Recap / Monkie Kid S 1 E 1 Bad Weather

Go To

Red Son takes over the 'Weather Station', a prestigious club that allows its members to control the weather in different parts of the city.


Tropes:

  • Brought Down to Badass: As a result of being unable to control his incredible powers (and also being on a strict timeframe of needing to save his friends and the city), MK has Monkey King remove some of his newfound power and his invincibility in order to let him hone what's left. However, this doesn't stop him from taking down Red Son and his Bull Clone army and saving the day in the end.
  • Ironic Echo: During Red Son's publically broadcasted takeover of the Weather Station, he playfully muses "Ooh, look, a lightning button," while looking over the station controls. In the climax, MK mockingly throws Red Son's words back at him when using the same lightning button against him.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Deconstructed, as while MK might have beyond powerful skills as the Monkie Kid, he has no idea how to properly control it, leading to him sending himself flying out of the Weather Station. This leads into the above moment in Brought Down to Badass.
  • Weather-Control Machine: The central focus of the episode, as Red Son aims to take it over in order to acquire more power for Demon Bull King.
