4	''Algicosathlon Rises'', also known as ''[=NotScotish=] Algicosathlon'' is a WebAnimation of the WebAnimation/{{Algicosathlon}} genre, produced by [=NotScotish=], which debuted in his WebSite/YouTube in July 4th, 2020. It lasted for two seasons, ending its original run in August 13th, 2022. The show is notorious for mixing characteristics of both the Algicosathlon and WebComic/{{Polandball}} genres.
5
6	Like all Algicosathlons, the show's format is inspired on [[Creator/TheHuangTwins Cary Huang]]'s original Algicosathlon, along with other notable series of the genre, especially [=Dancingfb18=], Algorox and [=LucidSigma=].
7
8	The first season revolves around the contestants discovering the games they would have to play in order to win Algicosathlon and the million dollars. It was mostly non-serious, with more slice-of-life action. Its first episode was aired in the aforementioned July 4th, 2020; while its last episode aired in November 14th of the same year, premiering to mixed reviews from the Algodoo community.
9
10	The [[DarkerAndEdgier second]] season was a more serious installment, that focused more on the worldbuilding and emotional aspects of the franchise, opening many lore opportunities and an immense MythArc involving the show's entire world. The season premiered in January 1st, 2021; and met its end in the already mentioned August 13th, 2022. It was much more praised than the first season, although not without its criticisms.
11
12	Despite its end, the series has a confirmed [[GenreShift non-Algicosathlon]] RomanticComedy {{Midquel}} in development stage, called ''You and I'', which is set to air in June 2024.
13
14	Not to be confused with NoTrueScotsman, which is a logical phallacy based on imposing rules based on just being part of a group.

17
18	!!Tropes present in the main series (Algicosathlon Seasons 1 and 2):
19	* AbsurdPhobia: Cobalt has many of these, including other contestants and the GROUND. This is the setup for his FaceYourFears plot later on in Season 2.
20	* ADayInTheLimelight: Episodes near a rejoin mean that the eliminated contestants are guaranteed to appear in at least one skit.
21	** Season 1's episodes 10, 11, 13 and 17 show the eliminated contestants' routine and dynamics.
22	*** A special case was Aqua gaining some lines in Season 1 Episode 9, despite having been eliminated 6 episodes earlier.
23	* ADogNamedDog: All characters are named accordingly to their color.
24	* AfterTheEnd: By 4040, the sun has been blown up and brought back.
25	* AnimationBump: Season 2's animation is considerably more fluid than Season 1's.
26	* ArcNumber: 4. It was the number of ArtifactsOfDoom that Periwinkle produced and utilized, and also a part of Spraymatic 214 and the 4040 world.
27	* ArcSymbol: Almost all Season 1 contestants have a symbol associated to them. [[note]]Red- a megaphone; Maroon- the letter "M" and a basketball; Orange- a [[HeartSymbol heart]]; Yellow- the sun; Tan- a trophy; Lime- a hammer; Green- a flute; Olive- waffles and an olive; Blue- a medical cross; Navy- rainy clouds; Cyan- a mountain; Purple- a book of jokes; Lavender- the moon; White- a triangle; Magenta- a time machine; Black- a raindrop, Grey- a prohibition sign. Aqua doesn't have symbols associated to him.[[/note]]
28	** The show has also started on July 4th, of 2020, meaning both the day and the year of the premiere sum up to four.
29	* ArtifactOfDoom: The Spraymatic 214, able to corrupt a character's personality.
30	* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: The 4040 4-screen Iphone is brought as a more eye-friendly phone, when it would provide the opposite effect in real life.
31	* AscendedExtra: Polandball was seen as a crazy guy at his first appearance, but quickly proves important to the show's MythArc.
32	* AudienceParticipation: The viewers would normally vote on rejoins, and, until mid-Season 2, send fanart to the contestants. This was [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] later on as a part of the show's CerebusSyndrome, but mostly due to its BrokenBase.
33	* BadassCape: [=NotScotish=] and Polandball have these after they start fighting for the army in Scaloin. This is only seen in the [[WhereAreTheyNow last scene]].
34	* BaldOfEvil: No character has hair, including the villains Navy and Periwinkle.
35	* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: Ivory and Cobalt are revealed to have 2 children in the WhereAreTheyNow in the last episode.]]
36	* BerserkButton: Mentioning "Côte D'Ivoire" to [[TheVoiceless Ivory]] will result in an outburst, even if it is a silent one.
