The Mask

The Mask is Teen Titans Go! Season 2, Episode 9a (35a), and the 69th overall episode of the series.

Summary
Robin's past is cloaked in secrecy, and even his mask does more than hide his true identity, it also serves to hide a terrible secret that must stay hidden!

Plot
The plot starts off in the middle of street where the Titans were fighting against Punk Rocket, however they couldn't handle his angry, loud music that almost destroyed the city, so Robin decides to fight music with even worse music by screaming at him, viciously. Punk Rocket blasted Robin with hyper-sonic waves out of his guitar which also removed Robin's mask, much to his agony and covers his eyes. He retreats back to the Tower with the T-Plane, after he crashed into a wall with the R-Cycle while Raven punched Rocket much to his defeat.

Robin crashed the T-Plane into the Titans Tower, reaching the bathroom for a mask replacement. After that's done the other Titans are wondering about his mask issues. Robin claims that he's preventing the other villians to catch him easily on sight by sealing his true identity, otherwise that would put him and the Titans in danger that could cause also the destruction of the Tower. However, Raven thinks he has trust issues for not showing his face even to his own friends. Robin leaves and the Titans are starting to have thoughts of how he would look like without his mask, but to prove their each theory, they are off to remove his mask at any cost. Eventually they fail, as Robin still won't let them reveal his identity for how much he cares for Titans's lifes. Later on, the Titans decided to move out for how Robin doesn't seem to trust them that they can keep a secret too for his true identity. Making Robin nervous, he finally removes his mask, much to Titans's excitement, revealed to have a handsome face with strong cheek bones, beautiful eyes and a wide chin.

The Titans are really amazed of Robin's face without his mask on and they are also wondering why he had to hide it from them as they would like to have an handsome face like that, while Robin claims that his face is a burden. While the Titans are crying about their own faces for not being as handsome as Robin's, he tells them that its also a reason why he didn't wanted to reveal it. Suddenly a giant space ship made out of shiny diamonds from outer space arrives on the Tower's roof, revealing to be Klatak, queen of the Marshrouvian Empire searching for beautifull creatures as her to be her king as she found Robin matching his face with her's. However the Titans wouldn't let her to take Robin away that easily without a fight. As they started to fight against Klatak. she is invulnerable to "ugly and dark" powers and her technology is too handsome.

Robin takes her out only by himself enough to overwhelming her by its beauty face until she explodes along with her space ship. Now the Titans understood why Robin's identity needs to be hidden and tells him to put his mask on back for their sake and the world's. Even if it means that they will never see his gorgeus face again, they will always have the memory of Robin's beauty face. While the Titans are memorizing his face, Robin sneaks up behind the roof-access elevator removing his gorgeus mask to his normal face with his own mask on whispering that he succeded in covering his own identity. But when he trutly removed his mask, it revealed that he has a parasite-twin on his left eye just as how Starfire thought he would look like without his mask in the first place. It ends with Robin giving his parasite-twin a berry as a snack as he munches on it.
