Basic Trope: A work ends with the main character(s) moving away.

  • Straight: The series finale of Tropecity! has the main characters Alice and Bob move out of Tropecity to a new city for a fresh start.
  • Exaggerated: Every character moves to a new city at the end of the series.
  • Downplayed: Alice and Bob move to a city next to Tropecity.
  • Justified:
    • After all they've been through, they want to restart their life in a new city.
    • The entire series has been about getting enough money to move out of the ramshackle building they had to live in.
  • Inverted: Alice and Bob move back to Tropecity at the end after being in another city for the whole season.
  • Subverted: Turns out they were just moving to a new area that is in Tropecity.
  • Double Subverted: But then they move to another city for real this time.
  • Parodied: Alice and Bob move to a new house that's next to their house, but the characters believe they are moving to a city far away.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Alice and Bob don't move out of Tropecity.
  • Enforced: The creators make the series end like this to show a new beginning for Alice and Bob.
  • Lampshaded: "Kind of sad we're moving to a new city after all we've been through."
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: The mayor of Tropecity, Charles decides to close Tropecity's airport and border so Alice and Bob won't move out.
  • Discussed: "Why would we move out of Tropecity? You think we're in a series?"
  • Conversed: "Well, I hope Alice and Bob get a spin-off series in the new city. It's sad to see Tropecity go."
  • Implied: While we never see Alice and Bob move away, we do see some luggage and some goodbye messages in Alice and Bob's house.
