Graceful Loser: Ogam is shown as a boisterous, sneering Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy for most of his race with Manzo, but when the two come to a tie, Ogam acknowledges he has a worthy opponent and spares the boy's town from alien gentrification.

Bilingual Bonus: "Mukudzei" involves an alternate timeline in which Great Zimbabwe never collapsed. The city is named Muchadenga, which means "universe" in Shona.

Wacky Racing: A sci-fi version is the premise of "Mkhuzi: The Spirit Racer". Manzo's mother was the famed racer Mkhuzi in her youth, but when the alien overlord Ogam challenges his community to an interplanetary race, Manzo must step up to save his hometown and compete against Ogam and other powerful alien pilots. At one point, both their cars become mechs to fight each other.

Social Media Before Reason: In "Mukudzei", the protagonist prioritizes filming himself in the alternate timeline in which he landed, to the point that he causes the vehicle that is supposed to help him back to his own timeline to crash.

 Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire / int_98c4ea5f
comment
Falling Chandelier of Doom: A variant in "Stardust" - the massive orrery hanging from the Oracle's ceiling is far too elaborate not to become an action set-piece. Nawara and the bandits fight themselves back into another tense standoff, but by that point they've knocked one of the arms loose, and it's obvious its pendulous swinging will hit someone eventually. It sends the thieves flying out the window.

Half-Human Hybrid: Manzo, the protagonist of "Mkhuzi: the Spirit Racer", is a human-alien hybrid. He can partially shapeshift, which provides a boost in facing the dreaded racer Ogun.

Rage Within the Machine: At the start of "You Give Me Heart", Sundiata is attempting to impress Maadi, Goddess of Plenty, enough that she'll sponsor him as the new God of Creativity. But by the end, they're both so disillusioned with divinity that they want to destroy the social media network Maadi's pantheon depends on.

Sequencing Deception: In "Hatima", it first looks like that the plot is going back and forth between a battle in the Fish People underwater settlement and a young human woman on the surface who is studying the Hatima right as the battle is happening. It then turns out that the human segment is actually depicting the forgotten origin story of the Fish People, who were all ill or disabled people who considered transforming into one to be a reasonable price to pay to be cured, only to find out that the other humans didn't agree.
