last man
Final one standing
Last man refers to the final person remaining in a sequence, competition, or group.
In cricket, the last man is the eleventh batsman—when he's out, the innings ends.
The phrase appears in elimination contexts: last man standing describes the sole survivor of a contest or conflict.
Philosophically, Nietzsche's "last man" represents humanity's final, mediocre state—comfortable but without ambition or greatness.
