** Even using cheat codes making Bob invincible and powered up to the max, allowing him to utterly destroy Evulz doesn't change the post-cutscene setting of Bob waking up from being knocked unconscious, meaning Evulz somehow finds a way to knock out Bob despite being DeaderThanDead.
Added DiffLines:
** A ton of LevelGrinding allows you to completely destroy Evulz and bypass the cutscene of getting knocked out.
Added DiffLines:
** You ''still'' wake up from unconsciousness anyway after the fight, even though you supposedly destroyed Evulz. Apparently he got better and somehow knocked you out offscreen, or something.
Added DiffLines:
** Evulz ''literally'' says this with a coin but with inflection and emphasis on words that Bob doesn't catch that it's a rigged game of HeadsOrTails
** Alternately, Evulz calls HeadsOrTails normally but it's a double-headed coin, so Evulz always wins (doubling as a MortonsFork or HopelessBossFight at the same time).

Added DiffLines:
* '''Deconstructed''': The player knows this is going to happen so the player just skips the cutscene, not caring how Bob loses, and the player also just level grinds and nukes Evulz to get this over with.
* '''Reconstructed''': ''How'' Evulz beats Bob is actually an important plot point that the player needs to pay attention to, and a mechanic of different versions of this play out so the player isn't as bored, and also a bonus EasterEgg that can be unlocked if certain conditions are met to allow Bob to ''actually'' beat Evulz in the following cutscene. But other than a few dialog tree changes, the game afterwards largely stays the same.

If Bob loses to the first encounter with Emperor Evulz, he gets a GameOver just like when he loses to any other boss. When Bob succeeds in beating Emperor Evulz, a cutscene shows Bob getting knocked out by Evulz anyway.
* '''Exaggerated''':???
Every single boss Bob faces in the game is shown defeating him after he beats them.

Emperor Evulz does not hand Bob his ass after he is beaten, but he does [[VillainExitStageLeft make his getaway in the cutscene after the fight]] and he [[KickTheDog kicks the dog]] on his way just to spite Bob.

Emperor Evulz was only pretending to lose to Bob in order to get the hero to lower his guard and become an easy target.
* '''Inverted''':???
Emperor Evulz is a HopelessBossFight, but the cutscene after Bob loses to him shows Bob defeating him anyway.
* '''Subverted''':???
It looks like Emperor Evulz is going to pulverize Bob in the cutscene after his first boss fight, but Bob quickly counterattacks.
* '''Double Subverted''':???
Evulz avoids the counterattack and delivers a blow that knocks Bob out cold.
* '''Parodied''':???
Emperor Evulz is a total wimp in the boss fight, but Bob decides to take a dive in the cutscene following the battle because he actually feels sorry for how poor a fighter Evulz is.
* '''Zig Zagged''':???
In the different battles with Evulz, the outcome of the battle varies. Sometimes Evulz defeats Bob in the cutscene regardless of the outcome of his boss fight and sometimes he is in a HopelessBossFight. It is never certain when the final battle is going to happen or when Bob will finally win in defeating Emperor Evulz.
* '''Averted''':???
Every post-boss cutscene has Bob defeating the boss.
* '''Enforced''':???
"I'm getting a little bored with how passe boss fights are. Let's make it interesting by having Evulz defeat Bob even though the player beat the boss fight."
* '''Lampshaded''':???
"I'm the BigBad, Bob. Did you really expect me to be taken down the first time you face me in battle?"
* '''Invoked''':???
Emperor Evulz knows that Bob is a formidable fighter, so he pulls off an ISurrenderSuckers right after Bob kicks his ass.
* '''Exploited''':???
After knocking out Bob, Evulz also takes advantage of the GameplayAndStorySegregation brought on by the CutsceneIncompetence and [[TheHeroDies kills Bob]] so that [[TheBadGuyWins nobody is left to oppose him]].
* '''Defied''':???
Bob's allies take out Emperor Evulz before he can attack Bob in the post-boss cutscene.
* '''Discussed''':???
"Isn't it kind of annoying how sometimes when you defeat the boss, he trashes you anyway?"
