As an audience, we know that a doomed character can be saved at the last minute. There's always an 11th-Hour Superpower, Deus ex Machina, or Big Damn Heroes moment to rescue them. Other times, we get an on-screen death, or even a Fate Worse than Death. Very rarely, though, characters can be left in limbo; there's still a last minute, but we never see what happens after that. This trope is the fate of any character who possibly didn't make it, but is never actually proven dead. This can happen at any point in a story, but happens so frequently at the end that we have tropes devoted specifically for that situation. Rule of thumb: if Uncertain Doom occurs at the ending of an entire work, it's probably a Bolivian Army Ending. If Uncertain Doom happens at the end of an installment of the work (like a novel or season), it's probably a Bolivian Army Cliffhanger. Asking the creators for clarity usually will get you nowhere, as they often aren't entirely sure themselves. If they do confirm the character's death, the ambiguity of this trope allows them to get away with bringing the character back anyway should they change their minds. When the audience doesn't even know if the characters are in danger, see Chuck Cunningham Syndrome and What Happened to the Mouse?. If Fridge Logic leads fans to assume this happened to one of the good guys, it can result in an Inferred Holocaust. A Super-Trope to: Bolivian Army Ending — When an entire work ends with The Heroes almost certainly going down in a blaze of glory. Bolivian Army Cliffhanger — As above, but restricted to a single plot arc, and sometimes (but not always) gets resolved later. Inferred Survival — Inverse of Never Found the Body, in that the character is not assumed to be dead. Never Found the Body — Everyone assumes a character is dead, but there's no conclusive evidence (like a corpse) to prove it. Normally, I Would Be Dead Now — A character is subjected to potentially lethal wounds, but is still alive when last seen, or perhaps alternatively the character seems dead but could just be unconscious or Playing Possum based on the wounds not seeming too severe. Our Hero Is Dead — The main character dies... except not really. However, these subtropes tend to resolve the uncertainty of who's actually dead and who's still alive, as long as the next installment is made. Compare He's Just Hiding, where the character is almost definitely dead, even if some people out-of-universe insist otherwise. Compare and contrast Killed Offscreen, which can be a subversion of this trope. For characters that are literally between life and death, see Mortality Grey Area. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor: Villain Mad Bomber seems to become disintegrated after getting caught by his own telekinetic blast. In the aftermath of the battle, though, Supergirl and her friend Lena notice neither of them saw him exploding, so they wonder if he merely caused an explosion to conceal his escape. The truth is never revealed, whatever it may be. | |

Hooded Justice from Watchmen simply vanished from public view. Ozymandias theorizes that the Comedian killed him, but he could have simply retired, and the truth may never be known. Hooded Justice does appear alive in Watchmen (2019) and is revealed to be black, but the TV show is not strictly canonical to Moore’s original work so must be taken with a grain of salt. | |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): The fate of Vivienne Graham's elderly mother Susan — it's ambiguous for a while whether Susan is still alive in the present, or she died during the time inbetween Vivienne's Only Mostly Dead and her and San's escape from captivity (either from old age or during the global Titan rampage depicted in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)). Subverted when Susan's status is finally revealed in Chapter 11. | |

Sleepless Domain: The fate of Cassidy Tailor remains unknown following her apparent death at the hands of the Purple One's monsters, as destroying both of her clones at once caused her to simply vanish without leaving a trace. Anemone, the comic's almost-omniscient narrator, offered some cryptic clarification shortly afterwords, remarking that she "[doesn't] see her anywhere anymore." | |

A Crusade Of Blood And Dust: Most of the Remnant characters, those who survived the Horus Heresy, went on to achieve great things such as founding important Imperial Noble Houses or, in Roman's case, a Rogue Trader Dynasty. All except Ruby Rose who, after becoming a legendary Huntress and an extended tour with the Death Guard (during which she befriended Mortarion and helped prevent his Start of Darkness) apparently disappeared shortly before the outbreak of the Heresy; all that's known is that she boarded a ship bound for Remant and that it never exited the Warp; she was never heard from again. Given the way time tends to work in the Warp, however, that doesn't mean she won't be. | |

