Act 1: A Rough Start
Part 1: Outsider
Fight 1: Fenny VS Roora
- The Brawler Lock between Fenny and Roora can be scary because both put a Game Face on and Fenny has the scariest one of the two, looking like a snarling feral animal.
- Fenny enduring a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Roora. The sheer pain on the artic vixen's face is palpable, especially since Roora uses low blows. This makes her victory all the sweeter.
- Roora giving Fenny a wedgie can count as this as Fenny looks humiliated as she's wounded by the move.
- Fenny's manager calling out the referee for not interfering when Roora pulls an illegal move by pulling on Fenny's tail and then being powerless from defending her Combagal.
- The scene can hit to those who participate in combat sports as fighters, managers, or trainers can watch the indignity of an opponent committing a foul and get away with it because the referee didn't notice.
Chapter 2: Get Ready
- During the scene where Muko quits her job, a robot maid mashes a customer in the head.
- It hits harder because a worker at the soapland tells Muko that the owner let Cookie stay there two years ago as favor, but Cookie stayed longer than expected. It makes one wonder how badly Cookie is doing if she's that desperate to stay there for so long.
- Muko hiring Cookie without reading the bad reviews she had. Likewise, Cookie hiring Muko despite her client having no training, no knowledge of Combagals, and entering the sport for perverted reasons. For Muko, it shows that she's putting her trust in someone unreliable. For Cookie, it shows how desperate she is to have someone hire her.
- Cookie greedily throwing herself at a coin and calling it a lucky sign after musing about not screwing up with Muko makes one wonder what did Cookie do to put her in such poverty and bad reputation in the furry fighting community and it makes one worry for Muko's safety with her involvement with her.
- Roora entering Pervert Revenge Mode when Muko breaks into the shower rooms to talk to her and Fenny. While Fenny answers Muko's question, Roora growls at Muko to Get Out! and gives her and the security guard who are staring at her naked body a Megaton Kick that sends them flying and crashing against a wall.
Chapter 3: Hard Working Dreamer
- Saniko, Muko's older sister, shows a bit of worry when she realizes that Muko quit her job at Cafe Carrots in the previous chapter to become a Combagal in a rushed decision. It gets worse because the chapter implies that their mother is dead so Saniko has to take care of Muko, who has been shown to be very immature.
- Muko's maid co-workers have a good reason to hold a grudge against her as Muko's perverted antics made her unpopular with them. Despite the comic's Animesque theme, the maids treat Muko's perverted antics with the same disgust as a male person doing it to them and take great delight getting revenge on Muko by trying to make her lose The Bet against them.
- The chapter introduces Harry, who will become Muko's first fan. Whey is he on this page? He was fired from his job after working there from years. His family left him. And he can't find another job with the current economy. The situation has him Driven to Suicide with him going to Cafe Carrots for one last meal. He even has an Imagine Spot of his suicide complete with an Art Shift fish being hanged by a rope! He doesn't go through it due to Muko showing him kindness in the worst day of his life.
- Kalita and her gang showing up to rob the cafe.
Chapter 4: The World Is Your Ring
- The chapter introduces Kalita and the Roda Kira Gang who run a Protection Racket by making it clear that they will take the money from Cafe Carrots or there will be problems.
- One of Kalita's men, an anteater, flirts with one of the maids by sticking out his long tongue at her. Even though Kalita puts a stop to it, the maid is left in tears.
- Cookie protecting the cash register with her body when Kalita's hyena henchman was going to break it with a bat. Since Cookie's squirrel body is so small, she was probably going to be hospitalized or killed by the blow.
- Cookie being on the verge of tears as she pleads not to have the money taken away from her. It makes one wonder how desperate is she to revive her career if she's willing to get hurt like that.
- Muko attempts one of her perverted antics with Kalita, mainly tripping and grabbing her breasts. Predictably, Kalita gives her a Megaton Punch that sends Muko flying and she lands on a table that breaks in half.
- Muko asking the maids for some compensation, mainly panties. While she's interrupted by Kalita and the scene is Played for Laughs , the fact that the maids were in tears show that they consider a perverted Muko a greater threat than the Roda Kira Gang.
Chapter 5: Roda Kira's Killer Star Kalita
- Kalita's underlings promote her by boasting about her being a One-Woman Army and how she's one of the three leaders of the Roda Kira Gang. Now compare that with Muko who decided to become a Combagal on a whim and is fighting Kalita mainly out of attraction for her? It's not a good match for Muko.
- Knowing that there are two other leaders in the Roda Kira Gang committing crimes that are as bad or worse than Kalita.
- Muko's fight with Kalita is a Hopeless Boss Fight as Kalita gives her a Curb-Stomp Battle that borders on No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that leaves her unconscious.
- Muko letting her pervert side get the best of her as she's more focused on opening Kalita's zipper than fighting her, causing Kalita to enter an Unstoppable Rage and making the beating worse.
- Muko revealing that she has a Weaksauce Weakness in the sense that she gets limp limbs the longer she gets exposed to hot women. Which happens as she's fighting Kalita.
- Muko having this weakness is a nightmare for Cookie as most of her future rivals are probably as attractive as Kalita and they will be stronger than her, meaning that Muko will get worse beatings in the ring if she does not control her lust.
- Kalita decides to not take the money because she developed a Villain Respect for Muko after she stood up for her despite the odds? Her underlings ask her what will Gantus think? It is implied that he's her boss? Considering what Kalita did to Muko and how she destroyed the cafe, knowing there's someone stronger than her is a bit scary, especially since Kalita is defying them.
- Cookie being forced to pay the money of The Bet since Muko's attempts to protect Cafe Carrots destroyed the place. Furthermore, it's implied that the damages are more than the 2,000 Moni Cookie won and is forced to return so she's in greater debt than before.
Chapter 6: The Smiling Nighthawk
- Nyarai is sexually assaulted by a hippo customer. Fortunately, she is capable of defending herself and she does as soon as her manager gives her permission.
- The way Nyarai disposes of the hippo once she's given permission. She flashes a Cheshire Cat Grin and throws a swift kick, the next page shows the hippo's deformed face as he is literally kicked out of the nightclub and forced to apologize to Nyarai.
- The hippo's face after getting kicked. His eyes are bulging out, his cheek is swelling from where he was kicked, and his facial body fluids (blood, sweat, tears, and saliva) are blown away from the impact.
- The way Nyarai disposes of the hippo once she's given permission. She flashes a Cheshire Cat Grin and throws a swift kick, the next page shows the hippo's deformed face as he is literally kicked out of the nightclub and forced to apologize to Nyarai.
