Added DiffLines:

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: "Creativity" had General Bu use magic paintbrushes to trap the Elements inside of an enclosure that was made up of four magically conjured walls... which his army was outside of, along with Flamo and Grub.

* EvilIsBurningHot: Flamo, the Fire Elemental, works for the evil General Bu.

* HollywoodMirage: Jin Hou experiences a lot of these in "Determination." But then the ice tea stand, which the group decides to ignore, turned out to be RealAfterAll.
--> '''Woman:''' Oy, I told you this was a stupid place to set up!
* {{Jerkass}}: The Nian from "Determination." He punishes anyone who drinks from his oasis by enslaving them, even though the oasis is enchanted to never run dry, and if they fail to complete whatever task that he assigns them in an impossibly short period of time, they get TakenForGranite. When Lin Hou does complete the task (washing a mountain of dishes) in time, the Nian just breaks one of the "irreplaceable" dishes, blames it on Jin Hou, and keeps him as a slave, who he eventually decides to turn to stone, with Lin Hou only being saved at the last minute by the Qilin, whose magic was previously stolen by the Nian.
* KillerRabbit: The stick figures that General Bu conjures up with the magic paintbrushes in "Creativity" look ridiculous, but turn out to be far more dangerous than his Terracottas.


Added DiffLines:

* MultipleHeadCase: General Bu chugging an entire brain-stimulating formula, when he was only supposed to drink just a few drops, causes him to grow a second head in "Caring."


Added DiffLines:

* SimpletonVoice: Grub has a low and slow voice, as befitting a character who, even after drinking a brain-stimulating formula, thinks that 1+1=3.
* SnakePeople: The apothecary sisters, aptly named Green Snake and White Snake, in "Caring."
* SurroundedByIdiots: General Bu laments this in "Caring."
--> '''General Bu:''' Why can't I get good help?
* TakenForGranite: The fate of anyone who fails to wash the Nian's dishes in a timely manner in "Determination."
* ThirstyDesert: The Desert of Unbearable Heat from "Determination."
--> '''General Bu:''' Flamo, Grub, I've got a mission for you. You must go to the Desert of Unbearable Heat.\\
'''Grub:''' [[AskAStupidQuestion Is it hot?]]\\
'''General Bu:''' ''Unbearably.''


Added DiffLines:

* WeaksauceWeakness: Raindrop's powers are reliant on ambient moisture, so they stop working if it is too dry, something which Flamo almost always took advantage of by starting a bunch of fires whenever he fought Raindrop.
