Fed up with Hakaizer's impressive results and hellbent to gain more power, Stacy challenges Kaito to a duel once again. However, Sakasama Wald inverts their souls, with Stacy!Kaito taken to Colorful while Kaito!Stacy infiltrates the Tozitend palace. Kaito decides to make the most of it and begins to look for his father, while Stacy comes up with a plan of his own...
Tropes
- Call-Back: Stacy is unable to return to the Tozitend base due to being stuck in Kaito’s body, which was revealed to be incompatible with the portals in episode 5. This gives Kaito the idea to use Stacy’s body to infiltrate the Tozitend palace.
- Crapsack World: We get a good look at the state of Kikaitopia, where we see that Boccowaus locks up dissidents against Tozitend’s rule.
- "Freaky Friday" Flip: Sakasama Wald initiates this on our heroes.
- Kaito and Stacy have their bodies swapped.
- Flint transforms into Twokaizer in this episode, having swapped her body with her brother Zocks.
- Cutanner and Ricky have their bodies swapped as well, though everyone else lampshades it doesn't really make a difference since they're identical twins.
- Gratuitous English: Flint yells "help me!" when she and Zocks' souls are getting switched.
- Hidden Agenda Villain: Gege not only shows Kaito!Stacy the way back to Tozitend's interdimensional portal, but deliberately lets him go. Gege leaves before Kaito!Stacy can ask him why he did this.
- Internal Reveal: Kaito finally gets to meet Boccowaus, and Gege by extension.
- Lampshade Hanging: Juran points out how different Flint's voice sounds, before knowing that she and Zocks switched bodies.
- Pet the Dog: Stacy!Kaito has one of these when he helps Mr. Su open a jar of sweets.
- Shout-Out:
- Gaon title drops Your Name when asking who is in Kaito's body, hilariously for a "Freaky Friday" Flip episode.
- Over-Time's subs twist Sakasama Wald's Last Words to make a reference to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's theme, specifically the line "My life got flipped, turned upside down".
- Spotting the Thread: Gege immediately notices something is off with "Stacy" from the moment he acts obediently uptight from Barashitara telling him to stay silent during his meeting with Boccowaus.
