Tropes:
- An Aesop: A good leader not only takes charge, but also listens to their partners.
- Combat Parkour: Zahra's specialty is her parkour skills, to the point that Five and Miko stare at her in awe.
- Even the Dog Is Ashamed: Even Ally is shown to walk away from Five after he lets Mitch's advice go to his head.
- Ignored Expert: Haneesh knows a lot about hacking and the truth about the Multiplayer glitch, but Five ignores him throughout until he learns the hard way.
- Logical Weakness: The Multiplayer glitch the Techs are after operate on Multiplayer logic. Even if one is defeated, they can always respawn as long as the Respawn Point, a ship hidden in the air, is active. The Techs destroy the Respawn Point to defeat them all for good.
- Poor Communication Kills: If Five let Haneesh explain what's going about the Multiplayer glitch, he would've been able to destroy their spawn point much earlier and save himself the humiliation.
- Refusal of the Call: Mitch is taken out of action after being exposed to a nanovirus, leaving Five, Miko, Zahra, and Haneesh to team up. Five becomes a temporary leader because no one else wants to. Hannesh had a bad experience leading at one point and refuses, Zahra used all of her EXP for team support and doesn't feel qualified enough, and Miko doesn't like the overall responsibility.
- With Friends Like These...: When Five confesses why he was acting like Mitch, Zahra and Haneesh make it clear that while they are indeed an effective team with Mitch, they can't stand his attitude.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Miko is not happy at how Five starts acting just as abrasive as Mitch throughout the episode.
- What Would X Do?: Mitch encourages Five to act more like him while out of action, in order to gain respect of Mitch's allies. Five begins dressing and acting like Mitch to a point that Miko dubs him the victim of a 'Mitchpire'.Miko: Have you looked in a mirror lately? Do Mitchpires even have reflections?
