Misuse of Hijacked By Ganon: This is when an old villain is behind a new one. The Mandy and Delightful Reaper plots happen at the exact same time. The Idiot Ball and Rule Of Funny examples lacks context and is too general. Misuse of Something Only They Would Say ("a character in disguise or otherwise hidden reveals himself to friends through saying something only he or she would say.") The Worf Effect doesn't apply in this scenario, since the battle between the Reaper and the Powerpuff Girls is not actually shown to the viewer. Therefore, the Reaper's superiority is not established until it's defeated.
