* [[Four Is Death]]:

** [[Doom Magnet]] William D Porter, whose outrageously bad luck causes harm to those around her, has the callsign Uatu One-Four.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: In Chapter Three, Uileag gives not being able to leave anyone to die as the reason for his actions in Chapter One, something that Ayaka gives him grief over. In Chapter 36, {{spoiler|it's Ayaka's turn to do just that, something she acknowledges in Chapter 37.}}

* [[Sorry That I'm Dying]]: In Chapter One, {{spoiler|a badly-hurt Uileag who thinks he's dying asks that his apologies be passed along to Ayaka.}}

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Ayaka is a towering 6'8", appropriate considering how her original ship self was among the longest of its generation.

* [[Villain Opening Scene]]: After the summary, the prologue is about the abyssal supreme commander starting the attack on humanity.

* [[Worst Aid]]: In Chapter One, Uileag briefly contemplates the wisdom or lack thereof in moving someone who's been injured. He also tells a constructionman not to remove shrapnel lest the victim bleed out faster.
