* HotAsHell: Asrava, albeit PlayedForLaughs. Then there's the matter of the demonic Fiends in the series, which is PlayedForHorror. The more mindless ones have an AnythingThatMoves mentality and stalk their human prey entirely naked, leading to an added level of powerlessness. There's even an moment where a character is dragged away by one of these demons, with the others later discovering their [[OutwithABang mutilated corpse split down the middle]].

He forces condemned souls to fight for the right to return to the land of the living every four-hundred years. Samvara borders the line of becoming a GodOfEvil, with his sadism being reflected during the various Rings of Rebirth.

* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: Sada invokes this at one point, pointing out the bizarre and seemingly unnecessary fact that despite everyone being dead, they still have working digestive tracts and genitalia. As Asrava later explains, it's to make them feel as human as they once were while also tacking on all the problems of having a full bladder/colon during a battle for your life.


Added DiffLines:

* NonHumansLackAttributes: ''Horrifyingly'' averted. All of the Fiends are [[MonstrousHumanoid Monstrous Humanoids]] with little-to-no clothing. Add in the fact that they all have disturbing demonic genitals and are clearly ''aroused'' by their human prey in several circumstances.

!! Ellipsis contains examples of:

* DeadlyGame: The Rings of Rebirth serve as this. Their purpose is to force the Reprobates to confront their weaknesses and overcome them; thus becoming a soul worthy of reincarnation by the end. However, Samvara twisted the trials into a murderous fight-to-the-death for his own personal amusement.
* DealWithTheDevil: The Reprobates are forced into this due to the sins they committed during their lives. They ''have'' to fight and kill each other, as they have no other choice.
* DevilButNoGod: Both Heaven and Hell exist, but God is never seen or heard throughout the series.
* DownerBeginning: The story literally '''begins''' with the Reprobates waking up in a swamp of ''coagulated blood''. It only gets worse when Gozu and Mezu wake up...
* DraggedOffToHell: The ultimate fate for any of the Reprobates that lose a game. Their soul is dragged into Hell where they're endlessly tormented for eternity.
* EnemiesWithDeath: Samvara, the story's embodiment of Death, serves as the main antagonist of the series.
* [[JerkassGods Jerkass God]]: Samvara, [[TheJudge King of the Null]]. He's the guy you go to if you're sent to purgatory. He forces condemned souls to fight for the right to return to the land of the living every four-hundred years. Samvara borders the line of becoming a GodOfEvil, with his sadism being reflected during the various Rings of Rebirth.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A majority of the Reprobates fall under this trope, all gathering together despite their differences and backgrounds.
* ToneShift: Compared to NAITO's other series ''{{Literature/Canticle}}'', which is defined by its fun shonen-inspired action, Ellipsis is purely a horrific and gory survival game.
