* UnusuallyUninterestingSight - Rose holds Roy at gunpoint in the middle of a busy sidewalk, and ''no one'' but Solty reacts.
* WeHelpTheHelpless -- Rose and her partners.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle - Episode 23 ends with [[spoiler: Ashley and Eunomia defeated, and the city rebuilding, complete with HardWorkMontage]]. Unfortunately, Solty discovers that [[spoiler: Eirene is about to pull a ColonyDrop on the city]]. Not good.
