* AlasPoorVillain: Gumball and Darwin feels bad about Rob being erased out of existence so they got Banana Barbara to repaint him back.
* BittersweetEnding: Gumball, Darwin, and Banana Joe rescue Barbara. Rob's fate is left uncertain[[note]][[spoiler:"The Inquisition" would eventually reveal what happens to him]][[/note]] and it's heavily implied that [[AmbiguousSituation something big is going to happen soon]]. For added measure, Barbara hints that the world [[EndOfSeriesAwareness will have no future soon]].

* LivingShadow: At one point, Gumball's shadow comes to life and tries to direct him, Darwin, and Joe to where Barbara is, but they decide to go in the opposite direction, causing it to scream in frustration (with no sound) before begrudgingly following them.



* RewritingReality: Barbara can actually alter reality with her paintings (and may have been ''causing'' the future rather than predicting it). At first she uses it to alert Banana Joe, Gumball and Darwin where she is, but when that fails she simply paints a portal for them to stumble into. Rob then uses this power to attack them; for example, by drawing a crack in front of them, or changing the floor into water. Eventually, they turn the tables on Rob and erase him out of the painting, and out of existence.
