* BigBrotherInstinct: Don and Raph enjoy the prospect of Mikey getting smacked around by Kluh, but when they see him actually get hit by Kluh’s weapon when he should’ve ported out and told the combat has become a DuelToTheDeath, they're ready to jump in to help.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Mikey has been neglecting his training because he won the Battle Nexus. When he is challenged by Kluh to a rematch, he begs his brothers and father for help who abandon him except for Leo. When Mikey is terrified he is going to lose, Leo expresses his faith in his little brother. Meanwhile, Don and Raph enjoy the prospect of Mikey getting smacked around by Kluh, but when they see him actually get hit by Kluh’s weapon when he should’ve ported out and told the combat has become a DuelToTheDeath, they're ready to jump in to help.

Added DiffLines:

* CheatersNeverProsper: Ammag tampers with the Battle Nexus' safety spells so that Kluh can flat-out kill Mikey instead of being teleported out after a finishing blow. But ironically, Michelangelo starts off the fight so poorly that Kluh would have probably won legitimately without the tampering. All the attempt the cheat does is ensure that Mikey stays in the arena long enough to recover and turn the tables on Kluh.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While it's not too shocking that Raph and Don are looking forward to Mikey having to put his money where his mouth is, it really sells the point about how bad he's gotten that Splinter decides he's on his own with training.
** Leo offering to help Mikey train is also this, as it comes in the middle of his KnightTemplar phase and serves as the first indicator that he's not as lost as he's been acting.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Kluh was never pleasant to begin with but was never outright villainous in previous appearances, being at worst an irascible guy with a temper but could also perform feats of heroism like join the rebellion Traximus was forming. In this episode, he outright schemes with his father to kill Michelangelo even though he had a fair shot of defeating Mikey honorably in a rematch per the rules.
