As Azure Lion further loses his grip on both the Jade Emperor’s power and his own sanity, the Monkie Kids brainstorm their plan to take him and his brotherhood down.
Tropes:
- Call-Back: Monkey King and Pigsy cite MK’s planning skills back in Season 3 against Lady Bone Demon as reason for him to take the lead in planning to stop Azure and the Brotherhood this time round.
- Change the Uncomfortable Subject: MK shows extreme hesitance to use his Monkey form against Azure Lion because of how terrifyingly powerful it is in spite of Monkey King pointing out they may not have any other choice if they want to save the world, trying to switch the topic to his and Mei’s cool new super armor instead.
- Lock-and-Load Montage: After an episode of preparation, the Monkie Kids have one of these when they’re all gearing up for the fight against Azure Lion.
- Sanity Slippage: The mental impact of attempting to control the Jade Emperor’s power on Azure really shows in this episode, with both Peng and Yellowtusk sharing an Oh, Crap! reaction upon realizing that their leader is losing it.
