* YouCantFightFate: One thing Yukari remarks and hammers home in one of the omakes and the final stage is this trope [[spoiler:in regards to the events that led to her transitioning from her usual self as Maribel to the gap Youkai -- that she herself had to force her past self's hand to murder her beloved Renko, with Girlfriend's timeline also being set in stone as she [[AccidentalMurder accidentally murders Boyfriend]] in trying to kill Maribel. Even if Yukari wanted to save them and not go through with the manipulation, the timeline wouldn't allow her, with her implicitly not going through the act a countless number of times until she did it.]]
-->'''Yukari:''' [[spoiler:I've tried to save her... so many times... only to end with failure either way.]] It's a fate that all versions of myself suffer from.
-->'''Kiki:''' I see... I can't blame you then. Fate is one son of a bitch.

* DoomedProtagonist: Boyfriend. [[spoiler:The first stage alone implies some unfortunate fate had befallen them through Kiki Setsuko's (ie, a future Girlfriend) holding their signature cap. By Stage 6, we finally see the payoff: courtesy of a corrupted Maribel avoiding death from GF's hand intended to stop them from killing BF -- by portal-ing that into BF's chest.]]
