- "The thing is if I win, you're just another punk."
Final Showdown is the final storyline mission in Bully, the final mission of Chapter V, and the final major boss fight in the game. It starts automatically after Complete Mayhem.
The Mission
Intro
Leading in from Complete Mayhem, Jimmy and Russell enter the main school building. Edgar has knocked out Bullies Trent, Ethan and Davis, the same three bullies who "welcomed" Jimmy to Bullworth. Jimmy tells Edgar to go outside and work on calming down the students. Just after Edgar leaves, the prefects Seth and Max tackle Jimmy and confiscate his entire weapon inventory. Russell becomes enraged and chases them off, at which point Gary begins to taunt Jimmy over the PA system.
Right then, Gary taunts Jimmy over the intercom saying "Your attention please: Jimmy is complete human trash." Gary leaves the principal's office to confront Jimmy directly, and they exchange insults. Gary then flees through the door that leads up to the under-construction bell tower and Jimmy gives chase.
Chase Gary
Jimmy's entire inventory of weapons and items has been taken away. He must chase Gary up the bell tower. It is still full of construction materials. Jimmy has to tightrope across planks spanning gaps in the scaffolding, and dodge wheelbarrows full of cinderblocks and other building materials that Gary tries to dump on Jimmy's head. Gary taunts him with a monologue the entire way.
Up on top of the tower, the bells are ringing, and they fall. Once Jimmy has made his way around them, he and Gary have a verbal showdown that ends with Gary insulting Jimmy's mother. Jimmy viciously tackles Gary off the edge of the roof, and they land on the scaffolding above the Principal's office.
If at any point Jimmy gets knocked out during this part, the mission will start over from the beginning of the chase.
If Jimmy manages to hit Gary with anything, it causes the mission to fail. This was done to prevent glitches if players used cheat codes to enable Jimmy's inventory. It is occasionally possible to hit him with a brick without cheating, but this still fails the mission.
Fight Gary
Despite being the final boss and the main antagonist of the game, Gary is not a tough fighter. He uses straight punches, a kick to the groin and a knee drop to the gut, but he's otherwise light and not immune to grapples. Jimmy can bowl him over with a shoulder barge.
At a few points during the fight, Gary will pin Jimmy against the edge of the scaffolding, taunting him. If Jimmy doesn't push him back, Gary spins him away from the edge and punches him in the stomach, then slams him through the scaffolding, breaking it. If Jimmy does push back, Gary falls backwards and breaks the scaffolding as he trips up.
When Gary's healthbar comes very close to being empty, they both fall into the Principal's office, through the skylight.
Epilogue
Dr. Crabblesnitch is found tied to his chair, but has heard the entire conversation between Gary and Jimmy. Finally willing to listen to Jimmy, he expels Gary on the spot and credits Jimmy for saving Bullworth Academy on his own. Jimmy retorts that he wasn't alone in restoring peace on campus, then confronts Dr. Crabblesnitch about his treatment of Zoe after Mr. Burton harassed her. Realizing what he had done back then, Dr. Crabblesnitch fires Burton and re-enrolls Zoe. Jimmy mentions that Pete had helped him, prompting Dr. Crabblesnitch to appoint Pete as Head Boy, while assuring Jimmy that he won't have to worry about the letter to his mother, as he never actually sent it.
As the game comes to a close, the scene fades with Jimmy walking out to the front steps of Bullworth with all the Clique leaders, Russell, Derby, Johnny, Earnest, Ted, and Edgar applauding him, as well as Pete, Mr. Galloway, Ms. Philips, Mandy, Eunice, Algie, and Edna. Zoe comes up and hugs Jimmy, and they both kiss as the credits roll.
