** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOftime'', Ganondorf's overwhelming darkness forces away even Navi, forcing Link to fight him truly alone. Against Ganon, he walls off Zelda from Link with fire to keep her from interfering. It doesn't last.

* {{Exaggerated}} and {{justified}} in ''Film/{{Alien}}'' once [[TokenMinority Parker]] and [[HystericalWoman Lambert]] die. Not only is [[EverybodysDeadDave everybody dead]] [[SoleSurvivor (except Ripley)]] once the aforementioned deaths happen, Ripley herself is also ''completely alone with the Xenomorph'' until she [[ThrownOutTheAirlock vents the Xenomorph out the airlock]] during the film's PostClimaxConfrontation, at which point the film itself ends.

* A series-tradition for Ganondorf boss fights in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda''.

* ''Anime/{{Slayers}} NEXT'' ends with Lina's friends knocked out one by one, after each plan fails. Plus, she has to use her [[FinishingMove Giga Slave]] to defeat the baddie.

* Villainous example. In the ''Film/{{Daredevil}}'' movie, Kingpin sends his guards home so he can face Daredevil alone.

* Yuusuke/Red Falcon from ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'' is the only human left unaffected by [[BigBad Bias']] MassHypnosis, leaving him to defeat Bias alone, in a sense. Though someone comes to give him last-minute help: [[spoiler: Kemp, reduced to a Brain in A Jar, who strips Bias of his youth.]]

** Season One: The Scoobies end up retreating to the Library while fighting the [[ZergRush horde of vampires]] converging on the high school, or rather [[spoiler: The Hellmouth, which happens to be located directly beneath the library.]] Buffy fights the Master on the roof.
** Season Two: The Scoobies are attacked at the library, leaving [[spoiler: Kendra dead, Willow in a coma, and Giles captured.]] After mounting a rescue mission, Xander takes [[spoiler: Giles]] to safety while Buffy is left to fight Angelus alone.
** Season Six: In the end, it's [[spoiler: Xander]] who saves the day, [[spoiler: talking [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Willow]] down from destroying the world after Buffy fails to stop her.]]

* Seems to be a reoccurring theme with ''Series/PersonOfInterest'', where many of the characters seem to believe this. However, it also seems to show these characters time and time again that there is always someone to help. A variant of the phrase, 'Everyone Dies Alone', also serves as the [[ArcWords Arc Words]] for the [[GrandFinale series finale]].
* The endgame of ''Series/DoctorWho'' Series 9 is all about this for the Doctor after he is captured by his enemies and separated from his companion Clara in "Face the Raven". The revival has long established that the Doctor risks becoming a case of BewareTheSuperman if he doesn't have travelling companions; Clara admits that he isn't good at being alone, but orders him not to give up his principles before [[spoiler: she is Killed Off For Real]]. Unfortunately, he spends the entirety of "Heaven Sent" being tormented by unseen enemies, with no one in his giant torture chamber but a deadly monster. This fans the flames of anguish and rage, he fights his way out of the chamber, and in the finale "Hell Bent" he becomes TheUnfettered WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds -- obsessed with a TragicDream of [[spoiler: bringing Clara back from the grave]] and almost destroying the universe in the process of trying to achieve it. When [[spoiler: a now-Only Mostly Dead Clara]] causes him to have a HeelRealization, he ends up losing [[spoiler: not only her but his most important emotional memories of her]] but accepts these losses as a way of atoning for his selfishness. He thus ends Series 9 alone, a sadder and wiser man for his experiences.

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': the first season finale. One by one, everyone ''dies,'' leaving the main character the only one left to have the final battle, which she resolves by using a MacGuffin whose powers are CastFromHitPoints, dying herself. However, she manages to use said MacGuffin to revive herself and her friends. However, it happens ''again'' in ''Stars'' where, one by one, everyone dies and in the end, it's just Sailor Moon... Until she revives everyone again.
* ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''. By the end of the series, only the lead and lancer could fight the BigBad since their ultimate {{Super Mode}}s required all the other members of the band to give them their spirits (ability to transform). Though this may have later become a subversion considering that the actual final battle was Big Bad v. [[spoiler: all five of the (surviving) heroes combined into a single god-like digital entity.]]

