Fridge Brilliance

  • In "Turtle Cannon Competition 2", First Squad wins the second challenge despite Second Squad scoring more points during the hot pepper balloon phase, with Apetruly's reasoning being that Lin Chung scored extra bonus points for knowing when to stop. While it might seem like an Ass Pull, it becomes clear once you realize that Lin Chung cared more about his friend than grabbing the gold award while Kowloon kept tossing the hot pepper balloons into Alpha Girl's face in order to score as many points as possible - acknowledging the fact it's stinging her horribly but going through with it anyway. In other words, the winner was based on not just how many points they got but how much they should care about their fellow teammates regardless of whether they win, an important asset when it comes to teamwork; Kowloon was willing to put one of his own teammates through pain for the sake of winning, showing he was putting victory above the well-being of another (he did care about Alpha Girl, but not enough to make winning less important to him), while Lin Chung willingly stopped as he couldn't bear to see his leader hurt over a competition. So long story short, the very last phase was actually a Secret Test of Character which Lin Chung passed and Kowloon failed, allowing First Squad to win despite Second Squad technically scoring more points. This becomes especially clear and important after "Turtle Cannon Competition 3", where Commander ApeTrully gets put in danger during a race; Second Squad chooses to go for the finish line instead of saving him (with First Squad doing the opposite), further showing how little they cared for another's well-being compared to winning and allowing First Squad to be the rightful victor.

Fridge Horror

  • In the Liger episode, the Yaksha that Mystique Sonia has is burned up and she cons a tank driver into saying he loves her three times so that he turns into a Yaksha, which she treats like it is the one she always had. Do the Yaksha all have the same mind?
    • It appears the curse requires their love to be real, as when another group of people fell victim to it, they reverted back to normal when her looks got screwed up, while her Yaksha loved her anyway. And that tank driver did actually admit to loving her.
  • In “Crocodile Castle”, Mighty Ray is revealed to be afraid of the dark. Nothing really that bad, just an interesting quirk, right? Well, later, in “The Eyes of Mighty Ray”, it’s revealed that Mighty Ray was rendered completely blind for some time. That would involve seeing nothing but darkness. This might mean that darkness isn’t just a fear trigger for him, it could be a trauma trigger.
  • The storyboard for "Pitched Battle of the Air Force 2" features a Deleted Scene where Lin Chung reacts to the Twelve-Eyed Striped Dumbat (or, more specifically, HighRoller as part of a massive fusion) swallowing his teammates whole. Lin Chung's shocked expression and the included dialogue in said scene offer only a glimpse of his unused reaction, and despite being mostly calm and collected, he can and has previously gotten scared and/or angry when worried about his teammates' wellbeing; going off of these elements and what little is known about the unused shot in the storyboard, how horrified would've Lin Chung been had the scene been finished?
  • In "Fox King and the Arachno Tanks", Bearstomp captures three fox pups but there's only two the next time they're seen. Is this a continuity error, or did something happen to the third pup? Wouldn't be too out of character for HighRoller to have killed it off-screen...
  • At the end of "Enter The Dragon", the Commander of Darkness decides to join Big Green, stating he'd do anything... and what he ends up doing is become a target for Porcupine King's quill-shooting stunt at the talent show. The kicker? ApeTrully implies that Porcupine King's aim is not perfect, and the episode ends just before the quills hit anything with the Commander of Darkness screaming in horror. He then doesn't show up for the remainder of the series nor is he mentioned ever again, implying that he died from the stunt.
  • ApeTrully is in fact, the Monkey King in disguise. But what if the other monkeys? Sure, other apes shown from baboons to gorillas to a mandrill, but no monkeys. Throughout the entire show, Commander ApeTrully is seemingly the only monkey around. He claims to wear his disguise for the sake of diplomacy but perhaps there’s another reason for wearing the mask…
  • The scenario that the humans are shown in the episode "Cat Castle" is one massive case of Fridge Horror. To go into detail, they've been forced into living underground by the Cat King and his fellow cats and do everything they can to avoid laughing because of how much the Cat King hates it, and even then, the cats know exactly where they live and are monitoring them in case they laugh, and while their punishment for it isn't too bad, it's still extremely nasty, as they throw chili powder firecrackers into the holes which induce extreme irritation to the eyes, which can be upsetting for any particularly squeamish viewers.

Fridge Logic

  • High Roller says all humans are enemies when he is human. So why do the animals listen to him?
    • Well, you see, they all have this weakness for sweets.
    • It's possible he told the animals something along the lines of "The other humans are evil and I defected from them because of that", labelling himself as the only "good" human and making himself seem like he wants to help the animals, also using candy to further cement himself as the "good guy". This is something that can happen; case in point, Rattle Diva actually does the same thing in "Pandaffe Castle" as she's initially part of Big Green but (temporarily) deserts the base to side with the pandas and giraffes because of being upstaged by Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia during her concert, straight up helping them attack First Squad and everything.
  • In the episode "The Ghost Ship", members of Big Green refer to the Octopus and the Stingray king as the Sea kings, while in "The Bronze Giant Part 2", the Shark king is with both the previously mentioned kings. There is also the fact that there were other sea based animals that were not summoned to be a part of this navy, so why would only the Stingray and Octopus King be affected?
    • Ghost Fish King might've specifically wanted Octopus and Stingray king.
  • At the end of "Revenge of the Commander of Darkness", Commander ApeTrully explains that the giant centipede chewed its way out of the trap it was captured in and followed the scent of its earwax so it could get the Commander of Darkness and exact its revenge. Except ApeTrully was never there to know about the centipede's involvement, let alone trapping; where did he get that information from?
    • The only possibility is that the roar it makes is not just a roar but its own language, which ApeTrully understands and chose to translate it for the Commander of Darkness.
