I like that idea, Dragon Quest Z. or maybe just "Reunion Party Ending"?
The awkwardness is part of the charm
Ok, no it isn't; my reaction when I saw the TRS flag was "I'll bet it's about length." And rightly so.
Unfortunately all I can think of is "All That Jazz Ending — and yes, I know why that's a very bad title.
The child is father to the man —OedipusI made a single proposition rename crowner here. I apologize for arriving so late to this topic, but I agree that this title is particularly awkward and long. I think that the trope could also benefit from some clear redirects.

Those count too if the media doesn't have any dead or imaginary characters.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickBump. Crowner is currently 13-6.
Bumping for more votes.
The crowner seems to be pretty solidly in favour of renaming.
"The Daily Show has to be right 100% of the time; FOX News only has to be right once." - Jon StewartThe title is spot on, witty, and even pulls off making a reference to a work that doesn't rely on FanMyopia—so why do we want it changed?
Isn't the goal Clear, Concise, and Witty? I hardly think the name breaks any length milestones, either.
Get a slant at this glossary of Pulp Detective terms. It rates. Pipe that?'Cast reunion' is better than 'everybody comes back', and 'fantasy party ending' can be replaced with 'party ending'.
Okay, but "Cast" holds a different connotation than, say, "Character". The first makes me think of the actors, not the roles.
And the fantasy part of the party is sort of key here, because this is also about everyone coming back, even those who really shouldn't be able to.
To be fair, a shorter name would make a fine redirect. If someone could come up with one that actually fits, that is.

No consensus to rename after nearly 5 months. Locking.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.
Sure, the title is clear enough, but it's so awkwardly worded as well as lengthy. Could we perhaps consider an alternate one?