* Somewhat justified in ''Manga/PsychicSquad''... while Za Children generally work as a team, Kaoru is always their heavy hitter, possessing the most in-your-face offensive power - Telekinesis. When fighting Mooks or generally low-level foes, the other two will join in with creative use of their 'utility' powers ({{Teleportation}} and {{Psychometry}}, respectively). But when the big hitters show up and it's time for a boss-fight, they know that it's better to stand back and let Kaoru do what she does best - sometimes providing intel or a quick escape to aid. In the later season, it's taken to its natural conclusion, with a special device that basically saps Aoi and Shiho of their PsychicPowers to pool it all in Kaoru, giving her access to her badass, PowerGivesYouWings [[RedBaron Queen Of Catastrophe]] form, which makes her basically unstoppable, and able to do several things that are otherwise considered theoretically impossible...

* In ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'', the ''FFVII'' crew decide to let Cloud battle Kadaj on his own.
** Not that any of them had much choice, with Cloud chasing Kadaj across half the continent trying to stop him from using the Jenova cells no one else really had any hope of keeping up. And of course, by the time anyone else might have been able to finally track them down, Kadaj had ''already'' used the Jenova cells and taken on the Memory of Sephiroth. Anyone in their right mind takes one look at that brawl and promptly says '''fuuuuuck''' that.
*** Not entirely so, as they were able to catch up to Cloud using their air ship, and Yuffie even brought Materia along to power Cloud and themselves up. It's just that the one on one fight mirrors the end of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' as a personal struggle so they didn't want to interfere. It was also mentioned that, while the others had given up fighting and thus their drive during the two years of peace, Cloud still held onto that mind state to give it everything he's got.

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', the battle against [[spoiler:Father]] starts off as a major affair, with everyone getting in their shots. But after [[spoiler:Father disables many of the fighters and Al sacrifices himself, it comes down to Ed pounding on a PhysicalGod with his bare fists while everyone else cheers him on]]. Notably, however, this isn't because the rest of the cast is unable to help, considering there are still numerous armed soldiers and physically capable fighters around. It's just that ''Ed [[UnstoppableRage doesn't]] [[CurbStompBattle need]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the help]].''
** It should also be noted that [[spoiler: all the damage the rest of the cast did to Father HAD been effective, even though it looked like it wasn't due to his enormous supply of power. Ed just finished the job.]]

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has this for its third part. At the end, Jotaro is the only one left to face Dio, as everyone else was either killed or incapacitated.
** It also happens again in Part Six but in a twist [[spoiler:it's not the protagonist who faces the BigBad, but rather one of her sidekicks]].

* Both ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' allow you to have your party fighting alongside yourself for most of the game, then render them unable to join yours for the final boss. The second game is particularly cruel since it abruptly drops you on [[DeathWorld Malachor V]]. Your character wakes up and has to spend the entire level on their own, even though it is made perfectly clear that the rest of your crew survived and got out. At least in the first game you could have two party members with you for most of the Star Forge until your fight with [[spoiler: Bastilla]]. This might be due to early plans for the game, in which a few scenes on Malachor V focused on the other characters, depending on the choices made by the player over the course of the game, such as a fight between Atton and Darth Sion which could end either with him surviving and reuniting with the Exile, or losing and dying in her arms, or if the player was a dark side female and fell in love with the Disciple [[spoiler: Atton was supposed to kill him]].
* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Twice in ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'':
** The protagonist breaks into Mortelli's office because he realizes that Mortelli has been withholding certain information from him, and wants to find out what exactly his longtime friend knows.
** All the other girls (minus Veronica) come along for [[spoiler:the first attempt to "rescue" Amanda from Cecilia. However, the protagonist later hatches a workable, if foolhardy, plan, and carries it out by himself.]]
* Phoenix Wright in the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series usually gets help whenever he's a bind during a trial. Most of hte time, he gets help from his perky sidekick Maya. At other times, Maya channels the spirit of his dead sister Mia whenever Maya doesn't know what to do. In the climax of the final case in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'', Maya is unable to assist Phoenix due to her [[spoiler: being forced testify for a murder that Phoenix's client is accused of]], leaving Phoenix to do the heavy lifting of the case by himself without any outside help.

