The Final Chapter!
The War of the Beasts is underway. It's time for Julien to make his final stand against Koto.
Tropes:
- All for Nothing: The biggest reason the prospect of having to flee and regroup is so devastating to Julien is because he's already done that; doing it again would mean nothing he's done this entire season has amounted to anything.
- Almost Kiss: Clover and Sage attempt to kiss during the ending party, but are interrupted by Mort and Zora.
- Brick Joke: When the Space Monkeys finally return to Russia, they find it's been destroyed by the nuclear warhead Julien tricked the dolphins into giving them.
- Callback: Ted assumes his tougher Snake persona to aid in the battle.Clover: Wow, you really bailed me out there, Ted.
Snake: Ain't no Ted about it. I reckon you can sho'nuff call me Snake.
Clover: Uh...?
Ted: Or Ted's fine, I'm not a Picky Pedro. - The Cavalry Arrives Late: At the end of the episode, Hans arrives with a zombie lemur army, only to be informed that he missed the entire battle by at least a month.Mort: Sorry, Hans, you missed the big war. But there's always next year!
- Character Development: Sage is the one ready to execute Koto and Clover is ultimately the one that insists Koto should be spared, while Sage has learned to accept his responsibility and return to his people to rule as their king.
- Cruel Mercy: When Koto is defeated, Sage is ready to execute him, but Clover insists that Koto wants to die and letting him live with the shame his defeat is is a far greater punishment.
- Darkest Hour: Julien has yet another Heroic BSoD when despite the army they raised, his forces are losing and the only apparent option left is to run and hide again.Julien: I guess I never was a real king anyway. Only got the job because my uncle wanted me to get eaten. My peeps deserve better than a loser... like me!
- Description Cut: Julien is pretty sure they have the upper hand in the battle. Cue a monologue by Piney explaining how Julien's army is losing.
- Ghost Reunion Ending: The deceased from "For Whom the Bell Gods Toll" (Including Willie who isn't dead and still confused) all appear at the after party. Koto's ghost joins them and Julien and Koto share one last nod at each other.
- Instant Chucks: Both Sage and Clover are seen using two Warrior Morts tied together by their tails as nunchucks.
- Irony: Koto wanted to dethrone Julien and ultimately become the King of Madagascar. In the process of building a rebellion, all the people of Madagascar pledge their loyalty to Julien, essentially making Julien the King of Madagascar instead.
- Killed Off for Real: Although Sage refuses to kill Koto, Koto dies anyway when his statue collapses, crushing him.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Julien's army. Of them, only the Mort Horde can really be considered warriors. Part of the reason they begin losing is because they can't even work well together and keep getting in each others' way.
- Relationship Upgrade: Clover and Sage almost kiss near the end.
- Rousing Speech:Julien: My peoples! We face an enemy that, I admit, seems invincible. The mountain lemurs are strong and they are disciplined. And us? We are not. At all! Our Kingdoms have nothing in common! Like zero! We're all different! And, sika-pow! Plot twist: That's what makes us strong, y'all! If we work together, and lean on each other's differences, nobody can beat us! Because the mountain lemurs only have one strength, and what is it? Well, it's their actual physical strength. But us? We are all over the map, baby!
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: After spending the first battle mostly on the sidelines, the first thing Julien does as the De Facto King of Madagascar is personally lead the second battle, even taking out a few mountain lemurs himself.
- Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Although Koto appeared to have a clean shoot at Julien in the previous episode clifhanger, Benson walks in the way at the last second and takes Koto's sword in the butt.
