* EmotionalPowers: While it goes unstated in the Canto itself, the CG of when the Elder confrotns the Pallid Whale has rings of light appear around the tip of his harpoon, which are the visual representation of the power of Shin (心).

* EmotionalPowers: They can be seen materializing glowing rings around their weapons when attacking, seemingly making their attacks more powerful. ''Webcomic/{{Leviathan}}'' reveals that [[spoiler: those rings are a visual effect of manifesting the power called "Sin" that, much like E.G.O., can be summoned by harnessing one's own emotions.]]

Maid Ryōshū is alternate version of *Ryōshū* taking Nelly's role, not an alternate version of Nelly herself. So this doesn't really apply.


* {{Irony}}: Despite Nelly's claims that [[spoiler:every Nelly suffers from Heathcliff and Catherine, the only other version of her we see is Ryoshu's Edgar Family Head Butler ID who doesn't seem to share the sentiment. If you take this ID into the fight with Nelly, she'll mock her as a poor excuse of a chief butler.]]

* IJustWantToBeLoved: [[spoiler:Later parts of Canto VI reveal that Linton was so in love with Catherine that he was willing to do anything to receive her affections, and that her not reciprocating his love crushed him to the point where he became fanatically desperate to do anything just for scraps of her attention. This culminates in him spending most of his money buying her a Golden Bough, assisting her plan to effectively ''kill herself in every world'', kidnapping countless citizens for experimentation, then killing ''himself'' to summon the Erlking, all while Catherine herself is effectively dead - solely out of a twisted desire that she'd appreciate his efforts to give himself up for her goals.]]

* TheDreaded: Everyone in the group that is aware of what the Middle is capable of, like Ryoushu and Rodya, make it VERY clear from the moment he appears that Limbus Company, to the point rhar Ryoushu decides to take OneLastSmoke as she is confident that they're going to meet a painful and permanent death.

** It's not explicitly explained why she [[spoiler:transforms into a Peccatulum-like abomination -- she's not an Abnormality in technical terms, it's not an E.G.O, and while monstrous, it doesn't follow the usual rules of Distortions, which needs the victim of Distortion to be at their lowest point emotionally -- meanwhile, Kromer doesn't even drop her psychotic grin once. It's potentially just an effect of resonating with the Golden Bough.]]

Further confusing things is that following the retroactive reclassification of non-Abnormality entities, Kromer's second form uses the same "Undefined" class normally exclusive to Distortions. It's potentially just an effect of resonating with the Golden Bough.]]

* BizarreAlienBiology: Surprisingly averted for the most part. Although it does have its own share of alien weirdness, such as its Mermaids and having a second heart within its heart, most of the Pallid Whale's internals are fairly similar to a normal whale outside of its sheer size.

to:

* BeastOfTheApocalypse: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] - Ahab ''claims'' that the Pallid Whale is the source of all evil and is going to cause the apocalypse in order to paint her insane hunt as a righteous crusade, but there's no indication that the Whale is anything more than a dangerous sea-monster.

Added DiffLines:

* NighInvulnerable: The Pallid Whale's body is described as tougher than an R. Corp fortress, and not even a Color like the Indigo Elder, who specializes in hunting Whales, is able to bring it down by himself. [[spoiler: Ultimately, it's only when the Sinners go inside it and rip out its heart that the Whale goes down for good.]]

* {{BFS}}: Erlking Heathcliff wields a greatsword nearly as long as he is tall, seemingly made out of broken mirrors and barbed wire.

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:Tragically, much like in the original story, Isabella's ill-fated attempt to find love results in her perishing as a tool for Heathcliff to have his revenge, in the most literal sense at that given her existence was overwritten by Mirror Heathcliff's.]]

* DyingCurse: After Heathcliff deals him the fatal blow, he has a few moments to say that, [[NotSoDifferentRemark just as he had done]], Heathcliff would have slain as many of their [[AlternateSelf Alternate Selves]] as he could if he'd known how they were responsible for Cathy dying in despair in every Mirror World, and manages to show Heathcliff just that before he dies, driving him to a DespairEventHorizon and giving the Voice the opportunity to turn him into a Distortion.

Adding some stuff on a few characters. Added entry for Mrs. Earnshaw.

Added DiffLines:

* ISeeDeadPeople: Like Cathy, she claims to see and hear the voice of Mr. Earnshaw's late wife, the Mistress of Wuthering Heights.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Though she's obviously based on the character of Joseph from Wuthering Heights, she arguably draws from "Literature/Rebecca"'s Mrs. Danvers with her obsession with her dead Mistress.


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Mr. Earnshaw]]
!!Mrs. Earnshaw
Catherine and Hindley's mother.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Is she actually a ghost? What was she doing under the manor?
* TheGhost: Literally, if we're to take Cathy and Josephine's word for it.
* PosthumousCharacter: Like her husband, long dead by the time the canto happens.
* UnknownCharacter: A lot of dialogue implies that she was involved in something involving the deeper mysteries of the City and [[spoiler:directly built Wuthering Heights over 'an underground river' that may be an EldritchLocation]]], but all of it is in passing.
