Alpha Bitch: Amaten, Tengen-Sensei's daughter is this to Onari, but it's revealed in Episode 2 that she acts like this out of jealously for whoever her father is focusing on, rather than Onari specifically.

Concert Climax: In a weird sort of way. The only way to beat Naridons' fear is by them and the rest of the Kami doing the dance Onari and Naridon perform when they are playing.

Wham Shot: The end of the second episode has Onari cross the bridge into the forest and following the Oni's light beams...and then we see an electrical grid tower, and then a modern-day Japanese village. Up until this point, there wasn't any indication it was set in the modern day, and this completely flips the script.

Fantastic Racism: When the horns fall off of Onari, the whole village of Kami turn on her, despite some of them being friends with her and outright knowing she isn't like the other humans.

Genius Ditz: Naridon is an odd duck, to say the least. He speaks in vague vocalisations that only Putaro seems to understand coherently, his work during the day involves playing in the forest (in actuality he's healing the forest from the destruction of the Oni), and that he tends to act very irrationally, often putting his care of Onari over anyone else.

Human All Along: It's revealed in Episode 3 that Onari is human, rather than a Kami, as their horns fall off when Putaro and them fight, something which Naridon tries to keep a secret as he took her in when her parents were killed in a car accident caused by thunderstorms Naridon and Putaro were creating, and was asked by her original parents to take care of her.

Fish out of Water: A good chunk of Episode 3 is spent by Kappa and Onari going round the human village and trying to find a doll Onari saw a baby carrying to determine if it was the same. At one point, they get stuck in a photo booth, as well as a Japanese arcade. It's only until they meet Calvin that things become clearer for them.

No Antagonist: While the series features the reveal that Humans are why the kami are going extinct, they are surprisingly absent for much of the series' conflict. Putaro actively shoos Onari out of the village and wants to kill the Oni before they kill them.
