- Mood Whiplash: Scrapperton was saddened when he hears about the deaths of some of the replicas. And then gets confused about the saliva delivered to him.
- Nightmare Sequence: Chiro gets a particularly chilling one where It starts on a pacific moment before he sees Jinmay in a terrible state similar to Beta's before vanishing into dust and then he finds himself in front of the broken helmets of the monkey team and a destroyed Shuggazoom city with a giant skeleton king laughing in his victory, all happening while the infected version of Antauri is telling him that he failed the team, the world and him.
