The Fellowship Has Ended: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime & Manga ==

** Heck, they don't even seem to write or call, as no one knew Goku and ChiChi had a 4 year old son until the beginning of the Saiyan Saga.

* [[Samurai Champloo]] ends with Fuu, Mugen, and Jin going their separate ways.

* At the end of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' most of the characters leave Tokyo to go on with their lives. Misao and Aoshi return to Kyoto. Sanosuke {{spoiler|is forced to flee from Japan and become [[The Drifter]].}} Megumi leaves to search for her family and only characters remaining are Kenshin, Kaoru and Yahiko.

* A example that [[Mind Screw|seems strange in its simplicity]] is [[Daitarn 3]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htbueyleh38 In the final chapter], After [[The Hero]] Banjō defeats the enemy on Mars, the next scene is at his Mansion: [[Action Girl]] Reika Sanjo and [[Tagalong Kid]] Toppo say goodbye to [[Battle Butler]] Garrison and [[Spoiled Sweet]] Beautiful "Beauty" Tachibana, who takes her limo to her parent’s mansion. Garrison closes the mansion and takes the bus to an unknown destiny. There is only a light in one solitary window at Banjo’s mansion. [[The End]].

 

== Literature ==

* The [[Trope Namer]], of course, is ''[[Lord of the Rings]]''. While physically separated for much of the actual story, the Fellowship breaks apart after the Ring is destroyed and the members go about the rest of their lives. Aragorn rules Gondor as King Elessar with Arwen as his wife, Faramir and Eowyn get hitched in Rohan, Legolas and Gimli go [[Walking the Earth]], the four Hobbits return to and take back the Shire from Saruman and Grima Wormtongue, and then Frodo and Bilbo leave with Gandalf, Gimli and the Elves for the Undying Lands.

* In the ''[[Dark Tower]]'' series, after {{spoiler|Eddie's death}}, the ka-tet, and the closeness inherent in it is broken. The remaining members of the group still pursue their quest, but it's not the same.

* [[Stephen King]]: after the seven children have successfully defeated ''It'' for the first time, all seven of them never meet again -- not even when they relive history 28 years later.

* The end of ''[[The Belgariad]]''. Some of the team got back together for the ''Malloreon'', and did it again at the end of that series.

 

 

** Provided you trained them in the ways of the Force, the Exile's companions {{spoiler|become the Jedi masters that rebuild the order.}}

* The end of [[Vandal Hearts]] combines this with a [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]. After you defeat the [[Big Bad]], each character moves on to something new, whether it's more adventuring the land, rebuilding the nation or collecting stamps.

* Seems to happen somewhere between ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'' and ''Shadow Hearts: Covenant''.

* ''[[Grandia II]]'' ends with a [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] to drive the point home. Roan {{spoiler|now rules Cyrum Kingdom}} and occasionally goes out to travel [[King Incognito|incognito]]. {{spoiler|Tio}} works as a nurse, also in Cyrum. {{spoiler|Millenia, [[Literal Split Personality|now separate from Elena]],}} is a grade school teacher in Lilique City (where Tongue of Valmar used to be) and [[I Will Wait for You|faithfully waits for Ryudo's return]]. [[Non-Human Sidekick|Skye]] lives with her. Mareg {{spoiler|has been [[Plotline Death|dead since the battle on Valmar's Moon]]; Roan places Tio's pendant upon the monument erected in his village}}. Elena joined a performer troupe and tours as a singer, likewise waiting for Ryudo, who is currently [[Walking the Earth]], looking for {{spoiler|a safe place to bury the [[Sword of Plot Advancement|Granasaber]] and finally end the Granas-Valmar war}}.

* The epilogue of ''[[Legend of Dragoon]]'' has this with only two of the final party members sticking together. Obviously justified in that most of them had non-quest-related business to get back to, including running two countries and rebuilding the [[Doomed Hometown]].

* Happens at the end of every [[Fire Emblem]] game, usually shown in the form of a [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]], but the ones in the eight and ninth games stand out, as every character personally says what they intend to do now before venturing off.
