''And bleed this skyline dry.''

The [[Fight Scene]] [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|on steroids]], and the perfect climax to the [[Action Adventure Tropes|Action Story]]: The forces of Good and the forces of Evil lock swords one last time. Everything the heroes have fought for hangs on the outcome of this fight. Consequently, the heroes (and [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|sometimes]] the villains) throw everything they have into winning the '''Final Battle'''.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
 
In [[Video Games]], this overlaps with [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] and the [[Final Boss]]. Not to be confused with ''[[Final Fight]]''. The [[Space Opera]] relies on the [[Space Battle]], which can include this or show up at the beginning or middle of the show.

== Anime &and Manga ==
* Episode 25 (actually the third episode) of the ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]'' OVA makes several references to the upcoming final battle of the Kujibiki tournament to decide the next student council. The episode cuts off just before we hear the actual rules of the battle.
* The Final Battle on each series of the ''Mazinger trilogy'' varies depending on if we are discussing the [[Go Nagai]] manga, the anime series or the [[Gosaku Ota]] manga:
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
** ''The ocean itself'' filling out the [[Melee a Trois]]
* The battle for Zion in ''[[The Matrix]] Revolutions'', with the Zion forces battling the Machines in the Real World and Neo fighting Smith for the final time in the Matrix itself.
* ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' has {{spoiler|Angel's return to the village after his fake death. The only living characters that don't end up partaking in the battle are the Sergeants Turner, Mr. Weaver, the London-based characters and a few minor Sandford residents like Mr. Staker.}}
* [[Don Bluth]] used this trope in nearly every one of his films, between the hero and the villain. Notable examples include ''[[The Secret of NIMH]], [[All Dogs Go to Heaven]], [[Rock-a-Doodle]], [[A Troll in Central Park]], [[The Pebble and the Penguin]], [[Anastasia]]'', and ''[[Titan A.E.]]''.
* ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]''. Oh dear God, ''[[The Avengers (film)/Awesome|The Avengers]]''.
** The one concluding ''[[Avengers: Age of Ultron]]'' results in serious and permanent changes to the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]].
** 2018's ''[[Avengers: Infinity War]]'' ends on an even bigger one that ends with a [[Tear Jerker]].
** And ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' from 2019 is the biggest of all. One reviewer commented that it was as though the MCU had said of the Final Battle from ''Aquaman'' (see below), "Nice. Now hold my beer and watch this."
* The 2018 ''[[Aquaman (film)|Aquaman]]'' film ended on an absolutely ''epic'' undersea battle filled with incredible color and awesome action.
