Recap / Ben 10 Omniverse S 3 E 2 Tummy Trouble

Go To

When the Incursean armada kidnaps the Gourmand Queen, Ben and Rook must get the warring Gormand factions to work together to save her and stop the Incursean invasion.


Tropes in this episode

  • Bittersweet Ending: The Incurseans are defeated, but the Gourmands need to find a new home due to having to eat Peptos XI to keep the Incurseans from conquering it. Becomes even more bitter when it's revealed at the very end that Emperor Milleous plans to invade Earth.
  • Blatant Lies: Attea tells Milleous that she destroyed Peptos XI to Make an Example of Them to save face, when in reality, the Gourmands destroyed their own planet so she couldn't conquer it.
  • The Bus Came Back: Princess Attea and Emperor Milleous return for the first time since the Season 1 finale of Ben 10: Alien Force.
  • Cold Open: The episode begins with Ben and Rook captured by Nyancy-chan, who gets defeated pretty quickly.
  • Extreme Omnivore: The Gourmands, aka Upchuck’s species. They actually eat their home planet when the Queen declares that they need to move on to a different world.
    Queen Rumbletum: It's called Peptos Eleven, dumpling. What do you think happened to the other ten?
  • Feud Episode: Ben sides with the Murks who want to rescue the queen, while Rook sides with the Perks who want to fight off the invasion.
  • Ironic Echo: During the episode, Ben sides with the Murks who want to rescue the queen, while Rook sides with the Perks who want to fight off the invasion. When both groups eventually face trouble with their plans, Rook comments "Perhaps I should have listened to Ben", right as the scene cuts to Ben saying "I should have listened to Rook".
  • Loophole Abuse: With the Incurseans trying to invade Peptos XI, the Gourmand Queen has her subjects execute "Plan Omega", which is eating the entire planet. After all, the Incurseans can't take the planet when there is nothing left to take.
  • Not So Above It All: An example involving Ben, if you can believe it. He's grossed out by the Gourmands eating their own planet, yet turns into Upchuck to join in.
