* {{Hypocrite}}: In the classic series, Camus says to Hyoga that emotions and feelings are an obstacle. Here, all the his actions are drived by feelings.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In the classic series, Camus says to Hyoga that emotions and feelings are an obstacle. Here, all the his actions are drived by feelings and he sides with the God Warriors because of a promise he made to Surt after accidentally killing his little sister in an avalanche.

* AmplifierArtifact:[[spoiler: The God Warriors get new, red Odin Sapphires that increase their cosmos to even the battlefield after they lose their HomeFieldAdvantage and the Golds get a better handle of the God Cloths ]].
** CastFromHitpoints:[[spoiler: Said Sapphires amplify the users´ Cosmos but slowly drain their soul]].

* OutOfCharacter: Deathmask is less evil and more goofy compared to normal. Justified in universe in that he just got a temporary new life with no strings attached, he knows it is not going to last, and he might as well enjoy some harmless fun while he's at it.

** CastFromHitpoints:[[spoiler: Said Crystals amplify the users´ Cosmos but slowly drain their soul]].

** Aldebaran and [[spoiler: Heracles]] both being their teams´ resident Big Guy but one being calm, serene and kind while the other is aggresive and is willing to hurt innocent people.

* OffModel: The series seems to have around 3 animation teams; "Team A", as the fans are calling them, which makes the battle scenes and gives the armors beautiful lighting, "Team B" which makes stills and, while ther is no lighting, it still looks decent, and "Team Z" which seems unable to understand human anatomy and the fact that armors have more than one color.
** There are also isolated incidents such as Aioria's now infamous "Giraffe Neck" and Frodi's little ballet steps.
* OutOfCharacter: Deathmask is less evil and more goofy compared to normal.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: A very unusual In-Universe example;The Gold Saints have long been established to be the most powerful non-god members of any army, being stronger than Poseidon's Generals and the other God Warriors, and being matched only by Hades' Judges, and even they get curb-stomped by the Golds stronger members. And, in a series where the Golds get God Cloths, the only ones who could possibly be a threat to them, power-wise, would be GODS. Hence, the series is constantly changing the power balance to give it a genuine sense of tension, first [[spoiler: giving the God Warriors a HomeFieldAdvantage that both makes them stronger AND drains the Golds' Cosmos, making the God Cloth a necesity for victory]], and, when that is taken care of, [[spoiler: giving the God Warriors an AmplifierArtifact]].

* EvilCounterpart: Some of the new god warriors seem to function as this, having similar but opposite qualities as the Gold saints. Appropiately enough, they tend to battle each other so far. Example include:

** Mu and [[spoiler: Fafner]]; both being their teams smart guys, but one is cautious, wise, and uses his intellect to analyze a situation and for the greater good, while the other one takes sadistic pleasure in experimenting with innocent people and mercilessly tortures his opponents.
