You Haven't Seen the Last of X

A Stock Phrase used by evildoers during a Villain Exit Stage Left. In a common variation, one of the heroes will say "I/We haven't seen the last of X" after the villain escapes. (Of course, any personal pronoun can be substituted for "you".)

Similar to We Will Meet Again.

Examples:

In the SWAT Kats episode "The Origin of Dr. Viper", Dr. Viper appropriately says, "You haven't seen the last of Dr. Viper!" as he flees into a sewer.
In Thunderbirds, the Hood is frequently heard to utter a variation on "International Rescue haven't seen the last of me!" after his latest plan ends in an explosion.
From Dragon Ball:
Yamcha: Those fools have not seen the last of Yamcha!
Narrator: It would seem our heroes haven't seen the last of Yamcha...
Robin Hood: Men in Tights: After saving Dave Chapelle's character from the Sheriff's thugs, Robin Hood hears one of them yell, "You haven't seen the last of us!" Robin promptly fires six arrows at once in an arrow outline, causing the thug to concede, "You've seen the last of us."
Courage the Cowardly Dog: "You have not seen the last... of LeQuack!"
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita says Zedd hasn't seen the last of her when he banishes her into space. And indeed he hasn't, as towards the end of the season she returns and forces him to marry her via a Love Potion. In Power Rangers Zeo, as Rita, Zedd, and their goons flee the moon Zedd vows that the Machine Empire hasn't seen the last of them, that they'll return and have revenge. Which they do.
Ben 10 seems to have a liking into mocking this catchphrase:
- In the original series episode "Dr Animo and the Mutant Ray", Animo scream this while being taken away by the police:
  Gwen: I feel like I'm watching a rerun...
  Animo: YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
  Gwen: Yeah, I wish...
- Ben 10 Ultimate Alien episode "Simian Says" do it again with minor villain Mizaru:
  Mizaru: BEN TENNYSON! You have made a terrible enemy today! Remember this: you haven't seen the last of Mizaru! (a giant worm suddenly eats him)
  Gwen: And now we have seen the last of Mizaru... I think.
- Ben 10 Omniverse has Dr Animo parodying it twice, both in flashback and at the end of the episode, as well as several other stock catchphrases.
"Agh! The chains! Nooooo! You haven't seen the last of me!"
Star Trek: Voyager. Lampshaded in the holodeck program "The Adventures of Captain Proton" where the Emperor Scientist villain warns the heroes as he's dying, "Death as you know it has no hold on me. You have not heard the last of Chaotica."
In the Elementary episode "While You Were Sleeping", Sherlock Holmes warns a suspect that "You haven't seen the last of me!" as part of a Batman Gambit.
General Malaise, a minor villain in Ozzy and Drix, used this. In his second appearance, he split into several copies of himself, all of whom said it.
