Tropes from the third gimmick round of Roleplay/DanganRoleplay.
!This round provides examples of:
* AccidentalTruth: Sokka posits that [[spoiler:Noatak is Amon]] just to get at [[spoiler:Tarrlok]], whom he believes betrayed them by lying about his past. Actually, he's right.
* AllForNothing: Monobear takes great pleasure in showing the teams that the third motive was a fake after people were already dying for it.
* ApocalypticLog: [[spoiler:The adoption videos, which show how the original Foster's Home residents started to disappear.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Zoey's attack of choice in the fourth challenge, with maybe too much force.
* BigNo: Aelita when the second culprit confesses.
* BigShutUp: Wirt to Daffy [[spoiler:when the latter is trying to make excuses for killing Panda.]]
* BileFascination: Used InUniverse when Sokka and Tarrlok decide to watch [[Film/TheLastAirbender an inaccurate historical drama]].
* BloodstainedLetter: Aelita's journal, though the blood is just from when she got cut on the bathroom tile.
* CanonWelding: Some of the Nick characters recognize the Crimson Chin and Reptar, ShowWithinAShow characters from other Nick series.
* CassetteCraze: Justified with the tapes, since they were set up to record interviews and only by chance ended up recording an ApocalypticLog.
* ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs: Reptar Cereal, one of the many Reptar licensed snack foods in the pantries.
* ChunkySalsaRule: Used and named when [[spoiler:Tarrlok's]] body is found. [[spoiler:Monobear mocks it by giving everyone salsa at breakfast the next day, too.]]
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Team Nick has orange and white Electronic Student Handbooks. Team CN's are black and white. The same goes for their sides of the dividing wall.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Minor or warning infractions will often result in sliming, much like Disney Ronpa's glitter-dumping, or in individual silly punishments like in Smash. For an example of the latter, Ren gets all his expletives (or even [[GoshDangItToHeck near-expletives]]) censored for a week after he smuggles himself through Mailbox.
* CoolButStupid: Many of the challenges are designed to be both epic and silly, especially the Pokémon one.
* TheCorrupter: A painting of Aku starts talking late at night to try and tempt Ren to kill. [[spoiler:It's initially suspected to be Vlad, but he claims he didn't do it.]]

* DisappointedByTheMotive: Nearly everyone at the first culprit's confession.
* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: In the first week, a few contestants discuss what might happen if someone gives into the bear's game. Someone killing Ren because he'd threatened to off the whole house is mentioned as a distinct possibility, and Ren himself doesn't help when he never explains what he does and convinces Kel that he's setting death traps.
* DramaticShattering: The snowglobe in the second execution.
* DrowningMySorrows: After Tarrlok's argument with Sokka and subsequent breakdown at the secrets motive, he goes to get wasted in the nightclub.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: The team merger is precipitated by [[spoiler:Tarrlok baiting Monobear into blowing him up with a chunk of the dividing wall]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Monobear's enforcer, "Subject 3," is TheBrute and apparently didn't need to be tortured into submission, but still won't harm Mailbox.]]

* FriendlyWar: The Nick and CN teams bear one another no ill will, and the setup means they can only kill their own teammates, not their opponents.

* HeadDesk: Vlad gets extremely frustrated during the fourth trial and repeatedly bangs his head on his podium.
* HomemadeSweaterFromHell: Muriel knits these for everyone as soon as the sewing room opens up.
* HumanMail: When the Nick team meets Mailbox, Ren stuffs himself inside to see the other team. Monobear promptly bans this practice.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Any time Jinafire and Cat Noir are in the same room. [[spoiler:Even the ''murder log.'']]
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:The remaining survivors versus the corrupted Lapis. They nearly reach her, but she's still about to kill Steven when Ladybug has to shatter her gem.]]
* IllKillYou: The first culprit has people jumping at them right away, one even threatening this from past the impenetrable glass the Nick team is trapped behind.
* IncessantMusicMadness: The second part of the three-curses motive is an all-day playback of the same annoying song.

* LastSecondWordSwap: At the first afterparty, Vlad calls Sokka "[[WrongNameOutburst D--]] dear boy."
* LostMyAppetite: Sokka and Tarrlok after the first challenge, even though they'd been starved for days. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness It even put Sokka off of meat!]]
* ManHug: [[spoiler:Jade and Vegeta hug awkwardly before the former's execution. Vegeta doesn't really seem to know what he's doing.]]
* ManMadeHouseFlood: Kel accidentally starts doing this when he tries to prevent Ren from burning the house down.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Lapis attempts it on Jade so she won't have to be executed. She's stopped, however.]]
* MundaneLuxury: Team Nick's kitchen, after a few days of eating nothing but slime and machine prizes.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:[[SuicideByCop Deliberately invoked]] after Tarrlok's breakdown and the fourth trial.

