'''Basic Trope''': A work makes you think that you've reached the end, but something suddenly [[TheReveal reveals]] that the plot isn't over.
* '''Straight''': In ''Bob the Savior'', [[TheHero Bob]] has defeated [[BigBad King Evulz]] in a climactic battle. The party gathers and is about to celebrate... but then [[GreaterScopeVillain Emperor Bill Ain]] appears and announces that the war is far from over now that he's in command. Bob and the gang still have a ways to go until the world can really find peace.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob kills King Evulz extremely early in a CurbStompBattle. Then it turns out that man was a fake, so Evulz is still alive, and Bob has to start over again.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob appears to have killed Evulz, and just when he and his party leave to celebrate, Evulz stands up again and offers a final confrontation that only takes one fatal blow from Bob to finish. Now the work has ended.
* '''Justified''': Emperor Bill Ain [[BatmanGambit was counting on Bob to kill Evulz]], so he was ready to give TheReveal when the time came.
* '''Inverted''': ''Bob the Savior'' suddenly ends in an anticlimactic way.

* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ''Bob the Savior'' keeps confusing the audience with the opponents getting up after they were taken for dead and then falling back on the floor, and standing up, and falling over... And this happens in just about any ordinary battle.
* '''Averted''': ''Bob the Savior'' ends when Bob finishes Evulz in the climactic battle. No surprises here.
* '''Enforced''': The higher ups want to introduce a twist in ''Bob the Savior'' so the audience thinks it's all over when in reality things just have started.

* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Bob pulls some strings so his trusty companions go investigate Evulz's boss, Bill Ain. They get rid of him before Bob kills King Evulz to ensure the war ends for real.
* '''Discussed''': "You know, sometimes the villain pulls a fast one by making you think you've defeated him, only for his army to take on his quest and continue the war".
* '''Conversed''': "Holy shit! Did you look at that?! The show is not over! Those darn writers...".
