Role added by user_53973 on September 3, 2022
Any situation where the bad guy has been dealt a mortal blow which they could not possibly have survived, and it looks as though The Hero has won — but a couple of scenes later comes the twist: they're Not Quite Dead. On the contrary, they're back, ready for more, and madder than hell. Maybe they were rescued from certain death by their right-hand man. Maybe they were spared by a healing spell — or in more drastic cases, upgraded to One-Winged Angel status by way of Emergency Transformation, or a case of We Can Rebuild Him. Maybe they're just that hard to kill. Either way, the fight isn't over yet.
