Recap / Kid Cosmic S 3 E 4 Kid Cosmic And The Little Spark

Go To

Rosa grows frustrated with everyone's sudden lack of fighting spirit, but she finds a tiny glimmer of hope where she least expects it.


Tropes:

  • Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving: General Staunch looks like it’s chewing out his underlings for disobeying a direct order, but in the end he tells them that he’s happy about them going against his orders because they managed to save the day.
  • Art Shift: Kid's plan on how to stop Fantos is drawn in a much more simplistic style.
  • Asleep for Days: Rosa wakes up a few days after Queen Xhan rescues everyone, with them being worried about her.
  • The Bus Came Back: Queen Xhan and the tiny refugees are back. Queen Xhan saves the team from dying in outer space.
  • Darkest Hour: Following last episode, the Local Heroes were stuck in deep space. While Queen Xhan saves them, all but Kid, Jo, and Rosa are dejected, and no one knows the whereabouts of Fantos and Erodius, nor a way to defeat them [for real]. The only thing Xhan suggests is to create a new "Flo's Oasis" for any survivors who have escaped Erodius' reign of destruction, now under the impression that Erodius is truly unstoppable, especially when none of them have the Cosmic Stones of Power anymore.
  • A Day in the Limelight: The episode is centered around Rosa and her frustrations about everyone's lack of willingness to go against Erodius, and around Ensign Mainstay, Cadet Vinia and Bombardier Brake, three of the tiny alien refugees who search up for a way to save the galaxy from Erodius.
  • Exact Words:
    Rosa: Has anyone seen Kid?
    Hamburg: Nein.
    Tuna: Nope.
    Fry: Yeah!
    Rosa: [gasps] Where is he?
    Fry: I dunno.
    Rosa: You said you saw him.
    Fry: In my life, yeah, but I dunno where he is now.
  • Double-Meaning Title: The episode title if referred threefold: Rosa, the youngest of the Local Heroes and the most hopeful, the three refugees, part of a civilization being the smallest overall and want to help continue the fight, and a new chance to save the day when all hope seems lost.
  • Group Hug: The whole cast gets in on one when Rosa wakes up.
  • Identical Grandson: This episode shows that when Papa G was a boy, he heavily resembled Kid with short hair.
  • "Ray of Hope" Ending: Thanks to Rosa and the three little refugees, they bring 13 Cosmic Stones back to the Local Heroes, giving everyone a new chance to fight Fantos and Erodius.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Mainstay disobeys the General's orders of going back to the Colony because he won’t give up in saving the galaxy as long as there’s a sliver of hope. Vinia and Brake follow him, though Brake only because he thinks without him they'll get themselves killed.
  • Space "X": Ramona chides Carlos for applying "space" to every word. Carlos replies he's just having "space fun".
  • The Stinger: Fantos asleep on the couch, none the wiser as to what has happened.
