- Agony of the Feet: Thumbtacks are flung across the Bloodbath, with Femjira and even Lord Death being affected.
- Battle Amongst the Flames: A ring of fire traps Judy and Ridley in the final battle, preventing her friends from helping.
- Big Brother Instinct: Gender-flipped. Racheal is intent on making sure her sister is safe at the start, unaware of her fate last episode.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: When Fidget's team rattles off their sins, thinking it'll get them out of the Arena, Judy and Shantae give atypical answers (Judy having a crush on the chief, Shantae expressing frustration with the mayor), Isabelle's is...well...Isabelle: "Sometimes, when I close my eyes, all I think about is blood, death, and destruction against all those who slighted me! Like a darkness is taking over my soul, reducing me to the primal need to rip and tear until it is done...also, I might be bisexual, but only my dad ever considered that a fault when he got the hot fire poker out."
Judy Hopps: "...wow." - Breaking the Fourth Wall: Several times, but we can't have an entry with Deadpool without this trope. He does this for his team entry, interrupted constantly.
- The Bus Came Back: Ed, Harry Dredsen, Lucifer, James Stark, Elias Ainsworth, Fidget, Isabelle, Shantae, Judy Hopps, and Ridley all return from the previous episode.
- Car Fu: Judy crushes Ridley once and for all with the wreckage of one.
- Composite Character: Scourge is basically Predaking, but with the name of the two-headed dragon-former from 'Cybertron'.
- Likewise, Trypticon turns into a city like his G1 self, though has a robot mode like his 'War for Cybertron' incarnation.
- Cute and Psycho: Hoots, the female Gutter Runner Skaven.
- David vs. Goliath: EVERYBODY against Trypticon, whom dwarves even the tallest of combatants.
- Eventually, Judy against Ridley in the finale.
- Drives Like Crazy: Once again, Fidget's team gets a truck, with Isabelle taking the wheel and proving a bit crazy with it.
- Enemy Mine: Most of the combatants against Trypticon, after a while.
- Eye Scream: Bogo loses an eye against Ridley when he attacks Zootopia at the end.
- Fallen Cupid: Baskerra's outfit for this episode, complete with broken halo.
- Fluffy Tamer: Judy to a Metroid that's floating around in the Arena. It comes back to help her when the empowered creature supercharges her when she's at death's door near the end, though at the cost of its life.
- Fountain of Youth: Nala is made younger for this match-up. Something that goes noticed by Fuli.
- Gender Rarity Value: The two female Skaven are seen as unusual by Thanquol. Well, the fact that they aren't the usual female variety, that is.
- Genre Savvy: Team 2, again. Right down to them guessing that they're not due for this match for long.
- "Groundhog Day" Loop: Fidget theorizes that her team is stuck in one of these as eternal punishment. Ironically, this is the last episode this team stars in fully.
- History Repeats: Aside from Ridley losing to another combatant that's seen as small yet strong, a friendly Metroid helps out the main hero with a power burst at the cost of its life.
- Hot-Blooded: Several combatants, but Ferna is a big example, being a Flareon and all.
- Jet Pack: Mako gains jet-boosters on his ankles by Grand Gosei, just because.
- Humongous Mecha: Trypticon, natch.
- Macross Missile Massacre: One of Trypticon's favorite methods of attack during City Mode, which wipes out several combatants.
- Mythology Gag: As shown in Isabelle's speech, she quotes bits from the Doomslayer's prophecy., referencing the various memetic connections fans have made to her franchise and DOOM.
- "Pop!" Goes the Human: Mink's fate, blown up by an air-pump thanks to Ferna.
- Power Creep, Power Seep: As usual. Thanquol is given new vigor, for example, while Lucifer comments that the depowering is enough to keep his team down.
- Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: A huge record, as Trypticon's event WIPES OUT MORE THAN HALF THE REMAINING CAST AT THAT POINT.
- Rule 63: The version of Gojira (Femjira here), King Ghidorah (Queen Ghidorah here), and Anguirus.
- Scars Are Forever: Both Judy and Bogo gain these at the end, with the former losing half of her left ear and Bogo losing one of his eyes.
- Sensual Slavs: Anguirus is characterized as this, much like a slightly dumber version of the Heavy.
- Serious Business: Rock, Paper, Scissors. It saves a few during the Bloodbath, while it just confuses the living heck out of Anguirus.
- Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Cringer's stuck as an anthro Battle-Cat here, leaving him a hot-blooded over-confident muscle-cat.
- Spontaneous Choreography: Both the Villain Song below and ESPECIALLY the 'Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah' moment later on.
- Take That!: Deadpool calls Drizzt "Edward Cullen", to which the confused Dark Elf says he feels a surge of disappointment hearing that name.
- Again, Grand Gosei is mocked for his power-up tendencies.
- Tentacled Terror: One shows up during the Bloodbath, one with many eyes and the ability to unleash spikes from its appendages. Scourge and Jasmine escape, but Dresden is torn apart and Rouge is mind-broken by the tentacle-sex that ensues.
- They Killed Kenny Again: Most returnees suffer this fate, but Judy becomes the first returnee of the series to avert this.
- Third Time's The Charm: Judy's third consecutive Arena, and she ends up the winner of it.
- Villainous Breakdown: Ridley totally loses it when he starts failing against an empowered Judy Hopps and later goes on a furious rant...while reduced to a head.
- Villain Song: Ridley literally borrows his fellow Combatant's (Joker) song, "I Go Looney", near the start. Eventually, Joker just joins in, as much as they can.
- We ARE Struggling Together: A few teams (Even the one involving Cheetara), but Nialis' team is definitely this, given Ridley and Samus, mortal enemies, are in the same room.
- You Bastard!: The narration when explaining why Mink's death didn't exploit the inflation fetish.
Your Winner: Judy Hopps (Fidget Pond's pick)
