* WouldntHitAGirl: Double-Subverted. Sho'Nuff has his female mooks mockingly spar with Leroy to get a rise out of him. Leroy remains stoic until one of them makes a light contact with his face, at which point he drops into a fighting stance, ready to start hitting back. However, he stops himself and bows when he remembers that goading him into a fight was what Sho'Nuff wanted to do in the first place.
