* AmbiguousTimePeriod: The short at least takes place after Season 3, as evidenced by the magazine comics featuring Ketsu, which go into Season 3.
* AsYouKnow: In the novelization, Sabine and Hera explain to each other who Ketsu is and why she hasn't joined yet for the sake of ExpositionDump & if viewers have forgotten who she is (as of this writing, she last appeared in Season 2 of ''Rebels''--two years ago before ''Forces of Destiny'' began--and hasn't appeared in the show since).
* BittersweetEnding: Yay! The child is saved! Ketsu is a rebel!... But mission failed; not a single crate of food was taken back. Unless Hera magnet-grabbed the crates like in other episodes of ''Rebels'', or even found another place to steal crates.
* CallBack: To the events of "Blood Sisters". Other encounters with Ketsu in "The Forgotten Droid" and the magazine comics aren't talked about, though justified in that they're besides the point.

* WouldntHurtAChild: While we don't know how she would've dealt with young children prior to "Blood Sisters" and she does mock a preteen boy in "Too Late to Change" from the ''Rebels Magazine'', a Chadra-Fan child refugee found hiding in the food crate in the midst of a firefight is used to show that Ketsu does care and is capable of being a heroine by helping Sabine in trying to get both him and the crate back to the ''Ghost''.

In [[Magazine/StarWarsRebelsMagazine the magazine comics]], in one incident, she informs Sabine that an old friend of hers has been imprisoned by Black Sun so she can break him out, and in another incident, she refuses to follow orders to kill a former hitman of Black Sun who quit the organization because he was tired of killing & wanted to take care of his family.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Ketsu joins the Rebellion at the end of the episode, a rather important choice for her to make, in spite of the show being about minor moments in the characters' lives.
* LastNameBasis: Ketsu refers to Sabine as "Wren", at least in the novelization.
* WouldntHurtAChild: While we don't know how she would've dealt with young children prior to "Blood Sisters" and she does mock a preteen boy in "Too Late to Change" from the ''Rebels Magazine'', a Chadra-Fan child refugee found hiding in the food crate in the midst of a firefight is used to show that Ketsu does care and is capable of being a heroine by helping Sabine in trying to get both him and the crate back to the ''Ghost''.
