* RevengeBeforeReason: Maya knows that her plan to cross the Diving Gate and kill the god of war is crazy, but she's so angry and hurt by her brothers' deaths that she's willing to do anything, even lie to her new friends and potentially lead them to their deaths, if it means avenging her brothers. Zatz calls her out on this, followed by Rico, Chimi, and Picchu when they learn the truth.

!!Tropes present in the episode:
* CrazyJealousGuy: Picchu takes an immediate dislike to Zatz not because the he's a member of the underworld, but because of his looks:
-->'''Picchu:''' Picchu no like one-eye {{pretty boy}}. Too fancy.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Picchu had a pretty normal (by Barbarian standards) life, until one day his village was attacked by a band of mysterious warriors. Picchu had their leader dead to rights, but spared her when she promised to leave and never return. Instead, she returned the very next day with a bigger army, and slaughtered everyone ''except'' Picchu, whom she torments by [[NotWorthKilling denying him a warrior's death]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Picchu crushes Chimi's hand and shakes her up and down when she offers him a handshake. Rico tries to avoid being turned into an impromptu metronome by holding out Estefan for Picchu to fistbump, but Picchu sends him tumbling several meters back as if he were hit by a MegatonPunch.
-->'''Rico:''' ''(outraged)'' You're supposed to just ''tap it''!!
* DoNotGoGentle: Picchu tells his new friends that despite seeking a warrior's honorable death he doesn't intend to just give up; instead, he's going to keep fighting as hard as he can and for as long as he can.
* DumbMuscle: The Barbarians may talk in HulkSpeak, but they aren't stupid. Case in point: they're the only tribe who [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decides to evacuate]] rather than take their chances and hope that the god of war won't attack them after he's done destroying the Tecas.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Maya and Chimi ogle a [[FemaleGaze shirtless Picchu]], and happily watch him bathe under a waterfall. It's implied from their wide-eyed looks when Picchu exits the water that they got a ''very'' good look at him.
* FailedASpotCheck: Maya and Zatz have a playful yet quite destructive duel close to the campsite, which predictably draws the attention of Rico, Chimi, and Picchu. However, the two of them remain oblivious to the fact that they have an audience until Rico speaks up.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: The unnamed warrior uses the tale of the frog and the scorpion to explain why she returned and slaughtered Picchu's people even though she promised him that he would never see her again.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During Picchu's introductory scenes, Chimi and Rico can be seen having entire conversations through FacialDialogue in the background while Maya and Picchu are talking in the foreground.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Zatz tells Maya that not all being of the underworld are monsters, only to immediately transform into a swarm of bats.
-->'''Maya:''' You know that is ''exactly'' what a monster would do, right?
* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Zatz doesn't even bother finding an excuse; he just remarks that Maya and her friends have a lot to talk about and makes a hasty exit after inadvertently revealing to Rico, Chimi, and Picchu that Maya has been lying to them about their quest.
* LoveAtFirstPunch: Downplayed in that Maya was already starting to warm up to Zatz after he saved her life in Episode 2 and warned her about Hura and Can in Episode 4, but refused to admit it to him. Here, she drops the façade and treats their sparring match like an extended flirting session, smiling at him throughout and playfully accusing him of having an "unfair advantage" over her when the fight ends in a draw.
* NotAfraidToDie: Maya flat-out asks Picchu if he's a DeathSeeker and joined her quest intending to pull a SuicideByCop. Picchu tells his new friends that he doesn't ''intend'' to die; [[DoNotGoGentle he will fight to the end]], whatever that may be. If he survives the quest, that's good; if he has to pull a HeroicSacrifice so his friends can live, that's also good.
* NotWorthKilling: The warrior lets Picchu live after killing his whole village, taunting him that unlike them he's not worthy of dying a warrior's death and should instead live with the shame of his failure to stop her.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Maya knows that her plan to cross the Diving Gate and kill the god of war is crazy, but she's so angry and hurt by her brothers' deaths that she's willing to do anything, even lie to her new friends and potentially lead them to their deaths, if it means avenging her brothers. Zatz calls her out on this, followed by Rico, Chimi, and Picchu when they learn the truth.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Barbarians' plan for dealing with the war between the Tecas and the god of war is to pack everything up and go as far away as they can. As the Barbarian King tells Maya, they love fighting but they're not stupid enough to fight against the actual GodOfWar.
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: Picchu has zero qualms undressing in front of a trio of new acquaintances and taking a long bath while they watch.
* UngratefulBastard: Picchu shows mercy to the female warrior (implied to be a goddess in disguise) he defeats in the opening battle. In return, she comes back to the village and slaughters everyone.
* VillainRevealsTheSecret: Zatz calls Maya out for lying to her friends about destroying the Divine Gate, to which Maya angrily responds that she doesn't care because she ''must'' avenge her brothers. Both are unaware that Rico, Chimi, and Picchu are nearby and can hear every word.
