* SeenItAll: When the Cooper Gang explain to Salim the situation - that they and Decibel were time-travelers - he seemed to comprehend it rather quickly.

* IAmNotWeasel: Despite all of them being rats, Salim's old gang members all go by The Tiger, The Lion and The Panther. Strange, considering there are anthropomorphic lions and tigers populating this world.
* SeenItAll: When the Cooper Gang explain to Salim the situation - that they and Decibel were time-travelers - he seemed to comprehend it rather quickly. We later find out that he has acquired his time-altering suit from a genie, so it is likely that he either has had his own time-traveling adventure in his youth or he simply has encountered enough of the supernatural to simple shrug off any weirdness he comes across.
* ShoutOut: Sly tries saying "open sesame" when he finds a locked door. Salim doesn't get the reference.
* TimeTravelForFunAndProfit: The reason why Le Paradox and Miss Decibel are there is so that they could create forgeries of official documents (using Salim's hypnotized gang as workers) to make it seem like Le Paradox is of royal lineage.
* TrackingDevice: Having met three of Sly's previous ancestors, Bentley was able to whip-up a device that allowed Sly to find Salim using their shared DNA. Sly remarks that it's "some real science fiction."
