* TestosteronePoisoning: The Rowdyruff Boys embody every toxically masculine trait of preadolescent boys. They're significantly more violent than the girls and repeatedly call them "sissies." Inversely, their hatred of all things feminine turns out to be so great that the simple act of the girls being nice (in this case, an affectionate kiss on the cheek) does them in.

Added DiffLines:

* InternalDeconstruction: Prior to this episode, the girls have always been vastly more powerful than their opponents, and usually were only put on the ropes due to their opponents thinking outside the box. This episode asks the question 'what if they had to fight someone on their exact level?' And the result is not pretty, as the girls get absolutely trounced due to having ''no clue'' how to handle someone on their exact level.

Added DiffLines:

* CombatPragmatist: The big problem the girls have against the boys is the boys are much, much, ''much'' more willing to fight dirty than the girls are, having no problem with putting others in harms way to get the girls in a situation where they can easily hit them and the like.
