Line 10 ⟶ 11:
The films are not to be confused with a certain stage in [[Super Smash Bros.|a certain fighting game]]. Although the original film's title was inspired by [[Within Temptation|a song of the same name]], said song does not appear in ''any'' of the films.

== In General ==
* [[Alternate Universe]]: It's implied by both Alex and Clear in the first movie in the scene where they are sitting in a park that they're actually living in an alternate universe from our own; where Death is not a biological state of a creature, but a sentient force of nature that has a master plan that basically trolls every human being on the planet from birth- planning to kill every person in a specific way from the moment they are born.
{{quote|'''Clear''': "I've thought a lot about that somewhere, Alex. It exists, that place. Where my dad is still safe. Where he had a full pack of cigarettes that night and just kept driving. Where me and my mom and my dad are still together... and I have no idea about this life here. Where our friends are still in the sky... where everyone gets a second chance. "}}
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Cassandra Truth]]
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Flip-flopped - so many things get set up that it gets so convoluted, and then subverted when something comes straight out of the blue. In fact, [[Genre Savvy|long-time fans]] might start playing "count the way this room could kill you" with each new scene.
* [[Cosmic Close Call]]: The main premise of the franchise mixes this with [[Balancing Death's Books]] - one or more people among a group of friends manages to survive such an unfortunate event that was supposed to claim their lives, and Death is out to correct that mistake as the survivors try their best to fight fate.
* [[Cosmic Plaything]]: All the protagonists.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Death is real and he either [[God Is Evil|hates you]] or [[Cosmic Plaything|thinks your silly attempts to live are amusing]]. Also, because of Death, horrible accidents that involve dozens or even ''hundreds'' of people dying are commonplace.
