I'm looking for a certain trope, where the hero manages to kill the villain, but fails to stop his plan in time. The closest I've been able to find is My Death Is Just the Beginning and You Are Too Late, but the former involves the villain's death being part of the plan and the latter doesn't necessarily involve the villain dying.
Have I somehow missed it or am I just searching for a trope that doesn't exist?
