* BatmanGambit: Tommy quitting the KND, then making Father a KND operative. Father [[OutGambitted later bites him back hard]] in [[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorS5E13IT Operation I.T.]]
* BittersweetEnding: Leaning on the Sweet side. Tommy destroys the Animalization Ray and saves the KND, but to do so he had to remove his booger from the Code Module to become immune to the ray, and is locked out as a failsafe, meaning he is no longer an operative. He really doesn't mind much since he's always been indirectly helping everyone else anyway.

* DarkestHour: Every KND operative is turned into an animal. Well, ''almost'' every operative... because [[HeroicSacrifice the only one left clocked out]].
Added DiffLines:
* ExactWords: The Animalization Ray does exactly what it was made to do when it turns KND operatives into animals. That's it. They didn't say anything about it affecting those ''not'' in the KND.
Added DiffLines:
** The Delightful Children becoming animals, almost as if [[WesternAnimation/OperationZERO they were KND operatives]]. Or [[BrainwashedandCrazy used to be]].

* TransformationConventions: The children of the world are transformed into animals and the end result follows NationalStereotypes. Japanese KND Numbuh Three becomes a crane, fat Numbuh Two becomes a hippo, and Australian Numbuh Four becomes a koala. The best, though is the misanthropic Irish operative Numbuh 86 becoming a dog, at which a bystander comments, "Well, ''that'' figures". The BigBad of the series, a shadowy man known as "Father", is hit with the animal transformation as well. He turns into a panther. Funnily enough, he still has the smoking pipe he always has sticking out of his mouth

* MindlessSheep: When the Delightful Children from Down the Lane fall victim to the Animalization Ray, they get turned into a flock of sheep, symbolizing how they follow Father's orders without protest and rarely, if ever, actually think for themselves.

* ItMakesSenseInContext: The KND, DCFDTL, and Father turning into animals make in context, for example:
** The animals that Numbuhs 3, 4, 5 turn into are references to their ethnic backgrounds. Numbuh 5 turns into a gazelle as she is African-American. Numbuh 4 turns into a koala as he is from Australia. Numbuh 3 turns into a crane, probably a red-crowned crane, and cranes are mostly found in East Asia, as she is Japanese-American. The crane also, perhaps accidentally, suits Numbuh 3's personality--cranes are known to be graceful, energetic, and commonly associated with beauty...and can also be [[BewareTheNiceOnes surprisingly aggressive]].
** Numbuh 2 turns into a hippopotamus because they are the heaviest land animals and he is overweight.
** Numbuh 1 turns into a seal because seals are bald and partly because he barks out his orders to his team (seals tend to bark to speak).
** Numbuh 362 turns into a monkey because she has flexible fighting moves and is rather smart.
** Numbuh 86 turns into an Irish setter because she yells a lot.
** Father turns into a panther because his trademark color is black and he is very violent.
** DCFDTL turn into sheep because they stay together with the same way a flock of sheep does. They also follow adults' orders without protest.

He's apparently wrong when Father reveals that his machine ''doesn't'' do that.
