  • Accidental Murder: When Crypto's looking away from Pennywise's Deadlights, it screws up his aim with the beam he fires accidentally going through Madama Butterfly's head.
  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Toriel and Sans are revealed to be dating in this episode.
  • Adaptational Wimp: To say that the changes done to most of the Monster Hunter team makes them less powerful than their canonical counterparts would be putting it lightly.
  • Agony of the Feet: During Loona's breakdown, she tries to kick a metal pipe, only to hurt her foot when the pipe doesn't budge.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: After Lubdan uses his magic to fuse Dracula's hands to a wall, the vampire pleads for the leprechaun to free him, promising him to spare his life and give him unlimited wealth. Lubdan doesn't care and leaves him to deal with two Lickers.
  • An Arm and a Leg: When Blaidd attacks the Fake Scorn member and Lubdan, he lops off both of Lubdan's legs, forcing him to retreat basically as a torso.
  • Ascended Extra: Pinhead, after making a cameo of the 11th episode where he takes Kurama with him, participates as an actual contestant this time.
  • Asshole Victim: Madama Butterfly in the second chapter treats The Car like a toy car; catching it, dropping it, watch it try to roll away, then repeats the process until she gets bored of it. This would be cruel... had the vehicle not been a demon-possessed car that terrorized a small town in his movie.
  • At Least I Admit It: As Vortex chews out Loona for only liking him for his muscles, he says that he hangs out with superficial sex maniacs, but at least they're honest about it.
  • A Truce While We Gawk: The destruction caused by Blaidd and the Rathalos fighting causes Loona and Dr. Freudstein to stop fighting to look at the sight. Loona uses this opportunity to kick him off of her.
  • A Twinkle in the Sky: As Crypto and Lubdan are about to fight in the fourth night, the FLYING GORILLA for the FLYING GORILLA APP crashes into the leprechaun and sends him flying into the air, not to be seen for the remainder of the night.
  • Author Filibuster: On the second night, Nyquil in gas form gets released instead of aphrodisiac, to which the author goes on a small tangent pointing out that it's really harmful in gas form and calls out whoever started the trend of cooking chicken with it.
  • Babies Ever After: Stola in her introduction ignores her teammates and imagines herself nurturing the hatchlings she and Blitz would have. Those dreams get dashed upon finding Blitz's dead body in the Bloodbath.
  • Back from the Dead: I.M.P.'s goal is to use the wish to revive Millie's family. Despite the plan almost failing instantly with most of them getting slaughtered before the end of the first day, Loona manages to win and is able to revive them with the wish.
  • Back-to-Back Badasses: Loona and Blaidd prove to be a nearly unstoppable duo when they're in combat together.
  • Battle Rapping: Blaidd and Crypto get subjected into having a Friday Night Funkin' style rap battle in chapter 3, which is cut short when Jean Jacket tries to eat Crypto.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: A mini-wish falls upon the Nomu while it's fighting the Fem-Diablos, who's only caring about crushing the Fem-Diablos at the moment. Its thought gets turned into a giant anvil that tries to crush the Fem-Diablos. Unfortunately it burrows underground to escape while the Nomu gets crushed instead. It survives, but is left trapped for a long time.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Blaidd, who inadvertently rescues the remaining I.M.P. members from the Fake Scorn member and The Thing in chapter 1, and then he along with the Night Fury saves Loona in the nick of time when she's swarmed by Lickers in chapter 2.
  • Big "NO!": Moxxie has one over Millie's death, just before his death as well.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Nyanlathotep has one when an Eliminator suddenly bursts out of a window and tries to attack her.
  • Body Horror: When Crypto fires his Zap-O-Matic at Pyramid Head and Pennywise as another mutation occurs, his beam causes the two of them to distort their bodies into one horrific mishmash. It doesn't last long as Crypto kills them seconds later.

    • How Crypto takes out Madama Butterfly, albeit unintentionally.
  • Brain Bleach: Crypto, after being sucked up and spit out by Jean Jacket, begs for someone to probe his mind after seeing some nasty things while in its mouth.

  • The Bus Came Back: Blitz, Moxxie, Millie, Loona, the Light Fury, Toriel, Renamon, Kass, Dracula, and Gillman return from previous Arenas. Cell and Stolas also return, but with Cell in his Imperfect form and Stolas now as a woman.
    • Bus Crash: ...And Blitz ends up as the first casualty of the episode.
  • Butt-Monkey: Crypto for the first half of the story getting humiliated in nearly every scene he's in.
  • Call-Back: Every character that returns gets at least one reference of them being in a previous Arena, with the I.M.P. team having a discussion about their past experiences in their introduction.
    • Speaking of I.M.P., their participation in this episode comes from wanting to revive Millie's family after most of them were killed in 'The Monster that Challenged Hell'.
    • When questioning whether the altered state of the Monster Hunter creatures would survive, the narration brings up how a Giganotosaurus made it all the way to the end, so it can't judge on the matter.
    • When Cell considers obliterating his 'teammates', he decides to wait until the end. And this time no deals with psychotic android obsessed with creation either.

