** In the seventh Fire Emblem, {{spoiler|either Lloyd or Linus becomes the final boss of the second act, depending on who died first.}}
* The whole [[Mario & Luigi]] series is this. We have [[The Dragon]] of the first game, [[Strange Syntax Speaker|Fawful]], being forcefully ejected from [[Gender Bender|Bowletta's]] castle. In the second game, he's a badge salsman who is in a spot where he conveniently can't see the adult bros. Then, in the third, {{spoiler|he's the [[Big Bad]], or at least he is until the [[Artifact of Doom|Dark Star]] takes over}}.
* A common theme in ''[[Splinter Cell]]'' is that in the [[Big Bad]] and main instigator of the current problem is killed off in the penultimate mission, with the finale being something of a mop-up mission. In ''Splinter Cell'' it takes place in a [[Downloadable Content|DLC]], while in ''Double Agent'' it's a bonus level for achieving the full ending.
* This is fairly common in the ''[[Warcraft]]'' universe, especially in the [[World of Warcraft|MMO]].
** Rend Blackhand was chief lieutenant to Orgrim Doomhammer during the Second War. During the climactic battle which saw the Horde defeated, Rend and his clan were sent to deal with Gul'dan. After a few final skirmishes with the Alliance, Rend and his remaining allies retreated to Blackrock Spire. Decades later, Rend has proclaimed himself the [[The Remnant|Warchief of the Horde]] in opposition to Thrall. However, his battle is doomed to failure and he is little more than a minor lieutenant to Nefarion.
