** Igor and Lavenza explain to a baffled Joker that a Persona can be extremely different from a Servant in spite of being based upon one historical figure because a Persona reflects what people ''believe'' is the truth, when a Servant is closer to the reality of the historical figure.
** Archer's Unlimited Blade Works is actually his Palace, leading Joker to posit Servants with an inhuman mindset or Reality Marbles also have one.
** When Ren confesses the Cognitive World's existence, Da Vinci and Roman call it yet another "layer" to the World, akin to the Reverse Side in which every single mythic creature dwells.
** Ren ponders the possibility of the Velvet Room being part of Alaya, mankind's collective will.
* ChickMagnet: By virtue of being Chaldea's last Master (prior to Ritsuka's introduction) and a Persona protagonist, Ren's gotten himself some attention from the opposite sex. Mash gets jealous whenever Ren's getting chummy with another girl, Ritsuka's pretty fond of heavily teasing him and Marie flat-out kissed him on the lips when she was summoned to Chaldea. One of the tags on Archive of Our Own even lampshades this, as it says, "Ren being a charmer. Again".

With mankind's destruction, they're completely cut off their power source and Igor grimly admits they will likely disappear if Ren cannot restore the world as it initially was.

As such, he quickly intuits that mankind's extermination isn't Ren's first rodeo in this arena -- the teenager is far too calm about it, and ''tired''. It also lets him pick up on that Ren's rodeo was ''much'' different, since Ren still reacts to some things -- like killing people -- in ways that comes off as paradoxically very inexperienced.

* ExperiencedProtagonist: {{Downplayed}}. Ren is rather fresh from his adventures and thus isn't green about fighting or morally-dubious choices. However, ''killing'' people and throwing himself into life-threatening situations where one wrong move will end up with his death are things his adventures haven't prepped him for. This leads to the experienced Servants like EMIYA and Cu Chulainn to note how paradoxical some of Ren's reactions are.



* RedemptionEarnsLife: While initially it looks like Jeanne Alter's Change of Heart would result in a HeelFaceDoorSlam when Gilles decides to have her eaten by his monsters with the intent of recreating her, followed up by her inadvertedly summoning the Demon Pillar Orobas from her Holy Grail and body which then ends up being destroyed, in the end she ends up returning as an incarnated Lancer Servant using that Grail as her base [[spoiler:due to whim of the Goetia collective.]]

* FuryFueledFoolishness: After Jeanne asks Ren for answers [[WhatTheHellAreYou about his abilities]], the stress of the entire situation caused the Phantom Thief to go into a sort of rage that Morgana noted had [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness never been seen from him before]]. Ren lashed out at ''everyone'' in the area as well as the technicians watching from Chaldea, accusing them of hypocrisy, prying into his business, and even ''planning on killing him while he was without allies,'' apparently [[PsychologicalProjection projecting]] several of his old antagonists onto them. This culminated in Ren summoning [[InfinityPlusOneSword two of his most powerful Personas]] out in a ''fit of pique,'' and attempting to summon ''Lucifer'' before Morgana interfered. The narration outright states that bringing out Lucifer would quite possibly have ''killed'' Ren, and as it was he was left in a state of HeroicRROD ''in the middle of a Singularity.''



* NotHelpingYourCase: After Ren summons ''Satan'' as a Persona to shake up Jeanne Alter and make a getaway, Jeanne, as a devout saint, naturally feels the need to ask WhatAreYou Ren is insulted by the sudden scrutiny, and is reminded of [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer the treatment he got]] at the hands of [[BitchInSheepsClothing "respectable figures"]] back home... so he decides to call out Archangel and Metatron simply to mock the heroes for "instantly condemning him," and is in the process of summoning ''Lucifer'' out of a sense of ThenLetMeBeEvil when Mona stops him. Reflecting on this moment later on, Ren acknowledges that bringing out a being that ''[[MadeOfEvil radiates pure evil and malevolence]]'' in front of new allies he was trying to get to trust him [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime was just absolutely stupid.]]

Ultimately, the group still decides to go ahead with the Change of Heart, both because [[AllLovingHero the real Jeanne]] wants to offer her doppelganger the chance to atone if possible, and because Mental Shutdowns remain a TraumaButton for Ren and Morgana.

SparedByTheAdaptation: Olga Marie still is killed in the initial attack against Chaldea, but Ren manages to save the remnants of her soul by asking her to enter in a contract with him, allowing the Velvet Room to swoop in and turn her in a new attendant.
* StepfordSmiler
StepfordSmiler: Joker is nothing but cocky and confident around Servants and Chaldea's staff. When he has a moment to himself, however, Ren is prone to breaking down and weeping out of the sheer pressure to save mankind without his trusted friends besides him.
* TheyWouldCutYouUpSupremeChef: Ren makes a mean curry and coffee combo. Roman hesitates to investigate him in spite of his many weird quirks because he doesn't want to lose his caffeine provider, and Chaldea's staff is noticeably dismayed when Ren goes on a mission and leaves robots in charge of the cafeteria.
* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Igor strongly stresses that Joker must be very careful around Chaldea and keep the true nature of his power a secret, or the magi will try to abduct and vivisect him in their greedy attempts to gain these abilities for themselves. It's reinforced by Roman after he gives Mona and Ren a physical, warning them that the Clock Tower will slap a Sealing Designation upon them if they are seen wielding their Personas.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Chaldea's staff tend to be aloof towards Servants. Mona and Ren disagree with their opinion -- when you look, talk and act human, you deserve to be treated as a human being.
