* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with Desnarak revealing he took out the other monarchs and he has also placed five more cocoon-bombs like the one back in #6. The final shot is of him capturing Gira.
* CurbStompBattle: Desnarak walks over the other four monarchs one-by-one like nothing. Kaguragi puts up more of a fight, but not even he can stand up to the Hades King's raw strength.

* DownerEnding: The rulers and their servants have been toppled, Desnarak has captured Gira and five cocoon-bombs are primed to wipe every kingdom off the map.

** The monarchs squabbling over who gets to ally with Gira allows Desnarak to pick them off one by one.

* NotAfraidToDie: Roughly Desnarak VIII's philosophy. Because the Bognaarok [[WeHaveReserves have no fear of death]], he sees them as flawless.

* PlotParallel: The rulers' backstabbing one another to take control of Gira (and by proxy King-Ohger) coincides with how their respective retainers treat each other throughout the entire affair. The backstabbing allows Desnarak to ambush and pick the rulers off while the servants one-upping each other prevents them from coming to a consensus, that indecision giving Desnarak time to overwhelm Rita and snatch Gira up at the last minute.

* ShootTheMedicFirst: Desnarak chooses to attack Himeno and Ishabana first.
* SpecialAesopVictim: The rulers are progressively picked off one-by-one by Desnarak throughout the course of the episode after their alliance devolves to backstabbing. Rita is saved for last; Morphonia discovering her superior's injured body (as well as the various servants battered) after Gira's speech on loyalty and offering support, demonstrating what everyone accomplished (IE: nothing) by going it alone instead of unifying and working together.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The rulers mass-backstabbing one another and conscripting their servants into securing Gira instead of establishing an alliance at what's ostensibly a crucial juncture isolates them from any sort of support when the Boggnarok launch a mass-invasion of their kingdoms, making them easy pickings for Desnarak.

** Himeno remarks how surprising she finds it that Gira's on-board with keeping out-of-sight. Not long after, Gira's next instinct is to abandon all logic and go after Racules again, to which Rita responds by knocking him flat.

* SpecialAesopVictim: The rulers are progressively picked off one-by-one by Desnarak throughout the course of the episode after their alliance devolves to backstabbing. Rita is saved for last, Morphonia discovering her superior's injured body after Gira's YouAreNotAlone speech; demonstrating what the rulers accomplished (IE: nothing) by not unifying.

* WrongAssumption: Once again, Gorōge attributes God Hopper's swift defeat of Gerojim to Racules himself, assuming the Shugod was under his control, all while proclaiming the latter's victory as he leads the villagers into celebrating, while Kogane and Boone mourn over Gira's apparent death.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed, but Rita is the only one who wants to keep Gira’s power out of other people’s hands for semi-altruistic reasons (that only Gokkan, the land of neutrality, should control such a power to prevent an imbalance).

** Gira calls out Morphonia for her apathy towards Rita, suggesting she ask Rita if she needs help. When the girl does finally go to check on her ruler, the monarch has been downed alongside everyone else.

* GunboatDiplomacy: Kaguragi hints that he's aware of Shugoddam having another Shugod; having discovered an EvilKnockoff of ''King-Ohger''. Racules tells him that if he thinks the rumor is true, to "adjust his attitude".

* GunboatDiplomacy: Kaguragi hints that he's aware of Shugoddam having another Shugod; having discovered the mural of Caucasus Kabuto Castle. Racules tells him that if he thinks the rumor is true, to "adjust his attitude".

** We see what Kaguragi was shocked by in the previous episode: a mural depicting what looks like Caucasus Kabuto Castle ''in robot form''.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The rulers mass-backstabbing one another and conscripting their servants into securing Gira instead of establishing an alliance at what's ostensibly a crucial juncture isolates them from any sort of support when the Boggnarok launch a mass-invasion of their kingdoms, making them easy pickings for Desnarak.

** When Gira disregards everyone's advice to stay put and announces a plan to ambush Racules, Rita ''loses it'' and knocks him out with a loud "DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!"

** Himeno remarks how surprising she finds it that Gira's on-board with keeping out-of-sight. Not long after, Gira's first instinct is to abandon all logic and go after Racules again, to which Rita responds by knocking him flat.

* PlotParallel: The rulers' backstabbing one another to take control of Gira (and by proxy King-Ohger) coincides with the orders each of their retainers received: To capture and hoard the man. The backstabbing allows Desnarak to ambush and pick the rulers off while the servants one-upping each other prevents them from coming to a consensus, that indecision giving Desnarak time to overwhelm Rita and snatch Gira up at the last minute.

* TemptingFate: Gira calls out Morphonia for her apathy towards Rita, suggesting she ask Rita if she needs help. When the girl does finally go to check on her ruler, the monarch has been downed alongside everyone else.

* DeathFakedForYou: Premise of the episode. The rulers kept Gira alive after his duel with Racules, which is why they're all trying to hide (and hoard) him.
