As an audience, we expect a story to be played out within a certain order: exposition, Rising Action, climax, falling action, and Dénouement, and in many stories, the climax also serves as the Final Battle whereas the events that occur afterward are normally devoid of action, serving to tie up any loose ends and create a satisfying ending.
But sometimes, writers like to throw in one last confrontation. Perhaps The Dragon assaults the heroes in one last attempt to kill them, or the Big Bad has a final form that took a while to set up. Regardless of exactly how it occurs, though, our heroes will have to battle one more time before the day is saved.
A particularly extreme version of Your Princess Is in Another Castle! that occurs just when the plot seems ready to be over. In order for a particular plot point found within a story to be considered a proper example of a Post-Climax Confrontation, the event must initially follow these five distinct bits of criteria:
Firstly, the major threat of the day MUST be resolved. The Big Bad is defeated, or there is at least no sign that he survived just yet, there is no sign of The Man Behind the Man, no other hidden enemies waiting somewhere nearby to ambush the heroes. Examples of this trope are rarely the Big Bad.
Secondly, this conflict must be settled within the very same installment of the franchise that the work is a part of, and if the event simply leads into a new conflict that later instead gets settled within the very next installment, or if it just results in a Cliffhanger, it will not count.
Thirdly, which is the crucial bit: there must be closure since plot threads and character arcs are already being tied up, and in stories that feature traveling parties of characters, the parties have typically begun to split off, returning to their homelands, and as a result of such, the Post-Climax Confrontation found within those types of stories generally only happens to a select few of the given characters instead of the whole entire group all at once.
Fourthly, as this is a twist trope, the final confrontation must be both sudden and unexpected, and though the antagonist being confronted in question may or may not have had foreshadowing that he or she would be confronted, it is exactly when the conflict occurs that is oh so surprising since the plot and character threads are already being tied up.
And fifthly and finally, this is always the final confrontation, meaning that there are no more conflicts after this last surviving threat has been eliminated for good.
A subtrope is Dragon Their Feet, when The Dragon from earlier in the Sorting Algorithm of Evil returns unexpectedly for another go. Compare Post-Final Boss, for when video games throw in a Zero-Effort Boss right after the Final Boss battle.
Naturally, as with any and all other Ending Tropes out there, every single specific example of this trope found within each of the below folders can easily be considered a major spoiler in and of itself.

The Mental State ends with Zachary State finally being released from prison and struggling to adapt to life in the real world. All his enemies have been thrashed, ass his friends have their futures assured and he no longer needs to cheat, scheme or lie. Then Rose gets attacked by another street thug (just her luck), this time with the intention of killing her. To save her, Zachary has to pull off one final feat of manipulation, using an Obfuscating Insanity tactic to convince the mugger that he is an insane criminal pimp and crime-lord and chase him away.

This seems to have started somewhat of a tradition, as in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after defeating Steven and becoming Champion of Hoenn, the player must fight either May or Brendan, who will Mega Evolve their now fully-evolved starter, and in Sun and Moon, after defeating the Elite Four and Kukui and becoming Alola's first Champion, during the festival to commemorate the event, the player character and Lillie sneak off to the Ruins of Conflict and the player finally engages Tapu Koko, who must be either defeated or caught.

At the end of Wild ARMs, Zeikfried and Motherfried have been defeated, the efforts to drain Filgaia's life have been thwarted, and there's a good chance that its decay will even be reversed. The party takes the teleporter back to the earth and Zeikfried suddenly attacks them on the way down, having separated himself from Mother and becoming Zeik Tuvai.

In Patlabor The Movie, the main characters succeed in dismantling the Ark (which they are in too) into the ocean before the typhoon hits it, and the crisis seems to be over. However, when they regain consciousness having survived the events, a virus-infected prototype mecha that one of the characters was controlling emerges from the rubble and tries to kill everyone.

Star Trek: Enterprise seemed rather fond of this during the fourth season.
At the end of "The Augments", the augments are defeated and their ship self-destructs. As everyone is catching their breath, it turns out that augment leader Malik beamed over to Enterprise before the ship's destruction and attacks Archer.
Zig-zagged at the end of "Terra Prime", where Terra Prime have been defeated and their leaders arrested, but the Enterprise crew realise they have a mole on board and worry he will try and harm the Earth President, who is also on the ship. Instead, as soon as Archer locates the officer in question, he commits suicide out of guilt.

Phantom Blood ends on this note, with Dio, reduced to a head after Jonathan beat him in their initial battle, coming after him to exact his revenge. Which he unfortunately succeeds in doing by killing Jonathan but not his wife. Even when Jonathan attempts a Taking You with Me, this only delays Dio's plans as he eventually takes Jonathan's body as his own and returns to menace the Joestars' descendants again in Stardust Crusaders.

