** Kaido's one of the most prominent, powerful, and influential villains of the series, with multiple antagonists pre- and post-TimeSkip either serving him directly (Jack was sent by him to Zou and Orochi gained Power with his help), answering to him as they do business together (Caesar and Doflamingo via the SMILE fruits), allying with him to save their own skin (Drake, Hawkins, and Apoo), or in some way being personally affected by his actions (Moriah's zombie army is a direct consequence of Kaido killing his crew). By the end of Wano, alongside Big Mom, his defeat is what truly begins the final saga of the series, as it definitively kickstarts the DawnOfAnEra that will change the world forever.

* ''VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter'':
** The tenth chapter of the game has what players going in blind would presume to be the FinalBoss, [[spoiler:with Red defeating a transformed Bruno and working together with Elh to seal away [[MechanicalAbomination Lares]], fulfilling the goal the two established at the start of the game. However, following the game's credits is the start of the game's second half, thus solidifying the fight against Bruno as being this trope along with being a DiscOneFinalBoss]].
** Afterwards, we have [[spoiler:Red's fight against [[CainAndAbel Nero]] in the third chapter of Part Two, where Red not only comes to terms [[TomatoInTheMirror with his identity as a hybrid]], but also gains the upgraded Dahak [=Mk2=] to fight against Nero with]]. The cutscene following this fight also has [[spoiler:Nero cryptically mention that Red will be unable to resist the "Order" when it comes. Red's final fight against Nero and Blanck's combined mecha in Chapter 8 has this plot point reach its climax— after Red defeats Nero and Blanck, [[EldritchAbomination Tartaros]] gives Red the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy order]] to destroy all life, resulting in Red finishing off the duo and afterwards nearly choking Elh to death]].

This boss not only happens just before the children of the Taranis achieve their goal of finding their kidnapped families, but the cutscene before the fight reveals [[spoiler:that Hax plans to use the Tarascus to resurrect the Vanargand, and that [[MissionControl the Radio Woman]] guided him [[PlayingBothSides just as she was guiding the children]] for an unknown agenda]].

** ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel2'' has the boss of Chapter 3, when [[spoiler:the Tarascus finally catches up to the rogue Taranis]], with the events following the boss heralding the end of the game's first act. There's also Chapter 6, [[spoiler:the first fight against Jihl and the slightly upgraded Belenos]]. Not only does it cap off the first half of the game with [[spoiler:[[TheLeader Malt]] having finally gotten out of his HeroicBSOD]] prior to the fight, but it also heralds the point in the story where [[spoiler:Jihl starts to lose his free will and sanity to the Belenos' power, and his role as a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds starts to come more to the forefront. The cutscenes following the boss also indicate that [[SacrificialLion Hanna]] may still be alive in some form]]. Finally, there's the boss of Chapter 10, [[spoiler:where the true BigBad of the story reveals themselves and hijacks the Belenos, with the story afterwards having the children experience a [[FissionMailed scripted loss]] that Malt has to undo at the start of the next chapter]].
