Line 12:
If a movie ends with a [[Death By Sigh of Relief]] of the [[Kill'Em All|last surviving character]], it may be this (depending on sheer unlikelihood). Compare [[Diabolus Ex Nihilo]], [[Ass Pull]], and [[Cruel Twist Ending]]. Obviously, compare and contrast with [[Deus Ex Machina]]. Likely to be employed by writers who believe that [[True Art Is Angsty]].

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO|MS IGLOO]]'' Episode 5 {{spoiler|The very young recruit, Erwin, has survived the sortie, and talked his opponent into being taken prisoner rather than dying needlessly when a blast of laser fire from a distant Salamis kills them both.}}
