** Il-ho and his brothers were bullied for being a cabbit. It's not only not his fault for being born in the first place, but he cannot help that his father is a lion and his mother is a rabbit.

* AFriendInNeed: When Il-ho's gang, the protesters, and both Sam-ho and Pi all work together to move the excavator that fell on Yi-ho, Il-ho climbs under the massive construction equipment barely held off of the ground without hesitation. He wraps his arms around Yi-ho and acts as a living rope, and he and Yi-ho are pulled to safety.

* AscendedExtra: Pi was a background character introduced in Step 2 that has barely any presence beyond hitting on Il-ho. She makes sparing appearances in a couple others, but she is a major character with a lot of focus in Another Step.

* BadassMindsThinkAlike: After Pi takes down three members of Il-ho's gang, she shouts to Yi-ho. Yi-ho grabs her hand, spins her in a circle, and tosses her hard through the air. She sails down and kicks the large rabbit fighting Sam-ho, and Sam-ho grabs the rabbit's hammer mid fall and uses it to smash the prison bars off the cage (freeing the hostages).

** Yi-ho used to be a kinder and happier child who was viciously attacked by others at his school because he is a cabbit. This led him to become angry at the world.

* BrutalBrawl: The final fight between Il-ho's gang, and the combined might of Sam-ho, Yi-ho, and Pi. Everyone is just aiming to hit hard and quick. There are some flashy moves, but more than half the blows are people just throwing punches.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Despite being a three person gang against at least ten people, Il-ho's gang barely scratches any of their opponents. It doesn't help that Il-ho himself isn't participating (likely unable to bring himself to beat his friends and girlfriend).

* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Another Step'' focuses heavily on Il-ho, Yi-ho, and Pi.

** Il-ho was bullied for being a cabbit. It's not only not his fault for being born in the first place, but he cannot help that his father is a lion and his mother is a rabbit.

* FaceHeelTurn: Il-ho.

** Cabbits are treated as being neither cats nor rabbits. They are ostracized moreso than others. This is a major reason the Jjintta Set is the way they are since they are treated as if they don't belong.
* FeudEpisode: Played much more seriously than this trope usually is. the entire story is basically one huge fight between Yi-ho and Il-ho which starts when Yi-ho has a bad flashback to his traumatic childhood and tries to harshly kick Pi out of the apartment, resulting in Yi-ho and Il-ho fighting and ending when Il-ho is tossed through a window. Yi-ho tries to spend the next several days calming down while Il-ho becomes an extremist who inspires a gang to attack anyone who is against the cat/rabbit love movement started by Doki and Nabi. In the end, this results in a huge fight in a construction yard, and it only ends when Il-ho thinks Yi-ho has been crushed to death.

** Pi does this to Il-ho after he saves Yi-ho and the fighting stops.

* GoldfishPoopGang: Subverted. The Jjintta Set is only a comedic, not terribly credible threat in "Cake Dance" and become wary friends with Nabi. Not so much in Another Step where Il-ho and his new gang are a genuine threat.

* HeelFaceTurn: Il-ho.

** Yi-ho throwing Il-ho to safety from the falling excavator. He ends up crushed under it instead.

** the existence of the Jjintta Set is because of cats and rabbits who fell in love and had children. Yi-ho is the child of a lion and a rabbit who loved each other.

** Il-ho using the symbol of the Cat/Rabbit Supporters during his mission. It's an image of a smiling rabbit and cat, and it has hearts. Meanwhile he is having his gang viciously attack all protesters, and they're keeping them in a makeshift prison in a construction yard.

** Pi, Yi-ho, and Sam-ho walking up to Il-ho and his new gang, knowing they're going to have to fight through his gang to release the hostages.

* MightyRoar: Yi-ho before being crushed by the excavator. Thanks to being half lion, he releases an incredibly loud roar that gets everyone to stop fighting. The roar is complete with an aura of a lion head over him.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Il-ho is saved by Yi-ho, he sees his friend crushed by an excavator that fell when the building collapsed. He rushes towards it a couple times, tripping repeatedly before falling on all fours and mourning the death. Luckily for him, everyone works together to lift the excavator just enough, and Sam-ho signals to Il-ho, who wastes no time crawling under the machine and quickly moving his friend to safety.

** Il-ho shaves his ears to reveal they're more cabbit-like than rabbit-like, so that anyone who sees him will know who he is and where he stands as the leader of the gang.

* StartOfDarkness: Yi-ho throwing Il-ho through the window convinces Il-ho to fight against the system that lead someone like Yi-ho to his self-loathing and anger. He takes it ''really far''.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Il-ho's goal is to stop the rampant hatred of cat/rabbit love (and as a byproduct the hatred of cabbits), but his methods include attacking ''all'' protesters who stand against their goal, and then locking them up like prisoners and holding them captive.

* AscendedExtra: Pi was a background character introduced in Step 2 that has barely any presence beyond hitting on Yi-ho. She makes sparing appearances in a couple others, but she is a major character with a lot of focus in Another Step.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Step 6 will be focusing on the 3 bullies known as ''Jjintta-set''.

* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Another Step'' seems to focus on Il-ho this time around.

* GoldfishPoopGang: Subverted. The Jjintta Set is only a comedic, not terribly credible threat in "Cake Dance" and become wary friends with Nabi.

A [[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/there-she-is-6th-episode-another-step#/a crowdfunding campaign was launched]] in order to fund an additional 6th episode focusing on the Jjintta Set as well as a DVD compilation of all the episodes and extras with the goal being met and surpassed on February 11, 2016. On August 18, 2020, after less than half a decade in development, the bonus episode was finally released under the title ''Another Step''. It premiered on Website/{{Newgrounds}} for a 3 day limited run until the 21st.

* AnAesop:
** There's nothing wrong with interracial relationships, and love deserves to be respected and fought for. [[WordOfGod More specifically]], relationships between Japanese and Korean people.
** In addition, it's better to try to make the world you live in a better place than running away to somewhere else. Though in RealLife sometimes, the first option is nigh impossible or would take a lot of risks and time to come to fruition, depending on the setting.

The sheer emotional impact and cuteness of its art, plot, and message can not be adequately explained with words. Having taken five years to complete, ''There she is!!'' is still considered one of the best flash series on the internet and is a must-see.

'''The fourth episode''', "[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/456643 Paradise]]", has Doki and Nabi officially romantically involved. But the anti-cat and bunny romance prejudice is a major obstacle, and things stop being cute and funny and [[CerebusSyndrome quickly take a turn for the dark]] as they official become [[HatedByAll the absolute most hated people in their area]]. They are kicked out of a cafe because of their InterspeciesRomance. They are accosted and attacked in the street. Doki is injured in such an attack, which Nabi takes very hard. Nabi doesn't resist the leader of the Jjintta Set when he attacks due to having spied on Doki. Nabi still ends up in jail, separated from his phone. This leads to an unfortunate misunderstanding, when Doki calls him and gets no answer, as Nabi has begun distancing himself from Doki for what he believes is her own protection.

* HatedByAll: As of Step 4, Doki and Nabi are hated by literally '''EVERYONE'''. (save for their close affiliates) Nabi's house is heavily defaced and vandalized, Doki gets jumped by a mob, and they're both pretty much treated like mass murderers.

* HatedByAll: As of Step 4, Doki and Nabi are hated by pretty much EVERYONE except their close affiliates solely because of their interrelationship status. The hate graffiti and vandalism covering every inch of Nabi's house and Doki immediately being chased by an angry mob on sight further verifies this.

* HatedByAll: In Step 4, Doki and Nabi are hated by pretty much absolutely everyone in the community, save for their close affiliates like Gray Rabbit and Hana.

The hate graffiti and vandalism covering every inch of Nabi's house and Doki immediately being chased by an angry mob on sight further verifies this.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In Step 4, Doki and Nabi are hated by pretty much absolutely everyone in the community, save for their close affiliates like Gray Rabbit and Hana.

** This was changed for the HD remastered versions, where we see that [[spoiler:Doki's hedgie has recovered from his injuries at the beginning of step 5]].
*** [[spoiler: Incorrect, it's meant to be a metaphorical good-bye as she's seen dumping something right before. These are the hedgehog's ashes and there's no real other explanation. The HD remaster is clarifying that the hedgie died.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: The entire community reacts to Doki and Nabi's interrelationship with absolute unadulterated scorn as if they were mass criminals.

* DisproportionateRetribution: The entire community reacts to Doki and Nabi's interrelationship with mass unadulterated scorn as if they were mass criminals.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Doki and Nabi officially become the most hated people in their local area in Step 4.

* CharacterDevelopment: A surprising amount given the length of the videos and the lack of spoken dialogue: Nabi learns to ignore [[FantasticRacism what others think]] as he grows to love Doki.

* InterspeciesRomance: Doki and Nabi. She's a bunny. He's a cat. They are in love and [[TheyFightCrime they fight prejudice!]]

* ThePowerOfLove: Not only do they unintentionally spark a race war, Nabi and Doki solve it with their love. Quoting a review on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki, "it's not [[ThePowerOfLove love]] saving the day as some vague all-powerful force - it's characters acting *out* of love and choosing to face obstacles because of it."

** The bikes that the Jjintta Set are riding in Step 5 are clear references to ''Akira'', the one with the eyepatch's bike looks just like Tetsuo's bike, and he even does the same sliding crash that Tetsuo did, though much more intentionally.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] It's not just social mores that scare Nabi away from reciprocating to Doki - it's because Doki's just a ''bit'' too forward with her affections for him. The entire first episode is about him trying to avoid her habit of smothering him in demonstration of her feelings. She does everything from [[spoiler:presenting him with a cake [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace while he's using a toilet]]]] to [[spoiler:cutting down a giant tree he climbs to get away from her]].