In The Third Kryptonian, villain Amalak smashes the Bottle City of Kandor — not the genuine article but a bottle-shaped interface between an alien ghetto trapped in a dimensional warp and the real world. Superman can't reach Kandor and find out if its inhabitants are still alive, dead or wounded... and he never finds out, because the whole matter was forgotten when the real Kandor was found a few months later. | |

RWBY: After thrashing Weiss in battle, the White Fang Lieutenant is never seen again. The villains confirm that a lot of Faunus died in the tunnels after the train crashed, but it's never confirmed if the lieutenant is one of them. He is simply never seen again. Shay D. Mann is last seen guarding the entrance to the tribe's camp with two companions when Cinder, Watts, Mercury, and Emerald arrive; the scene ends with Emerald drawing her weapons. When the four arrive in the camp, two of the guards are seen in the background watching the confrontation with Raven but Shay is nowhere to be seen. It's unclear if he was just incapacitated or if he was killed. |

Godot, the main prosecutor from Trials and Tribulations. It's made very clear by the end that he's in extremely frail health and had his face slashed with a knife, meaning that, even without the risk of a death penalty, it's unclear if he survived for much longer past the events of the game. The fact he's never so much as mentioned after Tribulations and that he's shown in a drawing along with the very much dead Mia and Misty Fey at the end doesn't bode particularly well, however. | |

SMG4: Heavily downplayed with Francis in the Anime Arc. While we know he’s dead, we don’t know how exactly he died, as it’s possible that the Ink Zuccer may have killed him before the island exploded. Played straight with Zero in the Genesis Arc. While it appears he got completely wiped from existence after Axol’s death, James Bailey (SMG3’s voice actor) confirmed that Zero’s story isn’t over yet, though he couldn’t go further in due to NDAs, so it’s possible either Zero is still alive and is plotting revenge, or that he is truly dead and we may just learn more about him in the future. His words proved true when Zero (or rather, his Big Bad Friend Niles, who'd been in control of his body from the start) would be the Final Boss of the Revelation Arc. |

SCP Foundation: Due to the site's philosophy of "the only canon is that there is no canon", a lot of characters are subject to this trope. For example, SCP-096, a monster that kills anyone who sees its face, be it in person or in a photograph/video feed, is slated for immediate termination due to an incident wherein it escaped and destroyed a small population center. However, it is not listed as a terminated SCP, leaving its status unknown. | |

At the end of Robin Hood (1973), the crocodile guard captain is never seen, heard, nor mentioned again after the Sheriff accidentally burns down Prince John's mother's castle, and is not even seen being arrested nor sentenced to hard labor as punishment like with the other villains, implying that he may have actually died in the fire instead. On the other hand, considering the previous implications of him being a Punch-Clock Villain with no particular loyalty to Prince John, it's also possible that he was let off the hook like his compatriots Nutsy and Trigger. | |

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War: Wonder Girl appears briefly at Titans Tower during the opening. Unlike the other Titans, we never learn her fate, as she isn't among the bodies shown during the Paradooms' attack on the Tower, yet unlike Robin, Superboy, and Raven, she also doesn't appear after it. We also aren't shown for sure if Swamp Thing, Batwoman, and Batwing do die. We see Swamp Thing swarmed by the Paradooms, Batwoman tackled off one of the towers, and Batwing shot out of the sky, but we aren't shown anything that indicates they died. |

