* MagicMusic: When Ranka sings, it somehow disrupts the Vajra's HiveMind, making them easy targets (and forcing Ranka to be a fixture of military operations). [[spoiler:It's because her V-Type infection allows her to communicate her feelings to the Vajra, and her feelings are generally about preventing her friends from dying. Late in the series, her inner turmoil causes the Vajra to grow more aggressive when she sings.]]

* BeePeople: The Vajra fit this very well. However, while they do have a queen, it oversees the operation of their collective consciousness shared by each, as opposed to controlling them like mindless drones. [[spoiler:When Grace hijacks the Queen at the climax of the story, she opts for the "control like mindless drones" option]].

* AdaptiveAbility: The Vajra communicate information about new threats to each other and generate defensive adaptations, meaning they become immune to any weapon used against them frequently enough.

* MemeticHandGesture:
** The "Kira~" gesture, coupled with memetic mutation.
** The Nyan Nyan dance goes along with the Nyan Nyan song.
** Sheryl's pose in the Diamond Crevasse single cover is something of a lesser meme, with an AffectionateParody on a ''Manga/LuckyStar'' album. Also popular with Sheryl cosplay.
