== Anime And Manga ==
* [[Bleach (Manga)|Ichigo vs Byakuya]].
** Ulquiorra - who, being Number 4, actually pulls [[Worf Effect]] out on some of the other Espada. Who were, until that point, enduring [[Worf Effect]] from the heroes. That's right; he Worfs people who Worf the heroes. {{spoiler|Taken out by a COMBINATION of [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]] and [[Super-Powered Evil Side]].}}
** Grimmjow.
* Sensui in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]''.
** Yusuke vs Gouki.
* Luffy vs Crocodile in ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''.
** As well as against Shiki in 10th movie ''[[One Piece Strong World]]''.
** And against Rob Lucci.
* Averted in ''[[Kenichi: theThe Mightiest Disciple]]'', when {{spoiler|[[Fan Nickname|Mophead]]}} challenges Kenichi to a rematch. When he wins, instead of sticking around for the rematch, he takes off so he can always remain stronger.
* Nanoha vs Fate in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Animeanime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''. The entire first season was pretty much Nanoha getting rematch after rematch against Fate until Nanoha finally grew strong enough to win.
* Maka and Soul get to fight Crona second time in ''[[Soul Eater]]''. Maka disobeyed Stein's orders specifically to get this revenge match.
* Natsu attempts this is ''[[Fairy Tail (Manga)|Fairy Tail]]'' after a defeat by one of the mooks-with one hand tied behind his back just to prove that the last loss was just good luck on his opponent's part. However, he's convinced to go after the big bad instead.
* Common in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', especially with the homunculi, due to the fact that they aren't allowed to kill “sacrifices.” Subverted in the first anime when {{spoiler|Ed ''loses'' against Envy, though Ed was arguably fighting with one hand tied behind his back since he was avoiding the use of alchemy near Al}}.
* Happens in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', Juudai vs. Edo. Juudai won their first duel, Edo comes back a while later and tromps him into the ground. Juudai takes off to Neo-Space, returns with the Neo-Spacians, and teaches Edo some lessons.
* Inverted in ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'', where is the villain (Vegeta) who wants a rematch with hero Goku. {{spoiler|He wins.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Unfinished Business|Sort]] [[In the Back|of.]]}}
** Goku vs. Tao Pai Pai in the original. He nearly kills Goku. The boy then climbs up Korin's Tower to train for a rematch.
Line 29:
* Luke vs. Darth Vader in ''[[Star Wars]]'' Episode VI.
** Anakin vs. Count Dooku in Episode III.
* Happens in all ''[[Spider-Man (Filmfilm)|Spider-Man]]'' films (though two don't have the hero defeated: Spidey wins the first over Green Goblin, and Sandman escapes the fight).
* The ''[[X-Men (Filmfilm)|X-Men]]'' films have Storm/Callisto in the third, and Wolverine/Sabretooth in Wolvie's film.
* Wong Fei-Hung vs Yan Ti San in ''[[Drunken Master (Filmfilm)|Drunken Master]]''.
* In ''My Bodyguard'', Moody bullies Clifford Peach with impunity... until to his own surprise Clifford gets his climactic [[Heroic Rematch]] at the end.
* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Film)|Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', {{spoiler|Scott replays the confrontation and battle with Gideon Graves after being brought via extra life}}.
* Happens twice in the ''[[Rocky (Filmfilm)|Rocky]]'' series. In the first, Rocky goes the distance but loses to Apollo Creed, leading to a rematch in the sequel that Rocky wins. In ''Rocky III''', Rocky's newfound cockiness leads to newcomer Clubber Lang beating him; the rest of the movie consists of Rocky getting his head back into the game to win the rematch.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' with Peter vs Sylar near the end of season 1.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'': Unless you're on a [[New Game+]] (in which case, you can win the first time around), this will be how the final battle with Lavos plays out after it defeats the party in the Ocean Palace.
* Numerous examples in the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series:
** Villainous example: ''[[Final Fantasy I (Video Game)|Final Fantasy I]]'''s {{spoiler|final boss is the first one}}.
** ''[[Final Fantasy V (Video Game)|Final Fantasy V]]'' has the heroes confront Exdeath in his castle after only barely surviving the previous encounter due to {{spoiler|Galuf's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'' has the team face Kefka at the end, who during their last meeting [[Endofthe World As We Know It|destroyed the world]], destroyed their airship, and [[Breaking the Fellowship|scattered the party]].
** ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'': Subverted in the rematch with {{spoiler|Trance}} Kuja, which, after an epic boss fight, ends exactly the same way as the first fight.
** ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]'' has the rematch with Sin after the spectacularly failed attempt to stop it in Kilika.
* ''[[Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals]]'', you're forced to lose to Gades as soon as you land a hit on [[Attack Its Weak Point|his core.]] After you've gained some companions and levels, you rematch him in an epic battle.
** Gades loves this trope. In every main game, he will beat you up badly when you first meet him (unless you grind) then you have to defeat him at the very end of the game, if not any time before the other [[Big Bad|big bads]] shows up.
Line 53:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Repeatedly in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', most especially the {{spoiler|failed invasions at the end of each season}}.
