Sasha's group goes to find a legendary weapon: an old friend gives Emmanuel some advice.
Tropes that appear in this Chapter:
- Becoming the Mask: Downplayed, while he still working against the Toad Army, Gustav (along with Percy and Braddock) likes Sasha better when she isn't burning villages to the ground.
- Call-Back: Both Bufo's and Sasha & Grime's attempts to claim Tadpole Pond are brought up.
- A Day in the Limelight: Sasha and Gustav jostle for the title of main character this time.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Sasha is uncomfortable with the plan involving Beatrix battling Luz to the death just to keep her from getting in the Toad Army's way.
- For Want Of A Nail: With Gustav here, Percy and Braddock are able to get out of harm's way and not be threatened by Sasha bringing the Narwhal Worm back to the tower. However, this is seen as cowardice by the other toads and they're cast out of the toad army along with Gustav.
- In Spite of a Nail: Sasha and Grime still retrieve the warhammer despite Gustav getting Percy and Braddock away from the Narwhal Worm and Sasha's friendship with Percy and Braddock ends on a bad note.
- Internal Reveal: Sasha's group learns that Bog has become the new captain of the Southern Tower. Sasha also learns about Luz, Anne and Marcy reuniting.
- Out of Focus:
- Luz, Anne, Marcy and the Plantars are only mentioned since this is a Sasha-themed chapter.
- For once Emmanuel appears without Lilly, who isn't even mentioned.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After being banished, Gustav snaps at the toads for the way they've treated him.
Gustav: You know what, all my life whether it was you, or Bog or Fens, all my life you and all the other toads in charge did nothing but belittle and insult me. Always it was the same thing, "Gustav you're not a real toad," then Bog accuses me of being a "traitor" but I don't see how I can be a traitor when all my life you've done nothing but make me feel ashamed of who I am. You want to tell me I'm not a real toad but then you want to label me a "traitor" for fighting against you? I don't see how I can be a "traitor" to the Toads when you've done nothing but make me feel ashamed and unwelcome my whole life. So fine! I guess I'll never be a "real toad" in your eyes and honestly… that's fine by me.
- The Reveal:
- The Red Heron's been attacking the other Toad Towers since Uodeela got stuck in that form.
- Beatrix has once defeated Uodeela in battle before, and would have finished her off if the salamander hadn't blinded her.
- Wham Episode: Sasha and Grime gain the support of the Toad Lords for the rebellion, Gustav, Percy and Braddock are kicked out of the toad army, Valeriana tells Emmanuel about a future conflict that will require him to trust Grime should they live beyond the siege of Newtopia, Sasha begins to question The Voice she's been hearing and gives Beatrix the go-ahead for killing, or at least severely injuring Luz so she doesn't stop the rebellion.
