Line 144:

* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Ywiu, which is pretty much par the course for Singaporean ''beng''.

* [[Slasher Smile]]: "Su-zu-shi-luo screamed, a disturbingly self-satisfied shit-eating grin stretching her facial muscles".

* [[Small Girl Big Gun]]: Sommerhoffnung isn't exactly small, but U3 and Airmaker are modelled after Colt Anacondas.

* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: Sommerhoffnung isn't exactly small, but U3 and Airmaker are modelled after Colt Anacondas.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: The gang leader in the seventh chapter. Broken English, more broken English, {{spoiler|''[[Order of the Stick]]'' reference}}, [[Poirot Speak]]- ''What?''

* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: Played with. [[Magic Realism|Something]] plays [[Memetic Mutation|Fitting Music]] in-universe at appropriate times, with characters aware of this.

Line 152:

* [[Surrounded By Idiots]]: {{spoiler|Sommerhoffnung says this in [[Gratuitous German]] in the fourth chapter. Ywiu does this in the seventh in Spanish.}}

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Asuoui kills the gang leader}} with a spine-stab, throat stab-and-slash, then heart-stab. Might not be instant death stab, but almost all muggles will go to the morgue after that. He then stabs the victim a few more times so that it looks more random and less "professional, if anyone experienced sees they might be suspicious." Might even be [[Cruel and Unusual Death]].

* [[This Cannot Be]]: [[One of Us|Used word-for-word]] by {{spoiler|He-mu-la after Hei-gu-la-shi chooses to give up her powers rather than let Rondeng die.}}

* [[This Cannot Be!]]: [[One of Us|Used word-for-word]] by {{spoiler|He-mu-la after Hei-gu-la-shi chooses to give up her powers rather than let Rondeng die.}}

* [[This Is Sparta]]: Used by Spadotto when speaking to the mystery viewer, who throws it back at him promptly.

* [[Tiny Guy Huge Girl]]: Ymia and Eywon.

Line 161:

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Author's notes for chapter eight mention that Nyarsrof was meant to have a smaller role and Ymia and Eywon were not supposed to exist.

* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Lampshade Hung at the start of the fifth chapter, where Spadotto attempts to think of how best to defeat the Childless but notes that all he has... is a hammer.

* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him]]: Asuoui asks Ywiu why she did not start the fight against the gangsters with torching them. Her reply fails to convince even herself.

* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Asuoui asks Ywiu why she did not start the fight against the gangsters with torching them. Her reply fails to convince even herself.
