Title: The Semi-Finals
Release date: September 19, 2014

Abel faces off against the cycloptic fighter Renzu in the semi-finals of the 28th Legondo World Martial Arts Tournament. Meanwhile, Chris and Ian try to find another way to pay off Minilife Studios' debt.


Tropes:

  • Literal Genie: Lottery Lamps are designed more to grant what people wish for rather than give them what they actually want. For example, one guy who found a Lottery Lamp wished he could rule the world, so he was transported to a planet named "The" and died from the atmosphere.
  • Mega Neko: Pockets, a giant cat goddess summoned by mummy terrorists. Justified since it's a real cat in a LEGO universe.
  • No Animals Were Harmed: "No real cats were bombed in the making of this episode."
  • The Paralyzer: Renzu's special attack is using hypnosis to paralyze his opponents so he can easily defeat them. Luckily, Abel manages to counteract the hypnosis by releasing the tension from his body and letting himself fall apart.
  • Shout-Out: "'Twasn't the death bomb, 'twas catnip killed the beast."
  • The Stinger: After the credits, a familiar-looking construction worker and his workmate can be seen repairing the wall of the arena.
  • Wasteful Wishing: Ian accidentally wastes his and Chris's wish on the Lottery Lamp by offhandedly wishing for their phones back. Chris is understandably annoyed with him.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: When the Lottery Lamp lands in The Armless Guy's backyard, he uses it to wish for his arms back. However, since he didn't specifically ask for them to be reattached to his body, they're of no use to him because he has no way of putting them back on.
