* MagnificentBastard: [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Jaguar]] is a highly skilled and brutal freedom fighter who was imprisoned at a Russian Agency for his crimes against toppling his oppressive government. Taking a deal to earn the freedom of himself and his daughter, Katarina, he hunts down and goes against the Pickle-formed [[Characters/RickAndMortyRickSanchez Rick Sanchez]], using his [[GunFu acrobatics and gunship]] to stand on even ground. Realizing the agency lied about his daughter being alive, Jaguar teams up with Rick and tricks the agency director into calling a helicopter, the two hijacking the plane and blowing up the agency building, with the two of them parting on amicable terms. In TheStinger, Jaguar appears and [[BigDamnHeroes saves]] Rick and Morty from Concerto, sharing a nod before he leaves, ending up one of the few characters who [[WorthyOpponent gained Rick’s respect]].

* HilariousInHindsight: This episode was clearly designed as a parody of ''Film/JohnWick''. Within the episode, the Russians release Jaguar with the task of killing Rick [[IHaveYourWife using his captured daughter as leverage.]] In ''Film/JohnWickChapter4'', released 6 years after this episode aired, this scenario happens pretty much exactly as described, with the Marquis summoning Caine to kill John Wick using his daughter as leverage.
