| rdfs:comment | - A trope for the inevitable rematch on The Hero page. A villain can't get rid of The Hero until The Hero actually wins. Nobody likes a Downer Ending where The Bad Guy Wins, but except in the case of the Boring Invincible Hero, The Hero of the story won't win every little battle along the way. A common tactic is to make The Hero their own worf in The Worf Effect at the very beginning, then have The Hero come back stronger and win. The lost battle at the beginning and the won one at the end, in this trope, are always against the same major adversary, usually either The Big Bad or The Rival.
