** In "Best Fronds" Anne had to learn not to force someone into doing things that they don't feel comfortable with, only to have to relearn this message again in other episodes such as "Girl Time", "Dating Season", and "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers." Subverted, as the moral does seem to stick as time went on.

*** Marcy's issues are more subtle, but present: She is so absorbed in her own interests that she completely ignores her friends' needs and wants. Marcy constantly assumes Sasha and Anne are as invested in her games and hobbies as she is, to the point of ignoring their clear disinterest. [[spoiler:Her trapping them in Amphibia is the most extreme result of this, as she thought they would be as happy to be TrappedInAnotherWorld as she was. They are not, which she would have known if she wasn't so self-absorbed]].

* TheIrredeemableException: ''Amphibia'' has most of its villains see redemption in the end. [[spoiler:[[DiskOneFinalBoss Sasha and Grime]] both end up seeing the errors of their ways and become genuinely admirable leaders to Amphibia, and most of the humans that antagonized Anne and the Plantars while on Earth end up helping them when the planet is invaded. Even [[TheDragon Andrias]] learns to step out of his father's shadow, and that he does not need to be evil like him. The Core, meanwhile, never learns. It completely refuses to acknowledge change, and still believes that world must always be the same, no matter how much everyone argues against it.]]

** Season 3b had several past villains that only made a single appearance in the previous seasons appear again and become ally's of the heroes. But while [[spoiler: Apothecary Gary, Lysil and Angwin, Tritonio, and Domino 2 have redeemed themselves, Barry is the only one who remains selfish and evil to the end as he became the leader of the Marauders and often causes trouble for the Resistance. Even though they don't work for Andrias, they're still willing to capture resistance members and sell them to Andrias for money. He is never seen or heard from again after Maddie turns him into a chicken again, and his fellow marauders close in on him with the intent to eat him. Making his current fate unclear.

* PainfulConfession:
** When Hop Pop is given the music box to send to his "contacts", he secretly buries it instead to protect his grandchildren. "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E24AfterTheRain After the Rain]]" sees his ruse uncovered when he discovers that the Calamity Box is gone...and Anne is standing right behind him. She takes it very hard and wants to leave the Plantars as soon as she gets the box back. Hop Pop stops her by telling her the reason why he did it, which includes recalling the day Sprig and Polly's parents died while he was away. The account is very heartbreaking for Hop Pop to bring up and he's in tears as he collapses onto the ground, profusely apologizing to Anne for hurting her.
** "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E25TheFirstTemple The First Temple]]" takes place after the emotional revelations of the episode above. Anne and Hop Pop try to act like everything is hunky-dory, but Anne still feels like she forgave Hop Pop way too fast. When Hop Pop asks what it will take for her to put this hurt in the past, Anne shouts, "I DON'T KNOW!". She continues to say that she wants things to go back to normal, but Hop Pop interjects with the wisdom that she still needs time to process her emotions.
** In "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E36TrueColors True Colors]]", King Andrias betrays Marcy's secret and suggests that Marcy got her and her friends stuck in Amphibia ''on purpose''. Marcy then reveals to Anne and Sasha the whole story: on Anne's birthday, Marcy was told that her father's new job would require her family to move out of California. Terrified at the thought of leaving her friends behind, she ran away and discovered the teleporting music box that she had read about earlier. While she intitally didn't know if it would work, she expresses her gratitude that it did and tearfully justifies her actions as an opportunity to bond with the girls through "amazing adventures". She further tries to justify her actions by telling Anne that her time in Amphibia gave the latter many wonderful memories and friends. However, Anne and Sasha are too shocked and betrayed to be okay with this.