37	* BetaCouple: Green and Tan didn't really have many big moments, aside from their marriage.
38	** By season 2, Cyan and Blue have been pushed into this status, dilue to Blue being OutOfFocus as a result of being [[WeHardlyKnewYe eliminated first]].
39	* BigDamnHero: [=NotScotish=] appears right at the moment to fight Navy and Periwinkle over their evil actions, on course, saving all the contestants from them... for now.
40	* BigDamnReunion: Tan and Green during the first season's finale. As Tan says, it's been three months.
41	* BigNo: In Season 1 Episode 17. [[quoteblock]]'''Green''': Tan! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO![[/quoteblock]]
42	* BilingualBonus:
43	** There is an instance of Magenta speaking French in Season 1.
44	** "Boseru", Violet's native island, means "both" in Japanese.
45	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Black returns to normal in the last episode, but this costs Magenta's life, making him depressed again. However, Navy and Periwinkle are temporarily defeated, and all other characters live in relative peace.]]
46	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: The show takes every effort it can to present the heroes as purehearted and compassionate, and the villains as ultimately rotten beings. This was only subverted with two characters: [[AntiVillain Pink]] and [[DefrostingIceQueen Violet]].
47	* BlandNameProduct: Played straight with "Marblegram" and "Mbay", but averted with Google.
48	* {{Bookends}}: Season 1 both started and ended with explicit references to WebAnimation/{{Dancingfb18}}.
49	* BoringInsult: Maroon in Season 1 Episode 13: "You know who's so lame? Red and Navy". Although this was enough to put them off.
50	* BreakTheCutie: Several characters end up being negatively affected by the show, isolation, or other contestants' ruthlessness. This includes Yellow, Black, Orange, White, Magenta and Lavender. Some skits actually show that the eliminated contestants live better than the ones still in the competition.
51	* BulliedIntoDepression: Navy and Red's favourite target in Season 1 is Black, who, after enduring them for an entire season, starts to question his self-worth. It goes FromBadToWorse in Season 2 as [[spoiler: he gets corrupted and his love interest and soon-to-be girlfriend dies for him to return to normal]].
52	* BullyingADragon: Navy, Periwinkle, Red and White (these two formerly)'s main target is [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Black]].
53	* ButNotTooForeign: Violet is technically a foreigner, as she comes from Boseru Island, but she doesn't have any cultural gimmick based on it.
54	* ButtMonkey:
55	** Olive will either lose his waffles, get extremely full of them or both.
56	** Blue is also very prone to physical pain, especially in the first season.
57	* CardCarryingVillain: Navy and Red make it explicit that they're the bad guys in Season 1, with Periwinkle joining this club in Season 2.
58	* CerebusSyndrome: Season 2 was much more DarkerAndEdgier than Season 1, with more dramatic arcs and the characters gaining more awareness of their own problems and mortality.
59	* CharacterInTheLogo: Thumbnails for episodes would always include a specific character.
60	** Aside from that, "Algicosathlon S2"'s letters were colored according to the characters.
61	* CheerThemUpWithLaughter: Season 1 Episode 18's first few minutes involve Purple and Aqua trying to cheer Black up... to little success.
62	* ChristmasEpisode: Season 1 has the Christmas Special, its 21st episode.
63	* ClingyJealousGirl: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. Orange has had shades of this since Season 1, where, after only ONE interaction, she gets inquisitive about Lime liking Lavender. This evolves to their breakup caused by Lime's "alleged" cheating. However, she'll normally keep herself collected.
64	* ClusterBleepBomb: Grey has one of such scenes in Season 1 Episode 11, after discovering he had earned only five rejoin votes.
65	* ColorCharacter: The characters are distinguished by their colors.
66	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The characters' phones are all painted on their own colors.
67	* ConvenientEscapeBoat: Periwinkle and Navy use one of these to escape from NotScotish in the finale.
68	* CreateYourOwnHero: Navy and Periwinkle led to Black's corruption, which caused Magenta and NotScotish's HeroArc, along with the coming of Polandball.
69	* CrushBlush: Overused in the series, as basically all characters who have had a crush on another character had this.
70	* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: The world in 4040 has a shop is full of crystals on the outside.
71	* DarkerAndEdgier: Season 2, in comparison to Season 1.
