* KickTheSonOfABitch: Jericho kills the Wildebeests who bother him, including Number 8 when the latter asked for their current goals. While this is to show Jericho as a Bad Boss, so far Number 8 had been the Hate Sink of the arc due to undermining and then discovering Nightwing's infiltration, which caused his capture.

''Titans Hunt'' was a [[ArcFatigue loooong]] story arc of the ComicBook/TeenTitans.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Wildebeest are defeated, Pantha and Red Star join the Titans, though Deathstroke grieves the loss of his son that he [[MercyKill had to kill]], a corrupted Raven is presumed dead (though not for long), Aqualad is in a coma, Golden Eagle is dead (though his death was later retconned into a GoodThingYouCanHeal, Danny Chase and Arella sacrifice their lives to allow the creation of Phantasm and Cyborg is now a complete robot.]]

It began when the Titans were about to celebrate their anniversary. None of them got to the party in time: the Wildebeest attacked and captured all of them. Not knowing what else to do, Steve Dayton hired Deathstroke to rescue the Titans. Deathstroke headed to Grayson's apartment, found the Wildebeest and... another Wildebeest? He managed to escape. Those 2 attacked Danny Chase, and killed him. Arella joined them, and things got increasingly complicated with two newcomers, Pantha (a savage cat girl) and Phantasm. All of them manage to break into the society of Wildebeests, and find Nightwing (who took the suit of the Wildebeest that tried to capture him, and infiltrated the society, until he was discovered) about to be killed by the main Wildebeest... who happens to be Jericho? Who can talk now? Who is now evil? Who can summon a soul self, like Raven? What the hell? And yet, he used his trademarked trick of getting inside and outside of people: it IS him.

'''Titans Hunt''' was a [[ArcFatigue loooong]] story arc of the ComicBook/TeenTitans.

* {{Dying as Yourself}}: [[spoiler:Jericho was being controlled by the evil spirits of Azarath. He managed to be freed from them long enough to ask his father for a MercyKill.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Wildebeest defeated Raven by sending her against Emil Sorda, a psycho killer that was ''so'' evil, not even Raven could influence him, and she collapsed trying. But Wildebeest mentioned that he was glad that Sorda was finally stopped and his killing spree was stopped: it's too much, even for him.

** When the Titans were returning from Russia, Jericho made a more literal case. Kill all of them, except Nightwing.

* LeaveNoWitnesses: Wildebeest had help to capture Starfire, but must keep secrecy, so he rewarded the elder woman that acted as a victim just like a traitor deserves.

* NotSoStoic: Deathstroke was not so stoic when he realized that the main Wildebeest was his son.

* YouWouldntShootMe: Pantha does not think that Deathstroke would actually breack her spine, as he said. He pointed that the Titans would not do it... but ''[[WouldHitAGirl he]]'' would.

* CListFodder: Did you remember Golden Eagle, Hawkman's sidekick/Titans West member? No? Don't worry, he only appears in the story so that Wildebeest kills him.

* {{I Am a Humanitarian}}: The corpse-filled apartment of Emil Sorda, cannibalistic serial killer, is discovered.
