No Power

No Power is an episode of Teen Titans Go! Season 1.

Plot
Feeling the other Titans depend too much on their superpowers, Robin challenges them to go 24 hours without using their special abilities. To his distress, they all succeed, leading him to question his own value to the team.

Summary
The story begins with Robin presenting his all new obstacle course to the other Titans via their television. Excited to let them try it, he pulls a lever, dropping the couch down into the training room. Robin begins with a running start, jumping and dodging obstacles. Raven, as lazy as she is, simply teleports to the end. Beast Boy and Cyborg both decide to fly over the course, while Starfire easily destorys all of the obstacles with her eye-blasts.

Meanwhile, the exhausted Robin fails to make it to the end, and is nearly killed by a giant log. Barely alive, the weak and injured Robin crawls across the floor, extremely upset. Robin immediately complains that it is no fair because they used their powers, and the whole point was to test your strength and stamina. He then makes a bet with them that they cannot last 24 hours without using their powers, which they all accept. The terms of the bet say the winner will be the new team leader.

Almost immidiately after their meeting, Beast Boy transforms into a gorilla to open a jar of pickles. However, Robin catches him, and stops him. A few seconds later, Cyborg tries to secretly warm up his burrito with his hand torch. He is also caught, as Robin is still in the kitchen. Raven enters the kitchen, unable to walk, because she has almost never had to walk in her entire life. Thinking Robin won't notice, she starts to hover, but Robin is still standing right there. Starfire marches into the room right behind her, announcing that she will be in her room "partaking of the mustard". The lazy tamaranean decides to drill a hole in the wall with her eye-beams, instead of walking five steps to the left to go through the door. Robin is standing on the other side of the hole, making sure she knows that he caught her.

"A Wee Bit Later..."

The crime-alert alarm sounds through out the Tower, and the Titans rush to the living room to see their new mission. They soon realize that the H.I.V.E. Five is up to their old tricks. Before they can leave, Robin makes sure that they know that this is NOT a time-out, and that are still not supposed to use their powers. The team runs to the elevator, with Raven slowly limping behind.

A few minutes later, the villains proudly exit the bank with large bags of money. Robin swings on his grappling-hook, and kicks Mammoth in the face. The other Titans observe the Boy Wonder's battle, and realize that Robin likes to use common objects as weapons. After realizing they can do the same, the Titans excitedly rush to find weapons. Cyborg picks up a public mailbox, Starfire rips off a tree branch, Raven holds up her walker, and Beast Boy picks up a cat by the tail, using him like a bat. Cyborg leaps into the air, and violently beats Gizmo with his mailbox while Starfire rapidly pokes Jinx in the face with her stick. Raven uses her walker to plow into Billy Numerous at the same Beast Boy's cat escapes, and mauls See-More's face in a "Cat-nado".

See-More stumbles backward, right into Mammoth. Mammoth loses his balance, and accidentally drops a car on top of the both of them. Robin is shocked to see how quickly his team beat the villains, and even more shocked to hear that they did not think it was hard at all. Angrily, Robin shakes his fists at them, before they return to the Tower.

The other Titans are now relaxing, using their gadgets to do whatever they feel like. R ealizing that he might actually lose his position as the team leader,  Robin angrily storms away. A little bit later, the crime-alert alarm sounds off again, only this time, Robin is calling for help. He tells them that he is captured by an unknown villain, and is tied up to a time bomb at the end of the obstacle course. He begs them to use their powers, before he is killed.

This time, the Titans decide that they will do the obstacle course the right way, as they don't want to risk losing the bet. The team heads foward, but poor Raven's Segway gets stuck on the first obstacle. Cyborg jumps, ducks, summer-saults, and slides, but before he knows it, both of his arms are chopped off by saws. With only 26 seconds remaining, Robin once again begs them to use their powers. Starfire is stopped after beingshot by multiple lasers, and having her hair burned off by flame-throwers. She attempts to continued, but is flattened like a pancake.

Meanwhile, Raven finally makes it past the first obstacle, but is suddenly smashed by a giant log. Robin begs Beast Boy to fly to his rescue, but he refuses, telling him that he can handle the course. Beast Boy leaps over several collapsing floors, and barely makes it to the last platform. Cheering triumphantly, Beast Boy fails to realize that his platform is a booby trap too, and falls in a hole.

3...2...1...The Titans are too late to save Robin. As a loud alarm sounds, thousands of rocket launchers, flame-throwers, bazookas, and machine guns surround him. The other Titans gasp in horror.

Thousands of gunshots are fired simultaneously, lighting up the room as the hit him. KA-BOOM! A gigantic explosion lights up the room. Robin's head splats onto the ground, making all of the Titans shriek in disgust. Cyborg and Starfire begin weeping for the loss of their friend, while Beast Boy picks up his remains. Robin's head begins to shake as sparks fly out of it, and the Titans are shocked to hear his voice. They look up and see Robin, perfectly unharmed.

Robin explains that what they saw was a robot duplicate. The Titans are angered at him, telling him that was a terrible way to try to win the contest. Robin sadly explains that his reason for doing so was that it really bothered him that they could get by so easily without their powers, and it made him feel worthless. The other titans comfort him, telling him that he is not just a Titan, but he is their leader, whom they look to for advice and guidance.

Robin smiles, realizing that they are right, he IS the leader, he IS special. But suddenly, the timer goes off, meaning 24 hours has come to an end. The other titans excitedly announce that they are all the new leaders, and run off, leaving Robin to once again feel worthless.

Trivia

 * Raven was the only Titans to NOT make it for the whole 24 hours. She was flying while the other Titans were crying at Robin's "death".
 * Starfire has an interest in mustard as seen in this episode, referencing the original Teen Titans series where it was her favorite drink, which was first established in the episode called The Sum of his Parts.
 * Music playing at the beginning of Hey Pizza! is heard when Starfire is forced to walk to her room without her powers to partake in mustard, stage music from Grab That Grub plays when every Titan except Robin easily completes the obstacle course with their powers, music playing at the very beginning of Terra-ized plays when the Titans (save for Robin) finally get used to their powers, and the main theme of The Left Leg plays as the theme when the Titans get forced into the obstacle course on or near the couch.
 * This is the first time since, Pie Bros that Starfire has lost her hair, thus making this the third time overall.
 * At the end of the episode, the Titans complete their challenge declaring that Robin is no longer the leader of the Teen Titans.
 * Near the beginning of the episode when Robin states that whoever won the challenge would be the new leader of the team, the Teen Titans logo appears also with the words "Tuesdays at 7:30" which was supposed to be when new episodes aired. This happened because season one was already produced before the air date changed to Wednesdays.
 * As of this episode, Raven is the only Titan who did not say the phrase "Titans Go" in either series.
 * Aquaman appears on a bus advertisement for the Jump City Aquarium.
 * The Riddler's question mark reappears from Parasite and Staff Meeting.
 * The purple hatchback from Driver's Ed also returns.
 * In this episode, Cyborg craves a frozen burrito at lunchtime, referencing Burger vs. Burrito when Beast Boy helped Cyborg to change his negative thoughts on burritos. Also, Beast Boy at lunchtime is shown to give up easily when trying to open a well-sealed pickle jar, referencing Matched when Raven said that as an example to when he gives up all the time.
 * Seeing the fake Robin's head off is probably another reason why this TV show is rated PG.
 * Starfire doesn't want to use the door and prefers to do a hole in the wall, this is the second time a titan shows laziness because their power. The first time is Cyborg in the episode Robin Super Robin
