CAD: Whoa, I didn't realize this was a Title Bin rescue. O_o
I remember the old "The Battle Didn't Count" page had a lot of these, so bring on the examples.
Gentlemens Dame 883: I'm a bit confused on the distinction between this and The Battle Didn't Count. This is a subtrope of the other?
CAD: Yeah, it's a subtrope. This is specifically when you beat a boss, then they just bounce their own defeat right back onto you.
Gentlemens Dame 883: Ah, okay. Thanks. I'll try to make an effort to make the distinction, but do feel free to help if there are any I misplace.
Medinoc: The main problem here seems that people fail to see the distinction between this and Hopeless Boss Fight. Half of the current examples actually belong there!
