* AnnoyingArrows: Queen Medb summons a soldier who pumps Mephistopheles full of arrows so they can grab and interrogate him. Once Ibraki rescues him, he easily pulls the arrows out and his HealingFactor fixes the damage.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: The Number 2: Teitoku Kakine]] is back, and not Beetle 6. To boot, as a Servant as well.

* DoNotGoGentle: [[spoiler: Even though his Spirit Origin had been destroyed by Kakine, Karna manages to remain manifested long enough to fire Vasavi Shakti at the Number 2 Esper, who had been worn down a bit earlier fighting his way out of EMIYA's reality marble.]]

* SacredHospitality: Queen Medb believes in this. She is a polite guest to Touma's apartment and is offended when she learns Index takes advantage of his hospitality without contributing anything in return.

* VictoryByEndurance: [[spoiler:Kakine]] is finally defeated and killed when his reckless use of his powers makes him run out of mana, making him vulnerable.

* AnachronismStew: When Saten and Uiharu meet Charles Babbage, Uiharu questions both how he's alive but also why he looks the way he is. Babbage admits to not knowing how he ended up looking like this since he certaintly never looked like that in life, and just states he ended up like that.

* WreckedWeapon: Shuten Douji decides to test Imagine Breaker by swinging her sword at Touma. He blocks it with his right hand and the blade shatters on contact. Shuten finds she cannot will the blade to repair itself.

* PoorCommunicationKills: When Archer EMIYA and Cu Chulainn volunteered to be summoned, Dr. Roman and Da Vinci evidently didn't tell them the party had allied with Queen Medb, as Cu is completely surprised when he sees her and briefly antagonizes her. The author later commented that it simply slipped their minds to tell them.

* ICantSenseTheirPresence: Presumably because of Imagine Breaker, Touma's life force doesn't show up on Chaldea's instruments. Dr. Roman on MissionControl thinks that Ritsuka and Mash are talking to themselves until he is able to get visual.

** Queen Medb and Lessar quickly become friends because they are both perverts.

* DuelingHackers: Uiharu fights over the control of an unmanned Academy City PowerArmor against another hacker. It escalates when the opposing hacker threatens to post {{panty shot}}s of her online.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Mash decides to drive the party to where Shuten Douji is, but she keeps flooring it, hitting things, and driving on the sidewalk. She is oblivious to everyone screaming at her to slow down and get off the sidewalk. By the time they arrive, all four tires have popped and the car is wrecked. Unfortunately, Romani points out just because she has the Riding Skill, doesn't mean she knows how to drive ''safely''.

** Wile not as much as Mephistopheles, Shuten shows this as she herself admits to knowing of the clown's trickery with Ibaraki and wanted it to happen all so it can attract Kintoki to her. Where once he's dead, she can 'warmingly' make her forget all about him. Though she admits Mephistolpheles had gotten a bit more advantageous than she thought, and just wants him dead for messing with her.

* SpottingTheThread: Queen Medb notices something screwy is going on in Academy City because anybody competent would have seen the value in Touma's Imagine Breaker and given him a high Level, not dismiss him as a mere Level 0.

* AnachronismStew: When Saten and Uiharu meet Babbage, Uiharu questions both how he's alive but also why he looks the way he is. Babbage admits to not knowing how he ended up looking like this since he certaintly never looked like that in life, and just states he ended up like that.

** When [[spoiler: Kakine]] decide to prepare in killing Touma, [[spoiler: Accelerator]] comes in.

* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence. This is [[spoiler: Kakine]] greatest flaw. As while he is indeed powerful and capable of taking on Chaldea and their current Servants, his negligence of them and underestimation allows both Touma and Cu Lancer to harm him a lot, sending him into a VillainousBreakdown.

* WhoDares: When Touma punches Queen Medb in the face, she yells, "How dare you lay a hand on me!"

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Shiage Hamazura has his own adventure in the city with his own group of Servants, which includes Robin Hood and Hector, during the crisis in Academy City.

** When the Chaldea crew are impressed by Touma's accomplishments, he insists he isn't anything special.

* TheForceIsStrongInThisOne: Magic users like Levinia Birdway and Lessar can sense the massive amount of mana in Servants.

* BecauseItAmusedMe: Shuten was already willing to help the heroes with stopping Mephistophele. But once she saw Kintoki with them, due to her nature as an Oni and her own personality, decided to mess with them and have them destroy the fight club. Her way of teasing him.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Mash decides to drive the party to where Shuten Douji is, but she keeps flooring it, hitting things, and driving on the sidewalk. She is oblivious to everyone screaming at her to slow down and get off the sidewalk. By the time they arrive, all four tires have popped and the car is wrecked. Unfortunately Romani points out just because she has the Driving Skill, doesn't mean she knows how to drive ''safely''.

