* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: After assessing the situation in Paris, Nick Fury ultimately decides that being as uninvolved as possible is the best course of action. With the glamour-based magic used to cover their tracks, learning Hawk Moth's location and identity is a fruitless endeavor and a waste of time. Even worse, no one has any idea how much of his victims' knowledge Hawk Moth has access to; if he ends up akumatizing another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he may be able to steal secrets. Ladybug and Chat Noir are the only ones who can fight a force as powerful as the akumatized villains, with Ladybug the only one capable of containing the akuma and fixing all of the damage that they cause on a daily basis. Tony is against this at first, but he changes his mind after [[spoiler:nearly destroying everyone when he himself gets akumatized, which -- as Fury notes -- is probably the ''only'' thing that could have changed his mind.]] And while it's not mentioned in-story, the concept of Hawk Moth using his gifts to akumatize the one Avenger who would be most vulnerable to his methods -- the Incredible Hulk -- would be ''exceedingly bad''. Just take a look at what he did to [[Film/AvengersAgeofUltron Johannesburg]].

* AllMenArePerverts: Defied. Adrien, ever the gentleman, closes his eyes when he ends up under Seamstress while running away from her, so that he won't look up her skirt. Tony actually takes note of this as he can't believe a HormonalTeenager would resist a chance like that.

Added DiffLines:

* GildedCage: Discussed in regards to Adrien's room. At first glance, it looks like any teenage boy's dream bedroom, with two and a half floors of space and all the fun amenities a teenager could ever want. However, on closer inspection, Tony realizes that it carries the same sort of suffocating perfection as the rest of the Agreste mansion; there's no personal touch, no mess, nothing to indicate that a teenage boy actually ''lives'' in it. Most jarringly is the row of arcade machines -- there's a DDR-like dance machine among them, custom-made so there's only one pad instead of two, carrying the implication that Adrien's father [[ControlFreak doesn't want him bringing friends into the house]].

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When talking to Fury about pulling out of Paris, Natasha mentions spotting a pattern in terms of akumatizations -- when a bystander actively helps Ladybug and Chat Noir, that bystander is usually the next one to get akumatized (e.g. Jagged Stone helped them fight off Pixelator, and was subsequently transformed into Guitar Villain). [[spoiler:Hawk Moth's next target ends up being Tony, who'd helped Ladybug and Chat Noir fight off the Seamstress previously.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: In the first chapter, Adrien recognizes Natasha from the Battle of New York and advises her to steer clear of Chloé, because if the heiress recognizes her she'll probably force her to take selfies with her. In the last (pre-epilogue) chapter, as the Avengers are leaving, Nino tells them they picked a good time to do so -- because Chloé finally figured out that Natasha was in Paris and ended up throwing a tantrum over her departure.

** Chloe's been responsible for so many Akuma that Ladybug isn't even surprised anymore.

* KickTheDog: Once again, Chloe's AlphaBitch brattiness is the cause of an Akuma attack, by accidentally dumping ''red wine'' on a woman's white dress (that she'd made herself) and both [[NeverMyFault refusing to say she's sorry]] and then mocking the woman when she runs off crying. When Adrien hears about it, [[OhNoNotAgain he immediately fears the worst]] and tries to send somebody to help the woman... [[SpeakOfTheDevil just a couple of seconds before she barges back into the room, akumatized into "The Seamstress" and looking for Chloe's blood.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: After Chloe ruins a woman's dress and mocks her, sending her running off in tears, Tony tells Adrien that he should give her a few minutes of privacy. While this would be good advice in any realistic setting, he's in ''Miraculous Ladybug'', people with emotional breakdowns get driven murderously berserk by dark magic, and you really can't afford to take your eyes off people in this state (as said woman proves).

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:After the Peacemonger incident, Tony ultimately agrees that having the Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D. operate in Paris would be too much of a risk, forcing them to pull out and leaving Ladybug and Chat Noir without their direct aid. However, their conversations with the other heroes help the Parisian heroes make great advances in directly coordinating with each other, and they end up with a closer bond than they did previously.]]

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Discussed and deconstructed by the Avengers when they figure out that Ladybug and Chat Noir are teens, not because they are "JustAKid", but because living this kind of life is destructive in the long term due to sheer exhaustion. On the other hand, having a family to provide food and roof is pointed out to be a safety net that they would not have if they had to work for it.
