History Recap / OKKOLetsBeHeroesS3E18LetsFightToTheEnd

* AdultFear:
** Continuing from the previous episode, Carol gets a lot of this with T.K.O. Her normally-kindhearted child has been essentially brainwashed into evil by another, even more evil figure who is also his parent, and none of her efforts to reach him get through. He eventually ends up pretty much ''killing'' her, her boyfriend, and all of their friends.
** Professor Venomous has a moment where Fink, who's pretty much his adopted child, [[TakingTheBullet takes a draining-shot]] meant for him. Even worse in that he/Shadowy are the reason for T.K.O.'s destructive rampage, meaning that Venomous essentially watches Fink die in front of him to save him from something that was his fault in the first place.

* GoOutWithASmile: The last thing Fink does before T.K.O. drains her is smile at her restored boss.

* LampshadeHanging: POW Card Levels have [[RandomPowerRanking variously been shown as quantifying raw power, overall ability, or fighting experience/accomplishment]], something that K.O. have strove for since the start of the series. Carla comments that T.K.O. destroying the servers that kept them doesn't really matter because the rankings made no sense in the first place.

* LampshadeHanging: POW Level has [[RandomPowerRanking variously been shown as quantifying raw power, overall ability, or fighting experience/accomplishment.]] Carla comments that T.K.O. destroying the servers that kept them doesn't really matter because the rankings made no sense in the first place.

** The way K.O. deals with T.K.O. (by accepting that he's a part of himself) is reminiscent of Shadows in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona''. K.O. even tells T.K.O. [[ArcWords "I'm you, and you're me!"]]

* ShoutOut: While showboating, T.K.O. does the infamous Wrestling/JohnCena "You Can't See Me" hand wave in front of his face.

* DisneyDeath: Just about everyone in this episode gets one except for Shadowy Figure (who's KilledOffForReal), courtesy of T.K.O. Dendy, Boxman, and the Boxmore bots are flung into Cool Sun, which destroys them all, and T.K.O. de-powers (and thus kills) everyone else in the Plaza. However, once K.O. is given his tournament wish from the President of the Universe, he wishes for everyone to live their best lives, which restores them all to life again.

* HopeSpot: When Rad and Enid go Turbo to fight T.K.O., they're at first doing much better than they were before, but he soon manages to overwhelm them anyway, then Shadowy Venomous activates the Lakewood Tree, and then their collars break and they're powered down from their Turbo forms. As awesome as it looked at first, in the end they didn't actually manage to accomplish anything at all by going Turbo.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: K.O. ''is'' indeed in there, and is trying to get out. However, ''none'' of his friends' and family's attempts to reach him manage to snap T.K.O. out of it. The one thing they do succeed in with this trope is making his drain-dome falter long enough to cause T.K.O. and Shadowy Venomous to have a falling out, leading to the former defeating the latter and killing Shadowy Figure for good. But then right after this, T.K.O. power-drains ''everyone'' there, and anyone else's attempts to stop him are futile. Only K.O. himself is able to get through to him, and calms him down just by accepting him, and acknowledging that they are both the "real" K.O.

* LampshadeHanging: POW Level has [[RandomPowerRanking variously been shown as quantifying raw power, overall ability, or fighting experience/accomplishment]]. Carla comments that T.K.O. destroying the servers that kept them doesn't really matter because the rankings made no sense in the first place.
* LateToTheTragedy: This happens when the President of the Universe appears to congratulate K.O. for winning the tournament, but didn't realize that his other personality T.K.O. had vanquished everyone in the planet leaving it desolated and making K.O. feel miserable. Fortunately, K.O. gains a wish from the president to make things better, not only restoring everyone, but allowing them to live their best life.

* NeverSayDie: What T.K.O. does to everyone on the planet is referred to as "de-powering" or "draining" by the characters, likely for censorship; however, considering that he says he's going to "de-power everyone so thoroughly, there won't be a speck of energy left", it's pretty obvious that he's outright killing them, which WordOfGod confirms.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Everyone that T.K.O. de-powers and drains of their energy at first just looks like they've had their color washed out, but then they completely disintegrate (mostly offscreen) afterwards, so rather than being surrounded by corpses after stopping his rampage, T.K.O.'s just all alone in the Plaza.

* SoundtrackDissonance : This happens when K.O. (who is trapped in his own subconsciousness) uses an old toy tape recorder to calm down T.K.O., which contains a song Carol sang to him when he was a toddler. This cheerful, upbeat song is playing in T.K.O.'s head as he is shown power-draining (i.e. pretty much killing) everyone in the Plaza.

* UndyingLoyalty: Fink to Professor Venomous (the ''real'' one, not Shadowy Venomous, whom she does not work for because she knows he's basically just Shadowy Figure). As T.K.O. is about to drain/kill him, she jumps in front of him as a human shield; even when Venomous tells her to run away and it's pretty obvious that she's not going to actually save him by doing so (it just means T.K.O. will drain her first), she still refuses to leave him, stating that she'll stand by his side to the very end.

