Recap / The Powerpuff Girls 2016 S 01 Ep 31 The Secret Swapper Of Doom

Go To

The girls acquire a paper prediction swapper from a classmate and with it they reap a ton of staff they've wanted in exchange for their innermost secrets. But when they divulge the Professor's secrets from his personal journal, the swapper turns into a monstrous origami dragon bent on destroying them.


Tropes:

  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Once they've given it all of the Professor's secrets, the swapper turns into a giant origami dinosaur like creature that shouts out secrets for everyone to hear and see.
  • Dark Secret: The theme of the episode, the swapper is only powered by giving it secret which can give out answers in return. Though once fully powered, it takes on a life of its own.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: The Origami Dragon can only be beaten by shouting out your secret before it gets the chance. The girls do so to shrink him down enough to crush him underfoot.
  • Karma Houdini: HIM is revealed to be the one to give the girls the swapper while under disguise as one of Midway's students and he gets away with it without the girls knowing of his involvement.
  • The Reveal: HIM was behind the whole thing the entire time.
  • A Wild Rapper Appears!: One of the Professors lectures on trust has him doing it in an 90's style rap. He does it again at the end of the episode.
