Line #11 Recap/BigHero6TheSeriesS2E08SomethingFluffy


1	Liv Amara releases a swarm of adorable creatures called Mayoi into the city, but they're not as harmless as they appear.
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Karmi first identifies the Mayoi as fungi, then claims they are part plant, part animal. Fungi are actually neither plants nor animals.
5	* AllAnimalsAreDogs: The medium-sized Mayoi basically act like a BigFriendlyDog, showing behaviours like tail-wagging and playing fetch. Their original, cute forms act more like [[CuteKitten kittens]], whereas their final, giant forms act [[BearsAreBadNews bear-like]].
6	* BoxAndStickTrap: Big Hero 6 use one to try and trap a Mayoi.
7	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Krei is annoyed that Amara is getting all the attention at the Q&A, even though Hiro is unsubtly making accusations towards Amara.
8	-->'''Amara:''' Okay, since you're an intern at Krei-Tech, I have some questions for ''you'', Hiro--\
9	'''Krei:''' Yeah, why aren't ''you'' asking ''me'' questions, intern?!
10	* CutenessProximity: The Mayoi are so adorable even stoic hardasses like [=GoGo=] and Granville coo like little girls in their presence.
11	* EngineeredHeroics: Liv creates the Mayoi, have them turn into monsters, gets Mr. Sparkles to take the credit for the attacks, then create a formula to stop him all to get the public on her side. However, this also causes the rest of Big Hero 6 to agree with Hiro that she is behind the attacks.
12	* FalseFlagOperation: Liv gets Mr. Sparkles to claim responsibility for the monster attacks while she helps to foil him, thereby throwing any suspicion off herself. Big Hero 6 doesn't buy it for a moment, but the rest of the public does.
13	* FinishDialogueInUnison: Hiro is able to accurately predict how Liv will finish a response in the Q&A session, because roughly 90% of her public statements are meaningless platitudes.
14	* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Wasabi insists he won't be taken in by the Mayoi's cuteness, only to fall for the one the others managed to catch mere seconds later.
15	* InternalReveal: Hiro suspects Liv is behind the recent monster attacks. The rest of Big Hero 6 agrees with him after the events of the episode.
16	* MiracleGroMonster: The Mayoi start out cute and fluffy, but when exposed to sunlight and food, they become...still cute cute and fluffy, but much bigger.
17	* MonsterProtectionRacket: Liv Amara creates the Mayoi that grow to giant size and wreck the city, then shows up with a serum that turns them back to their small and cute forms. This way she can present herself as a hero while Mr. Sparkles takes credits for all the monsters.
18	* NonMaliciousMonster: The Mayoi display no real aggression and are very friendly in their natural state, even when they grow to large sizes, allowing Big Hero 6 to easily herd them. Unfortunately, this only lasts until Mr. Sparkles takes direct control of them.
19	* PeopleJars: In the stinger, Amara goes into a containment room, where there's a stasis pod with what appears to be a young woman inside.
20	* {{Planimal}}: The Mayoi are plant-based creatures that can grow through photosynthesis as well as through consuming food.
21	* PokemonSpeak: The Mayoi only say "mayoi", which is why the people of San Fransokyo call them that.
22	* ShoutOut: The Mayoi, with their {{Planimal}} appearance, PokemonSpeak and three different forms (tiny cute ones, human-sized ones and giant monstrous ones) resemble a grass-type Franchise/{{Pokemon}}.
23	* StockSoundEffects: The roar of the giant Mayoi is the same stock monster roar used multiple times for Monster!Orso Knox.
24	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Hiro very reluctantly accepts Liv's help in dealing with the Mayoi, since she's the only viable option at the moment.
25	* VillainousRescue: Just when Big Hero 6 get cornered by the Mayoi, Amara comes in with her serum and helps turn them back into their normal forms, playing hero and throwing blame for the attacks on Mr. Sparkles.
