5	The 100th chapter shows everyone competing in the Bonesborough Brawl ready to fight, and huge secrets are revealed.
6
7	----
8	!!Tropes that appear in this chapter:
9	* AlasPoorVillain: As Emily is DraggedOffToHell, she calls out for Cross. When she still gets pulled into the Underworld despite his efforts to save her, there are tears in her eyes.
10	* AllYourColorsCombined: B.I.G.'s CombinationAttack against Mel, complete with all eight members shouting their attacks which include their respective colors.
11	* AssholeVictim:
12	** Skrap gets flung into a house of shark demons who accuse him of wearing "sharkface" due to his shark-themed helmet and is beaten up as a result.
13	** Emily, who got praised as the Golden Guard, is disgraced when her SecretIdentity is exposed and Mel "exacts justice" on her by sending her to the Underworld to rot suffering from nightmares.
14	* BatmanGambit: Amity decides to have Sam act as her backup during her matches and pass it off as shadow magic. It works up until the finals, where Mel has learned Amity's secret and captures Sam, leading to her revealing Amity's fae identity.
15	* BeenThereShapedHistory: Once Mel confesses to being a goddess, she also proudly claims responsibility for causing the most devastating riots in Human history, including Amsterdam, the French Revolutions, the 1938 Chicago Riots, and the LA Riots.
16	* BigNo: Cross shouts one as Emily falls into the Underworld before the hole in the ground she fell into closes up.
17	* BodyHorror: Amity's first attempt to turn Dolly back to normal leads to Dolly coming out so disfigured, it scares Amity, Luz, and Kadabe and warrants an immediate change back into her doll form.
18	* TheBusCameBack:
19	** Scab the All-Knowing shows up for the Brawl as per canon after his debut in "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter21 Prelude to War: Part 2]]".
20	** Dolly and Kadabe are seen for the first times since the end of the Glandus War in "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter26 What is it Good For?]]"
21	* CallBack:
22	** Once again, Hades is referred as a cheapskate. In fact, [[Recap/LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter4 Luz's encounter with him as a whole]] is referenced.
23	** Amity remembers Puck being controlled by the Inner Demon after learning [[Recap/LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter11 the Inner Demon double-crossed Dolly]]. This is how she learns how to turn Dolly back to normal.
24	** Eclipsa confronts Belos, who she mentions [[Recap/LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter47 had promised to take care of her daughter]].
25	* CallingYourAttacks: BIG as they attack Mel together.
26	-->'''Alburno/Red Phoenix:''' Phoenix Clap!\
27	'''Venoma/Pink Viper:''' Poison Orochi!\
28	'''Skrap/Blue Shark:''' Boiling Shark!\
29	'''Thunder/Yellow Tiger:''' Electric Bolt Strike!\
30	'''Le'Belle/Green Cricket:''' Cricket Tunes!\
31	'''Joana/Orange Bear:''' Chainsaw Bear Attack!\
32	'''Scarmeron/Brown Hamster:''' Uh...Light Beam!\
33	'''Emily:''' [''with definite regret''] Golden Powerful Magic Blast!
34	* TheCavalry: Teams of scouts were sent with BIG to deal with the riots and Mel, but they can barely keep the crowd contained.
35	* ConversationalTroping: Luz near-perfectly namedrops the AndIMustScream trope when she says Dolly didn't deserve her fate.
36	* ContinuityCavalcade: Several characters from the Boiling Isles appear during the ending songs. In "Nobody's a Nobody", the characters currently on Earth are featured with those residing in Gravity Falls (including Mabel and Stan), New York (the Longs, Team Dragon, and Randy) and California (the Plantar siblings, Sasha, Marco, Janna, and Jackie) are seen with Puck having the last line.
37	* CrazyPrepared: Graye sent Cross disguised as a scout along with TheCavalry to provide support for Emily and BIG.
38	* CrowdPanic: To establish her prowess as a riot starter hellbent on ruling the Isles, Mel brainwashes the crowd into both rioting and attacking the now exposed Amity for being a Fae.