In Alien: Covenant, after the successful disposal of the first Protomorph, a second one gets successfully birthed right aboard the Covenant, forcing Captain Daniels to have to throw him right on out of the starship's main airlock within the easily most common Xenomorph specimen disposal fashion found anywhere within the franchise as a whole so far.

Naruto naturally has one between the eponymous hero and his longtime rival and best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. After all of the villains have been defeated, the only thing left is to free the remaining cast members from the Lotus-Eater Machine that was inflicted on them by said villains. Since Naruto and Sasuke have some issues they need to work out they decide to have one last fight in the very place where they had their first real fight, to settle things once and for all.

Steel Ball Run, in the many parallels it shares with Part 1, has one of these as well. When the Big Bad is defeated, walking (weakly) regained, and best friend and mentor killed after imparting his final lesson onto him, Johnny still has one last leg of the eponymous race to finish, which he fails to, thanks to the final battle of the part being against Diego Brando from another universe, complete with THE WORLD, that Valentine summoned to complete his plans should he fail.

Much like within the main films mentioned above, the Alien franchise video games have also even gotten in on the usage of this trope a couple of different times before:
In Aliens: Colonial Marines, after Christopher Winter and his crew successfully reboard the USS Resolute for a return trip to Earth, the Second Acheron Queen suddenly sneaks aboard the starship much like her famous predecessor from Aliens boarding the USS Sulaco, only for Christopher Winter himself to expunge the stowaway Second Acheron Queen using a sling-shot platform of sorts to do so.
In Alien: Isolation, just after the Sevastopol Station self-destructs and also crashes itself right on down into a nearby gas giant, Amanda Ripley soon comes face-to-face with another stowaway Xenomorph Drone aboard the Torrens one final time, only for her to then throw both herself and the stowaway Xenomorph Drone in question right on out of another nearby airlock to officially close out the game's main campaign.

In Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!, this trope actually gets subverted within the exact same manner as in the AVP: Alien vs. Predator example mentioned above in that Godzilla eventually comes and confronts the lead human protagonists one final time shortly following his devestating attack on Tokyo, only for his Atomic Breath to shoot out of his shoulder instead of his mouth, seemingly killing him off once that happens, but the subversion part of this example comes once his disembodied beating heart's shown during the film's very last shot before the end-credits, meaning that the central conflict surrounding him hasn't actually been resolved at all.

In the anime adaptation of Trigun, the very final battle with Greater-Scope Villain Knives is this. In contrast to Vash's immediately prior battle with Legato, which is extremely tense and deeply interrogates the series' Central Themes, Vash's fight with Knives takes on a more meditative tone, with little to no music and frequent interruptions by flashbacks to Vash and Knives' history together.

In Attack on Titan, Both Eren and the Source of All Life attempt to reunite to restart the Rumbling, with Eren taking on a Colossal Titan form and the Source titanizing nearly everyone, including Jean and Connie. Mikasa stops them both by entering Eren’s mouth and severing Eren’s human head from his spine, killing him.

Baten Kaitos has perhaps the most bizarre example. Xelha and Kalas go off into the Moonguile Forest in order for Xelha to "release the ocean inside of her" when suddenly the head of Emperor Geldoblame (thought to have been killed way back at the beginning of the second disk) pops out of the earth in an attempt to kill them. He is quickly defeated, and nothing more is spoken of it.

Near the end of the first Open Season film, just as Boog and the other forest creatures believe that their main tussle with the human hunters is all over, Shaw suddenly comes out of nowhere one final time in an attempt to take the aforementioned grizzly bear home with him as yet another hunting trophy of his, but the other forest creatures soon interfere with the attempt by completely coating Shaw in honey and leaves, embarrassing him to the point where he gets up and runs away as fast as possible without anything else ever being spoken of the recent incident afterwards.

Power Rangers
Happens twice in the two-part finale of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. Big Bad Mesagog is apparently defeated and his base destroyed in the climax of the first episode, with most of the second episode being taken up with a battle with his one-time Dragon Zeltrax. Once he's defeated, Mesagog suddenly reappears, having survived his base's destruction and mutated into a more powerful form, for one last battle.
Used in the finale of Power Rangers S.P.D.: the villains' plans are in ruins, the damsel saved, the major threat is destroyed and The Dragon arrested... when Emperor Gruum (who had suffered a Disney Villain Death earlier) crawls out of the rubble to challenge Commander Cruger to one last fight.
The epilogue of Power Ranger Super Dino Charge takes place on Christmas and featured a winter/Christmas themed Bad Santa Monster of the Week called Heximas who was revealed to be the last survivor of Sledge's Outlaws. With his cursed gifts, Heximas plans to turn everyone into his evil elves slaves and it's up to the heroes to stop him.