- Earlier, the hippo customer asked Nyarai if she was a Wild and then proceeded to make insulting questions and comments about her intelligence. Nyarai is forced to control her anger until the hippo goes too far by trying to grope her.
- The fact that racism exists and that it's so bad they make stereotypes out of the victims. It is implied from Nyarai's subdued anger that she had to deal with this all of her life and yet it still hurts.
- Shun being revealed as the manager of the Cyclone Crushers, including Nyarai. And that he has a plan to make her a star, but they will need Cookie to do so.
- The fact that Nyarai has a manager despite already being Cookie's client is a sad thing because the first five chapters presented Muko and Cookie and how they form their Combagal manager bond. Knowing that Nyarai plans to succeed by using Cookie as stepping stone can leave someone feeling very worried for her after seeing how much she grew to care about Muko in a single day.
Part 2: Cheater
Chapter 7: The Good and The Bad
- Cookie What the Hell, Hero? speech to Muko, specifically the part of the painkillers, mainly due to Truth in Television part about painkiller addiction destroying the body of athletes by turning them into drug addicts.
- The flashback scene between Cookie and Nyarai, mainly because it shows their client and manager relationship. Unlike Muko, who is an amateur who respects Cookie, Nyarai is an arrogant professional who looks down on her.
- Cookie is so poor that she has to ask Nyarai, her client, for money. Nyarai refuses on the ground that it's her money and that Cookie has to find her a suitable partner.
- Nyarai's is openly disrespectful of Cookie, insulting her living and working conditions, and even kicking a dent in a locker door near Cookie's head just because the squirrel asked her to respect her as a manager.
- Cookie, fed up with Nyarai's disrespect, points out that Nyarai needs her as much as Cookie needs her, pointing out that not many agencies accept Wild Combagals regardless of their talents. Unfortunately, Nyarai believes that Cookie pulled a "Wild Card" on her, stomping the squirrel to the ground and giving her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and a threat to quit her agency and fight any fighter Cookie represents if her demands are not met.
Chapter 8: Crossed Wires
- Harry revealing that there is an article in the Internet about Muko, more specifically about her fight with Kalita at Cafe Carrots, but it's only filled with mean comments. Mellow's reaction is one of horror upon finding out what happened to his friend/crush and the ramifications of the event.
- Mellow's horror upon finding out that Muko's manager is Cookie. He tries to warn her something about her but Muko hangs up on him. It makes the reader wonder what did Cookie do to be that hated.
- Muko and Saniko's argument at the end of the chapter.
- Saniko enters the room and finds her younger sister with her face covered in bandages. It's her first time seeing Muko since her fight with Kalita so her shock and horror is genuine.
- Saniko believes that furry fighting is just a phase. She recalls a moment where Muko entered competitive eating and lost. Muko entered into a mild depression and locked herself into her room, binge eating until she turned into a fat blob. Saniko was forced to take care of Muko until she returned to normal.
- This makes a comment in chapter 3 Harsher in Hindsight involving guerilla neighboring gardening. If what Saniko is saying is true then Muko is Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life rather than following her perverted desires.
- Saniko's outburst as she breaks a base and calls out Muko for going out pursuing random hobbies while she's busy overworking to sustain both of them.
- Muko telling Saniko that she's not their mother with a very uncharacteristic coldness.
Chapter 9: Are You Even A Woman?
- The fact that Skully, one of the Cyclone Crushers working for Shun Gonfano, was one of Cookie's clients. Since she works for Shun, who has some sort of evil plan involving Cookie, one has to wonder what did Cookie do for Skully to serve a man who's willing to sabotage her former manager.
- A flashback scene shows that two workers at Monyan were about to be raped until Skully saves them. While the rapists didn't do anything due to Skully stopping them on time, the terror in their faces is still evident.
- Muko shows a bit of Body Horror by undergoing Lustful Melt when she goes to a strip club. A waitress who finds her melted body actually runs away screaming.
Chapter 10: Shady Business
- Cookie convinces Dinedon to let Team Deliverance win the Masato championship by bribing him. Bribing someone to win at sports is a serious offense that can break your career. Cookie is not only at risk of staining her reputation further but she's also endangering the reputations of Muko and Nyarai with her gamble.
- Cookie revealing that she got the loan money from a Loan Shark complete with Imagine Spot of her being eaten by a shark. If she does not succeed with her comeback, her life is as good as forfeit,
- Dinedon mentions that even if Team Deliverance wins the Masato Championship, it won't erase Cookie's mistakes from two years ago. He then goes on to mention Trilamity Day, which puts everyone in a somber mood.
- The fact that even Nyarai, who was acting smugly in the background, frowns a bit, shows how badly that day was in the history of furry fighting.
- Cookie reading the article of Muko on Nyarai's phone. It's filled with libel that insults both Muko and Cookie as it details how poorly Muko performed against Kalita.
- The next page has Nyarai giving Cookie an expression that borders on Cheshire Cat Grin and Slasher Smile as if she were a predator moments away from eating her prey. She looks like she's planning on hurting Cookie the moment she's alone with her.
Chapter 11: Ding! Ding! Debut!
- The chapter begins with Rinko, a rabbit Combagal defeating her opponent with a moonsault. As she celebrates her victory, her opponent is crying in the background. A reminder that not everyone who enters into a sport will win regardless of how hard they try.
- Tanka Talon giving a Curb-Stomp Battle to Snuggly that leaves her crying in tears. For a scarier note, she's an underling of Scalitor, the biggest Heel of the series.
- Muko being nervous rather than excited when she comes out the smoke and prepares to enter the ring. It's a strong contrast to her usual self. She only calms down when she notices Mellow and Harry at the audience when she calms down
- During a brief moment, Muko notices some fans with signs that have hateful messages written about Cookie. She doesn't get to read them because she's busy seeing Mellow and Harry. That being said, it shows how Hated by All Cookie is by this point of the story.
Chapter 12: Selling
- Muko's sheer terror facing Adelgund. While it's Played for Laughs most of the time, she's getting treated around like a rag doll by a large wrestler with a crush on her so Muko spends most of her debut match scared out of her mind.
- Muko's terror when fighting Adelgund is Played for Laughs until you realize that she's getting manhandled by someone twice her size and weight who flirts with her and then gives her a "Take That!" Kiss as well.
- Muko asking Nyarai to tag in so that Muko can get away from Adelgund. Nyarai turns her back on her and even snores as Adelgund keeps playing with Muko.
Chapter 13: Judging
- Shun Gonfano arrives to the match and shows a recording of Cookie bribing Dinedon. This worsens Cookie's reputation as she gets angry and judgmental looks from the entire audience.