39	* CurbStompBattle:
40	** In every one of their matches, Mel, Trini and D-Josh mop the floor with their opponents. The worst cases come from Trini savagely cutting Luz and throwing her out of the ring, while Mel got Simon to break his own arm and viciously attacked Warden Wrath after defeating him.
41	** Emily and BIG stand no chance against Mel, who avoids their initial CombinationAttack and their following ones before proceeding to utterly humiliate them, even saying that they're NotWorthKilling.
42	* DealWithTheDevil: Between two devils, no less. Belos has a deal with the Horned King that hinges on the Day of Unity succeeding, or else.
43	* DeathGlare: Luz and Boscha shoot a team glare at Hermit D. Fraug when he nearly mentions the trial during Amity's introduction.
44	* DenouementEpisode: This marks the end of the "Return to the Boiling Isles" arc.
45	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The shark family that attacks Skrap does so because they thought he was wearing "sharkface", which is highly offensive.
46	* DoubleTake: Amity has a moment when she hears that Camila suggested Hooty call Lilith to help with Kay while she was out, causing Camila to have one as well.
47	* DownerEnding: Thanks to Mel, mass chaos has erupted at the Bonesborough Brawl and the audience is manipulated into attacking Amity after the revelation that she's half-fae, which leads to Kitsuni stepping in to help her and Luz. King is snatched by somebody while Edric is knocked out, Donna begins to feel jealous that Nina has taken an interest in Lambi, Nina is injured saving Braxas during the riot, and Emily is sent to the Underworld to suffer her worst nightmares.
48	* DraggedOffToHell: Mel banishes Emily to the Underworld to be tortured by her greatest mistakes as her own kind of justice for everything Emily's done.
49	* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite what Dolly had done to her and Amity, Luz admits she thinks it isn't right for her to suffer a fate brought upon her by the Inner Demon.
50	* EvilerThanThou: Mel puts Emily in her place, first by utterly humiliating her and her team, then by exposing her and ultimately having her DraggedOffToHell to be subjected to a FateWorseThanDeath, cementing Mel as the far more dangerous antagonist.
51	* {{Expy}}:
52	** Hermit D. Fraug is an obvious stand-in to [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit the Frog]].
53	** Tracy Speedemon from Merlin Meadows is another [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP]]-inspired character, in this case Rainbow Dash.
54	** Perfect Gell is one to Perfect Cell from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', rather the versions from both WebAnimation/DevilArtemis and ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''.
55	** Driva Nago is one of Ivan Drago from ''Film/RockyIV'', [[PokemonSpeak his only saying]] "I will crush you" a nod to Drago's famous line and [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Groot]].
56	** The Punching Toad Brothers are alternate versions of the Frog Brothers from ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow''
57	** Jesse the orphan takes inspiration from Anne-Marie from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven''.
58	** Pickle-O is just a pickle demon based off of Piccolo from ''Manga/DragonBall''.
59	* FateWorseThanDeath: Emily gets subjected to this. Rather than be merely killed, she is sent to her own personal hell in the Underworld to be tortured for all eternity.
60	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
61	** Trini doesn't view Luz as a real cambion, implying the Cambion Theory doesn't apply to her and Belos.
62	** In response to the chaos Mel is causing, Terra wonders what '''he''' would think of her.
63	* GenreSavvy: Before telling Lambi about her history, Nina says it's better Lambi learned it from her now because the last thing Nina needed is to experience a cliche "LiarRevealed" moment.
64	* TheGhost:
65	** Beocrow's mentioned when Camila instructs Hooty to call him to come help Hooty and Acorn with Kay in case they need it.
66	** Brucy is brought up when Hooty decides to go check on him.
67	* GivenNameReveal: Cups and Mugs' last names are Holder.
68	* HistoryRepeats: For the ''third'' time, a huge secret about Amity has been made public knowledge by some bitch, which leads to public mustrust like after the petrification ceremony. And like when Felicia outed her as nameless, all of Amity's friends are shown having a MassOhCrap reaction to the bad news.
69	* IShallTauntYou: Both D-Josh and Trini do this to Amity during their matches against her. Of course, it blows up in their faces when [[BerserkButton they decide to insult Luz]], resulting in both of their defeats.
