| 4 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' ended with the two-part episode "Bye Bye, Nikki?", in which Nikki has to move to Iqaluit when her father gets a job promotion and the rest of the gang tries everything to convince them to let Nikki stay. In the end, their plans are fruitless, so they throw a big farewell party for Nikki. The emotionality of the goodbyes they share convince Nikki's parents to stay, but Nikki convinces them to instead go on with the move in gratitude for everything they've done for her. In the final scene, the gang make one last farewell phone call to Nikki as she and her family board the plane to Iqaluit with both Nikki and Jonesy deciding to maintain a long-distance relationship rather than breaking up. |
| 5 | * ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan2000'' ended with a two-part episode titled "The Ultimate Doom", where Action Man thwarted Dr. X and his Council of Doom in a final battle where Dr. X attempted to use an asteroid to wipe out humanity and feed off of Action Man's amp factor to become more powerful than ever. |
| 6 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' had "The League Of Villains", where King Goobot assembled nearly all of the villains (aside from the Nanobots, who were destroyed at the end of their final appearance, and Meldar) to try to take down Jimmy for good. In the end, Jimmy sent all of them (or at least the ones that didn’t reform) back to the age of the dinosaurs. While this isn’t the final episode aired, it was the last one in production order. |
| 7 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' ended with the creators fully aware that the show would not be renewed for a second season. They proceed to gather all of the villains from the first season, and showed off a clip show and a series of flashbacks of new scenes and ends with the characters fully aware that their show will most likely be cancelled after it. |
| 8 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' had "King Igthorn", which ended with Igthorn losing his castle and army of ogres, Gummi Glen is destroyed, or at least severely damaged, and the Great Gummis are confirmed to return. |
| 9 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' ended with [[Recap/AdventureTimeS9E13ComeAlongWithMeTheUltimateAdventure "Come Along With Me"]], which is 44 minutes long, [[ExtraLongEpisode the length of four regular episodes]]. The episode has the heroes unite in a battle against Princess Bubblegum's Uncle Gumbald, who is beaten rather easily before our heroes then have to take down the EldritchAbomination GOLB, with the framing device of BMO telling the story of this final adventure eons in the future to Shermy and Beth, the new generation in defending the land of Ooo. However, after the sequel miniseries "Adventure Time: Distant Lands", which takes place after the GrandFinale was announced, the episode itself became a SeriesFauxnale. |
| 10 | ** Despite being the third special out of four, ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeDistantLands'' has "Together Again" serving as the true ending of the series, showing Finn, who have recently arrived at the Dead Worlds as an old man, searching for Jake, who died sometime between "Come Along With Me" and "Obsidian", so that they can reincarnate together, all while trying to stop New Death and his army of undertakers from stopping the cycle of rebirth, culminating in a final battle between Finn and Jake against the returning Lich. |
| 11 | * ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'' ended with the episode titled "The End is Here" in which King Julien and the gang bury Sage for his bachelor party, but things don't go according to plan and they must deal with Franken-Sage! [[BackForTheFinale Almost everyone in the series appears in this episode.]] And in the final scene after Clover and Sage marry, [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} Alex washes up on the island, asking "Where are we?".]] |
| 12 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' final episode "Hong Kong Longs", Jake's father finally finds about Jake and Haley being dragons, Jake meets Rose again, Rose remembers Jake and her former life after Jake changed the timeline so she never became a dragon hunter, and together they defeat the Dark Dragon, the most powerful villain of the series. Although [[WhatCouldHaveBeen there was a plan for a third season]], it's a satisfactory conclusion. |
| 13 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': The finale is considered by Creator/MattBraly to comprise the last three segments of the series. [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E29TheBeginningOfTheEnd "The Beginning of the End"]] has Anne, the Plantars, Sasha, and all their allies they made on Amphibia coming together to fight King Andrias to prevent him from using the music box to invade Earth [[spoiler: only to finally learn of the existence of his master, the Core, and its possession of their friend Marcy. This leads into the hour-long [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E30AllIn "All In"]], where they manage to stop Andrias' invasion with the help of all the allies they made on Earth, and succeed in freeing Marcy. The half-hour [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E31TheHardestThing "The Hardest Thing"]] has one final battle against the Core itself when it tries to [[ColonyDrop drop the moon]] onto Amphibia in a last spiteful attack. In said final battle, Anne performs a HeroicSacrifice and encounters the creator of the gems powering the music box, who revives her and offers her his job as GuardianOfTheMultiverse. Anne refuses and is sent back to Amphibia, and after a tearful farewell, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy leave Amphibia behind for good while the denizens of Amphibia rebuild their world and society, with the DistantFinale wrapping things up and showing [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue where they are now]].]] |
| 14 | * The final episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' originally aired as an hour-length program titled ''The Animaniacs Super Special''. Among the segments included was a seven-minute music video titled "The Animaniacs Suite", featuring an orchestral medley of the show's theme music pieces synced to [[ClipShow various clips from previous episodes]]. However, there were some indications, especially in the credits gag, that the staff didn't expect the show to end there. ''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish'' ultimately served as more of a Grand Finale, as it defies the series' StatusQuoIsGod and actually gives most of the characters' stories ''endings''. |
| 15 | ** The segment included in said "Super Special" was a lengthy one entitled "Star Warners," and despite originally airing as an ''Animaniacs'' episode is treated as the final one for ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', thus making it the Grand Finale to that as well. |
| 16 | ** Twenty-two years later, [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 it got rebooted.]] The reboot had a grand finale of its own, featuring a meteor hitting Earth, and although WordOfGod stated that the Warner Brothers survived, the fate of the rest of the cast are left open-ended. |
| 17 | * Although it only lasted one season, ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' made sure to go out with a bang. In its final episode "The Big Shift", Atomic Puppet officially replaces the "[[ForcedTransformation vanished]]" (and now presumed deceased) Captain Atomic as the protector of Mega City and Mookie is finally arrested by the authorities for his actions. In prison, Mookie teams up with a bunch of other RoguesGallery members and crosses the MoralEventHorizon from {{Jerkass}} wannabe superhero to actual evildoer by helping them all escape prison. In the ensuing chaos, Joey reveals his SecretIdentity (and that AP is the former Captain Atomic) to his dad and [[spoiler:seemingly]] defeats his two biggest enemies, Mookie and Professor Tite-Gripp, for good. [[spoiler:However, they still have a SequelHook for the second season, which ultimately never came to be]]. |
| 18 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' had possibly the grandest of grand finales: a four episode/two hour movie special that had been built up to for three seasons. With the exception of the [[spoiler:ultimate fate of Zuko's mother]] (which is a major focus of ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch The Search]]''), most plot threads were tied up neatly, and it finally put a definitive end to the [[ShipToShipCombat Shipping Wars]] for the primary pairings (or at least what's canon) with TheBigDamnKiss as the final shot of the series. |
| 19 | ** The SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' had a one hour special that pits Korra and her allies against a GiantMecha wielding a FantasticNuke that wraps up all the major plot points of the series, gives lots of characters closure, and [[spoiler: sees the beginning of the first overtly same-sex couple]] in the history of children's animated programming. |
| 20 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' officially ends with "Avengers Assemble", which pits the Avengers, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, some SHIELD agents, the Heroes For Hire, and some of Red Skull's former minions against the planet-devouring Galactus and his Heralds. |
| 21 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' ends with the full Justice League coming together to save the world from the same alien threat that attacked the Earth when the League first began to form back in the previous season finale, and Batman's most dangerous and intelligent enemy, Dr. Hugo Strange, becoming [[HoistByHisOwnPetard completely lobotomized from absorbing all knowledge of the universe]]. |
| 22 | * ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s last episode said "if we're going down, [[NoFourthWall we're taking the fourth wall with us]]". The plot was actually driven by the fact that it was the last episode. Bat-Mite, bored with the show after [[SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon 65 episodes]], decides to make the show [[JumpingTheShark jump the shark]] in hopes of chasing off viewers and getting it canceled, to make way for a new, DarkerAndEdgier take on the Dark Knight. Ambush Bug fights valiantly to keep the show from losing viewers, and ultimately fails -- but then explains to Bat-Mite that the DarkerAndEdgier show Bat-Mite wants has no place for a silly character like Bat-Mite, and thus he just wrote himself out of existence. The show ends on a [[EveryoneComesBackFantasyPartyEnding wrap party]] in the Batcave, as [[AnimatedActors every hero and villain]] that appeared on the show mingles and stagehands haul away parts of the "set", while a hopelessly-confused-about-what's-real-and-what's-not Batman promises the viewers that he'll keep fighting for justice, no matter what happens. |
| 23 | * ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' had the episode "Going Down". The episode could be seen as the grand finale, and that have not been redone new episodes and ended with this latter. |