72	* DeathIsCheap: It's revealed Bolivia has the power of recovering the dead. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when he loses this ability, leading to the show's CerebusSyndrome.]]
73	* DefrostingIceQueen: Violet starts out as a very negative, snarky FriendshipHatingVillain. She changes her ways after bonding and forming a good friendship with Orange.
74	* DisneyAcidSequence: In Season 1 Episode 14, White has one of these in a {{Flashback}}, where she finds a multi-colored GenieInABottle who gifts her the trademark triangular eyes.
75	* DifferentlyPoweredIndividual: According to the finale, 3% of the individuals have some sort of power. [[spoiler: Black, [=NotScotish=] and Bolivia are three of them.]]
76	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Red and Navy were a duo of like-minded pranksters, but they have gone in different paths through Season 2, as Navy partnered up with Periwinkle to harm more people while Red refrained from doing so, starting his CharacterArc.
77	* DumbassHasAPoint: Olive might be dim-witted, but, in Season 1 Episode 13, he not only inferred that the best way to stop Navy and Red would be pranking them back, but he orchestrated ThePlan in an EXTREMELY effective way. This makes him the first character in the ENTIRE SERIES to outwit a villain.
78	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: BreakingTheFourthWall was MUCH more common in the first season than in the second one.
79	** Many characters had different personalities, which were changed for the sake of drama. That's the case of Yellow, who had a 180 between being a chill, responsible girl, to a NervousWreck who CannotSpitItOut.
80	* EatingContest: Olive hosts one of these in the show's finale. The contestants are Grey, Maroon and Yellow.
81	* EjectTheLoser: All eliminated contestants end up being placed in a "recap" track and eventually thrown in the Elimination Box.
82	* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Olive [[ZigZaggedTrope zigzags]] this, as he is sometimes shown mispronouncing words and sometimes speaking them normally.
83	* EpicFail: Cyan and Blue do a RampJump in Season 1 Episode 16. She suceeds in the stunt, but he falls off the cliff they were jumping.
84	* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Lavender tried to throw a TrackingDevice on her with a slingshot, missed the throw, interrupted a pingpong in the Losers' Box to, by sheer probability, land it on Cyan's back.
85	* {{Expy}}: White was originally meant to be an expy of {{Dancingfb18}}'s Algicosathlon's Yellow. This was [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] by her in Season 1 Episode 1.
86	* ExtendableArms: White has these.
87	* ExoticEyeDesigns: White has triangular eyes.
88	* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Magenta took the fact that she would need to sacrifice herself for Black with a lot of dignity.]]
89	* FaceYourFears: Cobalt starts Season 2 as a panophobic scaredy-cat. By the passing of the episodes, he manages to get through his fears and social anxiety, and even [[spoiler: strikes up a relationship with fellow outcast Ivory.]]
90	* FanArt: From mid-season 1 to mid-season 2, a fanart would be sent to [=NotScotish=] in his Discord server, and later wheelpicked to appear in an episode. The suspension of these is a minor detail in the show's CerebusSyndrome.
91	* FictionalSocialNetwork: Marblegram is an example of this.
92	* {{Flashback}}: Uncommonly used in the show:
93	** One flashback, in Season 1 Episode 14, shows the story of White being bullied by the [[OneSceneWonder Golden Brothers]], and how she got her triangular eyes because of a GenieInABottle.
94	** Another one shows Violet's life in Boseru Island, and how she was friends with Lilac before being emotionally betrayed by her, with this being her FreudianExcuse for her FriendshipHatingAntagonist personality.
95	* ForeseeingMyDeath: Olive does this in Season 1 Episode 4 (although it was his own elimination, not death).
96	* FloweryElizabethanEnglish: Poland uses this form of English when talking to the other characters.
97	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Cobalt picking Ivory first to her team was a foreshadowing of [[spoiler: them hooking up after the season's end]].
98	* FormulaBreakingEpisode: The Christmas Skit is the only non-competitive episode.
99	** The cancelled VideoGame project called "Marble Fans: The Raid" would be the only non-animation episode.
100	* TheFuture: The world in 4040 is accessible by Magenta's house.
101	* TheFutureWillBeBetter: Complete peace, health and a thriving society.
102	* FanOfThePast: Magenta was born in the future, but decided to move to the past because she found a more fullfilling life there.
103	* FunnyForeigner: Magenta, to some extent. She isn't from another country, but from the future. She tries to hold this secret for a while, but it spills out in the end.
