History Main / SparingTheFinalMook

This is a scene you've probably seen a few times: the ActionHero has just [[MookHorrorShow single-handedly defeated an entire group of enemies]] while clearly outclassing them. After such an impressive display of violence, only one opponent is left. Either due to a sense of mercy or not wanting to over-exert himself before he gets to the BigBad, the Hero advises this final opponent to pretend the hero beat him up and spare himself the trip to a hospital. Seeing his dead and/or unconscious mates, the mook decides that it's the perfect time for a nap and has a lie-down among his fallen friends as the hero runs off to continue the plot.

In cases like these, they are usually done when the victor is either in a hurry, is a MartialPacifist who fights only when he has to, or is a PragmaticHero who sees no real benefit in finishing the fight.

If there is more than one mook to take the deal, expect the two of them to punch each other so that they have the bruises that prove that they actually tried since it is likely that their boss won't tolerate slackers and cowards.

-->'''[=MiB=]:''' I changed my mind. ''(He kills the mook.)''

* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'': Velasca intended to do this after she ranted at Artemis and destroyed her temple, having told a guard ahead of time that she would leave him alive to tell the story to others. When he tried to run away afterwards, however, she killed him in what might have been a startled response to unexpected movement.

* ''VideoGame/MetroidIIReturnOfSamus'': Played with. After killing all the Metroid she encountered in her way (including the Queen), Samus reaches the last corner of the nest and finds a Metroid that mistakes her for its mother. Samus spares it but, instead of simply letting it go, she lets it follow her, taking it to her gunship to later give it to the Galactic Federation so they research it peacefully (in ''VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns'', it even helps her during [[spoiler:the surprise boss fight against Proteus Ridley]]).

* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' skit that spoofs the famous [[TheOner Oner]] fight scene from [[Creator/TonyJaa Tony Jaa's]] ''[[Film/TomYumGoong The Protector]]'', the Chicken breaks free from his restraints and goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the MadScientist, fighting his way through just about every character who ever featured on the show. The guard in front of the final door is none other than the show's nerd character... who after a glare from the Chicken meekly steps aside and holds the door open. The Chicken allows him to live, unlike all the others the Chicken encountered, including some who didn't even attempt to fight the Chicken but were killed regardless.

* ''Series/{{Luke Cage|2016}}'': Cage breaks up an attempt by Cottonmouth's thugs to shake down Genghis Connie, effortlessly defeating three of them. When Cage asked the fourth goon "You want some?", he promptly flees.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': In ''Series/TheMandalorian'' episode "[[Recap/TheMandalorianS2E5Chapter13TheJedi The Jedi]]", when [[spoiler:Ahsoka Tano]] begins her assault on the town gate, a group of the Magistrate's soldiers attempt to stop her. During the fight with various guards, she disarms one, who stays out of the rest of the fight while she kills the others. When [[spoiler:Ahsoka]] finally notices the disarmed guard again, he holds his hands up, likely expecting her to attack, but instead she gives him a little "Go, on, get out of here" head flip. The guard wastes no time before fleeing.

SisterTrope to MustLetThemGetAway, where the good guy lets the BigBad run for their life instead. May overlap with SpareAMessenger, especially if the final mook is instructed to spread the word about what happened. Among characters who are more than nameless or faceless mooks, the ones likely to take this deal include PunchClockVillains and/or those OnlyInItForTheMoney (after all, their heart's not in this, so why get killed over it) a MinionWithAnFInEvil, and the TokenGoodTeammate. It's also a good idea to make this offer to anyone who is TrappedInVillainy or has been ForcedIntoEvil. Contrast with CruelMercy, where someone is spared because that would be worse for them.

* Subverted in the final episode from the first season of ''WebComic/OnePunchMan''. Saitama has gone on a rampage through the invading alien ship, wiping out much of the crew and defeating the leader, Boros. After the ship crashes, maybe half a dozen from what used to be a crew of hundreds survive. The other heroes initially intend to capture them alive, but [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Amai Mask]] steps up while everyone is talking and instantly slaughters the survivors, effortlessly reducing them to LudicrousGibs, to the shock of the other heroes. It establishes Amai Mask, who has mostly played a passive part in the series so far, as both more dangerous than the viewer had reason to expect as well as TheUnfettered and a KnightTemplar.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has a villain variation. In the Syrup Village arc, a flashback shows Captain Kuro slaughtering the crew of an attacking Marine ship, leaving only a severely injured marine alive. Kuro who at this point was planning to retire from piracy undisturbed, saw the SoleSurvivor as a perfect pawn for this scheme. He ordered his first mate Jango to hypnotize the marine into thinking he had captured Kuro and he send him off along a lookalike pirate hypnotized into thinking he was Kuro. The lookalike was executed sometime later, freeing Kuro from being a wanted man, and the marine promoted to captain.[[spoiler:At this point, the marine is revealed to be "Axe-Hand" Morgan, a previous antagonist and the first noteworthy marine appearing in the work]].

* ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'':
** Early in the film, Black Panther subjects a group of terrorists to a MookHorrorShow, then rushes towards the final mook, who just so happens to be a young teenage boy, with the intent to kill him like he's done to the rest of the terrorists. He is thankfully stopped when Nakia intervenes in time to point out the boy's young age and the all too real possibility that he was forced into working with the terrorists and is just as much a victim as the captives T'challa and Nakia are working to rescue.
** Ulysses Klaw subverts this during a museum raid. He and his men gun down all the museum staff in a room save one random security guard and Klaw says he can go. Klaw then shoots the guy in the back, explaining that he let the man make it out of the room only because it would look more like the whole heist was done by amateurs rather than professionals.

