10!!Custody Battle contains examples of:
11* ArgumentOfContradictions: Mojo and HIM get into this kind of bickering by the end, shouting "Is so!" and "Is not!" at each other over and over. It prompts the boys to tell them to shut up.
12* BananaPeel: The HumongousMecha is done in by the Mayor tossing a peel aside.
13* BigShutUp: The boys give one to both Mojo and HIM when they've finally had enough of their bickering.
14* BoxAndStickTrap: Mojo tried to use a remote control pickle to lure the Mayor into one. HIM ruins it at the last moment by distracting the Mayor with a Zeppelin-esque pickle.
15* ContinuityNod: Several events from previous episodes starring the Rowdyruff boys are referenced, including their original creation by Mojo way back in season 1 and HIM bringing them back.
16* EvenEvilHasStandards: Mojo is disgusted that HIM would hypnotize scientists into sending the Earth into the Sun, which would reduce all of them to nothing. Fortunately, HIM quickly undoes it with a flick of his wrist.
17* EvilVsEvil: Mojo Jojo vs HIM.
18* EvilerThanThou: The main plot of the episode is about Mojo and HIM trying to outdo each other in acts of evil.
19* HumongousMecha: Mojo gives one to the boys in an attempt to win them over.
20* InternalReveal: Mojo learns in this episode that the Rowdyruff Boys have been revived by HIM.
21* MindControlDevice: HIM uses a magic pan flute to get a group of scientists to activate a secret weapon that will launch Earth into the sun.
22* JerkassHasAPoint: Mojo isn’t exactly wrong to point out how foolish HIM’s plan to hypnotize scientists to send Earth into the Sun is, especially since it will reduce them to ash.
23* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The mayor ends up nude again when he crawls through a fence and his clothes are torn off.
24* OhCrap: Mojo over seeing the Rowdyruff Boys have been revived.
25* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After HIM insists that causing the destruction of the world is pure evil, Mojo calls the whole thing stupid.
26-->'''Mojo:''' Evil? How about stupid? Yes, thanks to your foolishness, we will be reduced to nothing! Nothing, like the amount of intelligence inside your head! Nothing, like the amount of respect I get after ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall six seasons on this show]]''!
27* RiddleForTheAges: Where were the Powerpuff Girls in this in episode when Mojo and HIM were causing trouble in Townsville?
28* TearsOfAwe: Mojo Jojo and HIM shed a ''stream'' tears of admiration, after a long EvilerThanThou argument, upon learning the Rowdyruff Boys' ultimate goal of simply destroying the Powerpuff Girls.
29--->'''Mojo''': "Why, that's the evilest thing I can imagine!"
30* TakingTheKids: Mojo and HIM both try to prove themselves the more evil (and thus better) father for the boys.
31* VillainEpisode: Mojo Jojo, HIM, and the Rowdyruff Boys are the focus of this episode, with the Powerpuff Girls only appearing in flashbacks. Even the typical heart-shaped ending is different to reflect this.

33!!The City of Nutsville contains examples of:
34* ActuallyPrettyFunny: As Blossom and Buttercup keep cracking jokes about Bubbles, the Professor noticeably has to resist openly laughing.
35* AsideGlance: Bubbles and Bullet over Blossom, Buttercup, and the Mayor making inane guesses about what the problem is.
36* BerserkButton: The squirrels aren't evil; it's just that the new statue was covering the pothole where they had stored their food.
37* TheBusCameBack: Bullet, the super-powered squirrel from Stray Bullet, makes a return appearance in this episode.
38* {{Irony}}: For once Bubbles’ squirrel speak is actually needed, and now she can’t use it. Buttercup even lampshades the irony of the situation.
39* LaserGuidedKarma: For laughing at Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup have to clean up the remains of the Mayor's statue that got destroyed.
40* LostVoicePlot: Bubbles gets stung by a bee inside her throat, and loses the ability to talk properly.
41* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: For once the girls are faced with a situation where Bubbles’ unique power of being able to talk to squirrels would really be useful. Unfortunately, she can’t do it because of the bee sting earlier.
42* TemptingFate: While she and Blossom are cleaning the debris of the Mayor’s statue that was destroyed, Buttercup mentions how it isn’t raining, only for it actually rain much to hers and Blossom’s dismay.
43* ZergRush: All the squirrels swarming the city.
