8!!Tropes:
9
10* BackupBluff: When the orphans realize Taranis is completely believing every story they tell him, they defeat him by telling him he is cursed to eternally fight and lose to Puss in Boots but never remember it. When Puss shows up, he flees in terror.
11* BlowYouAway: Taranis' magic wheel allows him to create powerful winds.
12* ContinuityCavalcade: The stories the Orphans tell are all corrupted versions of events in past episodes. At one point Kid Pickles even tells a story of "a time when Puss in Boots had to face all the bad guys from his past", featuring [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS02E02Moles the Mole King and his army]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS01E07Bravery El Moco]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS01E08Golem the Golem]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS02E04Bees the Piper]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS01E04Duchess the Duchess]], a band of thieves, [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS01E15Luck donkey ears included]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS02E03Mermaid Feejee]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS02E06Spells Owlberto]], [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS01E11Mouse Fartholomew Fishflinger]], and [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfPussInBootsS01E10Sword the Thriffith wielding the Scimitar]].
13* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: It seems the entire town of San Lorenzo has at least one moment like this each as they all together manage to find nearly every missing treasure in just one day.
14* ShaggyDogStory: The orphans go to extreme lengths to prevent Taranis from entering the San Lorenzo vault, as they expect his missing scepter to be one of the treasures inside that they need for the spell, [[spoiler:[[WeCouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot but it turns out the scepter is actually the weather vane on Artephius' shop]].]] Cue Kid Pickles pulling a {{Facepalm}}.
15* ShockAndAwe: Taranis has this power to a limited extent, but he would be much better at it if he had his scepter back.
