Grand finale; happy ending; denouement in which all conflicts are resolved and all characters united harmoniously.

Literally 'great circle,' evoking the image of all narrative threads gathering into a complete, satisfying whole. Used in literature, drama, and film to describe an ending where loose ends are tied up and harmony is restored. It carries a somewhat theatrical or literary flavour. A 大団円 ending is typical of classical kabuki and jōruri puppet theatre.
