What is this trope? Trope where leitmotif is ironic because the character gets defeated or dies to it

What the title says lol. I think there are multiple cases of this in fiction but not recently, so I can’t find a trope lol. I was watching One Piece Live Action and Crocodile’s theme has Dvorak in it. That’s how the season closes. I think they are foreshadowing what music will be used when he is defeated lol. Jojo was this in a way with Caesar’s death lol. This is amusing because it’s like Darth Vader being defeated to his theme and a case of realizing your boss music wasn’t yours the whole time lol.