  • Clothing Damage: When Millie is sent into a wrecked helicopter by a fireball by the Rathalos Dude, the only damage she receives is to her clothes, which nearly renders her nude.
  • Compensating for Something: When Blaidd asks Loona if she’s not used to combat, she tells him that she doesn’t need a sword that overcompensates, before quickly telling him to forget she said that.
  • Continuity Nod: The crux of Loona's flashback comes from Vortex and Mrs. Mayberry taking a temporary 'break' on their relationship.

  • Eldritch Transformation: After Crypto takes the syringe with the mutagen in it, it gives him great powers...and slowly transforms his body. To the point that near the end of the last chapter, there’s barely anything left that resembles Crypto.
  • Eye Scream: While trying to fight off some mutated spiders with Kass, a spare blade of one of Renamon's Diamond Storms accidentally hits Stola in one of her eyes.
    • While Blaidd's fighting the Rathalos, he activates the runes on his sword, which launches ice into one of his eyes.

    • In the beginning of the climax of the Arena, Crypto lifts up Racoon City to show off his powers. And at the end of the fight Loona kicks him off the city and onto the crater of where it once stood, the Furon couldn’t keep it afloat anymore and it lands back down... right on top of him.
  • Impaled With Extremeprejudice: When Dracula tries to escape in his bat form from the Lickers, one of their tongues impales his body, effectively staking him.
  • I Need a Freaking Drink: After Luban crushes some Plague Crawlers with some clover-like plants, he bemoans that he had more powerful magic than that and wonders what happened to him, and decides he needs some whiskey.
  • Informed Attribute: What Millie's personality changes she had after the Mokushiroku incident amounts to since Millie doesn't get much time to show it as she doesn't make it past the first day. Given that her wish of bringing back her family comes to pass, it won't stick. Maybe.
  • I Take Offense to That Last One: After Vortex is done ripping into Loona in his speech, all that Loona can muster as a defense is to weakly say she's not a bimbo.
  • Joke Character: The Fake Scorn member, who only gets one line, then is one of the only two to die during the Bloodbath and is only brought up one more time to be mocked by Caiatl who claims that he wouldn't have lasted a full minute in the bedroom. he does cause the only other death in the Bloodbath by shooting Blitz in the head, however.
    • Kamis-Closet's team consists of Monster Hunter beasts such as a Rathalos and Diablos that wouldn't normally fit this, but they've been altered so drastically that the most beastly one of the team is the Gowngoat of all creatures.
  • Killed Mid-Sentence: Imperfect Cell gets atomized before he can even finish his Flat "What" reaction to Dr. Freudstein's presence.
    • After killing the mimicry leeches, K'Shar thinks that it's over and that she can rest, only to get eaten by Jean Jacket before she can finish her thoughts.

  • Kill It with Fire: When The Visitor's Eye Beams accidentally hits some nearby nitroglycerin, it takes her and The Thing out in a fiery inferno.
  • Kill Steal: Just before Loona can deal the finishing blow on Dr. Freudstein, Crypto telekinetically drags his body away from her and tosses him into a horde of Crimson Heads. He then fries them with his Zap-O-Matic.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: When the Deadly Nadder attempts to kill the Hive Knight for a meal, the knight fights the Deadly Nadder off long enough for the dragon to realize this isn’t a meal worth fighting for and flies away.
    • Art, knowing he’d stand no chance against Pyramid Head, jumps out of a window to escape. It works but leaves him with a broken body.
  • Lack of Empathy: In Vortex's speech to Loona, he tells her he had to console a crying Millie after Loona told her to 'get over it'.
  • Lame Last Words: As Crypto notices that Racoon City is about to come down on top of him, he whimpers "Ah...come on, man...", with him being crushed before he could come up with anything better.
  • Ludicrous Gibs: Moxxie gets reduced to this when he gets chomped by an Alpha Licker.
    • The Azuros Dude has his remains splatter onto the floor when he gets hit by Metal Gear REX's machine gun fire.

When they fire, its barrage of rail gun blasts and missiles completely destroys the building that the four were in.

  • Mood Whiplash: When describing what happened to Millie following the death of most of her family, the last thing mentioned is that her sister Sallie May ate all of the snacks during her stay.
  • Mutual Kill: Art and the Humpbacked Nurse take each other out just before the final battle.
  • Neck Snap: Lamby dies from getting his neck broken while having sex with Nomu.
  • No Body Left Behind: Crypto makes himself known to the remaining contestants at the end of the sixth chapter by sending Nomu into the forcefield, evaporating him.
  • "No. Just… No" Reaction: The narration gives this as the reason why it's not going into detail about Dr. Freudstein trying to masturbate.

