The Black Cube

"The Black Cube" is an episode of Wander Over Yonder.
==Synopsis==
Wander convinces a down-on-his-luck villain to spend a day looking on the bright side of things instead of collecting the souls of others.
==Plot==
Following the events of "The Battle Royale", The Black Cube of Darkness has retired from villainy and retreated to his run down apartment in a sad and depressing city where everything is rendered in black and white (implied to be how the Cube sees the world). The Cube is put upon by his landlord, who is smart enough to see past his soul sucking ability, and his girlfriend Stacy breaks up with him over the phone as he is unable to pick it up, nor speak for that matter. After having trouble opening his car door, he is approached by Wander who wants to help him, while Sylvia wants to avoid him due to his notoriety. After his car gets towed, Wander talks him out of sucking the truck driver's soul and tells him to be happy and helpful.
The Cube buys himself a wig and begins to happily float down the street, though everyone continues to avoid him. He is mocked by a trio of teenagers who belittle his attempts at being happy. The Cube helps a woman enter her apartment, but she angrily rebuffs him when she realizes who he is. He loses his wig and goes to his job at a fast food restaurant where the manager (the landlord's twin brother), puts him to work at the cash register. Wander appears and gives him a very generous tip without buying anything, but the teens return and frustrate the cube into destroying the cash register; resulting in the teens stealing the money. The manager fires the cube and he passes by Stacy, now with another man.
The Cube stops by a bridge where the teens return to mock him again. The lead teen ends up falling into the water below and the Cube decides to rescue him. Due to the teen ungratefully refusing his help, the Cube is forced to use his powers to rescue him. The teen recovers, but believes that the Cube pushed him into the water to steal his soul and a mob forms to confront him. Wander arrives to try and quell the Cube from freaking out, but he ends up draining his soul. Sylvia angrily lashes at the mob for being ungrateful and only thinking of themselves and they all admit to having flaws of their own as Wander miraculously recovers. The Cube feeling happy, suddenly sees the world in color now as everyone finally congratulates him. Wander draws a smiley face on the Cube due to the precipitation and a small tear forms where his eye is.
===End credits===
The Black Cube is shown cleaning up his apartment and making himself up as his new girlfriend, Tracy, leaves a message on his answering machine.