The Order of the Stick: Thog is last seen when Roy defeats him by tricking him into collapsing part of a stadium on top of himself. Afterwards, Tarquin says that they won't be sure if he survived until he's dug out of the wreckage. Later dialogue to Nale implies he survived, but Tarquin might just have not wanted to let on that he got Thog killed. It's never resolved whether Miron and Laurin managed to escape the Snarl, although it's not likely. Spoofed when Belkar is thrown out a window and off the mountain of the Godsmoot by the vampirized Durkon. Several strips later, he's revealed to have survived, thanks to a Feather Fall item he had obtained, but he's not happy, not just because he was thrown off a mountain, but because the comic left his fate in suspense for about twenty strips. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Gith, the legendary hero and liberator of the gith species, was adviced by her trusted advisor Vlaakith to seek out aid in their war against the mind flayers from the dragon goddess Tiamat. Vlaakith and Gith went together to Tiamat's lair in the nine hells, but only Vlaakith returned. She told the githyanki that Tiamat had pledged some of her dragons to their cause, and that Gith had declared Vlaakith her regent until she returned from some mystical quest. The obvious implication is that Vlaakith fed Gith to Tiamat, but nothing has ever been stated for certain. | |

In Crucible, it's unclear what happens to villain Rendll after getting defeated by Maxima. On the one hand, Maxima runs an energy dagger through Rendll's neck as shouting she'll kill her if Maxima's teammate Comet dies at hands of Rendll's partners. On the another hand, Maxima had shortly before driven an energy dagger into Rendll's neck, and it barely inconvenienced her. Did she get killed or merely knocked out? Either way, Rendll isn't seen or talked about again. | |

Magick Chicks: The fates of Faith, Jacqui, and the student council are unknown following the teleportation incident, since Cerise claims to have transported them all into a volcano. Whether there's any truth to what Cerise said, or not, Tandy believes they're all dead. We do find out their fate out later: Cerise did teleport them into a live volcano. But she overdid the spell, so she also teleported a large enough chunk of the ground underneath their feet that it allowed them to escape. | |

Ice Age: In the first movie, Soto's minion Zeke gets his head stuck in the hollow of a rock while trying to kill Sid. The movie gives no indication of if he managed to get himself out or if he died in there. The pterosaur in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Captain Gutt in Ice Age: Continental Drift is last seen being attacked by a siren-like lungfish, with more coming to join in. While one can assume they kill him, there are comedic noises during their attack and Gutt's noises of pain sound more like he just stepped into a really hot bath with cold feet, so it is unclear or not if they really did kill him. However, with no more ships or crewmen, we can assume Gutt’s days of piracy are over regardless of his fate. |

Transformers: Armada: In the comic series, the Destruction Mini-con team, who've been a thorn in Megatron's side, are absent when all the mini-cons are gathered together. When asked, Megatron says that they're "better off without them." The author, Simon Furman, mentions that Megatron strapped them to a rocket and shot them into the sun, which was an empty threat he made to Cyclonus earlier in the cartoon, leaving their fates ambiguous. | |

Laurie Lemmon enters the basement, sporting a broken arm. She comforts Prime, telling him that "they" heard him, and that they sent her to tell him that they are sorry for what they did to him, and are going to leave him alone — "they" being previously mentioned as being the writers at DC Comics. As they embrace, a Black Lantern ring is shown on Laurie's hand detects the hope within Prime's heart, implying she is really a Black Lantern and is manipulating him into feeling hope before she kills him.

Drago Bludvist from How to Train Your Dragon 2 was originally supposed to come back in the third film but his role was written out, leaving his fate in the second movie unknown. However, since he has been stated to be "defeated" and The Remnant of his army still fight Hiccup, it is likely that he drowned when his Bewilderbeast submerged in the water. This is even more likely because he had only one arm, thus making it much harder for him to swim. | |

Girl Genius: Princess Zulenna. The last the reader hears of her, Baron Wulfenbach orders her to be revived after being stabbed by Bangladesh DuPree. In-universe, that was somewhere around three years ago; out of universe, she died in August 2004. Tarvek brings up her death as one of his failings in trying to protect people he cares about in a 2019 strip, but it's unclear if she'd been revived or not as her family would consider her good as dead and her titles and inheritance would be forfeit. Agatha's father and uncle, who disappeared at separate times years before the comic starts. Gottmurg Snarlantz, the spark who created the slaver wasp capable of infecting sparks, is from a town that was entirely overrun by Revenants of his own making, but three other Order members were able to safely recover things from his lab so while it's implied he's dead it's unclear what really happened to him. In an arc set in the future, infamous hero Othar Tryggvassen is considered to be "lost", so he probably won't be asking for any of his stuff back. |

