* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'': Tenjuro Banno is taken out halfway into the final conflict, and in fact doesn't even end up fighting the title character at all: he's busy trying to defeat the machine that Banno had created to freeze time and digitize all life, which takes significantly longer.
** ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'': Defeating Storious does nothing to stop the apocalypse he triggered, so instead the heroes [[spoiler:fail to stop it and the world ends. Luckily Touma's able to write a sequel to the world that picks up right where the previous one left off.]]

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers'', the player and their partner manage to defeat MadGod Primal Dialga, who is trying to stop them from returning the Time Gears to Temporal Tower and preventing its collapse, which would cause [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the planet's paralysis]], but they never had time to actually put the Time Gears back and have to immediately rush to do it before the tower collapses. [[spoiler: Although the tower seems to collapse just as they do so, it turns out it just barely survives.]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', [[spoiler:Porky Minch]], leader of the Pigmasks, is neutralized towards the end of TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon. However, the one actually executing his plan is little more than a soulless robot with no will beyond fulfilling his master's plan, and thus the Pigmasks can't truly be defeated until he's dealt with.

* PlayedWith in the climax of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Eddie Valiant manages to [[spoiler:destroy Judge Doom with his own Dip and save Roger and Jessica, but Doom's Dip spraying-machine still ends up going off into Toontown...though thankfully, it ends up getting smashed by a passing Toon train. Even still, it probably wouldn't have done a lot of damage anyway as its payload had been mostly depleted when Valiant used it against Doom.]]
