Recap / Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts S 2 E 06 Fun Gus Part II

Go To

Fun Gus is among us. The chums frolic with the pushy player till a slippery helper arrives. Time to throw Kipo an anchor as the Mega Monkey moves on.


Tropes:

  • Answer Cut:
    Benson: If your parents were planning on taking Scarlemagne with them...
    Kipo: ...then who were they running from?
    Scene cuts to the raven masked human waking up
    Cloaked Figure: Doctor Emilia!
  • Enfant Terrible: The aforementioned Fun Gus.
  • Everyone Has Standards: When Scarlemagne offers the Mega Monkey the chance to get back at the one who enslaved her, the Mega Monkey roars in seeming agreement. But when Scarlemagne elaborates the offer to subjugating all humanity, the Mega Monkey becomes uncomfortable and runs away. This foreshadows the reveal of who the Mega Monkey really is.
  • Foreshadowing: Unlike human-sized mutes, mega-mutes have regular animal intelligence. Yet the Mega Monkey is able to spring a trap and use a net?
  • Good Feels Good: Muholland admits he likes to help people for real.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After some doubt in the first part, it’s confirmed that Muholland really did pull one, as he helps Kipo and her friends to escape from Fun Gus.
  • Maternity Crisis: Lio tells his heavily pregnant wife that they need to leave their burrow tonight. Song is terrified about giving birth on the surface, and conveniently the stress of thinking about that causes her to go into labour right there in their apartment.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Seeing the Mega Monkey captured again, and after having just learned that she's Kipo's mom, causes Kipo to go absolutely berserk. She transforms fully into a Mega Jaguar and tears off after Scarlemagne.
  • The Reveal: The Mega Monkey is actually Kipo’s mother.
    • It is revealed here that Scarlemagne is NOT the one that enslaved the Mega Monkey with the pheromone collar, but actually the leader of the masked figures (who turns out to be Dr. Emilia).
  • Wham Episode:
    • It turns out thanks to a picture that Kipo’s mother is not dead; she is actually the Mega Monkey.
    • After seeing her mother mind controlled by Scarlemagne, an enraged Kipo transforms into the Mega Jaguar for the first time.
  • Wham Shot: A closer look of Kipo’s family photo shows them (and to the audience) that Kipo’s mother has fur from her arm, but not of a jaguar...
