Line #5 Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS2E37DarkPlaza


1	K.O. and the heroes of the Plaza fight to save Lakewood Plaza Turbo with everything on the line.
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* ApologeticAttacker: Ms. Mummy catches K.O. trying to activate the Plaza's defense systems, and says "I'm so sorry..." as she prepares to blast him.
5	* ArtShift: The rebellion has an edgier art style.
6	* BeardOfSorrow: Mr. Gar instantly grows one after being depowered and surrendering to P.O.I.N.T.
7	* BossSubtitles:
8	-->'''Wrecking Ball: 'Bout to Wreck Stuff Up'''\
9	'''The Resistance: Literally Underground'''\
10	'''Perfect K.O. (As Long as K.O. and T.K.O. are in Balance)'''\
11	'''The Key to the Plaza: Important After All'''\
12	'''Legendary Defense System: Plazamo'''
13	* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Gar and Carol seemingly break up in the DownerBeginning, when Gar finds out that she was secretly working for P.O.I.N.T. and storms off angrily. During the final battle, both of them show up to take down the force field protecting Foxtail's ship, and as they're falling through the air, they both apologize for their mistakes (Carol for not telling him about P.O.I.N.T., and Gar for not even listening to her attempts to explain) and reconcile. It's clear by the end of the episode that they're back together.
14	* CallBack: K.O. and T.K.O. once again synchronize to form P.K.O., first seen in [[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS2E10TKOsHouse T.K.O.'s House]]. Based on Dendy's comment that his transformations are getting better, we can infer that they've practiced this synchronization offscreen more since then.
15	* ChekhovsGun: From all the way back in Season 1's "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E35Plazalympics Plazalympics]]". The key to the Plaza that K.O.'s team got (and Colewort has been holding onto) for winning the Plazalympics turns out to be necessary to activate the defense system. After a second of confusion, Rad and Enid remember this and even lampshade it with "[[BreakingTheFourthWall Oh yeah, Plazalympics, Season 1]]".
16	* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Crinkly Wrinkly was correct back in "Legends of Mr. Gar" when he said the plaza was actually a giant robot named Plazamo, proving that his story was anything but exaggeration.
17	* CurbStompBattle: Boxman shows up after the final battle is over to try to steal the glorbs. The heroes aren't at all fazed, and after Foxtail throws K.O. at Boxman, he takes him down easily in one hit.
18	* CynicismCatalyst: Though he's not directly name-dropped, it's made clear that Laserblast's disappearance and apparent death was this for Foxtail. She blames herself for what happened to him, feeling it could have been avoided if she'd been a better leader, and this was why she became the WellIntentionedExtremist who carries the weight of the world alone that she is today.
19	* DePower: Foxtail has a ray that can remove a hero's power, at low levels its just temporary but higher levels or multiple shots can depower a person for good.
20	* DownerBeginning: The episode opens with the plaza getting occupied by P.O.I.N.T., and Mr. Gar leaving in shame after getting depowered.
21	* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Carol points out that for all she never told Mr. Gar that she was still in P.O.I.N.T, he never questioned it when she just turned up one day and opened her dojo right next to his store. Gar admits he didn't, because he just wanted to think he'd gotten lucky for once in his life.
22	* EveryoneKnowsMorse: While trying to unlock the blueprints to Lakewood Plaza Turbo, Dendy recognizes the tune that's playing as Morse code that spells out the password.
23	* EyeCatch: The double-length episode has an Anime-style bumper in the middle.
24	* EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: Crinkly Wrinkly wears an eyepatch as a member of the Resistance.
25	* FastballSpecial: Foxtail helps K.O. stop Lord Boxman from stealing the glorbs by throwing him at Boxman.
26	* FinaleCredits: An exciting instrumental version of the opening theme song is played over the closing credits.
27	* GraffitiOfTheResistance: The tunnels of the plaza are covered in triangular graffiti put up by the resistance members.
28	* GreyRainOfDepression: It starts raining when Foxtail demolishes the Plaza.
29	* HeelRealization: When Carol and Gar get Foxtail to see that trying to protect the world by herself was her mistake, and that she needs support rather than power, Foxtail realizes that this is the reason that, no matter how much power she gained, she never felt like it was enough. She tells the heroes that they can have the Plaza and glorbs back, gives a genuine apology for all that she's done, and steps down as P.O.I.N.T.'s leader.
30	* HeroicSacrifice: Taking Foxtail's words to heart Elodie ends the battle by allowing the mega de-power laser to not only hit the ship but Foxtail and herself directly. Luckily Elodie was already acting against Foxtail and had significantly lowered the power of the laser.
31	* HumongousMecha: The plaza can turn into one by the name of Plazamo.
32	* IronicEcho: Foxtail justifies firing the depowering ray at Plazamo when K.O., Rad and Enid are still there by saying "What's a couple of sacrifices for the greater good?" Elodie later uses the same line on her when she opens the cockpit hatch so the reflected depowering ray hits them.
33	* InternalReveal: Mr. Gar learns that Carol is still a member of P.O.I.N.T.
34	* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: Colewort's key to the plaza (which he received in "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E35Plazalympics Plazalympics]]") activates Plazamo, thus making it the literal key to the plaza.
35	* LaResistance: A small rebel group led by K.O. waits for 2 months to begin their rebellion. It consists of K.O., Enid, Rad, Dendy, Red Action, A Real Magic Skeleton, Brandon, Sparko, Colewort, Ginger, Chameleon Jr., and Crinkly Wrinkly.
36	* LaughTrack: The opening is sitcom-style, complete with laugh track.
37	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Foxtail realizes the error of her ways, she sincerely apologizes for the damage she's caused.
38	* NotWhatISignedOnFor: Carol refuses to work with P.O.I.N.T. when Foxtail tries to take over the Plaza and turn it into a glorb processing plant.
39	* PostFinalBoss: Boxman shows up to steal all the glorbs after the heroes have defeated Foxtail and she's had her HeelRealization. He's not much of a "boss fight", as K.O. [[CurbStompBattle beats him in one hit]], sending him flying back to Boxmore and causing [[StuffBlowingUp the entire place to explode]].
40	* ThePowerOfFriendship: K.O. and his friends work together to get him to the manually-activated Plaza defense system. When the on-off switch fails to do anything, K.O. name-drops the trope, lamenting that the power of friendship has failed.
41	* TimeSkip: After the DownerBeginning, the story jumps two months later after P.O.I.N.T. has taken over the Plaza.
42	* UnfoldingPlanMontage: A tongue-in-cheek one of these covers K.O.'s plan to get to the power supply for the Plaza defense system and turn it on.
43	* WhamEpisode: A lot happens in this episode that makes it a very important, can't-miss episode. For example, Foxtail steps down as the leader of P.O.I.N.T and Elodie takes her place. Also, all the heroes get upgrades on their pow cards, and Mr. Gar allows K.O., Enid, and Rad to join him on his secret missions.
44	* YouAreInCommandNow: Foxtail steps down as head of P.O.I.N.T., and names Elodie as her successor due to being impressed by her gutsiness, integrity, and brains.
