* AbortedArc: The opening scene of episode 1 shows [[spoiler:what appears to be a digitized Kanae Suido remarking upon the capabilities of the Hazard Cast system as times change/evolve and commenting it's "such a waste".]] This is never referenced again or elaborated upon.



** [[spoiler:Carneades is actually Sakiko . She was simply pretending to be the BigBad so Carneades will be blamed by the public for the recent disasters and so they'll be seen as the fall guy for "hacking" the KANAE system in Gori Suido's eyes (when in reality she's trying to cover up the major bug in the system, fearing Gori will break down when the extreme measures he took with making Asumi's brain the core of the system may end up being in vain).]]

* PrecrimeArrest: The "S.A.R.G." organisation operates with a system that can predict crimes, but aren't allowed to legally arrest the perpetrators until they commit the crimes themselves, much to their frustration.

He also ends up spending the rest of the episode staring at several other women's chests (including Tsuzuragawa and Kozue) leaving them confused & weirded out.

Added entries for: But Thou Must, Fantastic Drug, Freudian Trio, False Dichotomy/Take A Third Option; edited entries for The Reveal, World of Technicolor Hair


* ButThouMust: Mid-way through the story, the city government activates a public safety initiative that basically turns every smartphone in the 24th Ward into a surveillance device. This can't be legally forced on the public, so the users have to allow the program to run by accepting its Terms of Service; but instead of 'yes' or 'no', the options given are very specifically phrased "Accept" or "Later". And even if someone never pressed "Accept", that wouldn't stop the phones of ''other people who did'' from spying on them when they're nearby.



* FantasticDrug: the seemingly untraceable "Drug D", which turns out to be [[spoiler:an app on people's phones, using biometric data it collects to drive them into a frenzy. Its creator, who originally wrote the program as a therapeutic aid, ends up [[GettingHighOnTheirOwnSupply under the influence himself]] and tries to exact vengeance on the tech mogul who exploited his work by blowing him up. It's implied this same technology is also what gives "RGB" their visions and power-ups.]]
* FreudianTrio: Ran is the Id, Koki the Superego, and Shuta the Ego.



** [[spoiler:Asumi's otherwise biologically-dead brain is being used as the core of the KANAE system, and traces of her personality have manifested in its processes. The reason what's left of her consciousness calls on the RGB trio is because the system keeps presenting her with disastrous situations that she cannot resolve herself.]]



** [[spoiler:Asumi is still alive but her mind is being used as the base of the KANAE system. The reason she calls on the RGB trio is because the system keeps presenting her with disastrous situations that she cannot resolve herself.]]



* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Especially noted with Ran, Koki and Shuta being given the group name "RGB" for their hair colors being Red, Green and Blue.

to:

** Also a case of FalseDichotomy and TakeAThirdOption. Each trolley problem presents two possible outcomes, neither of them good, and assumes one of them must happen; but from the beginning this proves not to be the case, as their first intervention succeeds in averting both. But this doesn't mean they find a third option every time, and as the story progresses they actually fall into the trap of believing there isn't one, usually with Ran picking one choice, Koki picking the other, and Shuta being unable to choose.
* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Especially noted with Ran, Koki and Shuta being given the group name "RGB" for their hair colors being Red, Green and Blue. Asumi's hair is also white, which is the combination of all three.
