* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: [[spoiler:Sari figures if the Green Box doesn't allow living objects, Sora can bring her corpse in and ressurect her. Apparently, cardiac arrest after strangling yourself counts as not being alive, and she turns out perfectly fine after Sora perform a quick CPR]].



* ItsAllAboutMe: Sena doesn't even argue that he's been forced to do it. He really thinks millions of lives lost by his hands aren't important if it helps him escape, and picks countries at random with just a brief prior warning instead of going by population order and letting people evacuate.

* VillainProtagonist: While any normal person would consider them vs innocent people a SadisticChoice, it's not a dilemma for Sena, who embraces the properties of Green Box to destroy any country of choice and kills countless people for small things with limited use or just out of frustration.

!! ''Green Box'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Sena calls his mom for help as he's been kidnapped, but she instead yells at him for skipping school.
* AlmostOutOfOxygen: Subverted. Sena considers if he needs more oxygen if the Green Box is airtight, but using magic to get the oxygen and the internet in appears to be one of the room's unwritten properties.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:"Exit"]] is not a valid item according to Green Box's logic and [[spoiler:Monaco]] was sacrificed for nothing. [[spoiler:Liechtenstein]] similarly was used to learn that you can't transport humans in.
* BlatantLies: Numata from metropolitan police assures Sena that his rescue is going smoothly and takes priority. Sena can see from the news the government has used heavy explosives that would obliterate Green Box if not for its magical material and also failed.
* CellPhonesAreUseless: Subverted. Sena has his smartphone with full internet access, but Green Box somehow makes his location unknown. His phone eventually gets traced to a green structure in Ibaraki.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: As shown on the news, targeted people get their entire flesh twisted until it's compacted into a cube.
* DepopulationBomb: The Green Box can in minutes shred every human in any country.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Sena doesn't even argue that he's been forced to do it. He really thinks millions of lives lost by his hands aren't important if it helps him escape, and picks countries at random with just a brief prior warning instead of going by population order and letting people evacuate.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Sena picks remote Oceania islands in exchange for basic necessaries and wonders if it's better if he dies here. However, rationalizing that his escape is more valuable, he livestreams himself killing the entire population of [[spoiler:Italy]] to get attention and promises to keep going.
* LiteralGenie: Sena notes that Green Box is giving him items as he imagines them, not what would technically count. Him wishing for a "futon" also gets extra pillows because to him, they often go together.
* PoliceAreUseless:
** Sena manages to contact the police and report his kidnapping, but, since he doesn't know where he is, they bluntly dismiss him.
** The authorities do a lot better when Sena gets notoriety and track him down using his phone's radio signal, also assuring that he can't be prosecuted. But they can't do anything against the Green Box's magical structure.
* PottyEmergency: Sena wets himself after hesitating to select a second country to die. He summons a toilet next time he goes for it.
* SeriesContinuityError: For unclear reason, Sena picking Botswana also selects Zimbabwe along with it. The news saying that two countries were destroyed in succession gets no comment and Sena gets only one reward.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: The manga starts with Sena waking up in the titular green room.
* ZeroApprovalGambit: Sena was expecting that livestreaming the death of a country would get a lot of attention. While he got mainly death threats, some comments gave suggestions on what to wish for in order to escape the Green Box, and he got contacted by a journalist who knows a rumor about his situation, while the government has quickly worked out his whereabouts.
