* AnAesop: Being hero isn't about glory, rewards, or recognition. It's about doing the right thing.



* UnknownRival: Dr. Animo to Dr. Kelly, the scientist who won the Verity Award that wanted so badly. Ironically, he's rather humble about having long-received the Verity Award and credits that it was all thanks to the [[DramaticIrony well-adjusted and reputable scientists]] he worked alongside.

Added DiffLines:

* IgnoredEpiphany: When Ben gripes about how bummed out he is about not getting a golden Sumo Slammer card despite all the good work he does, Max wisely advises him that being a hero should be its own reward. Ben merely shrugs off the advice as being too cheesy to take seriously. And it doesn't help that per Ben's guess, Max really ''[[PlayedForLaughs did]]'' read such advice from a gift card.

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Towards the climax, Ben (as Stinkfly) happens upon a golden Sumo Slammer card in his reach. But at the same time, he sees an innocent colleague of Dr. Animo's is in danger. As much as he wanted the card, Ben reluctantly abandons it as it's buried in rubble, saving the man in the process.


Added DiffLines:

* ShadowArchetype: Upon his arrest, Dr. Animo rants that he deserves the Verity Award and he's entitled to it. Ben isn't too surprised that his words sound familiar, as ''he'' spent the episode believing he deserves a golden Sumo Slammer card for all his hard work as a hero. The difference is, Ben overcame his need to be [[DudeWheresMyReward rewarded]].