- Shun bringing the Cyclone Crushers as his bodyguards. This shocks Cookie who calls them her girls. While Chapter 9 had Tasha refer to Skully as one of Cookie's Combagals, the realization that ALL of Cookie's Combagals are part of the Cyclone Crushers is disheartening.
- Cookie acknowledging Shun as an old enemy and him going all the way to humiliate her cements him as her Arch-Enemy by this chapter, which means that Cookie will have to face all of her previous Combagals in the future regardless of the outcome.
- Nyarai confirming her loyalty to Shun by betraying Team Deliverance. She then convinces Peki to join her by pointing out how Shun is the only one who gives Wilds a chance.
Chapter 14: Unfolding
- Muko snapping from her lust trance and realizing that Nyarai is her enemy. She tries to call Nyarai her friend, only for Nyarai to pounce on the bunny and slam her head on the ground.
- Nyarai being a Hopeless Boss Fight just like Kalita but up to eleven as she tortures Muko physically and emotionally while Kalita only focused on knocking Muko out. This time around Muko is clearly suffering as she is so hurt by the betrayal that she cannot be aroused so she is forced to take it as the serious matter that it truly is.
- Muko asks Nyarai why she betrayed them in tears, only for Nyarai to insult her for believing in Cookie, telling her that the squirrel is a "dream killer" and insulting her for believing in Cookie.
- A moment happens initially when Nyarai was starting to beat up Muko. Realizing that Muko could not take the initial assault, Cookie had Muko grab the ropes so that Nyarai would be rule-bound to let her go. Unfortunately, as soon as the fight resumes, the cheetah just crosses the distance and punches Muko in the gut when she speaks about Cookie's dream.
- Nyarai slamming Muko's head on the floor hard and so many times until she bleeds, causing Muko to cry and call for her mom.
- Cookie trying to reason with Nyarai, at which point Nyarai gladly points out she was The Mole who spied on her and she even recorded the meeting to incriminate Cookie. The poor squirrel is left in tears by the revelation.
- Something about Nyarai's bragging is that she's gladly doing so while torturing Muko. Such as doing a suplex or putting her on submission holds. At one point she even gives her a slap to the breasts without even paying attention to Muko so that she can brag to Cookie. It's a scary display of the gap between the two fighters.
- Another bit of psychological horror. But Nyarai points out that Cookie could have prevented the tragedy happening tonight. She points out that she worked at Club Diamond when in reality she worked at Club Nighthawk. Cookie could have stopped Muko from being assaulted by Nyarai and the horrors that would take place in the next chapters had she actually done research on her client.
- Why is Nyarai so loyal to Shun? He did a favor to her involving a piece of her past and that got her Undying Loyalty to him. It shows that Nyarai has a Dark and Troubled Past if she resorted to Shun Gonfano, which Cookie points out is akin to a Deal with the Devil just to get out of trouble.
- Why did Nyarai join Cookie just to betray her? Well, she did it out of Revenge for the "life she took". This causes Cookie to think of Freydar with a haunted look on her face.
- Nyarai choking Muko with her legs as she mentions Freydar makes one think that she plans on breaking Muko's neck with them considering how strong Nyarai's legs are.
- Nyarai's betrayal becomes a scarier thought when you recall that she threatened to leave Cookie's agency unless she found her a worthy partner. However, it's clear that Nyarai was clearly intending to betray Cookie regardless of whether she fulfilled her promise or not.
- Cookie calling out the referee for not stopping Nyarai from brutalizing Muko. The referee yells at her in response. Cookie realizes that Shun bribed him. It's a horrible thought knowing your Arch-Enemy is willing to go that far to hurt you, especially when Nyarai could probably end the fight when she wanted.
- Besides Harry and Mellow, Shira went to Muko's debut and she cries at the brutality.
- Cookie having a breakdown as with Muko's defeat and Nyarai's betrayal, she's ruined. She's only conforted when Adelgund tags in and decides to fight Nyarai on her own.
Chapter 15: Cracking
- Adelgund takes out Nyarai with a knee to the face. Nyarai gets a broken nose and she is forced to stumble out of the ring, tagging Peki in before passing out from blood loss.
- Dinedon shows signs of being a Bad Boss by forcing Peki to take a Face–Heel Turn on account of Fantastic Racism making people wary of Wilds and he is wary of Peki being a Wild herself would drive customers away. So he wants Adelgund to defeat her as a Heel to make the audience feel safe despite her protests.
- Adelgund, who is implied to be Peki's lover as well as her Combagal partner shows signs of being an abusive romantic partner.
- She takes the decision of making Peki do the Face–Heel Turn against her protests.
- An angry Peki is forced to face Adelgund to lose against her while the crowd jeers at her for "proving Wilds are the same" and other stereotypes.
- Adelgund dismissing Peki's injuries from a match, telling her to suck it.
- It's a clear example of All Take and No Give as Peki listened to Adelgund's insecurities and gave her advice while Adelgund didn't even help her or bother to listen to her concerns.
- She takes the decision of making Peki do the Face–Heel Turn against her protests.
Chapter 16: Breaking
- Peki reveals the last straw. She caught Adelgund being pleasured by the stripper, which she then made into the latest member of the Exe-Cutie-Ves. She then asks her if that is what it takes to become one of her personal assistants.
- Adelgund attempts to defend herself by pointing out that the stripper came onto her, which infuriates Peki as she angrily recalls Adelgund enjoying herself and then gives her a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown fueled by years of betrayal.
- Adelgund crossing the Moral Event Horizon by breaking Peki's arm, becoming a Broken Pedestal to the audience and reaching a Hated by All status with her actions.
- Adelgund attacking the referee when he attempts to reprimand her for breaking Peki's leg.
- When Nyarai wakes up and asks Peki to tag her in, Adelgund steps on Peki's leg, pointing out that she's not a team player with tears in her eyes. It's clear that, while inexcusable, Adelgund is acting more out of broken heart and no longer cares about the match.
- Peki crawling all the way from the center of the mat to the corner, finally tagging Nyarai in as she endures the assault of her former partner and lover.
Chapter 17: Unleashing
- Peki being taken to the hospital, screaming all the time as she has a broken arm and two broken legs.
- Adelgund tanking a kick from Nyarai and then grabs her by the earrings to give her a knee to the face, elbows her to the mat, and performs a Spine Breaker hold, threatening to break the cheetah's spine if she doesn't give up.
- Nyarai's facial expressions despite her dilemma, changing from playful, to crying, to bored in a matter of panels as she challenges Adelgund to break her spine.
- Nyarai snapping her own spine to the horror of everybody present.
- Adelgund has a My God, What Have I Done? moment the second she thinks she crippled or killed Nyarai.
