Recap / OKKO Lets Be Heroes S 3 E 12 Radical Rescue

Go To

Rad is forced to reconsider his identity when K.O. starts taking on some of his traits.


Tropes:

  • An Aesop:
    • It's not nice to make fun of people for having different tastes than yours.
    • You shouldn't be ashamed of liking something just because others think it's lame.
  • Breather Episode: A light-hearted adventure with Rad and the cats he watches out for sandwiched between two wham episodes.
  • Call-Back:
    • Rad's secret love of cats was first shown in "You Are Rad".
    • The photo of Rad with Witchy Simone was taken in the Mighty Magiswords series finale, in which Rad was pulled into the show's universe.
  • Cats Are Mean: Mikayla infiltrates the shelter and harasses the other cats, as well as attacking Rad for no particular reason. The other cats are an aversion, being Cute Kittens instead.
  • Crossover: Rad has a photo of him with Witchy Simone; he claims she's his girlfriend, but later confesses she's just a friend from another dimension.
  • Comically Missing the Point: K.O. doesn't feel insulted when Mega Football Baby and Bell Beefer call all his photos lame; he really thinks it's all a fun game with no malicious intent.
  • Harsh Word Impact: Rad and K.O. telling off Mega Football Baby and Bell Beefer creates a shockwave that knocks them back, along with leaving a crater behind them.
  • Little Brother Is Watching: Rad realizes that he's become an Inappropriate Role Model to K.O. when the latter starts calling the things he used to like lame to imitate Rad's macho persona.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: What really hits it to Rad that he's being a bad role model is when he sees K.O. calling POW Cards lame.
  • Plot Allergy: Rad can't have a cat at home because his parents are allergic, so he volunteers at the cat shelter instead.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Rad realizes he had changed his personality to fit in with Mega Football Baby and Bell Beefer, and fears the same thing will happen with K.O.
