* CrazyAwesome: Sanson saving the Gang from the circling sharks.

Because Nadia has stolen food from their camp, all they have left to eat is meat. Nadia refuses to cooperate and declares instead to starve. Later she becomes desperate and finds a can of spinach.

Unfortunately the spinach is rotten and Nadia falls ill. Searching for a cure, Jean ends up in a cave where he becomes stoned by hallucinogenic mushrooms, causing him to fall into a trance.

Later, Nadia gives Jean his first real kiss — not realizing that he is too delirious (as a result of the aforementioned mushrooms) to know about it.

* NeverMyFault: In her zeal to deny she consumed spoiled tins, Nadia blamed Neo Atlantis agents for supposedly leaving poisoned tins around the island!

* {{Flashback}}: While ill, Nadia has two of her childhood in the Circus. The first one is about her Ringmaster euthanizing her pet elephant and the second one is about him threatening her with a whip to train on the trapeze.

* TrainingFromHell: From Nadia's second flashback, it seems this was how she was trained to use the trapeze: Her Ringmaster cracked a whip on the ground to frighten her. [[SarcasmMode Who would have thought someone ready to sell his charge to people he didn't even know would also have abusively trained her]]?

* NoOHSACompliance: Nadia's flashbacks. No minor should have been near an animal as potentially dangerous as an elephant, nor should they have had to train up in so high height on a trapeze -- both instances that end with Nadia injured. Justified, though, between the state of labor laws in the 19th Century and the Ringmaster's personality.

* NoOHSACompliance: No minor should have been near an animal as potentially dangerous as an elephant nor have to train up in so high height on a trapeze, both of which happened to Nadia, the former causing her to be wounded.

* BlackComedyAnimalCruelty: Sanson shooting the sharks that were about to devour the Grandis Gang.

* TrainingFromHell: From Nadia's second flashback, it seems this was how she was trained to use the trapeze: Her Ringmaster cracked a whip on the ground to frighten her. [[SarcasmMode Who would have thought someone ready to sell his charge to people he didn't even know would have abusively trained her]]?

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Subverted. The Grandis Gang looks like they're finally (and literally) about to sleep with the fishes...and they're not taking it well. At all. To put it in perespective, Sanson's ''literally'' sleeping through his own impending death (which leaves Hanson enraged that the last sound he'll ever hear on this Earth is his buddy's snoring).

* FirstKiss: Well, duh! It's in the title. Alas, thanks to his ill-advised fungal diet, Jean has no actual memory of this, which will cause problems next episode.

* {{Flashback}}: While ill, Nadia has two of her childhood in the Circus. The first one is about her Ringmaster euthanizing her pet elephant and the second one is about him threatening her with a whip to train on the trapeze.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ironically, there ''is'' a major piece of foreshadowing dropped during Gargoyle's appearance. With Nemo believed to be dead, the Neo-Atlanteans' new objective is to locate and restore what they call the Holy Fortress. This is the first indirect mention of ''Red Noah'', which will become ''very'' important to the climax of the series.

* {{Filler}}: Still here? Yep, the Island Arc's continues. The only real incremental movement is revealing the Grandis Gang survived the events of Episode 21.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Subverted. The Grandis Gang looks like they're finally (and literally) about to sleep with the fishes...and they're not taking it well. At all. To put it in perespective, Sanson's literally *sleeping* through his own impending death (which leaves Hanson's enraged that the last sound he'll ever hear on this Earth is his buddy's snoring).

* FaceDeathWithDignity: The Grandis Gang looks like they're finally (and literally) about to sleep with the fishes...and they're not taking it well. At all. Hell, Sanson's even *sleeping* through his own impending death (leaving Hanson's enraged that the last sound he'll ever hear on this Earth is Sanson's snoring).

* CrazyAweosme: Sanson saving the Gang from the circling sharks.

* {{Filler}}: Still here? Yep, the Island Arc's continues...

* TrainingFromHell: From Nadia's second flashback, it seems this was how she was trained to use the trapeze: Her Rignmaster cracked a whip on the ground to frighten her. [[SarcasmMode Who would have thought someone ready to sell his charge to people he didn't even know would have abusively trained her]]?
* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: In Nadia's flashbasks, the ringmaster tells her, after her trapeze training, that he's doing it because he loves her.

* HateSink: If you didn't already dislike the Circus Ringmaster back in the Pilot, you'll hate him even more after this episode's flashbacks.

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Gargoyle throwsthe most venomous and spiteful funeral in honor of Nemo, calling for all Neo Atlantis to commemorate the day that they "destroyed" their foil.
* {{Flashback}}: While ill, Nadia has two of her childhood in circus: the first one is about her ringmaster euthanasing her pet elephant and the second one is about him threatening with a ship to train trapeze.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ironically, there ''is'' a major piece of foreshadowing during Gargoyle's appearance. With Nemo believed to be dead, the Neo-Atlanteans' new objective is to restore what they call the Holy Fortress.

* TrainingFromHell: From Nadia's flashback, it seems it was how she was trained to trapeze: her ringmaster was clacking a whip on the ground to frighten her. Who would have thought someone ready to sell his charge to people he didn't even knew would have abusively trained her?

* MushroomSamba: Jean does it about a decade before a bunch of [[Anime/CowboyBebop cowboys]].

* FirstKiss: Well, duh!

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Gargoyle throws [[spoiler:the most venomous and spiteful funeral in honor of Nemo, calling for all Neo Atlantis to commemorate the day that they "destroyed" their foil]].
