1 | '''Basic Trope''': A {{Villain|s}} mourns over a [[TheHero Hero]]'s death. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Evil Bob kills [[MeaningfulName Hiro]], then goes to his funeral. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Evil Bob, having finally killed his nemesis, Hiro, is so grief-stricken due to his loss, that he decides to give up his life of evil, [[HeelFaceTurn perhaps even turning good himself]]. |
5 | ** Hiro murders Evil Bob's henchmen and his wife in the final battle. Yet, Evil Bob goes to his funeral. |
6 | ** Evil Bob is not only mournful over Hiro's death, but we becomes outright depressed because of it. |

8 | ** Hiro is part of a group of heroes. After he's killed, Evil Bob keeps making plans that have to be corrected for Hiro no longer being there while trying to defeat the heroes. |
9 | ** Hiro is injured non-lethally, but Evil Bob is still concerned over his enemy's well-being. |
10 | ** Evil Bob expresses his condolences to Hiro's friends the next time they fight. |
11 | * '''Justified''': |
12 | ** Evil Bob has focused his life around his nemesis, Hiro, for so long, that he must seriously consider what to do with his life with Hiro gone. |
13 | ** Hiro was never meant to die. The fact that Evil Bob did it was completely unintentional. |
14 | ** Hiro died because someone else killed him, and Bob is upset because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou always wanted to be the one who did him in]]. |
15 | ** The reason Evil Bob became a villain was for the challenge. Now that Hiro is dead, it's just too easy. |
16 | ** Evil Bob is Hiro's friend even though they're on two opposing sides, and he never wishes for his best friend's death, it's his subordinate who killed Hiro by a complete accident. |
17 | ** Evil Bob hoped to [[WeCanRuleTogether convince Hiro over to his side]] and regrets the loss of a potential ally. |
18 | ** Hiro was a WorthyOpponent whom Evil Bob truly respected, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even evil can show]] DueToTheDead. |
19 | ** Evil Bob [[NothingPersonal held no animosity towards Hiro]], despite being on opposing sides; he sees his death as [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife unnecessary collateral damage.]] |
20 | ** [[UndignifiedDeath Considering the way Hiro died]], Evil Bob would need to be an inconsiderate jerk (and even if he is, [[DudeNotFunny he can't find the funny side on this one]]) to not find it worth mourning. |
21 | * '''Inverted''': |
22 | ** Evil Bob couldn't care less about that fool, Hiro, who thought to oppose him. When he finds that Hiro is actually alive, he falls into a deep depression. |

24 | ** AndThereWasMuchRejoicing |
25 | ** AlasPoorVillain |
26 | ** Evil Bob is the HeroAntagonist. And when he kills VillainProtagonist Hiro, he starts to mourn for him. |
27 | * '''Subverted''': |
28 | ** For a moment, Evil Bob gives a [[ThousandYardStare thousand-yard stare]] but otherwise appears unaffected by Hiro's death. |
29 | ** Evil Bob appears at Hiro's funeral, but he's [[DueToTheDead only there to piss on his grave.]] |
30 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
31 | ** Later that night, Evil Bob cries himself to sleep in his room. |
32 | ** Evil Bob becomes more mournful as the funeral continues, to the point he can't go through with it. |
33 | ** Evil Bob only pretends to do so [[LibationForTheDead when he was really pouring out a drink instead.]] |
34 | * '''Parodied''': |
35 | ** Evil Bob had a VillainousCrush on Hiro and tearfully admits it to the rest of his party... much to his humiliation. |
36 | ** Evil Bob is acting like a stereotypical crying widow during Hiro's funeral, complete with a typical all-black dress and veiled hat. |
37 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': Evil Bob goes to Hiro's funeral, only to whip out a gun and [[ShootTheDog shoot Hiro's]] TrueCompanions at the funeral. Then he bursts out in genuine tears for Hiro. |
38 | * '''Averted''': Evil Bob couldn't care less about that fool, Hiro, who thought to oppose him. |
39 | * '''Enforced''': "Let's show how nice a person Hiro was by having Evil Bob mourn for him." |
40 | * '''Lampshaded''': "You know, seeing as he was your arch-nemesis, I’m really surprised how cut up you are about this." |
41 | * '''Invoked''': Hiro is killed by someone other than Evil Bob specifically to upset or insult Evil Bob. |
42 | * '''Exploited''': |
43 | ** Hiro [[FakingTheDead fakes his own death]] in order to render Evil Bob hopelessly depressed and unable to carry out his plan. |
44 | ** Hiro fakes his own death in a way that convinces Evil Bob he's responsible because he's hoping the trauma will cause Evil Bob to rethink his life and change sides. |
45 | ** Hiro [[ThanatosGambit dies for real]], gambling that [[AntiVillain Evil Bob]] can be redeemed into making a HeelFaceTurn and become a hero even more powerful than Hiro was. |
46 | * '''Defied''': "Quick, Evli Bob! Kill Hiro!" |
47 | * '''Discussed''': Before killing Hiro, Evil Bob talks about how he may just be upset when Hiro is dead. Musings about a thin line between love and hate may be said. |

49 | * '''Implied''': |
50 | ** Evil Bob suffers from VillainDecay after killing Hiro. It can be inferred that he's just not putting his heart into it like he used to. |

52 | * '''Deconstructed''': Evil Bob is a PunchClockVillain who secretly respects Hiro. However, he can't [[HeelFaceTurn join]] Hiro's side because his boss, Emperor Evulz is holding Bob's family hostage. |
53 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
54 | ** Over time he grows to hate Hiro, but maintains [[WorthyOpponent respect]] for him, and is upset when he is killed. |
55 | ** Ultimately, Hiro's death [[HeelFaceTurn becomes Evil Bob's driving force to become a good person]], and he vows to honour Hiro's dying wish. |
56 | * '''Played for Laughs''': "Uhh... I'm NotQuiteDead." "OH THANK GOD!" *[[TheGlomp Glomp]]!* " I don't know what I would do without you! |
57 | * '''Played for Drama''': Evil Bob can't adjust to Hiro being dead to the point he either commits suicide or is eventually cut down by another evil rival. |
58 | * '''Played for Horror''': Evil Bob will attempt to murder everyone who thinks Hiro is bad. |