| 24 | ** Before this, it was the episode "Beavis and Butt-Head Are Dead", in which Beavis and Butt-Head are home trying to find something good on TV and the school calls, wondering where they are. Beavis (not knowing that the call was about he and Butt-Head) tells the secretary that they're dead. Mr. Van Driessen mourns over the loss while the students react with apathy (especially Daria, even though she's supposed to be in Lawndale High) and the other staff members of Highland High (Coach Buzzcut and Principal [=McVicker=], especially) celebrate. When news of Beavis and Butt-Head's death make the news, the duo decide to go down to the school and check out the dead body (again, not knowing that they're the allegedly dead students) and shocking everyone, including Principal [=McVicker=], who has a heart attack[[note]]he is seen alive and well in the short-lived revival, meaning that the heart attack wasn't fatal[[/note]] and Beavis and Butt-Head walk off into the sunset with the money raised for the duo's funeral. Regardless of which one is the true finale, [[SeriesFauxnale it doesn't matter anymore with the 2021 reboot.]] |
| 25 | * ''Franchise/{{Ben 10}}'': |
| 26 | ** The [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 original series]] technically has two episodes that fans have considered to be this; ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10SecretOfTheOmnitrix Secret of the Omnitrix]]'' and "Ben 10 vs. Negative 10". The former is a television movie which aired in the middle of the final season that had Ben learning more about the Omnitrix, meeting its creator, [[JerkassRealization realizing how much of a self-centered hero he is]], and finally developing a more amicable relationship with his cousin Gwen. The latter is a two-parter at the end of the season, which sees the Tennysons go up against some of Ben's biggest foes, culminating in a battle on Mt. Rushmore against the Forever Knights' king. "Negative 10" were the final canon episodes to air, while WordOfGod says that "Secret" is chronologically the last adventure that Ben and his family had that summer vacation. Note we said canon: the last episode of the series to actually air was a WhatIf episode entitled "Goodbye and Good Riddance" that has Ben tangling one last time with Vilgax, ending with his father discovering his super hero identity and Gwen becoming his classmate. The heavily BrokenBase nature of the fandom means that there exists a decently-sized group who views this as the proper end to the series, disregarding all that came after. In any case, HappilyEverAfter, right? [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Wrong, we have some more stories to tell.]] |
| 27 | ** ''Alien Force'''s "The Final Battle" resulted in the original Omnitrix being completely destroyed, Ben getting the new Ultimatrix from his EvilTwin, Kevin turning back to normal as a result of the Omnitrix exploding, Ben unlocking upgraded forms of his aliens, Vilgax being defeated one more, and Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Max having a GroupHug. Now we can declare HappilyEverAfter, right? [[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien Again, WRONG.]] |
| 28 | ** ''Ultimate Alien'''s "The Ultimate Enemy" ties up the loose ends with Diagon and the Lucubras resulting in Ben using Ultimate Way Big, Sir George getting killed, the majority of the population being turned into Flamekeeper's Circle soldiers, Vilgax absorbing Diagon's power, Ben defeating Vilgax with George's sword therefore having the Ultimatrix's power combined with Diagon's AND the sword's, turning all the FKC soldiers to normal, Ben getting kissed by Julie on the lips for the first time, Azmuth cutting the Ultimatrix off, and Ben getting what is called the ''real'' Omnitrix. And like with ''Alien Force'', we end with a group hug (this time with Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Julie). Okay, now we can close the book on -- [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse what do you mean I'm WRONG!?]] |
| 29 | ** ''Omniverse'''s "A New Dawn" resulted in Ben and Rook finally defeating Maltruant and Vilgax, trapping the former in a time loop in which he is forced to relive the events of the series repeatedly, Skurd's origins are revealed, and Ben getting to create his own universe. The show ends with Ben going on a road trip with Rook, Gwen and Kevin. Now are we done? Yes, it is the end... of the original continuity. [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 Reboot anyone]]? |
| 30 | ** ''Ben 10 (2016)'' has the same situation as the original series: an intended finale movie (''WesternAnimation/Ben10VersusTheUniverseTheMovie'') and a later special that can also fill the role (''Alien X-Tinction''). In broad strokes, the film is similar to ''Secret''; it has Ben learn more about the Omnitrix, meet its creator, and learn what it means to be a true hero. He already has a good relationship with Gwen in this continuity, so that's not an issue here; instead of following him to space, she gets a subplot with Kevin where it's teased that he may finally make a HeelFaceTurn for good. The latter is an IntraFranchiseCrossover where Ben must team-up with alternate versions of himself from the previous continuity to take down an evil Alien X, learning to better appreciate the contributions of his family in the process. |
| 31 | * ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' |
| 32 | ** The original 1993 series ended with a three-part episode called "Once Upon a Time on Mars", which didn't resolve anything, but served as an OriginsEpisode by having the titular protagonists' latest battle with Lawrence Limburger serve as a framing device for flashbacks explaining how Modo got his robotic arm, why Vinnie has a metallic plate over half of his face, and what the Biker Mice went through before they left Mars and ended up on Earth. |
| 33 | ** The 2006 revival has two episodes that count as a finale. |
| 34 | *** The three-part episode "Once Upon a Time on Earth", which finally had Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo defeat the Catatonians for good, in addition to reclaiming Stoker's Regenerator and besting their old enemy Lawrence Limburger one last time. |
| 35 | *** The final episode "Turf Wars", which had the Biker Mice go back to Mars to face their old enemies the Nomad Rats and finally use Stoker's Regenerator to put an end to their planet's drought. |
| 36 | * ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' finished its run with "Lumpus's Last Stand", which had the plot of Lumpus griping over having to do laundry until discovering that a lot of time can be saved if everyone just painted their clothes on. Things seem to go well, as this development causes a random citizen of Prickly Pines to invent time travel, which enables two men from the future to go back in time to give their praise to Lumpus. Everything goes south as soon as it starts to rain and everyone ends up naked, afterwards Lumpus gets arrested when [[spoiler:he's revealed to NOT be Camp Kidney's scoutmaster, having locked away the real scoutmaster until he came forward and revealed he was a fraud]]. Samson, the ButtMonkey of the series said it best: "I think it just got to the point where things can't possibly get any weirder." |
| 37 | * ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' came to an end with a three-part episode (the individual titles being "The Mandrill Who Knew Too Much", "Ape-pocalypse Now", and Ape-pocalypse...A Little Later"), which had Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys put a permanent end to Lord Nebula's plan to destroy the universe and remake it as he saw fit. |
| 38 | * ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'' has the Season 4 finale "The Dark Red Caper". Shadow-san and Crackle work with ACME to rescue Carmen (who has been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] into a perfect V.I.L.E. operative); after her mind's restored, Carmen leads ACME to V.I.L.E. headquarters, leading to the arrest of [[BigBadDuumvirate the Faculty]] and dissolution of the organization. Afterwards, Shadow-san reunites with his brother, while Carmen goes to finally meet her mother. Then there's a two-year TimeSkip, showing that Zack and Ivy have joined ACME and are helping to [[AndTheAdventureContinues hunt down the remaining V.I.L.E. operatives with occasional help from Carmen.]] |
| 39 | * ''WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017'' ends with the climax of Season 4, where Trevor and Sypha reunite with Alucard to prevent an attempt at resurrecting Dracula, leading to a FinalBattle with [[spoiler: Death]], the GreaterScopeVillain of the series. |
| 40 | * ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' has an oft-forgotten made-for-TV movie titled "The Great Parent Mystery" as the Grand Finale. In spite of this, it still had a few episodes air after it, including a brief revival in 2004. |
| 41 | * An unfortunate one on ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''. It was intended to be the season finale, but the show wasn't picked up for a second season, ending the show with a cliffhanger where Abe realizes he's in love with Joan and comes so close to telling her, only to be frozen mid-sentence with the rest of the show's principal cast in a quick freezer by Scudworth. |
| 42 | ** That is, until 2023, when the show was finally revived for a second season. |
| 43 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} Grows Up''. What better way to wrap up a weird series than with a weird ending. And a TimeSkip one no less. |
| 44 | * ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' The GrandFinale actually happens in the second-to-last episode with the defeat of resident BigBad XANA. The last episode consists of our heroes reflecting on their adventures and deciding to move on. |
| 45 | * ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'''s "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S." which [[MediumBlending medium blends]] live action and its usual animation as the now grown up Sector V (sans Numbuh 1) are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin interviewed]] about their final mission with their leader. [[spoiler: It turns out to be a ploy by Father to find out Nigel's whereabouts so he can pay him back for stealing his pipe. Though ''this'' turns out to be a plan by Sector V to get rid of him once and for all. What's more Nigel is revealed to have returned to Earth from his intergalactic mission]]. |
| 46 | * The animated ''WesternAnimation/ConanTheAdventurer'' which was vastly underrated, had an awesome Grand Finale. It was actually the first show that built up a plot and had the heroes defeat their ultimate Big Bad. [[spoiler:And restore Conan's family back to normal after Wrath-Amon turned them to stone.]] |
| 47 | * The ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' episodes "Remembrance of Courage Past" and "Perfect" resolve Courage's inner turmoils and set several problems straight, with TheMovie ''WesternAnimation/StraightOuttaNowhereScoobyDooMeetsCourageTheCowardlyDog'' seeing him [[TheMagicGoesAway put an end to Nowhere's supernatural phenomena once and for all]]. |
| 48 | * The final episode of ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' (the original 1980-92 series), "The Intergalactic 147" ends like a grand finale. The plot had aliens engaged in a space-wide snooker game and to win they had to pocket earth into the black hole Alpha Omega. DM wastes no time in getting the whole world to take a giant leap to the right and tilt Earth long enough for the aliens' cueball to miss. It ends with a wide shot of London having been cleaned off by the aliens (for the cueball to hit), the narrator's tangent fading off, majestic music and a slow fade out. |