Santa Versus Dracula: The fight between Rumspringer and Mr. Hyde ends with both of them collapsing as the glow in Rumpsringer's nose goes out and Mr. Hyde turns back into Dr. Jekyll. The implications of Rumpsringer's nose ceasing to glow aside, it isn't directly stated whether they died or not. Near the end of the story, Wintry appears possessing the Frankenstein Monster through his enchanted hat after his original snowman body melted and fights the Yeti transformed into a werewolf. Both of them end up going down a cliff, but the respective beings' demonstration of toughness makes it doubtful that the fall could've killed them. |

BattleTech: The Trial of Annhilation against Clan Wolverine. In-universe, all that is known is that A) after the Trial was complete, comparing casualty lists to the rolls of Wolverines showed a large discrepancy, B) much of Clan Wolverine's warriors were descended from the Star League's 331st Royal BattleMech division, whose unit patch bore an icon of the state of Minnesota, C) about a year after the Annhilation, a mysterious group called "The Minnesota Tribe" raided through Draconis Combine territory before just as mysteriously vanishing into parts unknown. How much of Clan Wolverine survived, what happened to them after the events of the Annhilation, if they really are connected to the Minnesota Tribe, and where they ultimately went is the source of much speculation in-universe. Out-of-universe, it's been pretty well confirmed that the Minnesota Tribe are Wolverine survivors, but there is still no canon information about what happened to them afterwards. | |

However, a flashback in Prime's last appearance shows him reconnection with Laurie and them to be happy, implying she is the real Laurie Lemmon and that they are happy. The demon Ordox in Supergirl (1972), who chooses to bring his mountain down rather than letting himself be captured by Supergirl and Zatanna. Both heroines theorize that Ordox possibly died with his mountain, but his fate is never revealed. In The Third Kryptonian, villain Amalak smashes the Bottle City of Kandor — not the genuine article but a bottle-shaped interface between an alien ghetto trapped in a dimensional warp and the real world. Superman can't reach Kandor and find out if its inhabitants are still alive, dead or wounded... and he never finds out, because the whole matter was forgotten when the real Kandor was found a few months later. The Krypton Chronicles: While investigating the life of his ancestor Val-El, Superman learns that, after reaching the continent of Lurvan and founding Argo City, Val-El and his men went to explore the interior. Eventually, they reached the Valley of Juru... and they disappeared from the face of the planet. Nobody knows what happens to them because no one who ever entered Juru afterwards returned. In Crucible, it's unclear what happens to villain Rendll after getting defeated by Maxima. On the one hand, Maxima runs an energy dagger through Rendll's neck as shouting she'll kill her if Maxima's teammate Comet dies at hands of Rendll's partners. On the another hand, Maxima had shortly before driven an energy dagger into Rendll's neck, and it barely inconvenienced her. Did she get killed or merely knocked out? Either way, Rendll isn't seen or talked about again. The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor: Villain Mad Bomber seems to become disintegrated after getting caught by his own telekinetic blast. In the aftermath of the battle, though, Supergirl and her friend Lena notice neither of them saw him exploding, so they wonder if he merely caused an explosion to conceal his escape.