- Jowdie and a few of the Cyclone Crushers cry in horror when they think their friend just got her spine snapped.
- Nyarai reveals that she is fine due to being a Contortionist with Abnormal Limb Rotation Range as she sets her spine straight, twists herself vertically like a pretzel, and then contorts her arms and legs around her head just to prove that submission holds are useless against her.
- For anybody who knows about wrestling, submission holds are a big part of a wrestler's arsenal. Nyarai's ability is a Game-Breaker since she's immune to holds but she's free to use them.
- Nyarai licking her foot as she brags about being indestrutible. It looks like Furry Reminder at first but then Shun confirms that Nyarai's legs are her strongest weapon and that the style she used in the previous chapters was was a weaker one.
- Leg-Jet Burst. All of it.
- First of all, Nyara reveals that she has either a Signature Move or a Finishing Move that has her surrounded by a fiery Battle Aura as she unveils faster and stronger kicks.
- Her first kick. It's so fast, it disappears. And then her foot reappears close to Adelgund's terrified face. Once it connects, there is a brief flash of fire that comes from Nyarai's foot and a small explosion on Adel's face as she is pushed away from the impact of the kick.
- The way Nyarai is drawn. She is a bit Off-Model as if she looks more like a demon than a feline. It reflects her sadism and the hellish nature of her technique.
- The following kicks after the first one. Knowing that it's impossible to dodge Nyarai's kicks, Adelgund guards with her arms, but that's what Nyarai wants. So she delivers dozens of kicks to Adelgund's arms, burning the sleeves of her arms, then the arms themselves to the point of leaving them paralyzed.
- How are the kicks described? They are like firecrackers! You can't see Nyarai's legs and feet fly because of how fast her kicks move, but, just like a firecracker, you know it's a bad idea to let yourself get hit by one.
- Nyarai warming up for her finishing blow. At one point steam is coming out of her body, at another she looks like she's contorting her body into something bigger, and when she's preparing to attack, Nyarai's face is distorted by an Art Shift to reflect her bloodlust.
- The last two pages of the chapter. Nyarai jumps on the air with one leg folded and charged with energy ready to deliver the finishing blow to Adelgund, who cannot block or defend. Then, Nyarai has a demonic face as the energy is released and she is propelled foot-first into Adelgund's face, finishing her off with an explosive kick that breaks her jaw.
- Adelgund's face after taking the full force of Nyarai's kick reminds everyone of the hippo of Chapter 6. They both had the same expression when Nyarai kicked them in the face, but the hippo had the good fortune of Nyarai holding back on him either out of professional obligation or because he wasn't worth it. In Adelgund's case, since Nyarai is in the ring, is facing a champion, and she lost the faith of the fans, she pretty much has permission to go all out and she does so by breaking Adelgund's jaw and knocking her out.
Chapter 18: Falling
- The first page is Adelgund's unconscious body being sent flying into the air and then lifelessly falling into the mat while Nyarai gracefully lands on her feet. Then, Nyarai's foot stomps on her face, which further injures Adel's jaw... so that the cheetah can pose for her victory.
- Nyarai being crowned champion means that anybody who wants to get the belt will have to fight her. Considering Adelgund was undefeated and yet she still held back, what does that say about Nyarai, who is stronger but prefers to go all out on others?
- The Exe-Cutie-Ves crying over the defeated body of Adelgund, who's in critical condition with white eyes and a broken jaw.
- It is revealed that there was someone else besides Nyarai who betrayed Cookie by leaking information to Shun Gonfano. That someone was Dinedon, who gave the information as soon as Shun gave him a bigger pay than Cookie did.
- Just how much of a Bad Boss Dinedon is. Despite everything Adelgund and Peki did, Adelgund especially, he did not hesitate to put them in a match where they will lose just so that he could get the money for himself.
- Muko keeping the collar Adelgund gave her when they became partners as a Tragic Keepsake and looking at it, clearly traumatized by her own powerlessness at being unable to save her from Nyarai.
- Cookie talking about Freydar with Muko. While she didn't kill her, Cookie overworked her, leading to a Career-Ending Injury involving painkillers that will make her blind if she fights again.
- As Cookie talks about Freydar, some Cyclone Crushers appear on the background, all of them sporting a Death Glare as if blaming Cookie for what she did to Freydar.
- Muko's trauma is so great that she gives this Wham Line that shocks Cookie to the core.
- Muko:"I quit"
- Cookie reaching the Despair Event Horizon that is illustrated as her sinking into the ocean.
Chapter 19: Despite Everything
- The chapter begins with a brief Time Skip as Cookie still is stuck in the Despair Event Horizon three days after Nyarai's betrayal and Muko quitting. She only snaps out of it when Saniko visits.
- Saniko revealing that Muko is suffering a Heroic BSoD and that she hasn't got out of her room for days, so she wants Cookie to talk to her as she's her last resort.
- Cookie initially refusing to talk to Muko out of guilt and only doing so when Saniko threatens to call the cops on her for having Muko fight Kalita and then Nyarai despite her lack of experience.
- Cookie sharing her story of her first time hitting the Despair Event Horizon two years before the series began.
- As it turns out, Shun didn't steal the Cyclone Crushers and they didn't left Cookie. She sold them out. Cookie assumed they were going to leave her since they were mad at her for what happened to Freydar so she sold them out.
- Cookie not getting any job despite all the money she had. She resorted to Drowning My Sorrows so much that she briefly became The Alcoholic to the point of ripping out her hair and parts of her eyebrows.
- A drunk Cookie entering Club Nighthawk and making a fool of herself in front of Shun and her former Combagals, who reproach her, now seeing her as a Broken Pedestal for selling them out.
- While Muko deciding to become a Combagal is good news, her making Nyarai her first rival is a scary thought as Nyarai is a champion and above pro-level according to Cookie. And that's not taking into account all the enemies that Muko may face once Muko succeeds on her goal.
- Cookie acknowledging that not only will Muko make an enemy of Shun Gonfano, who is a Villain with Good Publicity to furry fighting but she will be hated for being associated with Cookie.
- Kalita returning and revealing she's a Loan Shark who's collecting the 20,000 Moni Cookie loaned a few chapters ago. While the volume has a Bittersweet Ending for Muko and Cookie, it's clear the two of them have lots of bad luck coming their way in the future.
- A scary part about Kalita's return is that she has a bat this time and she intends to use it.
Part 3: Bully
Chapter 20: Killer Overture
- The character sheets show the character motivations, more specifically those who will appear on Part 3 and play an important role on it. What are the motivations of Nyarai, Shun, and the Cyclone Crushers? Cookie's resignation.