* SneakingSnacks: The first killer [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink relied on]] knowing that his victim would raid the cupboards in the night.
* StunnedSilence: Wirt when he walks in to find [[spoiler:Aelita and Beatrice messily dead in the casino]].
* TeethFlying: When Vegeta beats him up at the fourth team challenge, Ren loses a tooth.
* TelepathicSprinklers: Justified in [[spoiler:the Case 5 execution ending. Face is remotely controlling the sprinklers, so they're not all going off on their own.]]

* TortureAlwaysWorks: Monobear's way of life, even when he could get results another way.
* TortureCellar: [[spoiler:The CN team finds one in week 3, apparently used on their own coach. The Nick team finds theirs a week later.]]
* TrapDoor: Case 5 reveals that [[spoiler:every podium has one inside, ready to drop the orphans into an open furnace. TOM and Face rebel in time to save them from a mass execution, though.]]
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Investigation logs. There's a section for the team that actually lost a member to investigate the death, and the other team gets a setting investigation.
* VersusTitle: Because it's the first round to be based on teams.
* VileVillainLaughableLackey: This round has a ''truly'' detestable sadist of a mastermind, but balances it out with the coaches, who were ForcedIntoEvil and are actually pretty likeable.
* WhamEpisode: The end of the peace week. The characters wake up with a wall between the teams and are assigned coaches and team challenges, and the players finally learn why the title has "versus" in it.
* WrongNameOutburst: At the first afterparty, Vlad very nearly does this, [[LastSecondWordSwap stopping himself in time]].
* YourMom: In the fourth challenge, Zoey has Wirt pretend to be offended by a comment like this so he can tackle her.

* MyGrandmaCanDoBetterThanYou: When trying to get Wirt to fight in the fourth challenge, Zoey says a dog could hit harder.
* NoseNuggets: Big foam ones in the third challenge, out of a giant fake nose.
* ObviousRulePatch: Once Ren actually mails himself to the other team, Monobear makes a rule against it.
* OrphanageOfFear: The setting is a corrupted version of [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Foster's Home]].
* OrphansOrdeal: The captives are called "orphans" instead of "students" (but still have Super High School Level titles) and are trapped in an OrphanageOfFear.
* PassThePopcorn: Plagg isn't exactly sympathetic at the secrets motive.
* PinkySwear: At the fifth trial when they're about to vote, between Sokka, Steven, and (with a ''lot'' of convincing) Vegeta.
* PleaseWakeUp: Ren attempts this at the second body discovery, slapping the body's face and yelling at the victim to "stop being dead."
* PutOffTheirFood: Sokka and Tarrlok after the disturbing first challenge, which involves having to sit through depictions of force-feeding and pseudo-cannibalism.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:[[SuicideByCop Deliberately invoked]] after Tarrlok's breakdown and the fourth trial. He decides to do something to help the others instead of try to keep himself safe for once in his life, and he lures Monobear into killing him right where he can blow up part of the wall too.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: No fewer than three people jump to this in the first trial and have to be held back.
* SayMyName: "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" [[spoiler:at his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* TheScream: Nearly everyone when they find what used to be [[spoiler:Tarrlok's body all over the waiting room.]]
* SkywardScream: [[spoiler:Steven when he finds Panda dead.]]
* SneakingSnacks: The first killer [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink relied on]] knowing that his victim would raid the cupboards in the night.
* StunnedSilence: Wirt when he walks in to find [[spoiler:Aelita and Beatrice messily dead in the casino]].
* TeethFlying: When Vegeta beats him up at the fourth team challenge, Ren loses a tooth.
* TelepathicSprinklers: Justified in [[spoiler:the Case 5 execution ending. Face is remotely controlling the sprinklers, so they're not all going off on their own.]]
* TigerVersusDragon: [[spoiler:Not quite, but the closest thing to make an allusion with, when Cat Noir ends up fighting Jinafire for the case two murder.]]
* TortureAlwaysWorks: Monobear's way of life, even when he could get results another way.
* TortureCellar: [[spoiler:The CN team finds one in week 3, apparently used on their own coach. The Nick team finds theirs a week later.]]
* TrapDoor: Case 5 reveals that [[spoiler:every podium has one inside, ready to drop the orphans into an open furnace. TOM and Face rebel in time to save them from a mass execution, though.]]
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Investigation logs. There's a section for the team that actually lost a member to investigate the death, and the other team gets a setting investigation.
* VersusTitle: Because it's the first round to be based on teams.
* VileVillainLaughableLackey: This round has a ''truly'' detestable sadist of a mastermind, but balances it out with the coaches, who were ForcedIntoEvil and are actually pretty likeable.
* WhamEpisode: The end of the peace week. The characters wake up with a wall between the teams and are assigned coaches and team challenges, and the players finally learn why the title has "versus" in it.
* WrongNameOutburst: At the first afterparty, Vlad very nearly does this, [[LastSecondWordSwap stopping himself in time]].
* YourMom: In the fourth challenge, Zoey has Wirt pretend to be offended by a comment like this so he can tackle her.