In the Star Trek Logical Thinking video about the Appeal to Emotions, some colonists are missing and nobody knows if they're dead or alive. Nurse Chapel says they have to be alive as three of them are/were kids and the Death of a Child is too horrible to think about. Spock points out that this is a logical fallacy, but he still hopes they're alive. We never find out. | |

In Nomine: Officially, Uriel was taken by God to the Higher Heavens until the end of days to prevent Heaven from descending into another civil war over Uriel's bloody crusade against the Marches. Unofficially, there are various theories that he's been imprisoned by any of various Archangels or simply executed by the Seraphim Council. No-one knows for sure, but its notable that, when the end of days were imminent in The Last Trumpet, there was no trace of him... | |

Dark Times: The Fire Carrier arc features a sympathetic Imperial officer who eventually starts bringing supplies to a group of Order 66 survivors every year. One year, he doesn't show up. The Jedi suspect that he died in the Galactic Civil War but acknowledge he may have only been transferred off-world or gotten married (with his new family needing the credits he'd previously used to buy them supplies). | |

Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness ends with Ash escaping the zombie-infested dimension via Dr. Doom's portal only to end up in a dimension inhabited by werewolf superheroes, and the last frame is a shot of them running after him. Qualifies as a Bolivian Army Ending for Ash, but the crossover is a prequel for the entire Marvel Zombies universe. | |

Darth Vader : In The Ghost Prison: It is said that the remaining followers of Gentis are rounded up and executed, but the general whose recruitment to the plot was shown in detail earlier on is not explicitly shown. Although only Shonn Volta is shown getting an Imperial commission, only fourteen of the other thirty-two remaining prisoners from the Ghost Prison are shown boarding the booby-trapped shuttle, although some of the others may have died in the battle. In The Lost Command: At the end of the first issue, Vader is preparing to drown several local prisoners when Lady Saro appears and offers to bargain with him, but it is never shown if her bargain included Vader sparing their lives. Many of the soldiers helping Saro, Garoche, and Shale are alive when last seen, but their fate is unclear after the Empire plans to continue attacking the sector and will show no mercy to any Rebels they find. In The Ninth Assassin, three of the first eight assassins hired to kill Vader are dead and the other five have vanished. The majordomo of the ninth assassin is confident those five died and wouldn’t have quit the job and fled with their advance payments, but the sheer formidability and infamy of Vader may have caused at least some of those five to chicken out of following their contract. In The Cry of Shadows: A Cerean Jedi shown being arrested and captured soon after Order 66 faces likely execution or torture to become an Inquisitor, but his exact fate is never shown. After cutting one Jedi in half during a montage scene, Vader shoves three others off a cliff, but it isn’t a very high cliff, so their fate is ambiguous. After Hock tries to stop the final massacre, it is unclear if Vader kills all of the Handicapped Badass hospital patients who try to stand up to him or just some of them. General Farstar is the only Rebel Leader not shown being killed, although some of his allies only hear static when they try to radio him at one point. |

In Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, Ash's Squirtle declares himself the Sole Survivor of the Squirtle Squad. A sidestory reveals that he was separated from them by a cave-in during an ambush in an underground route, and believes they were all buried alive. However, The Stinger of that sidestory reveals that at least one of them survived. | |

Astro City: Plenty of characters simply vanish between stories with no obvious cause. Given the difficult line of work they live in and the lack of Comic-Book Time, it's not quite clear if they've died in battle, moved away, or simply retired. | |

Ace Attorney: In general, while it's usually somewhat implied the true culprit of a case is facing the death penalty, there's only been two explicitly confirmed cases of this actually happening: Dahlia Hawthorne and Manfred Von Karma.note And in the latter's case, it's not even explicitly stated that they got the death penalty, only that they are "gone from this world", meaning they may have died in prison by other means. Every other time, it's more ambiguous, and considering that Frank Sahwit shows up alive and well in Gyakuten Kenji 2, it's possible it only applies to premeditated murder. The fate of Matt Engarde. At the end of his trial, he's found guilty, but more importantly, he betrayed the professional assassin Shelly de Killer, who gets really angry at clients betraying his trust. He's definitely never going to be bothering anyone again, but it's unknown whether he spent the rest of his life in prison, got the death penalty, or was murdered in prison by de Killer. Godot, the main prosecutor from Trials and Tribulations. It's made very clear by the end that he's in extremely frail health and had his face slashed with a knife, meaning that, even without the risk of a death penalty, it's unclear if he survived for much longer past the events of the game. The fact he's never so much as mentioned after Tribulations and that he's shown in a drawing along with the very much dead Mia and Misty Fey at the end doesn't bode particularly well, however. |