| 49 | * ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', "WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet": After some humiliation competing against a new ghostbuster team, Danny decides to remove his powers and retire. However, the world is imperiled and needs Danny again. With great difficulty, Danny regains his powers and succeeds in saving the world. As a result, Danny is honored throughout the world while he and Sam hook up for good in his new and busy life, while Vlad is (seemingly) killed by a meteor. |
| 50 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' has two. The last episode of the regular, half-hour series, "Boxing Daria", in which Daria begins having flashbacks of her parents arguing and the constant parent-teacher conferences about her asocial behavior and the possibility that she may have social development issues, ending with Daria's parents telling her that, despite not being a social butterfly like Quinn, they still love her; with Daria in turn telling them that she considers herself lucky to have them as parents. The finale that closes out the entire series (both the half-hour episodes and the made-for-TV movies) is ''Is It College Yet?'', in which Daria's class prepare for life after high school (except for Kevin the football player, who has to repeat his senior year), Quinn gets a job and befriends a coworker with a drinking problem, Sandi loses her voice after Stacy wishes that Sandi would shut up (leading to The Fashion Club dissolving), Mr. [=DeMartino=] discovers that Ms. Barch and Mr. O'Neill are a couple and trying to get Mr. O'Neill out of it, Jane contemplates on whether or not college life is for her, Upchuck finally gets a date, and Jodie chooses whether to go to her parents' alma mater or to heed their advice to attend a more prestigious college. |
| 51 | * ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'': |
| 52 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' was wrapped up with the two-part episode "Legacy", which had Superman brainwashed by Darkseid and set upon Earth. |
| 53 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' had one in the episode "Power Outage" where a scientist managed to make a cure for the Bang Babies, turning them powerless including Static and Gear. Both of Static's recurring bad guys, Hot Streak and Ebon, planned to recreated the Big Bang (which started the series) to get their powers back. During the fight, they do explode the gas that give them their powers. But, not only do Static and Gear get their powers back, it merges Ebon and Hotstreak together into a major monster. Both are defeated, though Static and Gear suspect they aren't gone for good, and figure the second Big Bang may have created more Bang Babies. But with the cure from earlier now available, it's likely this won't last long and Gear tells Static he'll whip up an anti-cure to make sure at least the both of them can keep their powers and continue being superheroes. |
| 54 | ** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' ended with the three-part episode "Starcrossed", where the League faced battle with an army of invading Thanagarians and Hawkgirl had to choose whether to be loyal to the Justice League or her home planet Thanagar. |
| 55 | ** ''Justice League Unlimited'' concluded with the two-part episode "Alive"[=/=]"Destroyer", which had the Justice League and the Secret Society [[EnemyMine join forces]] to take down Darkseid in a final battle. The episode "Epilogue" also functions as a FullyAbsorbedFinale for ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', with Terry [=McGinnis=] still active as Batman in his adult years and planning to propose to his girlfriend Dana Tan. |
| 56 | *** The show was meant to end with the last season 2 episode, ''Divided we Fall,'' where the Justice League fought a combination of Lex Luthor and Brainiac. However, the show was given a third season. |
| 57 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Detention}}'': The final episode, "Rule the School", ends with Shareena throwing two simultaneous parties at her house: an anniversary party for her parents, and "the cool party" in her bedroom. Not too bad for a ShortRunner. |
| 58 | * ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' had two before it got UnCanceled. The nominal end of the series was "Last But Not Beast" which involved Dexter revealing his lab to his parents so they can help him fight a giant monster. It's a bit of an aversion, [[StatusQuoIsGod since he erased all of their memories of the entire battle after it was won]]. The second one was TheMovie ''WesternAnimation/EgoTrip'', which concluded the rivalry between Dexter and Mandark in the distant future. The revival, however, has no clear finale, though the closest are the DistantFinale episode "Bygone Errors", which could serve as the epilogue due to it focusing on the elderly version of Dexter from ''WesternAnimation/EgoTrip'' and the last produced episode "Babe Sitter / Mountain Mandark / 2Geniuses 2Gether 4Ever", the latter of which has Dexter finally defeating Mandark. |
| 59 | * ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' ends with the episode "It's a Hard Doc Life!" that is based on the 1946 movie "''It's a Wonderful Life''" where Doc begins to wonder if her patients would've been better off if she hadn't been with them at all after making a big mistake at the [=McStuffinsville=] Toy Hospital. |
| 60 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' had "Doug Graduates / Doug's Bad Trip" for the Nickelodeon series, and "Doug's Marriage Madness" for the Disney series. |
| 61 | * ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' ended with the SpinoffSendoff "Let's Go To Music School!", which featured the Explorer Girls from ''WesternAnimation/DoraAndFriendsIntoTheCity''. Oddly enough, this aired in most parts of the world after said series had premiered, and in the US, it premiered after the show had been cancelled. |
| 62 | * ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' has TheMovie titled ''The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!'' as the grand finale. |
| 63 | * The finale of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' has Scrooge [=McDuck=] getting possession of the Golden Goose...a magical artifact that can turn anything it touches to gold. The problem is, it eventually, it becomes sentient, and starts acting on its own, going after anything and anyone, turning them to gold. Then, things get even worse, when the goose starts The Golden Death... a massive, spreading wave that will eventually turn the entire planet to gold, and everyone on it. Scrooge has to return the goose to the temple it was stolen from before he loses everything he holds dear due to his greed. Thankfully, he manages to make it at the very last second and save the planet. |
| 64 | ** The show got a movie, ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'', not long after the original series ended which some have taken for a true finale. |
| 65 | * The ending of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' ties up the entire season-long MythArc in a three-part episode pitting the heroes against F.O.W.L.. |
| 66 | [[/folder]] |
| 67 | |
| 68 | [[folder:E-N]] |
| 69 | * ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' ends with a DramaBombFinale [[TheMovie movie]] titled ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddysBigPictureShow'', where Eddy's Brother appears, the kids actually fight back against Eddy's Brother when they realize that he's been pushing him around ever since they were kids (and that most of the torment that he put Eddy through [[FridgeHorror most likely led to his sleazy personality]]), realizing that they were just as awful as Eddy's Brother, and finally accept the Eds as friends. |
| 70 | ** In the meantime, the final episode of Season 5 was pretty damn satisfying. It too, defies StatusQuoIsGod -- Eddy stands up for Double D against the Kanker Sisters after Double D has a particularly bad day ("HE'S HAD ENOUGH ALREADY!!!"). Moreover, the Sisters actually decide that maybe it's best they leave for the moment. Eddy then hands Ed and Double D hot dogs, and asks them -- albeit in a very nasty tone of voice -- "There, is everyone happy? Good!" Sure, maybe they didn't actually accomplish anything, and Double D and Eddy are both bruised beyond belief, but you get the feeling that they finally got to end on a happy note and maybe realized they don't have to be the {{Cosmic Plaything}}s forever. |
| 71 | ** Before the show was renewed for more seasons due to fan demand, it had the SeriesFauxnale, "Take This Ed and Shove It", where it's revealed the entire series is just old man Eddy retelling adventures to an older version of Ed and Double D. |
| 72 | * ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor'' ends with the ExtraLongEpisode "Coronation Day" where Elena returns to the Spirit World to save her kingdom family, and friends, and face the ultimate test of her courage before becoming queen after Team Ash releases legendary spirit misfits, the Four Shades of Awesome. |
| 73 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'' had a Grand Finale that ended with Kuzco graduating high school, becoming a full fledged Emperor, allowing Pacha's family to move into the palace, and getting an actual ''date'' date with Malina. |
| 74 | * ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'', a SequelSeries to ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', ended its run with the two-part episode "Back in the Saddle", which had Egon Spengler reunite with the other founding Ghostbusters Peter Venkman, Winston Zeddemore, and Ray Stantz and both the original team and the new team working together to stop a massive fog-like entity from destroying New York City. |
| 75 | * ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries'' ended with the episode "Doomsday", where Doctor Doom stole the Silver Surfer's powers a second time and had to be stopped by the Four in a final battle. |
| 76 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' had several ending points, but “Meet the [=OddParents=]” in season 8, where Timmy reveals his godparents to his parents, and season 9’s “The Fairy Beginning”, which flashes back to Cosmo and Wanda’s school days, are the most obvious, while season 10 did not have a grand finale episode. |
| 77 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' ended with "The End of the Beginning". [[BigBad Venomous Drool]] decides to take matters into his own hands when a mysterious voice starts speaking to him and he turns Skullbania and Earth into a MergedReality by using an artifact called The World Chain, allowing him to take his [[{{MacGuffin}} Toe of Evil]] back from Fangbone and Bill and regain his full power. To defeat him, Fangbone and Bill gather up all the allies they've made over the series and defeat Drool by ripping the Toe out of his foot, undoing The World Chain's magic and trapping Drool on Earth (which renders him totally powerless since he can only use his magic on Skullbania). AndTheAdventureContinues as the close proximity of Earth and Skullbania have now made it possible for Skullbania's inhabitants to freely enter Earth as they wish, and it is revealed that the Toe of Evil is set to rise as the new BigBad, having been sentient the whole time and the one who manipulated Drool earlier to use The World Chain. |
