Basic Trope: The work ends with both main sides of a conflict getting what they want.
- Straight: Emperor Evulz, the Big Bad out to Take Over the World, is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who wants to save his dying nation and bring about world peace. In the end, the heroes' efforts have brought about that peace, and Evulz agrees to a truce with their nation, creating a symbiotic bond that benefits both nations.
- Exaggerated: Every single innocent person Evulz killed is magically brought back to life and they all forgive him.
- Downplayed:
- Evulz is ultimately defeated and killed by the heroes, but his and the heroes' actions have still managed to bring about the well-intentioned goals he had in mind.
- A third faction that was Playing Both Sides is brought down by the alliance of the two factions and does not get to share in their happy ending.
- Justified: Evulz did not want to commit the evil actions he did in pursuit of his goals, but did so believing he had no choice. When the heroes manage to provide alternate, bloodless methods, he proves very open to negotiations.
- Inverted:
- Everyone gets a Downer Ending, hero and villain alike.
- "Everybody Dies" Ending
- Subverted: Evulz decides he isn't satisfied with the truce and attacks the heroes again.
- Double Subverted: Only to change his mind after being beaten yet again.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Either the good guys win or The Bad Guy Wins.
- Enforced: The series is meant for children, and Evulz is such a likeable Anti-Villain that the higher-ups feel it could potentially upset children to see Evulz get an unhappy ending, so they mandate the truce.
- Lampshaded: "Looks like everyone got what they wanted in the end. Now I kinda wish we didn’t waste a whole day fighting about this."
- Invoked: Evulz, realizing he is certainly going to lose the war, sets up a truce with the heroes so at least some part of his empire can survive and hopefully prosper with post-war aid.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: One of the heroes, who lost so much- including their loved ones, their Doomed Hometown, and their life- because of Evulz's actions points out how this truce will make Evulz into a Karma Houdini and refuses to accept it.
- Reconstructed: Evulz sees their point and offers up his life as atonement, offering to have one of his generals succeed him in his place.
Despite all their fighting, the main page and Playing With page agreed to a Win-Win Ending.