Several Discworld books end this way, in particular when the villain deserves to be dealt with specially after his scheme has been foiled, or who is fixated on getting revenge against the protagonist.
In Hogfather, Mr. Teatime survives the dissolution of his plan in the Tooth Fairy's realm and comes to the house where Susan is governess, implicitly threatening the children while aiming to take down Death.
In The Fifth Elephant Wolf survives a tumble over a waterfall and comes back to the embassy after Vimes. Vimes, being Genre Savvy, expects this and is extremely jumpy until it happens.
In Night Watch, after the battle of the Glorious Republic of Treacle Mine Road, Carcer brings his cronies along to confront Vimes one last time.
Defied in Snuff where the villain is taken out by a savvy Willikins before he can come back for Vimes' family.

James Bond
Icebreaker has an inversion; Bond learns that the Big Bad is still alive, and goes after him before he leaves the country.
After defeating the Big Bad in Death Is Forever, Bond is forced into a Knife Fight with his lover Monika Haardt in London as he tries to spend time with his girlfriend.
In The Man with the Red Tattoo, the main villain and his right-hand-man attack Bond in his hotel room after he foils their Evil Plan.
The Young Bond novel Blood Fever has two instances of it: a masked rider attacks Bond and Amy when they are moving away from the ruins of Count Carnifex's palace, and when they arrive at their destination, they find the Count's sister waiting for them, with a gun in her hand.

The conflict of the Endwalker expansion in Final Fantasy XIV and the Myth Arc involving the Ascians is effectively concluded after The Endsinger is defeated. Before the Warrior of Light returns home to their friends however, Zenos asks them to indulge in one last fight to the death, not as a hero but simply as someone who enjoys the thrill of combat. Even though he says he will not stop the Warrior if they choose to simply leave, he must be fought regardless of whether the Warrior agrees with his "Not So Different" Remark or just wants him dead.

A heroic version of this occurs in the ending of the Wicked musical; After Elphaba has faked her death, Glinda, believing that her best friend really has been killed, returns to the Emerald City, kicks out the Wizard of Oz, and has Madam Morrible thrown in prison. Unfortunately, she promised Elphie she wouldn't clear her name afterwards, so Glinda has to take responsibility for Oz alone while Elphie goes into self-imposed exile with Fieyro.

Subverted at the end of Samurai Champloo. At the end, everything else has been wrapped up and the bad guys have been defeated, so Mugen and Jin decide to finally have their long-awaited fight to the death that's been promised since the first episode. But the two's weapons have both become worn and dulled and they're both exhausted from the events of the last several episodes, so when they attempt to fight their swords instantly shatter after colliding and the two both collapse from weariness seconds after. They decided they're fine settling things on a draw.

Metal Gear:
In Metal Gear 2, the final battle against the Metal Gear D is followed by a fistfight against its pilot Gray Fox, then by a final final showdown against Big Boss himself, punctuated with an escape sequence.
In Metal Gear Solid it's much of the same, only this time it's a Metal Gear REX and you're only fighting the pilot — twice, the second time during the escape sequence.
In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Snake completes his mission, and is now on his way back to America with EVA; suddenly, they are assaulted by Ocelot. Cue a one-on-one close-quarters fight aboard the WIG, and finally an old school pistol duel between Snake and Ocelot.
In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the final battle with Liquid Ocelot happens after Snake stops him from destroying JD and, in the process, ends up wiping out the entire Patriot Network instead, destroying the true Big Bads of the series. Though of course, that was Ocelot's plan the entire time.

In Persona 4, the killer has been caught, the fog has been lifted from Inaba, and the protagonist is bids all his friends a fond farewell before leaving. However, if the player visits the Junes food court instead of returning home after saying his goodbyes, he'll meet up with the rest of the Investigation Team, who all realize that there are still loose plot threads left (such as how the Protagonist and the killer got their Personas) and that there might be someone else behind the entire incident. This sets the player on the path towards the True Final Boss and the Golden Ending.

In Fallout: New Vegas, after defeating Legate Lanius in the final battle in one way or another, the game is pretty much over. However, if the player takes the Mr. House or the Wild Card path they will then have to deal with General Oliver and the NCR, who will not accept Vegas as an independent city-state. You'll then have to convince them in some way, or just kill them all.

Used regularly in James Bond movies:
From Russia with Love: After defeating Red Grant and supposedly home free, Rosa Klebb turns up for some shoe-fighting action and forces the Bond Girl to decide where her loyalties lie.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Tragically used; after the wedding, Blofeld and his henchperson kill the new Mrs. Bond in a drive-by shooting.
Diamonds Are Forever: After defeating Blofeld's schemes, Mr Wint and Mr Kidd turn up for a "Bombe Surprise".
Live and Let Die: The Dragon TeeHee attacks Bond in the train.
The Man with the Golden Gun: Nick-Nack tried to attack Bond on the junk after he's defeated Scaramanga... like he had any chance.
The Spy Who Loved Me: For a moment it looks like Triple X is pulling one of these on Bond, but she changed her mind about killing him once the mission is over — she wants to shag him instead.
Tomorrow Never Dies: After Bond kills Carver, Stamper shows up with Wai Lin as his hostage and tries to drown her and finish him off. Bond traps him in the missile firing mechanism and leaves him to die while he saves her.
Casino Royale (2006): Just when you think that Bond is going to retire with Vesper, she pulls a Face–Heel Turn and sets up the final act. In this case, though, that was less of a Post-Climax Confrontation and more a case of a climax coming later than expected.