104	* GameShowPhysicalChallenge: All challenges count as these, although the fact that the constestants lose their sentience during the challenge time means that no challenge is specifically easy or hard.
105	* GenieInABottle: White finds one in a Season 1 Episode 14 flashback, who grants her one wish: standing out (which was granted with her ExoticEyeDesign.
106	* GravityIsPurple: [[DefiedTrope Defied]], as the only character able to GravityScrew in the series is Purple.
107	* GravityScrew: Purple constantly defies gravity when announcing "do you wanna hear a cool joke".
108	* GoneHorriblyWrong: Lavender's plan to track Cyan results on this when Magenta alerts her about it.
109	* GratuitousFrench: Magenta during Season 1 Episode 20: "Bonjour, Lavenda!"
110	* HappilyMarried: Green and Tan.
111	** [[spoiler: Ivory and Cobalt as of the WhereAreTheyNow in the last episode.]]
112	* HashtagForLaughs: "#LIMESUCKS!" from a deeply salty Navy after Lime rejoins.
113	* HatOfAuthority: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Cobalt, at the last scene, wears one, [[spoiler: and he is now a father]].
114	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Red as of the Christmas Special, as he apologizes for his mean antics, and gets to be an "official" part of the "good guys".]]
115	* HandWave: 4040 has all diseases' cures being bottled and distributed for free, along with many technology that can't be seen in the past. This ends up being the way Yellow is cured from her anxiety.
116	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Magenta does this for Black to be uncorrupted.]]
117	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Happens to some characters, but especially seen for Violet.
118	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Navy, and it's not because of his personality, but because "Algicosathlon Rises" it's, at most, a PG-rated series. Laser guns don't count.
119	* JerkJock: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] for Grey. He is a jock [[spoiler: and ends up as a basketball player]], seen as a jerk by half of the cast and is VERY snarky and grumpy, but not exactly mean-spirited.
120	* JetPack: Lime invented one of these for Cyan to use.
121	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Magenta, as a HeroicSacrifice for Black.]]
122	* LastMomentTogether: Magenta and White have a very [[TearJerker tearjerking]] last scene together, just as White managed to redeem herself and fully restore their friendship.
123	* TheLawsOfMagic: [=NotScotish=] explains his [[DifferentlyEmpoweredIndividual powers]] as "Scotland being a magical place". Although this gets subverted when Polandball explains some people are just born with powers.
124	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: [=NotScotish=] has a tendency to call the contestants "characters". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] due to Algicosathlon being a ShowWithinAShow
125	* LoveDoodles:
126	** Cyan holds one of these right after Blue gets eliminated in Season 2. However, this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] as it is quickly revealed that the doodle in question is a FanArt, included in the show for the sake of gratitude from [=NotScotish=].
127	** Black did one of these for Magenta in Season 2, giving it to her [[spoiler: right before he gets [[OneWingedAngel corrupted]]]].
128	* LuckBasedMission: Algicosathlon events and eliminations are COMPLETELY luck-based.
129	* MacGuffin: Season 1's prize is a diamond trophy, with 100,000 dollars in cash inside of it.
130	** Season 2 [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this with the revelation that there's gonna be no trophy due to [=NotScotish=] enlisting to the Scaloin Army.
131	* MemorialStatue: [[spoiler: In the last scene, a sculpture of Magenta is shown, resembling her life and death.]]
132	* MirrorReveal: The first thing White does after gaining her triangular eyes from the GenieInABottle.[[quoteblock]]'''White'''-AAAH! I DIDN'T WISH FOR TRIANGULAR EYES![[/quoteblock]]
133	* MondegreenGag: In the series finale, Bolivia ends up misunderstanding a randomizer wheel for an Ebay car wheel.
134	* MythArc: While the show is going on, a war deflagration against Scotivia happens, and the contestants are apparently the only ones who don't know it yet. Things go awry when one of the enemy spies is revealed as a formerly eliminated contestant.
135	* NarratingTheObvious: NotScotish narrates most of his actions.
136	* NeverGetsFat: Olive eats hundreds of waffles and never gains a pound. That was [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as being part of the marble physique.
137	* NonStandardCharacterDesign:
138	** White, due to her triangular eyes.
139	** Black has white eyes, and [[spoiler: when corrupted is the only character to have red eyes]].
