* MistakenForRacist: Not!Sombra thinks ponies from planet Earth are just dumb beasts. Shining and the Princesses think he is a racist toward earth ponies, on top of already being an evil dictator.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The story focuses on the problems that a civilization that has been dormant for a millenia would face, namely outdated agriculture, insufficient infrastructure, industries that are not in demand in present times, and a group of advisers who in spite of the best intentions have no understanding of modern ideals and are thus useless. Also many crystal ponies immigrate to see the new world or seek new economic opportunities. The Crystal Empire is largely dependent on foreign aid, the workload of modernizing it puts an enormous strain on Cadence, which is not helped by the appearance of what looks like King Sombra.

King Sombra’s dark influence was obliterated by the Crystal Heart, and the villain is well and truly dead. But when he attempts to steal the afterlife of an innocent victim, a human spirit is left hurtling towards Equestria, where this unfortunate soul is revived into the only vessel available: the reconstituted body of King Sombra himself.

* MoodDissonance: The first chapter from Cadence's and Shining Armor's perspective makes them seem like heroic defenders of their country from an evil tyrant. They don't realize they are fighting a confused man who was reborn in the wrong body, who wonders why every creature is afraid of him and this white stallion wants to kill him. PlayedForLaughs.

* UnskilledButStrong: Not!Sombra has the raw power of King Sombra but lacks experience in using it properly. This causes a problem when he tries to erase the wall of crystal he created, thinking it is what is scaring the crystal ponies, only to blow it up and rain large crystals on the city.

* CassandraTruth: Cadence doesn't believe Not!Sombra when he claims to be a human being, which to her is one very developed fantasy. She doesn't even believe the lie detecting stone which confirms this.
