* KickTheSonOfABitch: When Blake asks Ilia why she joined the White Fang if she can pass for human, Ilia explains that she was raised human to improve her future prospects, even if it meant she could never introduce her human friends to her Faunus family and had to join in with her friends' anti-Faunus rhetoric. When a tragedy struck the Dust mine her parents worked in, Ilia's friends laughed about the Faunus' suffering. Ilia turned blue with grief, outing her as a Faunus and causing her former friends to turn on her. In retaliation, she broke their teeth. This led to her joining the White Fang under its terrorist banner.

* ChaseSceneObstacleCourse: While being chased, Blake and Sun's target releases a trailer full of crates to roll back down the steep hill towards the market stalls at the bottom. Sun uses his Semblance to gain control of the trailer while Blake swings around the obstruction to continue the chase.

* DramaticIrony: Ilia tells Blake that attending school in Atlas meant that she was forced to hide her Faunus identity and disguise herself as a human. Blake is horrified and thinks that's a terrible thing to have to do, but Ilia says it's actually easy. As this scene is a flashback, Blake has no idea that, in the future, she will decide to attend Beacon Academy by hiding her Faunus heritage, disguising herself as a human, and even implying to Sun that it's an easy thing to do.

* ParryingBullets: Blake is shot at just as she's drawing her sword, so uses the sheath to parry the bullets.
* ReliablyUnreliableGuns: Blake and Sun's target is initially able to keep firing a gun at them, but it quickly fails. After giving it a quick shake, he sheaths it in his waistband and starts running. Blake and Sun never use their own guns at all.
* RoofHopping: To escape from Blake, Ilia drops a crate in front of her and uses the distraction to leap up to the roof. She waits for Blake to leave, and then departs by running and somersaulting across some rooftops.
* TwangHello: Just as Blake captures her target, she's forced to fling herself backwards as a weapon lashes out of nowhere at her. This is Ilia's introduction into the chase scene, appearing whip-blade first to save her ally from Blake.
* WallRun: To get past the uncontrolled trailer, Blake throws her gun into a crate and swings around it, this involves her running along a wall to get passed it.
