** The reason Salex is dead was because [[spoiler: Yuki]] wanted to be with Taurtis. She almost had it, too... that is, if Taurtis didn't get together with [=ChanYandere=].

* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: Yuki,]] and to some extent, Sam, as he attempts to poison Soul.

* SchoolSportUniform: For both genders. Sometimes, Taurtis ends up wearing the girls' uniform.

* OldHeroNewPals: Most noticeable in the reboot of ''Tokyo Soul''. Sam is still the main protagonist, but much of the supporting cast is different. Some of the new characters are played by the players of former characters however.
* OnlySaneMan: Grian, when Sam and Taurtis begin acting strangely in unison.

** [[spoiler: Jts goes back to Denmark for war.]]
** A majority of the ''Yandere High School'' characters don't appear in ''Tokyo Soul'' with a few exceptions.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Soul and Sookie.
* SenseiChan: Okami. Subverted in that [[spoiler:she is married to the gym teacher, Rowan, and they have a daughter together.]]

** Sometimes, players don't appear because of what goes on in their lives.

* {{Adorkable}}: Sam and Taurtis are huge gamers and manga fans.

* TheAlcoholic:

* AmbiguousGender: Ellen, much to [[spoiler:Grian's]] chagrin. [=DaPieLord=] as well.

* AttractiveBentGender: [[spoiler:Sam and Taurtis, both to Dom and Sookie, who actually accepts Sam's affections for once as "Samantha".]]
* BadassTeacher: Rowan, and, as late revealed, [[spoiler:his wife Okami, as they and their daughter Silly are a SWAT squad.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Yuki. She killed the first main teacher, Gareth's wife, leading to his haunting of the school, because Taurtis jokingly had an interest in her. She also framed Chan-Yandere for running over Salex, Taurtis' girlfriend, and led her father's yakuza against Sam and Taurtis in the first season's finale. The showdown resulted in Sam, Taurtis, Grian, and Dom having to go into the witness protection program and move.]]

** In the ChristmasEpisode, [[spoiler:Hidden, Mr. Dorito, Taurtis and Grian are fed to the giant Snowman. After the Snowman is destroyed, everyone survives.]]
* The Ditz: Taurtis. In the ''first minute'' of the series, he doesn't know what day it is. He stays up all night gaming on a school night, doesn't know they have two televisions, and thinks "weird" is a cute nickname. It becomes more serious later on, when he pays too much money for things, gives away their only house key to their gym teacher, and tries to [[spoiler:switch sides in the middle of the season finale battle.]]

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Taurtis and Sam. Some [[HomoeroticSubtext Homoerotic Subtext]] can be found, such as kissing each other's wounds.
* HighSchool: Each series centers a high school.

* IncompatibleOrientation: Unfortunately for [[spoiler: Sam, Sookie is into girls.]]

* LittleBitBeastly: Sam, albeit [[ZigZagged zigzagged.]] He is either [[HalfHumanHybrid half-bunny,]] or a guy with a bunny hat. [[spoiler:When his father comes to school, he also has bunny ears, which doesn't clear it up any further.]]

** ZigZagged. [[spoiler:When undercover from the Yakuza, Sam, Taurtis and Grian put on novelty glasses. Sam and Taurtis forget Grian, to the point where he introduces himself as Grian, and they still don't make the connection. He just rolls with it, pretending that "Grian" tells "Grian the wizard" things, and sometimes that he has wizard powers.]] Later on, [[spoiler:Grian is forced to dress up as Taurtis by Sam, who then forgets that Grian isn't Taurtis. Taurtis then shows up as an amnesiac, who gets dubbed "Jerry".]] HilarityEnsues.

* Cool Teacher: Okami.
* Crazy Jealous Guy:
** Dom to Sam, over Invader.

** Anytime one of the characters dies in the roleplay. Since it's a Minecraft roleplay where the characters spawn back, it makes since that this happens.

* AFateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:The finale of ''Tokyo Soul'' (season 1) ends with Sam, Taurtis, Grian and Dom returning to their house, only to discover that it's floating in space. Also, while everyone else died at the hands of the Minions, our main cast is unable to die. So they get to spend the rest of eternity in purgatory.]]

Literally, there's nothing in the house at all: no beds, no books, no computers, no [=TVs=] and no couches. There's no one else there except for the four of them. They also learn that they won't age and they can't die no matter what they do. In short, they're basically stuck in purgatory for the rest of ''eternity''.]]