- There's something scary that, despite being one of the most powerful agencies in the setting, these characters are so death set in destroying Cookie despite the fact that she all but destroyed her reputation and despite all of the horrible stuff they did to her in Part 2.
- Snuggly returns and has A Day in the Limelight but her opponent is Sleepy, who was her former singing partner in the Doable Dolls.
- Sleepy becoming a Combagal to fight Snuggly for breaking up The Doable Dolls shows how much of a grudge Sleepy has against her former idol for breaking their partnership to pursue furry fighting.
- Sleepy exploiting Snuggly's love of bones to land the first blow is not just pragmatism, is also a bit treacherous when she knows how Snuggly would react because they were friends.
- Watching Sleepy and Snuggly fight brutally and learning that they fought for 20 minutes can be disheartening as it can remind how friendships can fall apart once people drift in interests.
- Knowing that Snuggly is not even one of the strongest Combagals when compared to the likes of Tanka Talon, Peki, Adelgund, and Nyarai, and yet she's still capable of fighting 20 minutes makes one worry for Muko as she's clearly not on that level yet.
Chapter 21: The Streak
- As it turns out Cookie still has one week to pay off her debt. However, Kalita shows Cookie a loan paper with Cookie's forged signature, meaning she has to pay right now.
- Why is Cookie called Misfortune Cookie? Because she resorted to gambling to pay off her debts but she's been on a two-year long losing streak. Not only that, everybody who works with her is affected by her bad luck so Cookie is treated as The Jinx by everybody.
- Kalita threatens Cookie with a bat.
- Muko facing Kalita again. Despite taking the fight seriously this time, Muko still ends up losing, being sent flying into a bathtub and then melting at the sight of two beautiful ladies.
- Handsome Zebra Guy recalling Saniko and Kalita, each of them sporting a Death Glare when asking for Cookie's whereabouts.
Chapter 22: The Grit
- Finding out that Muko melted can be a bit troubling when one remembers she did so when Kalita was planning on bludgeoning her with a bat, choke her with it, or drown her in a bathtub. If Muko can't control her hormones, how will she survive in a match, much less a real fight where there are no rules?
- Muko acknowledging her Fatal Flaw and how it will hamper her dream of being a Combagal, with her looking close to giving up again is very similar to someone realizing that they have an addiction.
- It shows how bad Muko's problem is when Kalita only needs to flash her breasts at Muko to deal a One-Hit Kill to her.
- Muko is implied to have some sort of PTSD as she's shown to bear grudges against those who wronged or she thinks wronged her. It's kind of scary knowing that Muko can be The Resenter despite her bubbly personality.
- There's a flashback that shows a naked woman that could be Muko's first love. However, next to her, the following panel is pure static. What could be so horrible that Muko would want to repress a memory, especially when she's willing to remember Nyarai and Kalita despite both of them beating her up to the point of bleeding.
Chapter 23: The Rumbling
- Kalita gives Muko an Elemental Punch One-Hit Kill that's way more scarier than it sounds.
- Muko imagines herself on a field and gets struck with lightning, complete with an X-Ray of her body. Then Kalita's fist slightly dislocates her jaw. Finally, Muko is flung headfirst into the wall, breaking the tiles and falling unconscious.
- Kalita reveals that she quit the Roda Kira Gang for doing shakedowns. Considering that in Chapter 5 she was willing to fight a superior named Gantus for not getting the money at Cafe Carrots, one has to wonder what happened after she returned.
- Cookie reveals the identities of the Tendonchi Champions: Skully and Bolouma, her former Combagals and current Cyclone Crushers.
- The scary thing about Skully and Bolouma is that they are undefeated champions for a year and they also do shoot fighting like Nyarai, meaning that they are willing to hurt their opponent for real.
- Cookie telling Kalita that not even she has a chance against those two shows how dangerous the Tendonchi Champions are upon seeing what Kalita did.
Chapter 24: The Clearing
- Kalita's threats in the chapter, making it clear that if Muko and Cookie don't pay her in a week, she will beat them up for real.
- Cookie attempts to try to test Kalita's temper by asking if she's afraid of the Tendonchi Champions. Kalita gives her a warning to pay complete with a Death Glare to hammer the point.
- Kalita's threat to Muko's challenge for a rematch is that she will crush her dreams beneath the wheels of reality, indicating that she will hurt her far worse than their previous fights.
- Just how dangerous are Skully and Bolouma? Kalita believes that, with Muko being dead weight, she won't be able to win as beating one of them will be hard, but two will be impossible.
- While it's part of an inspiring moment, Cookie mentions that after Muko defeats Nyarai and the Cyclone Crushers, she will have to fight other Combagals stronger than them until she reaches Donkizari. Knowing that there will be some Heel Combagals stronger and meaner than the Cyclone Crushers can be a scary thought considering how much Muko is struggling with trying to beat the likes of Kalita and Nyarai.
- Muko and Cookie try to join a gym so that Muko can get physical conditioning and martial arts training. However, every time they try to join, they get rejected. They are shoved out in the first gym, told to Get Out! in the second one, and then denied again with no explanation. It causes Cookie to reach a Rage Breaking Point until the third gym owner tells them that he's banning them because of a Spotter article on Muko.
- The Spotter article on Muko is more personal than the first one, to the point Muko gets a Thousand-Yard Stare upon reading it and Cookie is horrified as she realizes how badly it will hurt her image.
- Miho, the stripper who seduced Adelgund, works as a reporter for Spotter and has done research on Muko's perverted antics on the first chapters and prior to the events of the comic in a poorly time Laser-Guided Karma after Muko underwent Character Development to surpass her perverted tendencies.
- The implication that Shun is willing to destroy Cookie by ruining Muko's life, even if it means violating her privacy.
- Miho reveals that eighteen months before the events of the chapter, Muko had a Teacher/Student Romance when she was seventeen years old. The teacher is the same naked woman who appeared in the flashback of the previous chapter.
- Muko's teacher using Muko as The Scapegoat at the end of the chapter, blaming the entire affair on her and making her look as a sex offender.
- Miho, the stripper who seduced Adelgund, works as a reporter for Spotter and has done research on Muko's perverted antics on the first chapters and prior to the events of the comic in a poorly time Laser-Guided Karma after Muko underwent Character Development to surpass her perverted tendencies.
Chapter 25: The Taste of Pancakes
- Muko disappearing at the beginning of the chapter can be this to Cookie. Her client is barely an adult, emotionally vulnerable, and alone in a red light district. To make matters worse, Cookie is a squirrel incapable of defending herself or Muko and she currently has Muko’s phone on her hands, so she’s unable to contact her.
