!Tropes for this episode include:

* AngerBornOfWorry: While Naofumi and Raphtalia try and buy more equipment for her from the blacksmith, Raphtalia angrily scolds him that he needs protection just as much as she does.
* DarkIsNotEvil: When Raphtalia requests that the blacksmith make a custom AdventurerOutfit for Naofumi, he pulls through and makes a more advanced version of his current outfit that fits his AntiHero personality called "Barbarian Armor", intending it to make him look like a bandit. While Naofumi thinks its design is counterproductive for his image as a hero, he acknowledges that it isn't so bad.
* DestructiveSaviour: Using a fire spell, the Royal Knights destroy some of the remaining monster horde in the village... and some of the village along with it. If Naofumi wasn't quick enough, he and Raphtalia would have burned along with it.
* DoomsdayClock: The Dragon Hourglass is a giant artifact housed in the village used to countdown when the Wave of Catastrophe occurs, and even allows government-sanctioned adventurers to level-up.
* KarmicJackpot: After the village is evacuated, some of the villagers regroup with weapons to help fight off the remaining monsters, inspired by Naofumi's willingness to fight for them. After the Wave ends, the entire village honor him for his help.
* KickTheDog: When Naofumi runs into the other Cardinal heroes and their parties, Motoyasu mocks Naofumi's sub-par equipment and offers Raphtalia a spot on his team, telling her that she isn't safe with Naofumi.
* KillItWithFire: Naofumi deals with the army of zombies going after him at the watch-tower by dousing them with lamp oil and lighting them on fire.
** The Royal Knights take some of the monsters invading the village by surprise with a fire-spell.
* KnightInSourArmor: While the other heroes and their parties are off fighting the waves at the source, [[AllLovingHero Naofumi prioritizes the safety of the villagers]], acting as a distraction against an army of TheUndead so that the village can evacuate until the knights get there. He continues to do this even as he questions why he is fighting so hard for complete strangers in the first place.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: We only see the end of the Sword, Bow and Spear Heroes ending the Wave by killing a chimera.
* MilitariesAreUseless: While the Royal Knights were able to take out a few monsters with a fire spell by surprise, they are completely out of their depth when facing the rest of the monsters and leave Naofumi to take care of it, the knights only getting to the three heroes only ''after'' the Wave ends. Subverted, as some of the knights stay behind and ''do'' manage to help fend them off.
* MistakenForPedophile: Due to his [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness cynically warped view of reality]] caused by his TraumaCongaLine, the fact that Raphtalia's leveling up had [[YoungerThanTheyLook prematurely aged her]] into a teenager goes completely unnoticed by him, everyone complimenting and hitting on her making him think that everyone is the country is "full of [[LoliconAndShotacon lolicons]]."
* PricklyPorcupine: The episode begins with Naofumi and Raphtalia fighting a porcupine monster.
* RealityEnsues: While the villagers return with weapons to help Naofumi fight off the monster horde, their weapons are all farming equipment since they are a farming village and are thus ill-equipped to handle it.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: After a week of leveling up, Raphtalia has gone from being a little girl to a woman in her late teens. This is apparently normal for demihumans.
