* DoomTroops: The Chaos Space Marines, in the second thread,

* GroinAttack: In the second thread, Tophat did this a couple of times. In the eighth thread, Samus nailed a alleged rapist to a wall with a [[HarpoonGun harpoon gun]]. No prize for guessing where he was hit.

*** Actually, it happens [[OncePerEpisode Every night.]] Or at least used to.

* BackFromTheDead: Happened with Tophat, Athena, Erica, Ness, Laguna, Carmen (Twice, if you include her backstory), and Anise.

* DecoyProtagonist: Employed by [=VeneratedWulfen=] in the third and seventh thread, [=SacrificialLamb where he first introduced a minor character, only to have them killed off by some one hunting them.=]

* DecoyProtagonist: Employed by [=VeneratedWulfen=] in the third and seventh thread, where he first introduced a minor character, only to have them killed off by some one hunting them.

* WizardDuel: Azimuth versus Erica. It started out on a crumbling platform in Azimuth's tower, then turned into a FreeFallFight, and ended up in a desolate wasteland of a dimension Azimuth had conquered.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight

* StandardStatusEffects: Kefka made use of a plethora of debuffs. Erica often used a spell which made a target lose all hostile intentions, and one that paralyzed them.
** Riko's magic did this.

* GasMaskMook: Valentine controlled [[CloneArmy a small army]] of these in the third thread.

* HeroicBSOD: Joe suffered this after hearing a shocking reveal.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: For all the mental problems the DisfunctionJunction of a cast tend to have, none ever bother to get therapy.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Satan, Ikaros and Carmen.
** Subverted by [=Æanna=], who has white hair but is practically a saint.

* DoomTroops: The Chaos Space Marines, in the second thread,

** Joe. But he only can travel to dimensions that he has been to before e.g. The Dimension of Angry Chili Peppers.
** Doctor Com. Though it may be just a facade and he could actually be seeing universe through his many dimensional selves rather than actually travelling. (He is known to disappear suddenly.)

** The ninth thread. Hoo, boy. Samus and Yorrick shot injured people captured by the mermen, calling it a MercyKill, although neither bothered getting the victims to the hospital, or even checking the state they were in other then a glance. Numerous people stole from dead foes. They sat idly by whilst Joel stuck his arm down Kamshin's throat and cooked his oesophagus. They also sat idly by whilst Victoria stuck a knife in a disabled mook's gullet and twisted it around, just for the hell of it.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: The first battle against Chanda, in the third thread was fought in Rio de Janeiro, in a suburb burning with [[TechnicolorFlames white fire.]]

* BlackAndGreyMorality: All the threads had varying cases of this, but nowhere was it as evident as the seventh thread, with such [[SarcasmMode veritable saints]] like [[HornyDevil Carmen]], [[InsaneEqualsViolent Alice Chazzing]] [[EmbodimentOfVice Greed]], and [[SociopathicSoldier the Meta]] [[VillainProtagonist on the protagonist side]].

* HighAltitudeBattle: The battle against the Order of Sanctity in the ninth thread, where Samus and Gwen fought flying, (That is, Gwen did the flying and [[FastballSpecial threw Samus at the enemy.]]) Shara fought ontop of her ship while it was on autopilot, [=EMily=] using a gunport on Dave's ship, with support of an [=XCOM=] squad, who fought from the loading bay of their aircraft.

* MoralDissonance: In the first intermission of the ninth thread, the protagonists captured a grave robber and lectured him on how illegal the actions were.

Furthermore, in the Desperado Incursions arc, several protagonists stole [=HF=] weaponry off of Desperado mooks, or from the World Marshall headquarters.

** In the sixth thread, the protagonists faced Seymour, who had surrounded himself with a zombie horde of over a hundred thousand strong. What ensued, was this.

* MistakenForGranite: Averted. When Greed traversed Shadar's castle and neared the throne room, he expected the two gargoyles sitting outside the door would come to life. [[WrongGenreSavvy It turned out they were in fact, just regular statues.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the seventh thread, there was a ghost who pleaded the protagonists to get a message to her lover. The ghost eventually just disappeared, and the subject was never touched upon again.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Ba'Gamnan and his siblings]], who where recruited by Asha, in the fifth thread.

* ShootingSuperman: This isn't a rare occurance, but it paticularly stood out in the third arc of the seventh thread, where security personel kept shooting the [[PoweredArmour power armour]]-wearing Harper, [[NighInvulnerable Greed with diamond-hard skin]], and Thresher, [[MadeOfIron who's body is solid steel]]. Bonus points for not [[TooDumbToLive seeing this wasn't working, nor falling back.]]

* RetCon: The Hazama plot in the third thread.
** Kenna's and Samus' appearances in the seventh and eighth threads, respectively.

** In the sixth thread, the protagonists faced Seymour, who had surrounded himself with a zombie horde of over a thousand strong. What ensued, was this.

* MindControlDevice: Kefka's slave crowns. Loki's scepter/spear. The structures the Followers of the Dragonborn build.
** The gem Eve wore around her neck.

* DecoyProtagonist: Employed by VeneratedWulfen in the third and seventh thread, where he first introduced a minor character, only to have them killed off by some one hunting them.

* WizardDuel: Azimuth versus Erica.

* MassHypnosis: Done on the majority of the people in Regina by the Followers of the Dragonborn.
