8	!!This web animation provides examples of:
9
10	* AllThereInTheScript: Aviv Jacobi's name isn't spoken in the main short, instead featured in the credits.
11	* BringIt: Before fighting Encyclopath's henchmen, Origami settles into a combat stance and gestures for them to approach.
12	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Jacobi tells the assembled villains that they all share a common problem, we get this:
13	-->'''Miss Conduct:''' Lack of... psychotherapy?\
14	''({{Beat}})''\
15	'''Jacobi:''' I meant the Red Eclipse.
16	* {{Contortionist}}: [[ProfessionalKiller Origami]] is introduced by cutting herself out of the package she shipped herself in.
17	* ElementalHairComposition: Miss Conduct's hair is pure energy, just like the rest of her body.
18	* EvilOldFolks:
19	** Verdict is a typical looking elderly cartoonish judge and he's also a supervillain
20	** Miss Conduct also has some aspects to her design that imply she's an older woman.
21	* EyeScream: During her fight with the KingMook, Origami caves his face in with a headbutt. The man proceeds to spit out his own eyeball, get up, ''[[{{Determinator}} and carry on fighting]]''.
22	* FreezeFrameBonus: By pausing during the massacre, it's possible to see several moments where Origami shows herself to be NotSoStoic. For example, during the final sword fight with a KingMook, after he gets up following Origami's infliction of EyeScream, you can see for a split second that Origami has a "[[WhyWontYouDie holy shit, you survived that?]]" expression.
23	* TheGhost: In spite of being the title character, the Red Eclipse does not make an appearance.
24	* HandsGoDown: When the other villains discuss how to deal with the Red Eclipse, Blot raises his hand, hesitant.
25	-->'''Jacobi:''' Do you ''have'' a [[PianoDrop piano]]?\
26	''(Blot reabsorbs his hand)''
27	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Miss Conduct gives Origami her phone number after witnessing the latter's massacre of Encyclopath's mooks.
28	* MeaningfulName: If they ARE even their names/codenames, then each of the words on each of the Factotums' hats each roughly describe them. The short first one's hat says "cockalorum", which means "a self-important little man", the sole female one's hat says "termagnant", which means "a harsh-tempered or overbearing woman", etc.
29	* OpaqueLenses: Verdict's glasses are completely white.
30	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Encyclopath speaks almost exclusively this way. Blot engages in CopycatMockery, while Miss Conduct accuses him of having DelusionsOfEloquence.
31	* SoundtrackDissonance: Origami's massacre of Encyclopath's "factotums" is backed by "[[Music/RayCharles Hit the Road, Jack]]".
32	* TheStinger: After the credits, there's a short scene of Origami in her apartment, cooking on the stove. The camera zooms out to show a bunch of dollar bills on her table folded into origami cranes.
33	* WholePlotReference: The premise is that the villains are meeting in a warehouse to discuss a way to dispatch the Red Eclipse, it opens with them playing poker while waiting for Aviv. All of this pays homage to the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Almost Got 'Im".