| 78 | * ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'': Downplayed with "Back to the Past," whose main episode was just another adventure, but whose ending moral saw Jake tear down the fourth wall, explain that it was all a show, performed in the name of fun, and once and for all say thank you and farewell to the viewers. |
| 79 | * ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks'': The episode "The Big Woo" ends with the cast graduating and Oscar and Bea admitting their feelings for each other. Also, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Clamantha becomes]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment a butterfly]]. |
| 80 | * ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' ends with everyone at the titular home believing that Mac is moving away, so they try to make it his best day ever. Mac's best friend Bloo, however, is unable to spend any time with him and ends up confronting him about it. This reveals that he isn't moving to another town, just another apartment... the one previously owned by Cheese's creator, who has moved to a place that doesn't allow imaginary friends. Guess whose become the newest resident at Foster's? |
| 81 | ** Some fans consider the real GrandFinale to be the DarkerAndEdgier television movie that aired earlier that season, ''WesternAnimation/DestinationImagination''. Here, Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Wilt, and Coco have to rescue Frankie from a RealityWarper WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds imaginary friend who [[spoiler: really just wanted to have a friend.]] The film concludes with Frankie finally receiving some much need appreciation for all her hard work from the rest of the resident and [[MeanBoss Mr. Herriman]]. |
| 82 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' had at least four {{Series Fauxnale}}s ("The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", the [[VideoGame/{{Futurama}} video game]], the made-for-DVD movie "Into the Wild Green Yonder", and "Overclockwise," which purposely left the fate of Fry and Leela's relationship hanging, though it's implied that they will be together) before finally coming to an end with the season seven episode "Meanwhile", which featured Fry and Leela finally getting married. |
| 83 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' came to an end with the special "Rodent Rebellion", which had Garfield, Odie and Nermal having to save the town from being overrun by rats who have framed Jon for committing robberies. |
| 84 | * Technically, the Grand Finale of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' was "Angels in the Night", which had the Quarrymen put out of action after their latest attempt at wiping out the Manhattan Clan as well as the Manhattan Clan finally being accepted by humanity. However, since series creator Greg Weisman confirms that the ''Goliath Chronicles'' season was [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]], this makes the three-part season two finale "Hunter's Moon" the official conclusion of the series. The three-part episode was epic in scope, brought the story full circle, had lots of callbacks to earlier episodes, and culminated in thwarting [[BigBad Demona's]] master plan. The release of a short-lived but canon comic continuation by Slave Labor Graphics that adapts the first episode of ''The Goliath Chronicles'' while disregarding the rest of that season in favor of new stories somewhat muddies the waters. |
| 85 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'' ends with Scratch [[spoiler:retuning to his once-abandoned human body, Todd Mortenson, and is able to go ahead and live out the life he never could before due to his depression, however by doing so he forgets about Molly and all his friends in the living and ghost world during his time as a Wraith (with only some vague remnants of their time together remaining such as Molly's catchphrase and the term "enhappify") and he ultimately leaves Brighton to explore the world and reunite with Adia. Regardless, Molly and her friends and family remain tighter than ever and set out to live out their own lives, too, while never forgetting about Scratch and see him off before he leaves]]. |
| 86 | * ''Franchise/GIJoe'': |
| 87 | ** Because Hasbro pulled the plug on the series before another season was made, ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeTheMovie'' is effectively the Grand Finale to the Sunbow run of ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero''. The Creator/DiCEntertainment continuation did not end with a Grand Finale. |
| 88 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeExtreme'' ended with the two-part episode "Metalhead goes A.W.O.L."[=/=]"Betrayal", which had the Joes finally shut down SKAR and capture the organization's leader Iron Klaw by having Metalhead pretend to betray the Joes and join SKAR in order to bring SKAR down from within. |
| 89 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeSigma6'' concluded with the two-part episode "Ice"[=/=]"Assault", which ended with the heroes capturing every Cobra member except for Cobra Commander and Firefly. |
| 90 | ** The two-part episode "Revelations" served as the final conclusion to ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades'', as it had Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, and Tunnel Rat finally clear their names and put a serious dent to the operations of Cobra. While Cobra Commander is shown to survive his fall into a vat of Bio-Viper remains and swears revenge against the Joes, it's just as well that the series ends here because ''Renegades'' would have become an ArtifactTitle if there were more episodes. |
| 91 | * Because the series was cancelled before a second season went into production, the ''WesternAnimation/GoodVibes'' episode "Red Tuxedo" counts as the series finale, and it ended with Gina ditching Turk for Mondo. |
| 92 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' ended with the three-parter "Weirdmageddon", with the final episode being an hour-long event. The finale picks off from where the previous episode left off, and has the main characters deal with TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The first part has [[MadScientist Grand Uncle Stanford]] be captured by [[EldritchAbomination Bill Cipher]], the [[GreatBigBookofEverything Journals]] destroyed and [[KidHero Dipper]] forced to wander the wreckage of the town before discovering where [[BrotherSisterTeam Mabel]] is being held prisoner. The second part, subtitled "Escape from Reality" has Dipper, [[ActionGirl Wendy]], and [[ManChild Soos]] enter the pocket dimension that Mabel is trapped in order to rescue her, only to discover that she has been manipulated into staying there with [[LotusEaterMachine a virtual paradise that gives her whatever she wants]] and where she never has to grow up. [[MakesSenseInContext After a courtroom trial]], Dipper is able to convince Mabel to leave and the four escape back into the real world. The final part, "Take Back the Falls", has the group join forces with the remaining townsfolk to take down Bill. Bill is ultimately taken down when Grunkle Stan tricks Bill into entering his mind, and allowing his mind to be destroyed by the memory gun so that Bill can be defeated. The final scenes of the series have Grunkle Stan slowly regaining his memory, and a majority of the loose ends being tied up before the kids are put on the bus back to California, where Dipper monologues to the viewer [[BookEnds in the same manner as the first episode]]. |
| 93 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' ended with "Hear Us Rock!", where Grojband uses ThePowerOfRock to save the world from being destroyed by a gigantic asteroid. Additionally, Mina snaps at Trina and [[BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch epically betrays her]], while Corey is implied to have finally realized Laney's feelings for him (and to return them in kind). The final scene even has all four members of Grojband ThankingTheViewer before closing the series. |
| 94 | * ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' was screwed out of its grand finale known as "The Jungle Movie" after [[WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheMovie the first movie]] flopped. However, thanks to [[SendingStuffToSaveTheShow overwhelming fan support]] and an initiative at the time to revive older properties, [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell it was put back into production]] as a MadeForTVMovie and [[WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie released towards the end of 2017]]. ''The Jungle Movie'' ties up all loose ends from the original series, including the whereabouts of Arnold's lost parents, his mysterious last name, and his feelings towards Helga. |
| 95 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1996'' came to an end with "Mission Incredible". While it didn't provide complete closure, it did have General Ross recover from his coma and reconcile with his daughter Betty as well as bury the hatchet with Bruce Banner. |
| 96 | * The movie ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZimEnterTheFlorpus'' effectively serves as a finale to the [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim original show]]. While its conclusion is rather open-ended, it does feature Zim actually successfully (if briefly) conquering Earth, the Irken Armada being seemingly [[AndIMustScream permanently doomed]], and [[WellDoneSonGuy Dib]] getting the recognition and love of his family, three things that [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption seemed perpetually out of reach in the show]]. Also, it features [[FinalBattle the most intense action sequence]] in the history of the series, lending to the movie's more overall intense scope and nature. |
| 97 | * While ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' was intended to get a third season, the two-part second season finale "The Makluan Invasion" wraps the series up nicely by having Iron Man, War Machine, and Rescue thwart an alien invasion and strive to continue protecting the city after their secret identities become public knowledge. |
| 98 | * ''WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries'' finished with the two-part episode "Hands of the Mandarin", where the Mandarin attempted to use a crystal called the Heart of Darkness to eradicate all technology and defeat Iron Man once and for all. |
| 99 | * ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' had a spectacular one: Drago, the BigBad of the final season, manages to absorb the powers of the Demon Sorcerers (his aunts and uncles) and transforms into a truly [[OneWingedAngel monstrous form]] more than capable of [[CurbStompBattle easily defeating]] everything the heroes can throw at him. He then proceeds to have his QuirkyMinibossSquad destroy [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction Section 13]] while he prepares to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. This leaves the heroes with no choice but to [[EnemyMine join forces]] with Drago's father (and overall series BigBad) Shendu, who doesn't like the idea of Drago messing around with "his" world. They have a rather epic fight scene, which only ends when the heroes manage to [[SealedEvilInACan banish them both to the demon world]] for good, along with the PlotCoupons that started the series in the first place. |