70	* ImmortalApathy: Mel doesn't care about how mortals get hurt due to her actions, only caring about getting them to worship her like in the old days when gods were revered.
71	* InSpiteOfANail: Scab loses in the first match of the Brawl, as does the Flexocutioner, who's blasted out of the arena.
72	* InternalReveal:
73	** Nina explains her past and bad history with Boscha to Lambi.
74	** Willow finds out about the Vaggie illusion (and thus, what Vaggie looks like), and in turn, Gus reveals how he killed Michael by accident.
75	** Boscha, Donna and Lambi hear Maya's voice, but don't actually learn about her.
76	** Mel admits to Amity that she had Trini orchestrate Lilith and Odalia's affair.
77	** Everyone learns that Mel is a Fae as well as a goddess, with Luz realizing she's Hades' daughter and the instigator of the riot at the Coven Day parade.
78	** Mel outs Amity as being a Fae after seeing Sam, along with exposing Emily as the Golden Guard stand-in, to the rest of the Isles.
79	** Luz and Amity meet Kadabe for the first time and learn that she's been looking after Dolly's doll.
80	** Dolly confesses to Luz and Amity that she helped the Inner Demon because he promised her eternal youth.
81	* JerkassHasAPoint: Once Mel tells Amity about her masterminding the affair in the final match, Amity blames her for splitting apart her family. Mel just says that her family was falling apart long before she came into their lives.
82	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Seeing that Mel's far above the kind of people they're used to fighting, Luz decides to hide out in the Human Realm in order to protect Amity from anyone who'd attack her now that her being half-fae is out in the open.
83	* LackOfEmpathy: Edric shows concern for Cups and Mugs over how D-Josh took them down and later Trini when Amity subjects her to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown over her brutal battle against Luz, but he doesn't really comment on the latter at all. Even when he calls out Boscha on when she nearly got Luz killed before, he doesn't actually show Luz any sympathy.
84	* LaserGuidedKarma:
85	** Trini brutally injures Luz in their match, resulting in Amity wailing on her in theirs and leaving her bruised and with a lost tooth. It doubles as payback for drugging Lilith and Odalia so they had an affair and took pictures of it to split up her parents, but Amity doesn't see it as this until Mel told her about it.
86	** Subverted with Mel. Amity attempts to stab her with the Sword of Adam for the above reasons after learning Mel's a fae. Unfortunately, she learns that since Mel's also the daughter of a death god, it doesn't do anything to her.
87	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Hooty decides to go find Brucy as he hasn't heard from him in a while. The last time Brucy appeared was at the end of the Glandus War like Dolly and Kadabe.
88	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Since Viney and Emira were busy with taking down Firebees and taking Leni/Loona to Dr. Bride, they are completely unaware of what went down at the Brawl.
89	* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: Mel establishes herself as a dangerous adversary for the heroes by getting rid of former ArcVillainess Emily, demonstrating her power by sending Emily to the Underworld.
90	* MassOhCrap: All of Luz's friends react in shock and concern after seeing Mel out Amity as a fae and causing the riot at the Brawl.
91	* NamedByTheAdaptation: The purple nurse demon first seen in "Wing It Like Witches" is dubbed Aries Hornston.
92	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: As payback for injuring Luz, Amity cuts Trini's hair, then traps her in abomination matter strengthened by Sam to punch her in the face until she knocks out a tooth and sends her out of the ring.
93	* NoSell: Amity tries to stab Mel with her sword to finish her, but being a death god's kid means she's immune to iron. When BIG fires off their CombinationAttack at her, she easily dodges it with no indication that it even made contact.
94	* NotWorthKilling: Mel spares all of BIG after curb-stomping every single one of their members, saying this in-vertabim.
95	* OnlyOneFindsItFun: Only one person on the Boiling Isles would be psychotic enough to enjoy Mel's anarchy who wasn't part of her gang, and that's Terra. She gives Mel props for doing what she does, and gleefully wonders how Belos would respond to everything.
96	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: For the first time ever, Luz knows she can't win a fight and decides it would be smarter to disappear and lay low than to take on a god with no chances of ''surviving''.
