Added DiffLines:

* CurbStompBattle: The Don Killer delivers these to hero and villain alike the entire episode, hospitalizing a good chunk of the team and browning the pants of everyone else. Only an android just as bad as itself can keep up with it.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: The end of the episode points toward Jiro's kind side being a Penguin Juto.



* [[BigRedButton Big Purple Button]]: Jiro sees a button saying "do not press." [[SchmuckBait He does]]. '''[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Everyone nearly dies]]'''.



* FailsafeFailure: Premise of the episode. The Don Killer was meant to be an artificial counter to the team going rogue. However, the teams AchievementsInIgnorance boot it up needlessly and cause it to rampage trying to achieve its directive. The team only survives thanks to the ''failsafe's own failsafe''.

* CrazyPrepared: Don Killer was created to take out the Donbrothers in the event that they went rogue. Turns out the same people who made it decided to make a ''second'' robot to act as a failsafe if Don Killer went rogue. So they made a failsafe ''for'' the failsafe.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Shinichi, Haruka and Tsuyoshi manage to crack a safe containing the control-device of a failsafe doomsday weapon simply by entering their birthdays as passwords for laughs.



* ContrivedCoincidence: Despite being confined in the same hospital ward as Shinichi and Tsuyoshi, Tsubasa's identity as Inu Brother is left unknown to them because he went to get a glass of water right as the Donblasters call them to fight.

* MetronomicManMashing: Tsubasa, Tsuyoshi and Shinichi all suffer grievous injuries from the Don Killer tenderizing the ground with them.



* SummonBiggerFish: How do they manage to deal with Don Killer? By getting help from Don Killer ''Killer''.