| 100 | * The series ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' had a finale episode called "A Father Should Be", which ended with a truce and the entire cast singing 'This is Farewell'. |
| 101 | * The ''WesternAnimation/JumanjiTheAnimatedSeries'' had a finale, at a time when such was extremely rare for kids' shows. Unfortunately, it's a ClipShow in which we sit through boring StockFootage until we finally [[spoiler:see Alan's first trip into Jumanji, including the clue that he never got to see. Once they solve it, the three leave the World of Jumanji for good. As Peter says at the end: "Game over."]] |
| 102 | * ''WesternAnimation/KidCosmic'' concluded with "The Planet Killer" and "The Grand Opening of Planet Earth", the final two episodes of the show's third season ''The Global Heroes''. The events of the episodes consisted of the heroes engaging in a final battle against Fantos and Erodius that ends with Fantos being killed when he is absorbed into Erodius, the heroes' Cosmic Stones being permanently stripped of the super powers they provide, Papa G sacrificing his healing stone so that Erodius will finally be at peace and stop destroying planets and Jo's mother Flo re-opening her diner in time to attract scores of customers from beyond the stars. |
| 103 | * ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'''s ''[[WesternAnimation/KimPossibleMovieSoTheDrama So The Drama]]'' was a rare example -- when it was written. After the fact, the series was {{uncanceled}} and given a PostScriptSeason. Then it got a second Grand Finale, that ended the HighSchool-based series in the most final way possible -- a two-parter entitled "[[GraduateFromTheStory Graduation]]". |
| 104 | * ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' averts a flashy Grand Finale, but in the last episode "To Sirloin With Love", Hank and Bobby find a common ground (grilling beef) and [[SoProudOfYou finally start bonding like father and son]], while Dale gives Nancy a massage that's better than John Redcorn's and viewers finally find out what Boomhauer does for a living (he's a member of the Texas Rangers). The [[SeriesFauxnale original last episode]] was supposed to be in season 10 with Luanne marrying Lucky and everyone from past seasons coming to the wedding, but the show got picked up for two more seasons. |
| 105 | * ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' got a Grand Finale in the movie ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch'', where all the experiments are recovered, Gantu does a HeelFaceTurn against Dr. Hämsterviel, whose JokerImmunity wears off, and all the experiments in ''The Series'' are listed by name in the credits. However, it did ''not'' end the ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise (just the original Western "Lilo" continuity), as [[Anime/{{Stitch}} an anime]] and [[Animation/StitchAndAi a Chinese animated series]] were later made and released, both of which established themselves as taking place after ''Leroy & Stitch'' and separated Stitch from Lilo. |
| 106 | ** The actual last episode before ''Leroy & Stitch'' also counts, first airing just before that film on the same night, no less. It involves Lilo and Stitch recovering the experiments caught by Gantu, who was planning to reconvert the ones that Lilo and Stitch rehabilitated to evil using Angel. However, that episode ("[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E25Snafu Snafu]]") was not the last broadcast, as "[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E26Link Link]]" was first released as a bonus feature on the ''Leroy & Stitch'' DVD a few days after the movie's broadcast, and then was broadcast on Disney Channel the following month after. |
| 107 | * ''WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins'' had the special episode ''Rocket's Firebird Rescue'' serve as the Grand Finale. |
| 108 | * Although ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'' was CutShort, it did end with the FiveManBand ascending from protectors of [[CityOfAdventure Acmetropolis]] to protectors of the universe, and relocating their base to Planet Blanc for convenience. |
| 109 | * Because every character who has ever appeared in an episode makes an appearance in it, ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'''s Scarecrowella episode was probably going to the the last one aired. Unfortunately, the episode "As Pretty as a Picture" aired last. |
| 110 | * ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'''s "Rearview Mirror, Mirror" two-parter wound up being this due to CN not greenlighting a third season. It involves Coop and Gorrath being taken to a alternate universe where an evil (and much slimmer) version of Coop rules alongside a cybernectic Kiva with a much more powerful mech. And ''Jamie'' of all people leading a resistance. The original Megas is destroyed. But luckily Evil Coop had stashed away his Megas which normal Coop uses. It all leads into an all-out battle against Evil Coop's forces that ends with Evil Kiva and him stranded in a cutesy dimension. Both dimensions saved and everything going back to to normal. It wasn't really intended to be the finale but the writers were smart enough to keep it both opened ended as well as an epic close out for the show. |
| 111 | * ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'' had a cool one, in which the MIB is finally forced to reveal themselves to the world while thwarting a full-on alien invasion and entering a FinalBattle with BigBad Alpha. |
| 112 | ** And yet they still somehow managed to find a ResetButton big enough and red enough to show that as far as they are concerned StatusQuoIsGod. This was probably due to ''Men in Black II''. |
| 113 | * ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' ended with the special "A Goofy Fairy Tale", where all of the stories in the Clubhouse vanish and Goofy sets out to find them. |
| 114 | * ''WebAnimation/MightyMagiswords'' has a final episode, "Let's Team Up Because We Aren't Bad Friends", that actually ''deconstructs'' this trope. Vambre and Prohyas decide that their current adventure isn't exciting enough and enlists occasional tagalong adventurers Noville and Witchy Simone to accompany them, even though they clearly don't show much interest in it. The adventure comes close to its conclusion at the expected time for a regular episode, but the Warriors insist that they need to get everyone else enthused and deliberately sabotage their own mission in order to make it last as long as a double episode. They go overboard in enlisting additional characters and villains, and even bring in a {{Crossover}} from another Cartoon Network show. By the end, the battle seems nearly lost due to their own tampering, and they need to be told that the other characters have their own lives and don't always need to be part of theirs. And when they become overly dramatically apologetic over it, they're told that they don't need to do ''that'' either, as all anyone really wanted from them was good battles and entertainment. |
| 115 | * ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax'''s two-parter "Armageddon Closer" and "Armageddon Outta Here". Skullmaster manages to re-power his Crystal of Souls and put his endgame into effect, reviving all of Max's previously slain foes to hunt him down so he can get his portal making cap. Norman is killed by a giant spider helping Max escape, Max's EnemyMine plan with the Lava Lord fails and Virgil is disintegrated despite Max giving in to Skullmaster's demands. All seems lost until Max, out of desperation, grabs the staff as Skullmaster is preforming the final ceremony to control time. Thanks to this interruption, time is rewound and Skullmaster's plan is thwarted. [[ResetButton Max ends up returning back to the day he received the cap]], but luckily with [[RippleEffectProofMemory memories of the previous timeline]]. Once the statue holding the cap comes in (along with an extra note from Virgil telling him "not to take too long this time"), Max gleefully puts it on stating things will be different this time. |
| 116 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' gets a three-part finale, when prior season finales were only two parts at most, on a unique primetime slot [[MeaningfulReleaseDate almost nine years to the day the show first aired]]. The two-part "The Ending of the End" sees the FinalBattle between the heroes and team-up of all the remaining {{Big Bad}}s, who've become so powerful it takes [[AvengersAssemble practically all of the friends and allies made over the series]] to turn the tide. "The Last Problem" is a DistantFinale set decades[[note]]characters last seen as babies are now adults[[/note]] afterwards, showing what's become of the characters and [[EarnYourHappyEnding how they and Equestria are better off after everything]], [[BookEnds ending with the closing of the same book whose opening started the series]]. |
| 117 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' got "Winnie The Pooh & Christmas Too". By this point, Paul Winchell had retired from the role of Tigger (until ''Pooh's Grand Adventure''), and they got him to come back for this last episode, and a very heartwarming one it is. Several Pooh featurettes made afterwards still use clips and continuity from the TV series however, poetically the third ChristmasSpecial ''A Very Merry Pooh Year'' and the final featurette to do so, reused ''Christmas Too''. |
| 118 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' has Season 15, which is set to wrap up the story that began in 2011, with the Ninja facing off against The Overlord in one final battle. |
| 119 | [[/folder]] |
| 120 | |
| 121 | [[folder:O-T]] |
| 122 | * ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' reached its conclusion in the penultimate episode "Let's Fight to the End", which [[ExtraLongEpisode ran for a half-hour rather than the standard 12 minutes]] and had K.O. finally regained control of his body by reconciling with his SuperPoweredEvilSide T.K.O. and used his wish given to him by the President of the Universe to bring everyone T.K.O. killed by draining their energy back to life. The episode after that was a DenouementEpisode titled "Thank You For Watching the Show", which had K.O. learning to accept that nothing about his life will be the same forever before we're shown all the characters' happy endings. |
| 123 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' ends with the hour-long special "Watching and Dreaming", wherein Luz, Eda and King confront [[ObliviouslyEvil the Collector]] and manage to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talk him into a]] HeelFaceTurn... only for [[BigBad Belos]] to take the opportunity to [[HijackingCthulhu hijack the Titan's power for himself]] to try and destroy the Boiling Isles for good, kicking off the FinalBattle against him. After it's won, there's a [[DistantFinale four-year]] TimeSkip, as we [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue see what everyone's up to now]], and they all gather to throw Luz a belated quinceañera as she moves to the Isles to attend magic university. |
