* IronicName: Applied to the Armed Detective Agency, who are armed with superpowers but aren't exactly detectives[[note]]They do some regular detective work, but mostly function as a privately-run special operations team[[/note]]. The only aversion to this would be Ranpo Edogawa whose "power" is just his awesome intellect. Yeah, ''that'' Ranpo Edogawa, listed under AwesomenessByAnalysis.
* KansasCityShuffle: Fyodor pulls this off against the ADA. After Fyodor instigates a war between the ADA and the Port Mafia, Ranpo finds the only way to avoid facilitating the Rats' destruction of Yokohama is to not play by his rules, and has everyone seek out the Ability user responsible for the virus in lieu of fighting the mafia. Unfortunately, Fyodor planned for this and set up a horrific trap trap to break the ADA, ending with the meaningless death of a young girl as it turns out the supposed culprit was only a decoy who manipulated children to defend him, demonstrating to the ADA they cannot break the rules, and attempting to will end badly.

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: Several chapters use the exact or modified title of the works by famous Japanese and Western authors. If it is the case, then the character named after this particular author will play an important role in the chapter.

* LogicalWeakness: With a rare exception or two (usually involving those who's powers are always active), all of the empowered characters need to manually summon/invoke their powers before it kicks in, meaning anyone clever or quick enough to attack before a power is summoned is likely to defeat or outright kill their target. [[spoiler:This is what makes Oda's seemingly useless ability 'Flawless' so deadly, as the CombatClairvoyance it grants him whenever his life is in danger means he'll ''always'' be able to strike first and strike true (and failing that, still be able to quickly suss out a way to win).]]

* MasterOfIllusion: Junichirou Tanizaki, with his power Light Snow. He seems most comfortable using it for sneak attacks and reconnaissance, but has been known to make tactical use of it during combat.
* MexicanStandoff: Happens between Odasaku and Gide in the conclusion of the Dark Era. The exact moment is described in the Light Novel [[https://nkhrchy.tumblr.com/post/148247598657/bsd-novel-dazai-osamu-and-the-dark-era-chapter here]].
* MistakenForSuperpowered: Edogawa Ranpo has an ability called "Ultra Deduction", which allows him to [[SherlockScan instantly figure out the answer to a mystery]] simply by putting on his glasses. Or at least, that's what he believes. The truth is, he's just insanely observant, and can put together every detail at a crime scene in seconds. He's deluded himself into believing he has a supernatural ability so he can fit in with his teammates at the Armed Detective Agency.
* MoodWhiplash: Happens in ''Wan!''. One episode features several hilarious of the ADA sharing a meal, Atsushi and Chuuya trapped in an elevator and the ADA having fun on a summer night. However, right at the end while the characters are admiring the fireworks, Dazai talks about suicide. Atsushi laughs that he would rather Dazai live, but is ignored and realizes [[DeathSeeker Dazai isn't joking]]. The end credits roll and instead of happily skipping as usual, Atsushi sits and stares into space as it gets darker, becoming more visibly distressed until he holds his head in his lap. It cuts back to festival where he tells Dazai very seriously not to ever talk about killing himself, only for Dazai to completely ignore him once again. The otherwise purely comedic episode then ends on this extremely depressing note.

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Sort of [[InvertedTrope inverted]]. The Port Mafia has a knack for wearing professional suits that cover the entire body as well as longcoats trailing like a cape behind them. The mafia women usually follow suit, with the exception of the [[KickingAssInAllHerFinery long kimono-wearing Kouyou]]. The Agency perfers casual clothing loose around the shoulders. WordOfGod says that this was intentional, and it is likely this was put in due to the mafia's need to show off their status, while the Agency isn't really that known to the public and, as such, don't need to do that.

* SignificantBirthDate: Everyone shares a birthdate with the author they're named after. This has become such a consistent gimmick that characters who don't have their birthday officially stated but are named after a writer, are often assumed to have their birthdate shared by their original referenced author. For example, Andre Gide is assumed to have his birthdate at November 22.

* WritersCannotDoMath: Mostly in the form of ImprobableAge, Kunikida is the biggest victim of this (he used to be a math teacher before joining the Agency, despite being only 22 years old and one of the Agency's earlier members, looking like he's reaching thirty), but the timeline of the also 22-year-old Dazai's backstory (or [[MysteriousPast what's known of it at least]]) is inconsistent and improbable as well.
