* NiceJobBreakingItHero: To put it simply, this episode is nothing but Ben screwing up peacemaking.
** He offers to shake hands with both generals after they declare a truce, but since he chose to shake the Blue General’s hand with his right (Blues shake with their left), the latter uses that as an excuse to restart the war.
** When he gives a speech condemning war to both sides as Waybig, Ben ends up smashing the statue of [[OurFounder Zamen]], getting both sides to gang up on him.

* SillyReasonForWar: The two species are fighting over whether their greatest sage was red-skinned or blue-skinned, which is impossible to tell since the only statue of him has faded completely.

The team receive a distress call from a young girl, girl named Probity, whose planet is at war. They decide to help out in the war, but discover that war's more complicated than they thought.
* BittersweetEnding: Heavily on the bitter side, Ben and his team stop the war between the reds and blues, but by accidentally destroying the statue of Zavin they were fighting over as Way Big, causing both sides to unite into the Purple Army against Ben, and Kevin loses the money he earned from selling weapons in the process. According to Probity, this has caused conditions to worsen with Probity losing her home and having to work double time to pay for school, beginning to hate Ben more than war, even. But after her recorded message, Probity finds the chest of money Kevin left behind.

--> '''Gwen''': At least they're united now.
--> '''Ben''': Yeah, against ''me''.

* ArmsDealer: Argit is making a profit by selling both sides ''their own guns'' by just recolouring them. Also Kevin joins in on the action.
* TheBusCameBack: Argit, who hasn't shown up since season 1 returns here as an ArmsDealer for both sides.
* DownerEnding: Ben and his team fail to stop the war and apparently have made things even worse.
* EnemyMine: Once both sides get tired of Ben and his team's shenanigans, they decide to team up and drive them of the planet.
* PaletteSwap: The two sides are palette swaps of each other: one's blue, the other's red.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Kevin, who has been generally getting better the past two seasons, dips into his asshole side when he works with Argit and sells weapons. ''This line'' pretty much sums it up nicely:
--> '''Kevin''': (starts crying)
--> '''Gwen''': Kevin, are you crying? Oh, you do have a heart!
--> '''Kevin''': (sobbing) Yeah, that's what poor people have instead of money.
