* AdaptationalSympathy: Along with being overall less villainous in this timeline, each ex's history and conflict with Ramona is treated with a lot more weight, giving more depth to their "evilness" and how the relationship made them the way they are.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler: All of them end on better terms with Ramona by the end of the series. Lucas and Roxie manage to reconcile with her and make peace. Todd and Gideon have lost interest in dating Ramona, and have fallen in love with Wallace and Julie respectively, (although only the latter blossomed into a stable relationship). Thanks to his confidence boost, Matthew has started to focus on himself and his Broadway career, and moved on from Ramona. Although they never find closure with Ramona face-to-face, the Twins seem no longer interested in revenge, as the knowledge that they end being friends with Ramona's current partner, Scott, is enough for them to give up on villainy. Zigzagged with Gideon, in that he still wants to destroy her and Scott, but it's just because he is an evil villain, he is happy with Julie and seems no longer interested in controlling Ramona's love life like other incarnations of the character.]]

* VillainHasAPoint: Despite their method, the League (sans Gideon and Todd) has a legitimate grievance with Ramona because of how she broke with each of them and didn't respect them as romantic partners. Ramona only dated Matthew to get the jocks off her back and vulgarly dumped him after the fact, she unceremoniously dumped Lucas because she found Todd more of a bad boy than him, she casually left Roxie made her feel worthless, and she cheated on the Katayanagi twins with each other to spite their playboy attitudes. [[spoiler: In the end, Ramona does make peace with a majority of The League, accepting that she was being selfish and she wasn't entirely blameless in her cycle of bad relationships due to her own commitment issues and preference of leaving her problems behind without trying to fix them.]]

* JerkassToOne: The "Crueler to One"-type, his egotism kinda puts him at odds with a lot of people, but he specifically singles out Todd Ingram in the few scenes they share and interact with one another, even targeting his interests to get into acting compared to his later support of Matthew's pursuits into Broadway. Which makes sense as Todd Ingram was the "Bad Boy" Ex that Ramona left him for, thus he has major beef with him on principle.

* TopHeavyGuy: This adaptation gives Lucas a larger and more muscular upper body than he did in the comic. Wallace even points out how he's got the "best chest in the business".

* BadBoss: He has no respect towards any of the other Evil Exes and is just using them to get Ramona for himself - something he ends up outright admitting. This ends up biting him when Matthew defeats him, as [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership once it becomes clear he's no longer the strongest among them]], there is nothing to keep the Evil Exes loyal to him. It also doesn't help that he doesn't even know the Katayangi twins' names, and refers to them as "twin" and "other twin".

* BreakTheHaughty: The controlling, power-hungry, cocksure Gideon is left humiliated and with nothing by his fight with Matthew; and while [[spoiler:it doesn't stop him from getting back on his villainous grind by the end of the season]], his resultant low point leads him to finding seemingly honest equal connection with others for a change in the pursuit of comfort and sympathy (as seen in his relationship with Julie and his surprise bromance with Lucas).



* PsychopathicManchild: After he shacks up with Julie, he really leans into the manchild part, becoming a lazy and depressed bum who spends his days watching anime. He also invites Lucas over so the two could skate, have paintball shootouts, play video games, and do other fun boyish activities. [[spoiler:At least until it turns out that he never lost the psychopathic part, and planned to retake his fortune from Matthew by '''killing him.''']]

Added DiffLines:

* PsychoLesbian: Subverted. While she initially seems like one, going after Ramona of her own free will even after the League disbanded, it turns out she was angry about the lack of resolution Ramona gave their relationship and after the two reconcile, she's rather friendly and cheerful.

* LoveTriangle: While it is never touched upon in the comics or the other adaptations, this continuity makes it clear that Lucas is well aware that Ramona dumped him for Todd. This informs a subtle one-sided rivalry between the two that [[UnknownRival Todd never picks up on]].

* AdaptationalNationality: In the comics, Ken claims that English isn't their first language, implying that both were born and raised in Japan. However, Julian Cihi provides both of them with American accents, implying that the twins are Japanese-American in this continuity.
