** Alice says she's powered up to 100%, so Emperor Evulz does the same. While the Emperor fights much better, Alice doesn't get any stronger. In truth, she was just making sure the Emperor was showing his final form before she powers up for real, knowing he is out of tricks.

** "Fool! I was only using 100% of my power! [[ArtisticLicensePhysics I will now use 9001% of my power and destroy you!"]]
** Evulz and Alice stop fighting and begin screaming bigger and bigger percentages at each other, quickly degenerating into "infinity plus one percent" and the like.

In truth, she was just making sure the Emperor was showing his final form before she powers up for real, knowing he is out of tricks -- but it still isn't enough, and Emperor Evulz wins... but this was not her final form.

* '''Discussed''': "Let me guess...you're holding back some of your power."
* '''Conversed''': "So she's not using her full power because the author needed the fight to fill an episode?"
* '''Deconstructed''': Deliberately handicapping herself means that Alice is killed by a lucky blow early in the fight, with no time to 'switch hands'.
* '''Reconstructed''': Alice lives... and fights on through her injury, tapping her own untouched reserves of strength to win the day.
* '''Played For Laughs''': The whole thing is a LensmanArmsRace in power increases - the fight goes on for hours with each side increasing their power sporadically.
* '''Played For Drama''': The heroes come very close to winning, battered and exhausted, only for Emperor Evulz to [[DiabolusExMachina reveal that he is not left handed.]] They lose. Badly.
