Chapter 55: Anthem
Cookie struggles to decide what to do as Sephario is pummeling Kalita. Meanwhile, Shun is ready to make his final play at the end of the match.
- Decoy Protagonist: In-Universe example. Cookie thought that the Cookie Crumble Match was about her redemption. Instead, it was Sephario's redemption.
- Eye Scream: Sephario lost an eye during a fire while she rescued her Combagals.
- Group Hug: Golgadoo and Brida hug Stonk when Kalita surrenders, as that means that they can host their beloved Tendonchi Challenges.
- Jerkass Realization: Cookie realizes that her tendency to put her desires on top of everything caused her to endanger her Combagals. This causes her to encourage Kalita to surrender rather than fight a losing battle against Sephario.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Invoked by Cookie at the end, encouraging Kalita to give up rather than prolong the fight and risk an injury.
- Pet the Dog: Shun makes the entire audience of Munes Arena acknowledge Sephario as a fellow Concattan by singing the national anthem. Sephario is deeply touched, raising her fist in victory.
- Shaming the Mob: Shun calls out the Concattans for treating Sephario like a monster despite the fact that she risked her life saving her Combagals from a fire made by citizens trying to claim revenge for Trilamity Day.