* ManipulativeBastard: While he's not the strongest Servant, Mephistopheles has a good silver tongue and convinces Ibaraki to join him for his 'fireworks', getting her power to aid him and even Shuten since she goes where Ibaraki goes. Tamamo saying that thanks to him, not even Shuten can boss Ibaraki anymore and the only way to get both out of the group attacking Academy City is to defeat him.
** Wile not as much as Mephistopheles, Shuten shows this as she herself admits to knowing of the clown's trickery with Ibaraki and wanted it to happen all so it can attract [[BecauseItAmusedMe bring Kintoki]] to her. Where once he's dead, she can 'warmingly' make her forget all about him. Though she admits Mephistolpheles had gotten a bit more advantageous than she thought, and just wants him dead for messing with her.

* OneHitKill: Since Queen Medb's soldiers are magical constructs, one punch from Touma's Imagine Breaker is able to destroy them. Imagine Breaker can also destroy Darius III' skeleton minions and the monsters with one punch. However, since Servants are constantly fed mana by either their Masters or the Holy Grail, Imagine Breaker doesn't destroy them, but it is able to hurt them.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The party asks Kintoki to help them talk down Shuten Douji. As soon as he hears that it involves her, he drops his boisterous attitude and agrees to help.

* SpottingTheThread: Queen Medb notices something screwy is going on in Academy City because anybody competent would have seen the value in Touma's Imagine Breaker and given him a high Level, not dismiss him as a Level 0.

* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Not all the Servants summoned in Academy City aid in it's defense. Saint Martha herself comments on Beowulf for not helping and instead uses his superiority as a Heroic Spirit to beat up regular people just on the chance to face a strong esper. He himself states unless someone is stronger than him, he won't do it. He's last seen being dragged off by her.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Mash decides to drive the party to where Shuten Douji is, but she keeps flooring it, hitting things, and driving on the sidewalk. She is oblivious to everyone screaming at her to slow down and get off the sidewalk. By the time they arrive, all four tires have popped and the car is wrecked. Unfortunatly Romani points out just because she has the Driving Skill, doesn't mean she knows how to drive ''safely''.

* OOCIsSeriousBuisness: While Cu admits to not knowing [[spoiler: Medb]] all that well since he died, he finds her current attitude and actions with Touma to be off and unlike her. He then shrugs it off believing it's not his buisness.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Mash decides to drive the party to where Shuten Douji is, but she keeps flooring it, hitting things, and driving on the sidewalk. She is oblivious to everyone screaming at her to slow down and get off the sidewalk. By the time they arrive, all four tires have popped and the car is wrecked.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite her actions towards Kintoki, Tamamo says that Shuten's interest in more than she would admit to teasing him, to wanting to mate, to even getting his bones. Tamamo stating if Kintoki is with them, then Shuten will listen.

** Much to Mash's surprise, this is averted with Queen Medb. She says she is not jealous of the girls near Touma because she is completely confident she will win in the end.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Touma is reluctant to try to fight Ibaraki because he can see she is extremely strong, fast, and skilled, and he has a poor track record of fighting opponents with those qualities.

* ForTheEvulz: Mephistopheles is this, killing people just for fun with Chaldea even mentioning he'll help people if only to slowly see them snap and enter despair. Though he becomes angry when he meets someone like Index who doesn't rise to his taunts and considers her beneath dirt.

* OneHitKill: Since Queen Medb's soldiers are magical constructs, one punch from Touma's Imagine Breaker is able to destroy them. Imagine Breaker can also destroy Darius III' skeleton minions with one punch. However, since Servants are constantly fed mana by either their Masters or the Holy Grail, Imagine Breaker doesn't destroy them, but it is able to hurt them.

* YouRemindMeOfX: Touma says Queen Medb's overly flirtatious attitude reminds him of Lessar.

* EvilDuo: Both Mephistopheles and Ibaraki are working together to cause mayhem, the latter with Caster to see his 'fireworks'. Both also mention of working with an even bigger group that are against Academy City.

* HonorBeforeReason: When Touma and Chaldea go to a cafe and meet Tamamo, she states she know the Demon Terrorist Core, but won't tell them as Shuten is part of it. While she doesn't mind them fighting her, Tamamo doesn't want to to betray her trust. Luckily, the gang compromise and promise to help out.

* KilledOffForReal: Considering one has to be dead to enter the Throne of Heroes, it seems unless [[spoiler: Kakine]] has different circumstances, then he really has died off.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The party asks Kintoki to help them talk down Shuten Douji. As soon as he hears that it involves her, he drops his boisterous attitude and agrees to help.

* ReverseHarem: What Medb wants. Staring with Touma, Cu, and Ritsuka as well if he fully catches her eye.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite her actions towards Kintoki, Tamamo says that Shuten's interest in more than she would admit to teasing him, to wanting to mate, to even getting his bones. Tamamo stating if Kintoki is with them, then Shuten will listen.