140	** The countryballs ([=NotScotish=], Bolivia, Polandball) have white eyes with a black outline. Polandball also has a way more detailed design when compared to other characters.
141	* OffModel: Many episodes have counting mistakes leading to the increase/deduction of points in the competition. However, they are corrected in the very next episode.
142	* OneWingedAngel: Black [[spoiler: gets corrupted in Season 2 Episode 10, leading to his real personality being hid in a facade of aggressiveness]].
143	* OnlySaneMan:
144	** Aqua in his friendship with Purple and Black.
145	** Maroon, in his group with [[KnightOfSnark Grey]] and [[CloudCuckooLander Olive]].
146	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: White and Magenta don't want to explain the [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice that is going to be done in a few hours.]] Lavender even [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] this.
147	* OutsideRide: Cyan has one of these in Season 1 Episode 9. She ends up falling from the plane in the end.
148	* PicnicEpisode: Green and Tan have a picnic in Season 1 Day 6 (which is interrupted by Red and Navy's mean and exaggerated pranks).
149	* PhoneaholicTeenager: Silver fits this trope, especially in his earlier appearances, where he was obsessed with "[[BlandNameProduct MarbleGram]]".
150	* PreciousPhoto: After Green is eliminated in Season 1, Tan carries a photo of them together.
151	* ThePrankster: Navy and Red fit this trope, ESPECIALLY in the first season.
152	* RampJump: Cyan decides to do jump from one cliff to another in Season 1 Episode 16. Blue tags along with her, much to his own misfortune.
153	* RealSongThemeTune: All theme songs were NCS musics before they were included as theme songs. Most commonly, Season 2 used "Silence" by Axollo and Josh Bogert.
154	* ReallyDeadMontage: The last scene in Season 2 is this, as Cobalt explains [[spoiler: to his kids about his competition mates' futures and about Magenta's sacrifice.]]
155	* SadistShow: Some of the events and NotScotish's carelessness are enough to include this show as one.
156	* SelfDeprecation: In Season 1 Episode 7, Red intends to blow a firework saying "Not Scotish is stupid". Too late...
157	* SensoryAbuse: In Season 1 Episode 6, Orange suffers one of these from Red.
158	* SmokeOut: Periwinkle has a portable smoke curtain.
159	* SoulfulPlantStory: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Orange plants a coffee tree while in Season 2, which grows to be a symbol of Scotivia Island in the last scene.
160	* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: Purple's jokes fit this situation.
161	* ScalingTheSummit: Cyan's very first daredevilish act is this. She does indeed make it - [[BulletTime In a minute.]]
162	* ShipperOnDeck: White instantly noticed (and supported) Blue's crush on Cyan.[[quoteblock]]'''White''':"Oooh, they're in love!"[[/quoteblock]]
163	* ShowWithinAShow: "Algicosathlon Rises" is a reality show in-universe.
164	* SliceOfLife: The first season had more slice-of-life content as the skits simply focused on the characters' adventures and friendships being formed. The FinaleSeason changed it completely, as it focused more on inter-cast rivalries and expanding the show's MythArc.
165	* SmokeShield:
166	** Red and Navy use a smoke bomb as a prank to ruin Lime's new invention, while getting away [[CardCarryingVillain "easily"]].
167	** Periwinkle utilizes one to hide from [=NotScotish=] in their confrontation in the final episode of the series.
168	* SpeechBubbles: That's how characters talk in all episodes, except for two shorts.
169	** ColorCodedSpeech
170	* StuffBlowingUp: In Season 1 Episode 7, Cyan blows a bullseye up for the sake of it. Again, with a huge, (not so) eye-appealing explosion.
171	* StrictlyFormula:
172	** In normal episodes, the intro plays, there is a starting skit that takes from 4 to 8 minutes, a challenge is described and executed, the characters receive their placements and move in the leaderboard according to them, thus, leading to the elimination of the contestant with the least points. Soon after that, they have a farewell mini-skit (or, in the case of the {{SeasonFinale}}s, [[{{Denouement}} tying up the loose ends]].
173	** In the {{SeasonFinale}}s, a modified version of the intro plays, the eliminated contestants do their hijinks for a moment, and fall from the Elimination Box to be hand-picked by the finalists to join their team. The final event happens, a medal ceremony is led by [=NotScotish=], and some more minutes of narrative action are used for {{Denouement}}.
174	* SuperEmpowering: [=NotScotish=] did that to grant Bolivia's recovering abilities.
