* DudeWheresMyRespect: Deconstructed. It's clearly shown during the fight against Adonis that Beast Boy has deep anger issues because of the lack of appreciation from the other Titans, and during the fight all of his repressed anger goes out and he totally curb stomps Adonis, much to the shock of the other Titans. His anger only gets worse until he (apparantly) puts Raven into a coma.

The episode tries to make up for underwriting the Aesop via [[GoldenMoment Raven telling Beast Boy outright]] that "knowing when to let the Man-Beast out" is what makes him a man... which is completely irrelevant to what actually happened--Beast Boy only [[HulkingOut hulks out]] under extreme stress, didn't know about the transformation to start with, and even once he does has no control over it. Worse, the episode's climax is two Man-Beasts slugging it out until one eats dirt, which looks almost like [[BrokenAesop a validation of Adonis' thuggish behavior]].

Removing Trope Misuse. A lot of these examples boil down to the Titans not thinking rationally despite the situation justifying not doing so, indentations that repeat the same thing, or conflating details that are apples to oranges, despite the situation itself being one where that kind of behavior is entirely justified. As far as they knew, Raven and Beast Boy's rooms were trashed, they had no idea where the latter was, a "Man-Beast" had her in its jaws, and that turned out to be Beast Boy. They are teenagers still and panicking at that point. "Sometimes you have to deal with the knife at your throat before wondering why it's there in the first place". And considering there was no indication there was another Man-Beast at the time, it's not hard to see why they'd immediately think it was him. The only thing Robin was guilty of was not doing further investigation, which can again be chalked up to emotions and dealing with a highly dangerous and unknown variable that is the Man-Beast, when otherwise his interrogating technique is no different from how Batman often acts in high tense situations. It doesn't help that a lot of these examples sound like Fourth Wall Myopia.


%% THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THE TROPE IN THIS EPISODE. NEITHER MAN-BEAST EXPRESSES SEXUAL INTEREST IN RAVEN.



* TheAlibi: The only investigation local detective Robin is shown doing is demanding [[EnhancedInterrogationTechniques with increasing hostility]] that Beast Boy remember and explain what happened between him and Raven or else end up in jail. [[IdiotBall Nobody thinks to wait for Raven to recover and explain what happened]].



* BullyingADragon: Robin suffers a phenomenal case of GenreBlindness during the interrogation scene, when he decides to {{Perp Sweat|ing}} Beast Boy in an attempt to get his teammate to provide himself TheAlibi, even going so far as to prevent Starfire from comforting him. All that stress just makes Beast Boy start HulkingOut again.



* ConflictBall:
** Robin immediately declaring an attack in the sewer against the Man-Beast was stupid and impulsive, not only because Raven was still in the middle of things, but because the Man-Beast was not actually known to be a threat at the time. Even if Robin was right about it being a threat, [[LeeroyJenkins the Titans were yards away from Raven while the Man-Beast was only inches]].
** Robin's interrogation/trial in the medical bay is a needlessly hostile and highly questionable effort to get an explanation of what actually happened between Beast Boy and Raven after the Man-Beast makes its first appearance. The only thing Robin gets for his trouble is the Man-Beast making a second appearance.

ConflictBall: The second act of the sewer against the Man-Beast was stupid and impulsive, not only because Raven was still in the middle of things, but because the Man-Beast was not actually known to be a threat at the time. Even if Robin was right about it being a threat, [[LeeroyJenkins episode is largely marred by the Titans were yards away from Raven while the Man-Beast was only inches]].
** Robin's interrogation/trial in the medical bay is a needlessly hostile
and highly questionable effort to get an explanation of what actually happened between Beast Boy being at each others throats over Beast Boy possibly attacking Raven, the Titans acting much more confrontational than usual, and Raven after Beast Boy responding in kind. {{Justified|Trope}} on both fronts, as the Man-Beast makes its first appearance. The only thing Robin gets for Titans are afraid their friend seriously hurt another of their friends and was a danger to himself ''and'' others, while Beast Boy was suffering side affects from his trouble is DNA being affected by the Man-Beast making a second appearance.chemicals he was dosed in and unable to convey his problems properly.



