* GodzillaThreshold: Ash is forced to unleash his full power when Yaldabaoth brings [[spoiler:Pontiff Sulyvahn]] back as a Reaper in Mementos complete with his own Palace.It causes the Darksign(Dark Soul 3 world's sun) to appear in the real world.

* BroughtDownToBadass:When Ash is brought to the Persona 5 world he is comes without the Firelink Greatsword. Without it he is incapable of using true Estus and is barred from using the miracles and armor he has collected. Also his journey has caused his heart to be so damaged that he cannot unlock a Persona.However he is still able to use pyromancy and healing and can create pseudo Estus from oven flames. His body is also very durable and is able to take massive amounts of punishment and has a healing factor. He is also extremely strong and skilled beyond his teammates and has been able to defeat many Palace rulers and bosses and enemies.

* CentralTheme: WordOfGod has stated that the central theme of this fic is Healing.This is shown by Shiho who after almost being raped begins to see a therapist to help cope with here trauma as well as Ash whose heart is healed (even though he does not realise it) by his interactions with the Phantom Thieves and Confidants.

* CombatPragmatist: Ash is a Dark Souls player character, a series of games where backstabbing an enemy is one the effective ways to survive,which translates to him using every oppurtunity an enemy gives him including kicking a dangling enemy off a ledge.
* EarthThatWas:According to WordOfGod the world of Dark Souls that Ash comes from no longer exists.

* RoaringRampageOfRescue: One of the many diversions from canon caused by Ash's {{OutsideContextMagic}}, he manages to rescue Shiho Suzui from Suguru Kamoshida and prevent her attempted suicide, but his actions also terrify her in the same way he terrifies Kamoshida, forcing the thieves to clean up the cognitive mess by venturing into her palace.
* StrongerThanTheyLook:A result of the Ashen One inhabiting Ren's body. The body becomes stronger the longer that Ash inhabits it. In the beginning he was able to survive getting hit by a truck and later he is able to heal his wounds.{{Word of God}} also states that the body has grown more muscular. Also as the Ashen One is the Lord of Hollows and comes from the world of Dark Souls he has many abilities including pyromancy, miracles and sorceries. He also has his fighting skills and The Firelink Sword.

* WillfullyWeak: Ash is told, in response to the Darksign appearing in Kamoshida's Castle, that as an outsider God to the world of Persona 5 he can enforce his rule upon the world .If he fully enforces this by using his full power then his original world's(Dark Souls 3 Darksign) sun will appear in the real world and thus the real world will become like Dark Souls' world.As a result when he gains his power back in Madarame's castle he is careful in unleashing his true power and only uses it under emergencies.
