{{Unmarked Spoilers}}
{{tropelist|page=Darker than Black}}
* '''[[Anyone Can Die]]''': A ''lot'' of the core cast is dead at the end of the first season.
▲* [[Anyone Can Die]]: A ''lot'' of the core cast is dead at the end of the first season. {{spoiler|Though Mao turns out to have been [[Not Quite Dead]].}}
** In fact, it's often something of a surprise (and a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|relief]]) when most of the characters focused on in a two-episode arc manage to survive intact.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The genocide against Contractors has been defeated and some leaders of [[The Syndicate]] are dead or imprisoned. On the other hand, a lot of characters have died, and while it's theoretically good that Contractors are now revealed to the public, there is the obvious danger of what an evil Contractor could do. Finally, it seems plausible that there are still Syndicate leaders alive who could threaten the protagonists in the future.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]]: [[Mind Screw|Something like this]] happens in the last episode, when Amber activates Hei's [[Reality Warper]] abilities and he's confronted with his buried insecurities, fears, and regrets.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Surprisingly subverted at the very end. Eric Nishijima is backstabbed by his boss, his boss is then exposed by Kirihara. However, season two shows that not everything is resolved with their Organization.
* [[
* '''[[Kill'Em All]]''': Most of the principle and recurring characters die during the final four episodes, leaving Yin, Hei and Kirihara as some of the only survivors. Mao's body is still alive, but his human mind (which was stored on a database somewhere else) had the plug pulled, effectively killing him. (Mao's mind was recovered in Season Two.)
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Dr. Schrader. He's actually a [[Affably Evil|nice and chatty guy]], but thinks it's really great idea to indiscriminately eradicate some portion of humanity (thus cornering said people into trying [[Throwaway Country]] trick just to stop him) ''and'' bet the whole Earth (it's already ''all'' under [[Alien Sky]] undeniably connected to Gates and Contractors, remember?) on the validity of his theories. [[For Science!|In a single experiment]]. Which is supposed to be [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup|non-repeatable]] even if successful. Why not, indeed?
** It helps that his reaction to Hei interfering in an attempt to destroy the Gate, leaving [[The Syndicate]]'s plan shot to hell, is absolute ''glee'' that he got something so cool to study the results of.
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: Amber plans for Wei to be killed by Hei. If Wei didn't dramatically die up against the Gate's wall, or if he was electrocuted, our heroes would never have gotten inside. But then, she ''can'' see the future...