* ''Film/IronMan3'': During his escape from Aldrich Killian's mansion, Tony shoots several guards, but when the last one gets Tony in a standoff where they're both pointing guns at each other, the mook suddenly opts to stop fighting, dropping his gun without even negotiating to be sure Tony will accept his surrender. Tony lets him leave.
-->'''Last Guard:''' ''[suddenly stops pointing his gun at Tony and drops it to the ground while raising his hands in surrender]'' Honestly, I hate working here, they are ''so'' weird. ''[Tony waves goodbye to the guard, who immediately flees]''

* Subverted in the ''[[Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries Batman: Arkham]]'' series. When an informant or data handler is in a group of enemies, Batman can opt to save them for last. Instead of knocking them unconscious, Batman interrogates them, with the enemy usually under the belief that they will be spared for divulging information. However, Batman always ends the encounter by knocking the enemy out and leaving them with the rest of the fallen enemies.

* In the genocide run of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', in some encounters killing all other enemies will cause the final one to become frozen with fear, at which point you can spare them instantly, without the need for figuring out the right conditions to spare an enemy. Doing this will break the genocide run however, as in it you must [[LeaveNoSurvivors kill everyone]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2012}}'' episode "[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S4E23TokkaVsTheWorld Tokka vs. The World]]", General Griffin tries to kill Tokka in spite of Bishop's warnings. When Bishop tries averting a bloodbath, Griffin's soldiers try apprehending Bishop. After Bishop decimates most of the soldiers easily, the last soldier shoots his hands up in defeat. Bishop motions for him to go down and as though he'd been beaten like the rest of the mooks, and the man does just that.

* By the time The Bride kills every other member of the Crazy 88's in ''Film/KillBill Vol. 1'', she sees that the remaining mook is just a trembling boy. Instead of killing him, she slices his sword to pieces and then spanks him with the flat-end of her Hanzo-sword, telling him to go home to his mother.

* In ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}'', one of the criminals in the BigBad's gang is a wannabe crook who ran away from home because he refused to spend the rest of his days living as a poor farmer eating gruel. In the final fight, Sanjuro ([[BrickJoke who met him as he stormed away from home]]) pauses his killing spree when the goon [[IWantMyMommy screams for his mother]] and tells him that [[IronicEcho maybe it would be best to stick to eating gruel]] before letting him go.

* In the first episode of TheMusical television series ''Series/{{Galavant}}'', the title character is a [[LivingLegend legendary knight]] trying to save his kidnapped lover Madalena from the [[EvilOverlord evil King Richard]]. (Well, ''[[IneffectualSympatheticVillain supposedly]]'' [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain evil King Richard]].) As he rushes through Richard's castle to break up the wedding, Galavant effortlessly defeats multiple {{mooks}} standing before the castle's chapel, and then tells the final one to just fall instead of fighting him.

* The Website/ChannelAwesome anniversary special ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' has a rare villainous version. When BigBad Malachite shows up in the aftermath of the brawl between the critics and the foes they've been facing, those foes quickly attack Malachite instead, recognizing him as a bigger problem. (And indeed, the one they originally intended to guard against.) [[MagicKnight Malachite]] effortlessly beats two of the three {{Black Cloak}}s in melee combat, [[MegatonPunch launched an unresisting Jaffers into orbit with a punch]], then nonchalantly uses magical lightning to kill the Woods Witch and Cat. The last of the Cloaks seems to ready himself for a final, doomed effort to stop Malachite... then says ScrewThisImOuttaHere and runs away. Malachite, who has never before shown any signs of mercy and murdered plenty of innocent people simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, lets him live.

* Used in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek way in the ''WesternAnimation/NapoleonDynamite'' episode "Thundercone": After Napoleon uses a ''Matrix Reloaded''-styled pole move to take out most of the best Thundercone fighters ([[ItMakesSenseInContext he was using an experimental acme cream that makes him good at fighting]]), the last standing man begs him that [[IHaveAFamily he has a daughter.]] Napoleon responds with "Then go to her, and tell her who sparred your life this day".

* Subverted in ''ComicBook/HeavyLiquid'': the protagonist, S, is being pursed by two parties: a man in a black suit and a trio of costumed mooks. The suit eventually catches the three mooks and easily kills two of them. Then he says this to the remaining mook:

->'''Galavant:''' ''[Approaching a final guard after having defeated an entire corridor of them]'' I suggest you fall.
->'''Final Guard:''' ''[Faints on the spot]''
->'''Galavant:''' Thanks!

This trope is often PlayedForLaughs, especially if the mook in question does
a really unconvincing job of faking their injury or defeat. That said, it's not unheard of for it to be PlayedForDrama, especially if the hero later regrets leaving the mook alive, turning it into NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished.

This just leaves the Klingon Maltz (played by Creator/JohnLarroquette) aboard the ship. Trying to figure out the controls of the Bird-of-Prey, Kirk tells him, "Help us or die."

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' author Rich Burlew used to write about his own TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons experiences and campaigns on his site as a way of advising readers on ways to have the best possible experiences for players and authors who might want to write a campaign or fantasy story. He noted one occasion where a random mook got a series of such lucky dice rolls and the players such poor ones that eventually they decided to offer the mook, who had survived an improbably long time but was still overmatched and inevitably would eventually be beaten, a chance to simply walk away from the encounter. The mook agreed, and Burlew later brought the same character back in a different campaign, where said mook [[FromNobodyToNightmare had gone on to become a much bigger deal]] and was that campaign's BigBad.
