** The Architect inverts the trope. Neo tells him "If I were you, I would hope we don't meet again", to which he replies "We won't".

--->'''Ganondorf:''' "Curse you, Zelda! Curse you, sages! Curse you, [name]! Someday, when this seal is broken -- that is when I will exterminate your descendants! As long as the Triforce of Power is in my hand..."

* ''VideoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'': After being defeated by V1 in their first duel, Gabriel reacts... [[SoreLoser poorly]].
-->'''Gabriel:''' You insignificant '''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]]!''' ''THIS IS NOT OVER!!!''\\
''(teleports away)''

* Parodied in ''Manga/FoodWars'' following a cooking duel between Soma and Takumi. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUYWGsUzgTU&feature=youtu.be&t=16 Takumi says this, then moments later they're sitting next to each other on the bus.]] Much to Takumi's embarrassment.
-->'''Soma:''' Hey, we meet again.\\

* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', AntiHero and {{Ninja}} Sid goes up against AntiVillain {{Samurai}} Mifune. When the heroes are ordered to retreat, Sid tells Mifune that he has no more reason to fight him, but warns him that if he lets him go Sid might come for him and BackStab him some day. Mifune's only reply is "Sounds fun. Go."

* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has a rare heroic example: At the end of Chapter 59, Yue swears revenge on the dragon under the Library, mainly because he drooled on her.

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':

* ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'': Creator/GrantMorrison's run has Shadowy Mister Evans vow to return after he is defeated. He hasn't been seen since.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** At the end of ''ComicBook/LastDaughterOfKrypton'', Reign forfeits the battle so she can heal her wounded soldier, but she warns ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} the Worldkillers will return to hound her. However, [[ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton although Kara would eventually run into another Worldkiller]], Reign's group haven't been seen again.

* Zira pretty much means this in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2SimbasPride'' when Simba says they’re finished and she says “oh no, Simba, we have barely begun” when he’s out of hearing range.

** In the [[Characters/DoctorWhoImmortalsAndEldritchAbominations Celestial Toymaker]]'s only televised appearance, the First Doctor mentions that the Toymaker is immortal, and that he fully expects to run into him again. Sadly he never did, at least not on screen, anyway.

* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'': Done quite a few times by Dr. Wily to MegaMan, usually along the lines of "You haven't seen the last of me, Mega Man! I'll be back!"

** As the Arrancar are drawn back to Hueco Mundo after the battle-slash-distraction against Hitsugaya's team, they tell their opponents that they will meet (and fight) again. Except Luppi; oh [[AlasPoorVillain poor Luppi]]... [[BackFromTheDead but he gets better.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', Bowser had his own catchphrase as a version of this -- "He who koops and runs away lives to koop another day!" In other words, he left to [[JustForPun reKOOPerate]].

** ''VideoGame/TheTerminator'': After being told in the lobby of the police station that Sarah is busy making statements, T-800 tells the receptionist "I'll be back". One minute later, he's back... by making a grand entrance while driving a vehicle to run over the receptionist and cause his shootout.

* Odd heroic usage in ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines''. Just before the good terminator blows up the Terminatrix with his own power cell, he tells John Connor, "We will meet again." The twist, in this case, is that the Terminator sent back in time is the one that [[spoiler:''succeeds in killing John'']] in the future.
** [[Film/TheTerminator "I'LL BE BACK."]][[note]]Becomes a heroic example in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.[[/note]]

If the villain is in a more poetic mood, they might say their parting words with, "They who fight and run away, live to fight another day." Other variants include: "I'm not finished with you," "This isn't over," "You think you've won!" and "You haven't seen the last of me!" In anime and other Japanese media, the common phrase of the defeated is "Remember me!"[[note]]Watashi o oboetemasuka.[[/note]]

* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': "I'll get you, my pretty...AndYourLittleDogToo"

* In ''VideoGame/{{Darksiders}}'' and [[VideoGame/DarksidersII its sequel]], the demon [[HiddenAgendaVillain Samael]] says this to War and Death after their business is concluded in each game.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': In a rather bizarre inversion, Hanzo tells Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru to "come back to fight me again", after he ''won'' the battle. They're among the few people Hanzo considered to be {{Worthy Opponent}}s, along with the {{Samurai}} Mifune. [[spoiler: Except that he doesn't live to fight the rematch. He does, however, get a rematch with Mifune... after being raised as a zombie.]]