| 124 | * The final episode of ''WesternAnimation/Patrol03'' was "Bringing Up the Walrus", which had the corrupt police chief Pamela and Professor Molo attempt to discredit Mayor Walrus by de-aging him into an infant and tricking him into approving ridiculous laws. In addition to Mayor Walrus eventually being restored to his true age, there are many aversions made to the status quo: Professor Molo is finally sent back to jail, Pamela is exposed as the city's criminal mastermind and is given a choice between jail and being demoted to traffic officer (she picks the latter), and Shorty is made the new chief of police so that he, Wilfred, and Carmen can continue defending the city from crime without being seen as ineffectual and incompetent. |
| 125 | * ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' ended with the appropriately titled hour-long special "Last Day Of Summer". The plot is that it's the inevitable 104th day of summer, and that's it's Candace's final chance to bust the boys, who have combined almost all their previous inventions into one colossal invention. Of course, the invention disappears before Mom shows up, so she recommends that Candace should just return some [=DVDs=] to Vanessa. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz builds a Tri-Govenor-inator, after realizing that a placement for "ruler of the Tri-State Area" never existed in the first place. When Candace arrives to return the [=DVDs=], she discovers Doofenshmirtz's Do-Over-inator, which leads to Candace using it causing a GroundhogDayLoop, on her and the "evil" scientist, causing them to relive the last day, and complete their goals. Unfortunately, this causes some rips in the space-time continuum which make the days shorter, and the disappearance of items from reality and memory. This eventually causes Phineas and Ferb to disappear, and Candace is the only one who remembers who they are. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz finally takes over the Tri-State Area, and hopes that Vanessa can finally be happy about him. However, [[VictoryIsBoring he gets bored after awhile]], and once Vanessa reveals she got an internship at O.W.C.A while also explaining that he's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech basically a good guy pretending to be evil]], he does a surprising HeelFaceTurn. Candace eventually ends up in the altered time wormhole with Isabella, Bajeet, and Buford, and manages to find Phineas and Ferb. This leads to them building a catapult out of the wormhole, and into present day with the Do-Over inator. At the same time, Doofenshmirtz gets Vanessa and Perry to build a Time-Redo-inator that'll fix the timeline. Thankfully, they manage to save the timeline and everything returns to normal. This then leads to one final musical number where the main characters all recap on the show's most memorable moments and [[ThankingTheViewer thank the fans for tuning in all these years]]. And at the end, Phineas waves goodbye to the audience before shutting the door. |
| 126 | * The last episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Popples}}'' was about them going to the zoo. |
| 127 | * The 1998 ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 The Powerpuff Girls]]'' series got a Grand Finale in the [[MilestoneCelebration 10th Anniversary special]] "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!", where Mojo actually achieves his goal of taking over the world...and making it a better place much to the surprise of everyone. However, [[VictoryIsBoring he gets bored of peace]] and goes right back to causing mayhem, which in turn forces the girls to resume their hero duties. |
| 128 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}: Taking the Fifth Grade''. Also a BookEnds ending. |
| 129 | * ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' concludes its story with the three-part special "[[Recap/RegularShowS08E29ARegularShowEpicFinalBattle A Regular Epic Final Battle]]", in an epic battle between Pops and [[FinalBoss Anti-Pops]]. |
| 130 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements'' had a Grand Finale where Conrad Fleem's face is finally revealed, and it's revealed that he's Todd and Riley's uncle. |
| 131 | * The final episodes of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' were intended to be "Put Out to Pasture/Future Schlock" (the first segment features Rocko and gang reminiscent on how they met Heffer, while the other takes place 17 years in the future, when Rocko and Heffer disappear in an experimental rocket). However, Nickelodeon aired them as the next-to-last episodes, with the final one airing being the ThanksgivingEpisode. [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLifeStaticCling The television movie]] several years later would confirm that "Future Schlock" was the final adventure the characters went on, with the film's plot continuing on from their return to Earth. |
| 132 | * When ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' ended its original run, the idea was for there to be a theatrical FinaleMovie. That didn't pan out, so the show got a [[SamuraiJack/TropesSeason5 2017 revival]] on Creator/AdultSwim over a decade later instead. These final episodes gave the series a proper ending where many of Jack's allies came forward to save him from Aku, Ashi uses the powers she inherited from her father Aku to enable Jack to go back in time and finally destroy Aku, and Jack and Ashi prepare to be wed, [[BittersweetEnding only for]] [[RetGone Ashi to vanish because Aku's destruction has erased her from history.]] |
| 133 | ** ''VideoGame/SamuraiJackBattleThroughTime'', despite being an {{Interquel}}, offers its own Grand Finale for those who weren't fans of the show's ending, and a happier one at that, albeit with its own consequences. |
| 134 | * ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': |
| 135 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue'' ended with the episode "Uncle Albert Alert", where Dr. Phibes' lair was destroyed and [[spoiler:Phibes' scientist henchman Dr. Trebla was revealed to actually be Shaggy's uncle Albert Shaggleford in disguise.]] While the conclusion of the series is a bit open-ended because of Dr. Phibes evading capture and vowing to return, the aforementioned destruction of Phibes' lair as well as Shaggy and Scooby reuniting with Shaggy's Uncle Albert after he went missing for most of the series and only contacted the pair through holographic messages does bring a sense of finality to this final episode of the show's run. |
| 136 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' ends with the episode "Come Undone", where the gang finds [[EldritchAbomination the Nibiru Entity]] sealed in its [[SealedEvilInACan crystal sarcophagus]] and [[TheDragon Professor Pericles]] frees it. The two of them merge and go OneWingedAngel, destroying Crystal Cove and devouring its inhabitants, threatening to do so to the rest of the universe if not stopped, but Scooby musters the courage to throw the [[MacGuffin Heart of the Jaguar]] into the sarcophagus, which not only destroys the entity but also makes it so that [[RetGone it never existed in the first place]], so all the casualties caused by it are reversed and everyone in Crystal Cove is leading a better life than they did in the original timeline since they were never affected by its influence. [[note]] Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves got to raise their son Fred as a normal couple, and they're working as practicing obstetricians; Ricky Owens and Cassidy Williams are married, and running an environmentally friendly company with Professor Pericles as their sponsor; Fred Jones, Sr. is the principal of Crystal Cove High School, and he considers Fred to be the son he never had; Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles are married, and they have four beautiful children; Danny Darrow never went insane, he's the dean of Darrow College, and he's running his family's ancestral mansion as a historical site; Fred and Daphne are planning their wedding, with their parents gladly consenting; Shaggy is an award-winning chef with a promising future and proud parents; and Velma and Marcie are best friends, with promising careers in science ahead of them.[[/note]] With no more mysteries to solve in Crystal Cove, [[AndTheAdventureContinues the gang gets a CD from a timeline-hopping professor inviting them to a semester at his school where there are mysteries for them to solve]]. |
| 137 | * ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' ends with the ExtraLongEpisode "Forever Royal" in which Sofia, Amber, and James graduate from Royal Prep Academy when Sofia is called back to the Mystic Isles to face an evil witch named Vor, who plans to take over the kingdom of Enchancia and the Ever Realm. Presented with her biggest challenge yet, Sofia must figure out a way to defeat Vor and save her family and the people of Enchancia. |
| 138 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpecialAgentOso'' ends with the episode "Thundersmall", which is a 22-minute episode that does away with the show's [[StrictlyFormula standard formula]] for an episode where Oso, Wolfie and Dotty are shrunk and Oso has to get over his underconfidence issues to rescue them from a recycling plant. In the end he is rewarded for his efforts with a special titanium medal, contrasting the gold medals he's received over the course of the series, and completes his agent training. |
| 139 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' ends with the two-part episode "Spider Wars", which had Spider-Man ''saving the Multiverse'' from his alternate counterpart Spider-Carnage and hanging out with Creator/StanLee. The producer had some ideas about where to go next (finding Mary Jane, etc.) but acknowledged, [[http://drg4.wariocompany.com/semper.html "You really can't top that"]]. |
| 140 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'' was intended to be this for ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', though with the show's CashCowFranchise status, it didn't turn out. |
| 141 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' ended with the episode "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS4E37Cleaved Cleaved]]", featuring Star and the other queens destroying all magic in the Multiverse to stop Mina and her army. Star and Marco are finally reunited and have to deal with Earth and Mewni becoming a MergedReality. |
| 142 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Stanley}}'' concluded with the 3-part special "Stanley's Great Big Book of Adventure". |
| 143 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' has a four-part finale known as "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsSiegeOfMandaloreArc The Siege of Mandalore]]", which depicts Ahsoka alongside Rex leading a regiment of Clone Troopers allied with a splinter group of Mandalorians to capture Maul and liberate Mandalore from his grip. As the arc overlaps with ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', it includes the issuance of Order 66 and Ahsoka having to fight for her life as her previous loyal clone troopers attempt to execute her. |
| 144 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' ends with the two-part "Family Reunion -- and Farewell", which shows the Specters' FinalBattle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ezra Bridger summons a pod of [[SpaceWhale purrgil]] to carry him, Thrawn, and Thrawn's entire fleet into hyperspace, ending the occupation of Lothal. The epilogue shows that TheEmpire never threatened Lothal again before it fell, and Sabine and Ahsoka set off on a quest to find Ezra. |
