Line 2:
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: [[Deconstructed]] but not at first glance. {{spoiler|It is only when the brainwashing effect of the summoning contract starting to wear off when Saito's [[Angst]] begins.}}
* [[Canon Sue]] - Tabitha's long lost twin sister, who seems to have been created from a checklist of [[Mary Sue]] cliches.
* [[Colbert Bump]] - The series recently saw a ''huge'' upswing in popularity on the Spacebattles Creative Writing board after ''[[The Hill of Swords]]'' showed up on the Fanfiction Recommendations thread; prior to that, it had been an almost complete unknown in the community, now ZnT fanfic threads have practically taken over the board.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] - {{spoiler|Saitou goes alone against up against an army of 70,000 bloodthirsty, berserk soldiers, and dies heroically}}. Big damn hero, even if he was fighting them for his girlfriend and not Tristain.
** It's not so much that {{spoiler|he went up against an army alone, it's that he ''disrupted and held them off for four goddamn hours by himself.''}}
Line 8:
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: Siesta treats Saito much better than Louise, but is ''loathed'' by fandom for that.
* [[Dismissed Gender]] / [[Double Standard]] / [[Values Dissonance]] - Invoked plenty of times to say the least. Although then again Louise is not acting very different from what nobles actually did during Ancient Rome and Middle Ages. At one point killing a commoner (not to mention beating them up if they displeased you) ceased to be a crime '''at all''' (that usually didn't apply to townsfolk though, who were under protection of law to the extent that you had to have a valid reason to kill them).
* [[Double Standard]]: Louise gets bashed for her abuse of Saito, yet very few people seem to care about his creepy perversion or rape attempts on her which, unlike Louise's questionable actions, are never provoked.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]] - In chapter 2 of the second light novel, Louise whips Saito (not with a riding crop, but a ''real'' whip) until he passes out from the pain, after a previous beating from the night before.
** In another point, Louise woke up to find Saito [[What the Hell, Hero?|trying to undress her in her sleep so he could rape her]]. Not nearly as many fans are bothered by this compared Louise's abuse of Saito.
Line 16:
{{quote|"Tabitha has taken over Siesta as my favorite character, and not just because she is channeling Yuki. She is made of pure win, I don't usually like the stoic silent types, but something about Tabitha just makes my inner moe meter go berserk."}}
** Louise may also count.
* [[
** This is of course when shippers stop [[Die for Our Ship|painting the other as a manipulating monster, who just wants to interrupt true love]]
** Also Louise generally gets [[Unstoppable Rage|very violent]] when [[Green-Eyed Monster|another woman so much as looks at Saito funny]].
