K.O. and the heroes of the Plaza fight to save Lakewood Plaza Turbo with everything on the line.
Tropes:
- Apologetic Attacker: Ms. Mummy catches K.O. trying to activate the Plaza's defense systems, and says "I'm so sorry..." as she prepares to blast him.
- Art Shift: The rebellion has an edgier art style.
- Beard of Sorrow: Mr. Gar instantly grows one after being depowered and surrendering to P.O.I.N.T.
- Boss Subtitles:Wrecking Ball: 'Bout to Wreck Stuff Up
The Resistance: Literally Underground
Perfect K.O. (As Long as K.O. and T.K.O. are in Balance)
The Key to the Plaza: Important After All
Legendary Defense System: Plazamo - Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Gar and Carol seemingly break up in the Downer Beginning, when Gar finds out that she was secretly working for P.O.I.N.T. and storms off angrily. During the final battle, both of them show up to take down the force field protecting Foxtail's ship, and as they're falling through the air, they both apologize for their mistakes (Carol for not telling him about P.O.I.N.T., and Gar for not even listening to her attempts to explain) and reconcile. It's clear by the end of the episode that they're back together.
- Call-Back: K.O. and T.K.O. once again synchronize to form P.K.O., first seen in T.K.O.'s House. Based on Dendy's comment that his transformations are getting better, we can infer that they've practiced this synchronization offscreen more since then.
- Chekhov's Gun: From all the way back in Season 1's "Plazalympics". The key to the Plaza that K.O.'s team got (and Colewort has been holding onto) for winning the Plazalympics turns out to be necessary to activate the defense system. After a second of confusion, Rad and Enid remember this and even lampshade it with "Oh yeah, Plazalympics, Season 1".
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Crinkly Wrinkly was correct back in "Legends of Mr. Gar" when he said the plaza was actually a giant robot named Plazamo, proving that his story was anything but exaggeration.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Boxman shows up after the final battle is over to try to steal the glorbs. The heroes aren't at all fazed, and after Foxtail throws K.O. at Boxman, he takes him down easily in one hit.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Though he's not directly name-dropped, it's made clear that Laserblast's disappearance and apparent death was this for Foxtail. She blames herself for what happened to him, feeling it could have been avoided if she'd been a better leader, and this was why she became the Well-Intentioned Extremist who carries the weight of the world alone that she is today.
- De-power: Foxtail has a ray that can remove a hero's power, at low levels its just temporary but higher levels or multiple shots can depower a person for good.
- Downer Beginning: The episode opens with the plaza getting occupied by P.O.I.N.T., and Mr. Gar leaving in shame after getting depowered.
- Dramatically Missing the Point: Carol points out that for all she never told Mr. Gar that she was still in P.O.I.N.T, he never questioned it when she just turned up one day and opened her dojo right next to his store. Gar admits he didn't, because he just wanted to think he'd gotten lucky for once in his life.
- Everyone Knows Morse: While trying to unlock the blueprints to Lakewood Plaza Turbo, Dendy recognizes the tune that's playing as Morse code that spells out the password.
- Eye Catch: The double-length episode has an Anime-style bumper in the middle.
- Eyepatch After Time Skip: Crinkly Wrinkly wears an eyepatch as a member of the Resistance.
- Fastball Special: Foxtail helps K.O. stop Lord Boxman from stealing the glorbs by throwing him at Boxman.
- Finale Credits: An exciting instrumental version of the opening theme song is played over the closing credits.
- Graffiti of the Resistance: The tunnels of the plaza are covered in triangular graffiti put up by the resistance members.
- Grey Rain of Depression: It starts raining when Foxtail demolishes the Plaza.
- Heel Realization: When Carol and Gar get Foxtail to see that trying to protect the world by herself was her mistake, and that she needs support rather than power, Foxtail realizes that this is the reason that, no matter how much power she gained, she never felt like it was enough. She tells the heroes that they can have the Plaza and glorbs back, gives a genuine apology for all that she's done, and steps down as P.O.I.N.T.'s leader.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Taking Foxtail's words to heart Elodie ends the battle by allowing the mega de-power laser to not only hit the ship but Foxtail and herself directly. Luckily Elodie was already acting against Foxtail and had significantly lowered the power of the laser.
- Humongous Mecha: The plaza can turn into one by the name of Plazamo.
- Ironic Echo: Foxtail justifies firing the depowering ray at Plazamo when K.O., Rad and Enid are still there by saying "What's a couple of sacrifices for the greater good?" Elodie later uses the same line on her when she opens the cockpit hatch so the reflected depowering ray hits them.
- Internal Reveal: Mr. Gar learns that Carol is still a member of P.O.I.N.T.
- It May Help You on Your Quest: Colewort's key to the plaza (which he received in "Plazalympics") activates Plazamo, thus making it the literal key to the plaza.
- La Résistance: A small rebel group led by K.O. waits for 2 months to begin their rebellion. It consists of K.O., Enid, Rad, Dendy, Red Action, A Real Magic Skeleton, Brandon, Sparko, Colewort, Ginger, Chameleon Jr., and Crinkly Wrinkly.
- Laugh Track: The opening is sitcom-style, complete with laugh track.
- My God, What Have I Done?: When Foxtail realizes the error of her ways, she sincerely apologizes for the damage she's caused.
- Not What I Signed on For: Carol refuses to work with P.O.I.N.T. when Foxtail tries to take over the Plaza and turn it into a glorb processing plant.
- Post-Final Boss: Boxman shows up to steal all the glorbs after the heroes have defeated Foxtail and she's had her Heel Realization. He's not much of a "boss fight", as K.O. beats him in one hit, sending him flying back to Boxmore and causing the entire place to explode.
- The Power of Friendship: K.O. and his friends work together to get him to the manually-activated Plaza defense system. When the on-off switch fails to do anything, K.O. name-drops the trope, lamenting that the power of friendship has failed.
- Time Skip: After the Downer Beginning, the story jumps two months later after P.O.I.N.T. has taken over the Plaza.
- Unfolding Plan Montage: A tongue-in-cheek one of these covers K.O.'s plan to get to the power supply for the Plaza defense system and turn it on.
- Wham Episode: A lot happens in this episode that makes it a very important, can't-miss episode. For example, Foxtail steps down as the leader of P.O.I.N.T and Elodie takes her place. Also, all the heroes get upgrades on their pow cards, and Mr. Gar allows K.O., Enid, and Rad to join him on his secret missions.
- You Are in Command Now: Foxtail steps down as head of P.O.I.N.T., and names Elodie as her successor due to being impressed by her gutsiness, integrity, and brains.
