* {{Irony}}: Not once but ''twice'', San Galgano's ambitions are thwarted by holders of the same card. [[spoiler: Finn's card was originally wielded by one of the weakest knights, but he was the first one to stand up to him when he attempted a coup. This inspired the other knights to rise up and save their king. Centuries later, San Galgano's new host would be Finn's older brother, and the love they share gives Finn the opening he needed to stop San Galgano by shooting TILT.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Love-P. Both of them are the SuperpoweredEvilSide of the highest and lowest Spade cards, but one is a NoNonsenseNemesis MightyGlacier with a {{BFS}}, and the other is a BloodKnight GlassCannon with a katana.



* ImmuneToBullets: And also missiles, apparently. The palace guards did not stand a chance.
* LegacyCharacter: Lala implies that the King of Spades has taken over players in a similar manner to TILT before.
* LogicalWeakness: It's shown the King of Spades is absorbed into TILT's body before activating, instead of becoming gloves like the other X-Playing Cards. Finn and Chris' plan to defeat it in the Season 2 finale is just to yank the thing out.



* TheSpeechless: Has so far said nothing across any of its appearances, only producing an inhuman shriek of anger when cornered by Tilt and Burst. The closest it comes to speaking is by possessing Tilt's mind and demanding him to get the cards for devouring,

* {{Yandere}}: While his love for [[spoiler: Finn was definitely platonic and brotherly in their youth]], the influence of the Klondikes, the years he's spent doing their dirty work, and the influence of San Galgano has chipped away at his sanity. He's since picked up many classic Yandere traits in his pursuit of his [[spoiler: younger brother]], including but not limited to: stalking [[spoiler: via shapeshifting]], kidnapping, getting violently jealous of his friends, and [[spoiler: building a replica of their house save for a lack of doors and windows in an unmarked warehouse for the express purpose of the two of them living there by themselves forever.]]
