{{tropelist}}

* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Nanako
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The President
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Redhead]]}}: Minato
* [[Fridge Brilliance]] / [[Continuity Nod]]: Subaru, the company, is the Japanese name for the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades_:Pleiades (star_cluster)star cluster)|Pleiades]], a Star Cluster. {{spoiler|Guess where they're transporting the "President"?}}
* [[Gainax Ending]]: {{spoiler|Subaru enters the artificial garden a second time. She sees that it's night time in there, and there's one flower remaining.}} Though it's not quite as confusing as other endings.

** Nanako is [[Angel Beats (Anime)!|Yusa]] also a relatively emotionless girl.

* {{spoiler|[[Super -Powered Evil Side]]: Minato}}
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: There's only one, and Subaru was first transforming.