Subverted in Undertale. After the credits of the True Pacifist ending, the screen shows static and Asriel Dreemurr reappears in his God of Hyperdeath form, saying "Did you really think it was over?!"... only for him to revert back to his child self again and sheepishly state that they haven't done the Kickstarter credits yet.
It is played straight soon afterwards though, as if the player loads up Undertale again after completing the True Pacifist route and watching the credits go by, Flowey will appear and confront the player (not the player character but the actual player over how they are about to restart the game and deprive everyone, including the player character, of their happily ever after. He then says that if he can't change your mind, you should at least wipe his memory of the events of the game as well as everyone else's.

GaoGaiGar seemingly bends with the threat of Zonder Master Program. But then, cue two more episodes where it plays the first version of the opening. It turns out that Pasder had one last trick up his sleeve when he first crashed onto Earth: a parasite living within Mikoto that grew even before the whole conflict started, evolving into the final New Machine Species as a last ditch effort to destroy the GGG and Earth altogether.

The entire Awakening Expansion Pack for Dragon Age: Origins: the Archdemon has been defeated, the Blight is quelled, the Darkspawn are slowly retreating back underground... well, the latter not quite. Turns out, there is one loose end to the Fifth Blight, which needs to be cleaned up before the Thaw and rebuilding can settle in. Namely, the sentient Darkspawn Architect, who awakened the Archdemon in the first place, as well as his insane creation, the Mother.

Hwoarang's story in Tekken 4 has him beat Heihachi and win the King of Iron Fist Tournament in the match before the last one, where he goes to the Parking Garage stage and fights Jin Kazama. However, this is only semi-canon (Hwoarang didn't win the tournament and he never fought Jin but according to 5 he did go to the garage and get ambushed by the Korean military for his desertion that kicks off 4).

Blazblue Chronophantasma: After the Final Boss has been dealt with the giant superweapon, Takemikazuchi, Ragna still has to remove its core to shut it down completely, said core being Nu-13. But by this point, the plot has more or less been resolved and serves more as a denouement.

Even better, in Fallout 4, after you complete the game by siding with the Minutemen and destroying the Institute, you can work on an entirely optional mission where the Minutemen go to war with the Brotherhood of Steel and generally teach them a well-deserved lesson. Namely, by shelling their Cool Airship out of the sky and then holding the Castle against the remnants of the Brotherhood's army. And it is awesome.

In the manhua adaptation of The King of Fighters XII, the climax is a fight between Magaki against literally everyone that is still capable of fighting, and Magaki manages to tank a lot of punishment and take out dozens of combatants before he's finally neutralized. After the dust settles and loose ends are tied up, one last small-scale battle to satisfy a personal vendetta between Kyo Kusanagi and Ash Crimson ensues, which ends with the latter quickly making his leave.

Inscryption has the main threat of the third part of the game, P03, dealt with by his former colleagues after the player beats the last of his bosses. One of said colleagues then decides that deleting the game world is the best course of action after everything that's happened, and the player is challenged to no-stakes duels by each of them as their world ends. This is especially poignant with Leshy, who antagonized you throughout the entire first act; he will deliberately remove any stakes just so you can play a little longer before everything ends.

Zatch Bell! was about a battle between a hundred demon children for the throne of their world. After rivals Zatch and Brago succeed in destroying the ultimate Big Bad who'd reduce their homeland to nothing had he won, they must face each other. It is the about the only battle both combatants actually enjoy and there's nothing at stake as both Zatch and Brago achieved the maturity to become benevolent rulers.

In Alien³, Ripley successfully kills off the lone Xenomorph Runner specimen known as the "Dragon" in using a combination of molten lead and freezing sprinkler water, only for a man who resembles the Bishop Android along with a number of Weyland-Yutani soldiers to come and confront her regarding a Royal Chestburster currently incubating right inside of her, but rather than hand the new Xenomorph Queen embryo inside of her over to the Weyland-Yutani Coorporation, she instead chooses to throw herself right on down into the molten lead furnace below herself.

