-->'''Barkin:''' Ah, Senior Year, I remember it well. Best two years of my life; big man on the football team [...] dated the most popular girl in school [...] I even helped save the world a time or two.\\
'''Ron:''' Right on- wait, what?! You?
*** Though, he is probably lying here about saving the world. He's probably only saying that as to get into Ron's head and get himself more credibility from Ron and make Ron freak out about how "it's all downhill from here" and "the center cannot hold" as bullying Ron is basically Mr. Barkin's M.O. Barkin's statement even directly contradicts his actions in the GrandFinale, where he was basically a DirtyCoward while the Lowardians invaded.

* ParentTitleCharacterization: Kim usually refers to her parents as "Mom" and "Dad" like a typical teen. But when she wants to be taken seriously, she'll call her Mom "Mother" (she never does the gender-equivalent with her Dad, due to her father's tendency to be an OverprotectiveDad who still treats her like a little girl). And when she's in an affectionate mood and plays up her cuteness on the occasions where she accepts and wants her father's [[MyBelovedSmother smothering]], she'll refer to him as "Daddy".

* MirrorMoralityMachine

to:

* MirrorMoralityMachineMinoredInAsskicking: Kim's family, while mostly the {{Science Hero}}es to Kim's ActionHero, does not have much difficulty in keeping up with her when they end up accompanying her in the field despite no preparation beforehand.
* MirrorMoralityMachine: The [=HenchCo=] Attitudinator takes both the good and evil out of a person, then only puts the evil part back. When wrecked, it instead releases both parts in the two nearest people, with Ron ending up with all of Drakken's evil and Drakken being stuck with only his good side. It's later reworked by Electronique into a more typical version of the trope, being a ranged weapon that hits targets with beams that turn them good or evil depending on their current alignment.

Added DiffLines:

* ProphecyTwist: Two.
** The "Royal Pain" episode features an ancient prophecy that states the monarchy of a small nation will end with Wallace III. His father, Wallace II is naturally concerned and hires Kim to protect him. At the end of the episode, Wallace III decides he's going to abdicate the throne when he comes of age and instate a democracy. Ron {{Lampshades}} this. There's also a minor twist wherein the line "in the shadow of the castle" winds up referring to a castle on a mini golf course, not the actual royal palace.
** Monkey Fist's prophecy regarding the Ultimate Monkey Master ends with the line "he shall be unstoppable." It turns out that this is a bad translation (it was literally translated by a monkey), and should actually have been "he shall be ''Ron'' Stoppable."
