* RapePillageAndBurn: The Prussian army pillage and burn France once they successfully manage to infiltrate it, targeting wealthy Bourgeoisie refugees who try to flee the country. While the "rape" part isn't apparent, in episode 4, a Prussian man ''way older'' than Isabelle stares down at her with a vile grin, assuming they're alone, only for Jean to attack him with a stick.
* RedShirtArmy: Here and there. They're ruthless when it comes to shooting the French military, but they're incompetent when it comes to shooting a fleeing Isabelle, Jean and Victor in episode 4. It also doesn't occur to them to do the obvious (shoot their horses), which Victor does.

*BestHerToBedHer: When Isabelle was a child, she made a promise swearing that she would only marry someone stronger than her. After her father suggests she marry Jean, the next day, she challenges him to a duel. Though Jean wins, she doesn't tell him of her father's suggestion, and Jean leaves, calling the duel fun, unaware of the bigger picture.



*UnderestimatingBadassery: Isabelle sees Jean as a crybaby (to be fair, she wasn't wrong) in spite of his protests that he isn't. When she challenges him to a duel, to her shock, Jean wins, the latter remarking that he's been practicing his sword craft every day. However, because Jean is the show's ButtMonkey, he then embaresses himself by falling off his horse while trying to climb it.
