Recap / Alfred J Kwak S 2 E 16 De Draak

Go To

Continues from De Vulkaan (The Volcano Erupts)

An alien dragon appears to be trapped in the volcano. The government of Sinatra helps to free it, but Dolf buys the dragon for Rokodil's amusement park. The dragon feels betrayed, but Alfred and Paljas won't leave it.

Tropes:

  • The Bad Guy Wins: Well, Rokodil doesn't, but Dolf completes his mission, gets his payment, and leaves without any setbacks or consequences for now.
  • Call-Back:
    • Rokodil's amusement park from episode 1 plays a part in the story.
    • Von Paljas' translation device from episodes 18 and 19 is needed again.
  • Catchphrase: Alfred says "Pico bello!" even in the english dub
  • Recycled Animation: Animation from the previous episode is used as news footage in this episode's beginning.
  • It's only very little karma, but at least Rokodil's amusement park is doing badly.
  • High-Class Glass: Dolf's still wearing the monocle from episode 37.
  • Villain in a White Suit: Dolf's suit in this episode is alternately off-white and bluish.
  • Dub Name Change: In the finnish dub, Rokodil's amusement park Fairyland is named Lystimaa ("Funland").
  • Gratuitous German: The english dub has several instances of Von Paljas' "ja" again.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
    • Why did they put out a nicely set up dinner table in the dragon's cage? How do they suppose it to use cutlery, pour water, or drink from a glass?
    • In a later scene the dragon also has a bedside table with a tiny lamp. Why is it there? They didn't even know that the dragon was sapient. Later scene also shows the "cave" with curtain doors, sone kind of a box on a wall, and in the cornee something that might be a sink.
  • Bystander Syndrome: Nobody else does anything while Alfred and the guard are inside the cage, and after Alfred escapes the fire the audience just cheers and takes photos.
  • Failed a Spot Check: The night guard fails to notice that there's suddendly another windmill next to the normal one, or that the new måwindmill is orange, made of metal, and has several windows.
