Added DiffLines:

* IAmNotPretty: Taylor's reaction to anyone calling her cute or pretty is to retaliate she's not. She even calls herself plain in front of [[LoveInterest Dennis]], who strongly disagrees. Given she is a {{Bifauxnen}} who was teased for her looks in the past, her reaction is somewhat justified.

Added DiffLines:

* PapaWolf: While he'll let her fight her own battles when she needs to, he's rather protective of Dinah after adopting her, like when her teacher at the Academy is dismissing her entire class and gets thrashed in a duel as a result.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Years of bullying do not vanish like that, especially since it caused Taylor's [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening Trigger Event]]. Even though she can face [[GodOfEvil Earthbound Immortals]] without fear, going to school gives Taylor traumatic flashbacks of Winslow and forces her to default to homeschooling, much to her frustration.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Weaver delivers a scathing one to the Black Rose Witch and the other Arcadians by pointing how they keep misusing their powers and blame society for shunning them when it is ''their'' actions that drive people in pushing them away. If they were more creative and used their Monsters, Spells and Traps to help people and assist them, society would be much more welcoming.

* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Downplayed, but Jack admits that he's always been... uncomfortable with sexuality, in part because he knows that he's never quite had the level of trust needed to be truly intimate with someone. This is part of why he was uncomfortable with Yusei and Kalin's relationship; he was worried (correctly, as it turned out), it would turn out badly. In fact, part of the reason he's so eager to help rescue Akiza is because Sayer's action's remind him of Kalin's during his mad romance with Yusei during his descent. It is {{Averted}} with his spouse Himawari who, as his SoulMate, is the only one he trusts enough to go this far. Naturally, her current incarnation is [[IntrepidReporter Carly]].
