Part two of the Oma Island trilogy
As Yugo learns more of his past by Adamai, the rest of his friend is targeted by Grougaloragran, who's attacking in response to Rubilax' aura. However, a bigger threat looms in as Nox's minions find the island and prepare to teleport their master there...
Tropes:
- Action Survivor: Pretty much the rest of the heroes without Yugo as they try to outrun Grougal and survive his attacks.
- All for Nothing: While Yugo and Adamai wipes the floor with Nox's Grambos, they are unable to prevent them from summoning Nox to Oma.
- Aura Vision: Since Grougal is blind, he can only sense people through their auras. Because of Rubilax' red aura he's unable to tell the heroes apart from the demon and attacks them, believing them to be enemies. Once Rubilax is separated from the others, the dragon is able to recognize Ruel.
- Chekhov's Gun: The Noxine that infiltrated the brotherhood's ship in "Calm Blue Sea" and stayed hidden in its remains after it was destroyed by Grougaloragran send a signal to the other noxines at the beginning of the episode, causing them to come to Oma Island, allowing Nox to finally find the island and Grougaloragran after years of search for him.
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends with the heroes teleported in the middle of some snowy land while Grougal prepares to fight Nox.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Yugo and Adamai vs. Nox's minions. The rest of the heroes fare no better against Grougal, with only Ruel being able to force him to turn back from human to dragon.
- Deus ex Machina: Ruel's Heroic Second Wind which allows him to temporarily disable Grougal seems to be a gift from Enutrof. When he later tries to beg for a second miracle and swears to double his offerings, the god coldly reminds him that two times zero is still zero and tells him to start running.
- Dishing Out Dirt: After invoking Enutrof, Ruel is able to use some very powerful magic to bury Grougaloragran's human form under tons of rock for a while.
- Good Is Not Nice: Grougaloragran is a good guy, but ruthless towards perceived threats. He also threatens to eat Ruel if he doesn't put the stolen hoard back.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Recognizing the threat, Grougal uses a teleportation spell on the group plus Adamai to send them to safety while he takes Nox on alone.
- Mr. Exposition: Grougaloragran, once he meets Yugo, proceeds to provide a background for the Eliatrope race, their powers, relationship with Dragons and the Eliacube, the product of their magical science which can empower all those who wield it.
- Negated Moment of Awesome: Rather than risk the lives of Yugo and his friends in an epic battle against Nox, Grougal uses a teleport spell to send them all away.
- Outscare the Enemy: Invoked by the leader of the Grambo when one minion claims that Yugo and Adamai are too strong.Grambo Leader: Those who withdraw will have to face the wrath of the master! Those who run away will have to face the great Nox!
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
- With a healthy dose of Badass Boast, from both Grougal...Grougaloragran: [as he's preparing to face the heroes] You miserable Shushu, Grougaloragran will sent you back to the Hell you shouldn't have left!
- ... and Nox:Nox: Goodbye? Oh, your friends are going to be so disappointed... you should have said "farewell"...
- With a healthy dose of Badass Boast, from both Grougal...
- Shout-Out:
- When Grougaloragran uses his full name for the first time, Dally misunderstands it as Gourenn Lagrann.
- The scene where Enutrof scoffs at Ruel's request calls to mind a series of French ads spoofing Don Camillo.
- Skewed Priorities: Even with a huge, angry Dragon performing a Menacing Stroll towards him, Ruel is still trying to get his hands on every single gold coin he can reach.
- Stripped to the Bone: Bone fishes are surrounding the Noxine inside the shipwreck, implying this is a side effect of draining their Life Energy.
- Teleportation Sickness: It is not clear whether it's from the teleportation itself or another factor (like maybe the massive temperature difference between a tropical island and the snowlands), but the whole Brotherhood of the Tofu ends up unconscious after Grougaloragran wisks them away with his magic.