97	* PointOfDivergence: For the second half of "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E14ReachingOut Reaching Out]]", Luz faces Scab the All-Knowing in the first match of the Bonesborough Brawl while Amity faces Goregon and the Flexocutioner is Mel's opponent. Warden Wrath isn't mentioned to have been demoted, and isn't prodded for information on the Day of Unity since Eda's not around and actually gets to fight, only to lose. Amity makes it to the finals, but doesn't pull out the win.
98	* PrecisionFStrike: Nina lets one out when she sees Goregon competing in the Brawl.
99	* TheReveal:
100	** After the Scarfish incident, Roxy started training in Construction Creation, a fighting style that enables her to create a stone statue of herself known as "Giga-Rox".
101	** Goregon was bailed out of prison by Arthur and Destiny to sponsor Blight Industries in the Brawl.
102	** The skeletons sitting at Kadabe's table were fakes.
103	** Trini knows that Belos is a cambion, but she doesn't really consider him or Luz as such because they don't have demon heritage like her.
104	** Mel is revealed to be Hades and Maleficent's daughter, and she somehow knows about Luz's encounter with her dad.
105	** Mel somehow learned that Emily was the Golden Guard.
106	** Eclipsa left Meteora in Philip's care before she was crsyatalized.
107	** Leni is actually a hellhound, her real name is Loona, and Blazer was the one who stabbed her.
108	* SayMyName: Emily shouts Cross's name as she's DraggedOffToHell.
109	* SellOut
110	* ShamefulStrip: During her song, Mel strips Emily of the Golden Guard uniform, leaving her wearing nothing but the black onesie she had on underneath.
111	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Mel tends to talk fast not unlike her father, Hades.
112	* ShoutOut:
113	** D-Josh's fight against the Holder Brothers is based off the genie boss battle from ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}''.
114	** Leni turns out to be Loona the hellhound from ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss''.
115	** The song Mel performs is the reprise to [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} "Prince Ali"]].
116	** The [[SongParody song parodies]] in the end are "I Love The World" from the Creator/DiscoveryChannel campaign, and [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball "Nobody's A Nobody"]].
117	* SwappedRoles: Luz was once the HotBlooded girl who'd jump at the opportunity to fight for someone she cared about and Amity would hold her back. Now Luz has to hold Amity back as she tries to go find Edric and forgetting that she is now considered a threat.
118	* TitleSequence: As part of the celebration, the 100th chapter includes the latest intro sequence for the arc.
119	* TheUnReveal:
120	** Who were the two shadowy figures, and why were they interested in Luz, Amity, Simon, and Nina?
121	** In the last chapter, Serpentina and Eustace are helping Jackson with something. Does that mean they're the ones who stole Donna's keyblade, and kidnapped King and Edric?
122	** What deal did Belos strike with the Horned King that has to do with the Day of Unity's success?
123	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Kadabe told Amity about the use of shadow magic: this gave her and Sam the idea to have Sam help her in fights which led to Mel catching them. As such, Kadabe's responsible for Amity being exposed as part-fae.
124	* VillainRevealsTheSecret: Once Sam is captured, Mel announces to the crowd (more specifically Edric) that Amity's half-Fae. Because the Brawl's being broadcast to the entirety of the Isles, this results in everybody learning the truth.
125	* WhamEpisode: The Bonesborough Brawl ends with no winner as Mel, revealing herself as a half-Fae, half-goddess hybrid, exposes Amity as a Fae and Emily as the Golden Guard, brainwashes the crowd into rioting, and sends Emily to the Underworld. King and Edric are taken by unknown individuals with Edric getting knocked out, someone steals Donna's key, Amity turns Dolly back to normal at Kadabe's request, and Kitsuni and Mai arrive to aid Luz and Amity. Eclipsa meets with Belos at his castle as he orders a lockdown until Mel is dealt with, and Leni is revealed to be Loona.
126	* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: GenderInverted and played with. Everyone questions (some directly) Edric on why he would associate with Mel and her friends even though they're clearly menaces, unaware that Mel's control over him has grown too powerful.