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* Klaus Wulfenbach from ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' was just the trusty lackey to the Heterodyne Boys when he was younger. When he came back from his offworld expedition, [[CrapsackWorld everything had gone completely to hell]] and the Boys were nowhere to be found. Klaus put the world back together alone. [[TheExtremistWasRight It worked.]]
* In ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'', [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter002/ib012.html Dara can get the gate open, but Roan has to get out on his own power.]]
[[/folder]]

* ''VideoGame/WildArms3'' has the demon Siegfried removing all of Maya Schrodinger's magic-powered personas (that she gains by reading books) by forcing her to read a book called "The True Self". Her "true self" is a {{nerd}} girl happens to know how his technology works and shuts it down.

* Both ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' allow you to have your party fighting alongside yourself for most of the game, then render them unable to join yours for the final boss. The second game is particularly cruel since it abruptly drops you on Malachor V. Your character wakes up and has to spend the entire level on their own, even though it is made perfectly clear that the rest of your crew survived and got out. At least in the first game you could have two party members with you for most of the Star Forge until your fight with [[spoiler: Bastilla]]. This might be due to early plans for the game, in which a few scenes on Malachor V focused on the other characters, depending on the choices made by the player over the course of the game, such as a fight between Atton and Darth Sion which could end either with him surviving and reuniting with the Exile, or losing and dying in her arms, or if the player was a dark side female and fell in love with the Disciple [[spoiler: Atton was supposed to kill him]].

** Subverted in ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'' for the final boss. [[spoiler: You show up, he kills your entire team while giving them a short epitaph, and then fight him solo]] until you use the PowerOfFriendship to return your friends to you.
* In ''VideoGame/StarFox'', Fox has to fight Andross alone during the final battle. In the secret Out of This Dimension path, Fox pretty much shoots down paper aiplanes, destroys a Slot Machine, and corrects THE END for all eternity alone, then do it over again.
** However, in ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' Fox ''chooses'' to fight Andross alone, there was no real need for him to do so.
* The final battle of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' is the main character against [[spoiler:Nyx]]. Nobody can come with him because nobody else is able to remain standing under the might of the final boss. In a moderate subversion, however, his weapon against the final opponent is the hopes of everyone he met on the way to the confrontation.
** It gets repeated in ''VideoGame/Persona4'', except [[spoiler:Izanami-no-Okami]] personally picks off your party members one by one until only the protagonist is left.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', Isshun cannot enter the [[spoiler:Ark of Yamato]], leaving Amaterasu to fight [[spoiler:Yami]] alone. [[spoiler: Subverted when Waka shows up during the final battle.]] [[spoiler:Double subverted since Yami immediately kills him]].

** At the end of the Kung-Fu chapter, [[spoiler:two of the Master's students are dead and the Master himself is mortally wounded]], leaving the player to finish off Odi Wang Lee in a duel.
** It's far, ''far'' worse in the Medieval chapter. By the time Oersted drags his sorry ass to the final boss, [[spoiler:Hash is dead from a plague, Uranus has sacrificed himself to help Oersted escape from prison, Straybow is a traitor and the aforementioned final boss, the king of Lucretia is dead by Oersted's own unwitting hand, Alicia has completely lost faith in him and is in love with Straybow, and the villagers he fought so hard to protect have all cast him out and labelled him a demon]].

* Massively subverted in the finale of ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' - [[spoiler: though [[BigBad Naraku]] does his best to split up the group and kill each one individually, they all manage to reunite and take him down.]]

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': [[spoiler:Three timelines worth of discovering the AwfulTruth and playing TheCassandra - always ending in the death of all of her friends -]] leads Homura to utter the line "I won't depend on ''anyone'' anymore" during her AdrenalineMakeover, invoking this trope and [[TheUnfettered signalling a drastic change in her personality]]. True to form, [[spoiler:she spends the very next episode fighting the BigBad alone... and ''losing'', [[SubvertedTrope leading to Madoka contracting once again]]]].

