# DownerEnding.VideoGames: ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'': You fight through the moon bases that the forces of Hell invaded, then fight through Hell itself, only to find that the demons have invaded Earth when you return. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Plus, they killed your pet rabbit, Daisy.]] ''VideoGame/DoomII'' gives a BelatedHappyEnding as Doomguy rescues what's left of humanity, sends the demons back to Hell, and then ''destroys Hell itself'' to make sure they never come back.

# DiabolusExMachina.AnimeAndManga: The ending of ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFINAL'' is all lined up for the happy ending we were all expecting from the generally upbeat tone of the series, then [[spoiler:traps everyone except Mamoru and Kaido in another universe, presumably forever]]. Though in the ongoing sequel novel ''[=GaoGaiGar=] vs. Anime/{{Betterman}}'', they turn out to be fine. Only time will tell if this becomes a case of BelatedHappyEnding. '''Also a violation of Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent.'''

BelatedHappyEnding is, according to the description, supposed to be when a sequel resolves an AmbiguousEnding in a happy manner. However, many wicks tend to use it for sequels that follow up on ''unambiguous'' {{Downer Ending}}s or bitter-leaning {{Bittersweet Ending}}s. Since I feel such a definition is notable (as it is an inversion of HappyEndingOverride), the trope should be redefined to allow the misuse.