- Bill Bunburger can be a bit of Real Life nightmare fuel for anybody who is unemployed, especially at a later age. Formerly an employee of the month and a good father, Bill has developed many physical and mental health problems. He’s overweight, he’s a chain-smoker, he’s a conspiracy theorist, and a neglectful father.
- The worst part is that the series takes place in 1997 and Bill earned his award on 1993, meaning that something so horrible happened to Bill that it broke him completely in the span of four years.
- Bill grabbing Saniko by the wrist. While it was mainly to warn her about his suspicions about them being spied, the sudden action still shocked her.
Chapter 26: Daylight
- Kalita meets her former subordinates and gives them a Death Glare despite them having a broken arm and an injured eye.
- The way they back away from her implies that Kalita injured them and that she’s willing to do worse to them if they get on her bad side.
- The end of the chapter shows Harry reading comments in the Spotter. All of them are hate comments towards Muko thanks to the article destroying her reputation.
- Harry's apartment is a bit creepy since it's filled with Muko posters and shirts that makes it look like a Stalker Shrine rather than a room from a dedicated fan.
- His blank expression with shadows as he keeps reading the hate comments paints a sinister picture at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 27: Playtime Is Over
- The chapter starts with a flashback stating that the events of the flashback take place at the same time as the events of the Masato championship. While Muko is pumping herself up and Cookie is trying to keep things in peace, Nyarai is eerily calm as she checks her phone. It is implied that she was talking with Shun about how the fight was going to be before her inevitable betrayal.
- Why did Debbie quit the Roda Kira Gang? She crashed her bike while racing Gantus for the right to remain the leader. She was not wearing a helmet and needed months to recuperate.
- According to Kalita, the Roda Kira Gang are on newspapers because of the shakedowns and other criminal activities that Kalita disapproves. This makes one have one scary question about Gantus. If the Roda Kira Gang was unnoticed under Debbie's leadership, what did Gantus made them do to make them get into the headlines?
- Upon mentioning Leyline, Debbie makes a joke about him sniffing glue. It stops being funny when Kalita answers that he is but she suspects that Gantus is giving him something worse to earn his loyalty.
- Kalita flips a table to fight Debbie after she refuses to join back the Roda Kira Gang and tells her that she quit the biker lifestyle to start a family, insulting Kalita in the process by refusing to grow up. Kalita is shocked when she sees that Debbie is pregnant and nearly hit her unborn baby with a chair while an hysterical Debbie calls her out because her fighting days are over.
- Finding out that Debbie is pregnant and then seeing that she ordered a fancy wine despite her condition. Drinking while pregnant is not a good thing to do as it can be harmful for the baby's development.
- The introduction of Gantus shows why Kalita was afraid of facing him without Debbie's help. He's one of the largest characters in the comic and easily one of the most evil. He's a large dog with a creepy smile, large hands, black fur, and biker outfit. He also plans on having a beautification project by having the Roda Kira Gang beat up homeless people and burning their shelter.
- The formerly idealistic Roda Kira Gang being willing to assault defenseless people and enjoy it shows how much of a corrupting influence Gantus truly is.
- Geffan and Banske, the subordinates of Kalita are among the members, looking to be the most happy with the carnage.
- Kalita, who admitted that she couldn't beat Gantus alone, is now going to fight him, too angry at his actions to just stand there and watch.
- The formerly idealistic Roda Kira Gang being willing to assault defenseless people and enjoy it shows how much of a corrupting influence Gantus truly is.
Chapter 28: The World's Biggest Asshole
- As much as they deserved it, the beating that Kalita gives Geffan and Banske is terrifying due to the Tranquil Fury Kalita shows and her precise use of the bat.
- For Geffan, he was about to hit a raccoon out of sadism. Then Kalita takes his bat, gives him an empty and disappointed stare, asks him a question, and then busts his arm with the bat.
- Banske has it worse. Kalita kicks him to the ground and then busts his leg with the bat. The pain causes him to slap his hands on his face, accidentally cutting himself with his claws.
- For a bit regarding Kalita, the raccoon she rescued met her as a child. He recalls her on a snowy night with a Death Glare and calls her a "runaway" he met years ago. What kind of Dark and Troubled Past did Kalita have that she ran away from home and chose to become an orphan.
- The scene with Leyline is scary because it shows how much drugs affect a person. He was the second founder of the Roda Kira Gang and an equal to Kalita. When he shows up, he has empty eyes, is described as being "high as fuck" by Kalita, and he's the sex toy of Gantus.
- Gantus groping Leyline for a couple of pages. It's not flirtatious or romantic, but something wrong as Leyline is drugged and not in control. Kalita is very disgusted and angry at what Gantus is doing to her former founder.
- Gantus blocking Kalita's Elemental Punch with a single finger and then labeling her as a Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond despite her strength. One has to wonder how strong Gantus truly is to make that assessment.
- Kalita tries to attack Gantus a second time. However, Gantus bothers to counter...by barking so loud that he blasts Kalita away from him. She even has an Imagine Spot of Gantus being large enough to eat her when he does the bark.
- Gantus gives a Hannibal Lecture to Kalita telling her that she's never fought an opponent equal to her and that she's a bully, leading the rest of the gang to laugh at her. Kalita, feeling helpless can't help but run away from Gantus and her former gang. It's a scary reminder that, for all her strength, Kalita is still a high school girl.
Chapter 29: Nightshine
- Granted, he gets rejected, but an attractive man asking a couple of young girls to work at his establishment turns creepy when one remembers that Tendonchi specializes in pink shops during the night.
- When Kalita leads Muko and Cookie into the casino, the rabbit that witnessed the fight between Muko and Kalita is following them and he has a Spotter magazine.
- While it's framed in a comical fashion, Cookie's predicament can be scary. Kalita took a second loan on her name for another 20,000 Moni she intends to bet. Cookie is naturally outraged, stating that Kalita can't do that, until Kalita says a policy stating she can make loans on Cookie's name.
- Kalita betting 19,995 Moni and losing them to Cookie in a roulette spin. What makes this so scary is that a Loan Shark is not affected by gambling as they find ways to make their clients pay them. For a client like Cookie, regardless of whether there is a bad luck curse or not, that's most of their money being gambled with a 50% chance of losing it.
- Cookie losing the second bet, meaning that her bet is doubled. She's so depressed that she's willing to take a drink, despite that being one of the factors that ruined her career two years ago.
- Kalita confronting a cat lady who stole chips at an alley and demanding her money. When confronted with evidence of her crime, the cat shows an Ax-Crazy side, showing a scarred eye, an evil expression, and a sharp knife. Fortunately, Kalita lays her out in a single blow.
