Basic Trope: The villain has a physical breakdown due to overexerting themselves.
- Straight: Emperor Evulz starts to break down in the final battle with Hiro due to overexertion.
- Exaggerated: Evulz is so weakened that he starts to slowly die from exertion.
- Downplayed: Evulz becomes winded after a battle.
- Justified:
- Evulz overestimated his own strength.
- Evulz is VERY out of shape, and doesn't have the Stout Strength or Acrofatic prowess to fight on an even keel with Hiro.
- Evulz's magic is drawn from his life force, and he's running low.
- Evulz had been fighting Hiro as part of a Marathon Boss fight. It's been 8 consecutive hours now.
- Inverted:
- Evulz becomes more powerful due to his battle.
- Hiro is the one suffering the physical breakdown.
- Subverted: Evulz starts to act weaker in battle... but this is a trick to get Hiro to surrender so he can attack him.
- Double Subverted: After trying to attack Hiro, though, he finds that he really is having a physical breakdown and is too weak to attack.
- Parodied: Evulz is only able to throw one easily avoided punch before he keels over and dies of a heart attack. Hiro doesn't need to land one blow.