* In ''ComicBook/TheBooksOfMagic'' series, at one point Tim is caught in a pattern based off old fairytales and is reminded that common element of many folk stories and fairytales is that while the hero gains companions and tools that help him reach the BigBad, in the end, it comes down to just his own courage after companions and tools are stripped away - WhatYouAreInTheDark is what must win the day.
* At the end of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004'', the Man of Steel is the only who can fight Darkseid after the tyrant has defeated all Superman's allies and friends.
* Discussed and deconstructed in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'': When a young boy called [[MeaningfulName Bernie]] asks an old man [[OneSteveLimit also called Bernie]] for help, he denies it claiming that young Bernie needs to learn that "in a final analysis, we are all alone". Then Old Bernie sees a newspaper and it's eager to help young Bernie. The newspaper said that the Russians have invaded Afghanistan and that means WorldWarIII. After young Bernie leaves, Old Bernie [[IronicEcho monologues that]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship "we are here to help each other…]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt in a final analysis"]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'' handles this is a different way for the [[FinalBoss end]] DuelBoss battle, in that the Masked Man uses a lightning attack that will always knock out anyone on your team still standing beside Lucas, who's carrying a DeflectorShield. Most notably, he will execute such an attack immediately as soon as Lucas attempts to bring them back to consciousness, and they won't even get the usual grace period until their HP counter reaches zero, ensuring they never get to act.

* Can happen in any ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'' game or any other fighting game with a TagTeam mechanic if the player is knocked down to their final team member against the FinalBoss. As for a canon instance, the end of '''94'' according to SNK had [[spoiler:both Benimaru and Daimon fall during the FinalBattle, leaving Kyo to fight Rugal alone]].

* In ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'', the FFVII crew decide to let Cloud battle Kadaj on his own.
** Not that any of them had much choice, with Cloud chasing Kadaj across half the continent trying to stop him from using the Jenova cells no one else really had any hope of keeping up. And of course by the time anyone else might have been able to finally track them down, Kadaj had ''already'' used the Jenova cells and taken on the Memory of Sephiroth.

It's just that the one on one fight mirrors the end of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' as a personal struggle so they didn't want to interfere. It was also mentioned while the others had given up fighting and thus their drive during the two years of peace, Cloud still held onto that mind state to give it everything he's got.

* In ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' Neku attempts to invoke this by leaving Shiki and Beat behind unconscious and confronting the final boss but it becomes {{subverted}} when they catch up with him and tell him off for running off on his own just before the fight starts.
** Double subverted: [[spoiler: The final form can only be fought with Neku, although he gains power from his partners, whom the final boss has trapped in orbs.]]

* At the end of ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' when you get to the Emperor's Fou-Lu Throne room he simply knocks off every party member leaving only Ryu to face him in a DuelBoss. [[spoiler:They ultimately recover, eventually, for the real FinalBoss, [[TheDragon the literal dragon Tyrant]] and, obviously, Fou-Lu himself as Astral.]]

* Averted big time in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'' where TheHero gives each party member a chance to leave the party while they can before the "final" confrontation with the BigBad. Not even the biggest [[ManipulativeBastard bastard]] [[SociopathicHero from]] [[TheVamp hell]] leaves his (or her) side. [[spoiler:To such extent that they even follow you to [[ToHellAndBack Hell]] for the [[FinalBossNewDimension actual final battle]] ''after'' [[DisneyDeath you]] [[DeathIsCheap die]].]]
* Invoked in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood''. [[spoiler: Ezio decides to go after Cesare alone, saying that he built the Brotherhood to last without him. Accordingly, you cannot call on the Recruits' assistance in Sequence Nine.]]

