* TruthInTelevision: The near-drowning at the hospital highlights a horrifying truth: in most drowning cases, people don't realize something's wrong until it's too late. Here, a boy with a broken leg fell in the pool for the brief moment his caretaker had her attention away, and it happened so quietly that nobody noticed.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: No matter what rumours may say, a school isn't going to hand out its most prestigious award to the winner of a simple gym match. On the other hand, a student yelling "Die!" at others is perfect grounds for getting punished.

* MaliciousSlander: {{Defied|Trope}}. After Anya gets her first Stella Star for saving a boy from drowning, her classmates are unable to believe it, since [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint they all think she's some violent delinquent due to punching Damian on her first day of school]]. As such, they start debating that she may have gotten it via underhanded methods e.g. [[EngineeredHeroics she pushed the boy into the pool to make it look like she saved him]]. [[BrattyHalfPint Damian]], however, is quick to shut these rumours down, pointing out that there's no way the faculty would give a Stella Star to someone who hadn't earned it, they're tarnishing Eden Academy's good name by honestly suggesting such a thing, and that [[StatingTheSimpleSolution if they don't like how the school does things they can just transfer somewhere else]]. Notably, ''this'' is the moment that convinces Anya that [Damian [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold might be worth befriending after all]].

To become an Imperial Scholar, Anya begins trying to get Stella Stars with the help of Loid and Yor.

!!Tropes associated with Stella Star Arc:
* AffectionateParody: The dodgeball game seems to be a parody of sports arcs with high-stakes, as Henderson informs Bill and the other students they won't be getting a Stella for one dodgeball game.
* AllForNothing: The dodgeball game:
** Bill had trained a lot using scenarios to win the dodgeball game for the Stella. His overzealous efforts ended up getting him a ''Tonitrus'' instead due to his poor behavior.
** Similarly, Anya had trained with Yor to throw dodgeballs and even weathers Bill trying to force an out, but her last "ultimate" shot becomes a dud and she ends up losing.
* MoodWhiplash: Loid and Anya's quest to gain a Stella at the hospital starts as comedic: Anya manages to mess up every last task the staff tried to assign her, which becomes serious during the end as Anya reads the mind of a drowning child and nearly ended up drowning herself while trying to save him.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After poor academic grades and massive hurdles, Anya finally earns a Stella for her efforts to save Ken from drowning.
* WhamShot: A big dog kept in poor conditions has a premonition - of being adopted by the Forgers.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Bill Watkins is 6 years old despite his imposing stature.