** Shadowy Venomous has one when the entire crowd is cheering for K.O. and T.K.O.'s draining dome starts to falter. When the two of them argue about this, T.K.O. notes that he's the one who actually has the power and is doing the work, making Shadowy Venomous completely lose his temper and reveal that he was just using T.K.O. and plans to have the latter do his bidding once they accomplish his plans. This causes T.K.O. to [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim beat him out of Venomous]] and destroy him.

* YouWereTryingTooHard: One possible explanation to why Invisible God Aquarius [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]] during his fight with Dogmun. That or Dogmun somehow [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands Caused the explosion]].

* BossSubtitles: Turbo Rad and Enid get these; “Ultimate teens ([[ThisIsGonnaSuck This might not end well]])”

* EndOfTheWorldSpecial: After (T.)K.O. drains (and possibly kills) everyone else on Earth, he uses his wish for winning the tournament to restore everyone and give them their best life.

** Fink offers assistance to Rad and Enid to beat T.K.O. by giving them glorbs and glorb collars, though unfortunately, they still lose (and return back to normal) once T.K.O. begins drawing on the power of the glorb tree.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Shadowy Venomous used the Lakewood Tree to give T.K.O. the ability to drain the power and energy of everyone on the planet. However, when he pisses him off by revealing that he was just using him all along, T.K.O. punches him with his fist while still using this draining power, causing Shadowy Figure to be extracted from Venomous where T.K.O. can destroy him for good.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: K.O. ''is'' indeed in there, and is trying to get out. However, ''none'' of his friends' and family's attempts to reach him manage to snap T.K.O. out of it. The one thing they do succeed in with this trope is making his drain-dome falter long enough to cause T.K.O. and Shadowy Venomous to have a falling out, leading to the former defeating the latter and killing Shadowy Figure for good. But then right after this, T.K.O. power-drains ''everyone'' there, and anyone else's attempts to stop him are futile. Only K.O. himself is able to get through to T.K.O., and calms him down just by accepting him, and acknowledging that they are both the "real" K.O.

* NotQuiteTheRightThing: K.O. realizes that his treatment of T.K.O. has always been this. He saw T.K.O. as a chaotic monster that was forced upon him, and tried to contain that part of himself to prevent destruction and pain to others. Even after he accepted T.K.O. as a part of him and let him roam free in his mind, K.O. still ultimately viewed him as a dangerous entity at least somewhat separate from himself. It's only once he finally accepts that he and T.K.O. ''are'' both the "real" him (and just different facets of the same personality) that they're finally able to merge for good and achieve inner peace.

* SoProudOfYou: The President of the Universe towards K.O., noting that while some people just want to take the fun out of everything, K.O. wants everyone to live the most fun, happy lives they can, and in his eyes, this makes K.O. the best hero he's ever met.

** T.K.O. has one while draining everyone when K.O. plays the recording in his mind of Carol singing a song from their childhood. K.O. gets the chance to calm him down as a result.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: K.O. ''is'' indeed in there, and is trying to get out. However, ''none'' of his friends' and family's attempts to reach him work, and T.K.O. power-drains them all. Only K.O. himself is able to get through to T.K.O., and calms him down just by accepting him, and acknowledging that they are both the "real" K.O.

* AssPull: PlayedForLaughs during T.K.O.’s battle with Enid and Rad when Watkins was counting down for a RingOut when she gets to ten, she then [[AsideGlance looks at the screen]] and says “11” (the countdown continues until Rad and Enid re-enter at 38).

** Shadowy Figure is extracted from Venomous' body, reducing him to a mere dark blob, by T.K.O. and then squashed flat, permanently destroying him.

* SoundtrackDissonance : This happens when K.O. (who is trapped in his own subconsciousness) when he used an old toy tape recorder from when he was a toddler containing the song of his mom Carol to calm down T.K.O. when he is shown devouring everyone in the plaza.

** Shadowy Venomous has one when the entire crowd cheering for K.O. causes T.K.O.'s draining dome to falter. When the two of them argue about this, T.K.O. notes that he's the one between them who actually has the power and is doing the work, causing Shadowy Venomous to completely lose his temper and reveal that he was just using T.K.O. and plans to have the latter do his bidding once they accomplish his plans. This causes T.K.O. to [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim beat him out of Venomous]] and destroy him.

* KilledOffForReal: Shadowy Figure is extracted from Venomous' body, reducing him to a mere dark blob, by T.K.O. and then squashed flat. Also [[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E28NoMorePowCards Mr. Cardsley]] who somehow died (presumably killed by Shadowy Venomous and T.K.O.) prior to the episode, leaving his former assistant Carla to take over as CEO.

->'''President of the Universe''': How's it feel?
->'''K.O.''' (miserable and crying): Terrible!
->'''President of the Universe''' (understanding the situation): That's not very groovy.