In Aliens, a somewhat similar scenario occurs where in which Ripley seemingly escapes the Xenomorph menace again, only for the First Acheron Queen to stab her dangerously barbed tail right on through the Bishop Android's torso and also split him right in half, prompting Ripley to throw the First Acheron Queen right out of the USS Sulaco's main floor airlock using a P-5000-Powered-Work-Loader this time around.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), this trope gets the subversion treatment again in that just as it seems that the other Titans are getting ready to battle Godzilla one final time just following King Ghidorah's final death, all that actually happens then is that the other Titans in question simply bow down to Godzilla during the film's very last several shots before the end-credits with Godzilla also roaring in victory on top of that.

Mega Man X: Command Mission pulls a rather sudden one. The Rebellion and its leader Epsilon have been defeated, X and the others are lauded as heroes, and X, Zero, & Axl are prepared to take an airlift back to their home. Story's over, right? Nope. When the airlift arrives, it fires at the Resistance base, killing R, as it turns out that the Maverick Hunter's own Commander Redips had been manipulating both the Rebellion and the Resistance in order to get his hands on the Supra-Force Metal.

Fallout:
In Fallout: New Vegas, after defeating Legate Lanius in the final battle in one way or another, the game is pretty much over. However, if the player takes the Mr. House or the Wild Card path they will then have to deal with General Oliver and the NCR, who will not accept Vegas as an independent city-state. You'll then have to convince them in some way, or just kill them all.
Even better, in Fallout 4, after you complete the game by siding with the Minutemen and destroying the Institute, you can work on an entirely optional mission where the Minutemen go to war with the Brotherhood of Steel and generally teach them a well-deserved lesson. Namely, by shelling their Cool Airship out of the sky and then holding the Castle against the remnants of the Brotherhood's army. And it is awesome.

The Lord of the Rings may be the most well-known example. The One Ring has been cast into the fires of Mordor, our heroes have gone their separate ways, and the hobbits are ready to return to their peaceful Shire... only to find that it has been taken over by Saruman, and they must take back their home from the evil Men that have enslaved their people. It was omitted from the Peter Jackson films, though the omission didn't stop many filmgoers from experiencing Ending Fatigue anyway.

In The Boxtrolls, Eggs and the boxtrolls have defeated Archibald Snatcher's Spider Tank and exposed his lies about the boxtrolls being baby-eating monsters... when Snatcher emerges from the remains of a giant cheese wheel, drunk on one of his "cheese fits", and holds Winnie hostage, blackmailing Lord Portley-Rind into handing over his hat and escorting Snatcher to his exclusive "tasting room". Fortunately, Snatcher's cheese obsession proves to be his own undoing.

Super Mario Bros.:
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time ends with the Shroob leader and her older sister defeated, and their invasion thwarted for good. Not really. As the Toadsworths take the Mario brothers to see a KO'd Bowser, the remains of the Elder Princess Shroob (which had been taken from the final battle) are consumed by him. The result is Shrowser, who the brothers must defeat using only counter-attacks.
Wario Land II: By completing the entire map and completing every level in all the story branches, the game will continue on from the main ending to The Really Final Chapter, where Wario steals Syrup's treasure as payback, complete with a Post-Final Boss, the giant spear man.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Just after the Big Bad is defeated, Yazoo and Loz show up to harass Cloud, trying to take him with them, either for revenge or because they want their "brother" to go with them (they're kind of childish). It doesn't end up being so much a fight as an explosion.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, the game itself takes place on an island you crashed on trying to get to a tournament. Once you beat the boss of the island/final boss of the game, you leave and go to the tournament, which is so incredibly easy and postscript-ish that it's mostly done offscreen save for the (still easy) final battle of it.

Better Bones AU: The story of the rewritten The New Prophecy apparently ends with Mothwing killing Hawkfrost, stopping his plans to reinstate Thistle Law and take over the Clans. But as a postscript, Mistyfoot realizes that Hawkfrost was just a symptom of the overall problem and, as long as Leopardstar is leader and enabling Thistle Law, it will continue to fester in RiverClan, leading to Mistyfoot fighting Leopardstar and killing her.

In Godzilla vs. Biollante, just as it seems that Godzilla's about to come and attack the main human heroes one final time after having some frigid ocean water eliminate the negative effects of the scientists' "anti-nuclear bacteria" on his body following his most recent confrontation with none other than Biollante herself, he suddenly turns around and heads back deeper into the nearby ocean, making for an easy subversion of this trope.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword pulls this in epic fashion. Link claims the Triforce from The Very Definitely Final Dungeon and uses it to destroy Demise, then finally reunites with Zelda...only for Ghirahim to reappear after being MIA for the entire third act. Ghirahim promptly kidnaps Zelda and uses a portal Link previously opened to travel into the past and free Demise there instead. Link goes after him, naturally, and faces off with him one last time before going straight into the Final Boss battle against Demise himself.

In Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, this trope is soon played straight again in that following King Ghidorah's supposed death, he soon gets brought back as "Mecha-King Ghidorah" and subsequently drops both himself and Godzilla down into the ocean, resolving that particular installment's central conflict afterwards, even though the latter Kaiju soon eventually returns during the events of Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth (1992).

In the second season, after the final battle with Maximus, Maximus, having survived the destruction of his fighter, later resurfaces at a party under the guise of a waiter and makes a last ditch effort to kill both the Avengers and Future Avengers, but he is promptly thwarted by Loki.

One Piece:
At the end of Thriller Bark arc, the heroes have won a Race Against the Clock, an Arc Villain's One-Winged Angel form has been defeated along with his henchmen, and it's time for quick Hollywood Healing and celebrating with Innocent Bystanders. A new island of adventure is already waiting for our heroes... Oh, wait a sec, there's still the Arc Villain's fellow Psycho for Hire who we forgot about because he has taken a stance of non-intervention. He is now about to attack right now, but this new confrontation is solved by Zoro.
This is kind of the case with Admiral Issho's assault on Luffy after Doflamingo is defeated in the Dressrosa Arc. All of the Doflamingo Family is taken care of, and the Dressrosa citizens' foremost grievances are resolved, yet another antagonist is provided within the arc at its last few chapters. Given that Issho is a Marine, soldiers who regularly capture pirates, it normally wouldn't be too surprising. However, Issho had plenty of moments prior to the confrontation where he places faith and even admiration in Luffy, as well as moments where he expressed disagreement with certain pirate-related principles that are core to the Marines at the current time of Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's leadership.

The last scene of Disney's The Three Musketeers (1993). After the heroes defeat Cardinal Richelieu and Rochefort and save the King and Queen, they're confronted by a group of thugs who started pursuing D'Artagnan at the beginning of the movie. It's been so long since the audience saw them that their appearance is a surprise.

Pokémon:
In Pokémon X and Y, after you beat the Elite Four and the Champion of the region, you receive a big parade for saving it from Lysandre and Team Flare. In the middle of it the former king AZ challenges you to a Pokémon fight.
This seems to have started somewhat of a tradition, as in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after defeating Steven and becoming Champion of Hoenn, the player must fight either May or Brendan, who will Mega Evolve their now fully-evolved starter, and in Sun and Moon, after defeating the Elite Four and Kukui and becoming Alola's first Champion, during the festival to commemorate the event, the player character and Lillie sneak off to the Ruins of Conflict and the player finally engages Tapu Koko, who must be either defeated or caught.

Even the Godzilla franchise has officially gotten in on the usage of this trope a few times before:
In Godzilla Raids Again, after Godzilla officially eliminates Anguirus during their dual within Osaka, the former later suddenly appears again within the Artic, only for a squadron of fighter-jets to soon bury him underneath of a layer of thick ice.
In Destroy All Monsters, after Godzilla and his friends successfully defeat his arch-nemesis, King Ghidorah, the humans soon suddenly end up battling a "burning monster" that's really just another UFO, and then they soon successfully defeat their extraterrestrial enemies once they hit it with a freeze-ray of sorts.
In All Monsters Attack, after Minilla successfully drives off his personal bully, Gabara, within a young boy's dream about visiting Monster Island, said young boy subsequently awakens and battles his personal in-real-life bully one final time using a fire extinguisher.
In Godzilla vs. Biollante, just as it seems that Godzilla's about to come and attack the main human heroes one final time after having some frigid ocean water eliminate the negative effects of the scientists' "anti-nuclear bacteria" on his body following his most recent confrontation with none other than Biollante herself, he suddenly turns around and heads back deeper into the nearby ocean, making for an easy subversion of this trope.
In Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, this trope is soon played straight again in that following King Ghidorah's supposed death, he soon gets brought back as "Mecha-King Ghidorah" and subsequently drops both himself and Godzilla down into the ocean, resolving that particular installment's central conflict afterwards, even though the latter Kaiju soon eventually returns during the events of Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth (1992).
In Godzilla (1998), after completely collapsing Madison Square Garden on some 200 baby Zillas, all seems fine for the humans right on up until Zilla Sr. reveals himself to actually still be alive after previously faking his death down within the Hudson River, leading the humans to lure him right on over towards and subsequently trap him atop the Brooklyn Bridge using a taxi where a squadron of fighter-jets then comes and actually kills him off this time around using a volley of twelve missiles to do so.
In Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!, this trope actually gets subverted within the exact same manner as in the AVP: Alien vs. Predator example mentioned above in that Godzilla eventually comes and confronts the lead human protagonists one final time shortly following his devestating attack on Tokyo, only for his Atomic Breath to shoot out of his shoulder instead of his mouth, seemingly killing him off once that happens, but the subversion part of this example comes once his disembodied beating heart's shown during the film's very last shot before the end-credits, meaning that the central conflict surrounding him hasn't actually been resolved at all.
In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), this trope gets the subversion treatment again in that just as it seems that the other Titans are getting ready to battle Godzilla one final time just following King Ghidorah's final death, all that actually happens then is that the other Titans in question simply bow down to Godzilla during the film's very last several shots before the end-credits with Godzilla also roaring in victory on top of that.

