Plot Summary[]
Title gag[]
The "Clash-A-Rama" title is seen floating in the sky. A Giant kicks a Goblin into the title. The Goblin, stuck in the second "A" of "Rama!" sneakily steals the dot from the exclamation point and smirks.
Introduction[]
The episode starts off with two Bombers at an Arena, watching Goblins flying at them. The Bombers assume that a village is testing their Spring Traps. In reality, a Giant is kicking the Goblins far away because they took his lunch money. The Giant kicks a Goblin into the title, leading to the title gag.
Downtime in the Village[]
Two Archers are seen boredly sitting on a Tower. Observing how "too much downtime makes the village soft," they decide to start doing a shooting contest. They begin performing increasingly impressive trick shots. A Wall Breaker soon joins the shooting contest and performs trick shots using his bomb. A trick shot blows up a coffin, causing a Skeleton's skull to be set on fire. Gradually, more troops begin joining the contest, but their trick shots also become more destructive. The troops end up inadvertently destroying their own village, with the original Archer remarking that "the drills paid off."
Goblin University[]
At the Town Hall, Eartha, a Villager, is teaching an English class for Goblins. As the Goblins enter the classroom, a Builder tells Eartha that teaching Goblins to speak is useless, as Goblins only enjoy stealing and nothing else. The Builder then confiscates some flags from a Goblin, but accidentally rips off the Goblin's pants, leaving his private parts exposed (though pixelated). Eartha begins the class by telling the Goblins that she may learn more than them. Eartha asks a Goblin to say "hello," but he says gibberish and the rest of the Goblins laugh at him. Eartha then asks him to say "gold," but the greedy Goblins assume there is gold hidden somewhere in the classroom. The Goblins scour the classroom in a frenzy, and Eartha decides to stop the class.
Later, Eartha and her Goblin students are at the Town Hall Grill, where the Goblins are learning to place orders. Crug orders sawdust and a glass of milk, much to Eartha's surprise. The Goblins eventually graduate from Eartha's class, and all of them have found jobs throughout the village. Crug decides to become an English teacher himself and teach other Goblins. After Eartha notices Crug opening his own English school, she realizes that her work is done. She then begins stealing gold from across the village, just like a Goblin.
A Visit to Hogmax[]
A Hog Rider prepares some slop for his old hog, Rocket. The hog slowly makes his way to the slop tray, then bathes in the slop. The Hog Rider realizes that he might need a new hog, so he takes his hog to Hogmax to have him cleaned up. In the meantime, the Hog Rider tries out some new hogs, but none of them suits him well. The Hog Rider decides to just take home a regular hog, but he ends up choosing Rocket again (who has been cleaned up at Hogmax). Upon realizing the Hog Rider has brought home Rocket again, the two then happily sit in the hog slop. Later, the Hog Rider and his hog watch a TV Royale Live broadcast together at home.
TV Royale Tensions[]
How did Maren know Eldin had a tattoo there in the first place?!
At the Royal Arena, a TV Royale Live broadcast begins, hosted by Eldin, a Wizard, and Maren, a Villager. The broadcast reports the battle between two Clash Royale players, CruSSSher 145 (Blue) and NoMercy17 (Red). As the battle progresses, Eldin favors the Blue team, while Maren favors the Red team. An on-site reporter, Ana, showcases the unsafe conditions in the arena before she gets hit by a Freeze spell. A "Kiss Cam" is also shown, with two Wall Breakers kissing each other and causing their teeth to get tangled.
As tensions between Eldin and Maren reach a peak, they expose each other's biases on camera. Eldin shows Maren's dressing room, which is covered in Red team fan gear. Maren then rips off Eldin's shirt, revealing his Blue team tattoo. Eldin then quits, but he learns he is being replaced by a Minion. Maren waves Eldin goodbye as the TV Royale Live broadcast ends.
