History PlayingWith / DressingAsTheEnemy

* '''Discussed''': ???

* '''Zig Zagged''': Hiro and his friends are dressed up as the enemy, sneaking around the base. Meanwhile, some of Siegfried's men are sneaking out, disguised as members of the group that the heroes are from. The former exposes the latter, and since they're surrounded by villains, they pretend to arrest them; unfortunately, as they don't have the right keys or identification, they're exposed as fakes as well, and a couple of mooks cart both groups off to the jail. Right as one of the mooks takes the cell keys out, one of the others reveals themselves as a disguised member of ''another'' group, who knocks the other mooks out and frees Hiro and company.

** While dressed as an enemy, they encounter an ally who doesn't know they are friends in diguise, thinking they are enemies, their ally promptly hurts/kills them.

** For cases where they might be unable to identift each other, TheLeader assigns everyone a TrustPassword. In this way, there is mistaking each other.

* '''Played For Drama:''' Princess Velvet is about to be forced to marry Emperor Siegfried the next day, so Hiro launches a desperate plan to save her despite not being well-prepared for the inflitration effort. They know full well that they can't fight off the whole garrison -- if they're caught, they'll be slaughtered -- but they can't see any other way to rescue her. They ''have'' to take the risk.

* '''Exploited''': The enemies capture Hiro and ''force'' him to wear their uniform in the hopes that their friends will mistake them for an enemy.

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Lampshaded''': "[[StarWars You're a little tall for a stormtrooper, aren't you?]]"

* '''Exaggerated''': All of Hiro's companions don uniforms -- even TeamPet [[BigBadassWolf Garo]] and youngest member [[{{Kawaiiko}} Ichigo]].

* '''Reconstructed''': In order to help pull the rescue off, the heroes first study the guard's routines, and give the uniforms they obtain to the members that fit into them the best.

* '''Invoked''': "Look! [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy Those guards at the drawbridge are totally oblivious!]] They don't even pay attention to anything! I think i know how we can use it to our advantage."

* '''Parodied''': While investigating the enemy base, they learn that ''all'' the soldiers supposedly stationed there are actually would-be heroes trying to rescue the princess.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

* '''Deconstructed''':
** The uniforms don't fit very well because of how they were tailored for their actual ''owners''. In addition, Hiro and his friends don't know any of the passwords or other routines used by the soldiers guarding the castle. Thanks to this, they're caught and thrown into prison, informed of the strict penalties for impersonating a soldier...

* '''Exaggerated''': All of Hiro's {{Nakama}} don uniforms -- even TeamPet [[BigBadassWolf Garo]] and youngest member [[{{Kawaiiko}} Ichigo]].
* '''Justified''': Emperor Siegfried has ordered his minions to shoot Hiro and his {{Nakama}} on sight; by disguising themselves, the chances of that happening are reduced.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Hiro and his nakama are dressed up as the enemy, sneaking around the base. Meanwhile, some of Siegfried's men are sneaking out, disguised as members of the group that the heroes are from.

* '''Played For Laughs:''' Their uniforms don't fit and they're very obviously imposters, but [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy none of the soldiers appear to notice this]].