In Myth: The Fallen Lords, you fight and defeat the Big Bad in the epic and bloody 24th level, which is titled "The Last Battle". Then the survivors are magically teleported for the 25th level into another place where you have to throw the Big Bad's severed head inside a bottomless hole to definitely remove his evil taint from the world. Except his lieutenant Soulblighter is there with a small army, waiting for what remains of the forces of light and seeking to retrieve his boss' head. He fails, only to flee and come back for the sequel as a Dragon Ascendant.

In the Modesty Blaise novel A Taste for Death, the climax is the duel to the death and then the break-out of the prisoners being held by Delicata's gang. There follows a quieter chapter of Modesty recuperating from the injury she got in the duel, which is suddenly interrupted by Delicata showing up again and forcing a final showdown.

Luffy proves hopelessly outmatched in a one-on-one duel against Garp, but his steadfast refusal to surrender even in the face of overwhelming odds impresses Garp so much that he decides to let him go.

The penultimate scene in Serenity is a variation in which nothing actually comes of the confrontation. Having been spared by Mal in their earlier confrontation and subsequently ordered his men to provide medical attention for Mal and his crew, The Operative concedes defeat and walks away; he only kills for his cause, which is now lost. Mal tells him that if he ever sees him again, he might kill him. The Operative replies "you won't".

Prayer of the Faithless: Gauron is the main source of the conflict in the endgame, since killing him will limit the Fog being produced and end the threat of him becoming a rampaging Hellspawn. However, there's still a lower-stake conflict to be settled with Vanessa, since she wants to die in the Tower of Sinners while the party wants her to live and/or atone for her crimes the hard way.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Phantom Blood ends on this note, with Dio, reduced to a head after Jonathan beat him in their initial battle, coming after him to exact his revenge. Which he unfortunately succeeds in doing by killing Jonathan but not his wife. Even when Jonathan attempts a Taking You with Me, this only delays Dio's plans as he eventually takes Jonathan's body as his own and returns to menace the Joestars' descendants again in Stardust Crusaders.
Steel Ball Run, in the many parallels it shares with Part 1, has one of these as well. When the Big Bad is defeated, walking (weakly) regained, and best friend and mentor killed after imparting his final lesson onto him, Johnny still has one last leg of the eponymous race to finish, which he fails to, thanks to the final battle of the part being against Diego Brando from another universe, complete with THE WORLD, that Valentine summoned to complete his plans should he fail.

Having defeated the Antispiral and stopped the completion of the Time Prison, Third Super Robot Wars Z: Jigoku-hen ends much like the other games in the series, with the heroes talking about what they plan to do after splitting up, and all seems right with the world, until the player realizes that they haven't fought an original final boss yet. Cue alarms as Shikuu (who'd showed up throughout the game but hadn't had a formal introduction yet) appears, challenging the heroes.

Return of Ultraman
After reducing Yametaranese to a harmless pint-sized creature and lifting the laziness diesease unintentionally caused by the kaiju, Jack had to contend with Alien Sasahiller, the Man Behind the Man of Yametaranese's invasion.
One episode has Ultraman Jack fighting, and eventually defeating the giant robot Builgamo. Cue Builgamo's controller, Alien Baltan II, coming out to confront Jack.
Ultraman Ace
In one episode Ultraman Ace had to fight the Flaming Sword-wielding monster Firemons, and then Firemons' master, Alien Fire.

Happens twice in the two-part finale of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. Big Bad Mesagog is apparently defeated and his base destroyed in the climax of the first episode, with most of the second episode being taken up with a battle with his one-time Dragon Zeltrax. Once he's defeated, Mesagog suddenly reappears, having survived his base's destruction and mutated into a more powerful form, for one last battle.

The Doma arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! ends this way: The serpent god of the Orichalcos has been defeated, everyone's had their souls restored, and the heroes are about to make their escape. Right before Yami Yugi can follow the others, the possessed spirit of Dartz shows up and there's one final episode where he has to finally cleanse Dartz's soul and put it to rest before everything's over.

In the PSP remake of Star Ocean, if Cyuss joined the party then after the final boss is defeated and right before he returns home to his timeline he'll challenge Roddick to a private match so the two can personally see which one of them is stronger. It doesn't matter whether you win the fight or not, but it does affect the dialogue between the two of them at the end.

Then Ragyo's assistant, Rei, shows up, reveals some Life Fiber clones of the Elite Four and attacks the heroes with the school's defense system (which the heroes didn't get to use beforehand) in a last-ditch effort to avenge Ragyou. What's more, the heroes have to fight her without their Goku uniforms.

