Line 11:
Compare with [[Full Circle Revolution]], when this happens to [[La Résistance]] after a successful coup. See also [[He Who Fights Monsters]] for where the new boss didn't start out the same as the old boss, but became that way in the process of deposing him.

** of course, the same events and themes reoccurring with escalation is part of the overlying "Spiral" theme of the show itself, so it's probably safe to assume that this was entirely deliberate.
* The ''[[Dragonball]]'' universe: King Piccolo, Vegeta and Freeza. It all went like this: [[Big Bad]] wants Dragon Balls, Goku and company (including [[Defeat Means Friendship|the previous arc's Big Bad]]) fight a series of mooks and various [[The Dragon|lieutenants]] until the Dragon Balls are no longer an issue and then they fight the [[Big Bad]] himself. [[Reincarnation|Piccolo Jr.]] (who was fought between King Piccolo and Vegeta) is an exception because he never wanted the Dragon Balls and he never had any subordinates. He just simply wanted revenge on Goku.
* Younger Toguro and Sensui from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''. Both [[Death Seeker|Death Seekers]] who wanted Yusuke to defeat them. Both have existential crises based around [[What Measure Is a Non
** The main difference is, {{spoiler|Toguro was a demon who wanted to be killed by a human, while Sensui was a human who wanted to be killed by a demon. Lucky for them, Yusuke is [[Half

Line 30:
* ''Micronauts'' spent the first 30-odd issues disposing the tyrant Baron Karza (the black-armored centauriod figure in the collection). Once they had finally deposed the Baron, leading hero Force-Commander (the white-armored centauriod) did a [[Face Heel Turn]] and became the new [[Big Bad]].
* In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Book)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', after spending 50+ issues fighting Dr. Robotnik, he's finally done in by a combination of a [[Duel to The Death]] with Sonic and his nephew Snively, who was acting as [[The Starscream]]. Twenty-Five issues and minor dealings with wanna-be [[Big Bad]] Ixis Naugus, the new villain shows up... Robo-Robotnik, a Robotnik from another universe, who takes over and takes up the name Dr. Eggman.
* [[Tintin (Comic Book)]] and the Picaros starts with two armed guards patrolling the slums of Tapiocapolis, the city named after the egomaniacal General Tapioca. At th end of the book, General Alcazar has kicked Tapioca out with Tintin's help... and we see two armed guards patrolling the slums of Alcazarpolis. Made even more depressing by the fact that it's the very last panel of the entire series.
