* MadScientist: [[spoiler:Wants to become a +Anima so he can fly with Blanca]].Blanca. To this end, he gaslights Cooro into thinking he's an {{artificial|Human}} +Anima so that Cooro will transplant his +Anima to him, tries to have kids with bird +Anima like Cyranova kidnapped so he can steal their +Anima for Blanca, and performs unethical experiments on people like Lyra just to see if transferring +Anima is possible.]]


Added DiffLines:

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Cyranova himself isn't that important in the long run, being only in the story for two chapters, but his inclusion is the first of many major details culminating in the reveal [[spoiler:Fly was EvilAllAlong, namely via the institute trying to drug and kidnap him when he refuses to go with them while mentioning Fly telling the researchers to "get as many bird +Anima as possible".]]

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: What his schemes to put Crystala on the throne end up being. While certainly well intetioned and yes, Crystala would make a better ruler than her brother with her stance on giving +Anima more rights, the problem comes from the fact that Sailand's monarchal inheritance works on the system of absolute MALE primogeniture, i.e. only the firstborn son inherits the throne, with seemingly nothing in place for women or female siblings. And because her brother has many sons to choose from if the eldest dies, she quite literally has no claim to the throne no matter what.]]

* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler:After his failed attempt at killing the king, the king states he can't pardon attempted regicide even at his sister's request, and says Kazana has to be executed. Crystala, having already knocked him out, lies and claims she killed him already, the king letting her take his "corpse", instead taking Kazana with her to one of her plantations where he can live in hiding.]]
* DePower: {{Discussed|Trope}}. Kazana remarks how +Anima tend to lose their abilities when they no longer need them, usually as a result of feeling "safe" or "fulfilled". [[spoiler:It's because of this he worries he might lose his own once he goes to work at Crystala's plantation, having heard stories of such happening to other +Anima Crystala had working there. Cooro however notes he already seems happy and fulfilled ''as'' an +Anima if it means working for Crystala.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: In a way, [[spoiler:Kazana never truly lost this for Crystala, with his plan being to not only kill the king, but put Crystala on the throne in his place. Crystala notes that this will backfire on him, as it is the eldest son of the king that inherits the throne, not the king's sibling, and the king has ''many'' sons to choose from if the eldest son dies]].

* HeirClubForMen: [[spoiler:The reason Kazana's "assassinate the king and put Crystala on the throne" plan was doomed to fail--Sailand's laws of succession mean that the king's eldest son inherits the throne, not his sister, and thanks to his RoyalHarem, the king has plenty of sons to choose from and if one of them dies, the next one will take over in his place.
