Recap / Teen Titans Go S 1 E 37 Legs

Go To

When Cyborg steals and wears Raven's cloak for a prank, she becomes more open about her emotions and more willing to use her exposed legs to fight instead of her magic, while Cyborg becomes reclusive.


  • Big "NO!": Beast Boy lets one out when Raven puts the cloak back on.
  • Clothes Make the Maniac: It's implied by Cyborg's behavior that the cloak is an Artifact of Doom that pushes the wearer to fulfill the dark destiny of Trigon's child. Raven is the only one strong-willed enough to withstand it.
  • Clothing Reflects Personality: In this case, the Titans believe Raven's cloak makes her moody and irritable. When Raven isn't wearing it, she becomes much more able to share her feelings and is a lot more sociable. When Cyborg puts it on, he becomes as dark and gloomy as Raven normally is. Starfire theorizes this and is about to discuss a Tamaranean cultural custom before being cut off by Raven. It affects the rest of the Titans uniquely.
    • Robin becomes enamored by the darkness and retreats into the shadows of the cloak.
    • Beast Boy becomes overwhelmed and turns into a screeching squid.
    • Starfire becomes incredibly hostile and confrontational.
  • Curbstomp Battle: The Titans give one of these to the Hive Five.
  • Dance Party Ending: Inverted in this case as it's a Dance Party Beginning.
  • Eating the Eye Candy: Beast Boy stares appreciatively at Raven's legs, complete with Sexophone.
  • Kick Chick: As Lady Legasus, Raven uses her legs to great effect. She doesn't bother punching.
  • Foreshadowing: Raven in the shower with her cloak off is dancing and singing, to Robin's surprise.
  • Male Gaze: Beast Boy can't get enough of Raven's legs.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Robin, Beast Boy and Starfire aren't too thrilled about what they turn into wearing Raven's cloak.
  • Power Echoes: Starfire's voice goes into an echo when she puts on Raven's cloak.
  • Shaking the Rump:
    • Starfire does this in front of Raven during the Titan's dancing.
    • Raven does a little bit of this when she is shown without her cloak.
  • Unsound Effect: When Raven kicks Robin the first time, the word "Kick!" appears behind her. The second time, "Another kick!" can be seen, and the third, "And another kick!"
  • 10-Minute Retirement: Raven leaves the Titans to pursue her new career as Lady Legasus, only to come back when Cyborg goes crazy with dark magic.
  • That Makes Me Feel Angry: The Played for Laughs variety. Raven starts talking this way without the cloak. Evidently she's not very practiced in actually expressing her emotions.
    Raven: I'm really angry at you for stealing my cloak!
    Robin: Wow! Did you just share your feelings?
    Raven: No! I-I'm just trying to tell you how uncomfortable you've made me! [Kicks Robin]
    Robin: Ow! You did it again! You're a new woman without that cloak to hold you back!
    Raven: Stop it! You're upsetting me!
  • That Russian Squat Dance: Beast Boy pulls this out during the dance party in the beginning of the episode.
  • X-Ray Sparks: See-More has his skeleton shown after Starfire zaps him with her laser vision.
