1	When KO realizes Pow Cards exclude Dendy for being a kappa, he’s at a loss of what to do.
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Mr. Cardsley is quite sure that kappas shouldn't have Pow Cards until K.O. asks him if he even ''knows'' any.
5	* ArtShift: When Dendy is telling story about her species, the art style shifts to watercolor style.
6	* CatFolk: Mr. Cardsley and his grandfather and founder of Pow Card Industries, Powio B. Cardsley.
7	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The backstory Dendy gives for Kappas (they lived in peace before settlers forced them into substandard living arrangements, and were discriminated against and painted in a negative light) sounds like what happened to Native Americans.
8	* EarnYourHappyEnding: K.O. and Dendy succeed in getting Pow Card Industries to make cards for Kappa, and Dendy gets a card of her own.
9	* FamilyBusiness: Pow Card Industries.
10	* FakeOutFadeOut: After K.O. and Dendy resolve to not throw away their Pow Cards, there's an IrisOut on K.O. But then he realizes that they still have to convince Pow Card Industries to recognize kappas.
11	* FantasticRacism: Kappa like Dendy are discriminated against and referred to as monsters, and are thus considered ineligible for Pow Cards.
12	* IdiosyncraticWipes: When K.O. and Dendy decide to figure out why Pow Cards exclude kappas, a symbol of K.O. and Dendy zooms in with Dendy wearing a deerstalker hat and looking through a magnify glass and K.O. wearing a bowler hat while looking at a butterfly. Obvious SherlockHomage.
13	* {{Kappa}}: Dendy, who for some reason looks more human-like than her parents.
14	* LivingStatue: The statue of [[OurFounder the Pow Card Industries founder]] is a robot that attacks K.O. and Dendy when they try to sneak into the main computer.
15	* MoralPragmatist: Mr. Cardsley is convinced to include kappa in the Pow Card system, at first on a trial basis, and then permanently... because it turns out to widen his customer base, making him more money.
16	* PooledFunds: After making so much money cause of the kappas, Mr. Cardsley swims in technos. As a background gag, Carla (smiling but motionless) ''sinks'' in the coins.
17	* ShoutOut:
18	** The ArtShift during Dendy's story about her species pays homage to ''Anime/MyNeighborsTheYamadas''.
19	** The FakeOutFadeOut is done in the style of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', complete with star-shaped IrisOut and the same sound.
20	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Of course Dendy and K.O. were caught after they fought with the LivingStatue and [[SoMuchForStealth made a heck of noise while doing so]].
21	* SwissCheeseSecurity: Dendy and K.O. eventually get caught in the Pow Card Industries headquarters, but not before they make it all the way into the mainframe.
22	* WartsAndAll: Dendy and K.O. almost destroy their Pow Card collections because their makers discriminate against kappa, but instead decide to live with this negative quality and try to make it better.
