is exactly that, with the Big Bad rejoicing during the whole song for a full dollop of Mood Dissonance. - Cantata: Kurt Weill's "The Berlin Requiem" is a morbid, secular cantata about faceless war casualties and victims of violent crimes. Appropiate for a piece titled Requiem. The lyrics come from Bertolt Brecht's poems.

- Recap.Star Trek S 3 E 19 Requiem For Methuselah: The episode is called "Requiem for Methuselah", an allusion to the Biblical Methuselah, who was reported to have lived for 969 years (and who, according to Flint, was another of his past identities). ► It doesn't elaborate further on how the work is sad and dark.

Misuse (1/27)
- Characters.Yu Gi Oh Card Game E To F: "Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon" which is named as such in reference to Yuto's grief for his lost comrades in the resistance. It also has stained glass wings in reference to church buildings. ► It's misused with the name of a Yu-Gi-Oh! card instead of the title of a work. Also, it isn't a character trope.

Non-tropes and Potholes (5/27)
- Grand Finale: Ultimate Marvel
- In the initial plans, Ultimatum was going to be the grand finale of the Ultimate Marvel universe, followed by a reboot. The three ongoing series at the time, Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four got their Title: Requiem issues. But then it was decided to continue the story from that point. However, it still counts has a grand finale for the phase 1 of the X-Men.
- Subtitle: Lastly, there are tropes that only look like they'd go here, like Episode Zero: The Beginning, for titles with the number 0 and beginning something, and Title: Requiem, for titles with the word "Requiem" in it, implying that event's going to occur. And to cap off the confusion, thanks to the history of the English language, there's "Closed Captioning"-type "subtitles", and the tropes about that also don't go here. Tropes such as Reality Has No Subtitles, Fun with Subtitles, and Spice Up the Subtitles.
- The Last Title: Compare Title: Requiem.
- Title Tropes: The title ends with "requiem", often implying a Bittersweet Ending or Downer Ending.
