Spear and Fang are forced by the queen of the Colossaeus to be her instruments of war, along with another prisoner whose family member's life is on the line as well.
This episode features the following tropes:
- Annoying Arrows: It's clear that the arrows used by their opponents have little to no effect on Fang, Spear or Kamau, who just remove them after the battle is over and then wash themselves in a pool.
- Armor Is Useless: The Huns, The Knights Templar, and the Romans are all wearing metal armor, but they get absolutely obliterated by Spear and Kamau, both of whom wear nothing but a loincloth. And of course Fang, who is a T-Rex!
- Beast of Battle: The queen has turned Spear and Fang into hers, alongside Kamau, keeping them caged and only released to unleash them on her enemies. The scene where Spear escapes even shows one of her soldiers feeding them tossing cuts of meat into their cages, as if they're animals.
- Dark Action Girl: The queen shows that while not as physically strong as Spear, she can at least fight him to a standstill while her guards arrive.
- Even the Dog Is Ashamed: When the Queen orders Kamau to slaughter the peaceful villagers, Fang roars in disgust, turns around and walks back into the ship. She might be a vicious T. rex, but this is too much even for her.
- Go-Go Enslavement: Mira is forced to dress in a rather revealing outfit and dance for the pleasure of the Queen.
- Kick the Dog: Kamau is forced to slaughter an entire village of pacific people who surrendered to the queen in the first place.
- This is especially cruel given Kamau and his people were also pacifistic, so he likely sees parallels to his own peoples enslavement.
- Make an Example of Them: When Mira refuses to dance for the queen and the king of the Sea People she's captured, the queen steps off her throne to perform personally... and finishes by kicking the king off her pavilion to his death, right in front of Mira. When the queen gets back on her throne, Mira begins to dance.
- Mook Horror Show: All the armies opposing the Egyptians suffer from this when Spear, Fang, and Kamau are sent into battle.
- Rape, Pillage, and Burn: The Egyptians engage in this after the protagonists have devastated the defending armies.
- Recycled Animation: Used for artistic purposes. The animation of Spear, Fang and Kamau is repeated frame-by-frame in the fight sequence against the Huns, the Bretons and the Romans, with only the enemy soldiers and the backgrounds swapped, to demonstrate the monotony and repetitiveness of these battles.
- Rule of Three: To showcase the passage of time, Fang, Spear and Kamau are all shown fighting and destroying three civilizations, the Huns, the Knights Templar, and the Ancient Romans.
- Stockholm Syndrome: The blonde slave girl appears to be loyal to the Queen despite being her prisoner, as she rings a bell to alert the soldiers when Spear breaks into the throne room.
- Thousand-Yard Stare: As Kamau is slaughtering the innocent civilians, he stares into the distance with a blank expression. He's obviously traumatized by his own actions and hates himself for doing it.
- Time Skip: An unspecified period of months passes during the episode. Long enough for the cub the queen takes from the Babylonian king to mature into a fully grown leopard, and long enough for Fang's eggs to reach hatching time. The real life maturation of leopards would suggest somewhere between 18 months and 3 years, but it is unlikely for T. rex eggs to be unhatched for that long, and Amal, a young girl, also does not visibly age over that time.
- Wreathed in Flames: The Viking chief, emerging from Hell, is surrounded by flames. He can also conjure weapons out of flames, and the river boils when he steps on it.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Though no words are spoken, Mira's expression suggests this when she sees the other slave girl ringing the alarm bell.
