* LoveDodecahedron: Luca has a crush on Isaac, who's {{tsundere}} for Ferid, who loves to tease everyone but mostly Isaac and [[StockholmSyndrome Juri]], and Juri just wants normal captives instead of this nonsense.

* CloningBlues: After learning that his Pokémon are copies made from his memories and the real ones are likely still alive, Archie decides not to tell them so they can keep thinking they're real.

* OddballInTheSeries: While we still learn a little about [[BiggerBad Murder vaults, Inc.]], this round doesn't involve one of their games. Instead, Arbiters who judge the souls of the dead were inspired by a victim of one of the games, who came through to be judged, and it's implied (and later confirmed) that the first round's BigBad was also judged by Ginti.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green is an oddly popular hair color for this round. Cilan, Jean, Nephenee, and Terumi all have green hair. As well as Fern, who is ''entirely'' green. Actually commented on; Katniss initially thinks the unnatural-in-real-life colours are some Capitol trend.

* [[invoked]] BeamMeUpScotty: Aligula says that "someone famous" once said, "The harder something is to win, the better the prize'll be!" She actually just made that up herself.

'''Warning: all spoilers are unmarked.'''

* AintNoRule: Luca tries to reason that coming BackFromTheDead isn't against the rules to try and prevent a retaliation and save Chitoge when Juri finds out she's back.
* AllAreEqualInDeath: A key part of the argument against the judgments Ginti gives in the mastermind trial is the idea that this ''should'' be the case, but the exercise was unfair from the start.

* ArcSymbol: A haloed water droplet. It seems to symbolize that the Competitors were all DeadAllAlong.
%%* ArcWords: "Keep moving forward."
* BackForTheDead: Chitoge's brief return combines this with BackFromTheDead.
* BackFromTheDead: Chitoge manages to return to the living during Week 6. Sadly, she is forced to go back to the afterlife when Juri finds out, but not without some letters to the dead from the living.
* BalancingDeathsBooks: When Chitoge revives and Juri finds out, some of the others offer to be sent to their deaths in her place. Juri kills Chitoge again anyway.

* BittersweetEnding: Even though the [[OffTheChart Platinum]] [[GoldenEnding Ending]] eked out a happier ending than planned for everyone, they're still all dead and won't return to their normal lives, and despite everyone's hope, it's not guaranteed that they'll be reincarnated into the same world or meet each other again.
* BoyMeetsGhoul: Angel gets together with Chitoge after the latter dies, thanks to a Ouija board and Chitoge's less-than-a-day-long resurrection. Some of the other characters are creeped out.

* TheCameo: Remember Kimblee? His stuff cameos and it's hinted that Ginti sent him to the Void after Susan stabbed him in the face.

* CloningBlues: After learning that his Pokémon are copies made from his memories and the real ones are likely still alive, Archie decides not to tell them so they can keep thinking they're real.

* CreepyDoll: Juri keeps "dolls," unliving replicas of the Competitors' bodies, and apparently likes to set up creepy scenes with them. It turns out that they can come to life with "memories shoved into them," too.

* DeadAllAlong: The Competitors. The game was an exercise to judge the souls of the dead.

* DoubleSubversion: With the mastermind's identity. With the setup being that the Adjudicator would actually appear in person from the beginning, this round seemed to subvert the previous two rounds' revelations that the masterminds were existing characters from real franchises. Nope. Juri was just a disguise. Do we say "''Anime/DeathParade'' confirmed" now?

* FakingTheDead: Juri exchanges himself with a doll and has the Competitors investigate his "death" in the final investigation.

* FirstNameBasis: Juri executes Ferid/Cunning with his real name and Walter/Methodical with a pseudonym from canon.

* FlirtingUnderFire: Ferid makes it a priority to embarrass Isaac even in the courtroom. Even when they're both about to be executed. Inigo similarly flirts with a ''lot'' of people in court.

* FrameUp: Juri tries to frame Inigo for his "[[FakingTheDead murder".]] The other Competitors don't buy it.
* GetOut: Juri [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristically]] demands this of the Competitors after Archie manages to injure him during the third execution.

* GoThroughMe: Yuri says Juri would have had to go through everyone to execute Katniss if she'd killed Walter instead of just hit him in the courtroom.
* HeroicSacrifice: While she doesn't actually die, Fern throws herself in front of Katniss when Walter tries to stab her.

* InherentInTheSystem: Of course people were going to fail Ginti's test; he rigs every one he runs, and as Jean says, it's meant to draw out the worst parts of you. At this point, the argument to save everyone focuses on whether or not a system that errs Void-heavy and sometimes cheats to do it is a bug or a feature.

* IronicEcho: In the third trial, the culprit stabbed Juri and spat in his face, giving some hope to the survivors. A week later, Walter showed his true colors by stabbing Fern and spitting in Katniss's face.
* IronicHell: The Void leaves you alone with your thoughts and misery. Aligula also moves that the game itself is one, because it made her feel and reflect, too.
* {{Irony}}: In the Round 2 finale, Cherryblod says that you can't have the chance to reform if you're dead. Round 3's endgame depends on the idea that you can and proving that the Competitors have done so.
* ItAmusedMe: The reason [[JerkAss Ferid]] does anything, apparently, including killing Angel and Yuri -- though others press him to admit that there was more to it.

