We Will Meet Again: Difference between revisions

'''Boris''': . . . don't bother.

'''Death''': It's no bother. {{spoiler|And, of course, they do meet again in the end, dancing away as the credits roll.}} }}

* In ''[[Christmas Story]]'', when Ralphie (in his imagination) shoots the bad guys, and Black Bart is escaping, Bart says, "I'll be back." Ralphie replies, "I'll be waitin'"

* At the end of [[Transformers Film Series|Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen]], Megatron and Starscream retreat, with Megatron vowing "This isn't over..."

== Tabletop RPG ==

 

** ''[[Dragonlance]]'' module DL12 ''Dragons of Faith''. Kitiara says this to the heroes just before she leaves at the end of the module.

** When a fiend (devil, demon, or other evil outsider) is killed in the mortal world, they aren't [[Fighting a Shadow|truly destroyed, but instead respawn on their home plane and are banished from the material world for 99 years]]. They'll often make this threat in their death throws, and will make good on it, either against the heroes or their offspring.

* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' the Lich King gets a version of this at the Wrathgate encounter. Faced with the combined forces of the Horde and Alliance, Arthas himself walks out, kills [[Generation Xerox|Saurfang the Younger]], sucks out his soul and looks ready to take on the entire army facing him... when Grand Apothecary Putress unleashes the new Forsaken Plague, slaughtering undead and mortals alike. Weakened but far from defeated, Arthas falls to his knees and retreats back inside with a gasping "[[This Is Sparta|This... Isn't... Over!]]"

* In the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' series, defeating an opponent with a unique character model (or in some games, [[Nominal Importance|any with a name]]) will usually result in that character saying one of these before retreating.

* Subverted at the end of ''[[Sam and Max]]'' Season 2. The Soda Poppers have just finished one of these when [[Brick Joke|the Bermuda Triangle appears above them and pours lava on them]], which [[Killed Off for Real|kills them off for real]].

* Inverted (averted? subverted? I get them confused sometimes.) in [[Mother 3]]; after your last battle with {{spoiler|Fassad}}, he explicitly states that you will ''not'' meet again.

* Also subverted in ''[[Superfriends]]'' in the episodes "Rub Three Times for Disaster" when the arrogant villain taunts the superheroes with the "He who fights..." couplet before making his escape. However, Wonder Woman immediately ropes the villain and hauls him back while saying, "He who fights the Super Friends is always captured in the end." ([[Villain Exit Stage Left|Except the Legion of Doom,]] that is.)

* Dr. Drakken's version of this trope is shouting, "You think you're all that, [[Kim Possible]], but you're not!" while [[Villain Exit Stage Left|in full retreat]]. Or, sometimes, the inversion "We ''won't'' meet again!" after springing a [[Death Trap]]. Of course, [[Bond Villain Stupidity|Kim always escapes]].

* Vlad from ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' parodies this in his first appearance, which ends with him letting Danny go because he's threatening to reveal his identity, by acting over dramatic about it.

* Aku said this to ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' all the time. He even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] it once. "We all know what's gonna happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, 'I'll be back, Samurai!'"
