs will start murdering each other without needing you to instigate it first. It's not uncommon to start a level and almost immediately be told that you've completed one or more of your missions. While rarer this can even extend to The Mayor, where if someone else kills them first you'll just need to go pick the hat up off the ground or if they happened to knock it into a pit then it will immediately trigger the final cutscene with zero input from the player.

Also, Sam is the one who actually carries the ring into the precipice of Mount Doom, Frodo having collapsed from exhaustion just prior. Tolkien would later imply that the lure of the Ring was so powerful that no-one could intentionally destroy it, and that Eru (God) had ensured Gollum's survival up to that point precisely so he could destroy it by accident.

In The Heckler, an unnamed beat cop foils the villains' getaway by approaching a fake ice cream truck to make an order, then noticing a discrepancy in the crooks' story and making inquiries that cause them to try and shoot their way out, only for him to wound both men and capture one of them. In Ghosts, right after a scene that discusses how Carella and Hawes both see themselves as the hero and the other man as the Sidekick, the killer is arrested by a beat cop who mistakenly thinks the killer just robbed a pawnshop (really, he's fleeing the pawnshop because the owner realized he was trying to sell stolen property). Said beat cop gets promoted to protagonist as a result of the case, being promoted to detective and working with the leads in a few of the remaining books, but he's never seen or mentioned before arresting the killer.

Sure, he does manage to kill Oddjob (in the novel, he also kills Goldfinger, but in the movie the "shot plane window causing Continuous Decompression" is more accidental than deliberate), but that doesn't affect the plot very much, and the bulk of the work ends up being done by the US Army and the CIA.

Non-Protagonist Resolver / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: PokÃ©mon: The Series has done this often: The biggest offender is the two-part "Red Gyarados" arc. First Ash, Misty, and Brock end up getting captured by Team Rocket, meaning Lance had to save them. Then, Lance was the one to defeat the Team Rocket Trio and destroy the base where the evolution experiment was being conducted. Then, Lance was the one to defeat and capture the lead grunt, and finally, Lance was the one to capture the red Gyarados after Ash and his friends failed to stop it. Why were Ash and the others there again? The Mega Evolution Specials setups Alain with being the one in the employ of Team Flare and Lysandre then is outraged at their role in getting Mairin's Chespin ill from the Zygarde core, implying he will turn against them in the main story. Instead, it's Steven Stone who does the rescue of Chespie from Lysandre Labs while Alain is fighting in Lumiose City; despite having appeared far less than him. Also applies to nearly every League. You'd think, being the protagonist, Ash would handily win, right? Wrong. Ash is usually knocked out of the tournament after doing better than he did last time, usually by a rival who had been just introduced during the League. It's ultimately in Alola, where all the potential opponents he could face are all established characters, nearly all of them from the games, that he actually wins. In the B2W2 arc of PokÃ©mon Adventures, the protagonist Whitley has a chip that could disable the Colress Machine that's used to control Kyurem. Hugh and Rood of the Seven Sages are the ones to secure the chip and disable the Colress Machine, freeing Kyurem from Team Plasma and foiling their plan of freezing Unova.

Cue a literal Deus ex Machina in the form of THE CLAW, controlled by none other than The Little Green Men trio, whom Mr Potatohead "rescued" (and ignored for repeatedly saying "You have saved our lives, we are eternally grateful!") back in Toy Story 2. Which prompts him to echo their words to them after their rescue. Also, at the end, Lotso doesn't get his comeuppance at the hands of the heroes. Instead, he's found by a garbage man, who decides to tie him at the radiator of his truck as some kind of decoration. Thus giving him his And I Must Scream fate.

That's all on Osborne and Rufus who reveals himself to be the Mole in Charge of the Noble Alliance and ends up arresting Duke Cayenne. Osborne then pins the accomplishment of ending the Civil War on Rean so that he ends up becoming Erebonia's national hero, "the Ashen Chevalier". Rean definitely isn't happy about this arrangement but because he's in possession of a Divine Knight, it serves as a deterrent against Calvard when Erebonia occupies Crossbell as depicted above at Ao's entry.