- When an angry Muko attempts to fight Kalita, she faints. This worries Cookie, who believes that she's having brain damage from her fight with Nyarai (complete with a memory of Nyarai banging Muko's head on the mat until she bleeds) a while ago. While Muko was only hungry, it raises the possibility of her health if Cookie is scared for a fight that took place three weeks ago.
- The Stinger shows that Shun only did the horrible things he did to Cookie and Muko because he made a deal with a Combagal who agreed to work as a trainer if Shun prevented Cookie from returning to furry fighting. After hearing about Cookie's return, the Combagal decides to return to furry fighting. That Combagal is Freydar...and she's ready to destroy Cookie.
- Her slow appearance in the final pages. She starts as a large shade behind Shun, accusing him of betraying her. When Shun tries to reassure her, she punches a hole in a glass wall. After that she leaves and the audience is shown a large, angry dog ready to take revenge on the squirrel who destroyed her career.
- Brief one for Shun, but him glaring back at Freydar despite her being close to the World's Strongest Woman without a hint of fear shows his true mettle as a criminal. It makes one wonder what would happen if they got on his bad side.
Chapter 30: Facades
- The flashback sets up implications that border on realistic fears.
- Freydar just starting her career three years ago means that by the end of the year she will become one of the greatest Combagals in history and then have that taken away by Cookie's mistakes. It can show how many things can happen in a year and how much a person can change because of a certain event.
- Cookie coldly rejecting Ida despite her having nothing but a few belongings and her furry fighting dreams. She rejects her because she's useless to her due to her quills hurting possible rivals. Seeing Cookie break dreams and only care about results can be harrowing, especially for those who had managers who cared exclusively about profit.
- Ida is an attractive female. However, her face is covered in bandages and she has stitches on her neck. It is implied that she injured herself with her own quills while using them as sewing needles.
- Granted, it's played as Amusing Injuries more than anything, but Cookie tackles Ida after the latter pushes her Berserk Button too many times. Poor Cookie ends with her face covered in large quills the size of her arms. She's even bleeding as she removes them. It's easy to see why she forbid Ida from being a Combagal after seeing the damage those quills can do by accident and imagine what she would have done in a real fight.
Chapter 31: Challenges
- Brida is mostly a funny character. However, her appearance is creepy due to being a Perpetual Smiler in most pages, having Femme Fatalons for fingernails, and one over-the-top Wild Take after another every time she changes expression.
- The last half of the arcade challenge by Stonk is this. After getting the paintball ammunition from balls in a crane game, the Combagals shoot each other to reduce the numbers. However, besides each other, the losers from the previous round will show up dressed as zombies to "kill" the other players indiscriminately.
- Freydar interrupting the Tendonchi Challenges and making a challenge on live television to Cookie. If she loses, they can skip the Tendonchi Challenges to fight Bolouma and Skully after her. But if she beats Muko and Kalita, they have to leave town for good.
- The sheer Morton's Fork forced on Cookie, Muko, and Kalita by Freydar. Muko and Kalita are on their late teens and have no furry fight training other than fighting experience in brawls (more so in the case of Kalita). Suddenly, they are challenged by one of the strongest Combagals of their time in a fight more befitting for a Final Boss than a Starter Villain with high stakes on the line. That's not counting that she's recovering from a Career-Ending Injury after a hiatus, meaning that their reputation will take a hit if they win by crippling her. That's not counting that they will have to fight two champions after Freydar.
- Golgadoo standing up to one of the two characters with the distinction of being the World's Strongest Woman becomes this when Freydar lifts him by the neck and throws him to the crowd.
- Freydar revealing that she still has her Career-Ending Injury but continued training anyway, making her stronger than she was two years ago. While this is a scary thought as she was considered the only person who could beat Donkizari, there is still the issue that Freydar can still get blinded with a blow to the head.
- The tense staring between Shun and Freydar. She didn't hesitate to attack him two chapters ago and she's riled up. Shun only made it because he made a compelling argument.
- Freydar's new terms for The Bet don't make it any better. Rather than fighting her, Muko and Kalita will fight two Cyclone Crushers personally trained by her with the intention of beating them.
- The possibility that Freydar's students may be stronger than Bolouma and Skully. Freydar proved to be a Badass Teacher who made the Cyclone Crushers a team of elite Combagals with some of them being champions.
- The chance of Nyarai being one of Freydar's choices. She already showed a willingness to be The Mole to get revenge for Freydar, a desire to get revenge for her, and voiced her desire to train with her back on Chapter 6. Considering what she did to Adelgund, it's a scary thought that she's among Freydar's possible choices.
- How does Freydar cement herself as The Dreaded in the comic? The reactions of the cast after seeing the video are either stress, trauma, or fear.
- Muko is visually afraid and doesn't hesitate on voicing it. She only calms down until after Cookie decides not to take it.
- Ida is tense despite this being the second time watching the video. One can't imagine how she must have felt the first time.
- Kalita declares that she isn't scared and wants to fight Freydar or her Combagals. However, her reaction face is one of anger and determination.
- Cookie looks haunted, made more evident when her former self as Fortune Cookie materializes behind her and tries to get her to drink.
Chapter 32: The Great Daikarin
- Snuggly's Morton's Fork when she performs on stage alone. It's nightmarish because, regardless of which of them happened, the next entry below was going to happen.
- On one side, Snuggly decided to sing by herself to make up for Sleepy's absence. However, the audience actually complained because Sleepy was not there, acting as if Sleepy's performance amounted to nothing unless her partner was there with her.
- On the other side, Paipu decided to be her partner so that Snuggly wouldn't sing alone. The problem was that Paipu was a muscular man and he was decided to sing while wearing Sleepy's dress. Naturally, they got zero applause from the public.
- Snuggly's breakdown after reaching her Rage Breaking Point as she swears at Paipu and the audience. The way her face distorts as she yells obscenities at her former mentor makes her look more like a rabid animal than a domestic one.
- Paipu snatching Snuggly's microphone and crushing it between his fingers in a display of Tranquil Fury as he lectures her for swearing at him while keeping it on. While it is clear that Paipu was protecting Snuggly, his ability to take her microphone before she could even react shows he's not to be angered.
- The public turning against Snuggly after hearing her tirade against them. Snuggly has an expression of emptiness as she takes away her ribbon and stomps on it. While Snuggly is happy with the new image she made for herself, Cookie and some people theorize that Snuggly "went bonkers" because of the trauma of that night.
Chapter 33: The Smell Of Popcorn
- The number of things Mellow has to do to enter Club Nighthawk. He has to take multiple jobs and sell his beloved Combagal collection to earn enough money to see Nyarai. And this is just for one single visit.