The End of the World: In The Golden Mean, after meeting the crowds of District 12 survivors, Haymitch comments that he doesn't see any of the families of his past tributes except for the Everdeens and River Bloodwood's sister, indicating that most to all of them died in the bombing of District 12. However, he could have easily missed several faces in a crowd of nine hundred people (some in injured or disheveled states), and it's mentioned that Haymitch avoids at least some of the families of kids he can't save (many of whom have kids who might look different all grown up), so his not spotting the relatives of any other tributes doesn't mean that none survived. Further supporting this is how a recently deceased tribute is named Plonia Fisher, and one of the rare merchant survivors of the District survived because she was making a delivery to a family named Fisher which lives away from where the bombs hit. Many of Peeta and Delly's friends are confirmed dead when Delly says that none of the other merchant kids her and Peeta's age survived the District 12 bombing and few of the merchant survivors of other ages really know Peeta. However, that does leave the fates of a few Bit Characters slightly ambiguous due to them either being a few years older or younger than Delly and Peeta and not super close with Peeta (such as Elly Breen and Suza Pike), not explicitly being stated to be merchant kids despite that class status being implied (like Jemina Kingery), or both (like Dianner Teets). |

The Good Hunter: The entry about Sierra Underwood by the Wandering Scholar indicates that at some point after Chapter 21, Wilmarina and her band (including her husband Elt, Ursula, etc.) attacked Sasha's orphanage in order to use Sierra, who was residing at said orphanage, as a means to gain leverage over the Moon Scented Hunter, their target. This action prompted him to undergo a Roaring Rampage of Rescue that might as well be a massacre. It is neither shown nor proven whether the entire band was wiped out, but according to the Wandering Scholar, Wilmarina "would never be the same woman ever again, not after what the Hunter had done to her, her husband and her friends". Clearly, their fates are anything but good. | |

Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry: After Mallory "Soccer Mom" McDoogle narrowly escapes from her car before it sinks into quicksand, she decides to try and hike her way out of the Amazon rainforest. The last shot she's in is of her walking into the distance as creepy insects ominously cloud the camera, suggesting but not confirming that she died before she could make it. Not long after reaching the edge of the southern ice cap off the coast of Antarctica, Gorthan gets his tongue stuck to a flagpole. Then the chunk of ice he and the flagpole are on breaks off from the main sheet and drifts away into the ocean. He never appears again, nor is his fate ever mentioned. |

Transformers: Transformers: Armada: In the comic series, the Destruction Mini-con team, who've been a thorn in Megatron's side, are absent when all the mini-cons are gathered together. When asked, Megatron says that they're "better off without them." The author, Simon Furman, mentions that Megatron strapped them to a rocket and shot them into the sun, which was an empty threat he made to Cyclonus earlier in the cartoon, leaving their fates ambiguous. Transformers/G.I. Joe: Flint ends up captured and tortured into revealing intel to Cobra by Zartan, who then impersonates Flint before Scarlett recognizes him as an imposter and kills him. The fate of the real Flint remains unclear, even when the cancelled continuation Divided Front establishes a successor. The Transformers: Unicron: A lot of supporting characters from Robots in Disguise and Till All Are One (Rattrap, the Combaticons, Airachnid) are unaccounted for when Cybertron gets destroyed. Given they aren't seen on Earth, they're probably dead. |

In The King and I, this is the fate of Tuptim. After learning that her lover Lun Tha is dead, she exits declaring "Then I shall join him soon," presumably meaning either that she intends to kill herself or expects to die of grief. In the following scenes that take place several months later, she's neither seen nor mentioned, so we never know if she died or not. | |
