* FireForgedFriends:
** Akira and Runi start out hostile to each other, since Runi is paranoid of Akira while Akira doesn't appreciate Runi reading their mind. However, they're forced to team up [[spoiler:when Barbados/Aries destroys Pon Pon Village and kills most of the residents. Whether or not they become friends depends on the player's choice in Bone Town]].
** If Akira rejects friendship with Runi, [[spoiler:but chooses to intervene when Gemini tries to convince Runi to mind wipe herself, Gemini tries to kill Akira. Runi then kills Gemini to save Akira, leading to the two reconciling. Gameplay-wise, this raises Runi's link level and restores the player's ability to have bonding events with Runi]].

* AlasPoorVillain: Depending on the player's choice for their first bonding event, [[spoiler:Barbados's last words will be different. If Akira didn't increase Barbados's link level to 1, Barbados accuses them of being a FalseFriend who never really cared about him and dies unrepentant. If Akira did spend time with Barbados, the latter shows regret for his actions and acknowledges Akira as his friend]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: The {{Superboss}}, [[spoiler:Asterisk/Ophiuchus, can sync with any archdemon and changes sync partners every turn. Not only does this allow him to [[BarrierChangeBoss change his weaknesses]] and battle mechanics, this prevents the party from syncing with the archdemons, since Ophiuchus's syncs take priority]].

* GameplayGrading: In the December 2023 update, archdemon battles now include a checklist of objectives, which include winning without consumable items, winning within a time limit specific to each boss, and winning on hard mode. Completing the first two objectives for an archdemon grants a "gold" Steam achievement.

* LetUsFightLikeGentlemen: The ultimate {{Superboss}} [[spoiler:Asterisk/Ophiuchus will give the party a Synchro Ring, which allows the wearer to use sync specific skills in their normal form. This is to compensate for the fact that in Ophiuchus's boss fight, he will prevent the party from syncing. He's also perfectly willing to sell goods to the party right before the boss fight]].


Added DiffLines:

* NobleDemon: Although Asterisk [[spoiler:is the GreaterScopeVillain behind Zazz and is only helping the party to ensure the maximum amount of syncs for Zazz's plan, he has more of a sense of fair play and generosity in comparison. In the standard ending, he agrees to delay humanity's resurrection for five years out of respect for Akira. Before his {{Superboss}} fight, he gives the party the Synchro Ring knowing that it mitigates his boss mechanic of disallowing the party from syncing]].

* InvincibleVillain: Although Asterisk can be defeated in a boss fight, it's clear he's holding back to a more reasonable level to challenge Akira. It turns out [[spoiler:he's actually Ophiuchus, the God of Cycles, and is so strong that he can oneshot Aphos, a powerful angel. Even the BigBad Zazz stood no chance in his past fight with Asterisk, which is why he had to negotiate with Asterisk in order to get the archdemons to revive humanity. In the ending, Akira doesn't bother trying to challenge Asterisk and instead seeks a compromise to delay humanity's revival long enough for the party to reform society]].

* MoralMyopia: In an inversion of ApeShallNeverKillApe, Asterisk holds the party in contempt for [[spoiler:killing Gemini by shattering her Zodiac stone. When the party retorts that Gemini was planning to kill the other Zodiacs, Asterisk states that it's okay for archdemons to kill each other and that they've done so in the past, it's not okay for mortals to do so. It's implied the archdemons are incapable of permanently killing each other even if they wanted to, though Asterisk made sure to create Faceless clones as backups in cased an archdemon actually dies. Strangely, this sentiment isn't shared by archdemons Libra and Leo, who believe the party was justified in killing Gemini]].

* EarnYourBadEnding: The Evil Runi route is the most depressing outcome, since [[spoiler:Gemini will convince Runi to mind wipe herself. As a result, Gemini becomes the FinalBoss and kills all party members except Akira. Then Zazz turns out to have survived, and he kills Akira by flinging them from the top floor of Zetacorp, allowing him to enact his human supremacist dystopia and take over the world. This ending also has very strict requirements, since it requires the player to never use activity points and to reject Runi's friendship. Additionally, not using activity points means most characters will have a very low link level, making them slightly weaker than on a normal playthrough. Finally, Gemini is a much tougher boss than Zazz/Aquarius due to her ability to gain multiple actions the more she's hit, making her the only Zodiac who is stronger than her Faceless counterpart]].

Added DiffLines:

* HandyMan: Although Akira is one of the best combatants among the Hunters, they focus more on jobs that directly help people with their everyday problems, such as plumbing or fixing appliances. While this did prevent them from attaining a high rank due to their lack of combat and Zodiac Stone missions, they were also well-respected by Zeta's citizens. This is deconstructed because they're still technically subservient to Zetacorp, the corporation responsible for oppressing Zeta's citizens. Additionally, their popularity causes Zazz to become paranoid of them and scheme to kill them to create an InspirationalMartyr for Zetacorp. This is reconstructed when Akira's popularity as a handyman causes Zetacorp's propaganda campaign against them to be less effective than expected and inspires other people to rebel against Zetacorp.

* DevelopersDesiredDate: Eliza, Kiyota, Edgar, Chase, Genesis, and Setzuna are all romantic options for Akira, but the game makes it relatively easier to pair with Eliza compared to everyone else, since her first bonding event is free and can instantly fulfill the conditions for romance. Setzuna requires the player not to fulfill anyone else's romance conditions for the whole game while the non-Eliza party members require you not to miss their bonding events. Story-wise, Eliza was already established to have a crush on Akira and secretly arranged for Barbados to show up later to the celebration party so that she has more time alone with Akira.

* AmicableExes: Akira and Rosie were once a couple, but they broke up because of their conflicting schedule and because Akira was too passive in their relationship. Despite that, Akira still frequents Rosie's bar and the two remain good friends. However, it's possible for them to get back together if Rosie's link level is maxed out.

Added DiffLines:

* ExtremeDoormat: In Chapter 1, after [[spoiler:the destruction of Pon Pon Village, Akira has a dream where they realize that following the law and complying with Zetacorp's demands just gives the corporate state more power to oppress the citizens. They also realize that their past relationship with Rosie failed because they were too passive and mainly just did what Rosie wanted, which only made Rosie feel bad. At this point, Akira decidess they need to start doing what they want instead of trying to please people, resulting in them becoming a rebel against Zeta. However, Akira can regress back into this trope in the Evil Runi route, where they become too passive again and do nothing to stop Gemini until it's too late]].

* WeHaveReserves:
** Zazz has no problem risking his Hunters or sacrificing them to obtain the Zodiac stones, regardless of their rank. He deliberately made Zeta's economy terrible so that people will be forced to become Hunters if they want to make a living, making them easy to replace.
** If the player gets [[spoiler:Runi to kill Gemini, Asterisk states that Gemini can be replaced by her Faceless counterpart]].
