Line 11:
* [[Board to Death]]: Wei, to the Chen Long Tang executives.
* [[Conspiracy Redemption]]: Turns out Evening Primrose was trying to prevent a genocide of all contractors that the group Hei had been working for was planning. Hei has a bit of a temper tantrum at the suggestion that Amber, who he hates for whatever happened between them in South America, may actually have the moral high ground.
* [[Contract Onon the Hitman]]: Hei towards the end, once the Syndicate decides he's unreliable, with attempts continuing into the [[Interquel]] period.
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Hei, to Amber, when she asks if he's ''sure'' he doesn't want to go through with her "destroy Japan for the sake of the contractors" plan.
** And Mai and her father in episode 4, though [[Interrupted Cooldown Hug|it get interrupted]].
Line 21:
* [[Dead Star Walking]]: Chiaki seems like she will become a major character and/or love interest for Hei, but not only is she dead by the second episode, she isn't even the real Chiaki.
* [[Dies Wide Open]]: Havock dies with her eyes open, and the final sign that Hei's attitude toward her has changed is that he closes them before going after those responsible.
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: Havoc, ready to die but not to use her power again; Wei, fighting Hei while knowing the outcome and helping him as the last action; Amber, [[Ret-Gone]]-ing herself so that Hei can stop the Syndicate's plan without removing Japan from the map; and several [[Taking You Withwith Me]] cases: Huang, November 11.
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Hei and Amber in the final episode. The unusual part is that it was already done once.
* [[Engineered Public Confession]]: Kirihara manages to catch Director Horai's [[Motive Rant]] on tape, and the timely arrival of first Hei and then Saito and Kono ensures that he doesn't manage a [[Karma Houdini]].
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Nick fits in having the same electric power as Hei and a similarly sensitive personality, but also possessing a Contractor's willingness to kill. Wei might also qualify, in that like Hei, he is Chinese, and seems to be the Contractor who most enjoys murder, in contrast to Hei, who is one of the more pacifistic.
* [[Evolutionary Levels]]: Harvest, from the manga, [[You Fail Biology Forever|fails biology forever]].
* [[Faking the Dead]]: Hei in ep.10. He got his own blood all over his mask and threw himself off a building to fool Wei, only for Wei to have a bit of a nasty surprise when the Black Angel of Death [[Dynamic Entry|crashes through a window]] a few minutes later, kicks him in the face and electrocutes him [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|through the blood all over the floor.]]
** It's also pretty clear that Mina Swami thought he died in the explosion that ensued when he got the Meteor Shard from Nick.
*** Not to mention in episode 2 when he was shot.
Line 34:
* [[Genocide Dilemma]]: Let PANDORA destroy Hell's Gate, killing every Contractor and Doll on the planet, or trigger the Tokyo Explosion and prevent them from ever trying it again, wiping out Japan in the process? Hei, naturally, [[Take a Third Option|finds another option]].
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Considering who he had been working for up till that point, one might suspect that November 11 was still carrying out his job as a double agent when he switched over to Evening Primrose. This was intitially true, but when he finds out the actual truth about MI6's plans, really DOES turn.
* [[Journey to Thethe Center of Thethe 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.
* [[The Kid With the Leash]]: Subverted. It looks like Alice has Wei's leash, but he kills her with absolutely no provocation, remorse, or warning.
Line 56:
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: "''The man you knew as Li no longer exists''." This doesn't stop her from calling him that every time she sees him afterward, though.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Amber's power.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Chiaki, episode 2.
* [[Tragic Monster]]: When Mai goes Moratorium, she causes a lot of unintentional damage, including burning her best friend and her dad to death.
* [[Two Siblings in One]]: Hei and his sister
