* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Chromium is treated as so rare, Starfire's allergy to it only reacts to a solid sphere, even if that sphere is hundreds of feet away and in a sealed container. In real life, chromium is found in stainless steel and chrome plating; if Starfire allergy is that sensitive, she should be sneezing constantly.



* PlotAllergy: Starfire's ''Chromium'' allergy is only introduced so that the team is able to find the Chronoton Detonator, is used rather inconsistently throughout the episode, and is never mentioned again after this. Justified in that no other villain would be stupid enough to make a real bomb with the metallic ''chromium''.

* BatmanGambit: The Chronoton bomb was a dud, and was there for the right moment that the Titans had nanobots shot into them, so that Slade could have leverage over Robin.

to:

* BatmanGambit: The Chronoton bomb was a dud, and was there for the right moment that the Titans had nanobots shot into them, so that Slade could have leverage over Robin. In addition, Cinderblock attacked Robin so as to get defeated, and lure Robin to Slade's lair.
* BlackMail: How do you get an HonorBeforeReason BadassNormal to serve at your side, as your evil apprentice? Threaten to kill his friends from the inside out.
* BondVillainStupidity: Subverted. At first it seems that Slade is being a typical supervillain, announcing to the heroes that he has a bomb that will stop time forever in Jump City, and giving them enough time to find it. As Robin finds out, however, the bomb's real purpose was to inject deadly nanobots into the Titans, allowing Slade to blackmail Robin.
* CallBack:
** The team cites Robin's previous undercover jaunt as a reason for wanting him to sit out the raid. He insists that it was a mistake.
** Starfire's BrutalHonesty in pointing out that Robin and Slade are NotSoDifferent haunts Robin, even in his nightmares.



* TheChessmaster: Slade is this in spades. How do you get Robin separated from the Titans, ensuring he doesn't get infected by the bots as well? Send a hypercompetent villain to attack Robin personally, forcing the latter to send the other Titans to disarm the bomb.



* ForcedIntoEvil: Robin.

* EvilLaugh: Slade does one after he knocks Robin down the first time, very low and muted.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Robin.Robin, to save the Titans.
* ForcedToWatch: Slade promises that if he triggers the nanobots, he'll make Robin watch.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Robin's about to brutally interrogate a random dockworker Batman-style about the bomb; Raven stops him, and Beast Boy points out that Robin doesn't need to act like Slade. Robin's not amused with the comparison.