* KissOfTheVampire: Ferid has always wanted to bite Juri, and when he gets his chance, it's played as this.

* MyGreatestSecondChance: Two of the Competitors are known for being some of the first major characters to die in their canons. For Sayaka, she's the first body again, but Robert makes survivor pool. As well, Week 3 had a do-over motive.
%%* MyRuleFuIsStrongerThanYours: Attempted in the argument to save the revived Chitoge.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Luca's regret when he finds out that he's dead is that he wasn't able to say goodbye to his kid.
* OddballInTheSeries: While we still learn a little about [[BiggerBad Murder vaults, Inc.]], this round doesn't involve one of their games. Instead, Arbiters who judge the souls of the dead were inspired by a victim of one of the games, who came through to be judged, and it's implied (and later confirmed) that the first round's BigBad was also judged by Ginti.

* PoisonIsEvil: Very much so with Walter, but Chitoge and Archie are treated more sympathetically for poisoning the Adjudicator instead of a fellow Competitor.
* {{Psychopomp}}: Both the mastermind and one of the deadland [=NPCs=] are this, and the exercise is a game to judge and deliver the dead.
* RageQuit: What to do when there's no right answer to the last trial, and not voting is already off the table? Cilan realizes that [[RulesLawyer this trial skipped the "Majority Rules" clause. They hang the jury in hopes of stopping the game.]]
* ReincarnationRomance: In the ending, many of the couples are banking on this. The [[StarCrossedLovers alternative would be too sad to fit the mood.]]
%%* RetGone: One motive threatens to do this to the Competitors if no one kills.

* SlasherSmile: Isaac is described with one during his execution when he's trying to fight back.
%%* SoProudOfYou: Fern tells Katniss this after the fourth and sixth trials.
* StealthPun: [[Creator/WaltDisney Walter White killed the Disney Channel characters.]] And then there's the shape Isaac's home is in.
* SuicideMission: Chitoge poisons the Adjudicator knowing full well it breaks Rule 5.

%%* TakeAThirdOption: Chitoge says it's what she always does when she's trapped.
* TalkingYourWayOut: Endgame, for every single character. Out of being sent to the Void, that is.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Subverted in case 6. Nobody actually did anything to the radish. Used straight when Aligula drugs Ferid's blood jar.

* TogetherInDeath: Mack and Brady are found dead on the same day.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Subverted. Having nasty-tasting blood didn't save Angel; Ferid just stopped drinking and used the rest as paint.

%%* TrailOfBlood: One is seen in the sixth investigation.
* TwistEnding: Not only is everybody DeadToBeginWith, the mastermind trial takes a different form. Rather than the mastermind himself being on trial, the ''Competitors'' are, and the effort is not to figure out whether to spare or kill Juri, but whether to accept their own judgments or try to ScrewDestiny to save themselves.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: When Juri fakes his death. Everyone takes it back when he turns out to be alive, though.
* WhamLine: In deadland, there's "I called her Rachel." Why? Rachel is one of the six Mystery Women, but presumably any mention or backstory for her would have been saved for a later round, since Lisbeth got Round 1, Hilda 2, and 3 already had Alena.

%%* WhosOnFirst: Ferid tries this routine with Isaac. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint It goes as well as you'd think.]]

* YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith: Walter says as much in his MTB, asserting that he won't be convicted and the evidence against him is flawed.
* YourMom: Robert makes this kind of comment to try and rile up Archie when they're accusing him of the third murder.

* DealWithTheDevil: Archie suspects that AZ "got wrapped up in somethin' he shouldn't have" with a legendary Pokémon to be as old as he is.
* DiscoveringYourOwnDeadBody: [[spoiler:It's bad enough when Jean finds duplicate bodies of other competitors, living and dead, stored in a series of cabinets. Then, in the last one...]]

* GoodNewsBadNews: One of the Week 4 victims to the other in deadland. "Good news: I feel way better. Bad news: I think we died."
* GoThroughMe: Yuri says Juri would have had to go through everyone to execute [[spoiler:Katniss]] if she'd killed [[spoiler:Walter instead of just hit him in the courtroom.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:While she doesn't actually die, Fern throws herself in front of Katniss when Walter tries to stab her.]]

* HypocriticalHumor: Isaac can't believe that Ferid flirts with Juri of all people. Hmm. Who here [[spoiler:actually had feelings for a murdergame mastermind]]?
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:Ginti ends up taking Ferid and Aligula on as temporary assistants.]]

* KillItWithFire: The common response to a regain you don't want or a reminder of someone you don't like. Robert comments that it seems almost [[FirePurifies religious]]. Even Juri does it, burning [[spoiler:most of his reminders of the Competitors... and his gift from Ferid: the world's ugliest suit.]]
