Go To

Basic Trope: A hero leaves their team of heroes to go somewhere.

  • Exaggerated: Diane leaves, and is not seen or heard from again.
  • Downplayed: Diane leaves, but comes back a month later.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: After Emperor Evulz is defeated, Diane suddenly appears, asking what she missed.
  • Subverted: Diane thinks about leaving... but she changes her mind.
  • Double Subverted: She didn't want to explore the world; she wanted to go back to her home country.
  • Parodied: Diane says goodbye to her friends…because she has a haircut scheduled for today, and she doesn’t want to be late.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Diane doesn't go to explore the world after defeating Emperor Evulz.
  • Enforced:
    • The creator wanted to retire Diane for a while.
    • The crossover license stated that it would last for only twelve comic books, Diane can't be included in the works of her creator's Distinguished Competition after this final chapter, unless a new license is negotiated.
  • Lampshaded: "Why do people like leaving us after saving something?"
  • Invoked: Before the climactic battle, Diane is talking with her friend Bob about what she should do after defeating Emperor Evulz. Bob says she should go explore the world.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Bob suddenly realizes if Diane goes to explore the world, she might not come back for a long time. Bob uses his powers to close all airports, land borders, and sea borders to prevent Diane from exploring the world.
  • Discussed: "I hope Diane doesn't go away somewhere after the battle."
  • Conversed: ???
  • Implied: Before the climactic battle, Diane is seen buying some flight tickets online. After the climactic battle, Diane is nowhere to be seen.
