Line 17:
== Anime and Manga ==
 
* ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'' episode "Pikachu Re-volts": "This isn't over."
* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', [[Anti-Hero]] and [[Ninja]] Sid goes up against [[Anti-Villain]] [[Samurai]] Mifune. When the heroes are ordered to retreat, Sid tells Mifune that he has no more reason to fight him, but warns him that if he lets him go Sid might come for him and [[Back Stab]] him some day. Mifune's only reply is "Sounds fun. Go."
* In ''[[Bleach]]'' anime episode #141, as the Arrancar are drawn back to Hueco Mundo they tell their Soul Reaper opponents that they will meet (and fight) again. Except Luppi. Oh [[Alas, Poor Villain|poor Luppi]]...
Line 25:
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
 
* This is [[Moment of Awesome Moments (Sugar Wiki)|epically]] [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes The Series (Fanfic)|Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]'':
{{quote| "[[Blah Blah Blah|Blah, blah, blah!]] [[Medium Awareness|This is the most boring part of the episode!]] Hero defeats villain, and villain threatens to come back, more powerful than ever! We've heard it all before, Charlie!"}}
** And outright parodied later:
Line 32:
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]'': Parodied/subverted: the leader of a band of henchmen calls out "You've not seen the last of us!" as he prepares to retreat. Robin fires multiple arrows with a single shot and [[Knife Outline|pins him to a tree]]. Pinned Mook: "You've seen the last of us!"
* In ''[[Gladiator (Filmfilm)|Gladiator]]'', Maximus promises Commodus that he will have his vengeance, "in this life or the next."
* In ''[[The Incredibles]]'', {{spoiler|after his kidnapping of Jack-Jack is foiled, Syndrome stops to shout, "This isn't the end of it! I ''will'' get your son eventually! I'll get your son!" This is a mistake: it prompts Mr. Incredible to end it right there by [[Super Strength|throwing]] [[Improvised Weapon|his]] [[Cool Car|car]] at Syndrome's plane}}.
* The Green Goblin actually yells out "We'll meet again, Spider-Man!" after their first battle in the ''[[Spider-Man (Filmfilm)|Spider-Man]]'' movie. Considering how straight-faced the movie is otherwise, hearing such a corny line thrown in was really weird.
** Uhm, considering what the Green Goblin's [[Large Ham|usually like...]]
* ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'': after the Merovingian dismisses Neo, Neo tells him "This isn't over."
Line 72:
* In ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' Miss Wormwood promises this somewhat randomly in the pilot episode. {{spoiler|At the end of the second season she reappears, having upped her ambition from "ensure the Bane breed on Earth" to "conquer the galaxy" and needs to sucker Sarah Jane into helping her.}}
* In ''[[Thunderbirds]]'', the Hood is frequently heard to utter a variation on "International Rescue haven't seen the last of me!" after his latest plan ends in an explosion.
* In the season finale of ''[[Black AdderBlackadder]] II'', "Chains", Prince Ludwig the Indestructible is stabbed and exposed by Blackadder, but doesn't leave before talking with Queenie, revealing that he was "the tall and attractive German schtablelad" that held her favourite pony in her youth and, finally, swearing revenge when called "Short Greasy Spot-Spot":
{{quote| '''Ludwig''': ''[Utterly dismayed]'' No! ''[Getting up and walking to the door in a rage]'' No! No! No! ... You vill all of you, regret the day that y'ever mocked my complexion! I shall return and wreak my rewengue! ''[[[Evil Laugh]]]''<br />
'''Blackadder''': No you won't, you'll die and be buried! ''[throws knife]''<br />
Line 87:
** She would eventually make good on that, unlike many.
* On ''[[That 70s Show]]'', Fez's crazy girlfriend Caroline declares this when Donna pretends to be interested in him to get her to stop stalking him. Pretty sure that was her last appearance.
* Chaotica, after his final defeat in the holoprogram in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''. He warns "You have not seen the last of Chaotica." Chaotica does appear briefly in a future episode.
 
 
== Radio ==
 
* With his latest [[Evil Plan]] foiled in ''[[Bleak Expectations (Radio)|Bleak Expectations]]'', Mr Gently Benevolent declares "I shall return!" and [[Villain Exit Stage Left|rides away]]. He rides back a moment later:
{{quote| '''Pip:''' You returned quicker than I expected.<br />
'''Benelovent:''' I forgot my hat. [''Exits.''] }}
Line 104:
== Theater ==
 
* Don José tells Carmen this in the opera ''[[Carmen (Theatre)|Carmen]]''.
* In ''[[Sherlock Holmes (Theatretheatre)|Sherlock Holmes]]'', when Holmes has put handcuffs on Moriarty, whom the butler is about to drag him off to the police, Moriarty tauntingly suggests to Holmes that this might not be the end. "Are you quite sure the police will be able to hold me?" he says. When Holmes replies, smiling slightly, that he is sure of nothing, Moriarty slyly tells him that he has heard Holmes is planning to take "a little trip on the Continent" with Watson and will meet him there.
 
