After the assault of the Brotherhood, Yugo and Ruel rushes to the Sadida Kingdom to inform Amalia and ask her for help for the current crisis. Despite Armand's protests, the ill king gives her his authorization and blessing to go and help the Percedal family: right now, Sadlygrove's life is waning, though Rubilax may have an agreement to propose to him...

Meanwhile, Poo the Pandawa Demigod is on Dally's tracks where he's attacked by Elely, determined to stop him from finding her dad. The huge bear-man is ready to face his opponent, claiming that the Brotherhood wishes to employ her astounding strength and make her into a new Iop Goddess...


Tropes:

  • Almost Dead Guy: Sadlygrove is so injured he nearly passes out and dies of his wounds, seeing (again) the Iop Heaven. Fortunately, Rubilax's interference once again saves the day.
  • Artificial Limbs: In order to save Dally, Rubilax turns himself into a black arm (with his trademark eye on the palm) attached to Dally's body, which can also transform into a blade, turn huge or even produce another longsword for him to employ.
  • Bait-and-Switch: When Dally returns to the battlefield, he sees Elely flying, covered in bruises, and tries to call her out for trying to fight and points out in what a state she is... then Elely points at Poo... who's even more injured and wobbling from the beating.
  • Call-Back:
    • Dally once again floats towards the cloud swords composing the Iop Heaven.
    • Elely's tactics to defeat Poo calls to mind how her father beat Rubilax back in Season 1.
    • Poo carries a large amount of Recall Potions on him, again from Season 1.
  • Cherry Tapping: Since Poo was given order to take Elely alive (as the new Iop Goddess), he doesn't take her threat seriously and is content with sending her flying with spanks. Only after she manages to whack his foot with a club and then kick his ass he starts to fight seriously.
  • Cliffhanger: The Brotherhood of the Tofu uses Poo's Recall Potions to track back the Forgotten and rescue Flopin and Eva from their base.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Elely gets the focus on this episode.
  • Deal with the Devil: Rubilax makes one with Dally: he turns himself into an artificial shapeshifting arm to restore his power and give him enough strength to rescue his family, but once the quest is over, Dally will have to set Rubilax free. Subverted when Ruel points out that had Dally died for real, Rubilax would have been free by default, meaning that he saved his life out of the goodness of his heart.
  • The Good King: Even when seriously ill, King Sheran Sharm is still wholeheartedly grateful to Yugo and the Brotherhood and encourages Amalia to go and help her friends, despite Armand's protests.
  • Home Field Advantage: Parodied; Poo boasts about how now that he's in an open snowfield he can use his skills at his fullest unlike before where he was in a cramped space, only for Elely to yell at him for finding excuses for losing.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Poo, despite his bulk, is incredibly fast and nimble, outmaneuvering Elely during most of the fight.
  • Literal Ass-Kicking: Variation; during the first part of their fight, Poo is content with not using all his strength on Elely and limits himself to spanking her on the butt, with enough strength to send her flying across the battlefield. She manages to repay him in kind by kicking him in the butt.
  • Oh, Crap!: Poo panics in fear when he sees that Elely's about to smash his face in with a trunk.
  • Rump Roast: After receiving several attacks from Poo, Elely's butt is actually giving off smoke as she sits in the snow to cool off, letting out steam and a sigh of relief.
  • Shaking the Rump: Soon after the above mentioned cool-off segment, Elely actually shakes her bottom at Poo as a taunt.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Poo once again commits the grave mistake of severely underestimating Elely's stubbornness and Heroic Resolve. It ends up with an extremely humiliating defeat.
  • Use Your Head: Elely soon figures out that she can't hit Poo with enough strength to harm him with her little fists or feet, so she resorts to headbutt him squarely in the face. It's successful on the long run.
  • Villains Want Mercy: When Poo finds himself beaten by Elely, he tearfully begs for mercy. Cue to an annoyed Elely asking if he's allowed to do such a thing and Dally treating the act as some sort of alien custom.
  • Would Hurt a Child: While Poo initially goes easy on Elely, he starts to fight in the earnest when she starts to land some hits on him.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: Elely goes to fight Poo to make sure he doesn't run into the mortally wounded Sadlygrove.
