Watch out for spoilers!
Flopin and Eva's escape from the Eniripsa Room hasn't gone unnoticed by Oropo, and both Toxine and Echo are sent to retrieve them and bring them back to their prison. However, things take a sharp turn for the unexpected when the treacherous Sram Demigoddess decides to take this opportunity to pursue her vengeance and incapacitates Lady Echo, declaring her intention to finish off mother and son now and there.
Meanwhile, not too far below them in the Tower, the Brotherhood has entered the Sadida Temple, which hosts a non-hostile demigoddess, none other than Dathura, Sadida's forsaken doll who once was Ogrest's lover and caused the infamous Chaos. As they go, Ruel harshly criticizes Amalia for her previous behaviour, hurting her feelings even deeper. Is the breakdown of the heroes anticipated by Oropo close to become a reality?
Tropes:
- At Least I Admit It: In a way, as Toxine accuses Echo of being an hypocrite who lets others do all her dirty work for her and Oropo's cause while she looks down on them, while Toxine herself claims to completely embrace her true nature and doesn't bother to hide it behind a façade.
- Ax-Crazy: Toxine in spades. She doesn't even deny that she's a psychopath.
- Berserk Button: As it turns out, if there's something that really makes Toxine murderous is, in her own words, people who look down on her and act "haughty".
- Brutal Honesty: Adamai is surprisingly honest about his worries for the incoming plan, claiming that, after all, they're going to face the Gods and it would be stupid not to have doubts. Furthermore, he openly voices his disagreement in Oropo's choice of demigods, pointing out that some of them aren't necessarily better or worse than the current Gods.
- Disney Villain Death: Toxine is ultimately pushed into her own Well of Shadows and disappears into its fiery depths.
- Easily Forgiven: Discussed; Toxine seems to believe that Oropo will let her treason slide, as after all, he chose her to be the new Sram Goddess.
- Eldritch Location: The Sram Temple: a location resembling Fire and Brimstone Hell covered by a thick layer of dark fog and hosting the Well of Shadows: a massive well giving off a sickly green glow which, according to Toxine, is part of her very own soul.
- Famed In-Story: Unlike the previous demigods (though Coqueline and Echo do make a cameo in Dofus), Dathura is a very important background character, and Amalia is genuinely amazed to meet such an important figure.
- Floating Continent: The Sadida Room is composed by a series of floaring grassy plateau over a sky-like abyss, which is lampshaded by Elely.
- Foreshadowing: The giant ring-like gate at the top of the Tower shown at the beginning of the episode becomes important in the following episodes.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Highly implied with Toxine among the Siblings for her sociopathic behaviour and tendencies, with Lady Echo barely tolerating her and Adamai openly despising her.
- Friendly Enemy: Dathura doesn't want to fight the heroes, only to talk to them. Her only sign of hostility has her grabbing Ruel with her roots when he tells Yugo they shouldn't trust her. And because she knows he's Sypho in disguise.
- Hidden Disdain Reveal: Toxine, after turning on Lady Echo and restraining her, reveals that she was disgusted at her for "cooing in front of handsome Oropo" while she was doing all the dirty work.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Toxine has her own demon traps turned against her and is pushed in her own Well of Shadows, which is part of herself.
- I Did What I Had to Do: How Dathura sees her role in history and the Chaos of Ogrest, as she claims that "sacrifices are required for evolution".
- Improvised Weapon: Flopin manages to rework some of Toxine's own traps into rudimentary crossbows.
- Irony: When Goultard and Sadlygrove confront Black Bump, the latter says that they have to pay the toll with their underwear to cross his temple. Dally accepts without making a fuss, convinced that Yugo would have done the same. As seen two episodes ago, they fought.
- Karmic Death: Toxine ends up defeated by the child she wanted to murder and falls to her demise in her own Well of Shadows.
- Laughing Mad: Again, Black Bump, after revealing to the two Iop demigods the price for leaving his room.
- Love Makes You Evil: As it turns out, despite everything Arpagone is still in love with Ruel, which is how Oropo picked her.
- Master of Illusion: Toxine's other asset is her mastery over mirages and illusions: the Cra Temple is actually the Sram Temple, and the bows used by Flopin and Eva cannot harm her because they're illusions too. The illusion is so well done that not even Lady Echo is aware of its nature.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Adamai argues that Oropo's demigods chosen to replace the old, flawed Gods aren't that much better themselves: Toxine is a psychotic killer, Black Bump a pervert, Ush a gambler and Coqueline, Flopin and Elely are just children.
- Oh, Crap!: For the first time, Lady Echo shows genuine terror to the point of begging when Toxine starts dragging her towards her Well of Shadows, with the implicit intent of throwing her inside.
- Ominous Fog: The Sram Room is entirely covered in smog-like fog, which hides a series of living bear traps on the ground and allows Toxine to hide herself to attack from anywhere.
- Pretender Diss: Downplayed, but when Lady Echo tells Adamai he has nothing to fear from the Gods since he easily defeated Goultard, the Dragon points out that Goultard's not Iop.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Ruel, of all people, give a scathing one (and not entirely baseless either) to Amalia, calling her out for playing the spoiled princess in a situation where Yugo's already distressed over something else important and confusing her friends with her servants. Also counts as Break Them by Talking, courtesy of Sypho.
- Taking You with Me: As she falls into the Well, Toxine shoots one last shot... hitting Eva in the belly and endangering her unborn baby.
- Token Good Teammate: Dathura harbors no hostility towards the Brotherhood, is still worried about Ogrest's well-being despite not regretting what she did and doesn't even try to demoralize the heroes.
- Trap Master: As part of Toxine's powers, she can deploy several traps resembling living beartraps to bite anyone who steps on them. Flopin manages to turn them against her.
- Villain Has a Point:
- In a Villain vs. Villain example, Adamai voices his worrying over Oropo's plan, rightfully pointing out that they shouldn't expect that the Gods would simply comply and surrender, and also that for all his desire for a better universe, many members of Oropo's new pantheon aren't any better than the old Gods they want to depose.
- While she's also a raving madwoman, Toxine's comment on Lady Echo's action and lack of involvement in the Brotherhood's more unsavory actions (e.g. the attack on Percedal's house) is valid.
- While needlessly cruel, Sypho's tirade against Amalia did have some valid points.
- Wham Shot: The episode ends with Eva being stabbed in the belly by Toxine's last bolt and screaming in pain.
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Invoked by Goultard, after being forced to give his underwear to Black Bump. He points out they could have just beat the crap out of him, but Dally wanted to try to make a point and "grow up", solving the situation peacefully like Yugo would have done.
