* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Arjun invokes this trope to insult Karna by proclaiming that he isn’t a true king, since he was gifted the Anga kingdom instead of earning it by fighting and bleeding for it. Remember that this is coming from [[{{Hypocrite}} Arjun, who has just as much (lack of) actual combat experience as Karna]].

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Duryodhan is the more agile, skilled technician with a mace, wielding it with great flexibility. He is therefore a slippery fighter, able to maneuver around opponents and score more hits. Although those hits lack power. Bhim on the other hand is a powerhouse of a performer, able to use brute force to hit hard although not as often.

“There is a better archer, O guru!” Proclaims an unidentified man with a bow and arrow, wearing a distinctive armor on his torso and a distinctive pair of earrings - armor and earrings that Kunti recognizes as [[Recap/MahabharataS01E07 belonging to the baby boy she abandoned long ago, before her wedding to Pandu]]. A shocked Kunti faints. The man, only calling himself Karna, challenges Arjun to a duel to determine the best archer. Arjun is all too willing to oblige by using his arrows to sew this impudent interrupter’s lips shut. But Kripacharya states that this is the Royal Arena and that only a prince or king may challenge Arjun, who is a prince. Duryodhan states that if lack of royal status is what’s impeding Karna’s challenge, then he will solve that problem by appointing Karna as the king of the Angaara nation, which is a suzerainty of Hastinapur and which currently has Duryodhan in charge of administering it. Duryodhan demands that Karna be coronated then and there. A grateful Karna pledges UndyingLoyalty to Duryodhan upon being crowned. Someone informs Karna’s adoptive father Adhirath of this. Adhirath rushes over to the arena.

In this episode of Series/{{Mahabharata}}, the princes are all grown up and present themselves in a specially prepared arena to show off their combat skills.
First, Yudhistir, Duryodhan, Bhim, Arjun, Dushasan, Vikarna, Nakul and Sahadev make grand entrances and announce themselves and their heritage. Then Bhishma blows a conch to start the function.
First, Yudhistir demonstrates his skill with a spear by using it to disarm many princes armed with swords, maces and spears, on foot and on horseback, who surround and attack him. Then Bhim and Duryodhan start sparring with maces, but then sparring intensifies into combat, as the two trade blows. Before the duel can turn deadly, Dronacharya and Ashwathama break it up. Arjun then comes out and puts up an impressive display of archery by first firing arrows at the feet of all elders present, then using arrows to summon [[ElementalPowers wind, fire, lightning, rain and a mountain]]. Dronacharya stands up and proclaims to everyone that there is no archer better than Arjun.

Arjun insults Karna that he, who has been gifted a kingdom is unworthy of being considered a warrior. Bhim and Duryodhan exchange insults, then Karna reissues his challenge to Arjun. Kripacharya reminds them that this is an arena, not a battlefield, so there can only be a competition, not a duel to the death. As both princes await the competition to be specified, Adhirath runs over to Karna, who receives him with the respect a son gives his father. Bhim scoffs at this, telling Arjun that as a charioteer’s son, Karna [[NotWorthKilling isn’t worth killing]]. Duryodhan retorts by [[Recap/MahabharataS01E09 questioning the Pandavas’ parentage]].
