* BadassDecay: [[spoiler:Sailor does less well in every fight he gets into. This is justified in that his later opponents are tougher and better-armed and have strength in numbers.]]

* UncannyValley: Bobby Peru wearing a nylon stocking over his head. It doesn't obscure his freaky face one bit, but it does cover his ears and hairline, making him look not quite human.