| 145 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In the season 5 finale, "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28ChangeYourMind Change Your Mind]]", the Crystal Gems are reconciled with the Diamonds and Homeworld, the Corrupted Gems are finally healed, and Lars is back on Earth. It wasn't confirmed as such until a month after the airing of the [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie subsequent movie]] that indeed, it was the last episode of the series, with the material after that, ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'', being described as a separate series. ''Future'' itself ends with 20 episodes, with the last episode being "[[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E20TheFuture The Future,]]" where Steven leaves Beach City along with the Crystal Gems and his friends to travel the country, ending ''Future'' and ''Steven Universe'' altogether. |
| 146 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' ended with "Grom Fest". Everyone is excited to participate in grom fest, but Johnny has to take care of a sick [[BadBoss Bummer]]. Once a freak accident leaves Reef with a bald head, he gives up on the contest. However, it was not until later that Reef comes to terms with his baldness and comes back into the game, where he places 2nd in the boys division. Fin ends up winning the girls' division. |
| 147 | ** In some countries, "The Day The Sea Stood Still" could also be this. The groms take up new hobbies to make up for the flat waves. It was revealed that Captain Ron built a resort on an uncharted island. After it got disbanded, the gang went back to surfing. |
| 148 | * The American animated series based on ''WesternAnimation/StreetFighter'' had a definite ending. The last story arc of Cammy being brainwashed by M. Bison ended after Cammy came to her senses and freed her comrades, culminating in a final battle between Guile and Bison (Guile was made the main character of the cartoon instead of Ryu, the franchise's usual lead character). Guile finished Bison off once and for all by, bizarrely, blasting him into a computer, at which point his powers cause it to overload and the wires and insides of it seemingly begin to ''eat him alive'', before the computer then explodes. There is then the obligatory walking into the sunset of the five characters present, although there is no get-together with all the other characters or any other sense of closure. All that is known is that Bison, their eternal enemy, is definitely dead once and for all. |
| 149 | --> '''Computer:''' [[MemeticMutation This is delicious!]] |
| 150 | * The ''Franchise/TalesOfArcadia'' franchise ends with the movie ''WesternAnimation/TrollhuntersRiseOfTheTitans'', wherein the protagonists of the three component series come together prevent the Arcane Order from bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. |
| 151 | * ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' ended with "Plus Est En Vous", where Rapunzel and her friends must take Corona back from her friend-turned-enemy Cassandra, and finally confront the evil Zhan Tiri. |
| 152 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow'' ended with "The Final Battle! ('Nuff Said!)", where the Super Hero Squad faced the Dark Surfer (the Silver Surfer [[FaceHeelTurn corrupted]] [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity by the Infinity Sword and the Infinity Gauntlet]]) in a final battle that resulted in the Silver Surfer being returned to his senses, the Infinity Sword and Infinity Stones being destroyed, and all the damages caused using the Infinity Sword and the Infinity Gauntlet being undone. |
| 153 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' ended with an episode called "[[EndOfSeriesAwareness This is the End]]", where Sylvester appears to finally eat Tweety Bird and in doing so ends up causing the show to get cancelled when Tweety's replacement proves to be unpopular. Thankfully, [[spoiler:the whole thing turns out to be a dream and the episode ends with Sylvester giving Tweety a hug out of joy that he's still alive.]] |
| 154 | * ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': |
| 155 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' concluded with "Divide and Conquer", which had Lord Dregg attempt to defeat the Ninja Turtles for good by absorbing the powers of several alien criminals, only for the Turtles to defeat him for good after retrieving Krang's robot body from Dimension X and using it to trap Dregg just long enough to send Dregg to Dimension X as the robot body blows up. |
| 156 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'' acts as the grand finale for the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 second TMNT cartoon]], as the turtles, ([[CrisisCrossover and the]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 turtles]], [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage and the turtles]]) have what is most definitively their final battle with The Shredder in order to save ''every existing TMNT universe''. |
| 157 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' has three story arcs that all work as a Grand Finale. |
| 158 | *** The "City At War" arc of Season 4 (consisting of "City At War", "Broken Foot", "The Insectra Trifecta", "Mutant Gangland" "Bat in the Belfry", "The Super Shredder", "Darkest Plight", "The Power Inside Her", "Tokka vs. The World", "Tale of Tiger Claw", "Requiem" and "Owari") closes off a lot of the plot points throughout the series, containing the Turtles’ final battle against Shredder, the deaths ([[NotQuiteDead at the time at least]]) of several major antagonists including Fish-Face, Rahzar, Bebop and Rocksteady, and ending off with Splinter’s funeral, confirming that he is KilledOffForReal. According to Brandon Auman, this episode is the true series finale, and that the season 5 episodes are all just side stories. |
| 159 | *** The "Mutant Apocalypse" arc (consisting of the episodes "The Wasteland Warrior", "The Impossible Desert", and "Carmageddon") takes place in an alternate future where the world has become a wasteland and the Turtles have been separated. With the help of a mutant meerkat named Mira, the four brothers are reunited and end their arduous journey at a paradise known as Oasis. While this arc was the last three episodes in production, it ended up airing early. |
| 160 | *** "Wanted: Bebop and Rocksteady", "The Foot Walks Again", and "The Big Blowout" are the last three episodes in airdate order and had the Turtles join forces with their counterparts from the 1987 cartoon a second time in order to defeat a team-up between the 1987 incarnations of Shredder and Krang and the 2012 incarnations of Bebop and Rocksteady. |
| 161 | ** ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' has the one-hour finale, appropriately titled "Finale," which features the turtles having their final battle with the Shredder. |
| 162 | * ''WesternAnimation/AThousandAndOneAmericas'': The 26th and final episode is thematically devoted to the most powerful civilization in the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans (the Aztecs), deals with Chris being kidnapped by captors and needing to be rescued, and reveals about what the Aztecs believed to be an eventual (and inevitable) apocalypse. When Chris wakes up, we see the conclusion of the episode (and the series by extension) as Chris and Monica go downstairs to enjoy some chocolate together, prepared by the former's mom. |
| 163 | * ''WesternAnimation/ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera'' had "No Boots, No Belt, No Brero" as the wrap up for the series, with the Rivera family learning to work as a family despite their differences, as well as defeating every single villain in the show with a single epic punch. Also, [[TheBigDamnKiss Frida finally kisses Manny.]] |
| 164 | * ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'' had a finale called "Cliphangers" consisting of Timon and Pumbaa trying to catch a bug off a cliff, but then they fall, nearly facing their deaths, while [[ClipShow clips play of their previous adventures]]. Luckily, Pumbaa pulls out an umbrella and the two land safely. |
| 165 | * While it may not be a conclusion to the series proper, ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' had seven of these. With the exception of ''Pahkitew Island'', they all end with a SequelHook, since it incorporates NewSeasonNewName. |
| 166 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': "Totally Dunzo" had the spies retiring from WOOHP. Then it was UnCanceled for a PostScriptSeason in 2013. |
| 167 | * ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': |
| 168 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' ended with the three-part episode "The Rebirth", which had both the Autobots and the Decepticons receiving Headmaster and Targetmaster partners as well as Cybertron finally being restored after the eons of war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The Japanese dub chose to skip "The Rebirth" and continued the series with ''Anime/TransformersHeadmasters'', ''Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce'', ''Anime/TransformersVictory'' and ''Manga/TransformersZone''. |
| 169 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' ends with a final confrontation between Megatron and Optimus Primal on an ancient and massive warship in a battle for the fate of the timeline itself in a two-part episode titled "Nemesis". |
| 170 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' came to its conclusion in a three-part episode titled "Endgame", which had Optimus Primal sacrifice himself to defeat Megatron for good while leaving Cheetor in command of the Maxmimals and had Cybertron changed into a new technorganic form. It also serves as a grand finale to the original G1 animated canon. |
| 171 | ** The ''Anime/UnicronTrilogy'' (consisting of ''Anime/TransformersArmada'', ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'' and ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'') saw a definitive conclusion in the final ''Cybertron'' episode "Begining" (not counting the "lost episode" titled "Inferno", which was an alternate dub of the second episode). The series ends with the Unicron Singularity created by the defeat of Unicron destroyed, [[spoiler:Galvatron slain, and Cybertron more beautiful than ever before. The Space Bridge Project is begun again, and many adventures through the credits montage, ending in Coby and Lori's wedding.]] |
| 172 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' managed to wrap up nearly all the remaining plot threads in "Endgame". Megatron makes his final assault and is thwarted by the combined efforts of the Autobots, and we finally get the Optimus Prime/Megatron beatdown we've been waiting three seasons to see. The fact that Optimus returns to Cybertron [[spoiler:with the Magnus Hammer and what appears to be the Matrix also indicates that he might become the next Magnus. Also, Prowl and Starscream both die]]. The biggest hook left hanging was [[spoiler:Sari's mysterious origin]], although there are plenty of minor villains unaccounted for. |
