* SpeciesSubversives: Bahija, Missy Coco's sheep-girl secretary, subverts SweetSheep. At first glance she seems meek and nice enough, albeit a bit cranky and downtrodden due to her enemies and her own boss not giving her much respect. Later on when Circe's wedding is attacked, [[spoiler: her birth form--that of a gigantic Western-style blue dragon--is revealed, and]] she's shown to be very powerful, prideful and arrogant.

* BatmanGambit: Essentially what [[spoiler:the failsafe in Circe's love potions]] amounted to. Having past experience with magic backfiring on her, Circe placed contingencies in said products in the event that they were ever used on her. The possibility is left that the contingencies would never be activated, thus leaving her in Marc's thrall for the rest of her life, though it would still be very unlikely given her past experiences with Callista's faction: she knew they wouldn't take her condition lying down. Ultimately, she is able to get mileage out of it.

** Claire tells Missy and Viridi to "Fly, you fools" after blasting the crab mech with a rocket launcher. Missy confirms it was intended to be a ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' reference, as opposed to ''Lord of the Rings''.

* OneSteveLimit: Callista and Kaoru try to use an inversion of this when trying to convince themselves that there's nothing to worry about regarding Circe's wedding. Aside from the sorceress, in-universe there's also a computer programmer and a furniture saleslady with the same name. The possibility is raised that one of Callista's fans has the name as well.

* VillainousBSoD: Bahija goes through one of these after fully realizing why Ezekiel hugged her: [[spoiler:that for all she was thoroughly unrepentant for her past actions, her misplaced love for Callista meant that if she was told to never do those things again, she would obey her without question.]]

* BitterWeddingSpeech: Ambush's Gengar, in the guise of a priest, gives the speech at the wedding ceremony. When he gets to "I now pronounce you...", he proceeds to viciously insult both bride and groom before breaking the masquerade, hitting both of them with a Lick attack, and cackling his way off the physical plane.

Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: The segments featuring each saboteur following the conference in ''[=TotT=]'' are all solemn or thoughtful in their own way while they make preparations for the wedding attack in a month's time, and the music tracks selected by the author fit that ambience. Then we get to Missy and Viridi... who are furiously trying to annihilate each other at ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', with an upbeat track from said game selected to match.

* CovertEmergencyCall: While being accosted by Acutus, Ellen feigns being cold by blowing on her hands and jamming them into her pockets, at which point she discreetly dials a long-memorized number on her smartphone without looking and relies on the noise Acutus was making to try and get her mother's attention. While her rescuer wasn't who she'd intended to find her, it still gets the job done.


Added DiffLines:

* JennysNumber: When Ambush has the summoner Jennifer Berra cornered, he starts humming "867-5309" eerily before transforming her. He then pauses to reassure the summoner's frightened kitten before leaving, continuing to hum the song on his way out.
