'''Basic Trope''': Someone uses their last bit of strength to attempt to kill others.
* '''Straight''': When Bob has Joe dying at his feet, Joe presses a self-destruct button to destroy the base and kill Bob.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** At the very start of the battle, Joe presses a button to have an several nukes be fired at the base to completely ensure Bob's death.
** SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum motivated by {{Revenge}}.
* '''Downplayed''': Joe uses his last bit of strength to wound Bob, perhaps mortally, perhaps survivably.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob is on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, and if he isn't stopped, a lot more will be destroyed than Joe's base.
** Joe knows that Bob is more powerful[=/=]influential than Joe, so his boss benefits more from Bob's death and [[BatmanGambit the base was just a decoy to lure Bob into Joe's trap.]]
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob was on a suicidal mission, and presses the button himself.
** YouAreWorthHell: I'm going with you.
** Killing Joe somehow [[LifeDrain restores Bob to full health!]]
* '''Subverted''': Joe promises not to press the button...
* '''Double Subverted''': ...but when Bob has his back turned, Joe presses the button anyway.
* '''Parodied''': Joe nobly presses the button. It's not working.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Joe is about to push the button when Bob presents a thoughtful PatrickStewartSpeech on the meaninglessness of such a gesture, a noble person who cared about his fellow man would never use his last bit of life to spread more destruction. Does Joe really want his legacy to be that of a monster who destroyed that which he could not beat? If Joe believes himself to be such a monster, then, well, Bob admits he [[HeroicSacrifice sealed his own fate]] just by defeating him, so, with finger over the button, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark what kind of person are you]], Joe?
* '''Averted''':
** Joe dies without doing anything.
** No one dies.
** Joe doesn't die. Bob on the other hand...
* '''Enforced''': "Bob and Joe are lowering our show's ratings. Let's have them fight, and both be destroyed by Joe in the end!"
* '''Lampshaded''': "Just watch. Just when we think he's dead, Joe is going to try to take us out in an explosion."
* '''Invoked''': "You think you may have won Bob... but like all good villains, I'm TakingYouWithMe!"
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "Don't worry, Joe can't do anything. There's no way he can reach the button before he dies."
* '''Discussed''': "Haven't you noticed how whenever the villain is dying, he attempts to kill the hero in a blaze of glory?"
* '''Conversed''': "Did you see that explosion from Joe's base? He must have been trying to take Bob with him!"
* '''Deconstructed''': Joe killing himself would have destroyed Bob, but it'd have opened the way for a bigger danger to appear which wouldn't be able to be stopped because Joe was dead.
* '''Reconstructed''': Joe manages to kill himself and destroy Bob in a way that makes any latent danger unable to appear.
