* [[Freudian Trio]]: Caro (Id), Cyrus (Ego), and Kris (Superego), of course. Not only is Cyrus the greatest argument-halting force in the group, he also gets the "middle ground" role because... well... on the scale, he's not really ''anywhere''.

* [[Loud of War]]: Giratina's introductory scene. Once she realizes that the group hasn't woken up yet (or so she thought), she tries to bring them back around by playing some nice music that would hopefully wake them up. However, Giratina had to get the Dea Procol Machina modified so that the volume went to ten times the normal maximum, so you can guess how "nice music" turned out.

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: When Mesprit says "DESTROY THEM!" she's not trying to say "KILL THEM!" She means ''literally'' destroying them, as in ripping their souls out of their bodies and burning the remains into little ashes.

* [[Shout-Out]]: An ''entire arc'' has been designated to serve as a shout-out to as many literary works as possible, fan or otherwise. The entire plot premise was based around the 2005 fanfic Hoenn Mirror World, and by extension the video game Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (HMW itself was based off of Amazing Mirror), and there was a reference to [[Brave Story]] with the identity of the previous Guardian of Mirror, as well as a basis for the character Anti-Ash.

'''Abecedarian''' is the Sinnoh-based tale of Rodney Harrison (before we go any further: and yes, ''that'' Rodney) and his considerably older traveling companion Anima Ardall (again: yes, ''that'' Anima). After the former picks up a dropped tile and walks into the woods, he winds up staring ''over the edge of the universe itself''. From there it's into the Unown Zone, which is obviously the dimension where the Unown flit back and forth without any particular purpose. After wandering around for a while and consequently getting the boot, he winds up somewhere around the Solaceon Ruins, where he meets Anima - a Ghost-type trainer who is mildly interested in the Unown. Cue adventure, slippery Unown, and - if irony allows - lots and ''lots'' of Luxrays.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Unintentional and intentional. Rodney, in the early days of his existence as a Neopets roleplay character, has always sort of balanced between Pefectly Behaved and Easily Irritated; the author forgot about this entirely when she came up with what happened to him... ah... ''later''. By then she had been using him without the short temper for quite a while, but upon realizing the similarities she brought it back into his character.

** And as for the intentional part: keeping in mind what happens Later, there will most likely be lots of Electric-types prancing around.
