Examples of Press Start To Win
Samurai Jack - Aku [Downplayed]. In the pilot of Samurai Jack, Aku and Jack fight, eventually leading to Jack nearly ending Aku for good. But right before he can land the finishing blow, Aku creates a portal through time above Jack that he falls into and is sent spiraling through time into the distant future. In the second episode, it's revealed that Aku has taken over and is his evil is now law, much like what he says in the intro. This is Downplayed because Aku didn't necessarily Press Start To Win as he didn't immediately become capable of succeeding with his plan. It's only at the beginning of Jack's adventure centuries into the future when Aku has already "won".