175	* SuperMode: [=NotScotish=] being able to use the power of thunder in his fight with Navy and Periwinkle. He has known about the power, but has never actually used it before.
176	* {{Teleportation}}: One of Magenta's abilities due to the fact that she waas born in the future.
177	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: All female characters have eyelashes. Also, Ivory wears a bow at her last scene.
178	* TitleSequenceReplacement: Between seasons 1 and 2 of the show. Also, the theme tune is replaced every once in a while.
179	* TheyDiedBecauseOfYou: [[spoiler: Polandball informs Black about Magenta's sacrifice for him, leading to him thinking he's the worst person in the world.]]
180	* TooDumbToLive: Blue decided to RampJump a cliff, just to impress Cyan. Unlike her, he had ZERO EXPERIENCE in surviving dangerous stunts.
181	* TrackingDevice: A minor plot point in the first season is trying to use this to stop Cyan from doing dangerous stuff.
182	* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Season 1 Episode 19 was a trailer for the SeasonFinale. It spoiled the entire elimination sequence for people who missed the episodes.
183	* TreeCover: Lavender and White hide in a bush while trying to slingshot the TrackingDevice on Cyan.
184	* TruncatedThemeTune: Only the "and I hear you calling out" verse is heard in the intro.
185	* VagueAge: In Season 1, the contestants were referred as teenagers, although it is unknown on whether they have reached majority. The fact that some of them have established occupations adds one more layer to the vagueness.
186	* ValleyGirl: White [[ZigZaggedTrope zigzags]] this in most of her appearances. While she didn't have the common Valley Girl accent, she had many common attitudes associated with the trope.
187	* WaterIsBlue: Navy is constantly associated with rainy clouds.
188	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Coincidentally, two of the biggest {{BaseBreakingCharacter}}s.
189	** Yellow has only competed in 10 out of the total 50 episodes of the season.
190	** Purple was the first character out in the first season, and has only survived for 10 episodes in Season 2.
191	** Brown and Teal debuted in Season 2 to participations, being eliminated in Episodes 2 and 4, respectively.
192	* WeWillHavePerfectHealthInTheFuture: All diseases have been cured, to the point that the cures have been bottled and given away due to the scarcity of cases.
193	* WhereAreTheyNow: The last scene in the entire series.
194	** [[spoiler: Blue and Orange work as doctors, Cyan is still on her daredevilish actions, Brown is a famous painter, Tan and Green are in a band, Maroon and Grey play basketball for Scotivia (with Olive as their biggest fan), Lavender is a scientist, Purple and Teal still keep contact, White is still rich from her prize money, Violet has adopted some snakes, Silver is an enterpreneur, Red, White and [=NotScotish=] are now soldiers for Scotivia (and get to wear [[BadassCape cool capes]], Yellow and Pink are missing, and Black is still depressed at Magenta's death, but Aqua is there to help him when he needs.]]
195	* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: During the events all the contestants are just ragdolls bouncing across a screen. This was lampshaded by Grey in Season 1 Episode 4, and then by Maroon in Season 1 Episode 6.
196	* XtremeKoolLetterz: Purple during Season 1 Episode 20: "See, Aqua? Olive wants to hear a kool joke."
197	* YellowLightningBlueLightning: Navy's season 1 picture has him associated with rainy clouds and two YELLOW lightning bolts.
198	* YouAlreadyChangedThePast: Magenta's time travel to the past didn't change anything on her fate, since she already built history back in the day. She has even [[ShowWithinAShow watched the NotScotish VIDEOS in her time]].
199	* YouAreNotAlone: The show's ultimate message, as seen not only in the last episodes, but also in many situations across the two seasons.
200	!! Tropes Present in "You and I":
201	* AscendedExtra: Ivory lasted only 8 episodes in the main series' second season, but is getting full spotlight in this spin-off.
202	* DarkestAfrica: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. According to the zecond teaser, Ivory wants to know what's the mystery with [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Ivory Coast's name change to Côte D'Ivoire.]]
203	* GenreShift: "You and I" outright ditches Algodoo and becomes a narrative-only show.
204	* {{Midquel}}: The events are set to happen two years after the end of Algicosathlon, but 13 years before the main series' last scene.
205	* RoadTripPlot: The first teaser of the show had Ivory and Cobalt going on a road trip to Ivory Coast.