Then, when Kira is once again about to activate Bites The Dust when he is about to lose, it is Jotaro who manages to reach the former's position in time and give him a huge beating. Finally, neither Josuke nor Jotaro actually kill Kira; he gets run over by an ambulance.

Instead it is Cadence and Shining Armor who combine their powers to use a love powered energy barrier to blast the Changelings out of Canterlot. In The Crystal Empire - Part 2", Twilight and Spike successfully find the Crystal Heart hidden by King Sombra, but just before Twilight could take it, she is trapped by Sombra's crystal. Spike, the only one who was open at the time, was the one who took the heart and delivers it to Cadance just in time to defeat Sombra, which turns out to be the lesson Twilight learns from Celestia and in turn passes her test. In "The Cutie Map - Part 2", Starlight runs away with the Mane Six's cutie marks. Four town ponies who just got their own marks back catch up to her in time, using their special talents to travel faster than the talent-suppressed Mane Six could. In "The Crystalling - Part 2", Shining Armor is the one to persuade the crowd to evacuate, after three of the Mane Six can't get through to them. The main premise of the season six 2-parter finale is to have a gang of redeemed adversaries to the Mane 6 go and rescue them, along with the rulers of Equestria, from the Changelings. Discord, one of the redeemed villains, lampshades this. The Tree of Harmony becomes this twice in Season 8. First in the infamous "The Mean 6" when it quickly recognizes the mane characters' Evil Doppelgangers as fraud and immediately drains the spell that gave them life right out of them. Done again in the finale "School Raze" when it uses just enough magic to free the Young Six from getting sent to another world with all the Equestrian magic, so they can restore the magic to Equestria and foil Cozy Glow.

The stipulation is that if they don't participate, and win, he will kill millions of innocent people. Indeed, the teams split up into various skirmish teams and try to locate Champion, who ambushes and defeats all of them one by one. Champion, a man of his word, goes back to his lair to activate his Weapon of Mass Destruction, only to find that Ant-Man, who wasn't even one of the Avengers he'd challenged (and wasn't even in the story until now), has deactivated it. Both teams then show up with the full rosters and curbstomp an angry Champion who whines to Captain America that this is very unsportsmanlike. Captain America retorts that the Avengers don't care one whit about proving who's "toughest". Their first priority was to save lives.

You'd think, being the protagonist, Ash would handily win, right? Wrong. Ash is usually knocked out of the tournament after doing better than he did last time, usually by a rival who had been just introduced during the League. It's ultimately in Alola, where all the potential opponents he could face are all established characters, nearly all of them from the games, that he actually wins.

Non-Protagonist Resolver / int_d6423831	comment	In the first trilogy of John Carter of Mars, some of the main antagonists are felled by someone else's hands other than the titular character. Sab Than is killed by Tars Tarkas during the first book's climax. This trope is actually a plot point since Than was betrothed to Carter's love interest. Martian customs decree that he cannot marry a woman if he killed her husband/betrothed, and Tars being the one to do the deed allows Carter to marry her. The other Big Bad of the first book, Tal Hajus, is also killed by Tars Tarkas during a duel for Klingon Promotion. Their fight does not even last a single sentence. Don't mess with Tars Tarkas. Played with in the third book, which has a Big Bad Triumvirate. Carter only kills one member of the group, Salensus Oll, before the final confrontation, while the other two - Thurid and Matai Shang - turn on each other during the climax. Thurid wins, but is then killed by Shang's vengeful daughter, Phaidor.