Sailor Moon S. After the defeat of the Death Busters and the destruction of Pharaoh 90, the day is seemingly saved. After a tearful farewell, Chibiusa departs to the future, leaving Usagi and co. Unbeknownst to them, one last Daimon pod survived in the burning remains of Mujin Academy, the villains' headquarters. It crawled into the Daimon oven and combined with it into Rangy. The Daimon immediately went into a pure heart collecting rampage. During the battle with the Sailor Senshi, it proved to be too powerful for them. It took the intervention of a returning Chibiusa and a distraction by Tuxedo Mask to tip the scales and allow Sailor Moon to destroy the Daimon for good.

In Godzilla (1998), after completely collapsing Madison Square Garden on some 200 baby Zillas, all seems fine for the humans right on up until Zilla Sr. reveals himself to actually still be alive after previously faking his death down within the Hudson River, leading the humans to lure him right on over towards and subsequently trap him atop the Brooklyn Bridge using a taxi where a squadron of fighter-jets then comes and actually kills him off this time around using a volley of twelve missiles to do so.

Casino Royale (2006): Just when you think that Bond is going to retire with Vesper, she pulls a Face–Heel Turn and sets up the final act. In this case, though, that was less of a Post-Climax Confrontation and more a case of a climax coming later than expected.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time ends with the Shroob leader and her older sister defeated, and their invasion thwarted for good. Not really. As the Toadsworths take the Mario brothers to see a KO'd Bowser, the remains of the Elder Princess Shroob (which had been taken from the final battle) are consumed by him. The result is Shrowser, who the brothers must defeat using only counter-attacks.

This has become somewhat common in recent seasons of Pretty Cure where one final Monster of the Week shows up after the Big Bad is taken out and the Cures must defeat it. Usually, this also results in an Early-Bird Cameo from the next season's leading Cure.

In Rurouni Kenshin (manga only), Kenshin explains to Saito that, due to one thing and another, his body is rapidly deteriorating and soon he won't be able to fight anymore. Thus he offers Saito a duel to settle things once and for all, to put to rest the ghost of their bitter past. Saito declines, stating that Kenshin is no longer the man he wanted to defeat. It's as much bittersweet as it's heartwarming.

An '80s (or before) anime version of Jack and the Beanstalk greatly expanded the story, having Jack rescue a princess and fight a Maleficent-like evil witch who had taken over the kingdom in the sky. The good guys prevail and the evil witch is vanquished. All seems well, until her giant son Tulip shows up and chases Jack. Jack is forced to climb down the beanstalk with Tulip in pursuit, and chop it down while Tulip's still climbing after him — thus cutting off access to the kingdom in the sky and the princess.

Sometimes employed in Metroid games. Specifically, in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the "real" final boss is Emperor Ing. During the Escape Sequence, you get ambushed by Dark Samus one last time, whom you must quickly defeat within the time limit. In Metroid Fusion, you fight an Omega Metroid under nearly identical circumstances. Both fights are short and mainly just to avert What Happened to the Mouse? and showcase Samus regaining her normal power, respectively.

After finally dealing with zombie animals, the Society, and the Lake Ghost, everything is peaceful and the Main Character can have their happily ever after, right? Wrong. One last remaining member, Richard Sutcliffe, kidnaps them and ferries them to the middle of the lake locked in a coffin as revenge, leaving the Main Character to die a watery grave. Depending on the choices made, your character will indeed die, or they will break through, swim back to surface and confront Richard once and for all.

In Prometheus, this trope is finally played straight again much like with each of the original Quadrilogy examples mentioned above in that Doctor Elizabeth Shaw has one last encounter with a surviving Engineer within a downed escape pod, who she then locks up within a separate room with the Trilobite Facehugger, which then later results in the birthing of the Xenomorph Deacon who's then absolutely never shown or even mentioned at all afterwards for whatever reason.

Blazblue has two, in the third and fourth games respectively.
Blazblue Chronophantasma: After the Final Boss has been dealt with the giant superweapon, Takemikazuchi, Ragna still has to remove its core to shut it down completely, said core being Nu-13. But by this point, the plot has more or less been resolved and serves more as a denouement.
Blazblue Central Fiction: After defeating his Arch-Enemy Yuuki Terumi/Susanoo for good, Ragna has two final fights with Noel and Jin respectively. Because in order to restore the world back to normal, Ragna has to erase the memory of himself from everyone. This one is especially poignant since this serves as the Grand Finale for the series` current story arc.

Terraria: In a sense, ridding the world of all the Corruption/Crimson and Hallow after defeating the Moon Lord, being the last practical goal of the entire playthrough now that it really has nothing left for you or the current world to benefit from, and with endgame armor, none of the enemies will pose much of a threat as you cleanse the world of them for good.