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' gives us a villainous example in the form of [[BigBadWannabe Jasley Domonikols]] who wanted to destroy Tekkadan [[TheStarscream and take control over Teiwaz from McMurdo]], after [[FrameUp letting slip to Gjallarhorn that Naze and the Turbines had supplied Tekkadan]] with a [[MagneticWeapons Dáinsleif]] for Gundam Flauros[[note]]in the Post-Disaster Timeline, Dáinsleifs are outlawed as illegal weapons due to their destructive potential. However therein exists a gray area for Magnetic weaponry in that they are only classified as illegal if the Dáinsleif rods are equipped with nonconventional warheads: which is what the Flauros '''is''' kitted out with. Along with Jasley intentionally leaving out A.) Tekkadan [[GodzillaThreshold was pushed to into using the Dáinsleif]] ''because'' of a mistake caused by a Gjallarhorn Seven Star [[SealedEvilInACan accidentally awakening]] [[RobotWar a Mobile Armor]] on Mars that threatened [[KillAllHumans to wipe out all Human Life on the planet when it reactivated]], and B.) Gundam Flauros' Dáinsleif launchers were not supplied by The Turbines and actually were already attached to Gundam Flauros when it was first unearthed.[[/note]] and having Iok Kujan kill Naze while also goading Tekkadan into attacking him after killing Lafter and taunting them about it, expecting for Iok to swoop in and crush them with the Arianrhod Fleet. It was only when [[LetsGetDangerous Tekkadan cut all ties with Teiwaz]] and went on their RoaringRampageOfRevenge to kill Jasley and his faction [[UnderestimatingBadassery did the mobster learn exactly]] ''[[UnderestimatingBadassery how]]'' [[UnderestimatingBadassery outclassed he really was compared to Tekkadan.]] When begging for McMurdo to call Tekkadan and have them end this did Jasley learn that not only is Tekkadan no longer a part of Teiwaz, but that McMurdo already made a deal with Gjallarhorn to overlook the Turbine incident and that Rustal Elion had placed Iok under house arrest, effectively leaving Jasley high-and-dry.

* After fighting the final boss in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' for several stages, Cloud engages in a final one-on-one clash of wills with Sephiroth. He destroys him with a single strike.

** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' kinda has this with the ''Arrival'', its final {{DLC}} mission, which has to be completed by Shepard alone (except a few EscortMission-esque levels with a GuestStarPartyMember). Though, of course, true to its WideOpenSandBox gameplay, you can complete the assignment at any time, even before the SuicideMission (which kinda misses its entire point). The ''Overlord'' DLC plays this perfectly straight by unexpectedly trapping both your squadmates just before the FinalBoss, so Shepard has to take on him/it alone.

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' basically slowly killed the cast (again) throughout the approach to each BigBad (Frieza, Cell and Buu). By the time Goku fought Frieza and ([[spoiler:almost]]) killed him, they were the only two people on Namek, the rest being dead or on Earth. A larger cast lived until Gohan beat Cell, but they were just on the sidelines by then. For Buu, literally everyone that wasn't a Kai, Goku, Fat Buu, or Mr. Satan (or the puppy) was dead. Including one of the combatants (Vegeta). ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' didn't kill the cast as much, but the Big Bads were so powerful by then that nobody that wasn't Goku or [=SS4=] Gogeta was pretty much helpless (besides for Trunks during the Black Star Dragon Balls part and Pan every once in a while).
* ''Anime/SailorMoon''; the first season finale. One by one, everyone ''dies,'' leaving the main character the only one left to have the final battle, which she resolves by using a MacGuffin whose powers are CastFromHitPoints, dying herself. However, she manages to use said MacGuffin to revive herself and her friends. However, it happens ''again'' in Stars ([[BookEnds the final season]]) where, one by one, everyone dies and in the end, it's just Sailor Moon... Until she revives everyone again.

* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' sometimes used this trope, sometimes not. Frequently Seiya would be the last Saint standing against the season's BigBad, and (if any of the others were conscious/alive) they'd boost his Cosmo with theirs. A few times though they would gang up on enemies, but by and large one-on-one battles were the norm.
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'', however, the team often gets their day in the limelight, but they get hurt so often it's a wonder that Yugi lets them come along at all. Given that Duel Monsters is for the vast majority of the time a one on one card game, this is true pretty much every episode.

* Discussed and deconstructed in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'': When a young boy called [[MeaningfulName Bernie]] asks an old man [[OneSteveLimit also called Bernie]] for help, he denies it claiming that young Bernie needs to learn that "in a final analysis, we are all alone". Then Old Bernie sees a newspaper and it's eager to help young Bernie. [[TheEighties The newspaper said that the Russians have invaded Afghanistan and that means]] WorldWarIII. After young Bernie leaves, Old Bernie [[IronicEcho monologues that]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship "we are here to help each other…]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt in a final analysis"]].

[[folder:Fanfiction]]

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse'', [[ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton just like in the original story]], Superman must fight Darkseid on his own after all of his friends and allies have fallen.

* In ''Film/WonderWoman1984'', Diana renounces her wish of bringing Steve Trevor back from the dead to get her powers back and she goes off to face Cheetah and Maxwell Lord alone.
