Part two of the final tetralogy

All Hell break loose on the Crinsom Claws... literally, as the Shushu armies engage the New Sufokian troops in battle. As this clash takes place, Phaeris the Powerful and Yugo come face to face with Anathar, possessing Adamai's body, and Qilby, the Traitor, in a furious struggle to keep the Dofus away from the latter's arm. Meanwhile, the seemingly-unstoppable offensive from Rushu comes to a halt in front of a new arrival: Goultard, Dally's master, joins the battle, ready to face the King of Shushu once more.


Tropes:

  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: In the flashback showing Qilby' defeat, he's heard panicking begging Yugo to not send him to the Blank Dimension.
  • An Arm and a Leg: The same flashback also shows Phaeris biting Qilby's arm off.
  • Beam Spam: Empowered by the Eliacube, Qilby attacks Yugo from multiple angles with a bombardment of Wakfu blasts.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Goultard shows up in time to save Dally (and the World of Twelve) from Rushu, as well as accidentally(?) send the Brotherhood's ship on the main land with a tidal wave caused by his leap.
  • Blood Knight:
    • When Yugo teleports back on the island, he meets a happy Dally next to a pile of KOed Shushus, beating the crap out of one held under his arm and cheerfully remarking to Yugo that "there's plenty of bad guys to beat up!" Later, when given the choice among General Moffette (with whom he has a score to settle), Rushu (both he and Rubilax agree he's invincible) and a possessed Adamai (cannot fly), Dally decides to go after Rushu, even though he just recognized him as invincible.
    • General Moffette laughs maniacally as she tears Shushu apart with her mecha, and fights the demonic horde in the first wave without fear.
    • Anathar doesn't need much prompting from Qilby to engage Phaeris, as he's eager to test out the power of his new dragon body.
  • Brick Joke: Remington and Grany manages to get out of the Shukrute, only to find themselves stranded in a warzone.
  • Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Phaeris attacked by possessed Adamai, while Qilby finally gets his hands on his Dofus.
  • Demon Head: Amalia's reaction to Yugo's trick is downright rage, and isn't afraid to show it.
  • Demonic Possession: In addition to Anathar possessing Adamai, during his first clash with Phaeris he states he might trade forms for Phaeris's once he wins.
  • Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Goultard isn't afraid to stare down Rushu and insult him in his face.
    Rushu: Do you think you can upset me with your petty insults, Goultard?
    Goultard: By Iop, no! You're far too stupid to understand even half of it!
  • Didn't See That Coming: Qilby had honestly no way to foresee the New Sufokian fleet, as he pretty much admits, but doesn't stop Rushu from believing that he lead him and his Shushu into a trap, putting and end to their alliance.
  • Dissonant Serenity: After his Face Fault in the previous episode, Prince Adale shows surprising restrain and calm in front of the demonic invasion... contrasting the Bridge Bunnies, who're hysterical with fear.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: This time parodied, when the Card-Carrying Villain that is Rushu proceeds to calls Rubilax out on his action... before realizing that, in a way, they're not that bad:
    Rushu: Rubilax, you filthy rottenness, you allow a human to control your Shushu powers and use them against your own King?! No Shuhsu has ever gone so far into vileness! [suddenly ponders on what he just said] There's something I like in this treachery!
  • Faux Affably Evil: Qilby welcomes Yugo as if nothing happened, chastising the ongoing massacre in front of them as if violence is below him... and promptly turns hostile when Yugo calls him out on this treason.
  • Fearless Fool: Sadlygrove, who not only decides to attack Rushu, the most invincible target present on the island... but also yells at him to get his attention before attacking him, rather than use a sneak attack.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: We get to see a Shushu slowly ripped in half by Moffette's mecha. Ouch.
  • Hysterical Woman: While Adale seems to treat the demonic invasion like an annoying pest problem, the Bridge Bunnies are hysterical with fear... until he orders them to psyche up and just resume firing on the island until only Sufokian are left.
  • In a Single Bound: Goultard reaches the island by leaping on the sea... with enough force to temporarily push away all the water from the spot and create tidal waves.
  • Never My Fault: When Yugo calls Qilby out for betraying them, Qilby instantly lashes back with an attack and tells him that it was them who betrayed him first, claiming that only his sister was on his side.
  • No-Sell: After releasing himself from Rushu's grip, Qilby decks him in the middle of the face with a huge, wakfu-empowered punch courtesy of the Eliacube... and the Demon King barely blinks. Later he literally laughs the barrage of stasis lasers off and calls them "wonderful toys", even before he turns several ships into extra armor for himself.
  • Powered Armor: After commenting on the steammarines being remarkable, Rushu uses his powers to attract some of them to create himself an hi-tech armor for him to wear, which also includes the stasis cannon.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Qilby admits in Yugo's face that he lied to get them away from the Eliacube because at the time he was too weak to take them on. The first thing he does after the landing is to point Anathar at Phaeris, to make sure the Dragon is out of the way.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: When a furious Amalia shows up to give Adale a piece of her mind, he and his attendants laugh at her for believing she can give him military advice... but when Amalia points out that they could just aim at the portal in order to stop the flow of invading Shushu and stop putting the lives of their own foot soldiers in jeopardy Adale shuts up... and acknowledge her plan as better, without making a fuss and recognizing his previous lack of tactics.
  • Spanner in the Works: Qilby's plan was to sic the entire Shushu horde on Phaeris... but the presence of the New Sufokia fleet throws a wench into his plans, as now the Shushu's attention is diverted and Rushu believes Qilby has betrayed them.
  • Super-Empowering: As soon as they can catch some breath, Phaeris blesses Yugo with a spell that will temporarily bring forth his hidden potential, allowing him to fight Qilby on a more equal ground.
  • This Is No Time to Panic: After sneaking a ride to escape Rushu's world, Remington says to Grany: "Don't make a meow...", as they are surrounded by Shushus. Then, a few minutes later, the island is bombarded by the Sufokian navy, and...
    Grany: Can I meow now, Remy?
    Remington: AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!
