3
4!!Tropes
5* AllGirlsLikePonies: Serenity opens the ObviouslyEvil door ''twice'' just because he promised her that she'd find ponies on the other side.
6* BigNo: Tristan upon realizing that [[spoiler: he is now a robot monkey]].
7* DramaticIrony: You probably gathered from the title that Tristan is going to die at some point in the episode. Tristan's obliviousness to this is milked for all it's worth.
8* ExactWords: As shown in a flashback, when Kaiba shut down Nesbitt’s research lab, he agreed to reconsider. As in, he reconsiders his decision to renovate the lab, and [[StuffBlowingUp instead blows it to kingdom come]].
9* HeroicSacrifice: Tristan does one for Du- erm, [[IMeantToDoThat Serenity]].
10* LogicBomb: The heroes try to pull one on Nesbitt. They eventually pull it off by [[spoiler: showing him the official artwork of the [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal new Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist]].]]
11* LoveTriangle: Resolved: [[spoiler: Serenity chooses Tristan over Duke because she loves him emotionally rather than just physically. Duke is just fine with that.]]
12* ThePowerOfLove: Tristan discovers that ''this'' is what gives him super strength, [[CallBack not his voice]].
13* SayMyName: The evil door does this on repeat to Tristan.
14* ShoutOut:
15** "I love you!" "[[Franchise/StarWars I know]]."
16** "Big brother, I don't want to be on Tatooine, people might mistake me for a Jawa!"
17* SureLetsGoWithThat: Tristan accidentally saves Serenity while trying to defend Duke. When he realizes this increases his chances with her, however, he immediately pretends it was intentional.
18* ThemeTune: The characters engage in a "theme music battle". Nesbitt's theme is a parody of Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, Duke's is (of course) "Sexy Back", and Serenity's is the Franchise/MyLittlePony theme.
19* TotallyRadical: The VillainOfTheWeek aims to make Tristan, Duke, and Serenity into more marketable characters, which he hopes to accomplish by giving them "sunglasses, skateboards, and plenty of attitude".
20* WontTakeYesForAnAnswer: Tristan after suggesting a game of TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}.
21-->'''Duke:''' Only if I can be the dog.\
22'''Tristan:''' I'm always the dog!\
23'''Duke:''' Okay, I'll be the car.\
24'''Tristan:''' I'm always the car!