  • Pet the Dog: As an additional bonus with Loona winning the Arena, Baskerra gives her a summoning stone so that she Blaidd whenever she wants to, with no strings attached.
  • Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: After Crypto kills Blaidd and the Night Fury, he tells Loona to just give up and die already. To which Loona gives this defiant response:
    Loona: "Funny. I was going to tell you the same thing. That was me being merciful...but you forgot one little detail...I've come too far to just back down like a pussy. No...I'm gonna show you how much of a BITCH I can be!"
  • Pun: Toriel’s Preasskicking One Liner to the Stinger in chapter 4:
    Toriel: "I hate violence... but there are sometimes when even pacifists have become paci-fists!"
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In Loona's flashback, after Vortex realizes what his date with Loona is about (and overhearing her call Mrs. Mayberry a 'gray-haired whore'), Vortex uses the date to give Loona a massive lashing:
    Loona: "I’ve spent so much time organizing this date! Why are you acting like this? Do...do you not like me? Tell me the truth!"
    Vortex: "Alright. The truth...the truth is that you're probably one of the worst people I've met thus far. You treat your adoptive dad like total shit, even after he saved you from living alone and hungry on the street. That's how you repay him? By spitting in the face of his kindness just because he's a little crazy? You don't even have to pay rent thanks to him! He practically handed you that secretary job on a silver platter! And to add insult to injury, you're just as bad, if not worse, to your coworkers. That little southern imp that was crying up a storm? You told her to 'get over it'.I had to console her and, you know what? It didn't cause my head to fall off my own shoulders because I understand this little thing called empathy. The fact I have to point out common decency like that is easy to do? I don't have any words. Oh, but I have a few more. And you're SUCH a goddamn SPONGE. You're too much of a lazy phoneaholic bitch to do your job, leaving everyone else to pick up the slack! Yet, you claim you're SO oppressed for doing the bare fucking minimum! But what REALLY gets to me is that you act like you're so much better than everyone else, which apparently gives you the right to talk down to anybody who makes eye-contact, when, in reality, you're nothing but a shallow BIMBO wearing goth makeup! Yes, I hang out with superficial sex maniacs, but at least they're honest about it! Name ONE reason you like me other than my muscles! I dare you! That's literally all you point out about me! Even though I already have a girlfriend! One that you're actively TRYING to make break up with me! We're making progress and then YOU show up! GOD, you're fucking low! Oh, but anytime people try to bring up how AWFUL you are, they cherry-pick all those times you didn't act like a piece of shit, even though I can count all those times on one hand! Maybe there's something I’m missing, but I don't care if you went through whatever tragic backstory some of your simps make up on the fly. It doesn't give you the right to be a bitch to those who TRIED to reach out to you! Speaking of simps, yeah. They don't care about you! They're just blinded by your body like you were with me! Me and my pals? We see you for whom you are! A spoiled BRAT!"
    Loona: "But...but...I'm...I'm not a bimbo..."
    Vortex: "Yeah. You're probably thinking 'I can’t be a bimbo! I’m so alternative and goth and all that shit!' Well yeah, you are alternative...an alternative to being a decent person! One that I didn't WASTE my time trying to see if there was some good in you! But, you know what? I could forgive it...ALL of it...if...if...nah. Fuck it. I ain't got nothing."
    Loona: "T-Tex?! Wait! I swear, I- "
    Vortex: "Nope! Fuck this! I'm gonna see if I can salvage what I had with Mayberry. For now, take your own advice and sit on a dick. I'm done. I'm just DONE. I really had hope for you. I really did. Shame it amounted to nothing. Thanks for the fucking steak.

  • Ship Tease: The Night Fury becomes quite infatuated with Loona, and on the occasions where she gets close to her, she gets very playful with her.
  • Shout-Out: Blitz's last words before falling over dead is "Ah, crapbaskets."
  • Skewed Priorities: As Stola's facing the beam of lightning that's about to engulf her, is more miffed about how she didn't make it to the end of the Arena, rather than how someone had managed to take her out so easily.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Lubdan, a leprechaun, and Art, a Monster Clown, both think that the best way to travel around town is with a tricycle.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: After Kass takes out an Eliminator that tried to attack him from behind, he boasts that he is very much not traumatized by what he has to do with a forced smile. Toriel then asks if he needs a hug when this is done, to which the Rito gives a miserable nod.
  • Take a Moment to Catch Your Death: When K'Shar's trying to find a place to rest, she comes across a bunch of mimicry leeches, and unloads her entire clip into them before then can get away.

When Loona meets Dr. Freudstein again in chapter 4, she comes close to actually killing him. But before she can deal the killing blow, Crypto telekinetically grabs Dr. Freudstein and kills him. This causes Loona to have a breakdown during the night where she believes that she's useless.
  • Verbal Backspace: When the narration notes that the Gowngoat isn’t with his team in chapter 2.
