* AnimalJingoism: A group of Diamond Dogs immediately show hostility toward Capper, simply because he's a cat.

** "The Great and Powerful Twily" initially refers to Trixie as "princess". During the "Reflections" story arc, it was shown via a stained glass window that Trixie had become an alicorn in the mirror world. "The Great and Powerful Twily" is either from that world, or one with a similar event.
* DefiantCaptive: After being captured, Tempest doesn't tell Eris anything, and mocks her several times.
* DemotedToDragon: Daybreaker now acts as a security guard at Eris's casino.
* HeroicSacrifice: Tempest picks a fight with Daybreaker in order to allow the others time to go further into the casino.
* MindRape: When Tempest refuses to answer Eris's questions, Eris forces her to relive the day she lost her horn, with Tempest's childhood friends replaced by her current teammates, and Eris in place of the Ursa Minor.
* SkewedPriorities: Trixie. She gets distracted by a game offering powerful magical artefacts, fumes over not being asked to perform in the casino, and challenges an alternate version of Twilight to prove who is the greatest unicorn magician.
* NoYou: Invoked during the argument between Trixie and "The Great and Powerful Twily".
-->'''Trixie:''' Nobody is as skilled as the Great and Powerful Trixie!\\
'''Twily:''' Hey! Stop stealing my thing! I'm the Great and Powerful Twily!\\
'''Trixie:''' That sounds ridiculous!\\
