* FastForwardGag: Mojo fast-forwards through the part of his first plan when the Powerpuff Girls as dogs defeated his own Dobermans, stating they don't need to see it because it's stupid. We see the fight in fast-forward, with the girls annoyed at this, while Mojo repeat "stupid" throughout the fight, except one time he comments "Ooh, that's good..." when one dogs briefly grabbed Bubbles by the head and flailed her.

** NeverRecycleYourSchemes as it means your enemies will easily figure out what you're up to and foil it more quickly.
** The need to cover your previous mistakes will just create new ones that will be easily overlooked until it's too late.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mojo Jojo thought that he covered his bases by not turning the girls into dogs and armoring his butt so they couldn't bite him, causing him to drop the Anubis head. He failed to remember that they could just simply kick his butt.

* EpicFail: Mojo's attempt to avoid being defeated the same way instead leads him to overlook a glaring flaw in his "precautions", namely the Girls being free to kick his butt normally, leading to his plan to fail in a worse manner than it previously did.
* HistoryRepeats: Just like last time, Mojo's plan with the Anubis Head is foiled, reversing the transformation he inflicted on everyone in the world while turning him into a dog, though this time he just gets send to the pound instead of becoming the Girls's pet.

* BrainsVersusBrawn: Blossom and Buttercup can often fall into this dynamic as TheLeader & TheSmartGuy versus TheBigGuy. This episode focuses on their constant bickering with [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption brute force]] or [[TheStrategist well-thought plans]] to defeat giant monsters. However, neither strategy works giving the sheer size of this kaiju. What works instead ''[[TakeAThirdOption is Heart.]]'' Bubbles politely asks him to leave.