Non-Protagonist Resolver / int_d91e8666	comment	Ego Trip starts when some killer robots walk out of Dexter's time machine into his lab, announcing they have come to destroy "the one who saved the future." Dexter defeats the robots, and travels forward in time to find out how he saves the future. In the final battle, while the four Dexters from different times are struggling against four versions of Mandark as they try to reach the button to re-set the corrupted Neurotomic Protocore, Dexter's ditzy sister Dee Dee pops out of the time machine on the Dexters' ruined mecha, having accidentally travelled forward in time from the same starting point as Dexter. She presses the button on the Protocore, unwittingly saving humanity and stealing the glory from Dexter. The Dexters are so angry that they send four killer robots through the time machine to kill "the one who saved the future", which creates a Stable Time Loop when Dexter's past self mistakenly assumes the robots came to kill him instead of Dee Dee.

Non-Protagonist Resolver / int_da72cf97	comment	The Trails Series is very fond of this trope due to the fact that while the main characters do something, they're not the ones who ultimately save the day. In The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, while Estelle and her group do manage to stop Weissmann and his plans, the one who ultimately kills him is Kevin, who becomes the protagonist of The Third. In The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure, while Lloyd and the SSS do save KeA and return her to normal, ultimately they cannot stop Erebonia occupying Crossbell at the end of the game since KeA no longer becomes Crossbell's deterrent against both the Erebonian empire and Calvard republic. In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, while Class VII do manage to save Crown Prince Cedric, they're not the ones who can stop the Civil War. That's all on Osborne and Rufus who reveals himself to be the Mole in Charge of the Noble Alliance and ends up arresting Duke Cayenne. Osborne then pins the accomplishment of ending the Civil War on Rean so that he ends up becoming Erebonia's national hero, "the Ashen Chevalier". Rean definitely isn't happy about this arrangement but because he's in possession of a Divine Knight, it serves as a deterrent against Calvard when Erebonia occupies Crossbell as depicted above at Ao's entry.

He later walks in on the captain about to murder a helplesss Merriam and kills him after a fight.

At the beginning of season 2, Lee Chen and Meghan take out the Valhalla Sector by infecting them with the Big Death and rescue a kidnapped Markus and Jeremiah in the process. While Jeremiah gets a climactic battle with Mr. Sims in the series finale, the rest of the Army of Daniel would have still attacked and killed many heroes if not for a Mook Lieutenant overhearing Sims acknowledge that their revered leader is an invented figurehead, causing that man to spread the word and the soldiers to turn on their leaders.

Enter Giles. In "Grave", Buffy is stuck in a cave with Dawn fighting off creatures as Willow attempts to destroy the world. It ultimately ends up being Xander who saves everyone by bringing out Willow's humanity through a speech touching on their friendship throughout the years. In "Chosen", it's Spike (with a sunlight reflecting amulet supplied by Wolfram and Hart) who takes care of the Uber-Vamps. Said amulet had nothing to do with the main protagonist or anything that had occurred during the entire season, it was brought in at the last minute from Angel.

It enters this trope by the amount of screen time and plot focus said scientists get, and the last few episodes pointing out that the kids are kinda standing around getting in the way during the periods where they're not actually fighting.

Each time Shaft arrests him, a judge sets him free on bail, much to the dismay of Shaft and the victim's mother. At the very end of the movie, the murderer is once again brought to court, and Shaft assures the mother that they have a new judge and credible eyewitness. The mother tells Shaft she believes there will be justice this time, and a few minutes later she shoots her son's killer herself.

Throughout the entire series, we are told that Merlin will guide Arthur into being the king of Camelot. Together they will unite Albion, legalize magic and rule through a new Golden Age. However, Arthur dies in the Grand Finale and Merlin goes into self-imposed exile, leaving Queen Guinevere to accomplish all these goals. While the two set the framework for Albion and indeed make it possible, they aren't the ones to achieve that Happy Ending.

You can instead completely ignore this and return to the trial, whereupon your companion is found guilty and sentenced to death... and then a group of rebel NPCs barge in, reveal that the trial is corrupt, and make the Oracle give a true verdict instead, resulting in the acquittal. It's hardly heroic, but you don't have to do anything at all.
