** Becomes a moment of fridge brilliance in hindsight as [[Recap/BabylonFiveS05E08DayOfTheDead it would later be explained]] that Minbari humour is based on failing to obtain emotional or spiritual enlightenment from a situation, making this funny for humans and Minbari!

* CurbStompCushion: Marcus is clearly well out of his depth fighting a Minbari Warrior Caste veteran but he does get a few decent hits in and [[YouShallNotPass holds Neroon up long enough]] to stop him disrupting the ceremony and give him his HeelRealization.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Neroon comes to offer respect to Marcus for making him realise how far he was drifting from his Minbari honour. Marcus responds that maybe next time Neroon could reach that conclusion without beating him almost to death and the normally stone faced warrior cracks up with the human.

* DeadpanSnarker: The usual suspects but notable here is that Marcus continues to snark at Neroon while barely conscious from a brutal beating.

* NoOSHACompliance: Apparently Babylon 5 was built in such a way that if the lifts are down or inoperable for any reason, there is no other way to from one floor to another. Everyone is trapped where they are until someone can make the lifts work again. A five mile long space station, without a staircase in sight.

** The tie-in novels and background materials suggest that willingly entering the Den'sha is legally considered to place responsibility for death on the person themselves. So it's "suicide by Minbari Warrior" for the loser and the victor hasn't "actually" killed in any legal or religious sense. The degree to which this satisfies the viewer is no doubt up to them.

Delenn has decided to hold the initiation ceremony on Babylon 5, and Sheridan is happy to accommodate it. He gets a call from Ivanova about the telepath info, and he goes off to talk to her. After he leaves Neroon appears and confronts Delenn. He thinks Delenn is doing some sort of power play, and feels the Rangers would be better served with one of the Warrior Caste in charge, most likely him. He gives her one chance to step aside or he has sworn to use any and all means to stop her. As Lennier comes up, she turns for a second, and Neroon vanishes.