- Nyarai giving Mellow a Cheshire Cat Grin after recognizing him as one of Muko's fans. Mellow mentally thinks that he feels that death is staring at him.
- Even after Mellow strokes her ego by complimenting her, Nyarai makes it clear that she is not swayed.
- Jowdie reveals that the perverted hippo in Chapter 6 was not the only customer who got kicked in the face by Nyarai. Unlike him, the other customers were bullied by her, meaning that she assaulted them out of sadism.
- Nyarai's annoyed face when Jowdie joins in implies that she was going to kick Mellow in the face with little provocation.
- In a more realistic way, despite Nyarai and Peki being the heroes of the Masato match, the Fantastic Racism against Wilds still lingers on, showing how something as complex as hatred can't be washed away.
- Nyarai revealing to Mellow that there is a second Spotter article about Muko. Considering how the first one incriminated her as a sex offender, it is a worrying thought.
- How does Nyarai convince Mellow to read the article after getting distracted by Jowdie? She yells at him with such fury that she turns into a giant flaming face.
- The third Spotter article is about Kalita, but it tarnishes Muko by treating her as an accomplice in her crimes and Cookie by treating her as a crime boss hiring criminals.
- Mellow's distress at seeing Muko's reputation be further tarnished. He already saw the Matroshka article offscreen and was devastated. Then he saw another article further damaging it.
- Nyarai resuming her bullying session on Mellow after noticing he's upset.
- The foot smelling session due to the stress-building.
- Jowdie convinces Nyarai to not bully Mellow by talking about a rumor about cat paw pads. She notices that paw pads smell like popcorn and wonders if Nyarai's paws smell the same. To find the answer, she suggests Mellow smell Nyarai's feet. This makes Nyarai grin in anticipation as she points at her feet and orders Mellow to beg for a smelling session, even silently threatening with a glare if he doesn't comply despite not wanting to smell.
- Nyarai and Jowdie giving sadistic smiles when Mellow asks Nyarai to let him smell her feet. Nyarai looks vindicated at finally having a chance to humiliate the wiener dog and Jowdie is enjoying herself, showing that being the Nice Girl of the Cyclone Crushers doesn't mean she doesn't have a naughty side.
- The foot smelling session can be this as Mellow's nose gets close to Nyarai's paw pad. The last time Nyarai used her feet, she kicked Adelgund hard enough to give her a concussion and break her jaw. The first time Nyarai used her feet, she temporarily reassembled a hippo's face for groping her. And that's not counting all the clients she had after the Masato match that she kicked For the Evulz before Mellow came along.
- Mellow resolving to date Nyarai. While he earned her friendship, he's in enemy territory. One mistake, and Nyarai will do more to him than a kick to the face.
- Besides Nyarai, Mellow also has to deal with Jowdie, who has a devious side despite being a Nice Girl most of the time. And that's not counting Shun Gonfano and the rest of the Cyclone Crushers too.
Chapter 34: Star
- As it turns out, Kalita's parents are indeed dead. Some students at her junior high school cruelly note that they were drug addicts and died via overdose.
- These circumstances give very dark implications to the kind of lifestyle Kalita had based on her running away from home, being an orphan, and reacting negatively to the students speaking about her parents and later to Debbie speaking about family.
- The school brawl Kalita had with Debbie and Leyline counts as this. The three of them are students...and yet they beat each other so badly that they have internal and external injuries.
- Kalita has it worse as Debbie and Leyline ganged up on her and she's spitting up blood even if she gave as much as she took and is still willing to fight.
- We see how the Spotter works and it's disturbing. As it turns out, the raccoon Kalita saved didn't betray her and even vouched for her. This didn't stop Mr. Dings from editing the footage to make it look like Kalita was the aggressor.
- It becomes scarier when one realizes that they probably did the same with Muko and Matroshka or with other countless videos for the sake of ratings.
- Harry channeling Lil' Slugger by confronting Miho in a dark alley dressed in street clothes, roller skates, and wielding a baseball bat.
- Harry revealing that he's suffering Sanity Slippage since Miho's first video as he spent an unspecified amount of time defending Muko from haters. Thanks to the second video, he decided to go after the "root of evil" to stop the rumors.
- The chapter ends with Harry rushing at Miho with his bat raised. Miho covers herself with her arms. And then blood splashes.
Chapter 35: Killer
- Kalita hitting Sleepy from behind with a chair counts as this because of how sudden it was, especially because it came after she and Snuggly reconciled with each other.
- Muko's Groper Muko persona has her grope Snuggly after pinning her down. The facial expression she makes is very convincing as the crowd is more sure about the Spotter article. It's all an act for her Heel persona, but it's still a chilling performance.
- Snuggly and Sleepy's position in the match. They're exhausted from fighting each other at full strength and suddenly a pair of new foe attacks them after they made peace with each other. Snuggly and Sleepy can't help but call each other's name in worry and concern every time Muko or Kalita is dominating them.
- Their reactions of betrayal upon finding out that Daikarin is the new trainer of Team Star Killer. It's implied from their reaction that they came to terms with Paipu's actions in their backstory. Finding out that their trainer left them for the team who beat them through backstabbing can be scary and saddening.
Part 4: Devastator
Chapter 36: A Place Of Your Own
- Kalita's friend had a bandage on her eye before being adopted. It makes one wonder what happened to a little girl to receive an injury like that.
- Daikarin reveals to Muko that Freydar fell into a coma the day before Trilamity Day. It makes one wonder how gruesome her last fight was to be put in such condition.
- Muko gets a random headache after learning a bit more about Trilamity Day. What makes this scarier is that Ida points out that it's not the first time Muko's got a sudden headache.
Chapter 37: High Bump!
- Cookie's plan involving the Redoable Dolls sounds like a win-win on first sight. The Redoable Dolls make up in their fight, then Team Star Killer beats them as their Heel debut, then they are trained by Daikarin to defeat Freydar's team and the Tendonchi Champions, and then they lose to the Redoable Dolls to have them make their comeback. It sounds good on paper, right? No. As pointed out by Ida, Cookie's plan involves them winning their two fights. If they lose either one, not only will Team Star Killer be screwed, but also the Redoable Dolls.
- Kalita admitting to herself that she has no idea what she'll do with her life six months after getting the Tendonchi Belt. It's scary yet relatable how even being a celebrity by becoming a champion Combagal can still make someone feel unfulfilled.
- The following day, Kalita discovers that her college application was denied. And she finds Shun Gonfano talking to Fidah, one of the young orphans she cares about, with the knowledge that he may have an evil plan in store for her.
