| 1 | It's "No Tardies Day" at Honnoji Academy where the students must make it to school before the starting bell or be expelled. Thing is however, the school has turned the city into an major obstacle course to add to the challenge. What's more, Ryuko finds herself without Senketsu, forcing her to rely on her strength to get Mako and her to school through the traps. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | !! Tropes |
| 4 | * ArtShift: The characters have far larger heads than usual in several shots. |
| 5 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Ryuko's shock, Ogure is able to wear Senketsu very easily and harness his power. Unfortunately for her, her blood is deemed "too salty", and is unable to move, allowing Ryuko to take him back. |
| 6 | * BreatherEpisode: Nothing story related, just a simple comedy episode |
| 7 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Ogure thinks she's gotten away from retribution after she reveals her true color only for Gamagoori to show up, reveal he heard her plan and promptly expel her. |
| 8 | * LimitedAnimation: More than the others, the animation in this episode is almost entirely still frames, looped animations, motion tweening or any combination thereof. With the only bits of actual animation mostly going to Ryuko. |
| 9 | * TheMole: Maiko Ogure who introduces herself as fellow no-star student but is really the Trap Committee leader of Honnouji Academy |
| 10 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Gamagoori was prepared to punish Ryuko for showing up with only her pajamas, but Mako gets him to confess he's not above being under-dressed (he confesses that he sleeps in the nude). He lets the "infraction" slide, if only to see how Ryuko can handle the run to the academy without Senketsu. |
| 11 | * PedalToTheMetalShot: By Ryuko while Ogure's driving, complete with her yelling "Punch it!", when the trio notice two [=RPGs=] coming right toward them. It succeeds in getting them to the academy, but shatters the bus into pieces upon landing. |
| 12 | * RaceAgainstTheClock: "No Tardies Day" is a rare event where all of the students undergo an insane obstacle course on their way to school. Anyone who shows up even a minute late will be instantly expelled, regardless of their existing record. |
| 13 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Gamagoori overhears Ogure plot to overthrow Satsuki. After she fails, he tells Ogure that he was aware of her plot and expels her. |
| 14 | * TheStarscream: Ogure turns out to have designs of taking over Honnouji Academy. |
| 15 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The trap committee really go above and beyond to make sure the no-stars don't make it to school before the deadline. |
| 16 | * VillainRespect: Gamagoori ends up giving Mako a bit of this for standing up to him, saying that he'll remember the No-Star's name. |
