* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler: Domingo is killed in the first episoe when a statue falls over him.]]

* InfantImmortality: El Balde is sometimes called "The orphan maker" since he usually kills the parents and leaves the children alive ([[WouldHurtAChild not unscathed, but alive]]).
** [[spoiler: Averted with Domingo]]

* {{NiceJobBreakingItHero}}: [[spoiler: Silencio murdering Padre Serrano. As he was the secret Kingpin of San Simon, he was El Balde's rival and the only one who kept the town in relative peace. Upon his death, El Balde immediately took over, and committed horrible atrocities in his short reign.]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: Jesus has a chubby physique, but has no trouble with agility when performing martial arts.

** El Baldi picks up a small doll in episode 5 that looks like Alucard of the Castlevania series, [[{{WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017}} specifically the series animated by the same studio]].

* LesserOfTwoEvils: The church ran drugs and weapons; but were a hell of a lot less violent than El Baldi's cartel and that transformative drug he's peddling.

* TongueTrauma: It's revealed that Silencio's muteness is a result of getting his tongue mutilated as a child [[spoiler: at the hands of El Balde.]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler: Padre Serrano did seem like he was going to help Isabela, Jesus, and Silencio, but when it turned out the Padre was the town's kingpin and was confronted by the trio, believing he killed Chiu, he and his men became aggressive and attacked since the trio knew too much. Then when defeated, Serrano was't given a chance to explain as Silencio quickly executed him. In the end Padre Serrano had nothing to do with Chiu's death.]]

* SpiritualAdaptation: From the concept alone, this sounds like a modern take on Double Dragon.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Jesus.

* ShoutOut: At one point El Balde is looking through some toys from a street vendor and finds an [[WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017]] plushie.

* HealingFactor:

* DemonicPosession: [[spoiler: Alejandra possesses Isabella in episode 7, and became strong enough to smack El Balde around. Luckily Garcia manages to subdue her with Garabina's knowledge of the occult and exorcise her soon after.]]

* RealityEnsues: Being an OldMaster, Chiu was capable of dealing some serious blows to the mutated man that would otherwise cripple a normal person immediately. Unfortunately the mutated man had an extremely strong HealingFactor and Chiu could only hold him off for so long before becoming exhausted due to his old age, getting him killed.
