* CreepyChild: Onion.

to:

* CreepyChild: Onion.Onion's disturbing characteristics are played to hilt in this episode, to the point he comes off as overtly demonic in one scene.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Steven says his Ranger Guy is unique because the hat is miscolored. The Ranger Guy on the machine picture has a black hat, whereas the one Onion carries around has a white hat, and turns out to have been stolen from Steven. [[FailedASpotCheck Somehow, Steven didn't notice this.]]



* GaleForceSound: Steven quietly tells his father "Thank you" for a bag full of quarters to try to replace Ranger Guy. Greg couldn't hear him, and Steven repeats [[SuddenlyShouting so loudly]] the wind blows Greg's hair back.



* InfernalBackground: Onion walks toward Steven to get the duplicator behind a background of flames. It's not just a visual, Onion literally set part of the boardwalk on fire.
* InstantEmergencyResponse: Onion crashes a scooter, and though the fire it starts instantly grows enormous, it's put out by firemen within two minutes.



* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: Steven advises Amethyst to emulate [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]] when moving through a pile of small objects, but Amethyst has no idea what he's talking about.
-->'''Steven:''' Try and act like a rich duck.\\
'''Amethyst''' What does that mean?



* SuperWeaponAverageJoe: Onion is just a child and the duplicator isn't even meant to be a weapon, but with some creative (ab)use he's able to (at least temporarily) overpower the Crystal Gems.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Steven comes to trade Onion, never giving any notice to the ''raging wall of flames'' growing behind the younger child.




to:

* VictoryIsBoring: Steven replace his Ranger Guy figure, but then doesn't have anything to do with it.
-->''Were you always this boring, Ranger Guy?''

* HowDidThatGetInThere: Pearl comments on how messy Steven's room is. To prove her point, she opens a window where out flies a seagull holding a pizza crust in its beak and wearing a banana peel. Steven gives the phrase, and Pearl says it's because he leaves his window open.