| 173 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' ends its run in the episode "Deadlock" with the Autobots [[StormingTheCastle assaulting the]] ''[[StormingTheCastle Nemesis]]'', triggering an epic FinalBattle that ends with [[spoiler: Megatron dead, the other Decepticons scattered, and [[SuddenlySpeaking Bumblebee's voice restored]]]], followed up by [[spoiler: using the Omega Lock to restore Cybertron]]. And then there was a follow-up in the FinaleMovie ''Predacons Rising'', which involved one final conflict with [[GodOfEvil Unicron]] to wrap everything up. |
| 174 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots'', a LighterAndSofter spinoff of ''Prime'', ended at the two-part episode "Upgrades"[=/=]"Transformations", which had the Rescue Bots and the Burns family face their final challenge in a [=MorBot=] controlled by a computer virus with the personality of their old foe Dr. Thaddeus Morocco. After defeating the Morocco Virus for good, the Rescue Bots go their separate ways (Chase stays in Griffin Rock, Boulder and his human partner Graham Burns move northwest to start an Autobot/human community, Blades and Dani Burns relocate to China to train Quickshadow and High Tide, Heatwave and Kade take up the responsibility of hiring new recruits), though Chief Charlie Burns makes everyone promise to visit for Sunday dinner. |
| 175 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015'', a SequelSeries to ''Prime'', reached its end in the episode "Freedom Fighters", which had Bumblebee's assembled team of Autobots take out the Autobot High Council (revealed to be a group of Decepticons in disguise), Optimus Prime stepping down as leader of the Autobots and Bumblebee's team returning to Earth [[AndTheAdventureContinues in time to continue the good fight by thwarting Steeljaw's latest rampage]]. |
| 176 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse'' came to an end with the episode "The Other One", which featured the Autobots and Megatron [[EnemyMine reluctantly working together]] to take out an alternate counterpart of the Decepticon leader named Megatron X. Afterwards, two movies titled ''The Immobilizers'' and ''The Perfect Decepticons'' came, which both had the Autobots and Decepticons finally end their war by establishing a peace treaty while dealing with two final threats (a group of Cybertronian mercenaries and Trypticon in the former, a sapient Perfect Decepticon named Tarn with his own world-conquering ambitions in the latter). |
| 177 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBotsAcademy'' came to an end with the two-parter "Space Party"[=/=]"Crash of the Titan", which had the Rescue Bots Recruits graduate their second year at the Academy and work together to prevent the Titan Secundus from crashing into Earth. Given that the series is a SequelSeries to the original ''Transformers: Rescue Bots'', it is also the grand finale for the Aligned continuity in general. |
| 178 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersWarForCybertronTrilogy'' has its story wrapped up in the sixth and final episode of the ''Kingdom'' chapter, where the Autobots and Decepticons thwart Galvatron and Nemesis Prime's efforts in preventing them from returning the [=AllSpark=] to Cybertron. |
| 179 | * ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn'' ended with the episode "Bye Bye Bunker", where Branch feels that he's finally reintegrated with Troll society and decides to start living above ground after living in his bunker for so long, only to renege when he realizes that he's only pressuring himself to do so because he thinks it's what everyone else would want him to do. |
| 180 | * The final story arc in ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollz}}'' had the BFFL sealing Simon and Snarf away for a thousand years, reaffirming their friendship, and ending with a Farewell Luau. |
| 181 | * ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'' came to its conclusion in the half-hour episode "T.U.F.F. Break Up", which was the last episode in production order in spite of being the first episode of the third and final season to air. The plot has T.U.F.F. being forced to disband as a result of underfunding and the public [[HeroWithBadPublicity growing to hate the spy organization]], leading to Dudley Puppy, Kitty Katswell and Keswick going their separate ways and taking up new jobs. Eventually, the three are forced to reunite in order to save Petropolis from a new villain called the Overbear, afterwards T.U.F.F. is back in business and Dudley and Kitty are allowed to continue working as secret agents. |
| 182 | [[/folder]] |
| 183 | |
| 184 | [[folder:U-Z]] |
| 185 | * ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' was finished up with the two-part episode "Graduation Day", where Spider-Man faced his final challenge in fighting yet another formation of the Sinister Six (consisting of Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Scorpion, the Rhino, the Vulture, and Crossbones transformed into a Lizard-like mutant) and afterwards graduated from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. |
| 186 | * ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': "The End of the Galaxy" served to tie up all the plot threads from the season 2 MythArc involving Lord Dominator. After Dominator destroys every other planet in the galaxy, Lord Hater and Commander Peepers muster their forces to conquer the one surviving planet, where Wander and Sylvia have assembled an army composed of [[ContinuityCavalcade pretty much everyone they've helped out through the course of the series]] in a desperate last stand against Lord Dominator. After Wander tries (and fails) to talk down Dominator and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally leads her back to where all his friends are hiding]], an epic showdown ensues, and Lord Dominator is finally defeated once and for all... by ''Lord Hater'', of all people! On top of that, [[ContinuityNod the seeds from "The Flower"]] have started growing and bringing life back to all the planets Lord Dominator destroyed. Despite having nothing left of her powers or her vast army of MechaMooks, Dominator [[ShutUpKirk rejects Wander's final offer of friendship and a fresh start]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere makes an ignoble retreat]]. In the end, [[StatusQuoIsGod things (mostly) go back to normal]]: Lord Hater resolves to conquer the galaxy and prove himself the greatest villain of all time, and Wander and Sylvia resolve to keep exploring the restored galaxy, thwarting evil, and helping people out. |
| 187 | -->'''Peepers & Sylvia:''' [[MeaningfulEcho Nothing ever changes...]] |
| 188 | * ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' ended with the MadeForTVMovie, ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBearsTheMovie'' in which the Bears incur the wrath of the residents of San Francisco after an attempted viral video leads to a citywide blackout. This leads to bear-hating Wildlife Control Agent Trout attempting to separate the bears and ship them off to their natural habitats, leading the Bears fleeing to Canada. They then have a series of adventures which put a strain on their relationship as they dodge attempts to arrest them. Upon arriving in Canada, however, they learn they can't get in because they lack passports, leading to Panda breaking down and giving Grizz a scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, ending with him rejecting their brotherhood. They're subsequently captured and Grizz is sent to a grizzly bear preserve while Panda and Ice Bear are caged with plans to ship them to China and the Arctic respectively. Grizz, distraught over his failure, is comforted by a vision of his baby self, who reminds him of the vow the three bears made to always be brothers. This encourages Grizz to break himself and all the grizzlies out and rescue Panda and Ice Bear. However, as they escape, the preserve catches fire, forcing all the bears to form a giant bearstack to reach the helicopter piloted by [[BigDamnHero Officer Murphy]]. Trout is subsequently arrested and the bears are held as heroes when the rescue is broadcast on live TV and warmly welcomed back into their community. In addition, the rescued grizzlies are integrated into human society, becoming talking, human-living bears like the main trio. This allows the Bears to finally gain what they've wished for the entire series; to be fully accepted and have a proper place in the human world. |
| 189 | * The finale of ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is a two-parter about Omi freezing himself using the Orb of Tornami and waking up in far future to discover that while he was gone [[HarmlessVillain Jack Spicer]] has [[BadFuture conquered the world]] and [[FutureBadass defeated not only the other Xiaolin monks in the process, but also recurring villains Wuya, Chase Young, and Hannibal Roy Bean as well]]. After Omi frees his comrades he tries to acquire the Sands Of Time - Wu allowing to travel back in time- which he does, but at the cost of his friends' lives. He then goes back in time to realize his original goal - [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong preventing Chase Young from ever turning to]] TheDarkSide. However, by doing that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he creates another timeline]], in which Chase is good...but Master Monk Guan has took his place at Heylin and become even worse than original Chase ever was, which resulted in bad guys taking over the world, death of Master Fung and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Jack being turned into a good person]]. Omi, figuring out his counterpart from this reality would be doing the same thing he tried to do leads the Monks to the place he originally has frozen himself...which now is in the middle of enemy base. Heroes got themselves captured and Chase [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices himself to evil]] to get them free. This results in a big final battle and Omi creating a time paradox that resets everything to the original status quo...only with everyone remembering what happened. Raimundo, because of proving himself to be a competent leader in both alternate timelines gets promoted to team leader. And the episode ends with Kimiko kissing Raimundo, and ''[[VillainTeamUp every single villain the monks have ever faced joining forces to attack the temple]]'' for some reason, as our heroes get ready to beat them all up. Whew. |
| 190 | ** And then [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinChronicles it got rebooted]]. |
| 191 | * ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' was originally intended to end with a four-part episode titled "Beyond Good and Evil", which had the X-Men team up with many of their allies to fight Apocalypse, Magneto, Mystique, and Mr. Sinister. It became the SeriesFauxnale because the show was renewed for one more season, which wrapped the series up with the episode "[[Recap/XMenS5E10GraduationDay Graduation Day]]", where the X-Men gave their goodbyes to an ailing Professor X while he was carried away by Lilandra so he could be treated with Shi'ar medicine. |
| 192 | * The finale of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' was a two-part episode titled "Ascension", which featured a global fight with many small characters coming back to help, the final moments showing a future with conflicts and situations similar to the comic universe. |
