1	'''Basic Trope''': A person gets sent to the bowels of {{Hell}}.
2
3	* '''Straight''': After his defeat, Bob gets dragged bodily into Hell.
4	* '''Exaggerated''': In a fight scene where Bob and his EvilMinions fight the heroes, Bob causes an explosion that sucks ''all'' of the characters in the vicinity into hell, heroes as well as villains. (Of course, what with all these characters now trapped in hell, this variation sounds much more like the beginning of a adventure than this trope's more common use as an [[EndingTropes ending]] to the villain's story.)
5	* '''Downplayed''': Bob's last words imply that he's seeing Hell and his soul is being pulled there, though this may just be a horrific DyingDream.
6	* '''Justified''':
7	** Bob made a DealWithTheDevil.
8	** Alternatively, hell is a place where sinners go. This is where Bob ends up after living a life of crime.
9	* '''Inverted''':
10	** A truly DownerEnding where the ''hero'' is dragged off to hell in one way or another.
11	*** Unless the hero [[TakingYouWithMe drags the villain along with them]]. Or they [[{{Determinator}} keeps kicking butt in hell]] eventually [[EscapedFromHell breaking out]].
12	** The villain had previously suffered the fate of being dragged off to hell, and his surviving minions use a SummoningRitual to bring him back out of hell.
13	** The villain [[HeelFaceTurn turns good]] and goes to Heaven.
14	** AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence
15	* '''Invoked''': The hero breaks the villain's amulet, and the effect is to [[NoOntologicalInertia break all the villain's spells]] and send him to hell.
16	* '''Defied''': The villain substituted an artifact that simply [[ArtifactOfDoom kills the hero who breaks it]].
17	* '''Exploited''': A HellSeeker breaks Bob's amulet, and hitches a ride down.
18	* '''Subverted''': The hero breaks an amulet, thinking it will break all the villain's spells and send him off to hell, but what actually happens is that the villain turns into a OneWingedAngel demon and fights the hero.
19	* '''Double Subverted''': The demon can only survive outside hell for a few minutes. After one last destructive rampage, it does get dragged off to hell, never to be heard from again.
20	* '''Parodied''':
21	** The villain is dragged off to hell...and then we clearly see that he is now living in Russia.
22	** The villain ends up in Hell, Michigan...which was their hometown.
23	* '''Enforced''': The villain and his BlackMagic are so evil that nothing less could be bad enough for him, [[KarmicDeath karmically speaking]].
