1* CatharsisFactor: Baymax calls [[spoiler: the Gorg a coward and Oh pulling a BreakThemByTalking on Smek, turning the Boov against the Gorg.]]
2* CharacterRerailment: One could make this argument for [[spoiler: the Gorg, seeing as their personality is more in line with how it was in [[Literature/TheTrueMeaningOfSmekday the book]] than the movie (loosely) based on it.]]
3* CrossoverShip: Hiro and Riley's relationship, the main cornerstone of the fic. Also classifies as a ToyShip considering they are both still minors.

5* HilariousInHindsight:
6** Riley's line at the beginning of the fic about being careful about talking to herself takes on another silly dimension when she becomes [[spoiler: TheEmpath]] and begins hearing [[spoiler: her emotions]].
7** Wasabi's van becoming this story's version of Slushious becomes this after the episode in [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries the cartoon]] where said van is fished out of the harbor and similarly upgraded.
8* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: The Gorg crosses this by kidnapping Abigail and holding her hostage, threatening to kill her if Callaghan doesn't comply with its wishes.]]
9* NightmareFuel: Riley being electrocuted by the neurotransmitter after Oh adjusts it. [[spoiler: And then her powers kicking in and she struggles with controlling them at first.]]
