Great job, everyone. You've routed the Big Bad, foiled the Evil Plan, destroyed the superweapon, and saved the day! Time to celebrate your hard-earned victory, right? Of course not. Here's where somebody, usually the leader, reminds everyone to be ready for more, because the job is just starting. The Big Bad was thwarted, but he'll be back. The planet has more Phlebotinum, and if they ever got enough, they could conquer the galaxy. There's blueprints for more doomsday weapons out there. In short, the battle may be over, but, as the saying goes, The War Has Just Begun. Sometimes the villain will say this. "You may have won the battle but..." That's more of a We Will Meet Again thing though, unless of course he's telling his own troops. Contrast Rousing Speech. Also see War Was Beginning and Won the War, Lost the Peace. |

On Angel, Wolfram and Hart usually makes a point of arguing that "the war has just begun," and this always proves to be true; even, or especially, in the series finale. | |

Pretty much the entirety of the Honor Harrington book Field of Dishonor is devoted to the Manticoran military and their allies in the Centrist party trying to persuade the rest of Manticore's political class that just because Haven was defeated in pretty much every battle in the opening salvo of the Manticoran-Havenite war doesn't mean that Haven is now going to go home, lick their wounds, and leave Manticore is peace. | |

Dune: Part Two: While the Harkonnens are definitively defeated, and Paul ascends the throne, the Great Houses of the Imperium refuse to acknowledge this, and Paul is left with little choice but to enforce his will upon the rest of the Imperium, kicking off the holy war he was otherwise fighting to avoid. Indeed, Jessica states as much to Alia, that the war is on. | |

The Night Unfurls: Celestine quotes this trope at the end of Chapter 3 of the original, signifying the reality that Eostia has Won the War, Lost the Peace. A variation is present in the remastered version, as Vault reveals his Evil Plan to Kyril, who insists that the war against Olga is over. |

Harry Potter uses the chapter title "The Second War Begins" in Order of the Phoenix after Voldemort was defeated in the Department of Mysteries, but when the Ministry of Magic began to recognize the war on Voldemort himself. Amusingly, the final chapter of the previous book had been "The Beginning", with a fairly similar implication. | |

Done very harshly in Halo: Reach in the middle of the game. Roughly the first half of the game consists of fighting a Covenant strike force that has found the planet Reach. With the human fleet still days away, a boarding team manages to take out both capital ships of the battle group, buying time to prepare defenses for the main battle that is to come. No less than 30 seconds after the blast, while the fireball is still fading in the sky, the automated defense system reports "Slipstream Rupture detected". ... "Slipstream Rupture detected." ... "Slipstream Rupture detected." "Slipstream Rupture detected." ... "Slipstream Rupture detected." "Slipstream Rupture detected." The Cavalry Arrives Late, but it doesn't make a difference for the defenders. | |

XCOM: Enemy Unknown plays a cutscene after you assault the aliens' hidden base on Earth and kill the Sectoid Commander leading it, where everyone in Mission Control is celebrating your victory. When your head scientist walks in and asks what's the big deal, Central Officer Bradford explains "We just neutralized their central command, we've got no other alerts on the entire system, and we took our their leader. In my book, that's a win, doctor." Dr. Vahlen just gives him a Disapproving Look before going back to the lab, and in a subsequent cutscene shows off an alien communication device recovered from their base, and asks the obvious question: "If the Sectoid Commander was the alien leader, then who, or what, was it communicating with?" Sure enough, the war is by no means over, and the aliens' actual leader caste begins appearing during subsequent missions, along with their elite forces. And with the Enemy Within expansion, less than a month after you attack their base, the aliens retaliate by attacking XCOM HQ. The popular XCOM: Long War mod has the tagline "The invasion has only just begun." It's not just a lot longer than a normal XCOM campaign, it's much more difficult, enough so that Jake Solomon, XCOM:EU's lead designer, has admitted "We're basically a 20-hour tutorial for Long War, and that's okay." |

In 1986, Roddy Piper uttered this very line in the trope definer (at least as far as professional wrestling goes), after he destroyed the set of the Flower Shop (rival "Adorable" Adrian Adonis' talk-show segment), in retaliation for a 3-on-1 attack that saw Piper beaten beyond unconsciousness and the Piper's Pit set destroyed a week earlier. | |

In The Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker says this almost word for word, though this is inverted, since the war not being over yet is a good thing for the broken and helpless Resistance. Luke refutes Kylo Ren's assertion that the war is over, since he and Rey have given the Resistance a chance to survive and keep fighting. | |

The Farscape wrap-up mini-series starts with Scorpius attacking a Scarran fleet, sparking the war that has been brewing for so long. When the Grand Chancellor contacts him, he "congratulates" Scorpius on starting the last war of the Peacekeepers. Interestingly, it's implied by the show that the victor in such a war will not be either the Peacekeepers or the Scarrans. The Nebari, being a superpower to rival the other two (they don't even have dedicated warships, as their civilians ships can pretty much beat any warship of the other two powers), is likely to fill the resulting power vacuum. |

Command & Conquer: An example that's most delightful in its camp is from the opening cutscene of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. After the Rasputin-like psychic Yuri destroys the American nuclear capabilities, paving the way for Soviet invasion, the following exchange takes place. Inverted at the end of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight: even though Kane is well and truly gone this time (we think), the world refuses to believe it. Understandable, since they thought he'd died in at least three separate wars before then. |

Basically the final paragraph is a reminder that, though they have finally unraveled the last of the Shadowlord's Xanatos Gambit, the man himself is still around and can afford to spend a few generations thinking up and implementing a new Xanatos Gambit. | |

A variation of the phrase appears in Emperor: Battle for Dune, by the same developers as the above example. In the campaign opening, as the Great Houses declare a new war for Arrakis, a Spacing Guild representative says that the old war has begun again. His Bene Gesserit companion corrects him, saying it has never ended. | |

Warhammer 40,000 is perpetually stuck on the precipice of galactic extinction. The endless hordes of the Tyranids are still just beginning to reach the galaxy, the Necrons have only just started to wake up, the Tau have just begun to expand outside their fortified Empire, and the forces of Chaos are gearing up for yet another Black Crusade to crush the Imperium forever. | |

Near the end of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, the Turtles have de-mutated Tokka and Rahzar, as well as beaten of the most remaining Foot ninja and Tatsu. Then, the Shredder shows up to tell them, "The battle is yours... but the war is far from over, so long as I possess this!", and reveals he has more ooze to create more mutants. It soon becomes a moot point though. | |

In the pilot movie for Battlestar Galactica, the surviving humans are reloading on Ragnar Station. President Laura Roslin is trying to get Commander Adama to forget about trying to fight the Cylons. She tells him, "The war is over, and we lost." Adama replies, "It hasn't begun." Later, he changes his mind. | |

XCOM 2 ends with a mass uprising against the ADVENT Administration, but Earth isn't fully liberated yet, leading a Resistance leader to urge humanity to keep fighting and know that help is on the way. The War of the Chosen expansion adds an even more ominous epilogue, where Geist and the Templars look over the aftermath of the final campaign mission, suggesting that whatever the Ethereals claimed to be fighting against is about to hit Earth. | |

Inverted at the end of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight: even though Kane is well and truly gone this time (we think), the world refuses to believe it. Understandable, since they thought he'd died in at least three separate wars before then. | |
