Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

It was foretold that you would be here. Our long awaited meeting has come at last.
—Darth Vader to Ahsoka Tano
Cquote2

So, TV Tropes, We Meet At Last.

A standard phrase when the hero has encountered a villain whom they've never met before, but one of them has been looking forward to their meeting.

Either the villain or hero has been tracking the other in hoping to confront and eliminate the other as a threat to their plans. At times, one continuously eludes the other through luck or skill. When their quarry is finally tracked down and cornered, it is ever more satisfying when they get to meet after all the effort.

Or a person finally gets to meet someone they've been waiting to meet for a long time out of admiration.

See also We Meet Again for when the characters have met before or We Will Meet Again, which is used as goodbyes rather than as hellos. Compare Evil Gloating, Affably Evil.