* DoubleStandard:
** Beast Boy's increasingly out-of-character progression resulting from his chemical exposure parallels Robin's SanitySlippage from "[[Recap/TeenTitansS3E5Haunted Haunted]]", but while the Titans understood OOCIsSeriousBusiness with Robin and tried to help him, they fail to suspect any deeper significance to Beast Boy's behavior until [[HulkingOut it's too late]] and remain confrontational, with Robin at one point telling him to shape up or ''leave''.
** This episode also mirrors "[[Recap/TeenTitansS1E6Nevermore Nevermore]]", with one of the Titans hitting a RageBreakingPoint with a supervillain and remaining hostile the next day. But while the Titans each strive to be accommodating of Raven and how "complicated" she is[[note]]To the point where Beast Boy is made to ''apologize'' for a passing mention of her FreakOut during an overeager attempt to be friendly.[[/note]], they merely find the suddenly aggressive Beast Boy nothing more than a jerkass.
* EasilyCondemned: Despite being part of the Titans for a good while, Beast Boy gets treated harshly by the rest of the Titans, especially Robin when he starts becoming uncharacteristically aggressive after his dip in the chemicals.



* IdiotBall:
** Beast Boy gets doused in chemicals and nobody thinks to examine what kind of chemicals they are, run any tests, or take any safety measures until ''after'' he's turned into a monster.
** Beast Boy gets doused in chemicals one night and the very next morning shows a radical change in his personality and habits. Nobody--''nobody''--recognizes OOCIsSeriousBusiness until much later.
** [[FailedASpotCheck Nobody notices the Gym has been completely mauled and the only one to enter has been Beast Boy]].

** Robin demands Beast Boy give him an immediate explanation of what happened lest Beast Boy be thrown in jail despite Beast Boy's shaky condition making him an obviously UnreliableExpositor at best. Nobody thinks to wait for Raven to wake up and provide her own account.
** Robin deliberately adds stress to an unstable teammate with a SuperpoweredEvilSide [[TemptingFate in a cramped room with both expensive, fragile medical equipment and a vulnerable teammate nearby]].



* JerkassBall:
** Raven taunts Beast Boy for having a FreakOut at Adonis' expense, never mind the fact that her own previous fits of temper have resulted in the MindRape of Dr. Light and Beast Boy's breakfast exploding in his face. It's also particularly unkind in that this episode follows "Spellbound", which ended with Beast Boy's "you don't have to be alone" speech.

* MotiveEqualsConclusiveEvidence: The Titans judge from Beast Boy's vicious confrontation with Raven that the Man-Beast attacked Raven and means her even more harm, though all the actual evidence--Raven's [[BloodlessCarnage healing trance]] and maybe signs of struggle in Beast Boy's room--is purely circumstantial and nothing definitively proves that interpretation. Robin nonetheless demands that Beast Boy provide himself TheAlibi or go to jail.



* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed. Despite Beast Boy exhibiting clear signs of emotional problems, the Titans express no serious concern for his welfare; Robin even tells Beast Boy that if he wants to maintain his negative attitude then he should isolate himself because nobody wants to deal with him.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: This episode features the most appearances of Beast Boy's sasquatch-like form, first when he begins he beatdown of Adonis in the opener, then while lifting weights in the gym, [[RuleOfThree then again]] when he nearly attacks Raven.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: When the Titans confront the Man-Beast in the sewer, they're apparently too shocked by the sight of it carrying Raven to notice the way it gently lays her down. The second time it appears, they likewise misinterpret its intentions when it goes over to examine Raven's prone body in concern. The Man-Beast was actually protecting Raven, who was attacked by something else.

* MisplacedRetribution: Beast Boy blowing up at Raven is this. While it's true that Raven often belittles him, she does that to ''all'' of her friends, not just him, and nobody had a massive issue with it before, not even Beast Boy. Even then, that particular instance was caused by Raven bumping into him by accident while reading and apologizing for it, only taking back the apology because Beast Boy rudely told her to watch where she's going. It didn't help matters that BB was looking ahead and ''could'' have moved out of the way, but chose not to.

BB even does a RollingAttack akin to Blanka's at one point.



%% There's no rape subtext here. The Titans clearly believe Beast Boy has attacked Raven, so the matter of assault isn't subtext, and there's no preexisting sexual content between Beast Boy and Raven to insist that this particular flavor of assault is subtext for the matter of assault.

%% Sorry, but the only scene even remotely indicative of sexual interaction is the YouGotSpunk moment in the Adonis fight. If you can prove that Beast Boy has an official sexual attraction to Raven during or prior to this episode, then you can tell us about how the episode wants us to think his inner beast wants to rape her, but not until then.
