The episode deals with time paradoxes and is much more detailed in its storytelling than the first short was. The duo must face a mysterious cabal of murderous Mortys that turns into a full blowout battle in Tokyo complete with an anime-style plot twist that tugs on the emotions. It also features Rick being oddly heroic, a far cry from his usual narcissistic ways. However, the story still fits perfectly within the multiverse setting the main series has already introduced to audiences.
