** Each of the final trials was truly fun and emotional, but shoutout especially to R5, which called back to R2's cascade of revelations while involving every single character up to that point.
** R1's last player trial involved unique game mechanics such as TheMole and hinged on the players rigging the vote in their own favour.

** [[AdvertisingByAssociation From the creators of]] murdergame ''Roleplay/DanganRoleplay'', with elements of later games and all-new material.
** The story itself heavily borrows elements from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony''. However, it's played in far less of a FanHater way, [[spoiler:as in-universe fans are led to believe that the murder show is fictional and the fandom is portrayed lovingly instead of with revulsion]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In Round 2, when the formal wear turns to goofy yet cute Halloween costumes, [[spoiler:Cece as the lion tamer to Kip's lion looks like a role reversal gag.]] ''Much'' later, we learn that it's {{foreshadowing}} [[spoiler:that Cece is secretly the mastermind]].
* HarsherInHindsight: After Kurumi stands down with nearly everyone defending Ricky from her implied threat in the first trial, Natsuhi won't give it up, and Kurumi says [[spoiler:she's not going to kill Ricky. Yeah, Kurumi, how did that go for you?]]

* MemeticBadass: Yuuri's [[SilkHidingSteel composed yet menacing]] aura has made her this both in- and out-of-universe. She's acknowledged as being the most frightening by far of the Knifeglaive, even if she's [[BadassNormal the only fully human one without any powers]].
** [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Ignis Scientia]], who doesn't even appear in person until the very final log, is also this due to flashbacks and conversation in ''Airlocked.'' The game's Discord has joked that, among all the military leaders, chosen heroes, gods, and more helplessly kidnapped for the Champion Excellence Program, Ignis might have been selected as a Champion and been the only one to have actually escaped Nina's grasp.

** Similarly, for round 5, many players chose regains specifically to upset each other.

** Similarly, for round 5, many players chose regains specifically to upset each other. This was compounded during the Week of Terror, where mods gave characters painful regains from previous rounds, usually their dead friends' but occasionally their own things that didn't make it to their Round 5 regain lists.

Does SPAM count as a color when capitalized? Anyway, namespacing RWBY.

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Kurumi from Round 1 gets a lot of this, especially from the in-universe fandom. Sure, Ricky/Kurumi is far from the only ship to [[spoiler:have one half kill the other]] and Ricky's no saint herself, but at least the others ''agreed'' to it, whereas Kurumi deceived and betrayed Ricky entirely on purpose. The fact that the two talk things over later and the [[EasilyForgiven easy forgiveness]] that follows is addressed by the other characters, though, keeps it from being as bad as it could have been.
