More stuff


* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Squiddy the squid only wears glasses and a bowtie.



* AutoDoc: Downplayed, as it is only in this episode, but "Doctor Bot" reveals Bot to have doctor skills, tending to a child's scraped knee.



* BeTheBall: One of Bot's abilities is to turn into a ball at will when a situation calls for it.



* CatsAreMean: The Shape Bandit is very clever and tricky when stealing shapes, but not mean. In fact, the reason why he stole all those shapes in the first place is because [[spoiler:he wanted to build a house to live in Umi City]]. When that was done, he inverts it altogether by never stealing shapes again.



* CountingSong: They have songs about counting by fives and tens.

Added DiffLines:

* HaveAGayOldTime: In "Umi Knights", the bard sings that "the Umi Knights are gay for saving the day". Given that the episode takes place in a medieval time period, when "gay" meant happy and not homosexual, this is justified, though this episode aired in 2014 and probably prompted some funny looks from parents watching with their kids.

Added DiffLines:

* BadassAdorable: While the titular team itself start out as just adorable, being a trio of tiny superheroes who are cute and friendly, overtime, as the show adds more action, they gradually become this, which is especially obvious by season 4, where the team does quite a lot of action and still look cute.