 
== Toys ==
 
* ''[[Bionicle]]'': at the end of the 2008 storyline, Mata Nui, [[Sealed Good in Aa Can|inside the Ignika]], makes the promise "I will return."
 
== Video Games ==
 
* ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]'': Played with very interestingly. In the game's earlier fights with Bowser, you see Bowser saying Mario will pay for this... later. In these cases, it seems so distant; however, by the time of each next fight with Bowser, it tends to feel like it happened a lot quicker than it seemed like it would at the end of each previous fight.
* ''[[Sonic Adventure (Video Game)|Sonic Adventure]]'': Dr. Robotnik sort-of does this, albeit in the ''middle'' of the three stories he does it in.
* '''[[Mass Effect 2|I WILL FIND YOU AGAIN!]]'''
* ''Zelda''
** Ganondorf has a speech like this at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'':
{{quote| '''Ganondorf:''' "Curse you, Zelda! Curse you, sages! Someday, when this seal is broken -- that is when I will exterminate your descendants! As long as the Triforce of Power is in my hand..."}}
** The [[Large Ham]] incarnation of Ganon in the CD-I game "Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon" also says something to this effect.
{{quote| '''Ganon:''' "The chains! No! You haven't seen the last of me!"}}
* In ''[[Age of Mythology (Video Game)|Age of Mythology]]'', Kemos vows that "your head will hang on my mast, Atlantean!" just before he flees the first time you defeat him.
** He says almost the exact same thing, in almost the exact same situation the second time, after which he tries escaping the same way he did the first time and ends up with his head smashed out on the rocks after you defeat him the second time
* 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!]]"
Line 128:
* ''[[Tri Ace]]'' Gabriel Celeste/Celesta, a recurring [[Bonus Boss]], will say some variation of "Well done, heroes. I'm sure [[We Will Meet Again]] in another time and place. Farewell!" when he is beaten. His difficulty varies between [[Nintendo Hard]] and [[Anticlimax Boss]] with each game.
* 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 (Video Game)|Mother 3]]; after your last battle with {{spoiler|Fassad}}, he explicitly states that you will ''not'' meet again.
* In ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]'', Death says this to Alucard at the end of their confrontation at the castle entrance. {{spoiler|Indeed they do, but only if you unlock the second half of the game by freeing Richter from his [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] state.}}
* After the second fight with her and her gang in ''[[Eternal Sonata]]'', Dolce warns you that you haven't seen the last her and her gang. Indeed, there's another optional battle with them just a bit later in the game and yet another one if you're playing the game on [[New Game+|Encore Mode]].
* Played with in the ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' prequel ''[[Crisis Core]]'', when pre-insanity Sephiroth kindly reassures an anxious Zack that they will meet again soon. They do meet again... and head off to Nibelheim.
Line 135:
== Web Animation ==
 
* Parodied on ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]]'': "Next episode, Blue Laser! Next episode!"
 
== Web Comics ==
Line 147:
* ''[[Jonny Quest]]''
** The title phrase is a favourite of Dr. Zin when the Quest Family foils yet another of his schemes.
** ''[[Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (Animation)|The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]'' [[Like Father, Like Son|Like father, like daughter]]; one of Zin's twins says the same to Hadji in pretty much every episode they appear.
* ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' often ends with Dr. Claw saying over the end credits that he will get Gadget ''next time''.
* Also subverted in ''[[Super FriendsSuperfriends]]'' 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]].
* Taurus Bulba in ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' after [[Back From the Dead|returning from the first episodes]] got beaten, then flew off with a "I will be back". Of course, [[Too Good to Last|that didn't happen...]]
Line 155:
* 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!'"
* Barbados Slim in ''[[Futurama|Bender's Big Score]]'' subverts it. When Hermes gets his body fixed, his wife Labarbara finally dumps Barbados and returns to Hermes. Barbados's final line is, "You haven't seen the last of Barbados Slim. Now goodbye forever!"
** Also counts as [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]] as it was unknown at that point if the series would continue past the other three movies, and the writers weren't going to waste any of them on another Barbados/Hermes sub-plot.
* In ''The [[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'', Bowser had his own catchphrase as a version of this - "He who koops and runs away lives to koop another day!"
** So you mean he left to [[Incredibly Lame Pun|reKOOPerate?]]
