1'''Basic Trope''': Person's BalloonBelly gets so big they pop.
2* '''Straight''': After [[BigBad Emperor Evulz's]] death, [[TheDragon Violet]] commits suicide by inflating herself via inhalation and slicing herself open with a sword, causing a LudicrousGibs explosion.
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** Violet inflates to the size of a three story building before exploding and [[LudicrousGibs coating the nearby countryside with]] HighPressureBlood.
5** Violet literally swells up like a balloon, [[AllBalloonsHaveHelium rises to the occasion]] and pops, with no blood, guts, or even ''skin'' left over.
6* '''Downplayed''': BalloonBelly.
7** Only a single part of Violet's body swells up and pops, but not all of her, and she's injured but fine.
8* '''Averted''': Violet doesn't explode.
9* '''Parodied''': A TV commercial for the resturant [[AdventureDuo Jack and Charlie]] work at is made to help bring in customers. Said commercial homages the infamous [[Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife Mr. Creosote sketch]] by depicting a man gorging himself at the restaurant until messily bursting, splattering patrons with the contents of his stomach. [[NauseaFuel Understandly it doesn't help]].
10* '''Discussed''':
11--> ''' Bob''': Dude, did she just blow up like a balloon and explode?\
12''' Alice''': Well, [[BondOneLiner she always did have a inflated opinion of herself]].\
13
14* '''Played For Laughs''': After defeating Violet, [[TheHeart Alice]] stabs her in the back, which somehow causes her to inflate to enormous proportions until she explodes. It's bloodless, but as weird as it sounds.
15* '''Played For Drama''': Violet's explosion is [[NauseaFuel incredible graphic and shows everything in grotesque detail]].
